NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

With a swipe, the three-pointer went into the net hollowly.

14 is better than 20

Zhang Jinshui helped the Rockets chase the score to only 6 points.

The mvp shouts in the stands of the arco arena finally faded away.

This time, Zhang Jinshui didn't restrain his emotions any more, raised three fingers in his right hand, and shook them fiercely in the air.

"Pretty, Zhang Jinshui, this is what I want you to give me on the court!" Van Gundy's emotions began to rise, and he shouted loudly on the sidelines.

"Jin Shui, good shot!" Yao Ming gave Zhang Jinshui a high-five as he passed by, and said with a smile, "Thank you for adding an assist to me."

Offensive and defensive transition, Mike Bibby brought the ball to the frontcourt.

At this time, Zhang Jinshui had already scored 1 points on his head through a breakthrough and a three-pointer, but he was not affected in any way by his experience.

He passed the ball to Brad Miller who ran to the free throw line as a high post supporter, and then took Zhang Jinshui to the garden outside the three-point line.

Brad Miller made an inside pass and handed the ball to power forward Abdullasim, who was selected as an Eastern All-Star in 2002. Down two points.

22 to 14, the point difference returned to 8 points.

Zhang Jinshui secretly sighed in his heart that the paper strength of the Kings' starting lineup is too strong.

除了两个全明星后场，上赛季场均15分9篮板4助攻的安德烈米勒和曾经数个赛季获得20分9篮板的阿卜杜拉西姆都有很强的进攻能力。

Even Bunch Wells, who is relatively the least famous, was once a member of the Trail Blazers gang, averaging 17 points and 6 rebounds per game.

Today's game is destined to be very difficult.

Zhang Jinshui received Swift's baseline pass and carefully advanced to the frontcourt. After Yao Ming got the position inside, he again handed the ball to Yao Ming from the outside at a 60-degree angle.

After passing the ball, he wanted to continue to move towards the top of the arc, but Bunch Wells' defense had intentionally or unintentionally covered that position, obviously to prevent him from ambush to that area again.

From this simple defensive change, we can see how fast the real NBA team's defense updates in the game.

In comparison, the summer league teams are a bunch of scum.

With limited space, Zhang Jinshui could only stop at a 60-degree angle. Mike Bibby let him go to the inside to double-team Yao Ming.

Soon, Zhang Jinshui received a pass from Yao Ming from the inside.

Seeing Mike Bibby pounced on him, Zhang Jinshui was about to bite the bullet and step on the yellow light circle under his feet to shoot a three-pointer.

Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Yao Ming forcing Andre Miller and getting the position under the basket.

He didn't even think about it, and immediately passed the ball straight back. Yao Ming caught the ball and dunked it.

16 to 22, the Rockets continued to bite the point difference at 6 points.

Zhang Jinshui and Yao Ming clapped their hands, smiled and returned to him what the other party said to him just now: "Yao Ming, thank you for adding an assist to me."

Seeing that the chemical reaction between Zhang Jinshui and Yao Ming was getting better and better, Kings coach Rick Adelman decisively called a timeout.

Zhang Jinshui returned to the bench with Yao Ming and other teammates. Van Gundy patted him on the back and shouted: "It's beautiful, Zhang Jinshui, just keep playing like this, and we will be done tonight."

Immediately afterwards, Coach Van Gundy began to adjust the lineup on the field.

"Yao Ming, come down and rest for a while."

"Zhang Jinshui, next you bring Joan Barry, Swift, Mutombo and David Wesley to play together."

"I want you to run a pick-and-roll with Swift, drive in, go to the rim if you have a chance, and give it to Swift or Jon Barry and David Wesley on the outside if you don't have a chance."

"The two minutes at the end of the first quarter are crucial, you have to bite the score for me!"

Unlike the summer league that gave Zhang Jinshui unlimited autonomy, Van Gundy now arranges tactics in great detail and requires Zhang Jinshui to execute them accurately.

Zhang Jinshui nodded solemnly to show that he knew what he should do, but he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

In the last Rockets game, Van Gundy seldom put Yao Mai dual-core together on the bench unless it was garbage time.

After all, when Yao Mai was not on the court at the same time, the Rockets collapsed too many times, which is really worrying.

And now, trailing by 6 points in the first quarter, Van Gundy boldly put Yao Mai on the sidelines to rest at the same time, letting him play with a substitute lineup.

This shows that his performance on the court just now has initially gained Van Gundy's trust. This kind of trust in the NBA is completely incomparable to the trust in the summer league.

After the timeout ended, Zhang Jinshui returned to the field with Swift and others.

The Kings also put half of the main players on the bench, leaving only Brad Miller and Bunch Wells.

But these two people alone are enough for the Rockets' inside substitutes to drink a pot.

After the Kings served to the frontcourt, Brad Miller once again mentioned the free throw line to take the ball to support him, and easily found Bunch Wells, who was running back, and assisted the latter to complete a dunk at the basket.

On Zhang Jinshui's side, Van Gundy's tactics were strictly implemented.

He took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately signaled Swift to mention the high position to help him with the pick-and-roll, creating a dislocation opportunity between him and Brad Miller.

This kind of dislocation is the offensive method that Zhang Jinshui is good at and likes to use in the summer league. After he dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch, he performed [Lightning First Step] and easily broke through Brad Miller's defense.

However, on the inside of the Kings, Bunch Wells, who was supplementing the defense, was already stuck on his breakthrough route ahead of time.

The defensive awareness of nba players is indeed not comparable to those fringe players in the summer league.

Fortunately, Zhang Jinshui's ability to pass the ball has improved a lot during the two and a half months of the devil's special training. After seeing Bunch Wells, he subconsciously jumped high to the side and looked up to find the opponent. Bit of Jonbari.

Sure enough, Qiongbali had already run to the bottom corner alone, and Zhang Jinshui immediately passed the basketball in his hand.

The veteran, who made an astonishing 45% of his three-pointers last season, lived up to expectations and made a solid three-pointer after receiving the ball.

19 to 24, Zhang Jinshui led a group of Rockets substitutes still firmly biting the score.

In the remaining 2 minutes of the first quarter, the mutual support between Brad Miller and Bunch Wells was still a nightmare that the Rockets' substitutes could not get rid of. They scored 4 points and 2 points respectively, making the Kings score in the first quarter Locked in at 30 points.

The Rockets, under the leadership of Zhang Jinshui, insisted on the pick-and-roll tactics arranged by Van Gundy.

Zhang Jinshui seems to be the engine of this bench lineup.

He and Swift played three pick-and-rolls in a row. Although neither of them had a chance to hit the basket directly, he assisted Swift, who had explosive jumping ability, to complete an alley-oop dunk, and found the ball twice after breaking through. Joan Barry in the bottom corner and David Wesley in the top of the arc.

Jumbari failed to score another three-pointer, but the basketball that bounced out of the frame was snatched by Uncle Mu, who scored two points with a tip-up.

David Wesley also lived up to expectations. After catching the ball at the top of the arc, he pretended to shoot, swayed the opponent's defense, then went inside and scored two points.

In the end, after the first quarter, the Rockets trailed the Kings by 25 points 30 to 5 and continued to cling to the score.

In this section of the game, Zhang Jinshui scored 5 points and 3 assists, completing the tactical tasks assigned by Van Gundy well.

Back on the bench, Yao Ming, McGrady and other players on the bench all stepped forward to bump fists with Zhang Jinshui.

"Zhang Jinshui, you helped us win the score. This is very important. In the next game, we will play much better."

Van Gundy patted Jinshui and praised loudly.

Then, he turned to look at Maddie.

"McGrady, it's up to you whether you can overtake the score at the beginning of the second quarter!"
