Basketball: Dayao Reopened

The second half of the game started soon.

The Lakers attacked first, and the ball was still given to Kobe. His efficiency was good in the first half. According to the rules of "dual core" tactics, he could continue to attack.

Battier still focuses on close defense.

In fact, Shane Battier's intimate entanglement skills are good, at least Lagabe's level, but it can't reach the level of Leonard. Of course, this is also normal, just Leonard's arm span and big palm, the average person's body. It is really difficult for the entanglement threat to reach his level.

If Battier can move a little bit, in fact, his defensive quality can be better.

But unfortunately, his character led to his clean defense.

This also resulted in him being a little bit away from the "Best Defensive Player Award".

In his entanglement, Kobe used a sudden front change to smoothly distance him, and then leaned on the explosive force to rush directly from Battier's right side, and the basket changed hands to score the ball!

Kobe, he's in again...

The difference was reduced to 4 points.

The Rockets counterattacked, scored 10 points in the first quarter, 7 points in the second quarter, and 17 points in the first half. Francis, who thought he was going to create a big scene tonight, took the ball to the frontcourt. He still used The rules, rushing to the basket, only this time, while he rushed to the basket, the Lakers' wing and the fourth position completed the defense in the first time. Francis, who was intercepted, quickly turned his head and dribbled the ball back. Go outside.

To say that his patience is indeed better than before, if this is two seasons ago, this ball is estimated that he will force a shot!

In other words, this is the change of a player staying in a strong team. The discipline and tactics of a strong team will make the player's shots more purposeful.

As far as Francis is concerned, if he is in the Spurs from the beginning, it is not a problem to become an enhanced Tony Parker.

In other words, after Yao Ming returned from reopening, he has been nurtured for a year!

Tom looked at Francis, who was stopped by the ball, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Thibodeau. The latter also looked the same, but they were not surprised. The Lakers had a "three consecutive championships". The team, the background of the championship is here, so that even Francis used the rules and can't see it.

But Bill Walton was a little surprised: "It seems that the Lakers coaching staff reacted very quickly this time!"

The Lakers coaching staff, headed by Phil Jackson, has never been a team with good on-the-spot adaptability. Fans of the "Zen Master" nicknamed "give players the greatest freedom", but these words can't cover up the Lakers coach at this time. The fact that the team’s ability to respond is weak.

This is also the biggest reason why Phil Jackson was criticized as "good luck".

However, this guy does have a bit of "fate", Michael Jordan, "Shark" O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, these three players who can be ranked in the top 5 in modern history for the impact on the court at their peak have all been coached by him. This is no luck. Who's up!

Bill Walton was also surprised by how quickly the Lakers adjusted this time.

The reason why Tom is not surprised is that Francis uses the rules with a little attention, in fact, you can detect that even if Yao Ming's pick-and-roll is used as a screen, halftime is enough.

It can only be said that Tom knows the rules, and Bill Walton knows the "Zen Master" better.

In fact, Bill Walton's surprise was completely fine. Until O'Neal complained, Phil Jackson was still wondering how bad O'Neal's defense quality was tonight!

Francis reorganized the offense, but this time he didn't wait for his teammates to move again according to the tactics. If he did so, the remaining offensive time would be too late. He directly gave the ball to Yao Ming.

This is why Tom does not regret that Francis was discovered by the Lakers by using the rules. The game has come to the third quarter and the "Yao Ming Time" has arrived!

With this season coming to the playoffs, Tom has already liked Yao Ming’s “inaction” in the first half, and he stepped up in the second half to establish a winning game. He also gave this tactic a name, called "Yao Ming Time". ".

However, he is the only one who knows the name of this tactic for the time being, but he believes that one day, everyone will know that the Rockets have a tactic called "Yao Ming Time" in the third quarter!

Because he believes in Yao Ming, he will eventually play an impressive third quarter time in a future game!

While the second spirit of Tom was burning, Yao Ming, who received a pass from Francis, easily faced Medvedenko's small hook and scored the ball.

The young man has defended Yao Ming's second game, but he has not adapted to Yao Ming's offense, but has become increasingly uncomfortable.

In the rounds he defended against Yao Ming, Yao Ming has used mid-range shots, used footsteps, used three-pointers, and made shots at the basket. This time he used a hook. He has no idea that Yao Ming will face him next time. What kind of moves will be used to attack.

Without knowing his heart, his defensive pressure will naturally increase.

On the Lakers side, O'Neal looked at Yao Ming for a goal, instinctively wanted the ball and responded, but when Gary Payton continued to give the ball to Kobe, he also reacted. He does not have the right to attack at any time. Now, the Lakers are playing a "dual core" tactic. He has to wait for Kobe's condition to decline a bit before he can open his hands for the ball. Before that, he has to obediently give Kobe the space for singles.

O'Neillton was a little more depressed, although he had promised that Phil Jackson had anticipated the consequences, but he still felt depressed.

Think about it, as far as his ability is, he can change to any other team, where is it necessary to be angry!

But now, in the Lakers, you have to look at other people's faces to get a ball.

Sure enough, either let him be the boss, or he was willing to be the second child, this "double boss" gameplay is really not suitable for a guy like him.

After O’Neill agreed to Phil Jackson’s proposal before, he also carefully considered the feasibility of this routine, and even thought that if this tactic is indeed feasible, he can make do with Kobe. He has no doubt feelings for Kobe. .

But now, he has completely denied this idea. He has made up his mind. This summer, either he will leave or Kobe will leave. Anyway, he must be a big and small king!

O'Neal was very angry, but Kobe's condition is still very good today, and his hand has been very stable. He has not been able to take this shot right, and he can only restrain the Rockets' defense.

During this period of time, he only got 2 shots in total, all hits.

At other times, he is helping Kobe contain the Rockets' defense and give him offensive space.

Watching Kobe confront Yao Ming, and then listening to the cheers for Kobe on the scene, he is even more depressed!

Is this still my team...

"The Lakers are a bit interesting now!"

Tom looked at Kobe, who had been attacking on the court, and his expression was a little more inexplicable.

Thibodeau gave him a puzzled look, and didn't understand what he meant by what he suddenly said.

Tom explained: "If you have a big shark in your team, would you let Kobe dominate the offense?"

"Perhaps in the future, but certainly not now...I understand!" Thibodeau made it through at one point. "It seems that Kobe's quarrel with Shaq is not a smoke bomb, but Phil Jackson has reached some agreement with them... I said Well, how did the two men suddenly cooperate!"

Although the process is not completely correct, it does not prevent Thibodeau from coming up with a correct answer: "This should be the embodiment of the agreement between Phil and them? Kobe leads the offense!"

"Well, it should be, it's Shaq O'Neal's turn to dominate the offense just without knowing what kind of circumstances..."

If he knew what the situation would be Shaq O’Neal’s turn to lead the offense, Tom would try his best to avoid such a situation!

Now Kobe is leading the offense for Tom, which is what he would like to see more.

After all, Kobe's main attack will not allow the Lakers to win the Rockets. This has been reflected in the previous two games.

Although Shaq O’Neal is helping to contain it, it’s essentially the same as putting nuclear weapons away and using small missiles to blow up the Rockets. This is putting the cart before the horse.

Kobe may be able to break the Rockets' flank, but he can't beat the Rockets. Now the Rockets are still leading by 7 points.

So, just fight like that, anyway, Tom watched Shane Battier being ravaged by Kobe, and he didn't even have any thoughts of change.

More than 4 minutes into the third quarter, the Rockets still lead by 6 points proved that there is no problem with his idea.

It's just that he hasn't changed, Kobe himself is struggling on the offensive end.

Not surprisingly, it is normal for a person to be abrupt and cast again. It is normal for a person to struggle for so long.

This broke O'Neal's music, so he hurriedly gestured to Phil Jackson, that kid feels bad, and it's time to hand over the ball!

Phil Jackson had already felt O'Neal's impatience, but he had already reached an agreement with Kobe, and he could only ignore it. At this moment, O'Neal caught the opportunity. In order to appease O'Neal, he immediately signaled to Kobe, but got into the horns. Kobe couldn't see his gesture at all, and in desperation, Phil Jackson could only call a timeout.

"Next, the offense should be given to Shaq!"

Phil Jackson said this while looking at Kobe, he was observing Kobe, and he was also reminding Kobe.

Kobe was stubborn, but he also reacted right now and nodded slightly, expressing no objection.

But his eyes were full of unwillingness.

It's no wonder that he is at the moment when his mentality is the most explosive, and he is holding back his energy to prove himself and let him hand over the ball at this time. Can you say he can be reconciled?

It was also at this time that Kobe, like O'Neal just now, also felt the limitations of the "two boss" tactics on him.

However, he had agreed before, and O'Neal also held him in check for a while, and now he should be held in check. If he repents, he really can't justify it.

Forget it, check it, and when the fat guy can't play the effect, the ball will have to go to him again!

Kobe tried to calm his mind down.

As for O'Neal, who got the ball, his appearance was obviously a lot more lively when he played. No matter who it is, you can see this sentence on his face: Master is about to start acting!

It was just that his smile only lasted until he was on the court. After the Rockets players stopped on the court, his smile stopped abruptly, and he almost came out "Cao" directly.

Not only him, but the Lakers fans in the audience were also a little bit stunned, and then a big boo rang at this moment.

Bill Walton looked at the defensive position of the Rockets after they came on the court, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that the Rockets are not unfavorable for this game..."

He thought for a while: "No, I don't need to prepare gifts for Shaq!"

On the field, Yao Ming and Karl Malone collided reasonably on both sides of the zone, Shane Battier and Lagabere stood on both sides of the three-point line, and Francis stood near the free throw line... This is a typical "2- 1-2" joint defense!

Yes, after the Rockets came back on the field, they directly used zone defense tactics!

In 2001, the alliance officially introduced joint defense tactics.

The basic joint defense tactics can be roughly "1-3-1", "2-2-1", "2-1-2"... The Rockets are now in the "2-1-2" formation, this formation The main purpose of the tactics is to limit breakthroughs and limit the ball inside...

This is why O'Neal's expression will freeze, the fans will boo, and Bill Walton will be emotional.

The Rockets made it clear that they didn't want O'Neal to take the ball!

Kobe is probably the happiest person on the Lakers to see this situation.

He knows very well that this means that the ball has to return to his hand.

He really wants to shout at the Rockets guys, especially Tom: Good job!

The ups and downs of life are really exciting...

Okay, very good, I can continue to prove myself!

However, he didn't ask for the ball with a grin. Instead, he watched Gary Payton try to feed O'Neal a few times. After seeing that he couldn't feed, he just gave up. Kobe then ran to the receiving position to receive the ball.

Gary Payton showed a helpless expression towards O'Neal after finishing the ball, he really tried his best, but the ball really couldn't get in.

O'Neill curled his lips, said nothing, and resisted the urge to move his **** to Tom.

In other words, the "2-1-2" zone defense tactics were originally the trump card tactics to prevent the inside line from catching the ball. In addition, the Rockets have a "meat shield" and Yao Ming, a fast-paced defender, let alone Gary Payton. Even Jason Kidd, in such a situation, it is difficult to get the ball. Give it to O'Neill.

The Lakers were forced to continue to play with Kobe as the tactical core on the offensive end.

In the two minutes when O'Neal wanted to go back on the court, he only won one outing and hadn't scored. At other times, he could only continue to contain Kobe.

O'Neill's face was drooped because of this, but he was wronged to death by "Shark Shark"!

Kobe continued to shoot happily, but a timeout did not restore his state much, but because the timeout disrupted his rhythm, his shot came out of the box for the first shot.

Fortunately, this timeout also caused some ups and downs in the Rockets' offense. They also failed to score a few goals before the end of the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets continued to lead 77 to 70 by 7 points.

Although did not open more scores, but from the tactical level, the Rockets achieved their tactical goals.

So while waiting for the end, Tom deliberately stood on the sidelines to greet the Rockets players who had left the field.

Under normal circumstances, he only does this when the team gets a big lead.

And now the Rockets are only leading by 7 points, he is obviously not for this reason.

He was naturally happy because of the effectiveness of the Rockets' defense tactics.

The Rockets haven't practiced too many zone defense tactics this season.

Although the alliance had already introduced zone defense tactics in 2001, it is still the case that the alliance's acceptance of new things is very slow, including the attitude towards zone defense.

Tom decided to use zone defense in this game after studying last season's playoff game between the Spurs and the Lakers.

Prior to this, the Rockets did not spend a lot of time practicing zone defense.

But I didn't expect it... The Rockets used this trick to achieve such a good effect!

Do you think he can be upset?

Of course, there is no reason why the Rockets can use the zone defense tactics so well. Although the others practiced less zone defense, Yao Ming did a lot! Especially when playing national games, knowing that practicing joint defense tactics is what he has to do!

And he is the core of the Rockets' defensive tactics. He is the driving force. In addition, the zone defense tactics themselves are not too complicated tactics, and the Rockets lineup costs, limiting O'Neal, so that he is not so easy to take. The ball is quite simple.

After all, it is impossible for him to go to the high post and shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Even O'Neal must admit that he in the basket is the most threatening!

At the end of the third quarter, the audience continued to boo.

Lakers fans really hate zone defense tactics.

After all, this tactic has indeed weakened O'Neal's dominance in the basket to a certain extent.

Just like this, O'Neal obviously got stuck at the basket, but he just couldn't get the ball. Is this an effect that other defensive tactics can play?

Everyone knows that the league has introduced zone defense tactics, saying that it is to adapt to FIBA's rules so that the NBA will not derail from FIBA, but everyone knows that this tactic is to limit O'Neal's dominance in the penalty area.

As soon as the news came out, the Los Angeles media strongly protested.

Now that this defensive routine is really effective, Los Angeles fans naturally hate other teams using this routine even more!

But they hate it, and the Rockets must use this routine.

Who makes joint defense so effective?

O'Neal continued to struggle to catch the ball.

"Fxxk!"

Once again watching Kobe take his own shot, shoot the ball, and then Yao Ming grabbed the rebound in front of him, O'Neal cursed in a low voice.

Back in defense, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He had just returned to his restricted area and had not waited for him to stand firm. Karl Malone entangled at this time and confronted him in various ways. He tried to avoid Karl Malone's entanglement, but who was Karl Malone? A veteran who has been playing in this league for 18 years, he is too experienced, you can avoid it if you want to hide!

Obviously O'Neal did not defend Yao Ming this round, but he was very tired this round!

And this is also his normal state in this game-at this time, he did not retain sufficient physical energy because of the lack of offense with the ball. Although he did not touch the ball a few times, the Rockets’ “meat shield” is Not idle at all, all kinds of pounced at him, depleting his stamina bit by bit.

This is also the reason O'Neill cursed softly.

He is not just depressed because he can't get the ball on the offensive end, he is also depressed because all his stamina is wasted in an off-ball match.

Moreover, Francis chased him in the first half, which already made him very depressed!

Tonight, he was depressed and his mother opened the door to Depressed, depressed home!

Yao Ming looked at him like this, and wanted to ask: "Do you love this set of operations?"

Staring at Shaq O'Neal for a "three-second defensive" breakthrough; zone defense did not allow him to take the ball, and the "meat shield group" was consumed in turns. This is the package the Rockets prepared for the "big sharks" in this game.

Seriously, "Big Shark" O'Neal can get this treatment.

If this is for someone else, Yao Ming doesn’t worry about it at all. In his opinion, a "meat shield group" is enough to kill the opponent, and "big shark" O'Neill has to be outside the "meat shield group". Use all the methods and rules you can use!

The result was naturally satisfactory to Yao Ming.

This triple insurance can be regarded as locking up the ferocious "big shark"!

Without him, Kobe is still wearing the No. 8 jersey.

The Rockets are not afraid at all. Even if this guy can go crazy, the Rockets have a way to deal with it.

What's more, this guy didn't feel very good in the fourth quarter. In the previous confrontation with Battier, although he got a bargain, in the confrontation with Battier, he almost ravaged his opponent, but Battier. The other aspects are not outstanding, but the endurance is very outstanding. Kobe almost arranged the offensive end of the Lakers again today and scored in the fourth quarter. His physical energy consumption is greater than that of Shane Battier. It is also because of him. With a lot of physical consumption, Battier's restrictions on Kobe from the beginning of the fourth quarter are more effective than before!

Of course, it must be said that this is also related to the Rockets' use of zone defense tactics. Now the crowded inside of the Rockets has reached the level that even Kobe dare not easily go inside.

Battier doesn't need to worry about his breakthrough, he only needs to defend his shots. This defensive pressure is naturally greatly reduced.

The point difference was extended to double digits by the Rockets when the score reached 7 minutes 54 seconds of the fourth quarter. The Rockets had already led by 10 points!

"Give the ball, give the ball, give the ball!"

O'Neal saw that the point difference was widened again, and finally couldn't help shouting. He didn't want to just watch the team lose the game. In fact, he didn't need to shout at all. Phil Jackson just passed by Gary Payton. At that time, he had already whispered an order to the latter: "Wait a moment, you rush in by yourself, even if you are handing it, give me the ball to Shaq!"

Phil Jackson was about to force the ball into Shaq O'Neal's hands.

No way, at the moment, the only person in the Lakers who can break the game is only one person, and that is "Big Shark" O'Neal!

To say that this "glove" is indeed a fight.

You know, the person who came to defend him was Lagabeel.

From the strength of his defense of Kobe before, you can see that he has a set of defenses for the ball-handling. The explosive power of the "gloves" is almost gone at this age. It is really not a simple thing for him to break through Lagabel!

But Phil Jackson gave the order to die, so that he desperately sent the ball to O'Neal without telling him what to do. What can he do? I can only do my best!

At this moment, he really felt that Phil Jackson was a cjb!

As long as there is a result, no process, this is so typical of "killing and burying"!

However, his "gloves" are indeed not covered. It is worthy of being the guy who caused big trouble to the "God of Basketball" in the finals. Although Lagarbéel tried to stop him, he still handed the ball in the end. In the hands of O'Neill.

After giving the ball, looking at the clear fingerprints on the back of his hand, he couldn't help but want to cry again. I was the one who came to "hold the thigh". When did the "hold thigh" have to be so desperate...

The most important thing is that if the Lakers win the championship in the end, the outside world will still not evaluate him highly. He is just a "thigh-holding" pendant.

He turned his head and glanced at Karl Malone again. This guy went to the Rockets under the name "Veteran Teach", and later became popular in the league with the "Meat Shield". If the Rockets win the championship, what would he do? He is one of the heroes. No one would say that he was "holding his thigh", but what about it? Before him, the Rockets had already entered the Western Conference Finals, and he was just a "thigh hug"!

But these are all "holding thighs", so why is the reputation gap so big?

Hey~

"Gloves" now feels like a lemon, a bit sour.

"Bah!"

But after less than 3 seconds, he was no longer sour.

"Big Shark" is not a lost animal in the whole league. When the basket gets the ball, he will directly start the jump, regardless of whether he still has a "postman" hanging on his body. The ball was forced into the basket.

The huge crack of the basket blasted over Karl Malone’s head. He was stunned, and it took him a long time to react. It seemed that I had been buckled?

I go!

Fortunately, I didn't go to the Rockets!

"Gloves" patted his chest.

I cao...

Yao Ming watched by the side, and couldn't help but let out a foul language in his heart.

Sure enough, you can't let this guy take the ball!

This lethality is too fierce!

Tom and Thibodeau also glanced at each other the first time O'Neill finished the buckle, and their eyes were helpless.

You said, how can such a guy not be targeted?

The most important thing is that he has already targeted it thoroughly, but as long as he is not careful, this guy can still complete such a famous scene!

"beep!"

The referee also blew the whistle the first time O'Neal completed the buckle. O'Neal took off too quickly. Karl Malone didn't react at all and didn't take off. This is a blocking foul.

O'Neal has another free throw opportunity.

If you don’t make a move, it’s just "2 plus 1"!

"Big Shark"!

Really are……

Well-deserved reputation!

"Hoh!"

O'Neal, who had completed this attack, was also very excited. A roar made the audience who had been cheering for a long time louder.

And O’Neal, it seems that this is a bit not addictive. For the first time in the series with the Rockets, he took a "dominant step". This is a celebration that belongs to him alone, although it is a little funny after he is fat now. But at this time, it is more domineering!

No matter how excited he is!

This ball is definitely on the top list of his career, but it is certainly not the most exciting.

But the problem is that he was too depressed in this game. He couldn't catch the ball. He had to help Kobe contain him in the rounds he should play. The Rockets' "Meat Shield" is still consuming him all the time. If he gives a score to the experience of this game, it must be negative, and only 0 points can not fully reflect his depression.

At this moment, finally there is an opportunity, and of course he has to vent it.

Anyway, the game has to wait for him to finish the free throw before it can continue.

The cheers on the scene were actually bigger than usual. The Lakers fans had to admit that although Kobe is already very good now, the one who can stir their nerves most must be O'Neal. With this goal, they immediately felt Not "sleepy" anymore!

And there is no worry at all.

With O'Neal here, they believe that there is still more to play in this game!

"Dang!"

However, after O'Neal celebrated, he didn't let the Rockets down during his "traditional performance" time. After aiming for a long time, the free throw shot out.

Karl Malone protected the rebound.

His mentality did not collapse.

As an insider, he must be prepared to be psychologically cut off by O'Neal. Karl Malone has long been aware of this, so his mood is still very calm.

Um……

I'm not angry at all!

It's just that my elbow is a little itchy, so I just rubbed this "big shark"!

Karl Malone increased the range of "Glare fight" with O'Neill.

While the two of them were fighting, the Rockets encountered some obstacles on the offensive end. This period has been Yao Ming's singles time, so Francis's task is mainly to give the ball to Yao Ming.

But at the beginning of this round, the Lakers suddenly used Gusu Murong's knack for "returning to the other way". They also began to target Yao Ming and not let Yao Ming catch the ball.

If this was two years ago, or before Yao Ming reopened, Yao Ming might really not catch the ball.

But now Yao Ming has reopened for two years, without gaining weight, and has some other experience, including some tactics that no one in the league knows at this time.

Because ~www.novelmt.com~ wants him not to catch the ball, it may be a bit difficult!

Low, I don't want it!

Yao Ming left the low post, and O'Neal obviously didn't plan to follow.

You see, this one is thrown away!

However, the Lakers have changed their tactics and immediately arranged for the players on the wing to double-team.

Then I don't want to be high!

Upon seeing this, Yao Ming continued to walk outside.

Once the three-point line, Medvedenko’s movement speed immediately slowed down. Yao Ming called the screen at this time, and then he immediately made another reverse run, easily throwing Medvedenko away, and then Francis gave the ball in time. Yao Ming stood outside the 45-degree three-point line.

The latter faced Devin George, a winger who was defending by the Lakers, and made a smooth three-pointer.

"Huh!"

Goal in!
