hall of fame small forward

Chapter 264 Supper at the Hilton Hotel
Seeing that the Rockets are about to end, but at this time in the finals, the first brother who has been indifferent has made great achievements. Since the two big centers of the Rockets have all gone to the outside to provide off-ball screens for the defenders, the same is also true. Howard and Lewis were also brought to the outside line. Although Battier missed the three-pointer by a tiny bit this time, Iguodala broke out with a prehistoric force under the basket and forced Turkoglu to take the shot. An offensive rebound, and scored again, and also caused Turkoglu a needless foul, 2+1!

Iguodala is also an All-Star player at his peak. His characteristics are similar to James. It's too stable, and it's a bit worse than Zhan Huang in all aspects, so this also caused him to be under the shadow of the little emperor when he was in the 76ers, and he was not very famous.

But if you want to say that Iguodala has something better than James, it is estimated that there are only defensive skills and fighting spirit. Iguodala is not the kind of player who will give up the game easily, and Iguodala also has a A star has a big heart. Maybe he is as fast as a horse at ordinary times, but he never relents at critical moments. How many times he has contributed in key rounds has proved that he is an excellent championship player!
Originally, Iguodala, who made only [-]% of his free throws this season, hit the extra penalty steadily. This time, the three-point tactic was barely played. The Rockets still maintained the hope of winning. Adelman immediately called out from the sidelines. a pause.

"We have to do a good job of defense next, remember, try not to foul as much as possible, but once the referee blows the whistle, you will kill me! Can't let them play 2+1, understand what I mean! Here is the total The floor of the final is not a stage for the weak, and now it is not a basketball court but a battlefield where bayonets are red. Don’t be afraid of physical confrontation! Don’t be afraid of getting hurt! Don’t be afraid of doing moves. If you get hurt, you have a whole summer to recuperate! If you are suspended, it will be a matter of next season, now I want you to go all out to win, understand!"

Adelman's appearance is not at all like his usual stable temperament, on the contrary, he is a bit crazy in it. In normal times, he always teaches the Rockets not to play tricks, not to play tricks, to compete fairly, and occasionally eat A few technical fouls will be caught by Adelman as a negative example to educate the whole team, but now?

He actually bewitched the players to commit malicious fouls!What a duplicity old man!
Of course, Totoro is just thinking about it as a joke. In the finals, every coach will warn his players like this. It is estimated that Van Gundy on the opposite side is more ruthless than the old coach. Basketball is not basketball at this time, and athletes are not. Athletes, they are all fighters, and the basketball court is an arena. What they want to do is to destroy and kill others!rather than defeating them.
"What are you laughing at, you brat?"

But what is not so good is that Totoro's snickering was caught by Adelman, and the old man asked with a sullen face.

"I didn't I didn't laugh?!"

The chinchilla thief shouted to catch the thief, and forced himself to hold back as if he wasn't laughing.

"Stinky boy, you look really energetic. Don't you always want to play games? Now is the critical moment. I want to send you to the game to reap the games and let you be a hero. Are you willing?"

Adelman suddenly laughed himself, and he patted Totoro's shoulder and asked kindly.

"Of course I would. In fact, you should have sent me up long ago, and watch me deal with those brats!"

Totoro is absolutely willing. He would rather lose on the field than lie down and win off the field. Who made him have this temperament.

"But if you can't win the game? How do you think I should punish you?"

However, Adelman suddenly put away his smile and asked, which made Totoro's heart skip a beat. These hero balls can be scored or not, so he should be responsible for whether he throws them up or not?Are you kidding me?
But thinking about the opportunity to show his face this time, Totoro has already thrown away the punishment the opponent said. What punishment is not punished? If he really can't make a shot, he can still put himself on the bench. ?This is unrealistic at all, unless he doesn't want to be the head coach of the Rockets.

No matter what the punishment is, it would be fine if the chinchilla is too serious and denies it afterwards. Can this old man still bite himself?

"I'm going to miss the ball, you can twist my head off and use it as a urinal after the game."

So the unscrupulous Totoro made a poisonous oath without hesitation.

"Come on, I can't afford to use your brain. If you can't make a shot, please remember to invite us to the most expensive restaurant in Orlando for dinner after the game. Not only the players, but also the staff of the team must go together."

Adelman waved his hand. If he dared to use the Chinchilla brand urinal, he might be shot dead by his fans just after using it for one night.

"Then what if I invest in it?"

Hehe, when Totoro heard it, it turned out that it was a small matter of eating?The most expensive restaurant in Orlando is located in the auditorium of a Hilton Hotel. It is a restaurant only for the upper-class celebrities. Before entering, there will be special security personnel to verify your identity, and the cost of a meal is quite a lot, but For NBA players, it is a drop in the bucket.

"If you can lead the team to victory, I will treat you to this meal, right after the game!"

Adelman was also refreshed. After he finished speaking, other players also cheered, because it seems that no matter whether they win or lose today, their big meal seems to be impossible to escape, and they can eat a meal for nothing. , and it's not an unpalatable nutritious meal, how can this make these players unwelcome and encouraged?

This is also a small trick of the old man. First he will give you a stick to put you under a little pressure, and then he will promise you some visible benefits and relax your nervousness. In fact, he did not arrange any tactics during this timeout, because the tactics arrived. The moment is useless.

The players are very nervous. If you draw a fancy tactic for them, it is a question of whether the players can fully comprehend it in a short period of time. Even if they comprehend it, making such a complicated coordination will easily increase the risk of mistakes. At this moment, it is better to be simple and rude. Point, give all the basketball to the stars, and let them decide the outcome of the game!
Who made them friends with an annual salary of tens of millions?But Totoro thought that he was just a poor guy with a rookie contract.
The timeout ended, and the Totoro replaced Zach Randolph and returned to the court.

The Rockets fans on the TV burst into excitement. They didn't expect Totoro to perform a lore. As long as they saw him play, the hearts of the Rockets fans who had been hanging for the whole game were finally settled.

The neutral fans are also very excited. They can always feel that Totoro can do something at this moment. Seeing his fiery eyes that can ignite the whole game, they have a premonition.

The Magic fans and players were in despair. Even though the game hadn't been played yet, as soon as Totoro stepped onto the court, they already felt that they were going to lose the game, especially Turkoglu, who was so hot for the whole game today. The poor Turk seemed to be recalling the nightmares the other party had caused him in the previous two games, and now he finally felt that he had walked out of the nightmares, and now he might be going in again.

The Magic attack first, and the Totoro is currently serving as a power forward. This is also Adelman's consideration for his safety. Compared with the Magic's series core, Turkoglu, Lewis, who has degenerated to only three-pointers this year, looks It is easier to defend up, and although Turkoglu is a bit invincible today, whether it is Battier or Iguodala's defensive ability is still trustworthy.

Turkoglu dribbled the ball to the upper line. He saw that Yao Ming was completely marking the monster. Nelson seemed to be unable to get rid of Lowry's entanglement. On the contrary, Lewis seemed to give him a passing gap?

Moreover, the Chinchillas obviously twisted a lot in the first quarter. Turkoglu also wanted to follow Lewis's attack to test the recovery of the Chinchillas. Besides, Lewis is the player with the highest salary in the team. In terms of strength, he should be more responsible than Howard at this time.

Therefore, Turkoglu passed the ball out of reason, but Lewis was ruined as soon as he caught the ball!

Totoro deliberately let go of the space between him and Turkoglu, in order to lure the Turk to hand over the basketball to Lewis. At this moment, once the opponent takes the first step according to his script, Totoro will immediately Showing off his sharp minions, he finished the remaining few steps in the script by himself.

He took a step forward and raised his hands high. Totoro just did these two actions, but Lewis suffered personally, but it was like a CBA player defending him and then suddenly changed to an NBA best defensive player. Just like defending against him, the defensive pressure is not the same.

Totoro is not afraid of physical confrontation, he is born with a fierce temperament in his bones, although he will feel pain when physical confrontation, but he firmly believes that the other party will hurt more than him!

But unlike the beasts like Artest, Totoro is arrogant and cunning at the same time. He will not play purely by brute force. That is what blue-collar players do. Using strength will only get twice the result with half the effort. Defensive skills are a great knowledge. If you can give the opponent physical pressure, give the opponent mental pressure, and make small moves with both hands up and down, and then set up some defensive traps, I believe it will be very difficult. What can a player do with such a star-level defense.

Totoro's defensive skills are not high, but he is self-taught in physical confrontation, small moves and trash talk. This time he defended the opponent with words, "If Kobe, who has a salary similar to yours, receives the ball , how would he bukkake me, and how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how, how do you eat these words."

What Mr. Yiyuan hates the most is that people talk about his salary. Everyone knows that Lewis's current performance is not worth such a big contract, but Lewis doesn't think so in his heart. He always wants a chance to prove himself!

Now the opportunity is in front of his eyes, plus he was so irritated by Totoro, Lewis even forgot his surname in an instant. Throw the ball in the hoop!

Lewis made a three-threat, but Totoro stood against the opponent without retreating a step. He was not afraid of being overtaken by someone at all. With Lewis's old lady's footsteps, he could chase back even if he let the opponent take two steps.

Seeing that Totoro still didn’t give him a chance to shoot, Lewis made a fake show by the way. The cat lowered his body and tried to squeeze past Totoro’s right side. Totoro’s body is very strong, but Lewis is not afraid at all, no matter how thin he is. A power forward, no matter how strong Chinchilla is, he is still a small forward. The gap between the two positions allows Chinchilla to have a tonnage similar to that of Lewis, but it would be a bit nonsense to crush the opponent purely with his body.

However, Totoro seemed to know that the opponent would break through. Not only did he not retract his left foot when he turned sideways, but he also put another pad to the left intentionally or unintentionally.

This is a very quintessential little move. If Lewis stepped on it like this, he would fall to the ground even if he was not injured. Totoro still remembered the opponent's step in the first quarter, although he didn't know whether the opponent did it on purpose. Yes, but it is a fact that he hurt himself. He must have done it on purpose when he was the other party. How can there be so many honest gentlemen in the nba?

Lewis is also an old Jianghu who has played ball for countless years. Seeing Totoro use this kind of concealed max, but the lethality is also not trivial. My Neighbor Totoro is overcast.

But he felt light in his arms, but the ball in his hand disappeared. Totoro's long arm stabbed from behind between lightning and flint, accurate and hard, and the crisp sound of hitting the ball made the referee want to find the home whistle. There is no way.

The ball was stabbed into Shane Battier's hands, and Redick immediately wanted to fight back, but the witty president didn't directly pass the ball to Totoro for a fast break, but handed it to Dayao first, and then Yao Ming used his absolute The height advantage handed over the basketball to the fast-moving Totoro.

Poor Magic At this time, only Turkoglu followed the fast-moving Totoro, and the body was still behind the Totoro. Totoro, who took the basketball steadily, made a slow three-step layup, trying to lure Totoro Grew came up to block and played 2+1, but he picked the wrong opponent. The Turkish agent had already been made clear by himself. Now seeing the two of them at halftime, the Turk had already given up defense.

"You're smart!"

Seeing that Turkoglu has slowed down, Totoro is not very disappointed. Although the chance of 2+1 is gone, he can play an explosive dunk without defense, which can also hit the Magic morale.

Hitting the ball hard on the ground, Totoro's feet soared up, and he made a circle in the air, one and a half circles, two circles, and then caught Yindi just when he fell to the height of the basket. The basketball, which was falling under the force of gravity, was dunked vigorously into the basket with both hands.
