In the second quarter, Jackson stopped cheating. After all, he was so far behind, and he had to give something to teach others why he didn't treat the Rockets as a team.
Su Bei and Bynum continued to hang on the court.
Rotate Odom, Ariza and Farmar.
On the Rockets' side, the big three of the poor brand have all gone to rest, and even no one is in the first-round lineup. Adelman chose to play with all the rotation lineups, seeming to be sure to defeat the Lakers.
Hayes, Landry, Brent Barry, Luther Head, Little Potato Brooks.
As soon as the rotation came out, the commentator shook his head: Sure enough!
“The difference between the bench lineups of the two teams is not a hundred million points.
The two elders, Xuan and Ming, were separated because they were too old. After all, they could not keep up with the fast pace of Princeton.
Battier's injury makes the Rockets' lineup even more stretched.
As Yao Ming left the game, the Rockets' height instantly dropped, and their inside advantage also dropped by several dimensions. "
"That's true, especially when faced with the Lakers, who have three star inside players, the Rockets' inside line is even more shabby.
On the Lakers side, when Gasol comes off the court and Odom, the sixth man, comes on the court, and then Bynum plays hard, the inside advantage can be continued..."
The second quarter begins.
The Lakers had the ball, and Farmar controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Unexpectedly, he rose up from the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...
Brooks is known as 183, I believe you, you are not a bad old man, but he is still very bad.
Obviously you look like 178, but you still like to report to Gao Li. I asked you how many pairs of socks you stuffed during the physical test?
You said don't ask, asking is the tradition of the alliance.
Anyway, it's a defensive disadvantage. What's the point of comparing yourself to those who are 3 meters or 5 meters away?
All right!
At this time, hearing such sophistry, he was speechless.
However, you have to admit when you are wrong. False reports can deceive people and are of no use on the court. Farmar, who is 1.88 meters tall, will naturally use his misplaced advantage to teach him how to behave.
Brooks could only remain calm about this. He and Ben could not struggle with this matter.
Not everyone is CP3. If you can train your defense to the top level, it is enough for someone like him to be able to take care of his offensive energy.
He comes out in rotation to provide offensive firepower and delay time for the main players to rest.
Defensively, the only thing that can be done is to bet that there are no bullets in Farmar's three-point pistol.
Bang-dang——!
I actually guessed it, but there was no reward.
“The three-pointer is a three-pointer, but basketball still belongs to the Lakers.
Bynum took advantage of his height and grabbed offensive rebounds.
Hayes is 1.98 meters tall, and Landry is only 2.06 meters tall, which is quite watery. The Rockets' inside players are both short. I don't know if they are there for fun, but they are definitely not here to grab rebounds.
Although Hayes was once known as the short center who could rebound the best, he was too short.
Fortunately, they have advantages in strength and speed. Hayes and Landry quickly completed the double attack. Bynum grabbed the basketball but couldn't move after landing.
He could only pass the basketball out. Farmar caught the ball, lifted the ball a little, knocked Brooks away, and drove the ball to the inside. Loophead rushed to change defense. Farmar didn't like him and passed a back-up hit. land……"
Peng——!
The basketball bounced up after hitting the floor, flew into Su Bei's hands, caught the ball, jumped up, and shot...
There is no redundancy in the entire shooting movement, and the movements are as smooth as eating Dove chocolate.
Lupihead rushed over, just for show.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei accurately scored a three-pointer.
“The difference between the two sides became 9 points.
Luther and Su Bei both debuted in 2005. At that time, Luther took advantage of Tracy McGrady's injury and was reimbursed for the season. His performance was worse than that of Su Bei. Unexpectedly, the situation of both sides was completely different. "
“Next look at the Rockets offense.
There was nothing to guess. Brooks rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, started, accelerated, and was as fast as lightning.
Defensively, his height is a blessing, and offensively, his height is also a talent.
God closed a door for him, but opened a small door for him. The speed was very fast, the explosion was very fast, and the essence was concentrated. If Farmar didn't want to be swept away like a street in the early morning, he could only wait and fight. And retreat.
Brooks was unforgiving and rushed to the basket quickly..."
Bang-dang——!
The result was blacksmithing.
Brooks' opportunity came out. The Lakers' defense was not stable due to the blitz, but the shot too quickly was not stable either.
Shooting at close range looks like a question to get points, but in fact it's still a lot of luck.
“The Rockets had no chance to grab offensive rebounds and quickly returned to defense after failing to score.
Odom got the backcourt rebound, passed the ball to Farmar, dribbled the ball across half court, and waited for his teammates to get into position. What happened?
He raised his hand and hit a three-pointer to blind Ji Ba and throw it around..."
Brooks felt that this shot was very insulting, and he could only bet that Farmar's three-point shot would not be harmful.
"You don't have bullets in your hand?"
Swish——!
Unfortunately, if you guess wrong, you have to pay the price.
Farmar hit a hollow three-pointer into the net.
The gap between the two sides became 6 points.
Only two three-pointers are missing.
"It's another three-point tactic. With the high and low inside having an absolute advantage, such a tactic to grab points is not outrageous.
If it's outrageous, it's also outrageous for the head coach of the Rockets. He actually sent two short inside men. This is asking for his own death! "
"Perhaps Adelman himself has no choice.
The Rockets are always only willing to spend money on Yao Mai. Other players can't make money, so naturally they can save whatever they can.
The flaw in the lineup is a flaw.
Just don’t know?
Do you think it's possible? In the first quarter of the game, Coach Jackson arranged for Bynum to frequently use the three-legged cat's offensive skills to attack Yao Ming. Was it a war of attrition? "
“It’s probably not possible, but definitely.
Bynum has 4 consecutive irons, but he still doesn't give up attacking Yao Ming. What are the Lakers trying to do? Bynum doesn't take a shower, he only washes and cuts?
This is a conspiracy under the pressure of the lineup. Yao Ming was arranged, and there was nothing wrong with the Rockets..."
"..."
Off the court, Adelman clearly saw what Jackson was planning, and wanted to use the advantage of the inside lineup to crush the Rockets.
However, while Adelman has no choice, he is still a talent.
When former head coach Van Gundy faced this situation, he would slow down the pace of the game, just like a Landlord. Knowing that his cards were not good, he naturally had to delay time, manipulate the opponent's mentality, and make the opponent make mistakes, so that he could seize the opportunity.
Such a wretched style of play looks really aggrieved, just looking for scolding.
However, to a certain extent, it still has a little bit of effect.
Adelman does not have this kind of awareness. He is an academic coach who likes to be upright when playing games.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"The Rockets' lineup was suppressed, but they didn't slow down the pace and reduce the number of offensive rounds, which means reducing the number of injuries.
I originally thought that D'Antoni was already very brave, but I didn't expect that Adelman was even braver by the score. Who is being unreasonable?
The Rockets automatically pushed up the offensive rhythm, and Brooks picked up the rhythm.
One dragon rushed to the inside, used whirlwind speed to penetrate the Lakers' defense, rushed to the penalty area, and put the basketball into the basket..."
Swish——!
The Rockets' offense can also score points.
The Lakers didn't care. Compared with their offensive firepower, the Lakers really didn't compare to any other team, because none of them were as brave as the Lakers.
The reason why they were not brave in the first quarter was completely accidental and should not be counted.
“The Lakers were on offense and Farmar was pressed.
Instead of forcing a three-point shot, he handed the basketball to Su Bei, and Farmar cut into the basket.
Huh?
What's the big deal?
Su Bei is not unreasonable or team-oriented, but Farmar finished his three-pointer and it was Su Bei's turn.
The reason why Rutherhead keeps getting better and better is because his defense is not good. What can he do to defend..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei hit another three-pointer.
Miraculously, after Su Bei's attack, Farmar took the Lakers' turn to attack. He set an outside screen with Su Bei, received Su Bei's pass, and raised his hand to hit another three-pointer.
"It rained three-pointers on the outside of the Lakers. More than three minutes passed in the second quarter, and the Lakers' offensive firepower was full, beating the Rockets with a 12-4 shock wave.
The Lakers fell behind by 12 points in the first quarter, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a 4-point gap left. "
"Adelman couldn't bear it and had to call a timeout."
However, calling a timeout tactic is just to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm. Without spending money, the flaws in the Rockets' lineup will never be solved.
There is not even a reliable substitute player around Yao Ming.
Uncle Mu is already 45 years old, not sure if he is still in his 40s, but he is too old to be old.
Hayes can only defend and has never been able to practice shooting. In the Princeton system, he is a marginal player.
Playing in a system that is not suitable for him, a player with obvious flaws in his physical talent is simply useless.
In addition, Yao Ming now has several steel nails in his legs and is not allowed to rest during the offseason to participate in the Olympics. His physical fitness is inherently weak and he can only play effectively for 25 minutes. The Rockets are not reinforcing, so what else can they do?
After the game came back, Adelman, a talented man, didn't do much. He was not good at adjusting on the spot. He just said a few words of chicken soup, and then nothing happened.
"The Rockets continue to play a fast-paced offense. Since they can't defend, they might as well put all their energy into offense.
In a word, very tough!
"
When we came back again, the game situation returned to a back-and-forth state. When we rushed to confront each other, no one could do anything to the opponent.
The Princeton system is so awesome. On offense, the firepower it exerts is not inferior to the triangle offensive system at all.
In the 6th minute of the second quarter, the gap between the two sides was still 5 points.
However, after Su Bei and Bynum came off the court, Kobe and Gasol came on.
At this time, the Lakers' lineup became Gasol, Odom, Ariza, Kobe and Farmar.
The Rockets replaced the starting lineup with Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Tracy McGrady, and Alston.
Just looking at the lineups of both sides, it seems that the Rockets are not losing to the Lakers.
However, when the game was played, it was not the same thing.
"T-Mac broke through with the ball, faced Kobe's defense, raised his hand and made a two-point pull-up jump shot.
There was a clang, and the iron was struck.
After being awake on the bench for 5 minutes, McGrady still couldn't find his touch. "
…
"Alston brought the ball to the frontcourt, and it was Farmar who was guarding him. Our street ball king had the advantage. He broke through, stepped down and dribbled the ball, changed direction, pulled up and shot a two-point jumper.
Bang——!
Alston doesn’t have a sight, nor does he have a two-point shot. "
…
"Alston passed the ball to Artest, who was guarding Ariza.
In terms of body size comparison, Artest feels like a cow, but Ariza is a thin man and feels like he can defeat him with his physical strength.
Performing the secret love step, he ran into the penalty area, faced the defense, and faced the man..."
Bang-dang——!
Strike the iron with both hands again.
McGrady's offense was missed, and Alston and Artest's offense was also lost.
McGrady went 0 for 2.
Artest was 0 for 2.
Alston scored 0 for 3.
And Scola's 1 for 0.
Yao Ming was not much better, just 1 of 2. The Rockets' starting five, composed of the three poor Big Three, returned to the court, but only played lonely.
“In the Princeton system, everyone is for me and I am for everyone, and whoever has an offensive opportunity can play.
The concept of attacking with all the people as soldiers and more flowers seems reasonable and not outrageous.
However, McGrady's annual salary this season is 20.37 million, and Yao Ming's annual salary is 15 million.
Alston only has less than 5 million, Scola has 3.1 million... Their offensive ball rights are the same, there is no priority, whoever is in good condition will go up. Yao Ming used to be the absolute main force, but he also has to go off the court to fight for position. Fight for the stage.
The playing style of the Princeton system is very fair, very team-oriented, and very equal. However, in critical and anxious battles, who will stand up and lead the team? "
The answer is you don’t know?
You think it’s the stars with high annual salaries who should step forward, right?
The head coach said: There is a conflict with the Princeton system.
The star said: If you don’t have the ball to practice your touch, it’s better to find players who are in good condition.
Anyway, if nothing goes wrong, when you win a game and win a match, you are good to me and everyone is good, and it is all the credit of the head coach.
If there is a problem, it means that the star is not suitable for the system, does not understand the essence of the Princeton system, is not smart, has insufficient skills, and has no team awareness...
To put it bluntly, the Princeton system does not need stars. It can win some games, but the upper limit is not high.
The Princeton system needs to prove that its upper limit is at the peak, and it needs some stars, but it does not give the stars special privileges, and if it does, it will not talk about the team.
In short, winning belongs to the coach and losing belongs to the stars.
Adelman's Princeton system is too awesome. He can be both impressive and stand-up, and can use gorgeous things to attract attention, making people forget that basketball is for winning games and honors. As long as you are beautiful, you can be forgiven. As long as the performance is gorgeous, it is just...
In a word, under the Princeton system, the real superstar is not the player, but the head coach.
“This kind of basketball, when the state is good, everyone is like a tiger, everyone can fight, but it is very tough.
But, is it lasting..."
Tracy McGrady can get 20 million just because of your good data.
If Tracy McGrady can do it, so can everyone else. Everyone is vying to be the first and just grind up the data.
If they can't come out, the fault is not with the role players, but with the core stars. They are overpaid and incompetent, and are useless at critical moments.
Anyway, playing under the Princeton system is not only wonderful, but also messy and contentious.
Once the beautiful appearance is torn apart, it is nothing.
In the second quarter, the Rockets played too poorly, and the Lakers played normally, beating the Rockets by a score of 36 to 20.
At the end of the first half, the score was 52 to 48. The Lakers lost first and then won. With a 4-point lead, they entered the locker room to rest.
In a game, you can win by 12 points or lose by 16 points. The fast pace of Princeton's system is really terrifying and wonderful!
