Basketball: Dayao Reopened

"so what?"

Yao Ming listened to his words and replied, then received the ball from a high position and shot the middle distance against the "Sugar Man".

"Huh!"

Goal in!

The first goal was hit, and Yao Ming's touch tonight looks very good.

He also squinted towards Kevin Garnett, as if saying: You can't help me if you have someone!

The Timberwolves head coach looked at the situation and signaled Kevin Garnett to quickly change defense with the "Sugar Man". Obviously, the "Sugar Man" can't keep up with Yao Ming's offensive rhythm. Continue to defend. He will only be one tonight. Only "withdrawal chicken".

Tom also made some adjustments to the Rockets' defense, allowing Lagabele, who is better at man-to-man defense, to face the "alien."

This time the "alien" did not dare to go shopping slowly like the old grandfather, and Lagarber's close defense obviously made him very uncomfortable.

He found a chance and gave the ball to Kevin Garnett.

Garnett faced Karl Malone and made a tendency to shoot, and then when Szzibiak passed behind him, he quickly gave the ball to the latter.

Szebiak moved fast enough, and after taking the ball, he shot fast enough, Francis rushed forward, and this guy still steadily scored the ball into the basket.

After hitting a three-pointer, the "handsome guy" threw a wink at the female fans on the sidelines, and the female fans who were hit by wink trembled with laughter.

The Timberwolves lead 5-2.

"Nice!"

Kevin Garnett yelled at Szebiak, but his entire attention was now on Yao Ming.

His mobility is indeed no problem. When Francis had just handed the ball to Yao Ming on the frontcourt, he quickly approached, completely denied Yao Ming a chance to take a shot, and directly fought him physically.

Yao Ming made two breakthrough moves and didn't deceive this guy. After catching a glimpse of Szebiak on the flank, Yao Ming gave up his plan to play Kevin Garnett in singles, and regained the ball. To Francis.

Francis once again faced the "Madman" with the ball. The missed shot just now did not affect the "Spider-Man" offense, but made him more motivated now.

After a big change, and then another bigger change, Francis also played a limit change that he would not try easily.

But as soon as this move is made, as long as it succeeds, the opponent is destined to be unstoppable, even if the guy standing opposite him is called "Madman" Sprewell, it's useless...

"Huh!"

After this drastic change in direction, Francis broke through the "madman" in just one step, and then he successfully hit the ball with an emergency stop jumper.

The stability of this guy's shooting now!

He was able to complete such extreme moves and scored this goal.

Hmm~Don't say it, it smells like that Mamba snake later on!

Yao Ming actually saw a little bit of "black mamba" from Francis's ball. If this was in the previous life, it would have been impossible!

But, think about it, Francis's talent is not bad, if he can be ranked second in the first round of 1999?

His talent, coupled with no more fooling around this year, especially in this off-season, hard training, it is normal to have such progress!

Of course, if Francis knew what Yao Ming was thinking right now, he might be a little angry. I worked so hard, but you were thinking about that man?

Say I'm Houston "Mamba"?

Pooh!

Obviously he is the "Los Angeles Spider-Man"!

Francis also surprised the "madman" now, and looked at him up and down.

This little guy is kind of interesting!

No wonder there is a nickname called "Spiderman"... this physical fitness is really interesting!

But... do you know who was the best guard in the league that year after Michael Jordan retired for the first time?

Follow me!

I let you play sideways with me!

In the next attack, "Madman" also faced Francis. It was worthy of the alliance’s famous "Rapid First Step". Although he was 34 years old, his explosive power did not drop much. After the first step was taken, he was stuck. Body, and then in the confrontation with Francis, put the basket into the frame, and also entered...

This goal was made by Jimmy Butler!

It can be seen that the Timberwolves have entered the state very quickly today.

As soon as they came up, they all opened up.

With so many of them scoring, the Rockets also had some problems on the defensive line: several times, there have been situations where one loses the other.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves also played a 6-point advantage with the multi-point blossom at the beginning!

"This year the Timberwolves have really scored so many points!"

Tom couldn't help but mutter when everyone on the Rockets walked off the court at the end of the first quarter.

He can say that he has paid enough attention to the Timberwolves, but now it seems that the Timberwolves are stronger than he thought, especially in the offensive area... The "Madman" has already scored 9 points, and Szebiak has two. The three-pointer scored 6 points, and the "alien" scored 5 points. Such a strong "flowering" Tom really didn't think about it.

Of course, he can think that the 34-year-old "Madman" would have 9 points in a single quarter...

However, although the "Madman" scored nearly 10 points in a single quarter, Tom did not blame Francis. It was not Francis's job to defend, and from the entire first quarter, Francis's defense was actually fine. You count on him to defend. No matter how good the end is, it is impossible.

Besides, the Timberwolves are in good shape tonight. The "Aliens" scored the first goal, and Szebiak immediately scored the goal. Then it was the turn of the "Madman" in Kevin Garnett. Before the shot, there were already three different guys on the Timberwolves who had scored. Who would have thought...

Thibodeau also frowned. He also didn't expect the Timberwolves to feel so hot tonight at this offensive firepower point!

But he can't use this as an excuse. He is the defensive head coach of the Rockets. He will make the Timberwolves more blooming when he comes up. He must have an inescapable relationship!

Moreover, his heart can't accept that the defense of the team he coaches is so bad.

In fact, he wanted to call a timeout several times in the first quarter, but Tom didn't worry, he didn't worry!

But now, he definitely can't stand it!

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the opponent has 5 guys on the field and 4 of them have scored. Is this playing?

This is "beating" his face!

Anyway, Tom Thibodeau now has some reputation in the coaching circle. He can't be beaten like this!

"Guys, to be honest, I am very dissatisfied with your performance on the defensive end. This is not what I expected you to perform. I hope you can devote yourself to the defensive end seriously. Listen, I hope to see your adjustments. Tonight, Let's defeat the Timberwolves defensively!"

Thibodeau rarely motivated him, and then explained the defensive end layout he expected one by one. At the end of the talk, he glanced at Yao Ming: "It's up to you, Yao!"

Yao Ming occupies a very important position in the entire layout of Xibodu!

Yao Ming nodded: "Don't worry!"

"beep!"

The second quarter of the game soon restarted amidst the whistle of the referees.

The Minnesota fans on the scene gave a huge cheer when the Timberwolves main players returned to the court.

It’s no wonder that they were beaten so badly in the playoffs last season. For the first time this season, the Timberwolves suppressed the Rockets by 6 points after the first quarter, and it was them for the entire first quarter. Suppressing the rhythm of the Rockets' playing, such a scene made them more or less have a feeling of "Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi".

Young "wolf" young at the end!

"Huh!"

The Rockets' main force returned to the court, first became a team with a good acidity, and finally Battier made an overhead basket.

The ball allowed the Rockets to catch up to 4 points.

However, Tom off the court, especially Thibodeau, did not take this ball to heart. What they are more concerned about now is the subsequent performance of the Rockets on the defensive end, especially Thibodeau. When the Timberwolves finished serving the ball in the backcourt, His whole expression is a bit serious, and he still doesn't know how much his adjustment can make the Rockets change, which makes him a little more nervous.

On the Timberwolves side, Cassel dribbled the ball through halftime, and Lagabe forced the past at the first time. From the time he switched to defending Cassel, he has been a close-fitting defense, and the effect is quite remarkable. During this period of time, the "alien" dribble has disappeared, and replaced by a fast dribble in constant confrontation.

As the master, Carlisle only scored 5 points at the end of the first quarter, and can even be divided into more detailed points. After Lagabe's defense, he only scored 3 points, which is inseparable from Lagabe's defensive style.

Good enough defense!

Kassel faced a defender like Lagarber, and he could be regarded as a "nemesis."

It’s just that Lagarber, who has always been defending well, returned to the court this time, and the press was even more fierce than before. He was a lively "bulldog" and a "bulldog" who was already "crazy". dog".

This scared Kassel and hurriedly reviewed himself: Did I just provoke him? No! I didn't do anything that could easily cause misunderstanding!

Well, in fact, it's normal for Cassell to be unable to figure out the reason, because Lagarber's defensive attitude suddenly became more active, which had nothing to do with him.

He is so active because, in his opinion, Thibodeau is dissatisfied with the current defensive state of the Rockets, which is to say about him!

You know, he is based on his defensive ability in this league.

He also made the Rockets' starting lineup because of his defensive ability!

Thibodeau is dissatisfied with the Rockets' defense. Isn't he just saying that he is dissatisfied with his defense?

Then he must be more active and prove his defensive ability!

It's just that, Kassel is a bit bitter...No, I was able to dribble the ball against Lagabel and look for someone to catch the ball before. At this moment, I have to constantly be stunned. The dribble moves to ensure that the ball is not forced to stop by Lagarber.

The Timberwolves' offensive formation has also become a bit chaotic with Carlisle's scurrying.

Szebiak reluctantly received the ball in the chaos, instinctively wanted to shoot, he had already hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, but this time he can catch the ball, Battier has already ran in front of him. Pressing his body firmly against him, he didn't give him any shot space.

The "handsome guy" who couldn't help made a false shooting, and then the descendants rushed straight to the basket.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment Szebiak hasn't developed any abilities other than three-pointers. As soon as he broke into the basket, he was capped by Yao Ming, who was quick to defend.

Karl Malone took the rebound and threw it directly towards the Timberwolves' defense zone, where the "Spiderman" had already begun to move quickly.

Having been in the Rockets' lineup for so long, the "postman" has gradually realized this kind of moment, which is often a great moment for the Rockets to launch a fast break!

However, Sprewell did not mean to give up. Although he had been pulled away by Francis for at least three positions at this time, he still strode towards Francis. Francis listened to the rapid footsteps behind him. He was planning to show off, so he gave up this plan and threw it quickly as soon as he reached the basket.

"Huh!"

Goal in!

However, fast break without dunk means that there is no fast break. When returning to defense, Francis's face is "not full of fun"! There was even some chagrin.

This really has to make people sigh again: This madman is a madman! Can actually scare "Spider-Man" so fast without dunking!

For the Timberwolves, with some embarrassment on his face, Cassel dribbled the ball from the back line to the frontcourt. Just now, Lagabe's defense made him feel embarrassed. After so many years of debut, he made a rookie defend like this. There must be no hold on his face. He took the ball again, thinking about returning one.

Of course, this is his current thinking. After halftime, when Lagarber came in contact with him, he decisively gave up this idea.

No way, he was not a confrontational number one, and now that he is also old, if he is so confrontational, he really is not Lagarbel's opponent.

The ball was thrown to the "madman" by him.

"Madman" faced Francis with the ball. He still relied on the "first step" to pass Francis. This is what he has mixed in this league for so many years, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for him this time. Let Francis lean over! Francis leaned towards him first.

And the one you brought up to me?

Sprewell stared at Francis' defensive decision for a moment, but he also knew what "time is not waiting". He didn't dare to abrupt because Francis forced him up. On the contrary, he was a lot more determined than usual!

Only this time, as soon as he got to the basket, Karl Malone pushed over, holding his hands high, blocking his vision of passing the ball from above to behind him.

This is the experience of a veteran.

But is "Madman" a "Madman", can a simple delay stop him?

joke!

Do you want me to tell you the story of "Jordan's best game after retiring for the first time"?

A fast-moving right side traversed, Sprewell just bluntly "saw" out of a path.

Then, raising the ball in his hand, the "madman" sent it towards the basket.

"Snapped!"

But the moment he left the ball, there was a loud slap, and a guy wearing the Rockets No. 11 and the height of a giant shot out from the side and gave him a solid hat.

In this cap, the ball flew straight beyond the three-point line. Unfortunately, it was the Timberwolves' handsome guy who got the ball, not a Rockets player. Otherwise, it would be another fast break opportunity.

But the crisis of the Timberwolves has not disappeared. Szzibiak is not a guy who can dribble the ball. Under Battier's constant entanglement, he had to give the ball quickly, and it was also entangled by Lagarbel. Kassel's face was drooping in his hands.

Like the "handsome guy", Cassel can only play the ball quickly.

These two guys didn't wait for the Timberwolves to open the offensive formation before passing the ball, which also caused the Timberwolves to have a messy formation now, but the person receiving the ball at this time is still the "sugar man"!

This guy is usually a chaos. At this moment, the entire offensive end of the Timberwolves is messed up, and he doesn't hesitate to take the ball and go to the basket to kill.

He has actually seen Karl Malone and Yao Ming back in place.

But what is it called?

Oh, by the way, begging for wealth and insurance!

See you on this ball to score the "Five Best Goals". If you can't score this ball, um... It's probably also the "Five Best Goals". See you...

"Dang!"

The result was not as good as the "sugar man" thought.

After all, considering Karl Malone and Yao Ming's defense to score the ball due to his ability, it is indeed a bit difficult for him.

The result was not so bad, the ball was not covered.

The arc of his shot is not outrageous.

It just hit the basket and missed it.

But this time, Yao Ming steadily protected the rebounds and did not give the Timberwolves a chance.

"The Timberwolves have not scored for two rounds!"

Seeing the end of the timeout adjustment and the immediate defensive effect of the Rockets, Tom said with satisfaction.

Naturally, this was spoken to Thibodeau.

It's just that, what Xibodu, he is not a guy who can be impressed by such a little achievement. He looks at the court and keeps saying: It is not enough, not enough, it is not enough!

Regarding his expectations of the Rockets gang and his self-confidence in his own ability, only defending the Timberwolves in two rounds is obviously only an "appetizer"!

Well, he has forgotten the nervous thing just now.

The Rockets played a defensive counterattack, and it was still the team's cooperation. Francis gave the ball away. After every Rockets player held the ball for a round, the ball returned to Francis's hands.

Francis then took the ball to kill. After attracting the Timberwolves to shrink the defense, a sudden point was given to Yao Ming, who quickly gave the ball to the outside line, and Lagabere simply hit a three-pointer!

The Timberwolves' focus on the defensive end was obviously affected by the offensive end just now, and there was some confusion. The Rockets didn't have much smooth passes with so many passes, but they easily collapsed the Timberwolves' defensive formation.

The goal was scored, and the Rockets had chased it back, and even surpassed it by one point.

The Timberwolves fans who were quite happy just now when the main force returned, couldn't say a word now, and could only stare at the field in a daze.

Is this "world" changing so fast?

All the Rockets used another successful defense to tell the guys: Where is this? It can be faster!

"Snapped!"

It's Yao Ming again, this time the person who gets the cap is an "alien."

Of course, this ball was also found by Cassell himself. He was not someone who could make a layup, and he hadn't got rid of Lagarber. Under such circumstances, he still made up his mind to rush to the inside. You said Yao Ming Can this not be covered?

Kassel was so captivating that he pretended to be a Venus.

The Rockets successfully defended another goal...

Unknowingly, the Rockets had already scored a wave of 8-0 points**.

"No, you can't fight like this!"

"The Rockets guys are obviously forcing us to fight in!"

This forced Sanders to call a timeout.

Unfortunately, compared to the Rockets, the Timberwolves did not adjust so quickly. A timeout did not change the situation on the court.

The Rockets, already in force, followed the Timberwolves all the way to the end of the second quarter.

49 to 41!

The Rockets lead by 8 points. If you add 6 points behind in the first quarter, that is to say, in the second quarter alone, the Rockets have completed a 14-point reversal.

This directly knocked the Timberwolves' home auditorium silently!

However, in this quarter, Sanders can be regarded as clearly seeing the Rockets' thoughts on both offensive and defensive changes.

Well, Yao Ming took three caps in less than 5 minutes, but as a head coach, he also knows that this must have something to do with him. Let’s look at the outside line of the Rockets and fight hand-to-hand. This is obviously forcing the Timberwolves to break through. , Don't let them shoot!

However, after reading the defensive effect of the Rockets in the second quarter...If Sanders had Yao Ming in the post, he would not hesitate to adopt such a defensive strategy.

This effect is really great!

Huh?

its not right!

I seem to have it!

Kevin Garnett, just talking about the defense ability, does this league have a better inside line than him?

Sanders originally frowned because the Timberwolves continued to miss the offense in the Rockets' defense.

Back in the locker room, what he thought for the first time was also how to open up the situation on the offensive end...

But he thought about it, and suddenly reacted, the other party can guard us so much, why can't we guard them so!

He immediately stopped struggling with offensive changes, but spent more energy on adjusting the defensive formation-forcing the Rockets to break through the outside line and allowing Kevin Garnett to fill the defense.

To put it bluntly, how the Rockets guard against us, how we guard against them!

Anyway, we also have good inside defenders!

Not to mention, at the beginning of the third quarter, Francis really didn't react at the first time. When he plunged into the Timberwolves defense zone, he discovered that Kevin Garnett had made up his defense for the first time. , The Timberwolves have also begun to play their defensive routines.

He quickly dribbled the ball back to the outside line.

Learn from us!

Huh~

Tom and Thibodeau also noticed. They both looked at each other and smiled, and then Tom gestured to Francis.

"Spider-Man" nodded, he didn't continue his offense, he gave the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming faces Kevin Garnett with the ball...

Uh~

For a while, the Timberwolves’ defenses are dead!

Including Kevin Garnett, no one knows what to do next?

Frozen in place.

Originally, their defensive strategy was to force the opponent to break through, and then Kevin Garnett would make up for it.

But now, the guy in charge of the defense, his opponent has the ball...how to defend?

Waiting online, very anxious!

The Timberwolves’ defensive line stopped for a few seconds because Yao Ming held the ball, but Yao Ming didn’t hesitate at all. After Kevin Garnett began to exert his force, he turned directly to face the frame, and at the same time raised his right foot, the whole body fell back.

After turning around, "Golden Rooster Independent" shot!

With a "swish", the ball is in!

Kevin Garnett can be said to be a famous "long-armed monster" in this league, but when facing Yao Ming's "Golden Rooster Independence", he can't affect Yao Ming's shooting sight at all.

Although Yao Ming turned around too quickly and Kevin Garnett didn't react to it in the first time, but it also shows the hegemony of "Golden Rooster Independence"!

What a magical skill!

As Yao Ming watched the ball fall into the frame, he also whispered secretly in his heart.

For "Golden Rooster Independence", he now likes it more and more.

This trick really belongs to the kind of trick that the more proficient people can feel the charm!

So... can it be cracked like this?

It's that simple?

Sanders just followed Thibodeau to learn the same way and put out the same defensive strategy, but unexpectedly, the first round came up, let the other party teach "being".

Then, let's try it too!

Yao Ming's defensive object is... "Sugar Man"!

Uh... forget it, don't try it!

Yao Ming just scored the goal and has already opened the point difference to 11 points. For the Timberwolves, this point difference is already half-footed on the empty cliff. Therefore, Sanders really dare not let it." Sugar man" try.

The Timberwolves players on the court gave the ball to Kevin Garnett.

Taking the ball at this time proves that the "Wolf King" is still the "Wolf King", even if the "Madman" and the "Alien" come, this team is still named "Garnett"!

"Huh!"

Kevin Garnett also scored with his signature "Iron-Blooded Jump Shot", proving that he is worthy of being trusted by his teammates.

Scored 2 points.

The Timberwolves breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

Of course, in less than 13 seconds, they regained it with a sigh of relief. Yao Ming once again faced Kevin Garnett and made a "Golden Rooster Independent" jumper!

"This guy…"

There was some exclamation on Sanders’ face and a whisper in his mouth. He knew that this league never lacks talented big men, but really, after coaching Kevin Garnett, he rarely because The other big men were amazed in their hearts, but at this moment, he must admit that he was conquered by Yao Ming's performance!

He could see that in this game until he "yan shot" Kevin Garnett these two times, Yao Ming did more to support his teammates and help them find the touch. But now, it's the ball. When the team needs someone to stand up and keep scoring to force the opponent to adjust the defensive strategy, he can also stand up immediately and use his personal ability to score goals without any adjustment at all.

Such phenomenal dominance...

Is this guy really just a second grader?

He was really surprised.

Of course, the same sentence. If he knew that Yao Ming was a tenth grader, he would not be surprised immediately. On the contrary, Yao Ming's performance like this would only feel that it should be a matter of course.

What happened to such a talented big man doing this?

Look at him, there is support, there is a personal offense...really, tut tut!

Without knowing it, Sanders had forgotten the tactics he wanted to deal with. Instead, he became the number one fan of Yao Ming, constantly "licking" at Yao Ming in his heart.

Yao Ming discussed with Karl Malone at this time: "Don't give him another singles, you will force him to let him go inside!"

It can be seen from Kevin Garnett's goal just now that the "Wolf King" feels good today. At this time, if you want to break the deadlock, it is impossible for him to score on the offensive end quickly.

Still have to continue to put pressure on the defensive end!

No, Yao Ming signaled Karl Malone to push Kevin Garnett inside.

"Can you eat it?"

In fact, Karl Malone just had this idea, but at this moment Yao Ming continues to exert strength on the offensive end, which is already very physical. If he needs to be laborious on the defensive end, this physical energy consumption may be faster.

This is why Karl Malone didn't mention this matter.

He wants to deal with Kevin Garnett alone, but Kevin Garnett's goal just now shows that he can't deal with the "Wolf King" alone.

Hey, there is no way. Although the "postman" is stable, the "postman" will also get old, and it is normal that Kevin Garnett, who is in his prime, cannot be solved by himself.

"Don't worry!" Yao Ming waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Karl Malone nodded. Then, in contact with Kevin Garnett, he began to exert his strength. Kevin Garnett originally planned to fight back, but the first time he came into contact with Karl Malone, he was affected by this guy's strange power. scared.

Isn't that special... Is it to play ball or fight?

So hard?

It hurts~

Kevin Garnett, who was forced to retreat by Karl Malone’s strange power, saw his feet almost stepping on the three-point line. Knowing that he could no longer retreat, he also turned his heart horizontally and suddenly leaned towards Karl Malone’s right side. A big step.

Karl Malone's strength was used on the card position, and Kevin Garnett's big step across the body really left him behind.

Um?

Kevin Garnett didn't expect to break through Karl Malone so easily. He hesitated for a while, turned his head to see Karl Malone chasing him, and also hurried towards the inside.

"Dang!"

Unfortunately, under Yao Ming's interference, the ball failed to hit.

no!

Must enter!

This ball is critical!

But Kevin Garnett is very aware of the consequences of not scoring at this time. Seeing the ball bounced out of the box, his heart suddenly filled with unwillingness, and then he did not know where the power came out, which made him two quickly. Take off for the second time and grab the offensive rebound.

"Snapped!"

Kevin Garnett grabbed the ball and slapped it hard with both hands. The ball made a huge slap.

He used this to vent his passion for grabbing this ball!

Then Kevin Garnett turned his non-axial foot to attack the basket from the other side, but Karl Malone who came from behind let him dispel this idea and could only turn around again and attack from the original direction.

With his heart crossed, Kevin Garnett’s legs gathered strength and jumped up again. He wanted to jump and dunk on the spot.

Otherwise, no matter from which angle he throws the ball, the ball will be blocked. Based on the reaction speed of Karl Malone and Yao Ming, the time the ball flies to the basket is more than enough for them.

"Snapped!"

However, Kevin Garnett is also a bit naive, slow layups or hook shots, not slow dunks?

Kevin Garnett, who lifted the ball over his head with both hands, jumped up. Before he pressed his hand down, Yao Ming directly pressed him down face to face.

Kevin Garnett was detained and sat down on the ground embarrassed.

There is no way, he jumped up first, Yao Ming used his strength later, and he didn't have the absolute oppressive power, instead he was borrowed from Yao Ming.

Speaking of which, if Karl Malone came to hit the ball, I'm afraid it would not be sitting down, but going straight to the ground.

Oh, by the way, this guy also has excellent defense capabilities!

Have a few blocks already?

It seems that there are already...6!

Can you imagine? The first time Sanders was covered by Kevin Garnett, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was the first to think of it. It was not that Kevin Garnett could not get hurt. The first thing he thought of was that I just forgot. Licking Yao's defense...

Sure enough, the head coach didn't have a good thing!

The Rockets seized this opportunity and completed the fast break again. With this goal, the Rockets' lead has already come to 13 points!

Sanders had to call a timeout.

"Hoh!"

Yao Ming also roared at this time.

Then he punched himself in the chest.

It's been a long time since I played "Wolf King" roaring!

It feels really good to play this abruptly.

Tonight he is also cool!
