Zhiba NBA

Chapter 94 (93)

Back from the timeout, "Smart Star" Brown was also dumbfounded.The Rockets changed to an unconventional lineup of one big and four small, and the players on the field became Okur, Turkoglu, Tracy McGrady, Reid and Billups.

Brown hasn't figured out how Tang Shuai arranged the ball. The Rockets have already taught him how to be a man with bloody reality.Several pitchers spread out in a wide range, McGrady made a sudden pass, and Reid made an open three-pointer at 14:16!

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The shooting ability of the Rockets' lineup has improved, but the ability to protect rebounds has decreased.Bodi Loga missed a jumper under the defense of McGrady, but Daben grabbed a rebound and made a dunk, tying 16.

Billups assisted Okur to hit a large two-pointer, and Bodi Loga also assisted Rashid for a layup and caused Turkoglu to foul, but unfortunately he missed the penalty.

Here the Rockets attacked back and McGrady scored another three-pointer, hollow into the net, 18:21.

"Don't let the Rockets take a three-pointer easily!" Bodi Loga shouted on the court, and he was also a little anxious.

Rashid turned over and missed a jumper, Okur protected the rebound.

The Pistons stepped up their blockade of the Rockets' outside line, but McGrady broke through and easily dunked the basket, 18:23.

Brown finally understood that the Rockets wanted to completely open up the space. They came up with a strong shooting lineup, forcing the Pistons' famous defensive system to expose its weaknesses.

The Pistons, Spurs, and Pacers are the top three defensive teams in the league, but they are still different.The Pacers are more reliant on their stars. The personal abilities of these two support the team's defensive system. The Spurs' defense is more intelligent and strategic. Rais's strong defense helps contain opponents.

McGrady's breakthrough in the previous few games was not very effective, not because of Prince's excellent foot speed, but because the two Wallace's defenses were in place early.What about this time?The Rockets' three-point shooter opened up a wide space, and the Pistons' defense was not so easy.

During the timeout just now, Tang Shuai arranged it like this: "Bordi Loga is worthy of being the world's top point guard. The team he controls is really relaxed. Facing the Pistons' shifting speed, we have to hit the opponent with three-pointers. When they expand their defensive range and pull out to defend three-pointers, it is time for Tracy to show his personal ability."

The Pistons faltered a little, and Hamilton missed another shot.McGrady grabbed the rebound and went straight to the layup.Although the Pistons players were not slow to retreat, they were too far outside under the restraint of many Rockets shooters, and they failed to defend the ball.

首节战罢，22:29火箭将领先优势扩大到了7分。全队三分球惊人的8投5中，效率相当高。活塞完全依靠出色的篮板球才能和对手周旋，大本一个人单节就抢下了5个前场篮板。

"The opposing head coach deserves to be a famous coach!" Larry Brown and Tomjanovich felt sympathetic to each other.The series has reached the sixth game, and the two sides can still continue to come up with new tactics and continue to play their cards.

In the second quarter, the Rockets became more aggressive and simply replaced Wang Zhizhi, who had a better shot, while the Pistons sent in backup point guard Lynch Hunter.

"Hunter against McGrady? Isn't the height difference too big?" Lian Yuanfei was also puzzled when he saw the situation on the court.Hunter is only 188cm. Although he defends hard, his innate conditions are difficult to make up for.

This time McGrady fell into the trap. He broke through with the ball and was cut off by Hunter, and the Pistons played a fast break.

"The opponent is so much shorter than you, go back and beat him!" The old captain Olajuwon couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help complaining off the court.

Old Brown smiled slightly, McGrady's technique had already been seen through by him.McGrady does have a good back shot, but he relies more on shaking and speed to play, and rarely uses physical confrontation.If it is said that Kobe's back hit is a hard back hit, Tracy McGrady just rolls and hits, and there are not many shots after a physical confrontation.Although Hunter's physical condition is mediocre, he is indeed the player with the most aggressive defense and the most serious attitude in the Pistons.

Now that the problem has been pushed to Lao Tang, he should trust McGrady to solve the problem by himself, or solve it through personnel adjustment.Lao Tang finally chose to trust McGrady first and let him play 2 more balls to see.

Hamilton also grabbed an offensive rebound and caused a foul by Billups. He made two free throws and the point difference has been reduced to 2 points.

McGrady couldn't bear it anymore, so he made a three-pointer and hit it!
Larry Brown's expression changed. The thing he feared most happened. McGrady began to ignore the defense and shoot various shots.If McGrady made a shot, he would be unstoppable. He still remembers the 35 seconds and 13 points he played against the Spurs!There is nothing Hunter can do about this kind of head-on jumper.

Still calm Bodi Loga, he shook McGrady and hit a two-point shot from a small angle, stabilizing his position a little.

Reid received a pass from McGrady and made a shooting gesture again.He had already made two shots and two hits before, and he was still in the state of hitting no misses.

Hamilton rushed forward, his outstretched fingers slightly brushed Reid's ball, and the ball missed!
Reid glared at Hamilton, and the scene from many years ago appeared in his mind.

In 1999, Reid, who had not yet joined the NBA, led Ohio State University to the NCAA Final Four. The opponent was the University of Connecticut led by Hamilton.After a tough battle, Reid scored 15+8, both of which are the highest in the team.But Hamilton contributed a game-high 24 points, leading UConn to a 6-point victory and reaching the final.

In the final, UConn went one step further and defeated Duke University led by Brand to win the championship.A few months later, Brand, who performed well, was selected by the Chicago Bulls as the No. 7 pick of the season, and Hamilton was also selected by the Wizards as No.2000.And Reed is determined to fight for another year in the college league and hit the championship again.But dreams are always beautiful and fragile. In 32, Ohio State University's performance was even worse, stopping in the top [-].The poor record also affected Reid's draft pick, causing him to be selected by the Rockets in the second round.

"Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Today is the time for me to avenge my elimination!" Reed gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The ball bounced far away and happened to be picked up by Wang Zhizhi.Reid reacted quickly, seeing that Big Zhi got the ball, he had already run to the corner on the other side.But Hamilton had just reacted and failed to keep up in time.

Reid received the ball and made an open shot.The speed of the shot is fast, but the movement is very stable.

This cloud piercing arrow broke the balance of power, and the point difference widened to 6 points again.
