Chapter 170 Qin is a Good Support

Before the game, Tomjanovich told the players that they must guard against the sudden speed increase of the Sonics, and the Sonics often like to speed up the transition between offense and defense when they are in the second team.

Once the speed is up, not only can it consume the physical energy of the Rockets' veteran players, but also they don't have to fall into the offensive position that is weaker than the Rockets.

The key to guard against this is to control the rhythm and not be led by the nose by the opponent.

If it's another veteran point guard, he certainly doesn't have to worry, but if it's Maloney, he must be vaccinated in advance.

Maloney did a good job, the Sonics were fast on offense and defense, but he dribbled through the half court unhurriedly.

Then Barkley came out to cover for Drexler, opened up and caught the ball, and continued to throw it to Olajuwon at the basket, allowing Olajuwon to destroy the Supersonics inside.

As soon as Olajuwon received the ball, the Supersonics were not in a hurry to defend. When he started or finished his action, the Supersonics striker rushed over. For this ball, Olajuwon did not choose to split the ball, but a low-angle throw.

"Earlier!"

George Karl signaled Kemp to be bold. If the referee doesn't call illegal defense, Barkley can try to let it go a little bit. Of course, he can't let it go all the time.

It's only about three seconds, which is enough for an NBA player to return to defense.

And Payton, the position at the top of the arc is not good for double-teaming. Payton is thinking of ways to switch defenses to see if he can go to the bottom corner so that his "gloves" can come in handy.

For the Sonics' offense, they chose strong-side singles.

The players pulled away, and Payton slapped Maroni with his back. After a bump, he immediately turned around and walked to the baseline, making a successful throw from a small angle.

There is no way to get Payton.

Payton has always been known for his defense, but his offense has always been at the league's first-tier level.

He doesn't have gorgeous crossovers or passionate dunks, but he can skillfully use his body, three-pointers, mid-range shots, and air-cut layups. He is omnipotent.

Maloney couldn't guard Payton.

Do you want to change Drexler?

Tomjanovich could tell that the Supersonics were using two guards to play their backcourt in turn. Forget about Qin Fei. Once Payton opened it, the game would be really difficult.

Both sides have points that make the other party suffer. This kind of competition is about who can go farther on the verge of violation.

The Rockets introduced Barkley, but did not change the style of play centered on Olajuwon.

The Supersonics are a firm double-team team, there is no way, the lineup is not thick enough.

Since it is double-teaming inside to help defend, the outside will definitely miss people. The Rockets have engaged in so many three-point shooters this year, which just come in handy.

These are two glasses of poisoned wine, and you always have one to choose to drink.

Relatively speaking, it would be better to short Barkley.

But Barkley is not stupid. Although he runs outside the three-point line, he gets more space after getting the ball. It is also a very good choice to make a strong push to accelerate the breakthrough, face the frame and then turn back to the basket to hit the basket.

From the inside out to the inside, this is the rocket art arranged by Tomjanovich.

The two sides formed a mutual explosion situation.

Qin Fei's second chance to attack came from Kemp's pass. He took the ball and easily broke through the defender and rushed to the inside. Olajuwon rushed to the frame out of sight.

Barkley is the last defender, which is not Barkley's specialty.

After Qin Fei jumped up, the 34-year-old Fliggy had no good idea at all. The two collided with each other and used the most primitive way to fight against each other.

It's like bumping into a small O'Neill

Fortunately, Qin Fei was prepared and relied on his own waist.

With a tilt of his body, he found a balance point in the air and flicked the ball out.

This control is quite good, but unfortunately it still suffered some disturbances. The strength of the shot was slightly stronger, the basketball came out of the frame, and Kemp and Perkins under the basket pinched Olajuwon from left to right.

The flying pig who landed immediately got up again, knocked Perkins away and took the rebound.

Barkley is also the one who has won the rebounding title. His continuous jumping ability at the basket is at a historical level, coupled with his strong strength and good judgment of landing points. If he focuses on rebounding, he is not far behind Rodman.

Therefore, there are a lot of strange people and strange things in the NBA. It is amazing that a beast less than two meters can achieve such achievements in the inside with an average height of more than ten centimeters taller than him.

Barkley can push the fast break when he lands.

And he dribbles well and can attack on his own.

But he still went to the defender more routinely to bring the rhythm.

One-stop inside dribbling would be said to be deviant in this era, and what's the use of Barkley dribbling to the frontcourt, he still has to wait for Olajuwon.

The key is that the supersonic retreat is also fast. The kid who was beside him just now came to the front field in the blink of an eye.

Qin Fei opened his arms and bumped into Mario's chest.

Both of them were startled, and they secretly said how powerful they are.

Mario took small steps and landed half a circle around the bottom line. Qin Fei didn't dare to let go of the shooter and followed closely. It wasn't until Olajuwon started singles that he moved laterally, hoping to help prevent harassment.

It's a bit like a jungler. After being blasted in the middle, you have to help. If you don't help, your friend Perkins will hang up immediately.

Olajuwon scored the ball, but Qin Fei's hands were as fast as lightning, and he caught the ball in an instant and intercepted it.

Mistake

This is what the double-teamed player fears most.

On the court, a top star can break the double-team defense, but occasionally makes mistakes. This kind of situation is what the star hates the most, so Olajuwon's face changed.

Qin Fei grabbed the ball, and a black shadow rushed over in front of him. He immediately turned around on the spot to avoid the defensive player's counter-grab.

Straight forward, saw Payton running, a long pass

The pass is big!

"How did you pass the ball!"

Payton yelled and tried his best to grab the ball near the baseline, almost out of the baseline.

At this time, the Rockets have all retreated and are in place, and they did not seize such a momentary opportunity.

Payton returned the ball to Kemp outside the three-point line, then looped out to catch it again.

Qin Fei was a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to test Payton's short-distance sprint ability and braking system. It was just a big pass. He imagined that the pass would reach the free throw line, and then Payton took the ball and took three straight steps, flying to the basket and succeeding.

"Passing the ball isn't enough."

Of course Tomjanovich knew Qin Fei's weakness, but it was useless to know. When Qin Fei was attacking, he didn't know how to hold the ball or organize. He either directly attacked the frame or shot, it was as simple as that.

It's so simple, you have to guard against it!

From the moment Mario came into contact with Qin Fei, he felt that Qin Fei was difficult to deal with. This player has an amazing spirituality in reading the game. When you see him entangled with you aimlessly, he will run out to catch the ball if you don’t pay attention. When he breaks through, he is fast, powerful, and has a mid-range shot. He doesn’t look like a rookie who has only played for a year.

Qin Fei's feeling is that his presence on the court is very low. In the first round against the Timberwolves, it was okay to explode. In the second round against the Suns, his ability to protect the frame inside has almost improved by 1 grades.

He has to go to Olajuwon's blind spot every time to avoid Dameng's defensive area.

And there is no big dream, and there is a flying pig. Although the flying pig is short, it is very strong. When Qin Fei bumped into him, he bounced back. It took a lot of energy to find the balance, and it was difficult to feel the hand when he shot.

Fortunately, the two of them need to rest.

Both Barkley and Olajuwon have to rest.

Tomjanovich's first choice is Olajuwon to rest, and then Barkley starts the full offensive mode to lead the second team. When Barkley rests, he will replace Olajuwon to ensure that the Rockets always have a top player inside.

This tactical arrangement is very stable

It's similar to George Karl arranging Jose and Payton to stagger the control of the court.

In the second quarter of the game, Qin Fei was partnering with Jose in the backcourt.

Jose was also an All-Star in the past. He has a good shot and is the point guard Tomjanovich needs most. If Jose can join the Rockets

Then it really strengthens the weakest part of the Rockets. This team has no weaknesses. The biggest weakness is that the salary is too high, and the boss may feel distressed.

So at present, both teams are attacking from strong points, and the score is very stalemate.

When Qin Fei left the field, it happened to be 34 draws.

Played 8 minutes, contributed 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal.

Qin Fei is still his standard stats. If he still plays like this in the second half, then today is the same as the regular season, and the task has been completed.

As soon as he got off the field, he turned into the VIP fan closest to the stadium, waving and cheering.

Waiting for Kemp to complete the dunk, or Payton to steal Maloney, then stand up and applaud and cheer hard for the big brothers.

Kemp occasionally caught a glimpse of Qin Fei's sincere expression, and his heart warmed.

Qin is really a good assistant
