I'm really strong in basketball

Payton was not in a hurry, stopped the ball at the top of the arc, stabilized the rhythm, and waited for all his teammates to be in place before dealing the card to Liu He.

As soon as Liu He got the ball, O'Neal lifted it up from the basket without waiting for the call.

O'Neill has learned to take the initiative.

He blocks Jim Jackson solidly.

Liu He once again passed Yao Ming and faced Cato.

O'Neal also rushed to the front of the basket.

Cato is one-on-two, hesitating...Liu He didn't give him a chance to react, and threw the ball directly in front of the basket.

O'Neal rose from the ground and dunked alley-oop.

boom!

8: 2.

This is the second alley-oop cooperation between O'Neal and Liu He in this game, and it is also O'Neal's fourth dunk.

O'Neill is crazy!

Beep!

The Rockets were called out and Coach Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu He is taking advantage of Yao Ming's slow pace and keeps pulling Yao Ming for military training.

You can't let Yao Ming guard the pick-and-roll anymore.

Yao Ming himself was a little depressed, he finally remembered what Liu He said when he invited him to dinner.It seems that Liu He is not just talking in plain language.

On the Lakers bench, Magic Johnson said to Phil, "Phil, today's tactical arrangement is very targeted."

Phil just smiled, pretending not to care.

But I thought to myself: The tactics are good, but I have no arrangements.

Thinking about it this way, Liu He's golf quotient is amazing!

If he continued to play like this, not only would he not have to call a timeout, but he would also not have to arrange tactics before the game.

"True" head coach can also win with a dog tied to the position.

Pause back.

The Rockets attack.

Francis tried to break through to no avail, and still missed a strong outside shot.

O'Neal protected the rebound and the Lakers attacked.

Liu He continued to play pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

Liu He keenly noticed that the person following O'Neill became Cato, not Yao Ming.

So after Liu He got rid of Jim Jackson, it became a one-on-one with Cato.

However, Cato's pace is not fast.

Kevin Cato, with a height of 211cm and a weight of 125kg, has a standard body shield.

In fact, he was originally the starting center of the Rockets, but after Yao Ming came, he was squeezed into the position of power forward.

But the position can be changed, but the ability cannot be changed.Cato is a standard center, but you insist on letting him play power forward...

This reminded Liu He that the Rockets' power forward position in the next few years has been unwilling to spend money to find someone who is really capable of helping Yao Ming with dirty and tiring work.

Either Juwan Howard, who only has the ability to "open mid-range shots", or Chuck Hayes, who is only 198cm tall, makes Yao Ming often isolated and helpless inside.

Just like now, the Rockets want Cato to help Yao Ming solve the problem of preventing pick-and-rolls, but Cato is also powerless.

Liu He changed direction and easily passed Cato and faced Yao Ming under the basket.

On the other side, O'Neal has also returned to the basket.

Yao Ming defended the first and defended the second, so he couldn't defend at all.

Liu He tricked Yao Ming with a shot fake, and then passed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal took the ball and made a dunk.

boom!

10: 2.

"Roar!"

O'Neal roared when he landed. This game was really fun. He made 5 of 5 shots so far, and almost every shot is so simple and easy.

O'Neal has never fought such an easy fight in his life.

The Rockets' offense was still fruitless, and they fell into a scoring drought.

Looking back, it was almost the same. Liu He and O'Neal's pick-and-roll tactics, Yao Ming was once again caught in the choice of "O'Neal or Liu He", and could only watch helplessly as the Lakers continued to score.

12: 2.

Just after the start, the Lakers had a double-digit point difference, and the situation was one-sided.

Although the pick-and-roll tactic offered by the Lakers is simple, the Rockets really can't crack it.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy called another timeout.

During the timeout, O'Neill hugged Liu He's neck directly, looking extremely intimate. He was well fed today, even the big shark's appetite was satisfied.

Now if you ask O'Neal if he likes pick-and-roll tactics, O'Neal will definitely answer you: "Fuck off! Which super center have you seen doing blue-collar work? Are you insulting me?"

But if you tell him that the person who is playing pick-and-roll with you is Liu He, O'Neill: "Hey, I like playing pick-and-roll the most."

The game continues.

Rockets offense.

Francis shuts himself out a bit and passes the ball to Mobley.

Mobley missed the first shot under Payton's defense.

The Rockets are really... Offensive, they can't attack; defensive, they can't defend.

It looks like it's going to collapse.

Fortunately, Yao Ming caught O'Neal, grabbed the offensive rebound, and succeeded in the second offensive throw.

Swish!

12: 4.

The Rockets finally healed.

On CCTV, the Chinese commentator shouted excitedly, but still frowning.

The situation of the Rockets is still not optimistic.

Liu He, we are all Chinese, so be gentle!

Lakers offense.

Liu He found that the person defending him had become the "old cat" Cardino Mobley.

This should be the arrangement of coach Jeff Van Gundy, Liu He couldn't figure out Van Gundy's intention for a while.

Simply respond to all changes with the same.

Liu He continued to play pick-and-roll with O'Neal.

O'Neal blocked Mobley firmly.

Liu He took the opportunity to speed up and quickly got rid of Mobley.

At this moment, the Rockets' defensive formation changed.

Cato, who followed O'Neal, did not switch to Liu He, but continued to follow O'Neal.

Jim Jackson from the outside line rushed over and stood in front of Liu He.

delay tactics.

Jackson is about the same size as Liu He, so he won't be passed by Liu He in seconds, and he can delay Liu He.

Taking advantage of this time difference, Mobley can continue to follow Liu He, or go outside to mark Jackson's opponents.

Mobley chose to continue to follow Liu He.

So Jackson went out to find his opponent again.But at this moment, Jackson suddenly turned around and shot his carbine back, and rushed towards Liu He, cooperating with Mobley to force Liu He.

The two cooperated tacitly, and it seemed that they had premeditated, and it was probably Jeff Van Gundy's arrangement.

Liu He was one-on-two and was intercepted just like that.

The Rockets took the opportunity to launch a fast break and Jim Jackson made a layup.

12: 6.

Liu He shook his head helplessly.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy's defensive skills are really good, and he easily handles himself.

But the root cause is that he is too young and his ball-handling skills are not strong enough.

In the final analysis, the strength is not enough.

O'Neill came over and patted Liu He on the shoulder: "Brother, don't think too much, you've already played very well, at least I'm proud of you!"

Liu He smiled.

Passing the Rockets bench, Liu He shouted at Van Gundy: "Mr. Jeff, thank you for the Christmas present you gave me."

Jeff Van Gundy was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, what an interesting rookie.

"You're welcome, rookie!"

But Liu He said loudly: "Thank you! Mr. Jeff, I will give you a gift later as a return gift. Reciprocity is a beautiful tradition in our country."

Facing Liu He's provocation, Jeff Van Gundy just smiled nonchalantly: "Well, I'm looking forward to your gift."

Only then did Liu He run away satisfied.

The Lakers players and the Rockets players looked at Liu He together, speechless for a while, this kid!

The most speechless is Payton.

He was asking himself whether he was right or wrong when he decided to teach Liu He to talk trash.

There is nothing wrong with you spraying your opponent, but why you can always spray from the court to the bench, this problem is not good.

This scene was also captured by the on-site camera and broadcast live on TV in various countries, which aroused the anticipation of all fans and commentators.

TNT studios, the trio has already begun speculation.

Kenny Smith: "I guess the rookie will rain threes on Jeff."

Villain Charles Barkley: "No no no! I hope it's a rain of fists."

Now in the NBA league, Liu He left everyone with two impressions: he can shoot and play.

As for Cole: "I will not guess, because Liu He can always do some incredible things, as long as expectations are enough."

Smith and Barkley were speechless for a while, and Cole was really conquered by Liu He from body to soul.

Get back on the court.

How could coach Jeff Van Gundy tolerate a provocation from a rookie.

In response to Liu He's weak ball control, he directly resorted to double-team tactics.

As long as Liu He gets the ball, the Rockets will double-team.

In this way, Liu He made another mistake, and the Rockets made a defensive counterattack.

12: 8.

The point difference narrowed to 4 points.

Jeff Van Gundy crossed his arms in satisfaction and looked at Liu He on the court.

There were some mocking voices from the Rockets bench.

"Just these two times, you still dare to provoke the coach, you don't know the heights of the heavens and the earth."

"I can't control the ball well, so go back and practice your basic skills."

"I laughed so hard, I thought it was a myth, but it turned out to be just a joke."

……

Liu He didn't care either, but he didn't hold the ball for a while and cooperated with his teammates.

It’s not scary to have problems, just strengthen training and solve problems.

Kobe, Malone, and Payton shot one after another and continued to help O'Neal score points.

The first quarter is over.

28: 16.

O'Neal scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks alone, scoring more than the Rockets alone.

In the second quarter, O'Neal continued to show his invincible posture, cutting melons and vegetables with the cooperation of his teammates.

Halftime is over.

59: 41.

O'Neal scored a terrifying 37 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks in the half.

Yao Ming scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in the half.

This data is actually not bad, but compared with O'Neill, it is too miserable.

In Liu He's view, it's not that O'Neal beat Yao Ming, but that Francis and Mobley suppressed Yao Ming.

These two guys really don't give Yao Ming a chance.Yao Ming can only pick up a few shots when they are not on the court, or score a second offense by grabbing offensive rebounds.

Thinking about it this way, Yao Ming's ability to play this kind of data is actually very good.

Look at their offensive efficiency.

Yao Ming made 5 of 4 shots.

Francis was 9 for 3 and Mobley was 7 for 2.

What a world of difference!

The key is that Jeff Van Gundy was indifferent to this, and he didn't consider letting Francis and Mobley reduce their shots at all, and let Yao Ming, who is more efficient, play more.

Compared with his defensive ability, Van Gundy's offensive tactics can't be said to be very poor, it can only be said to be completely non-existent.

Back in the second half, Jeff Van Gundy continued to show his defensive skills.

At this time, everyone can also see that the Lakers want to help O'Neal score points, although they don't know why.

按照奥尼尔上半场的得分效率，奥尼尔今天很有可能创造新的生涯得分记录，超越他自己在2000年3月6号面对快船队砍下的61分23篮板3助攻的恐怖记录。

This game is called Birthday Ball Gate.

It was O'Neill's birthday that day, and O'Neill wanted a few tickets for his relatives to watch the game live.

However, the Clippers turned down this trivial matter.

O'Neal was furious and scored 61 points that night.

Since then, the Clippers have become a joke.Well, the Clippers have always been a joke, and they don't seem to care.

But Jeff Van Gundy and the Rockets players care, they don't want to be O'Neal's background board.

So as soon as the second half came back, the Rockets shrunk their formation, double-teamed, circled forward, used wheel battles, and even prevented O'Neal from receiving the ball.

The effect was very good. In the past 4 minutes of the third quarter, O'Neal didn't score 1 point.

The Rockets also took the opportunity to narrow the point difference.

64: 50.

The Rockets attacked, and Francis and Mobley seemed to finally realize that they were not in good condition, while Yao Ming was in good condition and began to feed Yao Ming.

Yao Ming hit O'Neal with the back and hit a hook.

Swish!

64: 52.

Lakers offense.

O'Neal at the basket is still watched closely.

Seeing the situation clearly, Liu He suddenly pushed away Jim Jackson who was wrapping his arms around him, and ran faster.

Peyton watched all directions and listened to all directions. He immediately noticed Liu He's action and passed the ball directly.

Liu He caught the basketball, pulled it up and shot.

Swish!

Have it.

67: 52.

The Rockets attack.

Yao Ming beat O'Neal hard again, and hit a fadeaway jumper after turning around continuously.

Swish!

67: 54.

Yao Ming is in really good condition during this period.

His jump shot is also a bug. He is 229cm tall, but he still has a little backward. Who can stop him?

Even O'Neill can only watch helplessly, depending on whether Yao Ming's own hand feels good.

Obviously, Yao Ming played very well tonight.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Lakers attack.

Liu He inserted into the inside line, relied on Malone's body to get rid of Jim Jackson, and sank into the bottom corner.

Kobe's pass was in place immediately, and the ball arrived.

Liu He pulled up and voted.

Swish!

70: 54.

The Rockets attack.

Yao Ming played hard, but still.

70: 56.

Lakers offense.

Liu He continued to run, and shot as soon as he caught the ball, as well.

73: 56.

During this period of time, it completely became a battle between Yao Ming and Liu He.

But Jeff Van Gundy couldn't sit still.

Although Yao Ming has been scoring all the time, the fifth ring is one ring less than the sixth ring, and the 2 points are 3 point less than the 1 points. Seeing the point difference, he rushed to 20 points.

The Rockets' shrinking formation indeed restricted O'Neal, but released Liu He, the "three-point devil".

Now, it's time to choose whether to let the Lakers play 2 points or shoot 3 points.

Jeff Van Gundy is still hesitating.

According to common sense: 3 points are 2 point more than 1 points, but the three-pointer is not as accurate as the middle distance!

Just when Van Gundy was hesitating, Yao Ming scored again to help him breathe a sigh of relief.

73: 58.

Lakers offense.

Jim Jackson desperately followed Liu He this time.

However, Malone used his generous body as a screen, and Liu He passed through the free throw line and ran directly to the top of the arc.

Payton's pass also arrived.

However, the ball was interfered by the Rockets, and the power of the pass was a bit strong.

Liu He ran two more steps before catching the ball.

His position is more than one meter away from the three-point line.

Without hesitation, Liu He aimed directly at the basket and pulled up a jump shot.

This is a super long three-pointer!

The moment he landed, Liu He didn't watch the basketball, but turned to look at the Rockets' bench.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Jeff!"

The voice fell, and there was a "shua" sound behind him.

76: 58.

Jeff Van Gundy opened his mouth.

Damn it, let him pretend.

Then Liu He looked up at the Los Angeles fans behind Van Gundy: "Guys, this is my Christmas present to Mr. Jeff, and it is also a Christmas present to you, do you like it?"

In an instant, the Staples Center exploded.

"like!"

"like!"

"like!"
