Chapter 298: Standing firm under the Princeton system!
In the second quarter, Jackson stopped trying to trick people. After all, he was so far behind that he had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to teach others why he didn't regard 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 taken a break, and even none of them are in the first-round lineup. Adelman chose to change the lineup to play, which seemed to be a sure win for 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 two teams’ bench lineups is more than a hundred million points.
The two elders, Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming, were separated because they were too old. After all, they could not keep up with the fast pace of Princeton.
Battier's injury has made 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."
"It'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. Farmar took possession of the ball and went to the frontcourt. Unexpectedly, he jumped up from the ball and made a three-point pull-up jump shot...
Brooks is known as 183. I believe you, you are a ghost. Although he is not a bad old man, he is still very bad.
Obviously you look like 178, but you still like to report it to Gao Li. I asked you how many pairs of socks you put on during the physical examination?
You said don't ask, asking is the tradition of the alliance.
Anyway, it’s a defensive disaster. 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, I 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 couldn't 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.
"Three-pointers are a must, but basketball still belongs to the Lakers.
Bynum took advantage of his height to grab an offensive rebound.
Hayes is 1.98 meters tall, and Landry is only 2.06 meters tall, which is quite watery. The Rockets' interior linemen 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 was best at rebounding, 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, sent Brooks flying, and drove the ball to the inside. Loophead rushed over to change defense. Farmar didn't like him, so he passed a back-up shot.
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 not a trace of redundancy in the entire shooting movement, and the movement is 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, and his performance was worse than that of Su Bei. Unexpectedly, the situation of both sides was completely different."
"Then let's look at the Rockets offense.
There was nothing to guess. Brooks rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, started, and accelerated 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 wiped out 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 iron.
Brooks' opportunity came out. The Lakers' defense was not stable due to the blitz, but the shot was too fast, but it was not stable either.
Shooting at close range may seem like a question to get points, but in fact it's still a matter of luck.
"The Rockets had no chance to grab offensive rebounds and quickly returned to defense after failing to score.
Odom grabbed the backboard, passed the ball to Farmar, dribbled the ball across half court, and waited for his teammates to get into position.
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, so 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 made 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, this tactic of grabbing points is not outrageous.
To say it's outrageous, it's also outrageous for the head coach of the Rockets to actually send two short men in the paint. He's seeking his own death!"
"Perhaps Adelman himself has no choice.
The Rockets are always only willing to spend money on Yao Mai. Other players cannot make money, so they can naturally save money when they can.
The flaw in the lineup is a flaw.
Just don’t know?
Do you think it's possible that in the first quarter of the game, Coach Jackson arranged for Bynum to frequently attack Yao Ming with the offensive skills of a three-legged cat? Was it a war of attrition?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty.
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, cuts, and blows?
This is a conspiracy under the crushing 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 in a Landlord fight. 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 despicable way of playing is really frustrating to watch and just looking for scolding.
However, to a certain extent, it still has some effect.
Adelman does not have this kind of awareness. He is an academic coach who likes to be upright when playing games and earns those who have nothing but a false reputation.
"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 meant 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 don't care. Compared with their offensive firepower, the Lakers really don't compare to any other team because they are not as brave as the Lakers.
The reason why we were not brave in the first quarter was just an accident and should not be counted.
"The Lakers attacked 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 was 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, raised his hand and 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 only knows how to 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 person, 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 are still continuing their 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 situation of the game returned to a back-and-forth situation. When we charged forward and faced 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 changed their lineup, Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Tracy McGrady, Alston.
Just looking at the lineups of both sides, it seems that the Rockets are not losing to the Lakers.
However, when the game is played, it is 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 the one guarding him was Farmar, who had the advantage on my street ball king’s side. 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, and Ariza was being guarded.
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——!
He struck the iron with his hands again.
Tracy McGrady's offense was lost, and Alston and Artest's offense was also lost.
Tracy McGrady went 0 for 2.
Artest went 0 for 2.
Alstom scored 0 for 3.
And Scola's 1 for 0.
Yao Ming wasn't much better, just 1-for-2. The five Tigers, composed of the Rockets' poor Big Three, returned to the court, but only played lonely.
"In the Princeton system, everyone is for me and I am for everyone. Whoever has an offensive opportunity can go.
The concept of attacking with all the people as soldiers and with 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 spot.
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?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The answer is you don’t know?
You say 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, good to everyone, and it is all the credit of the head coach.
If there is a problem, it means that the star does not fit 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 top and 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 expressive and upright, and can use gorgeous things to attract attention, making people forget that basketball is for winning games and winning 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 condition is good, everyone is like a tiger and everyone can fight, but it is very tough.
But, is it lasting..."
The reason why McGrady can get 20 million is because of your good data.
If Tracy McGrady can do it, so can everyone else. Everyone is vying to be the first and just try their best to collect data.
If you can't come out, the fault is not the role players, but the core stars. They are overpaid but low in ability and are useless at critical moments.
Anyway, playing under the Princeton system is not only wonderful, but also messy and contentious.
Once the beautiful exterior 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!
