Chapter 148 Gradually Cooling Feeling

For the Bulls, Cartwright has seen what Van Gundy didn't understand.

"We still have a lot to do tonight. If it weren't for Wang and Stephen's fiery touch, it would be difficult for us to score this kind of score against the Houstonians." Cartwright looked serious,
But seeing the faces of the disciples, Cartwright smiled again: "But it's okay, the red team's shooting rate is also abnormally high. Especially that guy Rashid, he almost turned into Yao tonight."

Wang Shipeng wanted to look at the statistics, yes, the reason why Yao Ming is difficult to defend is because of his abnormal shooting rate.More than [-]% of his field goals and more than [-]% of his three-pointers. Most importantly, as a big center, his free throw percentage is more than [-]%.

Yao Ming's performance tonight was equally impressive. He made 10 of 4 shots in the first quarter, including 1 of [-] three-pointers and [-] of [-] free throws.Got [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] block.

But the best performer of the red team is Rashid, this old man is talking about being a teenager. , 13 points and 3 rebounds on five of seven shots.Compared with his average level, this is obviously abnormal.

"So, Tyson, your main goal next is to strangle Rasheed and try to help Darko defend Yao." Cartwright emphasized the importance of defense to the team. Ke's immature offense is still difficult to open, so the focus can only be on defense.

As for the offense, it depends on how long Wang and Stephen's touch can last.

Chandler turned pale when he heard the coach's words. If it was just to deal with Rasheed, Chandler dared to go up and give it a try.After all, there are ways to defend Rashid.

But Yao, Chandler felt powerless just thinking about it.I think of the first match against Yao in the Adidas training camp in 98. At that time, Chandler, who had already made his mark in the American high school league, was taken care of by Yao Ming, who had just entered the Chinese professional league.

As for now, Chandler feels that defending Yao Ming is as unsolvable as defending Shaq.Shaq is strong in his weight and strength, while Yao is strong in his height and touch.

The German in Dallas is difficult to defend with just a seven-footer.But when the [-]-foot-[-] Yao stood on the outside and shot with a fade, there was almost only one word that came to mind: despair.

"Look how promising you are, Tyson. You're just a helper defense. You see, Darko, the main defender, hasn't said anything yet." Veteran Donnie Marshall, an active player in the locker room, joked.

Kevin Cato looked at Milicic next to him, and said to everyone with certainty: "I can be sure that Darko was scared out of his wits."

The locker room burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Cartwright reached out his hand to stop everyone's laughter.He said to Milicic very seriously: "Dako, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just as everyone was afraid of Shaq five years ago, people are also afraid of Yao now. Even for us, Yao is more terrifying than Shaq. If it's Shaq, Kevin and Tyson can help you. But if it's Yao, it won't work. It's mostly up to you, because you're our future starting center.

But Yao alone can't beat a team, at least the current Yao can't.He has just found his own path, and it will take time and experience to make him stronger.

And this time is our opportunity, we have a guard who can be at the same level as Yao in the future.United around the king, victory must be ours. "

After listening to Cartwright's words, Wang Shipeng nodded. Cartwright's chicken soup is not bad.Even Wang Shipeng, who is used to seeing the speeches of later generations of chicken soup masters, was very moved, and the young Milicic was even more eager to try, wishing to rush forward and overthrow Yao Ming.

Back on the court, Wang Shipeng should have rested for a period of time and was replaced on the court by Cartwright ahead of schedule.Because the entire league knows that Yao Da's current and only shortcoming is his physical fitness.Even Yao Ming, who has been deliberately controlling his weight, averaged only 32.8 minutes per game last season.And this season until the last game, it was only 35.6 minutes.

Yao Ming used this not much playing time to play the number one center in the league.

Even the Sharks, who traveled east to Miami this year, admitted privately that he couldn't deal with Yao Ming.

And Wang Shipeng's physical fitness will be much better than that of Yao Ming.In his rookie season, Wang Shipeng averaged 37 minutes per game.In the five games of the new season, it directly broke through 40 minutes.

So Cartwright intends to use the opportunity of Yao Ming's drop to rest to widen the point difference.

Of course, Mobley also stayed on the court.Wang Shipeng replaced Pago in control of the ball and played a double-back tactic.

Glancing at Billups who was defending him, Wang Shipeng sighed sincerely.This is also a hidden physical monster. It only came off for more than three minutes, and it came up again at the beginning of the second quarter.

If Billups knew Wang Shipeng's emotion.Surely tell him that's not the case.

If the red team pervertedly cleaned 80.00% of the team.The team's tacit understanding is not enough and someone needs to take control of the situation. I only play so long in each game when I am free.

The red team's lineup is upgraded, but it's too much.It takes time to run in, and this is the most realistic problem facing the red team now.

Wang Shipeng didn't care much about Billups' defense. Even though Billups is a good defensive player at the first position, in the eyes of Wang Shipeng, who is always facing the defensive specifications of the best defensive player level, it is not enough.

Just a simple crotch change, Wang Shipeng keenly captured a trace of shooting space.

Seeing Wang Shipeng raised his hands high, turned his head and ran back.Billups had no choice but to make a gesture to count the points lost.No way, after all, not every point guard is a glove.

The game passed minute by minute as the red team tried their best to block the outside line and the Bulls tried their best to block the inside line.Even with Yao Ming playing, the goal of the Bulls has not changed.

Wang Shipeng is still very happy for Yao Ming. The first two coaches he met in his career were all sincere for him.

Tang Shuai didn't mention making him gain weight, and although Van Gundy wanted him to gain weight, he didn't force him after Yao Ming refused, and he paid great attention to controlling Yao Ming's playing time.

Unlike the later Adelman, who used Yao Ming as an animal, he was useless at once.

That's what this game is, even with the Bulls on the offensive.The score stretched to about [-] points, but Van Gundy still insisted on letting Yao Ming rest for most of the quarter as planned.

Yao Ming also lived up to Van Gundy's kindness. Although he only played for 20 minutes and [-] seconds in the second quarter, he still scored six points and three rebounds.

At the end of halftime, the shooting percentage of the two teams has slowly changed from fairy to human.The score between the two sides was 58:54, with the Bulls leading by four points.
