Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Although it is 7 points behind.

But Yao Ming is not very anxious to be honest.

He knows exactly what the Rockets are behind by 7 points-the Spurs have already begun to update!

From the beginning of this game, Tony Parker had the ball on the offensive end, and Yao Ming discovered this.

The Spurs have begun to enter the "three carriages" era!

Of course, it's not so much an entry as it is a groping, because judging from the cooperation of the Spurs in the previous rounds, the "troika" system is obviously very immature.

The entire offense of the Spurs still needs Tim Duncan to drive. Although Tony Parker holds the ball, his choice of offense with the ball is waiting for Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll, fake screens, and sinking the bottom line to contain the defensive formation. To complete it.

Not very mature.

However, even if it is not very mature, it is enough to play the effect. Tony Parker, who has entered the third season of the NBA, has obviously matured a lot. With the help of Tim Duncan, there is no big problem in supporting the offensive end. .

The Rockets' defense just now was based on the Spurs' style of play last year, which is equivalent to saying that the Spurs took advantage of the gap. It's normal to be unstoppable.

After all, although the "troika" system is still immature, it later won three championship trophies, which proved the power of this system.

If you don’t do a good job of targeting, can you not be hit?

Fortunately, Tom and Thibodeau had clearly noticed the problem and switched Lagabele to defend Tony Parker.

There is no doubt that this is a good defensive change.

Yao Ming believes that Tony Parker is going to suffer.

In other words, Yao Ming's original impression of Lagabe is more because of his "lock-throat" to Kobe. That famous scene let him know that this is a guy who is based on the defense in the league.

It's not bad to be able to create difficulties for Kobe.

He therefore called the latter and invited him to join the Rockets.

And this half-season contact made him discover that this guy is indeed very good, at least his defensive ability, because his "locking throat" is underestimated by the outside world...

In fact, what Yao Ming didn't know was that Lagabere also made the best defensive team.

Of course, he didn't really care about these things.

It's just because I have dealt with and know the general situation.

Lagabere once again proved his defensive ability.

His individual entanglement ability, his awareness of pick-and-roll prevention are better than Francis, and not only a little bit.

Looking at Tony Parker coming back from a timeout, it was obvious that he struggled a bit more offensively.

The Rockets therefore caught up with some points at the end of the first quarter.

Judging from these rounds, the Spurs' "three carriages" system is indeed still very immature.

"Nice!"

26 to 28.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were only 2 points behind.

The Rockets players clapped each other.

Although Francis had a smile on his face.

But the laugh was actually a little reluctant.

Lagabere successfully limited Tony Parker, and the Rockets managed to catch up with the points. Doesn't this prove that the Rockets fell behind so many points just now because of him?

You say, can he be happy?

The Spurs changed their tactics in the second quarter. The tactical core of the offensive end returned to Tim Duncan. Last season he won the regular season MVP and the finals MVP "Stone Buddha" once again showed his great power. Ability, relying on his 11-point performance in a single quarter, the Spurs were stupefied to keep a 2-point lead until the end of the half...

"Mighty Tim!"

His performance made the commentators who explain the game amazed.

"I feel there is still a gap between Yao and him!"

The focus of this game between the Spurs and the Rockets is of course on Yao Ming and Tim Duncan. In addition to seeing who can lead the team to victory, there is actually another discussion about this game-Yao Ming is still away from the regular season MVP. How far is it!

This question is a topic derived from Bill Walton's support of Yao Ming last time, and more people in the "round table" were optimistic about Yao Ming's election as the regular season MVP.

Because Tim Duncan has won two regular season MVPs in a row, and he has not played a more dominant performance in the new season until now-well, they have been dominated like this, how can they play a more dominant performance? ?

This makes most of the media have acquiesced that Tim Duncan will not be able to continue to win the regular season MVP trophy, because David Stern does not allow the current NBA to have such a great presence!

In other words, this year's regular season MVP must be a "newcomer"!

And the first person to raise this topic was no one else. The famous "Yao Hei" Bill Simmons, who hadn't been active on Yao Ming for a long time, was the first to raise this comparison: "Since we all say that this guy is the norm this year Match MVP, then let us see how far this guy is from the real MVP Tim Duncan, the game will be the most intuitive presentation!"

This guy is still a bit authoritative on ESPN, which has caused a lot of heat.

Even the two commentators are discussing this topic.

And judging from the situation after the first half, they obviously think that Yao Ming is still a little bit behind the regular season MVP.

However, if Yao Ming’s 14 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in the first half are compared with Tim Duncan’s 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, they are right. There is indeed a gap. !

However, the game is not only the first half, but also the second half!

Moreover, these guys obviously didn't notice that Yao Ming prefers to exert his power in the second half this season.

The first half was even more coping with the team!

No way, there are so many helpers, he really doesn't need to play like a single core from the beginning of the game...

At the end of the first month of this season, Yao Ming felt that way. Maybe he could win the championship this season! For this reason, he soon formally determined his style of play this season-he will be "stealth" in the front and "harvest" the game in the last quarter like Nowitzki in the 11th playoffs.

Of course, Nowitzki was there at that time, and standing out in the fourth quarter was the best choice.

But for the 24-year-old Yao Ming, he doesn't need to stand up so late, he can stand up in the second half!

However, it may not be clear to the outside world that Yao Ming has adjusted his style of play this season, because Yao Ming will start to exert his strength in the first half from time to time, but Tom is very clear.

When arranging tactics in the locker room, the first sentence was: "Yao, it's up to you on the offensive end of the second half!"

In the last half month, no matter what tactical adjustments Tom made on the offensive end in the first half, as long as halftime returns to the locker room, he will always have only one sentence to adjust the offensive tactics in the second half: Yao, The offensive end of the second half is up to you!

This represents his trust in Yao Ming!

It also represents his familiarity with Yao Ming's adjustment of offensive play!

The rest of the Rockets did not have any accidents. Like Tom, they all knew that Yao Ming would stand up on the offensive end and end the game at the beginning of the second half...

The Spurs' offensive tactics in the second half were adjusted back to the "troika" system that Tony Parker frequently held the ball.

However, the Rockets have not changed this defensive adjustment since they used Lagabe to target Tony Parker in the first quarter. After familiarizing themselves in the first half, Lagabe has become more and more experienced in dealing with Tony Parker. NS.

The Spurs offense began to languish.

During this time, the Rockets began to score continuously under Yao Ming's effort. When the third quarter hit 6 minutes and 45 seconds, the Rockets unknowingly established a 5-point advantage!

This is still the point difference advantage that the Rockets played when Manu Ginobili suddenly exploded.

It is truly terrifying that this future "vulture" erupts.

Otherwise, the Rockets' lead would have gone by 10 points.

But at this moment, Tim Duncan stood up again and used his unpretentious mid-range jumper to help the Spurs reduce the point difference to 3 points again!

The Spurs offensive system once again returned to the "Stone Buddha" single-core system.

But this time, Yao Ming also responded to "Stone Buddha"'s attack with a mid-range jumper in the next round.

The point difference came to 5 points again.

"Stone Buddha" changed the low post this time to ask for the ball. He singled Karl Malone under the basket. A very experienced turning feint tricked the "Postman" away, and then he hooked the ball with one hand into the basket.

Karl Malone shook his head slightly. At his peak, Tim Duncan had just entered the league, but at that time, he already felt that Tim Duncan was very strong.

This man who had reached the full level before leaving the Novice Village has left a deep impression on him since the first year!

And now, at the end of his career, he faced this man at the peak. He felt a little helpless towards this guy. He felt that he wanted to guard this guy. It was too difficult!

The inside guy who made him feel this way before was Shaq O'Neal...

"Huh!"

Yao Ming once again hit the ball with a solid mid-range shot.

Tim Duncan started to work **** the offensive end, which makes the Spurs now defending Yao Ming is Nath, the Sylvia is really slow in the high post!

It's also really unable to keep up with Yao Ming's movements...

"Biao on!"

"Yao also completed the counterattack!"

"These two guys are on top!"

Yao Ming scored this time, causing a lot of exclamation in the audience.

Tim Duncan scored twice and Yao Ming responded to the latter's goal twice. There is no doubt that this is what they want to see the most!

Yes, that's it, Yao!

Keep responding to this guy!

Then play a better performance than him!

This is the thinking of all Rockets fans at the moment. Of course they also read the news and know what the outside world is concerned about this game!

Therefore, at such a moment, they hope to see Yao Ming stand up, confront Tim Duncan, and even suppress Tim Duncan's performance on the offensive end!

This... doesn't it mean that Yao Ming's ability is stronger than Tim Duncan?

"Huh!"

"Bah!"

"Dang!"

"Huh!"

"Dang!"

However, even the most loyal Rockets fans have to admit that one thing is... Tim Duncan is indeed strong enough!

No, the two have been facing each other from the end of the third quarter to more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, and Tim Duncan did not see any decline!

This guy can win two regular season MVPs in a row. It's really not without reason!

Of course, even so, the Rockets fans are not frustrated. Although they did not see Yao Ming suppressing Tim Duncan's firepower on the offensive end, the current evenly divided performance is enough to surprise them!

You know, Tim Duncan is so strong and Yao Ming can be evenly matched with him. Doesn't it mean that Yao Ming is also so strong?

Can be as strong as the two regular season MVPs!

What more bikes!

Including the two commentators who said that Yao Ming and the regular season MVP are still a little behind during the intermission, their faces are also full of surprises at this time. They did not expect that Yao Ming could actually be so against Tim Duncan. Long!

"beep!"

In the confrontation between the two men, Budenholzer called a timeout.

"Yao, good job, keep it up!"

"Then Carl, take a break, Dikembe, you go!"

"Guys, hold on for the last few minutes, the other side will not work soon!"

Tom quickly arranged during this timeout. In fact, he had to make a lot of arrangements, but he saw that Tim Duncan was already very tired on the court, so he never called a timeout.

So far, the Rockets want to win the condition is very simple, that is, when Tim Duncan is dragged down, when they can win!

This kind of time is called a timeout, which means that Tim Duncan has time to rest, so he naturally can't call.

This also allowed Budenholzer to use the last timeout.

As far as Tom’s urine is concerned, Budenholzer knows very well that this will be Tim Duncan’s last rest time, so he didn’t make any arrangements. He just watched Tim Duncan sit on the bench in peace and take the towel. Wipe off your sweat and quickly drink Gatorade to replenish your physical fitness.

All he can do is hold a tactical board and fan Tim Duncan... that's all.

It's just a one-minute rest time, no matter how raced against each other, it's only 60 seconds.

After the game restarted, Tim Duncan, who had just slowed down, quickly lost his energy under the consumption of the new Mutombo.

And this time, the "Demon Blade" also failed to "nerve", and the Spurs' offensive momentum came to an abrupt end.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Bah!"

But Tim Duncan was tired, but Yao Ming continued to output. In the face of Nath, he continued to send the ball to the basket.

This caused huge cheers to be heard at the scene, and after another, there was no stopping at all, and even in the end, the cheers became unified...

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

In these shouts, Yao Ming continued to score. Opposite him, in the Spurs camp, Tim Duncan watched breathlessly. This scene made the two commentators in the commentary stare at each other.

They all saw the incredible and shocked in each other's eyes...

Originally, they thought that just being able to confront Tim Duncan was already Yao Ming's limit, but they didn't expect that this guy could not only confront Biao, but he could continue to beat Biao after Tim Duncan could not move!

Just looking at the last few minutes of this game, this game has become a stage for Yao Ming alone!

How can this not surprise them?

"This guy really has the ability to become the MVP of the regular season!" At the end of halftime, the commentator who said Yao Ming was close to the MVP of the regular season changed his words.

The other commentator still had no objections this time.

Just kidding, Tim Duncan can't beat this guy, why does he object?

"beep--"

In the end, with the sound of "MVP" after another, in this game between the Rockets and the Spurs, Yao Ming and the Rockets had the last laugh, 98 to 90, and the Rockets finally won by 8 points!

Tim Duncan scored 39 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.

However, it is still unable to lead the team to victory.

However, he took the initiative to hug Yao Ming after the game.

"Man, good job!"

It may be because of the early success, or it may be a high-achieving student who graduated from psychology, Tim Duncan is always able to accept failure, no matter what the process is, the failure caused by it.

Of course, the more important reason is because he knows that he still has a long way to go.

Otherwise, even the "Stone Buddha" would slam the floor because they didn't grab a key rebound.

Because at that time he knew that after missing that key rebound, he would have no chance!

"Man, you are really good enough, almost overturned us by one person!"

Yao Ming looked at Tim Duncan with a "this guy is too cruel" expression on his face. After the game, he made some corrections to his previous judgment.

This team is not experimenting with the new formation of the "troika".

Budenholzer did not realize that Tim Duncan, Manu and Tony Parker can create a team system that can maintain competitiveness for 10 years!

He was completely in order to allow Tim Duncan to save his energy. He just arranged Tony Parker's possession on the offensive end and singles with Manu Ginobili, only to use Tony Parker's personal ability to get rid of the opponent. The league has at least half of the ball. The number position is now he can't easily get rid of, and at this time, Budenholzer had to arrange Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll.

It was this arrangement that made Yao Ming think that the Spurs had developed a "three carriage system", and he also looked at Budenholzergao a bit for this.

Because even Vicki won the championship in 2005 before discovering that the "troika" could start a new era for the Spurs!

The Spurs are now playing completely single-core play with Tim Duncan as the core!

Can Yao Ming entangle with the Rockets to the end with his own strength?

If he swaps his position with Tim Duncan, he can be sure that he can’t do that. The Rockets’ “meat shield” also has outside defense forces. Even if the three quarters are over, he will have to be defeated. The stretcher is carried out!

Physical fitness is his eternal problem, and Yao Ming can admit it generously...Even if he didn't gain weight as hard as he did before the reopening, he wouldn't be able to become a "physical monster" in the NBA!

Even when he was twenty-six or seventeen years old behind him, when his true physical fitness peaked, he couldn't.

This is also the reason why he chose to "form a gang". Like Nowitzki in 11 years, he needs help.

But this is not a silly thing!

There are many ways to lead a team to win the championship. It is impossible for anyone to say that "Tim Duncan's victory in 2003 is greater than that of Nowitzki in 11"!

After the game, more experts began to agree with what Bill Walton said, thinking that "this season's regular season MVP belongs to Yao!"

The reason is the same as that of the two commentators, because Yao Ming had the upper hand in the confrontation with Tim Duncan, and they were shocked!

In fact, Tim Duncan was defeated at the last moment because of physical stamina. He persisted for a whole game, but he couldn't hold it at the last moment.

If you look at the statistics, he is also better than Yao Ming in this game!

He scored 39 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, which is much more dazzling than Yao Ming's 31 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks.

But there is no way, at the last moment when Yao Ming was still scoring, he stopped the momentum of scoring, that is, he lost! This is how the outside experts judge.

Without objective factors, Biao is nothing but Biao!

Yao Ming watched the increasing voice of "Yao Ming is the MVP of the regular season" from the outside world. He is also very satisfied. Next, he has only one thing to do, and try to add Kevin to the regular season. Nate and his Timberwolves swept away...

"Yao, do you think I need to practice my defense?" Francis suddenly asked Yao Ming in the locker room before the team training on the second day after the game with the Spurs.

Yao Ming asked, "What are you doing defensively? Is your defense poor?"

Francis is very serious: "I have dragged the team back on the defensive end in two consecutive games!"

"Oh, that's really bad, hahahaha!"

Yao Ming joked.

When did this guy's face become so thin?

Yao Ming murmured in his heart. In his impression, Francis shouldn't be a person who would struggle with such things?

Like most stars, he believes that as long as he can hit the opponents on the offensive end, it is enough!

And now, except for individual downturn nights, or encounters with defenders like Kobe, Francis can basically beat the opponents. Looking at his current threatening power on the offensive end, Yao Ming even wants to give him a “weakening”. The title of "Pinion Wade" is really a very good outside attacker!

It’s just that Yao Ming overlooked one point. The original Francis didn’t care because he was not the only one who could not defensively in the Rockets lineup at the time. There were other players who could not defensively. Francis would naturally not have any pressure.

But now, in the entire Rockets starting lineup, his defensive strength is the weakest!

He often drags his feet away, and has to change defenses with the new brother.

As the core of the team, Francis therefore had the idea of ​​losing face.

For example, if a guy who doesn’t like learning is put in Hengshui Middle School, no matter how he doesn’t like learning, I’m afraid he will sit there quietly, at least not affecting others, and even occasionally reflect on it and produce "I am It’s not time to learn.” But now Francis seems to be a student who doesn’t like to learn who has entered Hengshui Middle School.

He began to reflect on whether his defense should be strengthened.

Yao Ming said: "This is not what you need to be responsible for, and you are not dragging back on the offensive end in two consecutive games, are you?"

Francis tilted his head and thought about it, as if that was the truth.

Originally, he planned to ask Tom, but now, he doesn't plan to ask anymore. He first thinks about what Yao Ming has said before speaking.

The Rockets ushered in "back-to-back" next!

The Rockets have not won a winning streak in the "back-to-back" schedule this season, and will lose at least one game.

Because after the "back-to-back", he will face the Lakers, so for this "back-to-back", Tom's goal is not high, the old rules, just can win the next game!

"Back to back" two games, one of which is still at the Rockets' home court, it is said that the difficulty is not high.

The Rockets...finally did it!

1 win and 1 loss in 2 games.

It's just that the whole process is a bit "tragic".

It's not how hard these two games are.

A Bucks team or a Sonics team is not a strong team.

But in these two games, Karl Malone and Mutombo were injured successively.

Fortunately, both people yelled out when they were injured!

One thing we all know.

On the court, if the injury is screamed out, it is usually not a serious injury. The most feared is an injury without a sound and a look of pain, which shows that the pain is so painful that it can't be screamed.

In addition, there is also the kind of sudden injury without any contact, most of which are the most serious injuries, such as a handsome guy who walks well, suddenly staggers to the ground, and results in a torn Achilles tendon...

When Karl Malone was fighting for rebounds, his finger stuck to the basketball. At that time, it was heartache. The final test result was that the **** was twisted. Although there was no fracture, he had to rest for at least half a month to three weeks.

In fact, he was injured this time, but Yao Ming was relieved.

You know, the original Karl Malone suffered an injury that was directly reimbursed for half the season, and after his comeback, it is obvious that his state has fallen a lot.

This is why he did not hesitate to retire after the Lakers won the championship.

The state can't be maintained...

Now, it’s just that the **** is sprained, and the big injury turns into a minor injury. Very good, very nice!

Moreover, it's mid-season, and every team will have some injuries more or less, which is normal.

Mutombo also suffered a hand injury. He injured his wrist. It was caused in a confrontation with his opponent. He needed a longer rest period, which would take about 5 weeks.

However, this is not a problem, as long as it is not a season reimbursement, everything is easy to say!

It’s just that, in this game with the Lakers, it’s hard for the Rockets to win...

The "Meat Shield Group" immediately left only Kevin Cato and Battelle, and Yao Ming didn't think that these two people alone could have much influence on O'Neal.

Fortunately, almost all the goals Yao Ming wanted to achieve in January have been achieved, and it doesn't matter if this game is lost.

Judging from the whole arrangement of Tom before the game, for this game with the Lakers, not only Yao Ming, but also his head coach does not matter.

Well, that's right, it's the same sentence. Losing with injuries is not a loss, let alone this is the regular season.

It's even more irrelevant!

Moreover, during the "Christmas War", we already won once...

For the team with a higher degree of desire for victory in this game, it should be the Lakers!

"I said, I hope I will be the core of the offense in this game tomorrow. Trust me, I can win the game!"

"What kind of plans the Lakers had when they won three consecutive championships, and now they still play like that. That has been proven!"

"Then you should think about it, the last game we lost because of whom!"

"It was just one game, and we have won many games! In the past so many years!"

"I only know that we lost the last game!"

"Man, this is the arrangement of the entire team, you have to know, the team does not have me!"

"I know, but there is me in the word, fxxk!"

The Lakers really want to win.

Kobe and O'Neal even had a quarrel because of this.

You know, they haven't spoken for almost a few months!

But for this game, they quarreled.

And when the other Lakers players were in the locker room, they quarreled directly.

It was so noisy that everyone looked at each other.

O'Neal has a reason to win this game.

The league just announced the results of the third stage of the 2004 All-Star voting. In addition to the previous two rounds, he has lost nearly 800,000 votes to Yao Ming!

That is to say, if he still wants to win Yao Ming, then he will have at least 800,000 more votes than Yao Ming in the fourth round. This is almost impossible!

Therefore, he has actually given up this year's All-Star start.

"China Power" is too fierce!

He can't compete with Yao Ming in this respect!

He confessed his fate!

But in terms of popularity, he can lose, but in the game, after he has lost once in the "Christmas War", he must win!

And to win beautifully!

In this way, he can at least comfort himself: it's okay, this is just a popular vote. In the game, that guy is not your opponent at all.

This is the only comfort he can give himself now!

Kobe, however, strongly urged him to be the core of the offensive end of the game against the Rockets before this game. Isn't that a joke?

"Man, I'm discussing this with you very seriously!" He thought Kobe was deliberate.

The tone of "big shark" therefore became more serious and serious than ever before.

"Me too!" But Kobe did not flinch!

O'Neill looked at Kobe, clearly, and couldn't agree, he nodded slightly: "OK!"

Just wait and see!

After talking ~www.novelmt.com~ he slammed the door and went out.

Kobe sorted his clothes, and then walked out slowly.

He didn't slam the door, but everyone knows his sullen face, and he is in a bad mood.

The other Lakers players looked at each other. If Horry is still there, he will say something to ease the atmosphere: "Relax, guys, this is normal!"

Now that he is gone, the role of the Lakers is gone.

No, there are...

Gary Payton was also watching when Kobe was arguing with O'Neal, but his face was the same as everyone else, and there was a little more worry: please, God! The relationship between these two guys must be maintained until the end of this season!

Don't delay my victory!

As long as the "OK" combination doesn't break out completely, no matter how much conflict they have before, the "Gloves" believe that they can win the championship. There is no way, the court dominance of this combination is really amazing!
