Chapter 460 [Almighty Yao Ming is crazy]

Brown called the players around and continued to emphasize defense. He always believed that defense was the key to winning, even if it couldn't be defended.

Yang Rui began to play tricks again. He not only wanted Yao Ming to score and rebound, but also to help him with assists. In this game, he would have to respond on the spot to make his opponents despair.

Yang Rui adjusted his tactics, and the coaching staff and players couldn't believe it, because he had to replace Diop, a marginal man, and Rasheed Wallace.

"Desagena, you were the No. 2001 pick in the first round in 8. At that time, a lot of people were optimistic about your future. Even now, I believe that you can occupy a place in the NBA, use your strengths and let people know you are offensive. It can work. Play like you did in training, with the defensive end of the zone, the card people helping Yao get the rebound."

At the end of the timeout, Brown had no choice but to replace his own son, Big Ben, and replaced him with a backup center, Nazr Mohammed, who is 208cm tall and weighs 113kg.

As soon as the Lakers players came on, Brown almost dropped his chin, because the Lakers replaced Diop with two star power forwards and three-point power forward Cook, and used the "twin towers tactics"!
Zhang Lili was also stunned. "Diop's body type, is he playing a power forward, or Yao Ming playing a power forward?"

Yu Jia said: "The Lakers' lineup is definitely worse on the outside line. It is impossible for the Knicks to break into the penalty area. Is Yang Rui trying to take a breath for Yao Ming and blow up the Knicks inside line?"

He guessed right, Yang Rui was going to use an extreme way to clean up the Knicks. He didn't care about winning by a big score, he just helped Yao Ming to brush the data, maximize his disgusting opponents, and smash Larry Brown's face.

The Knicks want to shoot from the outside, the Lakers don't care, they use 122 to shrink the zone defense and defend the penalty area.

Marbury gave the ball to the left bottom corner Tim Thomas, who caught the ball and made a three-pointer. Yao Ming failed to defend and the ball was scored. 18 to 13.

The Lakers attacked, Yao Ming and Kobe high-level pick-and-roll, Kobe passed the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line, Muhammad blocked in front of him, not close, Yao Ming hit high and sent the ball from the top of the opponent's head to the basket .

Diop is directly in the penalty area. He is 213cm tall and weighs 134kg, which is heavier than Yao Ming.His opponent, Kurt Thomas, is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg. The two have a contrasting stature and look like a small forward and a defensive center.

Only O'Neal is heavier than Diop in the league at present, and even Eddie Curry of the Nets has reduced to 130 kilograms.

Yang Rui did not believe that such a strong man could not develop the slightest attacking power. As long as he had the right tactics, he could score.Jerome James, who had a similar style at the beginning, had a double-double in a single game in the Raptors.

Diop only started practicing basketball at the age of 15, and his basic skills are extremely poor, but in his final year of high school, he averaged monster data of 14.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 8.1 blocks per game, leading Oak Hill College to a 33-0 record.He has no offensive skills. He has practiced attacking the basket with his body and often hits alternative triple-doubles.

During the training camp, Yang Rui asked Diop about his style of play in high school, and then asked him to coach a deep and important position, use his strength to squeeze close to the basket to catch the ball with his back, and then turn around to shoot or dunk.

To put it simply, this guy is like Mikio Kawada in Slam Dunk, he can only score in this way.

Diop has better physical fitness and explosiveness than Ogawa.And Kurt Thomas was obviously not Sakuragi Huadao. He was pushed away, and he didn't even make a foul under the basket. Diop turned and dunked the basketball with one hand.

20 to 13, Yao Ming added another assist!
When returning to defense, Yao Ming and Diop clapped their hands and smiled.

Yang Rui said that in order to make him an all-around warrior, he was not very confident at first, but now he understands that as long as his teammates cooperate and have proper tactics, it is entirely possible. He has a high status in the Lakers.

The Knicks attacked, and Marbury broke through and passed the ball to Tim Thomas in the left bottom corner.

Brown will ask the players to constantly attack the opponent's weak point. Kobe retreats to the bottom line to interfere, and Tim Thomas points the ball to Mohammed, who is emptied in the middle.

The embarrassment of blue-collar workers is that they can't shoot when they are empty. The strange thing is that Larry Brown especially likes this kind of person.

Mohamed took aim and didn't shoot, and the ball was passed to Marbury, who singled out Hoiberg in the middle and scored a dry pull-up jumper. 20 to 15.

In the Lakers positional battle, Yao Ming gave Kobe a pick-and-roll, and Mohammed didn't know what to do.The coach arranged for him to play without Medvedenko, who has poor athletic ability, in order to let him guard against Yao Ming's empty cut, and to properly block Kobe, so that Kobe would not easily break into the basket.Now Yao Ming is not empty, disrupting Brown's tactics.

After Kobe's pick-and-roll, he attracted Mohammad to defend and pass Yao Ming. Yao Ming didn't wait for the center to return and put the ball straight to the basket. The "madman" couldn't interfere with his passing.

Diop received the ball with his back again, turned around and stood up. Thomas tried to dig the ball down three ways and failed. Diop dunked the basketball with both hands and scored!

22 to 15, Yao Ming's second assist.

Ben Wallace has been forced to rest, and Kurt Thomas dare not use fouls to stop opponents easily. If he also goes off the court, the Knicks will be weaker inside.

The Knicks attacked, and Marbury singled out again, passing Hoiberg and making a pull-up jumper. 22 to 17.

The Lakers wanted to play a tactic for the third time. Brown called for a switch on the sidelines. Mohammed went to the low position to fight Diop. He was 20 kg worse than Kurt Thomas.

After observing the situation, Kobe Bryant jumped to the right, turned 45 degrees to face the frame, and pointed his hand towards the low position.

Yao Ming understood and asked for the ball in the low post on the right, while Diop attracted the defense in the low post on the left.

Kobe hoisted the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming had an obvious advantage in playing Kurt Thomas. He leaned back and turned to the baseline to make a jumper.He relied on his height advantage and leaned back to avoid the block, and the ball went into the net hollow.

24 to 17, Yao Ming's 20th personal score, crazy!
Muhammad was far away on the other side and failed to form a double team. To double-team a giant like Yao Ming, he could only attack from the side. During the Rockets, Yao Ming often used this method to attract double teams and distribute the ball to the team. Teammate shoots.

Yao Ming has not gained weight, and the confrontation is slightly worse than Yang Rui's previous life. If he encounters a strong defense like Diop, he may not be able to protect the ball and his shooting rhythm will be disrupted. Against Thomas, he has an absolute advantage in confrontation and shooting rhythm. Perfect.

Larry Brown stared blankly at the court, regretting it is actually very painful, he now has an absolute right to speak.

Not only all Chinese fans want to kill Brown, Knicks owners and Knicks fans also want to kill Brown, delaying a potential star for two years. If Yao Ming's mental quality is not good, it may be abolished.

Barkley said: "Yao Mingcai has just joined the Lakers for more than a month, and he hasn't played in the preseason. No matter how amazing Jerry is, his transformation will be limited. The reason he can play this kind of game today is because of his super ability. Larry Brown has given it up before, it's too much."

Smith sighed: "Last season Jerry sneered at Brown during the live broadcast. I also said that he was too much. Now it seems that he is not talking nonsense. Not only Yao Ming, Brown was Larry Hughes and John Sal in the 76ers. Mons can only be on the fringes, and when Brown left, they all came out."

Barkley said with a smile: "The owner of the Knicks doesn't know how he feels now. Brown's contract with the Knicks was the same as when Jerry joined the Wizards. He was the highest-paid coach at the time. Now Jerry is compared with him, and his annual salary is tens of millions of dollars. normal now."
