Chapter 320: Appearing for the first time, the Flower Planters playoff derby!
May 1st, Labor Day.
Under the arrangement of the coaching staff, all the Lakers players came to the tactical room together to watch the G6 game between the Rockets and Trail Blazers. They all held laptops in their hands so that they could check information and short videos at any time.
I won’t mention the information. This short video is open to the public. Wouldn’t it have a bad impact? Is it a new show? Can you please post the information?
They are all videos of the competition, where do you want to go?
Oh, the game!
Is there really no information about the Landlord Competition?
…
At the beginning of the first quarter, Su Bei's eyes were deeply attracted by Artest's body.
hiss--!
Artest, who only knows how to play with his body, actually plays point forward?
After watching it for a while, I found that his passing ability was indeed not very good, but he used his body to get into the basket at every turn. He was surrounded by one-on-three, and he drove in and out without missing a beat.
This body beating, if the league gives a whistle to a star, is definitely no worse than James's.
Although the strength attribute has reached level A, Su Bei feels that his body is too poor.
Then, the eyes fell on Yao Ming, who was also very strong in post-up shooting.
But after Alston was traded to the Magic, there were only one and a half players left who could pass the ball to Yao Ming.
One is Shane Battier and half is Scola.
Brooks can only make breakthroughs without thinking, and he can't force the pass. He can hit the ball with a pass.
He is 183 himself, and he also passes the ball and hits the ground at such a high speed that before Yao Ming even bends down to catch the ball, the basketball has already flown out of bounds or made a mistake in the hands of his opponent.
Yao Ming was really playing as a role player. He was bypassed or flanked and couldn't catch the ball. The most eye-catching performance in the first quarter was that he fell twice, and the rest was defensive blocking.
Sure enough, there was a reason why the Rockets in the 2008/09 season couldn't find their offensive core at critical times.
Don't ask, it means all the people are soldiers.
Yao Ming can also be used as an engineer!
However, the Rockets' bench was really strong. They beat the Trail Blazers 31-18 in the second quarter, sealing the victory in G6.
The Rockets did not have to wait until the second half and endure the hidden danger of a late comeback, they simply defeated the Trail Blazers and advanced to the second round again after 12 years.
The Trail Blazers are still too young and have been taught a lesson by the Rockets.
After the game, it was also very interesting to look at the Rockets' player statistics. Slako, Yao Ming, Artest and Brooks all scored 15 points each.
Battier and Weaver each scored 10 points, rounding off the score.
From this point of view, the team coached by Adelman really does not need star players, but only team players.
…
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is May 4th, Youth Day.
The night is sultry. At this time, the Staples Center Arena is about to hold the 2008/09 season playoff semifinals, the Lakers VS Rockets G1 game. The lights are bright and there is a sea of people.
During warm-ups, Kobe and Yao Ming chatted for a few cents, and then Artest joined.
Finally, the final chat was between Su Bei and Yao Ming.
The first derby game of the playoffs is worth talking about.
Everyone, Su Bei didn't say anything for Yao Ming to talk leisurely about. If he did, it would probably be treated as trash talk, so there's no need for it.

At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Rockets' top five, Yao Ming, Scola, Artest, Battier, Brooks.
Lakers 5 players, Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game was broadcast live on TNT. Barkley teamed up with Kenny Smith and invited Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to form a commentary team.
"In this series, the Rockets are not favored. The Lakers are a mature team, which is different from young rookies like the Trail Blazers.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
In contrast, the Rockets entered the second round for the first time in the Yao-Mai era, and they were the real rookies.
Just like the prediction, I’m also betting on a 3-7 opener, with the Lakers at 7 and the Rockets at 3.”
"The Rockets have the Princeton system, and the Lakers have the triangle offense system.
The Rockets have a strong bench, and the Lakers have a rotation that makes them rich.
The Rockets have a poor version of their Big Three, and the Lakers also have a Big Three, but they are a wealthy version.
The Rockets have everyone's soldiers, and the Lakers also play everyone's soldiers, plus superstar basketball style.
The Rockets have injury risks. The Lakers had them last season and they have them this season too. Kobe shot with eight fingers and Bynum only returned in April. Fortunately, everyone is here.
The Rockets have a tradition of collapsing in the final quarter, and the Lakers have a tradition of undermining Kobe Bryant's teammates, which has now been corrected.
The Rockets have the famous coach Adelman, who has zero championship rings on his hand. The Lakers have the best coach Philson, who already has ten championship rings on his finger.
The winning percentage is 30 to 70, but I wonder how the so-called basketball commentator got the data?
In my opinion, I don't know how the Lakers can lose this series?
This season's Lakers are a unique team in the Western Conference and are not on the same level as other teams."
"Well, I don't know how to explain it after you pointed it out like this.
According to internal information from the Lakers, coach Jackson is planning to use the twin towers inside to flank Yao Ming.
This is the only possible winning point to defeat the Rockets!
Without Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming being targeted, the talent of this Rockets team is indeed difficult to pose a threat to the current invincible Lakers team, unless some miracle happens..."
The game begins!
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball up. Yao Ming defeated Bynum and scored the first offense for the Rockets.
"Brooks controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Fisher pressed closely, and immediately distributed the ball to Artest. Su Bei interfered closely, and Fisher came to help defend.
Artest passed the ball to Brooks and quickly passed the ball to Battier..."
The Rockets are in position 32, with Brooks, Artest and Battier forming a triangle on the outside.
Scola and Yao Ming were separated on the left and right sides of the paint area. Battier received the ball and moved with Yao Ming and Brooks to form a triangle offense.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, if Yao Ming is bypassed and cannot catch the basketball, he will pull out from the outside. If Bynum extends the defense, Battier can break through with the ball.
However, Bynum is now stuck by Yao Ming, and Battier passes the ball in.
"At the beginning of the first quarter, the double-tower pincer attack arranged by Jackson before the game did not take place.

【】
We still need to see if Bynum can try to defend Yao Ming alone..."
If possible, there would be no need for the so-called pincer battle.
Yao Ming caught the ball and hit it with his back, squeezed forward twice, swayed his shoulders slightly and turned around. Just as he raised the ball and wanted to take a shot, Bynum's right hand had already hit Yao Ming's hand.
“Beep——!
You'll die if you try. Bynum fouled after just one look, sending Yao Ming to the free throw line..."
Yao Ming's free throw is a question of giving points.
He took the shot despite the boos, made two swishes, and made two free throws, opening up the scoring account for the Rockets.
2 to 0!
Subei played soy sauce and the Rockets played as a team. Even though Artest was facing off, there was still not much defensive drama.
Back to the offensive round, the Lakers attack.
The first choice is naturally Kobe.
"Catch the ball and set up an offensive three-threat, and Battier followed up.
After Kobe took a step, he started to charge forward. Battier fought and retreated, blocking Kobe's path, ready to move forward at any time to create a man... no, to create a foul.
They are all foxes of thousands of years, don’t let me do this!
Seeing through Battier's little thought, Kobe turned his back. Just when Battier was preparing his body to carry it, Kobe had already completed a quick turn, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Battier reacted quickly and quickly flew over, reaching out to cover Kobe's eyes.
In the entire series of offense and defense, it can be said that Battier used every opportunity to make every move, responded very promptly, and defended very well and brilliantly.
But, with a swish sound, he raised the knife and dropped it, and Kobe shot down two points in a fluid motion.
2 to 2!
"Kobe Bryant praised Battier for his strong defense and he was the defensive player he least liked to play against.
But every time he met Battier, Kobe always scored high points.
Do you think this is possible? What Kobe said sounds nice, but he is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. When facing the Rockets, Battier still defends alone!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Battier's defensive skills are obvious to all, and small defensive skills are really difficult to deal with.
And Kobe is paranoid, so he can’t have that kind of IQ, right?”
"Isn't Kobe afraid of technical skills?
Shane Battier’s dog-skin plaster-style defense is ineffective..."
This is a mystery!
"In the Rockets' offensive round, Brooks dribbled the ball across half court.
In this round, he chose to break through by himself, and Scola came over to cover. He was still able to break through the Lakers' zone defense and pass the ball to Scola.
Gasol defended, Scola quickly passed the ball, Artest received the ball and used his body to grind into the inside, Su Bei fought and retreated..."
One person cannot stand up to Artest, his body is too tough and too incomprehensible.
Break all laws with one force!
The Lakers' defense piled people in front of Artest, got to the basket, and Artest made a layup... No, he passed the ball.
"Under the basket, Yao Ming caught the ball, jumped up, and shot a two-pointer from close range..."
Swish——!
The mid-range shot, which is more stable than a dunk, is still open. It cannot be said to be similar to the point-sending question, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
4 to 2!
"Yao Ming started well and scored all the Rockets' points.
Yao Ming, who has physical fitness, is still very brave offensively. After all, it is the first quarter.

【】
Yao Ming was a superstar in the first quarter, and this is recognized."
On the court, Su Bei rubbed his chest and felt that Artest's body was made of steel and iron bones.
No wonder it can break several of Qiao Shen's breastbones.
Fortunately, Su Bei retreated reluctantly.
In the offensive round, Kobe caught the ball, and Battier clung to it like candy.
It was Kobe who was a teammate in the CBA. No matter how hard Battier pressed, Kobe would take advantage of him. Even if he was just hanging around outside, he felt it was the best offensive option.
Now you can throw away this basic operation and choose to distribute the ball to Su Bei and engage in a triangle offensive team battle.
"Fischer and Su Bei played an outside cut and ran to the right corner.
Huh?
What a fat thing!
The body of Little Potato Brooks 183 was placed in front of Su Bei. Without any forward movement, Su Bei pulled it out and ejaculated..."
With a defensive disadvantage of 183, for Su Bei's operation, one can only listen to the gunshot and bet that Su Bei's three-pointers are not accurate.
Swish——!
"Yes!
The Rockets are in danger, Su Bei's three-pointer scored."
"The Rockets' defensive flaws are too obvious.
Yao Ming is too slow, Brooks is too short, point guard and center are the cutest in height, so what can I use to defend against?
The shots are accurate, and the Rockets' defense is at risk of falling apart."
