NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Naturally, Yao Ming would not disappoint anyone. After receiving the pass from Zhang Jinshui, he turned sideways, raised his hand to pretend to shoot, and directly shook Lorenzen White to jump.

Yao Ming took advantage of the situation to dribble into the lane, dunked the ball hard into the basket, and completed the Rockets' first sports game score.

The score on the field became 2-2.

In the next 3 and 4 minutes, the Grizzlies and Rockets used Pau Gasol and Yao Ming respectively as the core of their offensive tactics.

Every time Pau Gasol floats outside the three-second zone to receive the ball, if Yao Ming does not follow up from the three-second zone, he will resolutely move to a comfortable position to make a mid-range shot.

If Yao Ming chases after him, Pau Gasol, who has excellent ball-handling ability and moving footwork and was once hailed as the successor of Toni Kukoc, will control the ball and stick to Yao Ming, while dodging and moving inside, he can still find Get some good shots.

During this period, Gasol made 5 of 3 shots and also assisted Mike Miller, who was ambushing the bottom line, to hit a three-pointer, maintaining a very high offensive efficiency.

I have to admit that Pau Gasol, who has received a lot of praise from the outside world this season, has turned Yao Ming into his own pedal during this period.

Zhang Jinshui can even imagine that after this game, there is no way for Yao Ming to attack on the offensive end, and it will become the necessary means for those troublesome media to raise Pau Gasol and lower Yao Ming.

Fortunately, Yao Ming, who knew his shame and acted bravely, played quite strongly on the offensive end.

In the face of Lorenzen White's full resistance, Yao Ming hardly used peaceful offensive methods such as turnaround jump shots and small hooks. Instead, he continued to use gorgeous Shanghai dance steps to shake the opponent's center so that he could not dance, and finally used Direct layups or dunks are two simple and crude ways to end the offense.

During this period of time, Yao Ming made all four of his offensive attempts, and caused Lorenzen White, who was a little annoyed, to make a defensive foul and went to the free throw line to make two free throws.

火箭队和灰熊队的比分，也从2比2,6比6一直打到了10比11。

But gradually, Yao Ming, who tried his best on both defensive and offensive ends, showed signs of overdrawing his physical strength ahead of time.

In addition, the Grizzlies also began to double-team Yao Ming, and the Rockets' offense at Yao Ming's point came to a standstill.

Although Van Gundy quickly realized that he swapped the defensive positions of Yao Ming and Chuck Hayes seemed very superfluous, and adjusted the defensive positions of the two back in time.

But Chuck Hayes still couldn't stop Pau Gasol's offense, and Yao Ming's exhausted physical strength couldn't make up for a while, and his offense was weak.

Under the ebb and flow, when the first quarter of the game reached the 5th minute, the Rockets trailed the Grizzlies by 10 points 15 to 5.

Zhang Jinshui began to transfer the ball to McGrady frequently after Yao Ming was double-teamed.

However, it may be because McGrady is defending McGrady today. His teammate Mike Miller, who has the best relationship with the Magic, is very familiar with his offensive habits.

Under Mike Miller's defense, McGrady's success rate in singles was not high. Although he forced a jumper and hit a 2-pointer to help the Rockets move forward, the two breakthroughs to the inside did not cause any damage.

After the 7th minute of the first quarter, when Van Gundy replaced Tracy McGrady as originally planned and replaced Luther Hyde, the score on the court had become 12 to 19, and the situation of the Rockets deteriorated further.

Next, Van Gundy on the sidelines began to ask Yao Ming to come out to help Zhang Jinshui with pick-and-rolls and screens, and let Zhang Jinshui take on the heavy responsibility of offense.

However, when Zhang Jinshui twice handed the ball to Yao Ming who was raised to the high post for support, and then started to run an open three-pointer under the off-ball screen of Luther Head, Chuck Hayes and Shane Battier, I don't know why, but he always feels that the movement is weird.

Although both times barely ran out of open space, the Grizzlies' defensive teammates were always able to have some impact on Zhang Jinshui's long-range three-point shots, and finally caused Zhang Jinshui's two three-point shots to bounce off the frame out.

Gradually, Zhang Jinshui figured it out. Although Sean Battier and Chuck Hayes have memorized the tactics of running without the ball and used them fairly well, the little difference between good and very good The difference, magnified to Zhang Jinshui's final shot, is the difference between making and not making.

When Van Gundy mentioned yesterday that the Rockets' roster is undergoing major changes and needs to be adjusted, Zhang Jinshui didn't take it too seriously. After all, their paper strength seems to have been greatly enhanced.

Judging from the actual effect of the game now, the word "run-in" is really important for a team.

When there were only 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets, whose offense was blocked, were already 14 points behind the Grizzlies 24-10.

So far in the new season, this should be the worst start the Rockets have ever encountered.

Van Gundy, with a stern expression on his face, finally gave in. He waved to the assistant referee, replaced Yao Ming, Battier and other main lineups, replaced them with Sprewell, and together with Zhang Jinshui led Uncle Mu, Uncle Huo and Lu Thurhead and other substitute players.

When Battier was off the court, the idiotic fans in the stands once again booed one after another.

Not far from the Rockets bench, a fat middle-aged fat man even shouted arrogantly: "Battier, thank you for getting out of Memphis, open your eyes and see how strong we are now!"

Battier sat back on the bench without any emotion on his face.

But seeing Battier's gloomy Zhang Jinshui, I knew he must be feeling bad.

An unknown anger ignited in Zhang Jinshui's chest. He pointed at the fat pig man and shouted loudly, "Silly X, shut up for me."

"Shut up XX, keep playing your iron on the field, rookie! You will definitely export all your underwear today, hahahaha!" The fat pig man made a beating expression and laughed wildly.

Zhang Jinshui wanted to scold him again, but Sprewell, who had just moved to the field and was standing next to Zhang Jinshui, stopped him, walked to the sidelines in two steps, stared at Fat Pig Nan who was not far away, and said viciously:

"You trash, don't shut up, believe it or not, I will stuff your shoes into your mouth after the game is over."

The fat pig man's face, which was still very arrogant, turned red and white in an instant when the fat on his face shivered, and he just shut up obediently.

It could be seen that he was really afraid that if Sprewell went crazy, he would rush out to beat him up.

Only then did Zhang Jinshui realize that Sprewell, who got along with everyone as soon as he joined the team, is actually a historic NBA villain who can be compared with Lambiel, and others are really afraid of him.

"Don't be as knowledgeable as these rubbish fans on the sidelines, or you will be annoyed. Vent all your anger to the opponent's basket, and don't let me run laps in the next training." Sprewell turned around and took a picture He patted Jin Shui on the shoulder, and then walked to his place.

Zhang Jinshui nodded, took a deep breath, and stabilized his emotions.

With the whistle of the referee, the substitution is over and the game restarts.

Zhang Jinshui took Uncle Huo's baseline serve and carefully brought the ball to the field.

At this time, the Grizzlies have also replaced the main players such as Pau Gasol and Mike Miller. The former All-Star guard of the Lakers, Eddie Jones, who was kicked out because of Kobe's arrival, and the Kings in the 02-03 season Bobby Jackson, the Sixth Man of the Year, led the team.

Zhang Jinshui held a breath of anger in his heart, and was about to trigger the [best route] to help the Rockets chase some points, when Sprewell shouted loudly: "Zhang Jinshui, please have a chance to have fun on the court."

Zhang Jinshui passed the ball without thinking.

After Sprewell received the ball, he let out a strange cry, and with a change of direction, he crushed Eddie Jones and broke into the inside.

The 35-year-old Sprewell naturally no longer has the start-up speed that was known as the "fastest first step in the league" back then, but now his confrontation ability is no worse than that of young players. Eddie Jones' close defense and opponents Under the supplementary defense of the center, he just stumbled and threw the ball into the basket during the whole confrontation.

Frankly speaking, Sprewell's simple and crude scoring method is definitely not what the Rockets are willing to use, especially Eddie Jones, who has been selected to the league's best defensive first team and second team four times, is facing him.

But when the Rockets' running tactics were blocked, this method did have some effects.

"Strike!" Zhang Jinshui shouted to Sprewell when retreating.

Yao Ming McGrady and other Rockets players sitting on the bench stood up one after another, and together with Van Gundy standing on the sidelines, they applauded and cheered for Sprewell's first scoring in the Rockets.

Naturally, what they want to express is not their approval of Sprewell's offensive method, but their acceptance and tolerance of this legendary guard who once replaced Jordan, who played baseball in his second season in the league, and entered the league's first team.

And the madman who has been playing in the league for 13 years is no longer the reckless, unknowing boy he was back then.

In the next offensive round, after receiving a pass from Zhang Jinshui, he pretended to break through to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation, and returned the ball to Zhang Jinshui.

Naturally, Zhang Jinshui could not live up to Sprewell's entrustment, and immediately triggered the [best route] with his mind.

Following the guidance of the green indicator line, he first broke through Bobby Jackson's defense with the [Lightning First Step] after dribbling the ball continuously under the crotch, and then made a rhythm change with a pause and then changed direction, passing his former teammate Swift, Jump high and put the ball in the basket with ease.

"This breakthrough is elegant enough!" Sprewell laughed loudly, and when he retreated, he clapped Zhang Jinshui's hands hard. The strength was so great that the corner of Zhang Jinshui's mouth twitched in pain.

In the next round, the seasoned Sprewell stayed close to Eddie Jones' side.

The moment Bobby Jackson passed the ball to Eddie Jones, he suddenly rushed up like a cheetah, broke the basketball flying in the air, and rushed all the way to the frontcourt at high speed, and passed the free throw line two steps away. Jumped up and completed a one-arm dunk.

After landing on the ground, without waiting for Zhang Jinshui and other teammates to appreciate him, he had already got himself up, and while stepping back, he hit his chest vigorously with his fist, and yelled "wow, blah blah".

Sprewell's infectious power on the court was so strong that even Zhang Jinshui's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he yelled together with the madman.

At this moment, Zhang Jinshui finally understood why Garnett had such a big opinion on them after the Timberwolves management gave up Sprewell.

As long as it is a player who really loves playing on the court and hopes to win the game, who can not love a teammate like Sprewell who is devoted to the court and plays passionately.

Now he only played 1 minute, not only helped the Rockets chase the score to 20 to 24, but more importantly, he has already spread his passion to every player on and off the court of the Rockets, turning everyone from Freed from the depression of a bad start.

Zhang Jinshui was suddenly full of pride. He laughed and shouted to Sprewell: "Brother Yang, this ball, let you see my defensive steps that follow me like a shadow."

"Fuck, you still dare to call me the breadwinner? You can't defend the ball, so just run laps with me!" Sprewell said through gritted teeth.

At this time, with less than 40 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Bobby Jackson took the pass and quickly advanced forward. It was obvious that he intended to make a quick attack, so that after the Rockets' attack was completed, the last attack was reserved. Opportunity.

Zhang Jinshui immediately stopped him.

Relying on the special effects of "Like a Shadow", Zhang Jinshui stuck to the opponent very well, blocking the opponent's advance route.

In the end, Bobby Jackson, who wanted to quickly break into the paint but failed, could only slow down his movement and let their backup center help him with a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.

But after reaching the inside, Uncle Mu, who had been prepared for a long time, caused great interference to his layup, which eventually caused his layup to go out of the frame.

Before the opponent's rebounding center, Sprewell rushed forward, confiscated the backcourt rebound, and held it in his arms vigilantly. After all the Grizzlies players began to return to defense, he did not Dribbled the ball again.

At this point, with 23 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the last opportunity for the attack fell into the hands of the Rockets.

Zhang Jinshui ran beside Sprewell, and smiled proudly: "How about it, Dududu, my defense is not bad, right?"

Sprewell asked with a strange look: "What do you mean by calling me Dudu?"

"What do you mean, that's what you mean." Zhang Jinshui blinked and said with a smile, "Will you come for the last ball?"

Sprewell immediately thought of the words "provider", and threw the ball to Zhang Jinshui "angrily", saying, "I don't shoot, aren't you the best at shooting three-pointers at the buzzer? Score one and let me Long experience!"
