Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 482 Pig-like teammates
In the first quarter of the game, Dayao performed like a god. It can be said that the team scored in the first quarter, basically relying on Dayao.

When Dayao was substituted, Mosaic's substitute faced the Lakers' substitute led by Li Tian, ​​and was beaten badly.

In just 2 minutes, a wave of 8:2 was played, and Mosaic didn't grab a single rebound. If Lowry hadn't held the ball to pass Farmar's defense and hit a mid-range shot, otherwise it would have been a wave of 8:0 .

At 25:33 in the first quarter, the Lakers led by 8 points.

"Kobe, Lee, and Yao are too much of a threat to the team. We can't let him go on like this." Phil, who was sitting on the sidelines, said.

This sentence is obviously asking them. If this problem is solved, he already has a preliminary plan in his mind. He just wants to confirm it and see if his idea is the same.

He glanced at Kobe who was sitting beside him. He played the full game in the first quarter, and in the first few minutes of the second quarter, he would definitely rest off the court, so he motioned for Kobe to speak first.

"It's very simple, just don't give him a chance to catch the ball. Paul goes to the center and Odom plays the power forward." This is the result of Kobe's deliberation.

First of all, Bynum has been verified. He is not Yao Ming's opponent.The most important thing is that this guy likes to jump very much, and his footsteps can't keep up with Yao Ming's footsteps at all, so he was easily beaten.

If it is Gasol, the problem of insufficient height also exists, but the defensive experience is very different.Gasol's footsteps can also keep up with Yao Ming. If he wants to go around the front to defend, he can barely complete it. Most importantly, he can consume Yao Ming greatly, so that in the fourth quarter, the mosaic inside will no longer have any advantage.

The cooperation of Gasol and Odom can increase the speed of the team's inside line. When double-teaming Yao Ming, the efficiency will be better, and it can better cut off the connection between Mosaic's inside and outside lines.

"I agree with Kobe's statement!" Originally, I thought about increasing the speed of the team, but looking at the situation on the field, it is completely unnecessary now and can be left behind.

"Okay, that's it. Kobe leads the bench and plays for a few minutes first. When Yao comes on the court, Paul will come on. Ariza is on the court, he needs to actively run, and the defensive end must be close to Artest. Don't give him easy shots. opportunity." Phil arranged.

Last season's playoffs, Ariza was injured until the finals before he started to play. If Li Tian hadn't arrived, the team's forward defense would have fallen off a cliff. Walton is getting older, and his physical fitness and speed have dropped significantly. .

Ariza nodded. After Li Tian came to the Lakers, the two of them have been in competition, and they have the same position.However, Li Tian is more comprehensive than him, and has an advantage in the competition within the team. If he hadn't been injured last season, he thinks that he has the hope of entering the team's starting position. He thinks that he will definitely not be inferior to the opponent.

After only 2 minutes in the second quarter, the point difference between the two teams came to more than 10 points.

Adelman couldn't sit still at all, and even omitted the question this time.

"Yao, the next dead ball, you will replace Hayes!" Quickly make a decision, and then quickly make corresponding adjustments according to the changes on the field.

In order to better give the ball to the inside, Adelman, for the first time, kept Lowry on the court.In his view, Lowry's ability to break through and create opportunities is definitely better than Brooks, and he has more stable ball control. He is not the kind of impulsive player, so keeping him on the court will be more effective.

After Yao Ming came on stage, Mosaic's disadvantage was immediately made up for.

Lowry's performance was also good, delivering two consecutive assists to the inside, and Yao Ming scored four points in a row.The defensive end also successfully interfered consecutively, with Kobe's two breakthroughs.

Gradually narrow the point difference to 7 points.

At 38:45, seeing the change in the situation, the team's forward defense is still a bit weak. Even though Ariza just hit two consecutive three-pointers, but just now when defending the pick-and-roll, Lowry sent two assists. This is a little bit of Phil Not very satisfied.

Let me ask, now with Li Tian, ​​defense, three-pointers, and breakthroughs are all strong. Looking at Ariza's ability to create independently, there is a big gap compared with him. Only three-pointers and defense are still worse.

After Li Tian came on the field, the restrictions on the inside of the Lakers were strengthened again.It was difficult for Yao Ming to catch the ball. Several times in a row, Lowry failed to send the ball inside to complete the connection between inside and outside.

Seeing that the team rarely received the ball inside, Adelman had to make adjustments again and replaced Brooks in order to expand the outside shooting range and ease the pressure on Yao Ming inside.

Odom received a breakthrough point, hit the iron in the mid-range shot, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and handed it to Brooks to take the ball for halftime.

Facing Fisher's close-fitting and oppressive defense, Brooks struggled to advance past halftime, but had no choice but to rely on Yao Ming who mentioned the high position to perform a pick-and-roll.

Seeing the opportunity, he assigned it to Yao Ming who went down the pick-and-roll. After receiving the ball, he had no time to adjust.The main reason is that the quality of Brooks' passing is too poor. Li Tian's passing is already bad enough, and Brooks' passing is not as good as him.

When bending over to receive a pass, you must make adjustments before you can make a shot, otherwise your hit rate will be greatly reduced.

Just when Yao Ming made adjustments after receiving the ball, Odom on the other side immediately doubled Yao with Gasol.

He must make a choice quickly, otherwise once faced with double-teaming, the shot will not be so easy, and he may be blocked.

In the blink of an eye, Scola moved sideways and appeared on the line where Yao Ming could easily pass the ball.

"Crack!" Just before Odom was about to form a double-team, he hit the ground and passed the ball to Scola, who was vacant.

This pass was much better than that of Brooks, and Scola didn't make any adjustments at all.

Seeing that the ball has been passed, Odom decisively stopped double-teaming Yao Ming and ran towards the open Scola.

Scola shot immediately after receiving the ball.

"Touch!" Even if there is no defense, Scola feels bad, shooting hard.

One minute later, Yao Ming snatched the rebound from Brooks and gave it to Shane Battier on the outside again.

A three-pointer from the bottom corner also ended in a strike.

After several consecutive attacks, Yao Ming, who was deep inside, never received the ball.On the one hand, Brooks did not choose the timing of the pass well. He made a mistake just now. Li Tian, ​​who was defended from the other side, completed a steal, made a fast break, and scored a dunk.

"Mosaic is really too difficult to play. They have combined inside and outside, and they haven't hit it yet!" Director Zhang looked at Yao Ming, feeling worried.

The talent is so good, but Mosaic has never found a good passer for Yao Ming.This is not the last century. Since Jordan became a god, the game is no longer dominated by insiders.

The same restrictions of some new rules have caused inside players to not be able to play singles with the ball all the time, so a good passer is needed to give the ball to the inside and then score.

Mosaic does not have such a player, there is no player who can give the ball to the inside.

"No way, the Lakers guard the inside too tightly, and Mosaic's outside players don't have the ability to attract defense!" Yu Jia shook his head. If the game continues like this, it is only a matter of time before Mosaic loses.

There are only two ways to solve this problem. The first is to introduce a player like Billups, who can not only attract defense, but also pass the ball accurately to the inside without any adjustments; That is, the outside line is explosive, and the opponent is not allowed to double-team the inside line.

But Mosaic, these two conditions are not met, even if McGrady is not injured, his passing is not very strong, it can only be said to be at an upper-middle level.

In this way, amid the sighs of Director Zhang and Yu Jia, the first half of the game ended.

Mosaic temporarily fell behind by 50 points at 62:12.

In the first half, it wasn't that the Lakers played a bit badly. Under Artest and Battier's oppressive outside defense, Kobe and Li Tian's shooting percentages were not high.However, the substitute players are more powerful. Ariza made 3 of 3 from the outside, and Odom is also strong. After playing more time in the second quarter, he also played 7 of 5 and scored 10 points for a long time.

At the beginning of the second half, Yao Ming faced a double-team and gave the ball to Brooks on the outside for a three-pointer.

Seeing his teammates hitting the iron one after another, Yao Ming got angry and began to play singles with the ball. However, singles against Gasol was no longer as easy as the opening game against Bynum. Although there was a gap in strength, the first half Yao Ming's power advantage is not so obvious.

Faced with the double-teaming of Gasol and Lamar Odom, Yao Ming's touch also dropped a lot, and he hit the iron with small throws.

Li Tian received the rebound, assisted Kobe who was about to go down, and completed a dunk.

The point difference was widened to 18 points. In this game, Mosaic had already rubbed one foot on the cliff.

Even so, the Lakers did not stop their butcher knife, and the strength of the defensive end was strengthened again.

In the fourth quarter, Mosaic relied on Yao Ming to support himself, and gave the ball to the outside several times. The teammates seemed to be infected by Kobe, and they continued to hit the iron.

In desperation, he could only play singles by himself, and in the end he was outnumbered. Facing double teams, his shooting percentage dropped sharply, and he only scored 7 points with 3 of 8 shots.

As the game drew to a close, Sun Yue was arranged by Phil to make a mid-range shot.

The whistle sounded and the game ended. The Lakers beat Mosaic 95:116 with a 21-point difference.

Mosaic in Los Angeles, swallowed two losses.

At the end of the game, Yao Ming didn't even say hello, he went straight to the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room.

He was a little fed up with the team, and he was fighting with his life, but the team's record has been poor.Since last season, he and McGrady asked the team to trade Li Tian, ​​and was finally fooled by Mogou. Yao Ming has seen through the management.

In addition, this season, McGrady is reimbursed for the season again, supporting the team alone, he is really tired.With his personality, he is indeed not particularly suitable to be the boss of the team, and this time he is also rushing to the shelves.

He also understands that there are many things that need to be fought for by himself, otherwise the team management will not care at all.

Losing two games in a row, I am very dissatisfied with the team's arrangement. The team needs to change the current style of play.The combination of inside and outside the team must fight, otherwise this round of the series will have a high probability of being swept away.

Yao Ming felt tired when he thought of these.

Seeing Yao Ming leaving, he knew that the next game, returning to Houston, would be really difficult to deal with.
