Chapter 98 Adelman is such a good coach

The person who broke the deadlock was Kobe...

Faced with McGrady on the wing, his signature backward jump shot hit!

McGrady's defense is roughly divided into 5 times: Raptors, early stage of Magic, late stage of Magic ~ early stage of Rockets, late stage of Rockets, and then until the end of his career.

It belongs to a period, weaker than another period.

By this time, he will no longer spend too much energy on the defensive end, and he will often "close his eyes" to defend.

Adelman shook his head when he saw it.

This shake ends with the Rockets' offensive round.

Yao Ming was double-teamed again at a high position and had to run back to the basket. Alstom threw the ball to McGrady again.

The performance of "grabbing the ball with one hand" in front of Kobe successfully aroused the anger of "Black Mamba". During the confrontation, McGrady made a layup and was interfered by Odom who made a backup defense.

While the ball bounced out, Adelman wanted to take off his glasses. Yao Ming and McGrady were the worst core combination he had ever brought!

The American national treasure is about to be exported. Yao Dayao took off the board above Bynum's head. While landing, he pressed the ball with him and then buzzed with one hand under the basket.

"Oh, this is Yao!" Yu Jia sighed.

Su Qun looked at Yao Ming's resolute expression when he retreated to defend, and sighed. The good traditional big center forward now has to rely on a second attack to score...

It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming’s frontcourt rebounds this season were a career high of 3.1 per game!

Howard, the final "rebound king" this season, averaged only 3.4 frontcourt boards per game, but his average rebound count was 4 more than Yao Ming!

The Rockets' backcourt rebounds were all divided by outside players, with McGrady averaging 5.4 rebounds per game, of which only 0.6 were frontcourt boards.

Of course, the most unlucky one is Carl Landry, who averages 2.6 rebounds per game, of which 2.3 of them are frontcourt rebounds...

This situation was definitely not so serious in previous seasons.

Adelman, on his own, compressed the survival space of Rockets inside players to the extreme.

But the Rockets' outside line is not very good, and the only 2 points he scored is still Yao Ming.

Such a team ranks 10th in the Western Conference, and it seems nothing strange.

The Lakers successfully opened the gap. By 6 minutes and 14 seconds, they had already led by 7 points 16-9.

Compared with the Rockets, the Lakers' playing style is much clearer.

The only thing that made Yu Jia feel a little regretful is that Li Wan had almost no presence on the Lakers offensive end tonight, and he has never taken action yet.

Su Qun had different opinions: "Li Wan is a very mature player. Although he is only 19 years old, he knows very well when he should do what. Maybe he will play by himself in the next round..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wan on the court broke through Alstom with the ball and scored the ball against the Rockets' fourth position Louis Scola.

The 2002 show, Louis Scola, did not log in to the NBA until five years later. This was his first season in the NBA. According to the NBA's regulations on rookies, he is also a "rookie player" and is qualified to strive for the "best rookie" this year. If he wins the award, then the 27-year-old will definitely become the oldest rookie in NBA history.

And this record may not be broken.

However, although his average of 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game so far is pretty good, but he is still quite different from "Best Rookie".

The first time Li Wan scored, the big screen shot was given to Scarlett on the sidelines.

Her expression did not change much, and she still stared at the scene. When she saw herself on the big screen, she was just a little light. Will the actress still care about the camera?

Besides, her appearance is so resistant to beating, she is not afraid of close-ups.

In the next round, Li Wan continued to break through the inside.

The "Princeton" system, whether on the offensive or defensive end, has similar conditions. It requires 5 players who are tacitly aware and suitable for the Kings to truly exert the power of this system on both offense and defense.

But now the Rockets are...

It's completely out of tune!

When Li Wan broke through to the inside, Yao Ming and Scola looked at each other and let him rush into the basket and easily complete the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 32-21, and the difference between the Lakers' leading score reached 11 points.

Kobe scored 9 points in a single quarter, and McGrady, who was once the "four major points guards", only scored 4 points.

It was probably from this year that "Peter Pan" officially stood out from the "Four Major Scorebacks" and gradually opened up to the other three.

Li Wan scored 7 points, and after Yu Jia's regret, he scored repeatedly.

Other Lakers players on the field have also gained a considerable advantage in the matchup.

Apart from……

Bynum.

After taking one shot at the beginning, he made five shots before hitting a goal. Yao Ming, who had a strong lower body like an "old tree pack" and made his most powerful attack weapon - a back-attack under the basket, useless.

It is obvious that Yao Ming is the most advantageous position for the Rockets when facing the Lakers.

But Adelman was still emphasizing that the tactical running of "Princeton" was in the tactical running position, and Director Zhang hoarsely across the Pacific: "Give the ball to Yao Ming!"

He was really angry.

Li Wan stood on the sidelines and watched, and was also anxious. He really wanted to grab the Rockets' tactical board and wrote four big words on it: Give the ball to Yao!

At present, there is no more powerful inside attack weapon than Yao Yao.

But my life is a bit bad, and I met the Jazz team that is incompatible with the Rockets!

In the end of this game, Yao Mingsheng grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds and 13 rebounds in the whole game. Without many singles opportunities, he still scored 24 points.

It fully demonstrates his current top inside player in the league.

After the Science Competition, I went to hug this ideal partner whom I dreamed of but couldn't get.

Although the Lakers finally won easily in this game with 110-94, Bynum and Odom in the inside were really beaten by Yao Ming.

The two of them only scored 18 points together, including Odom 11 points and Bynum 7 points.

The "Little Shark"'s shooting percentage in this game was not even 45%, and Yao Ming invited him to have three "big hot pot".

Bynum's gap from the top inside is fully reflected in this game.

Yao Ming expressed his sigh to Kobe by "reciting etiquette".

Kobe narrowed his eyes very much and nodded: "Thank you..."

Suddenly he thought of something and continued to speak: "Thank you, your whole family!"

Puff ~

Li Wan was waiting behind to say hello to Yao Ming. He almost laughed when he heard this. Seeing Yao Ming's expression was a little ridiculous, he quickly walked forward, pushed Kobe away, pulled Yao Ming aside, pointed to his brain, and whispered: "I'm crazy if I want to win the championship, my brain is not good anymore, don't pay attention to him..."

Yao Ming's face was still surprised. He really couldn't figure out why Kobe suddenly said this. Could it be that he praised it wrong?

How could he know that Kobe's "Chinese customs teacher" was Li Wan...

Yu Jia watched the two Chinese players clapping their high fives again and separated, and said with some regret: "Li Wan really didn't perform well today!"

After scoring 7 points in the first quarter, the game was basically spent. Phil Jackson replaced Li Wan in 4 minutes and 15 seconds in the fourth quarter. He only scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in the end of this game.

The score actually exceeded his average score this season.

But just the Rockets' back line: Alstom, who is weak and McGrady, who doesn't want to defend, has 18 points in a single game, which is really a bit less.

But what Yu Jia didn't know was that Alstom made 7 of 9 three-pointers in this game, scoring nearly 30 points, which was a hit by "Old Fish". This time he only scored 10 points, which was slightly lower than his average score. His three-point shooting percentage was only 33.3%!

Losing this game, the Rockets' consecutive losses reached 6 games.

But Li Wan did not comfort Yao Ming.

Because he knew that the Rockets are still running in, and when the Rockets start in January next year, the Rockets will perform a "red miracle".

Li Wan still remembers January 2008 before traveling through time. At that time, he was in junior high school, but every time he went home from school, he could always hear similar conversations:

"The Rockets won again, right? Who will be the next game?"

"Hornets, they probably lost!"

"Well... I probably lost."

"Wow, they won again, 12 consecutive wins..."

...

That must have been one of the most exciting time for all domestic fans.

Of course, Li Wan still felt that it was most appropriate to fire Adelman. After the game, when a reporter asked Li Wan how to evaluate his compatriots and the Rockets this season, he sarcastically said without hesitation: "Adelman played more aggressively for Yao Neng and took great pains to do so!"

"I guess he must make Yao the king of frontcourt rebounds this season and the king of second offense. The 27-year-old Yao may not have expected that when he averaged 25 points per game, the head coach tried to change his playing style instead of maintaining his aggressiveness at the basket."

"Adelman is such a good coach. Even if he is three times, he is only one step away from the best coach of the season."

1990~1991,2000~2001,2001~2002...

In these three seasons, Adelman ranked second when he finally selected the "Best Head Coach of the Season". He is also the first head coach to have never won any "Best Head Coach Award" and won this "award" three times.

Adelman was squirting wildly, and the staff who was waiting for him told Li Wan that Scarlett had just asked if he could meet him, because he was a Hollywood star and had an affair with Li Wan. Not to mention the staff, even the minister of the Public Relations Department would not dare to make a decision without making any decisions, so he asked him to wait here and tell Li Wan.

Li Wan went to find Scarlett himself. Although there was no winter in Los Angeles, it was late at night and the temperature was only twelve or thirteen degrees, which was still quite low. Scarlett had a small white suit on his body, which was full of fashion sense.
