NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Chapter 216 Zhang Jinshui's Counterattack Against Arenas, and the Difficult Wizards Team

Immediately afterwards, after Yao Ming turned around and threw a bomb out of the frame, Arenas took the ball to the frontcourt and asked his teammates to open the inside line again, wanting to continue singles against Zhang Jinshui.

McGrady on the side said: "Zhang Jinshui, don't be afraid, Battier and I will help you defend!"

Zhang Jinshui waved his hand and said loudly, "No, I'll do it myself!"

Arenas twitched his lips and showed a contemptuous smile. After changing direction with one crotch, he rushed directly along Zhang Jinshui's right hand.

Zhang Jinshui made the best use of the perimeter defense badge [following like a shadow], and while retreating, he stuck tightly to Arenas.

Then, after the two entangled with each other and entered the three-second zone, Arenas used his body to resist Zhang Jinshui, relying on his strong strength to prevent Zhang Jinshui from taking off and hindering his layup, and then jumped up and put the ball in. up the basket.

At first glance, the ball seemed a bit bumpy, but only Zhang Jinshui, the person involved, knew that Arenas perfectly combined his ball control, strength and layup rhythm in this layup, and completely crushed the ball. Overwhelmed Zhang Jinshui's defense.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Arenas hits Zhang Jinshui 100 times in singles in this way, Zhang Jinshui thinks it would be good if he can defend 20 times.

After scoring the goal, Arenas flaunted his biceps in front of Zhang Jinshui while retreating.

The fans in the MIC center arena were already celebrating Arenas like crazy in the stands, and many provocative words got into Zhang Jinshui's ears.

"Zhang Jinshui, you can't either!"

"It doesn't matter whether you are Zhang Jinshui or Zhang Yinshui, in Washington, in front of our general Arenas, you will not be able to do anything."

The score on the field also became 4-0, and Arenas helped the Wizards get off to a good start.

The metallic system voice rang in Zhang Jinshui's ears: "In a one-on-one matchup, the opponent succeeded in a breakthrough layup. May I ask whether you can activate [Tit for Tat] and return the opponent for a breakthrough layup."

Zhang Jinshui hesitated for a while, and finally chose not to activate with his mind.

In addition to individual singles, another strength of Arenas is the three-pointer, and Arenas will definitely target himself today.

Zhang Jinshui naturally hopes that the purple badge of [Tit for Tat] can be used at a better time in the next game, and it is best to contribute three points.

However, not using [Tit for Tat] does not mean that Zhang Jinshui will not respond to Arenas. Zhang Jinshui must not allow himself to become a breakthrough for the Wizards to attack the Rockets.

After receiving the pass from Birdman Anderson, Zhang Jinshui brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then waved his hand to let Yao Ming pull out.

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Jinshui was going to respond to Arenas in singles, he waved his hand to Anderson, the birdman who entered the frontcourt a few steps back, and called a pick-and-roll.

At the moment of misalignment with Jamison after the pick-and-roll, Birdman Anderson turned around and rushed to the basket next to Arenas, and Zhang Jinshui then hoisted the ball into the empty Wizards inside.

Birdman Anderson took two strides to catch the ball, and without even dribbling, he jumped up and poured the ball into the Wizards' basket.

2 to 4, Zhang Jinshui assisted Birdman Anderson to break the deadlock for the Rockets.

Although Zhang Jinshui didn't directly respond to Arenas with a score for this ball, at least he launched an attack that completely tore through the Wizards' defense, and it calmed down some crazy Wizards fans in the stands.

However, after returning to the defensive end, Zhang Jinshui still couldn't stop Arenas.

Arenas, who is like a miniature tank, has used his strength advantage to the extreme in the offense, which is not something Zhang Jinshui can fight against.

Frankly speaking, Arenas, who relies on personal offense and physical condition to play, is absolutely not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Nash and Kidd in organizational ability, and his overall view on the court is also average. His entire career will never be possible. Reach the height of those two.

But he is a point guard with an average brain and who uses his physical advantage to the extreme. Instead, he has become the most restrained Zhang Jinshui among these top point guards.

当第一节的比赛进行到第8分钟的时候,阿里纳斯7投5中,3分球2投1中,拿下了11分1助攻2篮板的数据,帮助奇才队和火箭队打成了19比19,远胜张金水的2分2助攻。

It is an exaggeration to say that Arenas beat Zhang Jinshui in the first quarter.

At this time, Van Gundy of the Rockets replaced Yao Ming according to the deployment before the game, leaving Zhang Jinshui to lead the team alone on the court.

The Wizards also made adjustments, replacing Jamison and Butler, the second of the tridents, leaving Zhang Jinshui alone.

The intention of the head coach of the Wizards is very obvious, that is to use their strong point, Arenas, to completely crush Zhang Jinshui today.

Standing on the sidelines, Van Gundy's face became a little dignified. He hesitated for a moment and asked loudly: "Zhang Jinshui, should we replace you first, to save our energy, we just finished playing the Warriors, and then we have to Playing knights."

However, the Rockets won the Warriors without bloodshed in the last game, so there is no worry about physical strength.

Zhang Jinshui knew very well that Van Gundy was afraid that he would be blown up by Arenas, so he wanted to use this excuse to replace him.

However, if he chooses to escape in the face of such setbacks, what face does Zhang Jinshui have to talk about helping the Rockets win the championship.

Zhang Jinshui shook his head firmly at Van Gundy, and then continued to participate in the game.

After Zhang Jinshui broke into the paint and passed the pass to Battier in the bottom corner, it was the Wizards' turn to attack.

Arenas took the ball to the frontcourt and said arrogantly: "Your Rockets, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, are not on the court. I'm going to make you cry."

Zhang Jinshui grinned and said, "Oh, really? Then let's try."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jinshui directly activated the purple badge [Ability Value Explosion Table] with his mind, and exploded the stealing ability value to 100.

When Arenas waved his hand again to tear away all his teammates inside, Zhang Jinshui suddenly started, like a cheetah lurking in the grass suddenly rushing towards its prey, and rushed directly towards the basketball that Arenas slapped to the ground.

Before Arenas could react and control the ball back into his hands, Zhang Jinshui had already slammed the ball into the Wizards' backcourt cleanly.

Then, Zhang Jinshui quickly rushed forward, controlled the basketball, and completed a powerful one-arm dunk in one go.

21 to 19, Zhang Jinshui used this interception to lead the score without helping the Rockets, and made a successful defense against Arenas for the first time.

However, this kind of occasional successful defense after several failures is obviously not convincing.

The mood of the Wizards fans in the stands is still very restless, and they all agree that Zhang Jinshui is just stepping on shit luck.

Arenas on the court also didn't care about the missed ball just now. He took the teammate's baseline serve, dribbled the ball to the front court again, and said to Zhang Jinshui: "Boy, you were lucky just now. Steal me once."

Zhang Jinshui grinned, and without further ado, rushed towards the basketball that Arenas slapped to the ground again.

On his body, there is still the special effect blessing of [Explosive Ability Value], and this time the steal is still extremely sharp.

Even though Arenas had already scored 12 points behind his back while being arrogant on the surface, he was still directly intercepted by Zhang Jinshui to the basketball.

After Zhang Jinshui controlled the basketball, Arenas immediately counter-robbed Zhang Jinshui on the spot at the first moment, and finally did not give Zhang Jinshui a chance to directly convert the steal into a counterattack.

But this ball, Zhang Jinshui really helped Zhang Jinshui grab the ball again.

Just now there was a burst of noisy and dissatisfied fans in the stands, but this time they finally calmed down completely. Van Gundy and others on the sidelines were also relieved, and shouted to Zhang Jinshui: "Good job, Zhang Jinshui, don't worry! , There is no chance of a direct counterattack, just hit the success rate."

Zhang Jinshui nodded. Under the tight defense of Arenas, he brought the ball to the frontcourt. Instead of attacking easily, he handed the ball to the madman Sprewell.

Seeing that there was no chance of revenge against Zhang Jinshui on the defensive end in this round, Arenas couldn't help complaining: "Why did you pass the ball? If you have the ability, you single-handedly beat me."

Zhang Jinshui grinned and said, "I stole two of you in a row. I'm a little tired. Let's take a rest."

Those two simple sentences made Arenas even more unhappy.

And just as Arenas was searching for new words in his head to fight back against Zhang Jinshui, Zhang Jinshui suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the corner of the weak side where there were no Wizards defenders at all, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Brother Yang!"

Unspoken, the foster brother immediately threw the ball to the bottom corner with a large diagonal pass at an extremely large angle. At the moment Zhang Jinshui sprinted over with all his strength, he just threw the ball into Zhang Jinshui's hands.

Zhang Jinshui took the basketball, because he threw Arenas too far, he even paused and adjusted for a second, and then stepped on the light green halo on the soles of his feet, jumped high, and threw The ball is thrown.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air, and finally hits the net with a swish.

24 to 19, Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets lead the Wizards by 5 points.

This time, the stands of the MIC Center Arena completely died down.

Zhang Jinshui completely silenced the Wizards fans with his 5 points and 2 steals in the past two rounds. He proved with his actual performance that Arenas is indeed very strong, but Zhang Jinshui is definitely not in vain.

Of course, with Arenas' current competitive state, Zhang Jinshui can occasionally show some color to the opponent, but it is absolutely impossible to completely suppress the opponent.

In the next game, after adjusting his mentality, Arenas started to score on Zhang Jinshui's head again, but he never dared to underestimate Zhang Jinshui again.

As for Zhang Jinshui, although he could do nothing against Arenas on the defensive end, he helped the Rockets stabilize their rhythm through his personal scoring and offensive organization on the offensive end.

When the first quarter ended, the Rockets still led the Wizards by 28 points 25-3.

And when Zhang Jinshui and the Wizards' number one star were on par, Tracy McGrady would naturally stand up and take over the game.

In the first half of the second quarter, McGrady used a breakthrough layup, a pull-up three-pointer, 2 free throws from the free throw line, and 2 assists to help the Rockets lead by 38 points 28-10. Grasp the rhythm of the game.

However, the Wizards, who just overturned the Pistons at home some time ago, do not intend to let the Rockets take away the game so easily.

In the second half of the second quarter, the other two of the Trident, Jamison and Butler, also stood up.

First, Butler, who hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, and then Jamison, who successfully singled Birdman Anderson in the low post on the right side, led the Wizards to a 10-0 scoring climax together. , Helping the Wizards will only trail the Rockets by 53 points 55 to 2.

The Wizards can definitely be regarded as the most difficult opponent the Rockets have encountered in the past half a month.

During the intermission, Alston’s jokes were rare in the Rockets’ locker room. Van Gundy even squeezed out some time during everyone’s break to share some of the problems found in the first half and the areas that need to be corrected one by one. Communicate with the players.

However, in the second half, the Rockets still couldn't fully control the situation on the court.

In fact, if you look at it round by round, the Rockets' offense is pretty smooth. Zhang Jinshui, Yao Ming and McGrady all played some of their favorite shots.

On the defensive end, since Zhang Jinshui made two consecutive steals against Arenas, the Wizards can no longer maintain their pressure on the Rockets at any point.

However, what makes people feel helpless is that every time the Rockets are about to start on the offensive end and widen the point difference to more than 5 points, the Wizards can always use one or two of the tridents to play suddenly, and then the Rockets will be able to win. Fill in the gap.

Throughout the third quarter, in the high-intensity confrontation, the point difference between the two teams went from 55 to 53, to 60 to 60, to 67 to 65, and finally to 78 to 78. entangled together.

You know, after the Christmas break, the Rockets started the schedule with back-to-backs, and immediately picked up the away game.

Such a fierce game against the Wizards has already made Yao Mai and many other players out of breath.

The physical strength of the players has once again become a problem that Van Gundy has to worry about.

What caught him off guard was that the head coach of the Wizards was keen to grasp this shortcoming of the Rockets.

After waiting for the Rockets in Washington for two days, they even sent the entire main lineup to the field at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

So, the problem came back to Van Gundy again, whether to continue the original deployment, Ren McGrady took the substitute lineup against the opponent's full main lineup, or gritted his teeth, sent the full main lineup, and directly fought the opponent in the last 12 minutes. .
