NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

At this time, there were still 3 minutes before the end of the third quarter. Zhang Jinshui returned to the field with Uncle Mu, Swift, Jon Barry and David Wesley.

On the opposite side of the Kings, there is only one main player left in Raheem, and the other four players are all substitutes.

In it, Zhang Jinshui also saw the figure of Kevin Martin.

The second-year rookie will develop into a 20-point-per-game star guard in a year, but right now, his offense and defense on the court are all immature.

At this time, Zhang Jinshui has discovered the biggest shortcoming of this Kings team, that is, their substitute lineup is really bad.

So much so that their starting five had obviously exhausted their strength in the confrontation with Yao Mai, but Adelman still had to keep one or two starters on the field.

Zhang Jinshui began to continuously signal Swift to help him with the pick-and-roll, pulling Raheem out to face him.

Then, Zhang Jinshui will not break through the opponent immediately.

Instead, they consume the opponent's physical strength by constantly dribbling the ball under the crotch and changing directions left and right, and do not attack until the last moment.

Although in the first two rounds of using this tactic, Zhang Jinshui's breakthrough at the last moment failed to achieve anything under the defense of the opposing player.

However, as Raheem's physical strength was exhausted, the Kings' defensive system and offensive system collapsed at the same time.

In the next 2 minutes, Zhang Jinshui scored two points for a layup and assisted Swift to complete a dunk. A hit.

The trio added up to six points for the Rockets.

As for the Kings, Raheem's initial low-post singles only succeeded once. Martin walked to the free throw line and scored 2 points. As for the remaining two or three offensive rounds, all mistakes occurred during the passing process.

With 23 seconds left in the third quarter, the Rockets led by 79 points 71:8 and still had the ball for the final attack.

Seeing that Rahim was getting more and more embarrassed when defending Zhang Jinshui's pick-and-roll, Adelman couldn't sit still.

He couldn't be more clear in his heart that if the Rockets enter the final quarter with a double-digit advantage, then this game will be very difficult.

So, he had to call a short timeout, replaced Raheem, replaced Bunch Wells and Mike Bibby, and rearranged the defensive tactics.

On the Rockets' bench, Van Gundy only told Zhang Jinshui and other substitutes one thing:

"In the past 3 minutes, not only did you maintain a 6-point lead, you even beat the Kings by 2 points, which is a very good job.

In the last attack, I don't need you to score, but you must not make mistakes, and you must run out of attack time, so as not to give the opponent a chance to catch up with the score.

As long as we keep that 8-point lead, we're going to play very well in the fourth quarter. "

"Don't worry, coach." Zhang Jinshui nodded, and returned to the court with Uncle Mu and others.

With the whistle of the referee, the game continued.

Zhang Jinshui took the basketball sent by Swift from the sideline and drove the ball to the frontcourt.

He waited in the middle circle for a while, and after seeing the timer on the backboard with only 15 seconds left, he waved to Swift, who immediately ran over to play him a pick-and-roll.

However, Zhang Jinshui was dumbfounded that the defender who was originally beside Swift did not follow.

Zhang Jinshui immediately realized that the Kings figured out his tactics of playing pick-and-roll breakthroughs, and even switched to two-three defenses.

This defensive strategy is simply the nemesis of breakthroughs. Even if he can break through Mike Bibby's defense, there are at least two goalkeepers waiting for him inside.

"I can't play the pick-and-roll. Is it because I suddenly can't play?" The experienced Mike Bibby continued to disturb Zhang Jinshui's mind with words.

Zhang Jinshui's face remained calm, but he smiled in his heart.

If you can't play the pick-and-roll, don't play it. Anyway, the task assigned to him by Coach Van Gundy is to consume all the offensive time.

What's more, the king's switch to two-three defense is equivalent to adding another reasonable excuse for him to use the offensive method he most wants to use.

"Coach, that's the only trick left. Even if the goal doesn't go in, you're too embarrassed to blame me, right?"

Zhang Jinshui waved Swift back to the three-second zone, and then patiently patted the ball to waste time.

12, 11, 10, 9...

The timer above the backboard was beating second by second. When the number became 8, Zhang Jinshui moved.

He pressed the ball to the top of the arc, faced Mike Bibby's defense, first dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and then leaned forward and pretended to break through to the front right.

When Mike Bibby's center of gravity moved to the right, Zhang Jinshui suddenly took a step back, jumped high, and threw the basketball.

What he is casting now is the golden badge [three-point long-range shot: step back sharp shot].

When Zhang Jinshui shot the ball with a step back, the stands in the arco arena were surprisingly quiet, with only a few small voices discussing secretly.

"Why is this Zhang Jinshui shooting a three-pointer at the buzzer again?"

"Facing Mike Bibby's defense, it would be too simple and rude to step back and take a three-pointer? Is this goal difficult to score?"

"Please don't say such things again, what if you get in again?"

"Yes yes yes! Blame me for the crow's mouth."

On the Rockets' bench, Van Gundy's expression was much softer this time.

He has already seen the situation on the field in his eyes. Facing two or three defenses, taking a three-point retreat seems to be one of Zhang Jinshui's few offensive options.

If you don't go in, don't go in, as long as you run out of time.

And beside Van Gundy, McGrady was leaning on the bench and spanking Yao Ming: "Although this shot is reasonable, it's not easy, so you can't score again, right?"

"Yeah, it's really shit luck if you go in again." Yao Ming laughed.

Luther Hyde, who heard the two chatting, remembered the scene when he and Zhang Jinshui used to conduct offensive and defensive transition training.

I can't help but secretly think: Is it really shit luck?Not necessarily.

After throwing the basketball, Zhang Jinshui, like everyone else, watched the ball fly to the basket with wide eyes.

With only a 50.00% hit rate, it is equivalent to tossing a coin. He also wants to see if the ball can be scored.

This time his shot was half a step outside the three-point line, so people didn't have to wait long.

As the basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air, only a "swish" is heard, and the basketball is hollowed into the net.

The coin toss hit!

Zhang Jinshui excitedly raised three fingers of his right hand and swung them vigorously in the air.

82 to 71, the Rockets lead the Kings away by [-] points.

The entire arco arena was completely quiet, as if there were not 1 people sitting in the stands, but [-] sculptures.

They really couldn't believe that a rookie who played his first NBA game today actually made two three-pointers at the buzzer in one game, and his opponent was his home team.

In stark contrast to the audience is a female reporter sitting in the media area of ​​the arco arena.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses but unable to hide her beautiful face, this Chinese girl jumped up excitedly when she saw the basketball go into the net.

But she remembered something, she pouted suddenly, stopped celebrating, and said to herself, "I don't want to celebrate for him."

However, the arrogant expression only lasted for 5 seconds, and she laughed stupidly again, took out her mobile phone, and decided to immediately send the latest developments on the field to the other side of the ocean.

There are still tens of thousands of compatriots eagerly waiting for the progress of this game.
