Chapter 437. 438. D'Antoni's Persistence
"Take Gary!"

With a low growl, Lao Zhan threw the ball to Lin Feng who was standing at the top of the arc.

Facing Paul again, he leaned over as if preparing to start.

"WTF? Come here, kid." Paul kept muttering, and then lowered his body to defend.

But Lin Feng didn't do anything, he got up in three seconds and made a three-pointer!

"He's crazy! Absolutely crazy!" Tucker yelled in the corner, and then watched the basketball arc into the net!
Just like having a magical shot with a three-second prediction, Lin Feng felt his whole body was burning.

"Did you see that buddy, this is my true strength!" Lin Feng breathed out while stepping back.

His trash talk is clear enough to be heard in the front row of the audience, and those fans have been complaining to the referees that he should get a technical foul, but this is not in the rules.

The league allows proper confrontation between opponents, which can increase the excitement of the game and earn more ratings.

Howard is back on the court, and he's powerful around the basket.The Rockets' offense began to rely on the outside attack group, and Lin Feng's close defense made Harden very uncomfortable.

With his height of 190 centimeters, he fights with the Rockets' two cores. Harden is looking for opportunities on the outside. Lin Feng has been in a single defense state and never leaves him.

"Come here!"

Paul tried to go around to catch the ball, Rondo hardly gave him any chances, and the 183 cm height disadvantage made Paul even unable to see the situation there.

Howard at the basket is obviously stronger than Capela, and the two fight each other without the ball.

After Lin Feng made that three-pointer, the situation on the field changed instantly, like a confrontation with the intensity of the playoffs.

There was no strong three-pointer. Howard took off the rebound and threw it to Lao Zhan. The latter took advantage of the unstable Rockets defense and dribbled across the half court.

Lin Feng was in a hot state, and took the initiative to go around to catch the ball. Paul ran all the way back to get stuck, and was shaken by him not long after he stood still.

Turn over and hit the board jumper!

Lin Feng's body flew into the air, and the whole arena seemed to be quiet.He saw Paul's ferocious face in the air. After the guy got up, he tried to block the shot with his hands open, but Lin Feng's shot point was very high, and it was not easy to block him.

His body is leaning back, the angle is not large, but it is enough to bypass Paul's block.

There is only the basket in front of me, no other pictures, and no sound!
The earth is flat, I'm the stadium killer, I'm the king of Los Angeles.

At this moment, all the dangers in the penalty area on the basketball court are as flat as walking on the ground, as flat as the ocean.

Kyrie Irving, who put on the championship ring early, inspired him, the pride of the king, the paranoia and the broad mind.

When the basketball was shot, Lin Feng smiled. He knew that the goal would undoubtedly be scored, and he was inexplicably strong and confident.

And Paul, who was shaken continuously, immediately turned around and shouted for rebounds!
But the basketball that has drawn through a wonderful arc is hollow and enters the net!

At the 33rd point, Lin Feng held up his hands and stretched out three fingers each, crossing the [-]-point mark in an instant. He wanted to hit his personal record and take away a victory at the same time.

"You can't stop me, even with those small moves."

Lin Feng yelled at Chris Paul, and the camera clearly captured the whole process of his yelling, and soon flew to the whole world along with the Internet.

Paul frowned, muttering in his mouth, preparing to catch the baseline and serve.

With James on the team, others never need to show too much playmaking talent, just need to be ready to send the ball to the basket at any time.

In a sense, Lin Feng's talent matches Lao Zhan's passing ability quite well.

The Rockets' offense seemed a little flustered. They relied too much on outside shooting and couldn't get a good shot.

Harden's desperate layup was blocked by Howard, and then the young man quickly counterattacked!
Harden had just been capped here, and Yingge was almost halftime over there. Lao Zhan's quarterback's long pass accurately found him, and then Euro Bufei made a layup.

The whole process took only three seconds, and the Lakers completed the process from blocking shots to scoring.

Through accurate data analysis, the Rockets management believes that scoring at the basket is the most efficient, and the three-pointer is much more cost-effective than the mid-range, so it emphasizes the basket and three-pointers, and abandons the low-cost mid-range shot. This is the magic ball theory .

And D'Antoni's bombardment tactics just fit this theory, so he took the position of Rockets coach.

The Rockets' tactics require high shooting accuracy, emphasizing the speed of offensive and defensive transitions and the speed of the ball, and try to complete the attack within 7 seconds without waiting for the opponent to settle.

And when the fast break fails to fall into the position, you need to pull out the inside line to pick and roll and go down, and then choose to break through or go down for a dunk or choose an outside three-pointer.

This means that the game often opens and closes, and it is normal to have high scores and high losses.

With the arrival of Paul, they revised and upgraded their running and bombing tactics.

With dual cores in the backcourt, he abandoned the fast attack and fell into positional warfare.

The point guard plays singles with the ball, others open up the space, and the player at the fifth position comes out with a high pick-and-roll, resulting in a variety of offensive options.

Harden and Paul rely on their personal ability to break through or the center feeds the pie down or the outside three-pointer. The simple operation of a variety of options makes them very happy in the league.

And tonight they ran into the same dual-core driven Lakers, but the Lakers' dual-core is a bit different, the all-around small forward LeBron James and the impactful rookie Gary Smith.

Wharton's strategy when dealing with the Rockets' unlimited defense changes is to play misplaced, relying on inside rushing attack power to consume the physical energy of Rockets players, especially court controllers like Harden and Paul.

The ball just now showed this tactic to the fullest. When the outside line was blocked and Harden hit the basket and was blocked, the Rockets players did not have enough physical strength to chase Yingge who was about to go down. They could only watch him helplessly. Layup.

However, D'Antoni doesn't think his tactics have failed, he still insists on self-confidence and maintains his obsession with magic ball theory.

Facts have proved that D'Antoni is a great coach, but not a championship coach.

His infinite switching tactics caused the Lakers to play a lot of dislocations tonight. Howard has had several direct contests with players of Eric Gordon's size under the basket.

No timeout was called, D'Antoni stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, expressionless, with stubbornness written on his face.

The game continued, Paul held the ball for halftime, it can be seen that he had exhausted a lot of energy in the fight with Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, who scored 33 points, is still physically fit, which is the talent bonus of young players.

The ball was transferred to Harden, and Capela mentioned a high screen in exchange for Howard's defense.

Small fight big, this is their favorite routine.

Harden quickly started to hit the basket after a low dribble. Howard's stride was too big and he was thrown behind him. Lao Zhan quickly defended from the basket.

Tucker was emptied, Harden quickly passed the ball, and Lin Feng had rushed to interfere. Although he was one step short, Tucker, who shot the three-pointer, still had lingering fears.

Three do not stick!
In a scene that disappointed all the fans, the ball thrown by Tucker did not touch any object and fell directly into the hands of Lao Zhan.

The audience sighed, and D'Antoni touched his forehead with complicated emotions.

At this time, the Lakers are flying with both wings!
Lin Feng and Yingge quickly rushed to the audience, one left and one right. Paul and Gordon, who had already exhausted a lot of energy, could only run back desperately.

But how could they be the opponents of the young people, the Lakers' wings threw them off like two bolts of lightning.

And Lao Zhan faced the troubles of happiness, thinking for half a second, he threw the ball to Yingge, who was slightly behind, so as to ensure a high success rate of half-court passes.

Yingge was not greedy either. After catching the ball, he threw it directly to the basket. Lin Feng, who had already reached the basket, jumped high and poured the ball into the basket with both hands!

The entire Toyota Center Arena fell into silence.
