The Heat's lineup is incomplete, and most of the team's offense must be shouldered by Dwyane Wade. Although the Lakers are missing Odom, their lineup is relatively complete. In the first quarter, Kobe Bryant
He was not eager to take shots to score points, but acted like a very ordinary shooting guard. He would only choose to take shots himself when he got enough open shooting opportunities, and at other times he would choose to distribute the basketball to his teammates.
Adrian originally wanted to follow Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement and push more offense inside. However, less than five minutes into the game, this plan had to be modified. Because Andrew Bynum was under Wade's
Under the impact, he quickly fell into foul trouble and received his second foul in the fourth minute of the first quarter.
In order to avoid Bynum being unable to play due to too many fouls in the next game, he had to be replaced and replaced with Kwame Brown.
In this case, Adrian couldn't help but hesitate whether he should continue to play inside tactics. Although Bynum's offense is still under development, hooks, mid-range shots, and post-up steps are all very unstable.
Sound, but at least it's there. Compared to Bynum, Kwame's defense is stronger, but his offensive power is almost negligible, except for the catch and dunk under the basket, and the second time he grabbed the offensive rebound.
Apart from offense, he has almost no other offensive methods. His back-up steps are a joke. If he can control the ball behind his back without making mistakes, it is considered an excellent performance. The situation of another person, Ronny Turiaf, is similar.
, the defense is strong and the attack is weak, and the active attack power is almost zero.
Two insiders with stronger defensive abilities than offensive abilities were put on the court. It was obviously inappropriate to attack inside at this time. Adrian couldn't help but cast his eyes on Phil Jackson on the sidelines, only to find that he was an old man.
Sitting in his seat, he didn't even look at the court. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the ceiling of the American Airlines Center, as if there was something up there that could attract him.
"This lazy old man!" He was complaining in his mind about Phil Jackson's laziness and irresponsibility. Without any instructions, Adrian simply made his own decision. In this case, the interior offensive tactic was obviously no longer appropriate.
, the focus of offense must shift to the outside!
While making up his mind, Adrian chose to take action himself. His shoulders shook slightly, slightly shifting Payton's center of gravity. Then Adrian suddenly accelerated to the right and broke through, 'glove' Payton's defensive opponent.
Adrian poses no threat, because the physical gap is really too big. Not to mention that at this time, Gary Payton's physical fitness is declining as he gets older. Even in Payton's heyday, he
There is no way to defend Adrian, one is 203 centimeters, the other is 193 centimeters, one is 181 pounds, and the other is 240 pounds.
Adrian has gained weight recently, gaining more than ten pounds compared to when he first entered the league. Don’t doubt that these ten pounds are solid muscles, and they are definitely not fat.
Fat, although it seems that he has not become stronger, his weight has indeed increased, and his speed has not slowed down because of this. On the contrary, with day after day of training, his explosive power has improved.
a certain degree of growth.
The purpose is to increase the destructive power when breaking through and the offensive power in the low position. In these two aspects, the speed is the same and the physical fitness is almost the same. There is no doubt that the heavier player has the advantage, even though it is only more than ten pounds heavier.
, but the destructive power of Adrian's breakthrough increased more than a little.
Gary Payton followed Adrian's footsteps and at the same time puffed out his chest and bumped into Adrian. He wanted to use this kind of physical contact to slow down Adrian's breakthrough speed, but...
At the moment of the collision, Gary Payton felt an unstoppable huge force rushing toward him. He suddenly lost control of his center of gravity and slipped!
"Oops!"
Gary Payton suddenly panicked and tried hard to control his body's center of gravity, but he sadly found that no matter what he did, he could no longer restore his fallen center of gravity.
"Pa~" Gary Payton sat down on the ground, and Adrian rushed into the interior like an armored vehicle at full power.
Walker jumped as hard as he could toward Adrian, and at the same time opened his hands and slapped the basketball in Adrian's hand, but he soon discovered that something was wrong... Adrian jumped too high, even though he took off with all his strength, but Adrien
Derian was still a head taller than him, his arms raised high like a tomahawk, eager to drink blood!
The bodies of the two people collided in the air, but Adrian, who was obviously lighter, was not affected. Instead, he took this opportunity to straighten his waist and let himself jump up a few centimeters in the air!
Fear appeared in Anthony Walker's eyes, and he instinctively curled up his body. He had already predicted what would happen next, and he... really didn't want to be included in today's sports report in such a way.
middle.
"Clang!"
It's a pity that Anthony Walker was unable to stop him! When Adrian's arm was like a fierce tomahawk, he brought the basketball and hit the basket hard. Anthony Walker knew that he was going to appear in the highlight of today's top five goals.
Among them, and the ranking may not be low.
A fierce and violent dunk!
The one who dunked was Anthony Walker, the former All-Star power forward!
In the press box on the sidelines, there was a loud sound of the shutter being pressed, and the flashing spotlights illuminated Anthony Walker's face, which looked strangely pale.
This is not the first time in his career that he has been dunked, and it probably won't be the last time. But this is the first time in his life that he has been dunked by a rookie!
On the other side, Gary Payton, who had just been knocked to the ground by Adrian on defense, pestered the referee and complained endlessly that Adrian's breakthrough was a foul. But the referee firmly shook his head.
Although Adrian's breakthrough seemed rough, according to the rules, Adrian did not do any dangerous actions such as shoulder sinking or elbow raising, so the foul was naturally unclaimable. The replays on the big screen at the scene further proved it.
From the referee's point of view, although Adrian's breakthrough was violent, it was very clean violence.
Gary Payton was knocked to the ground only because he was weak in confrontation, but he did not overestimate his own capabilities. To be precise, it was Gary Payton who was suspected of committing a foul. Through the replay on the big screen, everyone can see it.
Gary Payton's hand movements were not clean and he secretly pulled Adrian's arm while defending.
The referee insisted on upholding the original decision, which made Gary Payton very dissatisfied. However, he did not dare to rely on his old tricks and continue to complain. If he received a technical foul because of this, he would suffer a big loss.
However, it is absolutely impossible for Gary Payton to swallow this breath.
Gary Payton, after all, is also a long-established All-Star player in the league. When he competed with Jordan and scolded Miller in the NBA, many young players today have just learned what basketball is all about. What if he
If he suffers a loss from a certain league superstar, then it's not like he can't swallow this sigh of relief.
But he actually suffered a loss from a rookie!
Gary Payton obviously can't accept this!
"Boy, do you really think you can do whatever you want? Do you want Uncle Payton to teach you the rules? You are a newbie who doesn't understand the rules. I'm going to get over you now, just like a wooden stake. Let you see.
What is technology?" Coming to the frontcourt, Gary Payton dribbled the ball while spitting his own saliva.
