hall of fame small forward

Chapter 223 What fuck!
The seventh life-and-death battle seemed to be a farce for the alliance.

I don’t know if he was given special instructions by his loving father David Stern. Yao Ming, who has always been regarded as a sinner by the referee, actually experienced the whistleblowing treatment of a normal player today. All those players who made small moves behind Yao Ming’s back today were without exception. They were all called for fouls. Dayao scored 26 points in the first half, including 14 free throws. By the way, Oberto, Bonner, and Kurt were all called 4 fouls.

But Totoro played normally. He got a little sweaty and threw six three-pointers. He hit four easily and got 17 points. Leading the Spurs by 17 points?
Popovich was completely dumbfounded from the sidelines.

He didn't expect that the referee's penalty scale in a series would change drastically in the most critical seventh game, and no one notified them in advance. Wouldn't this kill the Spurs?
The old man knew that his inside players would add a little trick while defending the little giant, but there was no way around it, because if they didn't add tricks, they wouldn't be able to guard against Yao Ming at this time.

Tall, with a soft touch and outstanding skills, Yao Ming's destructive power is like that of Shaquille O'Neal when he was young, except that one uses softness and the other uses strength, but neither of them is a player who can be defended by conventional means.

It's just that Yao Ming was not taken seriously in the Rockets before, and he was targeted by American referees as a Chinese, so Yao's lethality has not been reflected until the Rockets have two Chinese, and Yao gets an average of 20 points per game. Yao Ming's data reached its peak this year after more than three shots.

And if the referees are replacing the standard of whistle-blowing against the little giant with the standard of whistle-blowing of ordinary players, then Yao Ming probably will really overthrow a team by himself.

"Don't foul Yao Ming anymore, double-team him, as soon as he catches the ball, double-team him, be optimistic about other Rockets players, we have to quickly rotate, except for the little giant who is resolute in double-teaming when he receives the basketball, the others are one-to-one Take care of your own players, we still have 24 minutes to get the final result of our entire series, whether to pack up and leave or move on, all decisions are in your hands!"

As soon as the Rockets came up in the third quarter, Calderon, an experienced veteran, first passed Battier and hit three three-pointers. Finally, he hit an open three-pointer. The point difference between the Spurs and the Rockets instantly moved towards 30 points. Initiating an impact, in fact, if it wasn't for Parker responding with a three-pointer, and Duncan chatting with the old man about the teenager beating Randolph violently and scoring a 2+1, they would have fallen behind by 30+.

Popovich had no choice but to call a timeout. Today is the home court of the Rockets. He had already guessed that the league would be unfavorable to the Spurs in terms of penalties, but he did not expect that the league would be so shameless and could scale the penalties The child is rigorous to this extent.

Regardless of whether it is a pinch or a push, it is a foul if you touch Yao Ming with small moves, but if you don’t play these small moves, the Spurs can’t prevent Yao Ming from taking off the shackles. It's a loss of justice, but Yao Ming's height is not fair to normal players. Could it be that a 300-pound man can't bear these "confrontations"?

It's just that no matter what the old man thinks about his fallacies, the coach's work off the court is limited. The current situation on the court is that the little giant must defend with two people, the Totoro must defend with two people, and the other three Rockets players on the court cannot Completely empty, even if Popovich can turn beans into soldiers, he can't stop such a rocket that is all soldiers.

He called the timeout and rearranged this tactic, which is equivalent to a desperate fight, defending Yao Ming to the death, defending the inside line, man-to-man to watch the other three turrets of the Rockets, and can defend Totoro by one person, the old man freed up singles opportunities and mid-range For Totoro, if Totoro can hit a few half-block baskets in a row to open up the point difference, the Spurs will be cool, but if Totoro is not allowed to get up the basket, the Spurs will have a chance to comeback.

The Spurs are not lacking in offensive power on the field today. Duncan Parker Ginobili has excellent performances on the offensive end. The reason why the big score is behind is that the Spurs can't keep up with the Rockets' scoring efficiency. If the Rockets have extraordinary offensive firepower If it can be "normal" for a period of time, Zhuge Go is 10% sure that it can chase the point difference to about [-] points before the start of the fourth quarter.

As soon as the timeout was over, the five teammates on the Spurs field immediately acted like soldiers under orders, resolutely deploying defenses according to the coach's intentions. If the team's discipline is judged in the entire league, the other 29 teams are probably only iron-blooded. The Jazz trained by coach Sloan can compete with the Spurs. Popovich's wisdom has achieved the upper limit of the Spurs this time. As long as his decision-making is correct, the Quds Legion is rarely defeated by others.

"Hey!"

After Totoro came on the field and received the serve, he was ready to lead the half court to Calderon as always, but the strange formation in front of the Spurs made his eyes shine.

There is only the old Finley in front of me. The others are either huddled in the penalty area or followed Battier and the others to the two bottom corners. Isn't this the rhythm of playing singles at the top of the arc?

Calderon was very knowledgeable. Seeing that the Spurs took the lead in changing the defensive strategy, he also silently moved to the side, taking Parker, who was sticking to him, away from the Totoro.

Totoro immediately started like a tiger out of the gate. Facing the aged Finley, he didn't even bother to take a tentative step. The other four people did not care about him, how could he even think about passing the ball?Let's talk about the score first!

Finley is also a veteran with rich defensive experience, but how could his old cold legs withstand the Totoro who is full of physical fitness? Even if he instantly judged the direction of Totoro's breakthrough and moved ahead of time, Finley was still squeezed by Totoro With half a body, coupled with a normal range of physical confrontation, poor Finley was immediately bounced half a step away by Totoro.

Duncan and Bonner immediately came out of the penalty area and mentioned the three-second zone line, preventing Totoro from a one-stop slam dunk.

My Neighbor Totoro sneered in his heart, he never thought of rushing in and smashing his body with them. You always think that my breakthrough, rape and buckle are three-pointers, but you don't know my COSCO shooting ability is also 99, As long as there is a little room for shooting, this jump shot is no different from a free throw to me. If you despise me like this, you are asking for death. Pay for your carelessness immediately!

"boom!"

But the smile on Totoro's face just appeared, but it froze immediately.

Because after the ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air, it immediately hit the back of the basket and bounced back. Duncan and Bonner pinched Yao from the inside and successfully protected the backboard.

"what fuck?"

Totoro looked at his right hand in disbelief, how could your sister miss in the middle distance?Could it be that he didn't take the initiative to attack with the ball these days, so he took a break?It shouldn't be. In the first half, my three-pointer was still accurate and I had no friends. Why can't I make a half-shot now?
