The world of basketball

Chapter 16 Battle Rocket ([-])
After the timeout, Coach Wharton just encouraged the disciples not to collapse, to play steadily, and to hit the inside as much as possible.

"The Rockets' three-pointer in the offensive and defensive conversion is indeed too fast. The Lakers need to play more inside. While improving the shooting rate, they must also control the Rockets from playing fast breaks." Su Qun said for the Lakers. .

Through the cross pick-and-roll Harden and Capela switched defenses, Mu Xiaobei turned his back and planned to eat Harden alone.

With Mu Xiaobei leaning back, Harden's style of play looks very dexterous, especially his step-back, but in fact his upper and lower body strength is very strong, and it is not enough to defend Mu Xiaobei's back-up. Don't suffer.

On the third dribble, Mu Xiaobei suddenly flicked his wrist and passed the ball.

Boom——

James received a pass from Mu Xiaobei, made an air cut dunk!

"Pretty—" Wang Zixing praised.

"This is what Mu Xiaobei can do. James used to like to play like this when he was in the Cavaliers. He played in the low post, let his teammates make cuts, and fed them cakes." Su Qun said with a smile: "I didn't expect James to eat it too." A day of cake made by someone else."

As long as they can score the ball in their own offensive rounds, the Rockets will naturally not be able to play fast breaks that switch offense and defense.

Harden holds the ball and Capela picks and rolls for Harden.

This is the most familiar scene for the Rockets. Mu Xiaobei carefully observed the positions of the two men, judging how to defend, and thought in his heart: If Harden takes a step back, let him shoot. It really is not. Method.

Capela really went down, and grabbed a relatively front position.

Harden took advantage of the trend to throw high, Mu Xiaobei did not try to steal, because once he made a steal, it would be difficult for him to keep up with Capela for defensive moves, and a passing master like Harden must have estimated his height, and he must Give enough advance.

Capela received the ball and stood up suddenly, but Mu Xiaobei didn't stand up casually, but stuck to Capela, making it difficult for him to jump up. After all, he was more than ten centimeters taller than Capela.

Sure enough, Capela took the ball back again.

Capela got up and shook again, but Mu Xiaobei still didn't get up.

Capela quickly passed the ball out, and he also hurried out of the paint.

But it was still a step too late, "beep -", the whistle sounded, and the three-second offense was violated.

"The defense is good. Mu Xiaobei's domestic CBA experience also makes him not like a rookie. He is very experienced and solid." Su Qun explained.

"Yes, Xiaomu is indeed a very experienced and steady player." Wang Zixing echoed.

The Lakers stabilized the situation through constant inside air cuts and inside breakthroughs. Especially when Mu Xiaobei was able to pull Capela out, his ability to protect the frame and assist defense was relatively limited.

The Rockets, whose offensive and defensive transitions are limited, can also continue to score through singles and three-pointers. Then the Rockets' offensive feel declined, but they were beaten into several fast breaks by the Lakers.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, Mu Xiaobei was replaced. At this time, the score came to 18:26, and the Lakers trailed by eight points.

"Hey Wood, make a bold shot, and hit back if there is a misalignment." Mu Xiaobei, who was panting heavily and drinking Gatorade, listened to Rondo's words and nodded to show that he understood.

On-field coach Rajon Rondo lives up to his name.

Substitute players come on the field in rotation. The Lakers' second team Rondo, Stephenson, Beasley, Kuzma, McGee are not inferior to the Rockets' second team of Nat, McAway, Tucker, Nene, and Green. , but it lacks a little running-in.

And the Rockets rarely have Harden, Gordon, and Paul not on the court at the same time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 33 points 44:[-].

"It doesn't matter, remember, we must focus on the inside in the second quarter. Of course, this doesn't mean that we can't shoot outside. Do you understand what I mean?" During the break, Coach Wharton arranged tactics for everyone.

"Relax, be active when defending, and be active when running, and don't need to reserve physical fitness." James also instructed his younger brothers.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers lineup on the court was a transitional lineup-Rondo, Hart, Ingram, Mu Xiaobei and McGee.The Rockets are also a transition lineup-Paul, Knight, McAway, Anthony, Nene.

Rondo dribbled the ball and passed the ball directly to Mu Xiaobei. Anthony, who was defending Mu Xiaobei, was holding his big butt.

Mu Xiaobei pushes up once, then hits again, and turns around and jumps to hook his hand. This trick was learned from watching Lefu's video, and it was also Lefu's signature move in the past.

Swah——

"It's beautiful. Mu Xiaobei's outside shooting is only part of his technical moves. His footwork around the basket and low-post ability are also neglected. Of course, it is really difficult for him to get so many possessions in the Lakers." Su Qun analyzed: "Now the Lakers emphasize counterattack speed and space, so there are very few opportunities for Mu Xiaobei to play in the low post."

The teammates were very decisive and gave Mu Xiaobei a lot of trust.

Nene gave Paul a pick-and-roll, and McGee's defense was very experienced. Paul didn't get a good shot, and then passed the ball to McAway.

McAway suddenly accelerated, passed Ingram, and went straight to the basket.

Like the wind and lightning, McAway took a big step and took three steps straight. Mu Xiaobei gritted his teeth and decided to let go of Anthony and go up to defend him.

McAway's body is gliding in the air, and it should be impossible to pass it out.

Mu Xiaobei jumped up high, judging the timing of McAway's landing here, he also jumped up high.

When McAway saw Mu Xiaobei jumping up, he felt a little bit bitter. Why is this rookie so sloppy?

With this in mind, McAway lowered his raised arms and changed his wrist into a basket-picking posture.

This perverted physical fitness!

The slam dunk is a pick-and-pull pull-bar, and only those with good physical fitness can do it.

At the moment the basketball just left his hand, Ingram shot out from the diagonal stab, and with his long hands and long arms, McAway's ball should have been thrown out of the court.

"Wow--"

This block directly detonated the audience, and the old Zhan and Finsen on the bench were doing exaggerated and funny moves.

"The Lakers will definitely achieve better results this season, as can be seen from Ingram's block," Su Qun commented: "First of all, Mu Xiaobei chose to let go of Anthony. I'm not afraid that if Anthony scores a goal, the coach will Put the blame on him. In addition, although Ingram was passed, he still pays attention to his position on the field."

"This block can reflect the focus and selflessness of this young Lakers. I think this season the Lakers can go farther than we thought."

I don’t know if it would be weird for the Lakers generals in Los Angeles to hear this mouthful of milk from the mysterious East, but although the personnel on the field are constantly being adjusted, this transitional lineup is better than the first team and the second team just now. better.

With James playing, Mu Xiaobei finally hit the first three-pointer of the game.

Moreover, if there is one, there are two. The old Nene can't keep up with Mu Xiaobei's footsteps, so Mu Xiaobei, who is young and more than ten centimeters taller than Nene, cuts and shoots outside. Shock, after the second quarter, the Lakers recovered the point difference to only six points, and the score between the Lakers and the Rockets came to 68:74.
