Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 474 You said it was picturesque?
The Lakers attacked the first goal, Yuan Qingshan broke through and took a step back, made an emergency stop jump shot, and hit two long points.

D'Antoni looked at the time. The Lakers spent 14 seconds in this offensive round. Yuan Qingshan received the ball from the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt. He searched for his teammates to no avail. In the end, the ball handler created the opportunity to shoot. A lot of time wasted after a series of links.

According to D'Antoni's thinking, this ball only needs 7 seconds.

He touched his mustache. The weakness of the Lakers is still too slow. Among the core players in the team, Yuan Qingshan and Paul George are not the kind of players who are good at pushing fast breaks.

Harden is the outside core who can play fast, and with Griffin's athletic ability, there is absolutely no problem with speeding up.

D'Antoni has his own calculations here, but on the Lakers' side, Walton Jr. thinks about another thing.

Yuan Qingshan should have suppressed the rhythm just now. He should try to fight Paul George first. If he doesn't attack the third position, he might as well let Paul George defend James Harden.

Wharton thought that Yuan Qingshan handled the first ball a little hastily.

The coaches on both sides have two ways of thinking.

Commentary seat.

Compared with Curry's ultra-long-range three-pointer, O'Neal still prefers Yuan Qingshan's mid-range just now. He believes that this is what basketball should be like. If you play in coordination and position, if you are all like Curry, no matter where you are, if you pick up the ball and shoot it, it will be better than shooting.

Moreover, Yuan Qingshan's mid-range step back just now reminded him of an old Lakers teammate, Kobe Bryant who had just retired.

"Shaq, what are you thinking?" Barkley found O'Neal in a daze.

O'Neill almost blurted out "Kobe", cleared his throat quickly and said, "I'm thinking of Yuan Qingshan's goal just now. His body is elegant, his movements are smooth, his posture is perfect, it's just..."

Barkley: "What you're trying to say is, it's pretty picturesque, right?"

Picturesque?That crazy mamba?What are you kidding?
O'Neill hastily denied: "No way!"

Barkley said to himself, you are really arrogant.

The Lakers scored two points, and the Rockets didn't panic. They tied the Lakers in the regular season, and they won the Lakers after Griffin joined, which is considered a bit of an advantage.

Dellavedova is responsible for advancing, and Harden stands at 45 degrees on the left wing. The Rockets are not in a hurry to hand the ball to Harden from the backcourt, which will accelerate the consumption of Harden's physical strength.

Yuan Qingshan is not in a hurry to press forward, Dellavedova is the kind of player who follows the rules and is also very resilient, it is not wise to steal from him rashly.

And Yuan Qingshan also knows that Dellavedova is just an overkill, and the Rockets will definitely beat Harden first.

really.

Dellavedova made a base pass from the top of the key and gave the ball to James Harden.

Murray's left leg twitched, trying to intercept the pass, but in the end he controlled his desire and honestly faced Harden to defend.

Standing at 45 degrees on the left wing, Harden first made a tentative step, three threats, and Murray's center of gravity was almost unstable. Fortunately, he had accumulated experience in the usual confrontation with Yuan Qingshan, so that he would not be passed by the first time.

Wharton's expression was serious, but he was actually very anxious. If Murray was quickly killed by Harden in the first ball, D'Antoni would definitely hold on to this point.

Seeing that Murray couldn't be shaken off, Harden also followed Yuan Qingshan's step back for three points.

His take-off is not high, but his body is stretched, his touch is soft, and he hits the basketball steadily.

Harden and Yuan Qingshan, the core of the two teams, each scored a goal in the opening game. The audience feasted their eyes. It seems that the two are feeling hot. Tonight may be a hearty battle.

"Quick, quick, quick!" D'Antoni waved his arms vigorously on the sidelines.

The Rockets are going to play fast, this is McD'Antoni's style.

Ariza delivered the ball, Dellavedova sprinted across the half court with all his strength, Harden waited at the top of the arc this time, and after receiving the pass, he swayed his shoulders and went straight to the inside. Capela understood his style of play and put it up early.

Successfully switched defenses, Harden faced Whiteside, forming a small fight big.

Whiteside gulped down his saliva. Facing outside players like Harden, he was always nervous.

"Go help defend!" Wharton yelled.

Downs subconsciously rushed over when he heard the coach's shout.

Yuan Qingshan's heart tightened. Harden sensed Towns approaching and passed the ball to Griffin without hesitation. Griffin made a mid-range shot.

Harden assists +1.

O'Neill criticized Towns: "How can this ball be rushed to help defend?"

Barkley: "The Lakers obviously underestimated Harden's passing ability."

O'Neal continued: "There is also Griffin's mid-range shooting ability. If he is not too tall and strong, he can play a guard."

Griffin stepped back into the backcourt while high-fiving Harden.

Griffin looked excited, while Harden was expressionless. He thought it would be cooler if he hit the ball successfully just now.

Towns' expression was ugly, because he missed someone at the beginning of the game, and it was really embarrassing in front of the Los Angeles home fans.

The Lakers attacked, this time Yuan Qingshan took an unconventional sidewalk, infiltrated from a high position, and passed the ball hand-to-hand to Whiteside.

This time it was Capela's turn to panic, and Whiteside was stronger than him, especially with the ball in hand, and Whiteside, who happened to be under the basket, was like a beast.

Capela wanted to rush over to block Whiteside, but he didn't know whether it was right or not, and whether it would be successful.

It's a pity that Whiteside didn't even give him this opportunity. He dribbled and adjusted, and jumped directly for dunks.

Bang!

This kind of tyrannical basket behavior has not been seen for a long time in the Staples Center.

DJ shouted at the top of his voice: "Violent-Dunking!"

"Wow! Violent dunk!"

"Hassan, Hassan, Hassan!"

The fans of the Lakers are boiling. If they didn't have the heart to taunt the Clippers in the last round of the series, then this round can vent their pent-up emotions on the Rockets.

Downs ran up to Whiteside excitedly, and slammed his chest hard: "Hassan, just do it like this!"

At this time, it seemed that he no longer felt the frustration that he felt after releasing the space riffin just now.

Whiteside scratched his head in embarrassment. When facing his opponent, he was like a scourge, and once he was out of the duel, he would revert to his boy-next-door appearance.

In tonight's game, the two sides had a very high success rate at the beginning, with breakthroughs, passes, mid-range shots, three-pointers, and dunks.

D'Antoni likes this rhythm very much. Compared with offense, he is confident that the Rockets will not lose to others.

Not even the Lakers.

D'Antoni's ambition is to adjust the Rockets' offensive firepower to the maximum before meeting the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals!
