Basketball: Dayao Reopened

　　 "Man, this is the training plan I arranged for you. Let's take a look."

Thibodeau gave Yao Ming the training schedule he made, and while Yao Ming watched it, he said: "Because you have never practiced three-pointers before, if you want to achieve results in a short time, I suggest you focus on practicing. Just one point."

　　 The top of the arc, the bottom corners on both sides, and the 45-degree angles on both sides. These are the training points that Thibodeau arranged for him.

The NBA's three-point line is not a standard semicircle. The distance from the three-point line on both sides of the bottom corner to the basket is only 6.7 meters, which is about 55 cm closer than the furthest top of the arc. It can be considered a long two points in practice. Easier.

　　 This is why many big men choose to sink the bottom three-pointers.

　　 Of course, this is just one of the reasons why big three-pointers shoot from the bottom corner-big three-pointers sinking to the bottom is also a very important tactical choice between shots and containment.

　　 has the same tactical significance as the bottom corner, as well as the top three-pointer.

　　 However, there are still limitations in this era. Thibodeau does not recommend the top of the arc and the 45-degree angle from a strategic point of view. He recommends these positions only because these three points are easier to hit.

　　 The top of the arc and the 45-degree angle are relatively metaphysical positions. In terms of distance, they are obviously farther than the bottom corner, but they are a hot spot for many shooters, especially big shooters.

Sibodu’s ideas coincided with Yao Ming. In order to be effective in a short period of time, Yao Ming thought that he would practice a few points first and then slowly improve. He immediately nodded: "OK, then start tomorrow. Practice these points first!"

　　 On December 1, the Rockets ushered in their first game in December.

　　 At home, they are facing the formidable Pistons.

Speaking of the beginning of December, the schedule is not very friendly for the Rockets. With Francis at least 5 games to return, they will have to play a game with the Pistons at home, and then the new season will be ushered in. After playing back-to-back, they still have to be a guest in New Orleans. The away challenge is currently ranked fourth in the East. The Hornets have already played 9 consecutive home games... Regardless of the schedule or the strength of the opponents, It can be said that it is full.

　　 So Tom specially pulled the Rockets to mobilize before the game.

　　 This was unusual in the past.

　　 It can be seen how much Tom hopes the Rockets will have a good start in the first game in December.

　　 It's a pity that tonight they met the Pistons who are about to be fully developed.

After the Pistons management signed Chauncey Billups this summer, the "Pistons Five Tigers", who later became famous in the NBA and reached the Eastern Conference Finals for six consecutive years, have gathered the "Three Tigers" and the offensive core Chauncey Billups Both Pusi and the defensive core Ben Wallace are already in place and are strong. In the 14 games that ended in November, they have 12 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the East.

An opponent like 　　 can't win by relying on momentum.

　　 What's more, Rick Carlisle's research on the Rockets is very thorough.

　　 With Francis unable to play, Rick Carlisle targeted Yao Ming from the beginning of the game.

The method used for targeting is similar to the one used by the Warriors, that is, Yao Ming is not allowed to stay in the high position. It is just that the person who executes the tactics of the Warriors is Dampier, and the person who executes the tactics of the Pistons just got his career last year. Ben Wallace, the first best defensive player award, this guy is not comparable to Dampier in terms of defensive awareness and his own core strength.

　　 Yao Ming played very uncomfortably under his defense. At the end of the first half, he only scored 6 points.

　　 In the second half, he adapted to some Ben Wallace's defense and made a few shots with his personal ability. But more often, he still struggled against Ben Wallace.

In the end, Yao Ming scored only 18 points in the game. This is the lowest point he has scored since he reopened, except for the first game. In addition to scoring lower than usual, his shooting percentage is also much lower than usual, even 52%. None of them, at least 6 percentage points lower than his usual.

　　 Personal offense can't be opened, and Yao Ming's support hasn't played well in this game.

　　 Of course, the bigger reason is Francis' absence.

　　When playing weak teams like the Warriors, it may not be so obvious.

But when encountering the Pistons, the impact of Francis’s absence on the outside firepower of the Rockets was immediately reflected. Mobley is really only suitable for being a three-time master and a main player. He simply cannot play when the team needs someone to come forward and provide firepower. In this game, after he became the focus of the Pistons' outside defense, he struggled very much. In the end, he only scored 14 points and shot almost 38%.

In addition, James Posey is also very unusual in this game. His style of play is very unique. As long as the ball is in his hands, he will basically not pass again. Instead, he chooses to shoot himself and end the attack. He played very well tonight. Like a "lone wolf", the final data is good, 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. The scoring is the highest score of the Rockets outside of Yao's name~www.novelmt.com~ but the efficiency is not very high, similar to Mobley.

　　 However, Mobley's defensive treatment is much more "luxury" than him...

　　 In the end, the Rockets lost to the Pistons by 82 to 89, 7 points.

　　82 points!

　　 The Rockets have the lowest single game score so far this season.

　　 This shows the defensive strength of the Pistons!

In fact, this is also the root cause of the Pistons' strength this season. Their suffocation defense was not built after Larry Brown came. The defensive strength has been formed. With the arrival of Billups this season and the running-in of the entire lineup, their defensive strength has reached the top level of the league. Not only the Rockets, but before they met the Rockets, they played The average loss is only 83.5 points.

It is a pity that the management of the Pistons saw the hope of getting Larry Brown next summer and kicked Rick Carlisle directly. This made Rick Carlisle, who should have become the "champion coach" next year, until nine years later. Only then successfully put on the crown of "Champion Coach".

　　Of course, there is no way. During this period, there are only a few head coaches that Larry Brown can't squeeze away. Unfortunately, there is no Rick Carlisle name in this list.

　　 "Man, you are already great, I believe you will get better in the future!"

　　 Ben Wallace, who has restricted Yao's name very well, also gave Yao Ming "Affirmation from Seniors" after the game, and patted Yao Ming's ass.

　　 Gentle like the big brother next door, this is Ben Wallace who won the ball.

　　 As for Ben Wallace, who has lost... he has the destructive power to instantly disintegrate a championship team.
