NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 282 Let's get Bogut down first
The main style of play for the Rockets at the beginning of the game is the same as before. First, take advantage of Dayao's first appearance and the period when he is in the most physical stage, so as to maximize his offensive ability.

Wang Chao frequently hung the ball to Dayao inside, and it was easy for the latter to score the ball against Cousins.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Warriors took advantage of a dead ball to replace Cousins ​​with Bogut.

Bogut's ability to protect the frame is much better than Cousins, and even if he can't defend, he can make Dayao's offense very uncomfortable through some small moves.

Sure enough, within a minute of Bogut's debut, Dayao was pushed on the waist by the latter when he turned around for a layup from a low position, lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground.

"squeak--!"

The referee's whistle blew immediately, and he made a foul without hesitation.

Bogut immediately went to the referee in dissatisfaction, spreading his hands with an innocent expression on his face.

The referee ignored Bogut and turned away.

This is the home court of the Rockets, didn't you hear the curses and boos from the fans outside the court?The game has just started and this is done, do you still want to play the game?

The league officials hope that a team that breaks the Rockets' monopoly will appear in the NBA, but they don't want to appear in this form.

With the popularization and development of the Internet, any small action on the court will be infinitely magnified and continuously spread and brewed on the Internet. This is not the era when many people's knowledge of the NBA was limited to radio and newspapers in the 90s.

Many people now criticize the new era of basketball as being too "weak". Players are submissive on the court and dare not make any major fouls. It is not as good-looking as the NBA in the 90s.

But the vast majority of people who say this have never seen what it was like to play in the NBA in the 90s, and they are just spreading rumors.

Basketball is a sport that has been continuously developed to this day. The splendor and beauty of the game has far surpassed that of the 90s. You can criticize the current NBA for always being influenced by referee whistles, but if someone really thinks that all kinds of If the defensive action of large-scale malicious fouls that cannot prevent the opponent is "exciting", why not just go to the boxing match?That was much better than the NBA.

"It's alright."

Seeing Dayao fell to the ground, Wang Chao immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

The current Dayao is no longer important to the Rockets' tactics. Even if Dayao is not on the court, the Rockets still have someone who can score. When on the court, the Rockets will still have some loopholes on the defensive end. After all, the old Yao's speed no longer allows him to defend outside or even mid-range.

But even so, as long as Dayao is still on the court, he will still be the main offensive core of the team. Wang Chao hopes to give Dayao a perfect retirement tour, retire with the honor of three consecutive championships, and have enough sense of participation Instead of sitting on the sidelines as a mascot, he can only applaud his teammates.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Dayao got up from the ground, jumped on the spot, felt the condition of his ankle, and then smiled at Wang Chao.

Wang Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and when he looked at Bogut, he already showed a bad look.

The Warriors are indeed nb. Raglin alone is not enough to draw hatred. They also have Bogut. In the next few seasons, there will be another Pachulia.

It's kind of disgusting.

Dayao went to the free throw line and made two free throws, and then the Rockets served from the sideline.

Wang Chao received a serve from his teammate and came to the top arc of the three-point line, but his eyes remained on Bogut.

If this disgusting bastard is not dealt with, Wang Chao just feels restless. Who knows if the guy behind him will continue to do dangerous things to Dayao?

Green, who was standing in front of Wang Chao, was still staring at Wang Chao intently. When he saw Wang Chao pause slightly and make a shooting action, he immediately stepped forward and tried to block the shot.

His footsteps had just moved forward, and the next moment Wang Chao withdrew his shooting hand and moved laterally with the ball.

Green immediately adjusted his steps to keep up, but he bumped firmly into Leonard who ran over to cover Wang Chao's pick-and-roll.

Barnes, who was in charge of guarding Leonard, hurried forward to make up the defense, for fear of giving Wang Chao a chance to make a shot.

Being in the Warriors, Barnes is very familiar with Curry and Thompson's most used trick, the three-point shot after the pick-and-roll screen. He also knows very well that Curry and Thompson learned this trick from Wang Chao.

It's just that Barnes' judgment was wrong.

After the pick-and-roll screen, Wang Chao did not directly shoot a three-pointer, but accelerated with the ball and went straight to the basket.

Barnes, whose defensive position was too far forward, had no time to adjust his footsteps, and watched Wang Chao rush to the basket at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Bogut, who was standing under the basket, immediately took the initiative to greet him, raised his hands high in front of Wang Chao, the fierce light in his eyes flickered, and he was ready in his heart. Throw an elbow and give this kid a hard time!

Bogut, who just received a physical foul, is not worried about his foul at all. Originally, he is now a backup blue-collar center for the Warriors, and his playing time is limited. Even if he is blown off, the Warriors still have Cousins exist.

Being able to abolish either Dayao or Wang Chao and achieve a one-for-one exchange is a sure-fire deal for Bogut.

But Bogut didn't know that there was also a fierce light in Wang Chao's eyes at this time.

His goal is also Bogut. If he doesn't let this guy go on, he will have trouble sleeping and eating. The goal of Wang Chao's goal is to go straight to Bogut.

Wang Chao's breakthrough speed with the ball was extremely fast, and he rushed into the penalty area in a flash and took off directly without hesitation.

On the Rockets' bench, McHale twitched his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

Wang Chao is really daring, isn't he afraid of getting hurt?

It's no secret in the league that Bogut's defensive actions are fierce. Just now he fouled Dayao maliciously, so he has to hit the gun?
This scene also made the hearts of the Rockets home fans hang.

At the same time, the expression on Bogut's face became a little astonished, because when Wang Chao approached, he realized that the opponent's jump height was much higher than he imagined!

"This guy!"

In an instant, Bogut was overwhelmed by Wang Chao. He didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously wanted to stop Wang Chao, but due to the lack of take-off height, he couldn't even push Wang Chao's waist.

"No, I can't stop it!"

As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, Bogut felt a huge force rushing towards his face. Wang Chao almost rode on Bogut's face, and dunked the basketball hard into the basket with a one-armed tomahawk dunk.

"boom--!"

The fans in the audience instantly boiled.

hard!It's so fucking hard!

Wang Chao dunks Bogut and forcefully dunks the basketball into the basket. This scene is repeatedly played on the big screen above the court.

When Wang Chao reached the highest point after taking off, his head had completely passed the basket, while Bogut could only reach the position of Wang Chao's chest even with his raised hands. The moment the two collided, Bogut seemed to be hit by a heavy The truck seemed to be knocked down, and flew out on its back.

This ball fully interprets what is the violent aesthetics of basketball.

In terms of the brutality of this ball alone, it completely exploded Griffin's classic buckle of the century.

"squeak--!"

It wasn't until Wang Chao landed that the referee's whistle came late, and even the referee was frightened by Wang Chao's dunk.

The whistle sounded, Bogut made a defensive foul, and Wang Chao continued to add a free throw.

Bogut, who was knocked to the ground by Wang Chao's continuous acceleration and extremely impactful collision, lost his mind instantly when he heard the referee's penalty, and immediately got up and shouted at the referee in protest.

"Did you make a mistake! That was definitely an offensive foul just now! Are you blind?"

"squeak--!"

The referee blew the whistle again without hesitation, signaling a technical foul by Bogut.

This time the Rockets home fans cheered even louder.

Bogut had a physical foul on Dayao before, and with this technical foul, he was immediately expelled from the game 1+1!
It took less than a minute from Bogut's debut to his expulsion.

Warriors head coach Cole opened his mouth in bewilderment, and hurried over to negotiate with the referee, but he knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible to take back the penalty that the referee had blown out, and Bogut's behavior just now was blown off the field. Black whistle, including when he was defending Wang Chao just now, was also very dangerous, but Wang Chao was fast enough and took off high enough to prevent Bogut from succeeding.

Therefore, Cole negotiated with the referee, in fact, the real purpose is to put pressure on the referee, so that the opponent will lean towards the Warriors in the follow-up whistleblowing standards.

Bogut was blown off the field, which is not a particularly serious loss for the Warriors. After all, Cousins ​​​​is the mainstay of the team's inside line, and the former is just a blue-collar player on the bench.

But for the Rockets, especially Dayao, Bogut's expulsion from the field gave him more opportunities to show off on the offensive end, without worrying about being injured by criminals.

In this short 1 minute, there was a body violation, a defensive foul and a technical foul.

The Warriors' inexplicable free throws gave the Rockets 5 points in vain. What's more terrible is that after the free throws, the Rockets still own the ball.

Dayao received the ball from the inside, and Cousins ​​turned around with his back and easily scored the ball with a small hook.

Not long after the start of the first quarter, the Rockets established a double-digit score advantage.

With Bogut's lessons learned, Green did not dare to make too many moves in the subsequent defense.

In the first quarter of the game, the score between the two sides was 36:25, and the Rockets led by 11 points.

What made the Warriors feel the most helpless was that when Dayao came off the court to rest, the Warriors still had no way to catch up with the score. Whether it was the Splash Brothers on the Warriors' side who made a three-pointer from the outside, or Cousins ​​from the inside who made an attack, The Rockets will always respond as soon as possible.

As in the regular season, the Warriors were completely unable to limit the Rockets' scoring.

In order to strengthen the perimeter defense, Barnes has been replaced and replaced by Iguodala, who has a better defense, but even so it still doesn't work.

The Rockets' style of play is very simple and straightforward, that is, dislocation singles after the pick-and-roll.

Whether it is Wang Chao, Leonard, Butler, or even Middleton, as long as the defensive player facing Curry, he will not hesitate to play singles with the ball.

This is the tactic that Harden Paul's Rockets won the Best Fighting Award against the Warriors in the future.

Unlimited pick-and-roll cover dislocation, just staring at Curry's military training alone, consuming Curry's physical energy to the maximum.

Although Curry is often called underestimated for his defensive ability, his actual defensive ability is not bad among point guards.

But everyone knows that the so-called underestimated defensive ability just means that Curry's defense is at the upper-middle level among guards, not that his defense is actually very good.

The point guard is limited by his height and is recognized as the weakest defensive position in the league. It is difficult to effectively defend against opponents who are taller and stronger than him in other positions.

Coincidentally, the players on the Rockets are all strikers who are far taller than him.

Wang Chao, Leonard, and Butler took turns to train Curry, making breakthroughs with the ball and causing damage, tearing the Warriors' defensive system to pieces. Other Warriors players can't do anything if they want to help, because the players on the Rockets are similar to the Warriors , are all players who can shoot beyond the three-point line and have relatively accurate shooting ability. It is a death-seeking behavior to let them shoot open shots.

In the second quarter of the game, Curry consumed a lot of physical energy during the Rockets' frequent pick-and-roll dislocations, and had to be replaced for a rest to avoid the edge.

It’s just the Warriors in the 14-15 season, not the invincible cosmic bravery of Durant in addition to Curry in the 17-18 season. Even if Curry is over-consumed on the defensive end, Durant can score and lead the Warriors to win. .

At this stage of the Warriors, once Curry is contained, the team can rely on Thompson and Cousins.

Thompson himself was born off the ball, and his ability to hold the ball is weak. More importantly, Leonard is responsible for defending Thompson in this game. Death Coil is not a joke. Leonard, in serious situations, It's not difficult to lock a Thompson, unless Thompson turns on the Buddha's Radiance mode, but the Buddha's Radiance itself is a passive skill, and it's not something Thompson can activate if he wants to.

As for Cousins, although Dayao is off, Whiteside is the next to replace him.

Although Whiteside was not shortlisted for the best defensive team due to limited playing time this season, there is no doubt that his defensive ability is strong. Cousins ​​felt it immediately after his matchup. Derby Dayao is much more difficult to deal with. After all, Dayao can only protect the frame under the basket, and Whiteside can defend outside the penalty area.

Originally, Cousins' playing style was relatively soft. More than 4% of his scoring offenses came from face-up shots. This is also as an inside player. The reason why the qualified line was not reached.

You must know that Nowitzki has a career shooting percentage of 47%.

This style of playing face-to-face shooting just hit Whiteside's gun.

Let Whiteside, who can run and jump, defend Dayao. Randolph, a heavy insider, is limited by tonnage and strength, and he cannot defend him.

But Whiteside, who defends face-up shots and bounces comparable to Jordan, is his favorite.
