Chapter 190: One defense, three caps!This is forcing me to play a quadruple double!
Barkley watched the Hawks' up and down lineup rotation, and glanced at Olajuwon vaguely.

Olajuwon heard Barkley's ridicule and did not respond.

After all, what Barkley said is a fact. So far this season, the Rockets have only played a total of nine players.

There are only seven players who have played more than 10 minutes.

The thickness of such a lineup, not to mention compared with some championship-level teams, even compared with some playoff teams, there is a big gap.

So Olajuwon doesn't know how to refute Barkley.

Of course, Olajuwon may not bother to refute, after all, no matter how you say it, the Rockets are now in the league's first position.

As for the possibility of being targeted by opponents in the playoffs due to fewer rotation players, Olajuwon feels that Yao Ming, a super insider, is not so easy to be targeted.

For example, when I led the team to win the championship for the first time that year, the actual number of people in the team who played in the playoffs was only about 8 people!

Soon, as the rotation time ended, the two teams replaced their starting lineups one after another.

This game has returned to the rhythm of the game in the second half of the first quarter.

And as Xu Lang became more and more adapted to Bill Russell's defensive strength, and Xu Lang, who had just completed possession, became more and more integrated with the Eagles' defensive system.

Its defense effect on the Rockets is getting better and better, and Yao Ming's offensive efficiency has begun to decline further.

Especially as Xu Lang became more and more familiar with the characteristics of Bill Russell's exclusive skill, the number of blocks and steals Xu Lang completed gradually became abnormal!
Fortunately, McGrady, the core outside player of the Rockets, stepped forward at this time.

Because Xu Lang assists in defense from the bottom corner, and most of Xu Lang's defensive energy needs to be put on Yao Ming.

This makes McGrady's offense on the outside a lot less pressure.

Without Xu Lang's containment on the outside, McGrady has more offensive space on the outside and naturally has more offensive opportunities.

In addition, McGrady's offensive strength has reached 95, and the pressure he can exert on the Eagles' outside line is not weaker than Yao Ming's pressure on the Eagles' current inside line!

It's just the first quarter of the game, because Yao Ming's offensive efficiency is too terrifying.

Only then did McGrady hand over more ball rights to Yao Ming, but now Yao Ming's offensive efficiency has dropped, even far below his average level.

McGrady also took the team's offensive ball without hesitation, and began to exert strength on the outside!
Facts have proved that McGrady, who has an overall strength of 95, cannot be stopped by Tony Allen and Szczerbiak.

Although Tony Allen has tried his best to interfere and entangle McGrady, but recently, the defensive strength has only grown to 90 Tony Allen.

It still allowed McGrady to achieve more than 50% offensive efficiency and shooting efficiency in the second half of the second quarter.

On the Eagles side, as Xu Lang became more and more accustomed to Bill Russell's various abilities and attribute values, the secrecy and success of his passing also greatly increased.

Especially after Darko Milicic used shots and high pick-and-rolls to call Yao Ming out of the penalty area time and time again on the offensive end, Xu Lang and Josh Smith's direct lobbing of the back of Yao Ming's head became more and more effective. many.

Of course, it's not that Yao Ming has never tried to stay out of the penalty area, but in the face of Darko Milicic's 7-of-3 mid-range shooting in this game, Yao Ming seems to have no choice!
What made Yao Ming even more speechless was that even Darko Milicic missed four mid-range shots.

I only got 2 rebounds, and the other two rebounds were taken away by the point guard Xu Lang!

"Made, why does a point guard have such a good rebounding ability!"

Yao Ming has completely forgotten now that he was delighted with Xu Lang's ability to grab rebounds when he cooperated with Xu Lang in the pick-and-roll in the World Championships!

A good offensive rhythm, plus Xu Lang, a point guard whose rebounding ability is better than Yao Ming, a big center.

This makes the Hawks' overall offensive efficiency no worse than that of the Rockets.

Therefore, the game continued until the last 21 seconds of the second quarter. Although the Eagles were still behind, they were only three points behind.

And now the offensive ball is still in the hands of the Eagles.

Xu Lang held the ball from the outside and pressed the offensive rhythm. After the game time entered the last ten seconds, Xu Lang began to direct Darko Milicic to go up and help him complete the pick-and-roll.

With the help of Darko Milicic's pick-and-roll, Xu Lang moved laterally to the left outside the 45-degree three-point line.

Just when Xu Lang was about to collect the ball to complete a shot from beyond the three-point line, Ralph Alston, who was supposed to defend Tony Allen, suddenly appeared in front of Xu Lang.

Then, Xu Lang's action of collecting and shooting immediately changed into an action of collecting and passing the ball.

A through ball, and then, Tony Allen immediately got a perfect open shot in the left corner.

Open shots without any interference, plus the bonus of Xu Lang's passing characteristics.

Tony Allen made a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Then with the end of the game time, the Eagles tied the scores of the two teams at the end of the half.

"An incredible game, an incredible Xu Lang, and an incredible Hawks team.

Before the start of this game, I don't think anyone would think that the Hawks can play so anxiously with the Rockets. "

"Even if you only look at this game, I think the overall strength of the Eagles should not just be ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference."

"At least with the defensive strength demonstrated by the Eagles in this game, among all the teams in the Eastern Conference, they can at least rank in the top three."

"At the same time, I think Xu Lang in this game won't want to hit a quadruple-double, or even a five-double."

Magic Johnson watched the game at the end of halftime, and he had already scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, [-] blocks, and Xu Lang, who made two turnovers, said with some doubts.

It's hard to say whether Xu Lang can get a quadruple-double or a five-double in this game, but Xu Lang, who has almost got a triple-double in half the game, will inevitably play another amazing data performance in this game.

Soon, as time passed, the intermission ended and the second half of the game between the two teams officially started.

In the second half of the game, the offensive ball was first on the Rockets' side, and then Xu Lang added another steal to himself.

Yao Ming looked at Xu Lang who snatched the basketball from his hands and assisted Szczerbiak with a one-handed dunk with a long pass, and said jokingly.

"Old Xu, what do you mean? This game intentionally uses me to upload data, right?"

Ever since Xu Lang showed the strength of an all-star point guard, Yao Ming has slowly changed from the original Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu to the old Xu.

This change is natural, after all, as Xu Lang's strength becomes stronger and stronger.The basketball status comparison between Yao Ming and Xu Lang has gradually become more and more balanced.

This made Yao Ming call Xu Lang a little Xu Xiaoxu, Xu Lang couldn't help but feel a little awkward, and Yao Ming himself felt a little awkward!
So from this year, after the Chinese team won the World Championships under the leadership of Xu Lang and Yao Ming, Yao Ming's name for Xu Lang became Lao Xu.

Of course, Xu Lang still called Yao Ming Brother Yao.

"Brother Yao, you can't blame me, I really can't help it."

Seeing Xu Lang with a frightened face, Yao Ming also laughed.

"Besides, am I also helping you improve your ability to defend against steals and blocks by us!"

Seeing Xu Lang's expression that he didn't want to hit him, Yao Mingming forcibly suppressed the urge to hit Xu Lang with a hammer.

In fact, for this game, Yao Ming personally felt that winning or losing might be very important.

But it may be more important for Yao Ming to be able to see the continuous growth of Xu Lang and other young Chinese players.

Just like the last time they played against the Trail Blazers, Yao Ming talked with Yi Jianlian about the problems in that game after the game!

And with the start of the third quarter, Xu Lang's steal this time and Sczerbiak's quick counterattack dunk, the Eagles are in the leading position for the first time in this game!
Of course, although Yao Ming didn't care much about the victory in this game, he didn't want to be hammered by Xu Lang, the little brother, in this game!
So turn around, the Rockets attack again, and Yao Ming catches the ball with his back again.

After pushing back against Darko Milicic's defensive position at once, Yao Ming turned his back and stepped back to stand back and make a hit.

"Every time I see Yao Ming's shots, I feel too bullying."

Charles Barkley looked at Yao Ming with a bit of sourness, leaned back and shot without jumping, and said with some envy and jealousy.

As a well-known short insider in the league, Barkley has never felt such offensive convenience on the field.

Every time, he grunted and pouted his big butt, tried his best to push his opponent into the penalty area, and then relied on his top thigh explosive power to directly complete a standing dunk.

Looking at Barkley's abnormal big butt and explosive thighs, it's a bit bullying!

Back on the field, as Yao Ming's offensive moves became more and more concise, Xu Lang's defense became more and more difficult.

Because the movements are more concise, Yao Ming's offense has also become faster, and it takes less time to complete the offense.

This made Xu Lang need to make a choice when assisting in defense!
Either complete the flank attack ahead of time, betting that Yao Ming will not be able to pass the basketball in his hand outside the three-point line when he completes the flank attack.

There is also a bet that Shane Battier, who is standing outside the three-point line, will not make a close-to-open three-point shot when he receives the basketball and gets an open three-point shot.

The other is that Xu Lang cruelly watched Darko Milicic being tormented one-on-one by Yao Ming's backward shots.

Because of this game, Sean Battier's hand feeling was indeed maintained well.

This also caused Xu Lang not to dare to let go of Sean Battier easily and attack Yao Ming in advance.

So Darko Milicic can only be a little helpless, facing Yao Ming's bullying attack by himself!
Of course, the more concise and quicker shots and offensive actions also caused Yao Ming's offensive stability to drop a lot.

After all, more cumbersome offensive moves can allow Yao Ming to obtain more space for attacking and shooting.

This can ensure that Yao Ming's shooting percentage reaches a certain level of high efficiency.

But now Yao Ming had to speed up his attack speed in order to avoid Xu Lang's pincer attack. This naturally made Yao Ming make some moves. In order to be quick, he would do it against Darko Milicic's defense.

Fortunately, Yao Ming's touch was really good in this game.

Even in the face of Darko Milicic's supplementary defense, Yao Ming's overall hits can still be kept above 50%.

It was only after Xu Lang became more and more integrated into the Eagles' defensive system after completing the attachment.

Yao Ming found that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to get offensive rebounds.

Now that the Rockets' overall shooting percentage is still relatively high, the impact of the reduction in the number of offensive rebounds is not great.

But if the Rockets' offensive efficiency begins to decline sharply, there will be no offensive rebounds to ensure the number and efficiency of the second attack.

The Rockets, who are almost unable to suppress the Eagles now, can they continue to maintain such suppression?
This question was answered in the second half of the third quarter.

In the first half of the third quarter, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady maintained a sufficiently high offensive efficiency.

Although the Eagles have maintained a very high defensive efficiency under the leadership of Xu Lang, the rhythm and situation of the game are still on the side of the Rockets.

This caused the Rockets to slowly widen the gap between the two teams just after halfway through the third quarter, thus gaining a four-point lead.

It's really not that the Eagles' defense is bad, it's just that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady played so well in the first half of the game!

And in the 7th minute of the third quarter, McGrady once again used Juwan Howard's pick-and-roll to complete a 45-degree lateral three-pointer and hit a three-pointer.

The score gap between the two teams was widened to seven points.

This also forced Mike Woodson to call a timeout immediately after calling the next timeout 2 minutes ago.

Mike Woodsend, who just called a timeout, did not make any new tactical arrangements.

This timeout is just to instill a concept for every Eagles player, that is, no team can maintain the touch of the whole court.

At least the Rockets in this game are out of the question.

So Mike Woodson has been emphasizing with his players to maintain his defensive patience and not to mess up.

Facts proved that Mike Woodson's judgment was correct, and the game resumed after the timeout ended.

The feel of several pitchers on the Rockets' side, I don't know if it is because of some interruption due to the impact of this timeout.

Sean Battier failed to grasp an open shot opportunity and directly bounced out of the frame.

Then, Xu Lang shrunk the inside line to pick off the rebound, and a long pass was passed to Josh Smith, who faced McGrady's defense and completed a 2+1 dunk.

Then, McGrady missed another mid-range pull-up jumper from the free throw line.

Although Yao Ming stuck Darko Milicic's position, he grabbed the rebound this time.

But when he was about to raise the basketball to complete the dunk, Xu Lang suddenly appeared in front of him.

He directly pressed the basketball in his hand.

And this is not the end, because of Xu Lang's shrinking defense, Sean Battier gained a lot of room to move, and followed Xu Lang into the three-second zone.

He happened to pick up the basketball that Yao Ming had taken off, and immediately got up to complete a low-handed layup.

Then he also ate Xu Lang's hot pot once, and because Xu Lang blocked the shot a bit too much this time.

As a result, the basketball almost flew out of the three-second zone, and after the shot, McGrady, who felt that he was going to miss this shot, stepped into the free throw line.

It just happened to accept the basketball that was slapped by Xu Lang this time.

Taking off the shot, and adding a little bit of back, McGrady felt that he had the shot.

At the moment of the shot, McGrady had already thought about how to celebrate this goal for a while.

But before McGrady hit the ground completely, the basketball he just threw was immediately slapped out by a big yellow hand.

From slapping Yao Ming's dunk in the penalty area to slapping Shane Battier's low layup.

Then Xu Lang chased McGrady directly in two big strides, and gave McGrady another big hat that covered the sky and the sun. Xu Lang spent less than 5 seconds in total.

"Terrifying bullet speed, terrifying defensive sense, and Xu Lang, who didn't find many chances to block shots in the entire first half, directly scored three block data this time!"

Fortunately, this time Xu Lang directly slapped the basketball beyond the three-point line, and was finally picked up by Alston after completing an open three-pointer.

Xu Lang was unable to achieve the achievement of one defense and four blocked shots.

It can only be said that Bill Russell's defensive attributes, exclusive skills and characteristics of golden defensive skills are too strong.

After Xu Lang felt his super defensive ability behind the three-second zone, he immediately decided to switch defenses with Josh Smith.

In fact, in the third quarter, after Yao Ming began to simplify his offensive moves and rhythm, Xu Lang has been thinking about how to better help him defend Yao Ming's offense.

And switching defenses with Josh Smith is the best way Xu Lang can think of now.

In this way, it can not only take into account the defense of its opponents, but also shrink to the inside in time, forcing Yao Ming to complete more offenses outside the three-second zone.
