"Charles, can you tell me why the Rockets were able to suppress the score so low? In fact, everyone was very optimistic about the Rockets before the game." Kenny Smith, as an old Rocket, also boasted about the Rockets before the game.
It would end the Celtics' winning streak, but in fact the Rockets were beaten badly.
Barkley first teased Smith, and then said sternly: "The Celtics are very strong. I don't deny this, but the reason why it is like this is because of several reasons. First of all, Van Gundy has a strong relationship with Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming."
There are some problems with the use of Van Gundy. Van Gundy can be said to be a master in defense, but he seems to still have a lot to go in terms of offense. You can see that the Rockets players do not have enough offensive space. Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady
The two All-Stars are almost cut off from each other, and his favorite point guard Sula, I think, is useless except for grabbing rebounds. The opponent's second substitute West is more of a point guard than him. My idea is
Now let Tyronn Lue's speed tear up the Celtics' space and give Tracy McGrady and Jimmy Jackson more comfortable shooting opportunities. This will also make the Celtics afraid to double-team Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
You should play more inside, and if you don't have a chance, you should make sudden points. If you keep making sudden points, sudden points... you will find that gaps are created."
In fact, Van Gundy did not do this. What he did was let Yao Ming open up from the inside, thereby relieving the pressure on the outside.
Birdman Anderson went to guard Yao Ming alone at the beginning of the second half, but the actual effect was not ideal. No matter how good this blue-collar record is in the defensive field, a blue-collar is a blue-collar. Occasionally guarding O'Neal for one game will make Ben famous.
history, and if O'Neal can be guarded every game, then he may become the contemporary Bill Russell. This is unrealistic. The superstar will have changes in tactics and strategies after his own adjustments, which will definitely make blue-collar workers
Deflated.
Yao Ming did just that. At the beginning of the second half, Yao Ming first scored two points with a hook shot, then turned around and dunked again. His shot was fouled by Anderson's thug, and he made two free throws.
6 points.
Seeing his performance, Rivers could no longer sit idly by and sent Milicic on. In addition, in order to cooperate with Milicic's offense, Rivers replaced Al Jefferson and replaced him with Kersty.
Oddly enough, the twin-tower tactic was formed.
Milicic and Krstic's double center tactic was used a lot in Serbia and Montenegro. Yao Ming looked at the two players on the field and said with a smile: "I don't know, I thought it was in the Olympics. You two look at it."
It sounds so familiar."
Milicic also smiled and said: "Although the result remains unchanged, my side will still win, but you will definitely not get so many points in this game."
"Are you sure? My teammates are different. I have the best scoring guy in the league as my teammate."
"That's right, but I need to remind you. You are different as a teammate, and I am different myself." After finishing speaking, Milicic confidently ran to the free throw line and received Fisher's
After Er's pass, Milicic made a gesture to break inward. Uncle Huo just lowered his center of gravity a little, and Milicic had already taken action. At this time, Uncle Huo wanted to make up for it and jumped up to block the shot, but he just jumped.
When he got up, he realized that he was wrong. Milicic had just made a shooting action. The ball did leave the palm of his hand, but he used the power of his fingers to grab the ball back. This was inseparable from the original Rashi.
Following De Wallace's guidance on strength training of his fingers and wrists, Milicic has been persisting in training the strength of his fingers and wrists for more than half a year.
Milicic lowered his center of gravity and directly passed through the already shaken Uncle Huo. He took off two steps from the free throw line. Yao Ming jumped up to block the shot. Before the hands of the two people touched, their bodies collided first.
When they got together, the referee's whistle sounded, Yao Ming blocked the foul, and when Milicic fell backward, he flicked his wrist and the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.
"2+1! Milicic hit 2+1 again!" Kenny Smith roared, "Maybe many people don't know that Milicic has completed 2+1 a total of 72 times this season, and he even wanted to
He is ahead of the second-placed James by 31 times, not counting his three 3+1s. If all were included, this guy might end the NBA's extra penalty record this season."
"Hey man, I don't think you need to be so excited. You have to know that Milicic does this kind of thing every night, but you know, I also do this kind of thing. This requires you to have good breakthrough skills and
A strong ability to attack the basket, and you also need to have a good finisher ability. Another very important thing is your free throws. Shaq has done 2+0 many times, but the number of 2+1 is really
It's too little, but this time Milicic hasn't completed the extra penalty yet, why are you so happy so early?"
"Can I still expect a player with a free throw percentage of over 85 to miss regularly?"
"Good shot! Boy, you should fucking play like this!!" Rivers roared from the sidelines. This shot made Yao Ming's morale that had just been boosted be suppressed by Milicic.
Milicic made the free throw steadily.
Here Yao Ming wanted to get one back on the offensive end. When he finally squeezed Milicic away through physical combat with all his strength, as soon as he took action, he only saw a figure in front of him, Tony Allen.
It came out empty-handed and gave Yao Ming a flat-framed hat.
The ball was fanned far away and flew out of the sideline.
"This is Boston's defense!" Tony Allen roared loudly. If Milicic's attack just now dampened Yao Ming's momentum when he scored 6 points in a row, then Tony Allen's attack
A big hat tells Houstonians in a more iron-blooded way that scoring is not that easy.
In the next game, the teams with the same inside and outside duo began to fight hand-to-hand. In the end, the Celtics won the game with a score of 89 to 77.
Tracy McGrady scored 33 points but had no assists. Yao Ming had 22 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Celtics were relatively average, with Pierce 21 points and Milicic 19 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.
From the beginning, the Celtics were not afraid of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming's scoring. What they really defended was the connection between players. The Rockets only had 12 assists, so they had no reason not to lose in this game.
Milicic also proved himself in this battle of centers that he can not fall behind when facing Yao Ming. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
