NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 230 Only the last solution left
The first half of the game ended quickly. Clark was killing everyone, Taylor was beaten, and Cato also revealed that he was not that dominant on the defensive end.

But the Kings coaching staff doesn’t care.

The Kings' lineup is extremely offensive. Lu Yuanzhi was able to overwhelm O'Neal in the paint last season. This year, his skills have gone even further. Under his control, if Cato can guard against Divac, who is facing him, he can still win. If he can help defend Clark, the Kings can't even hope to trade Cato.

With such a defensive ability, apart from Big Ben Wallace and Garnett, there should be no third person in the league.

Even Duncan is a little hung up.

Therefore, it is normal for Cato to be unable to defend himself.

And the Kings are not looking for a Garnett-style inside man, they just want a human shield that can resist damage.

The most depressing thing in the first half was not Taylor who was beaten, but Dayao who only played for less than 10 minutes.

In the first quarter, he committed two fouls and played for 6 minutes.

Reappeared in the second quarter, played "safely" for 2 minutes during the rotation, and saw Lu Yuanzhi reappeared.

Lu Yuanzhi did not press too much. He rushed to the basket with a bag of explosives on his back. Dayao avoided two whistles, but Lu Yuanzhi caught the opportunity on the third time. Before Dayao had time to react, he made a reasonable collision The district caught Dayao again.

Generally, NBA players know how to restrain themselves in the reasonable collision area, because in this area, as long as the whistle blows, it can only be a defensive foul, not an offensive foul.

But Dayao was also angered by Lu Yuanzhi. What was he thinking about this brother?
Are you going to catch me trying to pull off the hair of a sheep today?

Are all the fouls directed at me?

Then I will give you a big hot pot!

As a result, Lu Yuanzhi was more aggressive this time. When he saw Dayao making a downward movement, he directly raised his arm.

Less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, Dayao received his third foul of the game and could only return to the court to rest in despair.

During the halftime break, Dayao wanted to talk to Lu Yuanzhi, but Lu Yuanzhi didn't give him the chance at all. As soon as the whistle blew, he went straight back to his dressing room.

"Max, you are so cruel. Yao's three fouls were all caused by you!"

"Have you ever bullied your compatriots like you?"

"That's it, you see Vlad takes care of Peja more often, don't you learn from him?"

In the locker room, the teammates were all talking and complaining about Lu Yuanzhi's dirty tricks in the first half.

"He will have to face this sooner or later, so he might as well let me help him increase his strength."

"If he gets over it, he will have no problem facing more than 99% of the league's attackers."

"Can't you resist?" Bobby Jackson wiped his mouth.

"If you can't resist it, then go home and farm!"

"No need to embarrass yourself on this stage!"

The locker room erupted into even louder laughter.

After laughing about it, everyone felt that this fit Lu Yuanzhi's character quite well.

This guy is really ruthless!

Didn't this guy almost get sent to the Development League to play?
Then with perseverance and hard work, I got a chance to play, joined the rotation, and became a starting player.

"Are you very optimistic about Yao?" Turkoglu, who knew Lu Yuanzhi better, asked. He had heard Lu Yuanzhi say a Chinese proverb, "Gemstones cannot become useful objects without careful carving."

Turkoglu didn't particularly understand this sentence before. Precious gems are inherently priceless, and their country's Sudan stone is such a priceless treasure.Why do these gems have to be carved before they can be made into objects?
It wasn’t until the summer trip to China that Turkoglu saw the exquisite Hetian jade.

Liu Yudong: The conditions are so good, but if you don’t work hard, you will be weak and have no energy at all. I don’t like any of them, not at all!
Right, the CBA "superstars" who have not been polished are just such a bunch of ineffective people.

Lu Yuanzhi did not deny it, but smiled and said, "Didn't Vlad and Peja beat the Dream Team in Indiana? I hope our national team also has such an opportunity."

"If possible, I hope it will be a more difficult Olympics."

As we all know, there is a difference in the strength of the Dream Team. Generally speaking, the Dream Team of the World Championships is based on the new stars who have played in the NBA for 2-3 years as the core of the team, while the Dream Team of the Olympic Games is based on the players who have played in the NBA. NBA superstars of [-] are the core of the team.

The intensity dropped by more than a few notches.

As soon as he said this, Divac and Stojakovic also looked at him with concern and laughed.

Beating the Dream Team is the common goal of every international player playing in the NBA.

The intermission ended quickly, and players from both teams returned to the court again, while Lu Yuanzhi was eyeing Dayao in the Rockets crowd.

Hey hey hey, Dayao, look at what effective adjustments you have made in this midfielder.

If you don't adjust well, I have to teach you a profound lesson today.

Dayao also received guidance from the Rockets coaching staff during halftime.

Although the big dream Olajuwon has not yet joined the Rockets coaching staff to give Yao a small start, the center tradition accumulated over the years still allows the Rockets coaching staff to have very rich skills in training centers.

After being told some precautions, Dayao was also full of fighting spirit and decided to give his good brother Lu Yuanzhi a few hard blows in the second half!
On the coaching bench, the assistant coach frowned and asked Tang Shuai, "Rudy, is it really possible?"

"Without the cover of outside players, would it be too cruel to directly expose Yao?"

"Max on the opposite side has a very strong impact and his ability to draw fouls is top-notch. I'm afraid that Yao will get his fourth foul within a few minutes of playing."

Tomjanovich heard his assistant's words, but remained silent.

Could he not understand Dayao's current situation?
To prevent outside players from killing the inside line, the first thing to do is to choose an excellent defensive player to limit outside players like Lu Yuanzhi from unscrupulously attacking the inside line.

Does the Rockets have someone like this?
No!

Who is sitting on the bench?
A large group of small players in their early 190s!

Who can guard Lu Yuanzhi, who is 206 centimeters tall, strong and explosive?

Oh, and there is Nahba, who is 206 centimeters tall and was selected by the Rockets with the 15th pick in the first round this year.

But with Nahbana's defensive ability, do you dare to let him guard the attacker?

I'm afraid I won't go up to deliver the food!
If there is no good opponent, there are other ways, which is to strengthen the second line of defense. On the way to Lu Yuanzhi's breakthrough, other players will put pressure on Lu Yuanzhi to help defend, slow down Lu Yuanzhi's speed, and make his breakthrough less impactful. .

As long as the speed slows down, 90% of the threat from outside players will be reduced, and they will not be able to threaten Dayao at all.

But the Rockets' lineup can't even form a decent second line of defense. The players are either incompetent or have no awareness of assisting defense, and they don't know how to block the breakthrough of outside players.

This second method is also unreliable.

In the end, there is only one last way, let Dayao learn to control fouls.

Dayao is very smart and good at learning new things in games.

Now, just hope that Dayao can complete his transformation in the game and learn how to fight against this kind of outside attacker!

　Holiday actually went to the Celtics. The Celtics' main lineup has been greatly strengthened, but the depth of the bench is not good.
　　However, even if the Celtics stay healthy, I doubt their performance in the playoffs.
　　Their boss Tatum’s mental attributes are indeed a bit low.
