I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 165 No One Available
In a battle with the Mavericks, Dorsey played superbly in the first quarter and beat Dampier in the center duel, but the score between the two teams was that the Mavericks were slightly ahead.

This is enough to show that in other positions, the Rockets are almost at a disadvantage.

Needless to say, the power forward position, Scola is far from the opponent of the German chariot Dirk Nowitzki;
Point guard, although the streetball king came back from the ban, but facing the old Kidd who is both offensive and defensive, he couldn't score as easily as he faced Nash. Instead, he was taught by Kidd's sudden changes of direction and breakthrough points. .

Small forward Artest injured his ankle and Battier stepped in.Although Battier was able to limit Howard's offense, his own offense was also limited by Howard.

In the end, only shooting guard is left.

This is also the only point where the Rockets have an advantage in terms of paper strength.

Although McGrady's state fluctuates a lot, and he sprained his knee in the last game, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and he still has an advantage compared with Terry.

It stands to reason that the difference in strength between the two is as obvious as the annual salary of the two, one gets $920 million and the other $2037 million.

However, when it comes to fighting, it is not the same thing at all.

According to the "Law of State Conservation of the Rockets' Big Three", there will always be one in good condition and one in particularly poor condition in each game.In this game, both Yao Ming and Ci Shiping were injured. Normally, McGrady should be in good condition.But in the game, people discovered that the injuries were not included in the law at all!

Maddy's spirit is very lax.

Although after Dorsey played, he passed a few good passes, and got 4 assists in the first quarter alone.

But in terms of personal attack, he seemed very hesitant and slow.

If you observe carefully, you will also find that he will bend down and touch his knees from time to time.

Although the team doctor said he could play, he didn't think so in his own heart.

The contradiction between him and the Rockets doctor Keith Jones has not been a day or two. Last season, when McGrady complained about his waist discomfort, Jones asked him to have an MRI examination, but McGrady refused, claiming that he knew about his situation.

For a period of time last season, Jones gave a suggestion to let McGrady rest for a while, but McGrady still refused and asked the team to guarantee his right to play.

For this reason, Jones once complained in private: "I can't cure McGrady's injury, because I'm not a psychiatrist!"

This time McGrady was going to have a truce, but Yao Ming and Ci Shiping couldn't fight, so he reluctantly played at Adelman's strong request.

But the discomfort of his knee made McGrady afraid to use his strength, which also determined that his sharpest weapon "breakthrough" was locked in the arsenal, and he could only attack the opponent's basket with a standing pull.

However, when the knees dare not fully exert their strength, this attack method is purely dependent on the sky.

In fact, McGrady's shooting percentage has dropped significantly this season, and his shooting percentage has dropped below 40%, which is the first time in his career.

Now McGrady seems to have taken over the nerve knife in Alston's hand and has become the most unreliable existence on the team.

Now the Rockets' only reliable offensive point is the first-year rookie Joey Dorsey!

It's no wonder that the point difference between the Rockets and the Mavericks has gradually widened.

At the end of the second quarter, the score had been stretched to 56:43.

During the intermission, Adelman had to announce: the team's main attack point in the second half was inside.

With Scola being overshadowed by Nowitzki, the real meaning of this sentence is: Dorsey, a rookie, will become the team's main attack point.

Dorsey was surprised and delighted, he accepted the order in the face of danger, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the coach. Of course he was a little excited, but can he carry such a big rocket on his shoulders?Moreover, he is very sure that the Mavericks will not let his rookie play wild under the basket at will.

At the end of the second quarter, Dorsey had already vaguely smelled a bad sign, and the opponent's style of play seemed to have changed somewhat.But Adelman did not make any adjustments, and now he can only pray because he is thinking too much.

However, as soon as the third quarter came up, Dorsey found that he had guessed correctly, and the opponent really adjusted his defensive deployment.

Dorsey asked for the ball inside and was about to play Diop in singles, but found that there was another person beside him, and it was Nowitzki!
The Mavericks even used double teams to defend themselves!And it was Nowitzki who defended himself!
If you think about it in normal times, Dorsey will feel very honored and embarrassing!

However, now he only feels a headache.

It's not easy to play a solid defensive Diop alone, let alone add Nowitzki.

Dorsey is very strange, Nuo Tianwang, why don't you go to trouble with diamonds, why come to guard against me?Don't you know that Scola's offense is powerful?
He wanted to pass the ball to Scola, but under the attack of Diop and Nowitzki, he couldn't find a suitable line.

But it doesn't matter, Dorsey's brain is not as inflexible as Dampier's. If he can't find the line, then pass back and let other teammates pass to Scola. A big roundabout will form a big encirclement!
The ball was passed back to Alston. However, the streetball king is really not an excellent passer. He didn't notice Scola who was open at the first time, but handed the ball to McGrady habitually. .

When McGrady passed the ball to Diamond again, Nuo Tianwang had already returned to defense!

The attack failed.

But it doesn't matter, come back next time, Alstom can't miss Scola every time!
For the Rockets' next attack, the Mavericks still double-teamed Dorsey, but this time it was Howard who helped defend.

When Howard came over, Battier must be open. Dorsey looked for Battier, but the Mavericks were very ghostly. Battier was at the far end of the court, far away from Dorsey, and there were other players in the middle.

With Dorsey's current passing skills, he is not sure that he can pass the ball to Battier for a long distance.

So he handed the ball to McGrady, and asked McGrady to go to Battier again, but after such an interval, the Mavericks quickly rotated, and some defensive players went to guard Battier.

The ball was in Shane Battier's hands, and it was no longer a particularly good opportunity to open up. He could only barely shoot, hit the iron!

But Dorsey was very active, grabbed the offensive rebound before Diop, and then quickly passed to the three-point line. McGrady caught the ball and took off to shoot.

However, his scruples about knee injuries prevented him from exerting full strength, and he barely took off at a height less than half of his usual height.

This time the rebound was grabbed by Nowitzki.

The two consecutive offenses failed, which made Adelman on the sidelines understand that as an old Jianghu, he had already understood the calculation of the Mavericks.

The opponent is betting.

Bet on young Joey Dorsey not being able to pass the ball all the way up the court.

bet on the speed of their own rotations;

Bet more on the Rockets' open field goal percentage.

From now on, they won the bet.

He can't ask the young Dorsey to do more. As a rookie, he can actually attract the opponent to double-team the defense, and he still needs a bicycle.

And the rotation speed of the Mavericks is not what he can interfere with. The opponent did a good job in this game, and the rotation speed is very fast.

All I can think of is to increase my shooting percentage.

However, the players on the court are not in good condition, and they can't make any open shots. How much can we expect from them.

On the field, Alston's bottom-line three-pointer actually made a "over the bridge", which attracted boos and some scolding in the Toyota Center.

Adelman closed his eyes, tilted his head, and sighed to the sky, what kind of stuff is there in his team?Who the hell said that their lineup could win the championship?Stand up for me, I promise not to kill you!

The players on the field are unreliable, so let's look at the bench.

Brooks, um, is also a nerve knife, but at least it is much more accurate than Alstom,
Brent Barry, not bad, a bit old, but serviceable, if McGrady is still so dead, put him in;

Landry, uh, look again;
Hayes, what the hell am I thinking!
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure at the end of the bench, Steve Novak!

How many people in his own team, or even in the entire league, are more accurate than him?

But... let's wait and see!
