Xu Xin has spotted this. If he can play more balloons, the Nuggets' offense will stagnate, which is a good thing for the Rockets.
Sure enough, Jeremy Lin's indifferent expression made Lawson even more upset. In the next few attacks, he chose to go it alone, and the effect was predictably unsatisfactory.
The Rockets' offense was relaxed and relaxed. Jeremy Lin played very calmly and did a good job in guiding the offense.
Butler and Garnett got mid-range shooting opportunities one after another and took advantage of them. Harden also made a solid hit on his first shot from beyond the three-point line.
The Rockets blasted a wave of 7:0 and 14:7 to widen the point difference to 7 points.
"Ty Lawson has been too uncool these past few offenses. He's a little over the top. Nuggets coach George Karl's face is already ugly. Lawson is going to be scolded."
Zhang Weiping smiled and as soon as he finished speaking, George Karl called a timeout.
"What's the matter with you? Why don't you use tactics? Do you think you are Kobe? You can win by yourself?"
Coach Karl didn't wait for Lawson to get to the bench before he roared and asked a series of four questions. Lawson lowered his head and dared not make a sound.
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Karl said nothing more. The timeout was limited and he needed to arrange a scoring strategy for his players.
Finally, Karl turned to look at Lawson:
"You take a break first, calm down, Andre (Miller), come on."
"Okay, coach."
Old Miller nodded in agreement, took off his training clothes and got ready to play.
After the timeout, Miller played a pick-and-roll with Warcraft, helping the latter to hit the basket with an alley-oop, and scored 2 points.
"Andre is much more stable than Lawson. Although his personal offensive ability is weaker, his comprehensive strength at the point guard position, dribbling and passing, controlling errors, overall view, defense, and experience all come into play. Above the forest.”
Zhang Weiping analyzed.
Jeremy Lin faced Miller and called the same tactic. Garnett put up a pick-and-roll, and Jeremy Lin rushed inward, but Miller deftly squeezed past him. He was still in front of Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin was a little surprised when his breakthrough hit a wall. He knew from the video recording session before the game that Miller was a strong defender.
However, time is not forgiving, and Miller is getting old after all. As people age, their legs age first, and his slow lateral speed is his biggest problem.
Jeremy Lin also noticed this when he used the pick-and-roll to accelerate his breakthrough. Unexpectedly, Miller could keep up.
Jeremy Lin changed his movements while walking and passed the ball to Garnett, but Faried caught him and stretched out his hand to slap the ball aside, but the landing point was just within Butler's control.
Butler has quick eyes and quick hands, grabbing the basketball and rushing towards the frame. The monster under the basket quickly made up the defense and jumped vertically to prepare for the block.
Butler hovered in the air, passed the ball around Warcraft's waist, and handed it to Asik behind him.
The latter caught the ball, pulled out onions on dry ground and dunked with both hands, easily eating the cake.
"A good ball. The ball went in and out. Butler reacted quickly. It was quite beautiful to hang in the air. This requires strong core strength as support to complete such an action."
Yang Jian praised, his words showing his love for Butler.
Faried was a little annoyed. He clearly judged the ball, but unfortunately he failed to control it, giving Butler the opportunity to "steal the chicken".
"It doesn't matter, we'll come back in the next round."
Miller saw the "orc"'s annoyance and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Okay, call back."
Faried smacked the ball hard, sent it to Miller, and ran forward.
Miller dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and observed the movements of his teammates. He saw that the Rockets were guarding man-to-man, with the two wings guarding very outside. It seemed that they were afraid of Gallinari and Chandler's shooting.
However, this kind of defense expenditure is insufficient for the defense and protection of the inside.
Miller saw everything clearly and already made a decision in his heart.
The ball was lobbed to Warcraft inside. Warcraft hit the back once at the beginning and never played again.
On the one hand, it is Karl's tactical arrangement. While he gives Warcraft a certain degree of freedom to play in the low post, he also encourages Warcraft to play more pick-and-rolls with defenders to obtain easier scoring opportunities.
Warcraft is eager to prove himself and get rid of the bad reputation he had with the Lakers, and is very obedient to Karl's tactical arrangements.
He himself has said to media reporters more than once,
"As long as I can help the team win, I'm willing to take on any role."
On the other hand, it was Lawson's wild play after taking the lead. Let alone Warcraft, other players had not received the ball in the previous rounds.
Therefore, part of the reason why Carl was furious and reprimanded Lawson in public just now was to show Warcraft.
Warcraft caught the ball, sensed Asik's defensive position with his back, saw that the opponent was close to the defense, and then used his back to hit.
"Bang bang!"
The clash of muscles could be heard clearly by the fans sitting in the front row. Warcraft was like a bulldozer, carrying Asik and walking inside.
Asik carried it a few times but was pushed to the basket and watched as Warcraft's little hook scored again.
14:11.
"World of Warcraft is in great shape today. The game is just over halfway, and I have already scored 8 points on 4-for-4 shooting."
Asik went to serve the sideline ball dejectedly. He had tried his best, but he was still powerless against the World of Warcraft.
"Don't be discouraged, you can foul."
Jeremy Lin stepped forward and whispered.
Asik's eyes lit up, yes, he can foul.
Everyone knows how bad Warcraft's free throw shooting is. How could he forget this?
"Just give him a surprise next time."
Asik said, watching Jeremy Lin smile knowingly, and ran to the front court after serving.
"Warcraft has already scored 8 points, and it's a 100% hit rate."
In the box, McGrady looked at the technical statistics and said.
"His style of play is a little different from the Magic days."
Yao Ming has been observing the details of Warcraft on the court. The Nuggets are a strong team and the two teams may meet in the playoffs. Obviously, Yao Ming has regarded Warcraft as an imaginary enemy.
"Yes, during the Magic period, he mainly played post-up singles. The finishing method was nothing more than a small hook with his back turned upwards, a layup with his back turned downwards, and second offense scoring. The pick-and-roll is relatively Relatively few. Now Warcraft has reduced its low post attacks and increased the frequency of pick-and-rolls."
Xu Xin analyzed.
"The monster that plays the pick-and-roll poses a greater threat."
Yao Ming said solemnly.
"Yes, it becomes even more difficult to defend against monsters when they run and fight."
Maddie affirmed.
"Then just send him to the free throw line. Missing two free throws is equivalent to a mistake. We are in a round-robin battle. It is still very easy to make him five "mistakes" in one game."
Xu Xin spread his hands and said with a smile.
"I don't see how you, Manager Xu, could have such an unseemly idea."
Maddie smiled.
"Don't be deceived by his appearance. He looks upright, but in fact he is full of evil."
Yao Ming joked.
"I'm still making suggestions for the Rockets."
Xu Xin snorted coldly, but a smile appeared on his face.
