I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 282 Sublimation of Temperament

Game start.

The idea of ​​the Nuggets' attack was very obvious, and they launched a fierce attack towards the Rockets' basket as soon as they came up.

Billups shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc, JR Smith made a three-pointer from the bottom line, and Anthony might shoot a three-pointer from any position.

However, under the tight defense of the Rockets, these three-pointers were barely shot, and they were all "hard shots". They were either long shots or short shots.

The Rockets played extremely calmly, without arrogance or rashness, and played steadily. Every attack was fully organized and delivered, and every defense was extremely well organized.

I have to say that the series with the Lakers sublimated the Rockets' game temperament.

A team's technical and tactical strength is difficult to change, but the improvement of mental strength can greatly improve the strength.

As the saying goes, consciousness has a huge active effect on matter.The game temperament is invisible and intangible, but it does exist.

The Lakers are dressed in purple and gold, elegant and luxurious; the Pistons are iron-blooded and rock-solid; the Celtics are old and strong, mature and spicy; the Knicks are chaotic and funny... These are the temperament of the team. It is the DNA engraved in the bones.

In the past, weakness and losing the chain have always been synonymous with the Rockets. There is even a joke that "the Rockets have never lost the chain at critical moments."

But after the end of this round of the series, the Rockets completely dropped the labels of "weakness" and "infighting". They relied on solidarity and bloody struggle to kill the strongest team in the league.

McGrady has changed from a self-centered lone wolf to a team player who is willing to serve as a green leaf for the team; Reckless and reckless, he played the role of a veteran player.

Dorsey is getting better and better, and has faintly become the leader of the new generation of players; Brooks has gradually learned to brake, and Lowry's outside shots are becoming more and more accurate...

Everyone is getting better, it's like parts of a precision instrument, each part has been intensively repaired and maintained, and when combined together, the entire machine runs more efficiently and smoothly.

What the Nuggets encountered was such an upgraded version of the Rockets PLUS.

The current Rockets cannot be measured by their performance in the regular season at all, just like they were swept by the Lakers 4:0 in the regular season, but now they come back 4:3.

The Nuggets' three-pointers were dry and thunderous, which gave the Rockets a lot of opportunities to counterattack.

Among them, protecting the backboard is the key.

Originally, people thought that Yao Ming was not on the court, and the Rockets were at a disadvantage in height inside, so they should suffer a lot in rebounding.

But the real situation is completely different from the imagination. Although Martin and Nene are two famous "jumping men", they met a better jumping Dorsey.

And Dorsey can not only jump, but is also a good player at the basket.He is very good at using his body, using his strong back and butt to firmly jam opponents on the outside, and he can grab rebounds with almost no effort to jump.

In the 58th second, Dorsey stuck Nene and grabbed a defensive rebound;
At 1 minute and 35 seconds, Dorsey beat Martin and took off the defensive rebound again;
At 2 minutes and 13 seconds, Dorsey grabbed an offensive rebound under the attack of Nene and Martin;

At 3 minutes and 26 seconds, Anthony missed a three-pointer and Dorsey grabbed a defensive rebound again
……

Before the end of the first quarter, Dorsey had 8 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds!
Dorsey can not only grab rebounds, but also play fast breaks.

At 4 minutes and 22 seconds, Billups broke through for a layup. Under the interference of McGrady, the ball bounced out of the frame. Dorsey once again grabbed a defensive rebound in the battle with Nene.

After grabbing the ball, he immediately passed the ball to McGrady, and then rushed forward immediately.

Nene wanted to chase after him, but Dorsey left him so far behind that he couldn't even touch Dorsey's hair.

It's not just Nene who can't catch up.The other Nuggets couldn't run away from Dorsey, and only JR Smith, who fell at the end of the Nuggets basket, was left with a horrified face, watching Dorsey running like a wild buffalo.

McGrady's pass was very good, and a long pass was sent directly from the backcourt throughout most of the half, and it was accurately handed over to Dorsey.

Dorsey catches the ball, takes a step, and flies up.

JR Smith was not reconciled to slaying with his neck up, and jumped up vigorously, trying to block the shot.

Dorsey and Smith were direct opponents in this year's slam dunk contest, and now they are once again attacking and defending, competing at the basket again.

But obviously, Dorsey's slam dunk contest is well-deserved. He jumped higher and stronger, coupled with super sprint inertia, he was simply unstoppable.

Dorsey made a one-armed giant loop in the air, swung it round and slammed towards the basket.

"boom"

The ball slammed into the basket behind Smith, across Smith.

The basket trembled violently, and the hearts of the audience trembled!
In this attack, Dorsey grabbed a backcourt rebound, ran for a fast break, and dunked every other person, all in one go, extremely smooth.

This kind of counterattack happened many times in a row on the field, and the Nuggets had a headache and couldn't prevent it at all.

Athletic ability cannot be compensated by tactics and will.

If the Nuggets played steadily and were not so eager to attack, there would not be such a big hole behind them, but they wanted to take advantage of the home court and want to eat a fat man, which left a huge hole for Dorsey Interspersed repeatedly.

Whether it is football or basketball, it is difficult to break through dense defenses. On the contrary, as long as the defensive side is well organized, it will be handy in defensive counterattacks.

The Rockets tasted the sweetness of anti-counterattack, and simply stuck to the end, replacing Scola with the more energetic and athletic Landry, and resolutely implemented the tactical intention of anti-counterattack.

Although Dorsey and Landry are not as good as Yao Ming and the combination in terms of technical ability, Nene and Martin on the opposite side are also two bad boys. Advantage.

In terms of physical fitness and athletic ability, Dorsey is now the only one!

The former Dorsey template was Ben Wallace. Later, when he first entered the league, he was considered the second Howard. Now, through the continuous addition of his system, he has become a "devil muscular man", whether it is speed or strength. , Bounce, are the league's top existence.

At 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, Kenyon Martin received a pass from Billups and wanted to dunk an alley-oop, but was blocked by Dorsey.

At 10 minutes and 32 seconds of the second quarter, Anthony made a layup, Dorsey slashed out and blocked the block; the ball just fell into Nene's hands, Dorsey bounced continuously, and blocked the block again; Martin grabbed the ball and wanted to make another layup, Dorsey slapped the ball directly this time, and slapped the ball outside the sideline!
One offense and defense, three big hats!It wasn't the ball that Dorsey slapped, but the face of the Denver man!

In the first half, Dorsey played a monster-level performance on both ends of the offense and defense.

By the end of the second quarter, he had scored 14 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks!
Under his leadership, the Rockets also took a 54:39 ​​lead by virtue of defensive counterattack tactics!
In the second quarter, the Nuggets only scored 16 points!
