Chapter 438 New skill pack! Rodman's ability to fight!
Howard quickly took off twice and hit O'Neal with a slam dunk!
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded again, and O'Neal Jr. committed a defensive foul.
and.one!
"Roar!!!"
After scoring, Howard roared passionately in the stands.
The Celtic generals all showed helpless expressions.
Missing this offensive rebound hurts morale so much!
When Howard stepped to the free throw line again, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
People who love to laugh will never have bad luck.
This time there was an extra penalty, and Howard's shot was a solid hit.
At 79:59, the point difference between the two teams returned to 20 points.
In the subsequent games, the Celtics did not give up and continued to use foul tactics against Howard.
As a result, the Heat's offensive efficiency has indeed declined.
But they still maintain extremely high intensity on the defensive end.
The Celtics finally expected Howard to miss two free throws, but when they looked back, they couldn't put the ball into the basket.
Therefore, the point difference between the two teams has not changed.
The Heat entered the fourth quarter with an 18-point lead.
In the last quarter of the game, the Celtics still did not give up.
Rivers sent all five starters on the field as a last-ditch effort.
The Heat did not dare to neglect at all, and the three giants appeared together.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, relying on Pierce's consecutive scoring, the Celtics once narrowed the point difference to 10 points.
However, the huge physical exertion caused Truth's efficiency to drop significantly in subsequent games.
Therefore, halfway through the fourth quarter, the Heat regained the initiative and once again widened the point difference to about 15 points.
After that, the Celtics were unable to recover.
In the last two minutes, Rivers removed all his main players and surrendered...
When the red light on the timer lights up, the game officially ends.
In the end, the Heat sat at home and defeated the Celtics 110:100, winning the second game of the series.
The total score of the two teams came to 2:0.
…………
After watching the game, Mark Jackson asked the players to talk about their feelings.
"Judging from this game, the advantage of our substitute lineup may not be able to play its due advantage in the final battle. The Heat can let the main players play for a long time like the Green Army did today."
"Whether it is LeBron, Dwayne or Dwight, they are all in their prime and their physical fitness is at its peak."
"They have the ability and the will to play for extended periods of time in a seven-game series."
McGrady analyzed carefully.
He made this inference based on the mentality of the Heat's Big Three.
Among these three people, James and Howard are both chasing the first championship of their careers.
During the offseason, James faced criticism from all over the United States (except Miami) and made a resolute decision i.
This means that in every subsequent season, failure to win the championship is a failure!
Howard also left his parent team, the Magic, in the middle of the season and joined the Heat, a powerful team in the Eastern Conference.
This has undoubtedly greatly reduced the reputation of Warcraft in the "passerby board".
If he fails to win the championship with the Heat this year, he may never return to his glorious moment as the All-Star vote-winner.
To put it simply, this season is a do-or-die affair for both James and Ho.
The other Big Three, Wade, after tasting the "sweetness" of the championship, can only be described as lonely in recent years.
The three superstars are extremely eager to win the championship this season.
Driven by this mentality, it is entirely possible for them to "burn" themselves and play for a long time in the finals.
Moreover, the three of them also have such abilities (unless the Rockets turn off the air conditioning at home)!
"You don't have to worry too much. Even if the Heat play short rotations and let LeBron and the others play for a long time, we still have an advantage."
"Even Iron Man needs a rest. If it's a game that determines the outcome, it might be okay for the three of them to play the whole game."
"But the series is a best-of-seven series. No player can play so many games with high intensity in a row."
Yao Ming said with relief.
"Everything you say makes sense."
"When I was with the Pistons, I played in the Finals with the Lakers. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers was recognized as a physical monster. I remember clearly that he averaged 44.2 minutes per game in that series!"
"But how many players in the world can match Kobe's physical fitness? At least the three guys from the Heat can't."
"So, we remain vigilant, but we don't need to worry too much."
Ben Wallace spoke eloquently.
After entering the playoffs, Ben obviously talked a lot more in the locker room.
First, young players like the Rockets respect him. Second, Shen Fei also called him specifically and asked him to impart more playoff experience to his teammates.
After hearing what Ben said, Yao and Mai nodded in succession.
McGrady and Kobe have been friends for many years, and he knows the latter better than anyone else on the scene.
As a physical monster like Kobe, in T-Mac's impression, only Iverson can match him.
The three of Zhan Weihuo are indeed very strong, but they are not good at physical strength.
It's almost impossible for them to play 44 minutes in every game.
As long as these three people take a rest, the Rockets' bench advantage will be fully demonstrated.
After all, none of the Heat's bench players can compare with powerful players like Roy and Oden.
"The situation in the east is actually quite clear."
"The Celtics are very tenacious, but their strength is too far behind that of the Heat. Their defeat is basically certain."
"The Bulls are playing very well under the leadership of Rose. The Hawks can't stop them, but their offensive method is too simple. It is difficult to defeat the Heat's defense with only Rose."
"So...if we successfully enter the finals, our opponent will most likely be the Heat!"
Yao Ming continued his analysis.
"It's good. With such a strong opponent, our chances of winning the championship are high."
"Next, we will make two preparations. On the one hand, we will study the current opponents, and on the other hand, we will figure out how to deal with the Heat."
Mark Jackson concluded.
The Rockets generals nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, let's go back and have a rest soon."
"Tomorrow's game is very important, so we can't take it lightly."
Mark Jackson said seriously.
After that, he stood up, walked among the players, and stretched out his right hand.
The Rockets generals responded one after another and folded their hands together.
"one.two.three!"
"go.rockets!!!!"
............
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Shen Fei also just watched the game between the Heat and Celtics at home.
In his opinion, the game was uneventful. The Green Army was tenacious, but it did not really put pressure on the Heat.
But that doesn't mean the game didn't have its highlights.
On the contrary, the "cut Huo" tactic in the third quarter really made Shen Fei's eyes shine.
[This move is not bad, just chop it down and mess with Howard's mentality...]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
Of course, the beauty of this trick goes far beyond just improving your mentality.
If the foul tactic is used well, it can force the opponent to put a core player on the bench.
It just so happens that the Rockets have a lot of players and have sufficient resources to implement foul tactics.
Once Howard misses several consecutive free throws in a game, the Heat may hide him.
Once World of Warcraft ends, the Heat's weak inside line will be wide open.
At that time, whether it is Yao Ming and Griffin's strong inside play, or McGrady, Curry and other outside players' breakthroughs to attack the basket, it will become much easier.
Thinking of this, Shen Fei silently recorded his thoughts in the memo on his phone.
After the Western Conference Finals are over, he will send these ideas to Mark Jackson, which can be regarded as a contribution to the team's championship.
After doing this, Shen Fei had nothing to do and looked through the statistics of the Rockets' previous playoff games.
Among them, Yi Jianlian's playing time caught his attention.
10 minutes, 7 minutes, 5 minutes...
As the playoffs progressed, Shen Fei found that Ah Lian's playing time gradually declined.
In contrast, Jeremy Lin's playing time has exceeded that of Lowry, becoming the second point guard after Curry.
"I learned the same skill, but why is there such a big gap..."
Shen Fei couldn't help but complain.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand.
Although Ah Lian has high talent, he is not outstanding in some of the necessary abilities for inside players.
For example, lateral movement ability, fighting ability, core strength...
Even the bounce that Yi Jianlian is most proud of in his physical fitness can only be high, but his bounce speed is average.
In the NBA, especially in the playoffs, bounce speed or explosive power is actually more important than bounce.
for example.
Regardless of whether Westbrook is standing or running, he is not among the top defenders, but he has more dunks than any point guard.
In games, we can often see Westbrook leaping into the air and smashing the ball into the opponent's inside line!
What does this rely on?
Isn’t it just bullet speed and explosive power?
With these two abilities, players can quickly complete dunks in a short time and in a small area.
Yi Jianlian has excellent jumping ability, but rarely has wonderful dunks in the NBA.
Basically, fans can only see UAE's outstanding jumping ability when facing an empty basket on a fast break.
In normal sports battles, Yi Jianlian can only rely on the [Lewis shooting bag] to provide firepower from the outside.
But currently, there are many three-point experts in the Rockets, and it is not difficult to understand why the UAE does not get many opportunities to play.
But Shen Fei doesn't want the UAE to miss such a good training opportunity in the playoffs.
"It's not easy to force Mark Jackson to increase Yi Jianlian's playing time..."
Shen Fei murmured.
He has always been strong and has always been one of the best in the team, but this does not mean that he will help players through the back door.
If you want Yi Jianlian to get more playing time, there is only one way, and that is to continue to enhance his strength.
[There is one skill pack left, maybe give it to Yi Jianlian...]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
Not only must this be done, but it must be done quickly.
If a suitable skill package can be drawn to quickly improve Yi Jianlian's strength, then he will be able to "level up" in the next playoffs!
As soon as he thought about this, Shen Fei immediately called out the system in his mind and selected one of the [S-level random star skill packs].
The first is location selection.
Yi Jianlian basically played the fourth position, and Shen Fei decisively chose the "power forward" position, and then opened the [Random Star Skill Pack].
The next moment, an open box appeared in front of his eyes.
A ball of light appears above the box.
Soon, highlights of the major star power forwards in NBA history were played on it like a revolving door.
Kemp's beast slam dunk, Garnett's commanding defense, Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independence...
As time goes by, the picture plays faster and faster, and finally it is difficult to see clearly what is being played.
"Ding!"
The picture finally freezes, with a figure standing in the brilliance.
Shen Fei took a closer look and saw that it was Rodman wearing Bulls jersey No. 91!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the star skill - [Rodman's fighting ability]"
"After using it, players will have the fighting ability of Rodman in the 1995-1998 season."
"All relevant factors, ranging from rebounding ability, defensive ability, observation ability, dynamic vision, etc., will be infinitely close to Rodman in the 1995-1998 season."
The system explained to Shen Fei in an emotionless metallic voice.
After listening to the introduction, Shen Fei was extremely happy.
He is so lucky!
Rodman's fighting ability can be said to perfectly meet Yi Jianlian's needs.
This is the man who helped Jordan complete his second three consecutive championships!
If Michael Jordan is the god of basketball, then Rodman is the "devil" in the basketball world!
He can not take a shot for an entire game, but he can use defense and rebounds to influence the direction of the game.
Even in the last year of his career (2000), the 39-year-old Rodman still averaged 14 rebounds per game!
It can be said that just relying on this rebounding ability is enough for Ah Lian to have a foothold in the Rockets.
Coupled with Rodman's superior one-on-one defense, Shen Fei can even foresee Yi Jianlian taking over the starting position from Griffin!
[This lottery can be said to be a miracle... It is not so much that I have won a single skill, but rather that I have drawn all of Rodman's abilities.]
Shen Fei sighed in his heart.
And the main task he is currently doing is to make Under Armor comparable to Nike. The [SSS-level star skill package] in the reward is just a copy of all the abilities of a player.
It can be said that Shen Fei relied on his incredible luck to directly "upgrade" his skill pack this time!
Yi Jianlian's original talent and excellent three-point shooting ability, Rodman's fighting ability...
Such a power forward is simply terrifying!
[What kind of sparks will this type of Arab League collide with Nowitzki?]
Shen Fei was extremely curious.
So he immediately took out his mobile phone and wanted to dial Ah Lian's number.
But Shen Fei changed his mind and thought, the Rockets will play tomorrow, and it is not appropriate to let the Arab League come out now.
[Then let’s play again after the game tomorrow...]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
............
The next day, Toyota Center Arena.
The second battle between the Rockets and Thunder is coming as scheduled!
