I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 159
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets were still competing with the main lineup.

After playing for less than 5 minutes, Adelman made substitution adjustments.

It's really hard to fight with the main force!

The Rockets' "Big Three" still have an old problem. They are all crowded on the strong side of the ball, unable to open up the offensive space.

This is also something that can’t be helped. The Big Three all have the ability and willingness to take the initiative to attack with the ball, and no one is willing to assist others.

In fact, it cannot be completely said that he is unwilling, at least Yao Ming still has the spirit of sacrifice.

But the Princeton system emphasizes the support of the center. If the ball is needed tactically, he must ask for the ball on the strong side and support the offense.Therefore, even if he is willing to play support on the weak side, Adelman will not allow him to do so.

Both Scola and Alstom have obvious shortcomings on the weak side.

The styles of both are soft, and the direct damage to the basket is not enough.

Scola's floor flow style is a bit slow, and he is easily blocked by the opponent's powerful inside line. Alston's three-pointer belongs to Duan Yu's six-pulse sword, which is not timely.

Adelman can't move the Big Three, so he can only take the weak side of the two troubled brothers.

Scola and Alston were replaced, Dorsey and Brooks on.

The mission is still the same: keep attacking on the weak side.

Adelman prayed secretly in his heart: Tracy McGrady, stop being self-willed, and assume the responsibility of a team leader!
Dorsey was also beating drums in his heart: he didn't know how effective his bathroom meeting with McGrady was.

He didn't notice that when he walked onto the court, McGrady also secretly glanced at him, frowning thoughtfully.

The Rockets attacked, and Brooks was responsible for driving the ball forward. The speed was very fast, but in the opponent's half, the speed dropped immediately, and the ball obediently passed to McGrady's hands.

McGrady holds the ball in place and observes the situation.

The situation seemed to be the same as before, Yao Ming got stuck inside and asked for the ball, Metta Shiping waited outside the three-point line on the strong side for a response.

The new Brooks is outside the three-point line on the weak side, and the weak side is under the basket, huh?What about the guy on the weak side?
McGrady raised his drooping eyelids to look for it, but found that Dorsey ran out from the basket at some point, and ran to his side!
What is he doing?
Immediately, McGrady understood that Dorsey was going to do a pick-and-roll for himself.

Dorsey's move was very subtle, "Sneak into the village, don't shoot." Even McGrady, who organized the offense, didn't notice it, let alone other people. Gasol was still in a daze under the basket and didn't pay attention at all. By the time Dorsey had slipped away from behind him like a loach!

McGrady hesitated for half a second, but decided to use Dorsey's cover.

He moved toward Dorsey with the ball, and Dorsey's body skirted Kobe's close-up.

At this time, Gasol also noticed Dorsey's movement, and quickly pulled it out, just in front of McGrady.

Just a little resistance like this, Kobe followed like a shadow.

But Dorsey was free, and he immediately rushed to the basket, asking McGrady for the ball while running.

Now there is no one around him, and the pass is a chance for an open dunk.

The audience at Staples screamed "Ouch". Everyone knows that this rookie of the Rockets will shine with a little sunshine. Top ten dunks.

Sure enough, McGrady passed.

But the ball did not fly to the unguarded Dorsey, but passed to Brooks on the outside.

Brooks received the ball and was obviously underprepared. Fortunately, Jordan Farmer, who let him go, didn't expect McGrady to deal with it like this. He slowed down a bit, giving Brooks a chance to make a hasty shot.

But after all, he was not ready, the ball hit the iron, and the bullet came out of the frame.

Dorsey, Yao Ming, and Bynum competed for rebounds. Although Dorsey was the shortest, he jumped the highest. In addition, no one let go.

He showed a super continuous jumping ability. As soon as his foot landed, he immediately bounced up again like stepping on a spring, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

It's a pity that the ball was dunked on the spot, which was not enough to watch, so he definitely couldn't score the top ten goals. More importantly, the system didn't think it was a goal in a sports game, and the progress bar of the task remained unchanged.

"FUCK, it's a waste of work" Dorsey cursed inwardly.He raised his eyes to look at McGrady, but saw the other party running back expressionlessly.

In the studio, Barkley said with a smile: "I still don't pass it to Dorsey. It seems that the two have a deep relationship!"

Van Gundy rated it with just one word: "Willful!"

Back to the head, Kobe Bryant, the leader of the Lakers, used the cover of his teammates to make an air cut on the weak side and scored a layup.

Barkley: "Compared to the Rockets, the Lakers scored too easily."

Van Gundy: "The Lakers have benefited from Kobe's changes. Now his style of play does not occupy too much possession of the ball, making the team's style of play smoother and more efficient."

After Kobe scored a layup, McGrady, who was left behind by him, bent down and put his hands on his knees, looking very tired. He looked at Kobe's back easily going away, and fell into deep thought again.

Attacking again, the Rockets' offense was still difficult to advance on the strong side. The ball came to McGrady's hands and stagnated again.

The Staples home crowd booed.

Someone else prodded McGrady in the stands, "Hey, Tracy, don't you dare to break through?"

"You'll never catch Kobe!"

"With you here, the Rockets can't get anything!"

……

The muscles on McGrady's face were trembling slightly, and he broke through again with the ball, this time without even the cover of his teammates.

McGrady's anger is beyond the charts, but Kobe is also full of fighting spirit, wrapping tightly around McGrady like a mamba snake, not giving him any chance.

After a sudden pause, McGrady suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap carefully prepared by the Lakers.

At some point, Kobe, Vucevic and Gasol surrounded him.

At this time, the connection between him and his teammates was cut off, and it was already very difficult to find Yao Ming and Ci Shiping.

I can only cast hard!
However, as a former scoring champion, McGrady's offensive intuition told him that if he was hard-headed, he would not make it in all likelihood, and he might be blocked.

How to do?
Suddenly he saw a figure in a red team uniform, cruising over quickly, and appeared in an unguarded position.

McGrady had no choice but to pass the ball.

That's Dorsey, because Gasol went to guard McGrady, and there is no one around him at the moment.

He got the ball, rushed to the basket in one stride, rounded his arms, and slammed a 360-degree windmill.

The sound of a ferocious slam dunk resounded through the sky of the Staples Center again, and the home audience was once again shocked by a shot enough to win the slam dunk contest.

The full score slam dunk was deeply shocked.

In the studio, Barkley yelled wildly: "Oh! He's here! He's here again! I like this kid! The way he plays is so much to my liking!"

Van Gundy was much more sensible: "The dunk was wonderful, but more importantly, the pass was made by McGrady! McGrady finally gave Dorsey a pass!"

After the slam dunk was successful, Dorsey ran to McGrady immediately, stretched out his hand, and wanted to clap.

Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. After all, they are the bosses and seniors. It is also right to take the initiative and lower your posture.

But McGrady didn't reach out, and said coldly: "I hate you very much, I pass you the ball just for the team!"

After finishing speaking, he ran back.

Dorsey got bored, but he didn't mind, whatever you say, the ball was passed anyway.

Dorsey snickered: "You say no, but your body is very honest! What are you talking about for the team, high-sounding! It's not about surpassing your good friend Kobe!"

McGrady was forced to speak out for the first time, but it seemed like a floodgate had been completely opened in his heart.

With the first time, I don't care about the second, third, fourth time...

It doesn't matter if you figure it out, or you break the can and smash it, anyway, if you break your defenses, this game will be easy to play.
