Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Chapter 22: Rockets problem

   The Pacers were beaten by the Rockets and called a timeout. The audience at the scene was also silenced. It was obvious that Thomas was in a bad mood.

   "Listen, no matter what your grievances are with each other, let me put these things aside first. We should do something practical. Guys, winning this game is more important than anything!"

   Thomas' anger is much more serious than O'Neal. The Pacers, even O'Neal and Tinsley, no longer have extra thoughts, and put all their minds into the next Thomas' tactical explanation.

   Thomas changed again: "Listen, don't take care of the newcomer in the fifth position, and don't care about other positions, give me a hard hit in the fourth position, first hit this guy and talk about other things!"

According to the records of the Pacers’ assistant coaches, the second quarter only lasted more than 5 minutes, but Kevin Cato had been on the court for almost 13 minutes. The guy had a rest for more than 2 minutes in the first quarter, and the second quarter. Just a few minutes after the start, Tom was replaced by Tom.

   The use of this time may not be a big deal for an outside player, but for an inside player, it is obviously overloaded.

   Thomas doesn't know why Tom keeps him on the court, but it must be a good idea to hit him first now.

   Everyone on the Pacers didn't have any opinion after listening to it, even Artest, who had a few roots, knew that it would be better to listen to Thomas' arrangement at this time.

Thomas’s change quickly took effect. Under constant targeting, Kevin Cato’s physical fitness began to have problems. Tom had to replace him, but either Maurice Taylor or Kenny Thomas could be substituted for the power forward position. , Can not well complete the important task of defending O'Neal in the low post for Kevin Cato. The former is too light and the latter is too short, only 2.01 meters tall.

   The quality of assisting defense always depends on whether the interference effect given by the first defender is sufficient. If the impact given by the first defender is large enough, then the assisting defender can even completely push down the offensive players.

   Just like the block that Yao Ming just blocked O'Neill frontally.

   But if the interference effect is not much, the defender may not be able to help defend in place, the offensive player has already scored the ball.

   As the first line of defense against O'Neal, they can't affect O'Neal well. Yao Ming's follow-up defense effect is naturally not as good as before.

   The Rockets' 4th and 5th positions are so meaningless.

   But Yao Ming's ability to defend O'Neal by himself is not much better than the two of them.

   It turns out that the weakness lies here!

   Thomas also saw that the Rockets have the problem of insufficient depth of configuration of the inside players, which made him firmer on the Rockets' tactics at the fourth position.

   The Rockets gradually fell into a passive state.

In the second half, as Kevin Cato's physical fitness further decayed, the Rockets had no power to fight back at all. O'Neal attacked the city. The Pacers won 98 to 90 at their home court and won the final victory steadily. .

O'Neal is the Pacers’ stats leader in this game. He scored 23 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. After Yao Ming and Kevin Cato’s defensive formation was destroyed by Thomas, the Rockets’ insiders came to him. Said it is the same as my own back garden.

   It’s just the best stats in the game. After the Rockets were overwhelmed by the inside, he was still not happy at the end of the game, because Yao Ming also got 20 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists at the end of the game.

  Although Yao Ming can't defend him, he also can't defend the high-ranking Yao Ming alone.

   Yao Ming did what he said before the game and got the "20 plus 10" data on his head. In addition, this guy’s trash talk was much sharper than him, and he was speechless, so that although he won, he couldn’t feel happy. When he was aggrieved on the sidelines for an interview, his voice It screamed bluntly, and those who didn't know thought they had lost!

Artest scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals in this game. It is a very comprehensive data. Moreover, this data alone cannot fully reflect his role. His biggest role is to move Mobb. In the past few games, Mobley had a lot of data to catch up with the league’s top two position. After this game, he only had 14 points and 4 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. Artest was strong. The body makes him very uncomfortable.

At the end of the game, Artest ran again to greet Yao Ming: "Man, your appearance today is amazing. Looking forward to our next meeting, I hope you can beat Jermaine by then. One meal!"

Yao Ming blasted O'Neal on the offensive end today, and gave O'Neal a head cap on the defensive end. There are not many inside players who can put such pressure on O'Neal on both offensive and defensive ends. Yao Ming really made him overjoyed today. He wanted to play the Rockets every day, so that O'Neal was blown up every day, and he restricted the opponent's outside core points every day. It is not clear who is the Pacers boss?

   Francis is the Rockets’ leading scorer. He scored 27 points in this game. He had the last laugh in the fight against Tinsley.

   However, after the game, it became the subject of many reporters vying for interviews. Yao Ming became the most popular narrator in the major studios to explain the game.

No way, although the Rockets lost today, Yao Ming's performance is undoubtedly the best of the two teams. His pass is not looking at people, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, his footsteps, and his ability to help defend... There are so many highlights for him in this game.

The most important thing is that he really got the "20 plus 10" data against O'Neal-O'Neal, as the league's offensive and defensive ability, has reached the first-class inside player, it is not easy to play such a performance in front of him. matter!

   However, when reporters asked him how he felt when he played such a brilliant performance against O'Neal, his answer made all reporters dumbfounded.

   He only said four words: "We can finally return to Houston!"

   After two consecutive away games, the Rockets will return to their home court in the next game and no longer have to travel to various cities, which makes Yao Ming feel a little relaxed.

   At the same time, his answer was intended to calm down the beef between him and O'Neal. There was nothing serious about it, so don't make any more trouble.

It's a pity that O'Neal, who was being interviewed in the other room, didn't seem to have the intention to reveal this. Facing the media camera, he bluntly said: "The NBA is never a game that can decide whether you win or lose. Next time, maybe you won't. I think he is so good!"

   This beam is closed.

  —Mr. General Manager, where is my Dikembe?

   The Rockets returned to Indiana Airport on the bus, and Tom texted Dawson.

   Losing to the Pacers in this game is not a big deal. The latter is not a weak team. With the Rockets' current strength, it is normal to lose or lose to the strong team.

What’s worse than losing this game is that the problems with the Rockets’ lineup were exposed, which made Tom’s heart a bit more urgent. This urgency also made him give him the first time the game and the interview are over. Dawson went to the text message.
