The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 188 187. Destroying Warcraft (Tip and Add More)2900 words

"Yao, although you have done well enough, the team needs you to stand up and take more responsibilities in this game."

"You know the current situation of the team. Even though Dwight's personal defensive ability is really good, the team has to let you make more offensive shots."

"I will try to allocate your playing time in the second half, but I hope you can put more pressure on the Magic every second you are on the court."

"You need to be a little bit more decisive on the court, and once the Magic double-teams you, you can get the ball out and let someone else finish."

Hearing Adelman's words, Dayao also nodded resolutely but resignedly.

Regarding these words, in fact, Yao Ming's ears are almost calloused in almost every game that is regarded as a headwind this season.

No wonder Adelman always repeats these meaningless nonsense, because for today's Rockets, this is no way, and this is the best choice for the remnant Rockets.

Many people in later generations will question why Adelman's usage rate of Yao Ming was so high back then, allowing him to rank among the top three in the league in both offense and defense.

He even aggressively asked Adelman on the Internet, "Don't you know that with Yao Ming's height and weight, if you use him like this, it will cause great potential injury to his body?!"

In fact, regarding these remarks, as the head coach, Adelman knows better than others in his heart, but he has absolutely nothing to do.

Because with the current lineup of the Rockets, if Yao Ming's possession of the ball at both ends of the offense and defense is not used extensively, then relying on the offensive and defensive capabilities of others, the Rockets may have already fallen to the bottom of the Western Conference.

So for Adelman, relying on Yao Ming is really helpless.

At least compared to the later Jeff Van Gundy, Adelman's use of Yao Ming is actually very reasonable. At least he has kept him away from the restricted area to the greatest extent, thus ensuring Yao Ming's physical health.

"Carl, after the second half, I hope your desire to attack the basket becomes stronger."

"I don't need you to do too many things on the court, but remember, you must have the position of the basket in your eyes!!"

It can be said that Carl Landry's playing style this season has a lot to do with coach Adelman's training direction for him.

Because for Adelman, in addition to ensuring that the team can play smooth Princeton tactics, there must always be a point-grabbing weapon on the bench.

For this kind of players, they don't need to blindly play according to the tactics after playing, they just need to use their personal abilities to try to hand over as many points as possible.

That was the case with the gorgeous Kings coached by Adelman, and it is the same with the broken Rockets now.

It can be said that for these veteran coaches, their tactical play and employment philosophy have already been completely finalized, and it is basically impossible to make too many changes.

After returning from the second half, Yao Ming also stood near the free throw line to observe according to the tactical arrangement.

However, for the Rockets' running position off the ball, the Magic have obviously taken great precautions after returning in the second half.

At least it's not like the two players often collided with each other because of the off-ball pick-and-roll at the beginning, which gave the Rockets more opportunities.

Seeing that his teammates couldn't run out of position quickly, Yao Ming glanced at Howard who was a certain distance away from him in front of him.

Dayao thought for a while, and then directly made a mid-range shot.

The shot of this ball can be said to be very sudden, so that Howard couldn't react immediately to defend.

Because throughout the first half, most of Yao Ming's shots came from the strong attack under the basket and the turnaround jump shot near the reasonable collision zone, and the shots directly pulled up from the middle distance were definitely very few.

So when Yao Ming continued to stand in this position to support, Howard also had obvious carelessness, thinking that Yao Ming would still focus on tactical passing, but he did not expect Yao Ming to throw the ball so firmly.

"Shu~"

53:50

After scoring the goal, Dayao also clenched his fists excitedly, then raised his arms and made a cheering gesture for himself.

Stan Van Gundy yelled at Howard in dissatisfaction when he saw how easily Yao Ming scored a goal right after the game started.

After all, Howard in this period often has inactive and inactive performances on the court, and this kind of performance is quite helpless even as the head coach Stan Van Gundy.

After all, Howard is currently the hottest star in the league, so in the face of this inactive attitude, Van Gundy can't be too fierce, otherwise it will easily lead to violent conflicts between the two.

But he can't say nothing and let him continue to sleepwalk on the court, so Howard's frequent distraction also makes Van Gundy very speechless.

The Magic were attacking, and seeing that the Rockets were still defending the second and third defenses on the defensive end after returning from the second half, Su Jiu also used Howard's pick-and-roll to continue looking for the Rockets' flaws.

It seems that Adelman would rather relax his vigilance beyond the three-point line, but also try to save Yao Ming's physical strength on the court with a two-three defense.

From this subtle scene, it is not difficult to see how important Yao Ming is to the Rockets so far.

Seeing the defensive positions of the second and third defenses, Su Jiu did not blindly pull up from the outside and throw a three-pointer. After all, this is not DeRozan's strong point, but try to find more opportunities for his teammates through the pick-and-roll method.

Once the Rockets' defense is as far as possible beyond the three-point line, then the mid-range is bound to usher in a lot of loopholes.

So the two teams are now more like a silent bet.

As the game continued, the two sides played inextricably on the court. Whether it was the Magic or the Rockets, it was difficult for the two teams to open the score on the court as soon as possible.

Especially Yao Ming, Yao Ming's playing style after he came back in the second half can be said to have undergone a very big change.

First of all, Yao Ming also played more resolutely on the offensive end, and his desire to attack became stronger.

In order to prevent Yao Ming from driving his teammates to attack too much, Van Gundy did not ask Yao Ming to flank him on the field, which also caused Yao Ming to kill all directions after returning from the third quarter.

Whether it's a back-up shot from the low post or a turnaround jumper around the three-second zone, it can be said that Howard suffered terribly.

And the scene where Howard was blown away by Yao Ming with one hand in the third quarter also made the home commentator Mark Woodson bluntly tease:

"Today, I saw that the title of the best defensive player is indeed well-deserved. Facing Yao, now that the third quarter is coming to an end, he only managed to defend against Yao's two turnaround jump shots."

"Haha, if Yao hadn't entered the league's best team this year, then I really don't know if Dwight can get the best defensive player award with peace of mind."

Partner Tom Horvath: "Indeed, first of all, Dwight's defensive ability is absolutely beyond doubt. In so many games this season, Dwight has also contributed a very perfect defensive efficiency."

"However, in this game, I am afraid that all of this will be ruthlessly broken by Yao Shengsheng, because what we have seen so far is that when facing Yao's offense, Dwight can be said to be helpless as a whole."

"Because Yao plays very smartly on the court, he will not only sit in the low post reasonably to make some strong shots, but also use his range advantage to attract Dwight to a farther place."

"And because of his excellent support pass, it also makes it difficult for other players to effectively double-team him."

"So Yao is really Dwight's big trouble this season, haha."

Under the ridicule of the on-site commentator, at the end of the third quarter, the Rockets also successfully pulled the score to:

76: 76 flat! !

在整个第三节面对着德怀特霍华德的单兵防守，姚明单节就6投4中，罚球3中3，单节砍下了11分3篮板以及2次助攻的数据。

Coupled with the game data from the first half, Yao Ming had already contributed a luxurious data of 31 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists at the end of the third quarter.

It can be said that the biggest contributor to the Rockets' ability to compete with the Magic! !

However, Warcraft Howard, who has been playing against Yao Ming, only handed over a data of 9 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block after the end of the third quarter.

And in terms of personal efficiency, it is also relatively low. In the case of 11 shots, he only scored 4 goals, and only scored [-] points with one free throw.

It can be said that in this matchup with Yao Ming, Howard in this game was simply a disaster.

Although it is said that during this period, there has been a saying on the Internet that eats, sleeps and plays Warcraft to evaluate Yao Ming.

But in fact, this sentence has only gradually spread in the Chinese basketball circle. It can be said that few people in the United States have heard this kind of evaluation.

But just today, in this game, Yao Ming used his actions to explain to people what it means to eat, sleep, and fight World of Warcraft...
