The Spurs substitute center was beaten three times in a row by Yao, and the last one was a two-plus-one dunk. He felt so miserable. He finally got a chance to play. He thought he could perform well, but he was beaten as soon as he came up.
Dayao was so cruel that he deserved to be scolded by Mr. Bo again.
Sure enough, when the ball was dead the next time, Vicki called a timeout and cursed the Spurs' backup center so hard that he couldn't even lift his head.
"Tim, just work hard and hold on for the last two minutes." Although Vicki is famous for his bad temper and usually starts with a scolding of players, for a veteran with many battles like Duncan,
His attitude was still very gentle, "I asked Tony to replace you at the beginning of the second quarter. This can only be done now. The two of you take turns to rest. I didn't expect that after Dayao returned to the NBA, his condition was not much worse than when he was at his peak.
."
Duncan glanced at Dayao on the Rockets side and said only three words: "Don't worry."
The game restarts with the last two minutes of the first quarter.
As soon as Duncan came on the court, he had an immediate effect. Although he couldn't score against Yao, it was a bit difficult for Yao to beat him. After all, Duncan's weight was there, even though he was old and lacked strength.
But it's still okay to overpower Yao for a few minutes in the first quarter.
Dayao failed to score twice in a row, and McHale on the sidelines seemed to have no intention of adjusting.
"McHale's on-the-spot commanding ability is really not that good. He failed to score twice in a row. He didn't even have any intention to adjust. Does he want to wait until the end of the first quarter like this?" in the Xinlang live broadcast room.
, Ke Fan really couldn’t stand it anymore.
"Actually, the best way to deal with Duncan is the Heat in the 2013 Finals. Their old methods are there, but McHale doesn't know how to learn from them. I really don't know if he has another clever trick or has forgotten it," Yang Yi said.
.
At this time, at the Toyota Center, Wen Hao on the court saw that McHale had no intention of making adjustments. He immediately said to Dayao and Jones: "Jones, can you switch defense with Dayao for a while."
"Why?" Jones was puzzled, "You asked me to guard Duncan? I'm not as tall or heavy as him, so you asked me to guard him? Isn't that asking for death?"
"But you are younger than him and have better physical strength than him." Wen Hao said.
"You mean..."
"That's right, when you go to defend Duncan, you are not required to be able to guard him or score in front of him. As long as you continue to have physical confrontation with him and use your physical strength to consume him, for him who is almost 40 years old,
In the future, it will definitely be too much to bear. As long as his physical fitness is reduced, it will be easier for us."
After Jones heard this, he suddenly understood and immediately went to defend Duncan.
When the Spurs attacked, Jones kept pushing Duncan behind him. Although Duncan hit two consecutive shots, he was already a little out of breath.
As for the Rockets, with Jones restraining Duncan, Yao had room to play. In the last two minutes, he scored two goals in a row and finally made a buzzer-beater. The Rockets finally caught up with the score (tie.
The fans at Toyota Center began to cheer.
In the ** live broadcast room, Yang Yi said: "That's it, that's it. Back then, the Heat used Birdman Anderson to defend Duncan. Now the Rockets are also using this strategy. Obviously, this time
The strategy was not proposed by McHale, but by Wen Hao on the court. His thinking is not that of a normal player, but that of a player and a coach."
In the Rockets dugout, McHale welcomed the players off the court with a rare smile on his face: "Not bad, not bad, played very well, Wenhao Dayao, you continue to play in the second quarter and try to win in the first half."
Let the Spurs collapse."
Wen Hao secretly said in his heart: "How can a veteran team like the Spurs be killed with one punch?" But of course he couldn't say that on the surface. Although there were times when he would not listen to the coach's words on the court, he always had to
It's not about saving some face for the coach.
On the Spurs side, **Vic frowned, pointed at the tactical board and said to Duncan and Parker: "Tim will rest for two minutes and let Tony go up and hold on for a few minutes. Tony, I know I'll let you deal with them alone."
The Chinese combination is a bit difficult, but for these two minutes you just need to rely on your personal ability and fight with the Rockets. Even if you have completed the task, when Tim comes back, you can use pick-and-rolls to defeat them."
Needless to say, the execution ability of the Spurs. After re-entering the game in the second quarter, Parker dribbled the ball past half court. He passed Leonardo's screen, accelerated, got rid of Wen Hao, and rushed into the inside. Yao Yao
Under the double defense with Jones, he just found an opening and shot the basket. This goal was so beautiful that many Rockets fans even cheered for Parker.
"The performance of the French sports car is still so outstanding, sliding close to the ground and entering the Rockets' interior. Judging from the current backcourt of the Rockets, no one's speed is his opponent." Yang Yi said.
"Yes, if the Rockets don't flank, it will be difficult to guard Parker, but if they flank, Parker is a very good passer. In other words, it is impossible for the Rockets to make any achievements on defense. Moreover,
McHale is not a good defensive coach either, so the Rockets can only suppress Parker offensively," Ke Fan said.
Sure enough, before Ke Fan finished speaking, the Rockets began to attack. But the Rockets did not attack by Wen Hao or Jeremy Lin alone. Both of them are point guards who mainly pass the ball, so they know very well that currently
The Rockets' advantage lies in the paint. With Duncan off the court, the Rockets have a clear advantage in the paint.
So when the Rockets were on offense, Wen Hao passed the ball directly to Zai Dayao in the paint, and Dayao hit a two-point jump shot.
For the second goal, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Dayao. Dayao took two steps while sitting, and hit a hook with a half-turn. Both goals were scored with ease.
"It seems that the Spurs are relying on Parker alone to resist the entire Rockets team. This is not like Vicki's style." The commentator on the sidelines said.
"It is indeed not **Vic's style, but there is nothing we can do about it. As far as the current situation is concerned, he can only do this." Another commentator said.
"But Parker is really not the one who can do it. You can compete with the entire Rockets team as one person. It's been two minutes and you haven't lost at all. The French sports car is well-deserved."
"It is estimated that Duncan will be back soon. As long as Duncan comes back and starts a pick-and-roll with him, it will be even more unsolvable. Wenhao and Dayao alone may not be able to handle it by then, and the Rockets' modern combination is expected to come back.
"
Sure enough, before the commentator finished speaking, Vicky replaced Duncan, who had been resting for more than four minutes.
Seeing this, Wen Hao looked at McHale on the sidelines and saw McHale's eyes sweeping towards Harden and Howard. He already knew in his heart that McHale was about to be replaced.
However, how can Wen Hao be willing to be replaced like this? Being able to face Parker is his dream battle, how can he be replaced at this time?
And if you want to avoid being replaced, there is only one way - use a strong performance to dispel McHale's idea of substituting.
