In response to the threat of Yao Ming, Skiles made a series of arrangements, including increasing Eddie Curry's singles in the paint and using offense instead of defense to consume Yao Ming. Naturally, there were also arrangements for defense. To defend Yao Ming, it was just those few sets.
Tactics, go forward, or attack from behind. The previous few minutes of the game proved that normal defense against Yao Ming is ineffective, so Skiles has now made a change. While letting Chandler go forward to defend Yao Ming, other teammates can do it at any time.
Prepare to double team.
The idea of the entire defensive strategy is to try not to let Yao Ming get the ball. If Yao Ming gets the ball, prepare to steal the ball when Yao Ming dribbles hard. If these two attempts are unsuccessful, then admit it and let Yao Ming get the ball.
Let's vote for Yao Ming. Whether he makes it or not depends on God's will.
After making this series of arrangements, Scales was actually still uneasy. He glanced at Eddy Curry who seemed to understand, and Scales also sighed.
If your team has an inside man who can attack and defend, and Chen Jie on the outside, when Hinrich, Rur and Deng come back, this will definitely be a championship-level lineup.
But, where can you find such an insider?
Skiles searched the league several times and could not find a center who had such strength and could be traded.
In fact, if you think about it, it's true. Centers are very scarce these days. Whoever's team has a useful center who can attack and defend will not trade it out in a stupid way!
Sighing, Scales felt that he was a little delusional.
After the timeout, the Bulls' offense, according to Scales' arrangement, Duhong did not pass the ball to Chen Jie, but passed it to Eddie Curry who was trying to get a position inside.[
Eddie Curry catches the ball, and he hasn't been taken so seriously in a long time.
After playing so many games, Eddy Curry was very excited to become the protagonist again.
Seeing his teammates, Chandler was ready to fight for rebounds. Chen Jie and Du Hong both moved to the weak side, and Griffin wandered to the bottom line. Everyone was creating opportunities for themselves. Eddy Curry is proud of
A sense of satisfaction and a sense of being valued arise spontaneously.
This is life!
What Eddy Curry wants to do most at the moment is smoke a cigar and drink a sip of red wine.
So refreshing!
Chen Jie's eyes turned red when he saw Eddy Curry didn't move for three seconds after taking the ball, as if he was distracted.
"Pay attention to the shot clock!" Chen Jie yelled at Eddie Curry, which could be heard halfway across the court.
Awakened by Chen Jie's roar, Eddie Curry realized that he still needed to score the ball.
Taking a look, Eddie Curry breathed a sigh of relief as he still had the basketball in his hand.
Yao Ming is so honest. He didn't steal the ball just now. What a shame.
Eddy Curry thought so. He stuck out his fat butt, trying to squeeze out some space for movement.
Yao Ming opened his hands and wrapped them tightly around Eddy Curry, preventing him from turning around!
Eddie Curry squeezed several times and felt that Yao Ming didn't even move, and he felt a little annoyed.
I complimented you just now, but this doesn’t give you face anymore.[
Eddie Curry was unhappy and swatted the ball. At the same time, he exerted his body strength and prepared to hit Yao Ming hard!
Didn't the coach also say that if you have more physical contact with Yao Ming, even if you can't cause a foul, Yao Ming will have to use up his energy.
Eddy Curry feels like he is faithfully executing his coach's tactics.
But……………………
At the moment Eddy Curry exerted his strength, he suddenly felt as if there was nothing behind him.
He originally thought that after exerting force, he would hit Yao Ming's very powerful body, but he didn't expect that what he hit would be air.
Just like an iron fist hitting cotton, Eddy Curry had no way to vent his power, and his entire body's center of gravity just lost. Then, he fell to the inside of the Rockets, and he couldn't control the basketball in his hand.
Sura quickly turned around and caught the basketball dropped by Eddy Curry and launched a fast break.
Chen Jie and others quickly returned to defense. Seeing that his teammates were not following up enough, Sura made a safe choice to press down and take up the position.
The Bulls also dropped their positions to defend. One-on-one, Du Hong half-crouched and stared at Sura.
Just when everyone thought that this attack would take more than ten seconds to end and was just beginning, Su La suddenly shook his hand and the basketball flew out. Everyone looked up and found that the person who caught the ball had just run away.
Yao Ming followed up after halftime.
After Yao Ming received the ball, there was no one in front of him to defend him. He took three steps and dunked successfully.
The attack that was supposed to fall into position came to an abrupt end.
Where is Eddie Curry?
Chen Jie, Du Hong, and others looked at each other in shock. After falling on defense, they realized that their team was missing one player. When Yao Ming scored a dunk, they realized that the missing player was Eddie Curry.
Where has this guy gone? Why can't he even keep up with Yao Ming's speed?
Chandler was the first to react. He shrugged helplessly and pointed at Chen Jie at the Rockets half.
"Negotiating with the referee over there!"
Negotiate with the referee? Negotiate for what?
Chen Jie was stunned and looked towards the Rockets half court, and found that indeed, Eddie Curry was talking to the bottom line referee with an aggrieved look on his face, and from time to time he would compare his movements. Judging from the meaning of his movements, he seemed to think that Yao Ming had just
It is a foul to remove the stool on defense.
He was telling the referee that Yao Ming just knocked him down!
Chen Jie said thoroughly, not to mention that everyone saw clearly that Yao Ming did not foul at all in the defense just now. He withdrew long before Curry exerted his strength. Even if Yao Ming committed a foul, is now the time for negotiation?
Is it better to defend first?
Chen Jie was angry and funny at the same time.
Scales couldn't help it anymore and waved to Noccioni.
Although Noccioni's playing role at this time was not as great as Eddy Curry's, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
At the decisive moment, Eddy Curry was finally replaced after two consecutive acts of stupidity.
For the remaining nearly six minutes of the game, he had no chance to play.
He was replaced by Nocchioni, who played the fourth position, and Andis, who became famous with a goal in the victory over the Celtics. A first-year rookie!
Chandler mentioned the fifth position and officially began to compete with Yao Ming on both offense and defense.
There were five minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, and the Bulls trailed by 13 points.
It seemed that the good situation that was finally regained in the second half was in vain again.
With Noccioni on the court, the Rockets actually have an advantage in terms of configuration.
Because the Bulls basically have no offensive power inside.
Noccioni is still a power forward who prefers to play outside!
Can we reverse the game by giving up the inside line and focusing on playing outside?
The answer to this question from many people is no.
