Chapter 712 Artest's Abacus!
Substitutes for both teams!The Rockets' bench and the Lakers' bench are two opposite examples. The Lakers used to have a strong offense and a mediocre defense. In general, the Lakers' bench players don't defend much!
On the contrary, the Rockets basically don't have any offensive ability. They are all players with good defense and can resist. What kind of meat shield players like Hayes, only Carl Landry and Bunche Wells have good offensive ability. In fact, there was Steve Novak who shot a three-pointer before, but he was traded by Morey when he traded Artest!The current Rockets' bench offense and defense are fairly balanced!
The Lakers are actually changing to this situation, but Zen Master still wants to retain the offensive ability of the substitute team, so the defensive training requirements of Zen Master's substitute players on the training ground are strict!
As for others, including the newcomers Shannon Brown and Robin Lopez, there is no requirement. After all, they are traded because they have their own characteristics!Shannon Brown has a strong impact, and he rushes very hard when he is on the fast break!
On the contrary, the performance of Robin Lopez and Sun Dasheng made Zen master very excited. These two people can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, with mid-range shooting and good defensive ability. They are the candidates that Zen master needs in his heart!
This is also the reason why Sun Dasheng's playing time increased in these two games. Sun Dasheng himself felt this change and worked harder to train!
Back on the field, the offense from the substitutes was nothing to watch. One side was attacking and the other was defending, so it could be regarded as mutual attack!The Rockets' bench lineup is quite targeted for the Lakers' bench lineup!Although the Lakers' substitute players played their own offensive rhythm, the score was not opened!

Van Gundy is also quite pleased to see such a situation, he is very satisfied with this transaction!

After the substitute came off the field, the main players of the two teams played!The current score on the field is: 38:42!The Lakers lead their opponents by 4 points!
The difference of 4 points is still not much difference for the 5-minute game in the second quarter!The game continued, the Rockets had the ball, McGrady controlled the ball for half court, and asked for a screen against Artest. Artest's strong body blocked Kobe from the outside, McGrady went inside, Battier Go to the defense!
Seeing that McGrady stopped suddenly, Battier was a little confused. After watching it, McGrady changed his rhythm and started again when Battier didn't respond. The speed was so fast that he passed Battier in an instant. up!Even though Battier tried his best to chase and defend, McGrady was still one position ahead and continued to expand!

At this time, He Yiming wanted to go out to defend, but Dayao saw through He Yiming's intentions and got stuck in front of He Yiming!By the time He Yiming got rid of Dayao, McGrady had already stopped and shot a jumper!Gasol on the other side also couldn't catch up. He was just pulled out of the inside line and couldn't return to the defense in time!
"Swipe!" The goal was scored, and the Rockets recovered two points!

However, the Lakers were not to be outdone. Kobe once again broke through Artest's defense, then made an emergency stop and scored a goal!This ball made Artest feel a little inexplicable in his heart!
The game continued, and the Rockets also launched their own offensive strength. McGrady assisted Dayao, and Dayao attracted He Yiming's defense, and gave the ball to Artest on the three-point line. Oh, He Yiming never thought that a rough guy like Artest could still have a three-pointer!
But it's not just Artest who has three-pointers, He Yiming also has three-pointers himself.In the transition between offense and defense, He Yiming did not go in and get stuck with Dayao this time, but helped Kobe set a screen to help him block McGrady, and then moved directly to the right 30° three-point line position!

Kobe cut to the inside, and Artest rushed over to make up the defense. This time he was in a good position. If he was an ordinary person, he might stop to make up the defense directly, or he would just choose to pass the ball directly!

But Kobe is not an ordinary person. He turned around and blocked Artest's position and was about to pass. Artest was a little anxious, and he directly stretched out his left hand against Kobe's abdomen. Kobe was a little slower when he turned around!
But this action is against the rules. It's a bit like going to a card and withdrawing from someone's house. If one is not careful, there is a danger of breaking his leg!This action is the same, if Kobe doesn't dodge, Artest will hit Kobe's ribs hard!
But Artest didn't use any force, and Kobe just avoided it!But with such a flash, Kobe has no chance to break into the inside line, and Dayao in the inside line is already prepared!
At this time, Kobe saw He Yiming's position, and directly passed the ball to He Yiming with a cross pass!When He Yiming received the ball and opened his hand, he made a three-pointer!The referee signaled that the three-pointer is valid!But the referee didn't blow Artest's foul!
Artest glanced at He Yiming, wondering what he was thinking!
The Lakers also responded with a three-pointer, and the score between the two sides has been hovering between 2 and 4 points!The game continued, and both teams played well on offense!
The Rockets didn't boo the Lakers' offense, and continued to follow their own rhythm. McGrady made a three-pointer and scored a breakthrough. Yao also responded with two mid-range shots, both of which were hits!Artest also showed his true skills and scored 3 points!
The Lakers also responded one by one!Kobe broke through for a layup, or made an emergency stop and a fadeaway jumper!He Yiming also scored two goals by relying on his footsteps in the interior. He Yiming didn't go out to the interior, so Gasol would have room!
Gasol made consecutive hits from outside the penalty area, one inside and one outside, which made the inside players of the Rockets feel a little uncomfortable!The inside strength of the Lakers is undoubtedly revealed at this moment!At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams came to 44:50!The Lakers led their opponents by 6 points and entered the second half! "Beep!" Listening to the whistle, Artest returned to his seat, looked up at the score, and silently calculated something in his heart!
