After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game came back in the second half. Both teams started with five players, then played music, and then the stage.
Bang-dang——!
“Maddie is banging the iron again!
At this time, there were three good students there, a student cadre... no, he was one of the top four shooting guards and a two-time scoring champion.
Tonight, I am so stubborn that I have no friends. "
At this moment, Tracy McGrady's offense only has mid-range shots.
It's not unusual for him to have such a poor performance due to his poor shooting feel and back pain.
God will also descend to earth one day.
Tracy McGrady is not immune.
The reason why it is difficult to understand is simply because McGrady is the youngest among the four shooting guards.
As a result, there was a contrast.
You know, the youngest of the four major centers was O'Neal, who did the things that dominated the league.
Among the top four, the youngest is Nowitzki, who also worked for one year in the future.
The luck of the four major shooting guards only favors Kobe. Who can blame him?
"The Lakers grabbed the rebound, Fisher took the ball and pushed the offense, and the rhythm picked up, but no one stopped him.
Yao Ming used his long legs and rushed to the backcourt to defend.
The Lakers' offense has been pushed to the frontcourt. Fisher changed direction and broke through. Instead of being a tool man, he actually chose to go in on his own.
After passing Alston, Scola came to help defend, Fisher passed the ball to Gasol, and when McGrady changed defense, Gasol quickly passed the ball to Su Bei.
This is still the triangle offense!
After catching the ball and hitting Tracy McGrady, Su Bei dribbled the ball to the basket and used a small floater to throw the basketball towards the basket..."
Yao Ming ran back to the penalty area, but his footing was still unstable. He just stretched out his hands to prevent himself from being lonely.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei scored 2 points for the sub-question.
The Yao-Mai combination, at this moment, became Wolong and Chufeng in one attack and one defense.
Fortunately, under the Princeton system, we don't care about giving or losing points.
As a top student in basketball, I want to make the cake bigger, and we are not short of this score.
"The Rockets attacked, and Alston took the lead, dribbling the ball and running at a high pace.
Yao Ming strides forward with his long legs.
Alston passed the ball to Scola, who was supporting in the high post, and then cut into the basket. With Scola's screen, although he failed to get rid of Fisher, he took away the Lakers' defensive attention.
Scola feinted a shot and pretended to pass the ball to Alston, but he came back with a carbine, turned around and broke through on the other side. After Gasol followed up, he turned around and gave Gasol a butt.
Then, turning back again, Scola's footsteps were like a dream, and he made a layup from close range.
Gasol may have adapted to Scola's rhythm, anticipated his movements, and covered the basket.
Scola turned his waist and threw the basketball towards the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Gasol is not a possibility, but definitely suitable for Scola's rhythm. Naturally, he will not be used to him and let Scola's offense fail.
Gasol and Bynum acted as forwards, blocking Yao Ming and Scola. Su Bei rushed to the basket and grabbed the rebound.
In fact, the Lakers don't need to protect rebounds like this.
Because Yao Ming had just run into the paint. If he wanted to grab an offensive rebound, he needed God to be on Yao Ming's side.
As a result, as soon as Yao Ming arrived in the paint area, Bynum walked directly over.
If he couldn't catch the basketball, offensively, he just ran out of time.
At this moment, the Rockets regard the Princeton system as a treasure and a thigh to embrace.
Yao Ming is nothing.
Offensively, the Princeton system advocates more flourishing, and it does not lack Yao Ming's firepower.
Defensively, Yao Ming is too slow to keep up and is easily targeted, which is a flaw that allows the team to lose points.
Yao Ming's offensive points probably won't make up for the points he lost.
As long as Yao Ming is not an All-Star player or a star with an annual salary of 15 million, Adelman really will not let Yao Ming be in the starting lineup.
Finally, Yao Ming is still active and is trying to prove that he can adapt to the Princeton system and all systems. Adelman can only make do with it.
However, the Princeton system will not get used to Yao Ming and will not give him a tactical position. Yao Ming needs to fight for it...
It's best to retreat when faced with difficulties and do the best you can.
Yao Ming ran to the paint area. The Rockets' offense had finished and was almost outside the Princeton system. It was impossible to grab rebounds like they did in the first quarter.
The Rockets' role players have lost their minds offensively.
They don't care whether they are forced or not. The head coach has given them a chance, so why don't they work hard?
As for the life and death of the team's stars, it's a matter of der!
Each one of them, who was not an eye-catching star before, now finally meets a free and democratic coach, just have a chance.
If you win, it's the coach's fault, if you lose, it's the stars' fault. The role players work hard to score points to improve their statistics. Signing a big contract is enough.
With such a state of mind, the players are in good condition and when the odds are against them, the players dare to fight and fight hard, and everyone is an army, and the offense is really unstoppable.
However, if the condition is not good, it will be miserable when the wind is against the wind.
Role players don't have a chance to win, they like to steal the show, and they fight against the odds. With their IQ and strength, they simply can't grasp the situation.
After all, at that time, what was often fought for was the stars and their ability to fight tough battles.
As a result, McGrady was not in good condition and continued to play iron.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
Tracy McGrady is useless, and it's not his fault.
Catching the ball, shooting from mid-range, and being a shooter is really not the style that suits him.
He is a ball handler!
However, in the Princeton system, as a support organization, it is the center and point guard who hold the ball and attack.
It’s okay not to mention the point guard, this is his function.
Pulling the center out can create an opportunity to retreat and hit the basket, leaving it to the outside, creating a pick-and-roll tactical effect without the ball.
McGrady's one-on-one with the ball will only affect the team's overall offensive rhythm.
Although you, Tracy McGrady, are the boss, who do you think you are in front of the Princeton system?
You said you are the scoring champion?
Have you made it past the first round of the playoffs?
Didn't you pass?
If not, then be obedient and work hard to adapt to the Princeton system.
Don't think about those who have the ball but don't have it.
After playing rebounding for 10 years and not even making it past the first round, you still have the nerve to be disobedient?
McGrady is also adapting and worked hard in the third quarter.
Yao Ming is also adapting. In the third quarter, he ran back and forth on both sides. The basketball was not in his hands at all, and the offense had nothing to do with him.
On defense, the Lakers deliberately speeded up the game. If Yao Ming can rush back and prevent the Rockets from missing one player, it will be successful. It will be fine without him.
This is how the Yao-Mai team abandoned their martial arts skills.
The Yao-Mai combination cannot attack, cannot defend, and is nothing.
Fortunately, the Lakers' state tonight is only average.
The offense couldn't get off to a good start.
In the third quarter of the game, both sides were generally struggling.
Fortunately, the rhythm was picked up quickly, and the scores of both sides were pretty good. The score was 22 to 17. The Lakers expanded the score by 5 points and took a 9-point lead.
McGrady went 0 for 4.
Scola scored 1 of 5, Artest scored 2 of 5, and Alston scored 0 of 2.
Yao Ming scored 1 in 1, which was still a miss. The starting lineup played like this, and it was only an extra 5 points, which was already earned.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Adelman had no choice but to survive.
After all, McGrady was so tough. In the first three quarters, he made 1 of 11 shots and 1 of 4 three-pointers. He only scored 3 points and 4 assists and was benched.
Yao Ming ran for more than two quarters, and his physical fuel tank had bottomed out, so he also pressed down on the bench.
Scola played a good game, but he didn't perform much in the rest, and he didn't play either.
Artest has just arrived. Even though he is from the Kings, looking at his muscles, you can tell that he is not very smart and is not suitable for the Princeton system. As for joining the Rockets, it is entirely because it is cheap.
It's famous, powerful, and cheap. Wouldn't that be a good fit for the Rockets? He was also pushed on the bench.
Alston is hopeless, and Adelde is ready to send him away.
The street ball king likes to stick to the ball too much. He has poor organization and unstable shooting. The only thing he can use is breakthrough.
The problem is that Princeton's high-position support does not require too many breakthroughs.
I used to join the Rockets because I could pass the ball to Yao Ming, but now Yao Ming can't even catch the ball, so let's keep him for the New Year!
"Demon Town Museum"
So, trailing by 9 points, Adelman put on a full rotation lineup in the final decisive moment.
Hayes, Landry, Barry, Lutherhead, Brooks.
Jackson put on a mediocre lineup, Gasol, Odom, Ariza, Vujacic, and Farmar.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers attacked the inside and Gasol scored two points.
Then Farmar scored a three-pointer.
I had the advantage in rebounding. I used the tactics of grabbing three-pointers or rushing to the basket. I returned to the game and used a 10-4 offensive to defeat McGrady and Artest.
McGrady can't shoot well, but his organization is pretty good, and he can attract defense on his own. As long as he doesn't take any shots, he seems to be good on the court.
Artest's defense is invincible. The Rockets need billions of talents at this time, and there is nothing wrong with playing.
It's just a pity that the Rockets have lost their hearts.
Adelman is not only a talent, but also a whimsical talent, commonly known as great intelligence.
“Tracy and Artest came out and didn’t lead the Rockets’ offense.
Instead, one is responsible for organization and the other is responsible for defense.
The two big stars are doing side work for other role players..."
Let's see now, can the Rockets' role players be able to withstand it?
You can't stand it!
I can't stand it!
What do you use to top it?
I can handle it!
Now the Rockets have nothing to do on the court other than talking tough.
Five minutes later, the Rockets were almost 20 points behind.
At this time, Jackson remembered to replace Kobe, Su Bei and Bynum.
Adelman could only grit his teeth and replace Yao Ming and Scola.
Fighting against the wind, the Rockets still have to rely on stars. The Princeton system is not a savior. Basketball still has to rely on people.
It's just a pity that the Rockets at this time have been unable to pass the first round after the season. While they don't understand how to play basketball, they only know that if they don't work hard, they will be dead. They have no choice.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 117 to 81. The Lakers had a 36-point advantage, slaughtering the Rockets and winning five consecutive games in the new season.
Kobe made 10 of 17 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 23 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Although he is versatile, he is just okay. Is he the best in the league?
Gasol made 7 of 10 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 20 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists, rounding out a 20+20 double-double. His performance was very strong.
Su Bei made 6 of 12 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. He did not lose the face of the Big Three. He averaged just 20 points with Kobe and Gasol. Performance is just okay.
Bynum had 13 points and 7 rebounds, and Odom had 10 points and 4 rebounds. They were 100 million points behind the Big Three. The Lakers were really just the Big Three.
Tracy McGrady made 1 of 11 for the Rockets, 3 points and 4 assists, garbage.
Yao Ming made 6 of 11 shots, 0 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, which was okay.
Artest made 2 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.
Compared with the Lakers' rich version of the Big Three, the poor version of the Big Three loses by more than one margin.
The Rockets were slaughtered. I really don't blame Adelman's Princeton system. I can only blame the Big Three for their ineffectiveness. They made 11 shots and the highest was only 12 points. Winning is a strange thing.
…
"Ding, the favorability value of Black Mamba Kobe is 777!"
"Ding, gaining the favorability of my sister-in-law Gasol is worth 666!"
"Ding, gaining Lama Odom's favor is worth 555!"
"Ding, get the little giant Yao Ming's rage value of 666!"
“Ding, get McGrady’s rage value of 555!
"
"..."
After glancing at the harvest of mosquito meat, Su Bei exited the information prompt with a calm face.
He knew that things like this would happen more and more, and it wouldn't matter anymore.
The next opponent is better behaved, the next opponent is better.
“The Big Three in Texas have always been the Devil’s away game.
I hope the Mavericks can find something and challenge them! "
November 11th is Double Eleven, the legendary Singles’ Day.
Night falls at the American Airlines Center Arena.
At this time, the Lakers were away to challenge the Mavericks. In the arena, the lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Kidd chatted about a few cents, and of course Nowitzki's few cents were also indispensable.
There was a time when Kidd had the opportunity to join forces with Kobe, which was one of the reasons why Kobe would force the Lakers.
However, Kidd's fate with the Lakers was not close. He had several opportunities but missed them.
Kobe and Kidd also met each other in this rumor, so they naturally wanted to have a good chat.
Nowitzki, as the leader, naturally has his role.
Later, Gasol also joined in, and the chat was quite pleasant.
Su Bei just warmed up by shooting quietly. He was in the same school as Josh Howard. However, Josh Howard was absent due to injury and was not present.
At this time, the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Mavericks' starting five are Dampier, Nowitzki, Gerald Green, Terry, and Kidd.
The Lakers' starting five are Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe and Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Mike Breen and Marv Albert as commentary partners.
“This game can only be based on the cards of both sides, and it is actually a 50-50 game.
However, this Mavericks team is full of flaws now. If we have to give a winning rate, it should be 73.
Lakers seven, Mavericks three.
Although the Mavericks have home court advantage, they need some luck to defeat the championship team of the Lakers. "
"The change of coach Rick Carlisle, the adjustment and transformation of Kidd's joining, Josh Howard's injury, the decision to sign Dampier, the replacement of old Stackhouse, and no salary space...
The Mavericks have a lot of problems, and now is really not a good time to challenge the Lakers.
However, the Mavericks' cards and foundation are there, and it will not be easy for the Lakers to escape from this arena..."
The game begins.
Bynum defeated Dampier, the once self-proclaimed No. 1 center in the Western Conference, and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
Kobe took the pass from Fisher, the tool man, singled out Terry, and scored a two-point fadeaway jumper.
2 to 0!
Terry was looking for death by guarding Kobe.
Fortunately, the Mavericks' offense was also very sharp. Nowitzki responded with a three-pointer, and the Golden Rooster made an independent shot. Gasol shrank in the penalty area and could only be bombarded. Even if he saved it, he couldn't prevent it.
2 to 3!
Subsequently, the Lakers attacked.
Fisher controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Kobe was replaced by Kidd. Fisher knew the numbers well, distributed the ball to Su Bei, and then cut into the basket.
“The Lakers played a team game.
Huh?
Su Bei got up with the ball, raised his hand and blinded Ji Ba for a three-point jumper..."
Gerald Green, who was selected in the first round of 2005 and was a student of the same class as Su Bei, made the save when it was already too late. He could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
If you guess wrong, there is no reward.
With the knife in hand, Su Bei's three-pointers were always missed and accurately hit the basket.
5 to 2!
Next, the two sides fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
However, the Mavericks suddenly found the feeling. This is an emotional team, and when they find the feeling, they will be unstoppable.
"Terry singled out Fisher, changed direction, broke through, made an emergency stop, jumped up, raised his hand and made a two-point emergency stop jumper.
Swish——!
Fisher was picked off, Terry was very tough and scored 2 points. "
…
"Here it goes again, Terry again.
Rush up and fight back, take the ball to the frontcourt, eh?
One step away from the three-point line, he took the ball and raised his hand to make a three-pointer. Ji Bagan pulled out his hand.
Swish——!
Still on target!
Terry, his shooting touch at the beginning was simply amazing.
No, that's not right.
No longer a god.
But going crazy.
The Lakers deserve the bad luck that happened to Terry when he got mad..."
Terry is like this, with all his firepower, no matter how hard he fights, what can he do to support him?
You can't stand it!
What Kobe, what Su Bei, the offense in front of Terry is nothing.
No way, Terry is in an improper state and you can't compare to it.
In the first quarter of the game, Fisher was beaten, the Lakers were also beaten, and the Mavericks led 35 to 26, taking a 9-point lead.
The Mavericks are full of firepower. Fortunately, there are holes everywhere defensively, and the Lakers can also score.
The game was not disrupted.
…
