NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 35
During the timeout, Liu Rui felt that Van Gundy should also make corresponding adjustments on the offensive end, so he replaced Buffalo White in advance and made Brezek ready to play.

Seeing Wallace holding the ball in the middle, Brezek immediately stepped up and made a pick-and-roll for him, but Yao Ming obviously didn't dare to switch to Wallace.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Wallace was ready to go straight to the basket, and Yao Ming had to block his body into big characters, trying to block Wallace's breakthrough.

Wallace didn't look at the pass, and threw the ball behind his head, and it landed firmly in Brezek's hands. The latter took a slight aim and threw a three-pointer before Yao Ming squared it.

sigh~
8:0! !
Barkley: "My God, the Bobcats scored so easily in the first attack after the timeout. Now even I can see that Juwan can't keep up with Wallace at all. I really don't understand why Van Gundy hasn't made adjustments."

"Haha, maybe he still thinks that Zhu Wan, who is in his 30s, can beat Wallace one-on-one on the offensive end, haha." Smith also joked along with Barkley.

At this time, the camera on the field suddenly turned its lens on Liu Rui. The big screen showed that Liu Rui was sitting on the sidelines for some reason.

And then the camera mischievously gave the shot to Van Gundy, whose face was darkened, and the two formed a sharp contrast.

Although I don't know what happened, this interesting scene has the home fans cheering.

Liu Rui didn't realize why he appeared on the big screen until Piccolo reminded him. ?
Really, I promise, I didn't mean to laugh, it's because the buddy sitting behind is talking too funny, haha.

Looking at Van Gundy, whose eyes were blazing on the other side, who almost strangled Liu Rui to death on the spot, Liu Rui felt that he had to restrain himself.

He reached out and rubbed his face, not paying attention to the score on the field, put down the bunch of grapes in his hand, imitating Van Gundy, stood up with arms folded, put on a serious look, and shouted a few words to the players.

"Damn, did you make a mistake? What are you guys playing? Can you play ball!! If you can't play, come down for me!!!"

"Hahahaha, I think I like Liu Rui more and more now. Really, if the Rockets really lose this game today, I think Van Gundy's reputation will really be ruined, haha!" Hearing Liu Rui's roar from the sidelines, Barkley couldn't hold back his saliva. ?
With Blazek's offensive containment, Yao Ming was hoisted out of the three-second zone, and Liu Rui also concluded that with the team having Kapono and House in the backcourt, Van Gundy would not dare to defend the 2-3 zone defense.

Liu Rui pinpointed Zhu Wan's point, causing Wallace to wreak havoc on the Rockets.

He scored 8 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in 3 minutes of playing in a single quarter. Uncle Huo really doubted his life.

Am I really old? ?Are all the younger generations like this now? ?Fuck you young man! !

But with the second half of McGrady's feel warmed up.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats led by 29 points at 24:5, ending the first quarter.

Facing the teenager Robinson, McGrady made 7 of 4 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 11 points and 3 assists, and helped the Rockets to bite the score without Yao Ming.

Under Wallace's key care in the first quarter, Yao Ming only made 4 of 1 shots and didn't score a single free throw. He only scored 2 points and 4 rebounds. It was really ruthless...

After the players rested, Liu Rui also generously contributed his own oranges. Seeing how delicious they were, hey! ! !White, you took it wrong, you have an orange peel in your hand...

Back in the second quarter, Liu Rui used a 5 up and 5 down rotation, which is also one of Liu Rui's most frequently used rotations.

Keep a complete bench lineup, and use marginal players to intersperse the starting lineup to fight against each other in the first quarter. This kind of rotation method is really rare among league coaches.

Knight, left-handed throwing knife Kareem, Steve Smith, Eli, Okafor.

This lineup has undergone continuous evolution by Liu Rui, and it has always been a weapon for grabbing points in the second quarter. After several preseason games, the net difference is the most efficient quarter of the team.

After most of the main players rested, Liu Rui mainly arranged two tactics, and the results were very good.

For Knight and Eli's pick-and-roll, Liu Rui imitated Nash and Stoudemire's style of play. Needless to say, Knight's passing skills are second in the league in assists per game, second only to Nash.

As for Eli, as the end point, although the end is a bit weak, but the courageous style of play can also make up for it to a certain extent.

Especially the connection between two people in the fast break, sometimes it really makes Liu Rui see a shadow of the sun on the field, one fast break is really fast, and the other is really accurate...

However, as Liu Rui's most important point-grabbing lineup, the most important thing is the weakened version of the triangle offense.

In the positional battle, with Okafor's three-second zone as the apex, Knight and Eli stand on the side of no one and pull away, and Kareem and Smith stand at a 45-degree and bottom corner to the right of the three-point line.

It completely restored the offensive tactics of the OK combination under the former Zen master, although Okafor cannot be compared with O'Neal.

But as a substitute, with Smith and Karim, one-on-one can still easily beat most of the substitutes.

After all, the man who once beat Howard, now under Liu Rui, is gradually entering his peak period ahead of schedule.

And Okafor's plug-and-play rookie has also made Liu Rui a lot easier. If the Bobcats did not choose Okafor, but came back with a development system, Liu Rui might really commit suicide in minutes...

The man who averaged 15.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game in this rookie season, not only won the best rookie of the year in his previous life, but also maintained the top scorer, rebounding leader, and two statistics of this year's rookie! !

Among them, 1.7 blocks tied for second place with No. [-] pick Howard! !

Topping the list is Josh Smith's 1.9 blocks.

As strong as Howard, he only had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in his rookie season.

For Okafor's good data is not only Liu Rui's explanation to the management, but also whether it is to cultivate confidence in advance for him in the future, or take advantage of such a high value to trade to become a star player, it is the only choice.

Of course, this is the case when Liu Rui can convince the management, and everything will speak with strength! !
Uncle Mu, who was born in 66 on the Rockets' bench, is 38 years old, although he can still cause some troubles for Okafor on the defensive end.

But this African Dashan, who has won the best defensive player 4 times, has to lament the ruthlessness of time, and has to admit that he is not the King Kong who wagged his fingers crazily...
