against the front

Chapter 48 Victory
"Hey, the king didn't call a timeout. Are they planning to complete this attack quickly? Although this strategy seems correct, in order to leave enough time for the next attack, they must complete it in a very short time This attack, such a shot is too hasty, it is very difficult to fight, if the Rockets take the opportunity to counterattack, then the king will be in trouble."

Obviously, when the King was ready to complete the attack in a very short time to take the initiative of the game in his own hands, the commentator on the sidelines was obviously not optimistic about the King. The Rockets' defense itself It is very good, as evidenced by the poor performance of the king's two main players, Kevin Martin and John Salmons, in this game. We must strive to complete it in the shortest possible time. Therefore, in their view, it is very difficult for the King's attack to be completed.

After holding the ball in the backcourt, Benno Udrih, who was instructed by head coach Reggie Toyes, increased his speed to the fastest in a very short period of time, preparing to rush forward in the shortest possible time. Go to the frontcourt, and then take advantage of the Rockets' unsteady foothold to directly attack the Rockets' basket.

"This big guy is so fast!"

When Beno Udrih was slapping the basketball and advancing towards the frontcourt, Yan Hua, who had sent the baseline ball, was also running towards the frontcourt at high speed. Yan Hua's sprint speed was so fast that even John - Salmons was left behind, and after halftime, Yan Hua didn't stay near the top of the arc and wait for his teammates to respond as he did in the previous attacks, but continued to rush towards the paint area. Hua's goal is very clear, that is the offensive rebound. It's okay to say that Benno Udrih made a shot. If he misses the shot, Yan Hua will rush to grab the offensive rebound as soon as possible. Don't let the Rockets take the opportunity to launch a fast break.

In today's game, the Rockets' defensive focus has always been on Kevin Martin and John Salmons. It exploded, but the Rockets didn't let up on Kevin Martin and John Salmons, and in this offense, Ron Artest and Shane Battier were still on both of them. One of them has been taken care of, for fear that they will suddenly jump out and hit a key ball.

So Benno Udrih, who was advancing with the ball, rushed to the left side of the three-point line very logically, but when Benno Udrih grabbed the basketball and continued to move forward, the Rockets players on the court also reacted Come over, Luis Scola and Ralph Alston, who retreated to the backcourt first, rushed forward to delay Benno Udri's offense and waited for other teammates to retreat, while the other continued to retreat towards the basket. Be prepared just in case.

Benno Udri, whose offense was blocked, didn't think much at all. He threw the basketball in his hand next to Ralph Alston. What if he got in? Wouldn't he be a hero?

"Left? Or right?" Looking at Benno Udry's shooting posture, Yan Hua had a premonition that the goal would probably not be scored, but Yan Hua was a little uncertain about the basketball's landing point. After retreating to the basket, judging the wrong placement of the basketball is tantamount to a mistake. If Scola can grab the backcourt rebound very easily, then the Rockets will probably seize the opportunity and go straight to the fast break up.

"Let's go to the left!" At the moment when the basketball shot by Benno Udrih made contact with the basket, Yan Hua made a choice and rushed towards the left side of the basket. Perhaps Yan Hua got the goddess of luck With Yan Hua's attention, when Yan Hua started towards the left side of the basket, the basketball that came into contact with the basket bounced towards the left side of the basket.

After rushing two steps forward, he took off and grabbed the basketball in the air. After landing, Yan Hua turned around immediately, grabbed the basketball with one hand and smashed it towards the basket. Scola rushed over to grab the rebound. After Yan Hua grabbed the rebound, he immediately wanted to find the best defensive position to prevent Yan Hua's second attack. However, before Scola took a good position, Yan Hua He rushed towards the basket, and pushed the basketball in his hand into the basket through Scola.

"Oh, God!" When Yan Hua dunked Scola, the audience on the sidelines, including the press box behind the basket, immediately burst into exclamation, followed by cheers and applause. In the entire Arco arena, after Yan Hua grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk, the general trend of the game was completely controlled by the king.

In 28 seconds, 99 to 101, Rick Adelman, who already had a premonition that something was wrong, immediately called a timeout, wanting to calm down the mentality of the players on the field, and then arrange the tactics of the next game by the way.

After the timeout ended, the Rockets who sent the sideline ball began to press time. They were two points behind with 28 seconds left. The Rockets no longer had the king's tactical choice. While striving to score, leave the king with the least amount of time. Of course, if the Rockets fail to score this goal, then everything will be over.

Trailing by two points, the only way to win is to shoot a three-pointer, so in this attack, the Rockets did not continue to implement the tactic of giving the basketball to Yao Ming first, but point guard Ralph Alston near the top of the arc To delay the time, the other three players with three-point ability were running non-stop, trying to get rid of the defenders behind them. When they made the last shot, they got an excellent shot opportunity. The defense target, can only adopt the defensive method of casting a wide net, marking every Rockets team.

When 24 seconds were about to run out, Ralph Alston passed the basketball to Ron Artest who got rid of Kevin Martin's defense near the 45-degree angle to the left of the three-point line. Tester's [-]-point shot failed. Yan Hua, who grabbed a backcourt rebound, was fouled by Yao Ming.

"I really didn't expect the King to fight like this with the Rockets!" Ron Artest missed a three-pointer, and the Rockets could only start to implement foul tactics. However, with less than 6 seconds left, the Rockets moved back and hoped to have It's zero.
