NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Tang Yu was left by the reporters on the scene for a small interview. The question was very simple, which was the elevator door tactics.

"Coach Tang, can you tell me whether you invented this tactic today? What is its name?"

"It can't be said that I invented this tactic. I summarized it after reading a lot of pick-and-roll tactics. I call this tactic the elevator door. It is like an elevator. It closes naturally after people enter!"

"I think this tactic can also derive many tactics. Can you tell me in detail?"

"Haha! You can't say too much, otherwise there will be no secrets!"

Tang Yu did not admit that he invented the tactics, and it was not originally. Although he invented it in this world, he also plagiarized it.

Tang Yu returned to the locker room. The players were recovering their physical strength. Stevens was conscientiously explaining to the players the shortcomings of the team in the first two quarters.

Stevens glanced at Tang Yu after seeing Tang Yu come in, and Tang Yu signaled him to continue.

Stevens nodded and said, "In the second half, we will continue to use the elevator door tactics to attack the opponent's outside line. Yao Ming and Serge will rush for the frontcourt rebounds! I ask not to miss any frontcourt rebounds!"

The Lakers have strong rebounding ability. Whether it is the two inside players or Odom and Artest, both have strong rebounding ability.

A large part of the reason why the Mavericks lost to the Lakers is that they were robbed of too many backcourt rebounds.

Now that the Rockets have the height advantage of Yao Ming, they will naturally put some pressure on the Lakers' inside line. Yao Ming has been fishing for a season, and now it is time to really show the ability of the first center.

After the half-time break, the two sides continued to fight. The Rockets and the Lakers were a little slow to warm up in the third quarter. In the past two minutes, the two teams only scored 6 points in total.

At 9 minutes and 36 seconds, the Lakers made the first adjustment, and Odom replaced the poor Bynum.

The 'left-handed magician' immediately showed his organizational ability when he came on the court. After breaking through Ibaka, he passed to Fisher on the outside line, and the latter made a direct three-pointer.

66-57, the Lakers once again narrowed the gap to single digits.

Tang Yu called a timeout directly, and at this time he had to curb the opponent's momentum.

He and Stevens came to the venue to discuss countermeasures.

"Brad, replace Serge and let Vince come on the court."

"I know this, boss, but will Yao Ming continue to stay on the court?" Stevens asked.

Tang Yu also thought about this problem. Yao Ming stayed on the court to match up with Gasol, and there was no problem in the matchup, and Yao Ming's ability to protect rebounds was also very strong.

The only disadvantage is that Yao Ming can't keep up with the team's counterattack speed, but Tang Yu also considered that as the nominal boss of the team, he had to take into account the feelings of the players, so it was not appropriate to replace Yao Ming.

"Yao Ming will continue to stay on the court!"

Tang Yu made the final decision.

Stevens turned to convey Tang Yu's intention, and the latter took out his little notebook and wrote down something.

'Yao Ming developed three-pointers during the offseason! ’

This is imminent, and it is as important as losing weight.

After Carter came on the court, the Rockets also changed to a lineup of one big and four small players, and their outside ability was also excellent.

Curry continued to play without the ball. Tang Yu knew that Curry's ball-holding attack was also at a historical level, but when he and Harden were on the court together, the latter was more likely to hold the ball to organize the offense.

There are two reasons for this. One is that it can save Curry's physical energy on the offensive end, making his playing easier.

Second, Harden's changes in holding the ball are more reasonable, which can bring more options to the team.

Curry's effect in leading the team alone with the ball is also very good, but there is only one ball, and there must always be trade-offs.

The score difference came to 9 points. The Rockets held the ball to organize the offense. After coming to the frontcourt, Curry bypassed Carter's pick-and-roll at 45 degrees on the left and ran to the bottom corner. Carter came to the 45-degree position.

Curry slipped to the baseline again and prepared to copy the elevator door tactics. Odom was already online waiting.

Harden immediately read the Lakers' defense. It must be said that Zen Master's on-the-spot reaction is particularly fast, and he can control Curry's exclusive tactics more effectively.

But the Rockets are not just Curry. When Kobe defended Harden, he looked at Curry, and Harden moved. After the ball came to his left hand, he lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the Lakers' inside line.

Kobe's defense is so strong. The superstar who is both offensive and defensive immediately stuck to Harden, but the latter's right hand immediately raised up, leaving Kobe helpless.

In two steps, Kobe was pressed behind him. Facing Gasol's backup defense, Harden used the European step stunt and threw the ball into the basket.

"The master of making cakes is online! James is beautifully dressed for this ball!" Bobby Jackson praised in the commentary booth.

Dayao easily dunked the cake without any defense.

Give Harden a Dayao without injury, and assist every game.The attack was soft.

"James showed his super talent in controlling the court, which is also due to the discovery ability of coach Tang Yu. The thousand-mile horse met a good horse!"

"Clyde is right. Coach Tang Yu is the best in the entire league in discovering the potential of young players. This is also his magic!"

After the attack was scored, Tang Yu suddenly said to Carter who ran past him: "Double-team Kobe in this round."

Tang Yu saw Kobe's eyes. Kobe will definitely play one-on-one to regain the ground just now.

Kobe's eyes were sharp. After he dribbled the ball across half court, he asked everyone to play one-on-one with Battier.

Carter suddenly rushed to Kobe to double-team him, which made Kobe stunned and could only change tactics to pass the ball.

The Rockets' defense rotated quickly. Except for Dayao, other players quickly filled in the position. The Lakers' pass was also very fast. After three passes and two guides, it was given to Artest.

Artest had some space on the outside line, and he shot a three-pointer before Curry helped defend, but unfortunately the three-pointer missed.

Yao Ming blocked the rebound position of Gasol, and there was also Odom. Harden tried his best to squeeze the opponent behind him, and Battier protected the defensive rebound.

A successful defense, this on-the-spot tactical change made Kobe shake his head.

Curry quickly advanced with the ball, and the Rockets played a transition offense. Since the big men were not there, the Lakers' defensive players were afraid of Curry's outside strength and defended Curry very tightly.

Curry quickly broke through Fisher and rushed to the paint area. Artest was ready at the basket, and the former did not force Artest who had elbowed him.

A small floater within one step of the free throw easily scored!

The Rockets scored continuously and came to the first official timeout in the third quarter.

The pressure was given to the Lakers again. After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Fisher with Farmar, and the Rockets replaced Curry and Yao Ming with Yi Lian and Beverly.

After the two teams entered the rotation lineup, they attacked and defended each other. The Rockets focused on the offensive and defensive transition offense, while the Lakers sought stable scoring in the positional battle.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Rockets' five-small lineup played well, and Alian always floated on the outside, which made Gasol very uncomfortable.

The Lakers were frequently broken through by Harden in the positional battle, and Harden was able to make beautiful breakthroughs, and the Rockets got a lot of open three-point opportunities.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets opened up the score again at the Dynasty Center, and the difference between the two teams reached 19 points at 89-70.

The on-the-spot response of the two coaches was undoubtedly better than Tang Yu!
