hall of fame small forward

Chapter 276 Twice, One, Five, Different Styles
Of course, the most important thing is that Paul has a good personality. He is a bit paranoid in his desire for victory. This is very similar to Kobe, but the difference is that Kobe is not willing to sacrifice his data for victory, but Paul is not so paranoid. , Maybe it has something to do with his birth as a traditional point guard. Queen Bee doesn't always ask himself to get 20+30+ every game, as long as the team can win, even if he gets 15+10, he is very happy.

So from the current point of view, Paul and the Rockets are seamlessly connected. The offensive end can play countless dazzling cooperation with its personal ability, and the defensive end can also rely on its own ability to make the opponent helpless. Since this is a preseason game, Adelman They didn't arrange too many tactics for the team, but the Rockets can play so brilliantly just like that. It is conceivable that if Adelman has the ability to use tactics to knead them together, this Rockets team will become How terrible.

However, compared with the Rockets' impenetrable defense and mercury-laden offense, the Magic's new lineup has encountered many problems. Carter needs the ball to score, Turkoglu needs the ball to organize, and Nelson also needs the ball. The inside rushes to cause damage, and there is a Warcraft who needs basketball low singles standing inside, but there is only one ball, which is not easy for the Magic.

The Magic played indiscriminately. Almost anyone caught the ball and threw it into the basket. There was no coordination between each other. Yao Ming, Hill and Totoro were very happy to watch. Three 3 meters ago The big men teamed up to block the three-second zone, and you grabbed one rebound and I grabbed another, and the data kept going up.

On the offensive end, the Rockets are also very clear. Paul holds the ball and stands at the top of the arc, Totoro moves across the two corners, the little giant sticks to the front of the small penalty area, Battier is in ambush at the bottom corner, and Hill is on the baseline. Move in a wide range, ready to grab offensive rebounds or eat soldiers at any time, the Rockets depend on how the Magic defends.

If they don't double-team Yao Ming, Paul will pass the ball to Dayao, and let him use his absolute height and soft touch to kill the game by two points. If they go to double-team Yao Ming, then whether it is Paul himself or the Dragon The cats have absolute certainty in singles. Paul is currently the player with the highest efficiency in small-to-big offense in the league, and Totoro is the player with the highest efficiency in large-to-small offense. In other words, as long as other teams send one person to defend them Two, then nine times out of ten they mean losing points.

36 to 23, although this is just a preseason game without too much reference value, but the Magic who played all the main players was abused by the Rockets too badly. Just now, they have been constantly reinforcing for a summer and preparing to challenge the Rockets again in the next year, but now it is good to check the goods in the game. Not only did they not narrow the gap with the Rockets, but they also have the illusion of being widened. They feel that they are alone. Xia Tian's efforts are all in vain.

Yao Ming played 6 minutes in the first quarter and took a break. Adelman is different from Van Gundy. The old coach is quite good at life. He knows that the little giant has been playing games this summer, and last summer he was also playing in the Olympics. Count the days The little giant has been playing for almost a whole year without rest, and he doesn't have people like Totoro in the national team to share the pressure on him. Yao Ming's physical fitness has always been in a state of high-risk alert.

In order not to allow his team to reimburse the 2000 million a year, Adelman still greatly reduced Dayao's playing time, but the little giant's statistics did not decline due to the reduction in playing time, only playing 6 minutes Yao Ming's efficiency is outrageously high. With Totoro and Paul taking turns to feed the ball, Yao Ming actually made 9 of 7 shots in the half quarter and scored 16 points and 4 rebounds with two free throws. This is almost the same as Byner The data of Mu and Dampier for the whole game
The Magic thought that after Yao Ming went down, their pressure would be reduced a little, but who knew that when Tyson Chandler came up, the Magic felt that they had become more difficult.

There is one thing to say, in 09, Chandler's defensive skills and athletic ability were definitely higher than Dayao's. Chandler, who was healthy, not injured, and at his peak, was Howard's rebounding, blocking and blocking champions every year. The most favorable contender for the best defensive player, and the most important thing is that after Yao Ming went down, the speed of the Rockets suddenly rose to a new level. With Chandler who can run and jump better, the Rockets have changed from the peak Spurs to the peak Suns, and the fast-bombing style of play has overwhelmed the Magic.
After a successful defense, Taj Gipson grabbed the rebound and handed it to Paul. Paul quickly advanced with the ball, and Chandler, Iguodala and Totoro all went down in unison. , but how can they prevent a fast break from a passing master plus three top athletic players at their respective positions?

Paul made a signature scalpel pass to Totoro. Although Turkoglu tried his best to stick to Totoro, Paul passed the ball very boldly and accurately. He not only calculated the advance amount in advance, but also It seems to have taken into account the difference in arm span and palm size between Totoro and the Turkish agent. Totoro can catch the ball, but Turkoglu can't reach it. This is the skill of a super pass master.

But Totoro seems to be playing. Today, he doesn't want to score by himself, but wants to rely on himself to make the team's offense more beautiful. He has a kind of desire in his heart to build this Rockets team like the Lakers Johnson back then. , Worthy, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are at SHOWTIME. He not only wants the Rockets to keep winning, but also makes the ball win beautifully. The audience is satisfied and the players themselves are happy. He wants this kind of winning method!
Therefore, the Totoro who got the ball did not attack the basket with three steps after dribbling the ball. Instead, he used his long arm to catch the ball behind his back and pass it out. The basketball flew into the hands of Iguodala, who followed up from the left. , and the first brother seemed to understand what he meant. He didn't dunk directly after he jumped up. Instead, he threw the ball out of the basket after attracting the attention of the defense. Grabbing the basketball with both hands is a slam dunk, the entire basket is about to be pulled down by the brute force of the boxing champion!
"Roar!!"

Chandler became the second player to roar and celebrate to the audience. Today the Rockets have too many Jumpmen and Pie Eaters. Many times, they don’t need Totoro to play too hard, and they can easily lead Opponents, and this is precisely the necessary temperament for a dynastic team.

The Magic spent the second quarter in complete pain. Before the start of the game, their morale was high and they were ready to take revenge on the Rockets, but when it was time to play the game and only played the second quarter , the Magic players are like frost-beaten eggplants, hoping that the game will end soon. The Rockets play them very simple, that is, defensive counterattack plus defensive counterattack. Frontcourt rebounds, the Rockets always have 2-3 people rushing towards their own half, they just can't defend!

Van Gundy tried to choke Paul to prevent him from receiving the ball, trying to make a fuss on the initiator's side to curb the Rockets' fast break, but when he found out that the Totoro can actually dribble the ball to launch a fast break, Iguodala also When he was able to sprint with the ball, Van Gundy knew that his tactics were a failure.

And in the fast break, the Rockets are not blindly looking for alley-oops. Paul's ability to read the game and Totoro's ability to force points are really historical levels. If Paul is dribbling the ball, he can always see through it when he moves fast. The opponent's defensive intentions, if the opponent doesn't make an air defense, he can send the stability to a pie-eating man to perform. If the opponent's attention is on the connection between the two, Paul's emergency stop jump shot is also his murderous weapon.

The name of the grandfather of Sao Paulo in the later generations was not blown out. Paul's two-pointers are really deadly, and he can still shoot you a few chasing three-pointers from time to time, just asking you if it hurts?
However, Paul alone can't solve it with a little magic. Coupled with a Totoro who makes the defenders desperate instead of painful, other teams feel that they can't play even more, and they don't know what the Queen Bee ball is It's different whether it's a shot or a pass. Totoro is the kind of unreasonable attack that you can't prevent me even if you know what I'm going to do next. If he really wants to score, even if it's a positional battle, everyone It is difficult for others to guard him when he is standing still, let alone when everyone is moving during the fast break?This is purely a comparison of athletic ability. Before the advent of the Greek monster Antetokounmpo and Emperor Embiid, who can compare with Totoro in terms of athletic ability?Looking at the league, there are only the peak James and the healthy Fengcheng Rose, but if you want to combine athletic ability and shooting, even the Totoro will be the champion.

Among them, there were two wonderful extraordinary performances in the second quarter. The first time came from Paul. His historical sense of the ball + historical sense of rhythm + master-level dribbling skills + star-level physical fitness made the uninjured Paul is omnipotent. During another fast break, he first stopped and started quickly + dribbled the ball under the crotch to pass Nelson cleanly, then overtook Carter forcibly, and then faced Turkoglu and Under the attack of Lewis's closed door, he insisted on changing direction with one hand in advance to open a gap in the closed door. With his dexterous body, he made a butterfly piercing flower, and finally faced the last line of defense Howard. Don't be afraid, the continuous disguised dribbling with both hands behind the back dazzled the beast, and he was immediately stopped by Paul. Paul jumped lightly and threw the ball in with a little back. 1V5 goals!

After the ball staggered and rolled into the basket, the Chinese fans on the scene cheered like a tsunami. Queen Bee has quite a few fans in China. It is different from Deron's more down-to-earth style of play. Paul's gorgeous performance is always It can attract the attention of the audience even more. He and Iverson are the same jumping elves on the court, but Iverson has better scoring ability, more elegant playing, and arrogant personality: while Paul has better assist ability. She has a super-level view of the overall situation, and has a big heart beyond ordinary people conceived in her body.

But the BJ masters soon found that they were too happy too early, because in the Rockets' next offensive round, the happy Totoro also showed the fans a one-on-five fast break!
It's just that it's different from Paul's skill flow. Totoro relies purely on the crushing of physical talent, crushes Nelson and Carter by tonnage, surpasses Turkoglu and Pierce by speed, and finally defeats Howard by wingspan and air stagnation. The most classic scene of the ball is that Totoro takes off outside the penalty area. The Magic has at least three players jumping in front of him and behind him to block the shot. He stretched his arm under the armpit of Warcraft and shot the ball from the other side of the basket. Many Totoro fans are used to his fierce dunks, so this time when he completed this Kobe-specific When Jing Jing hit the board and scored a reverse basket, they didn't realize it all at once and forgot to applaud.

It wasn’t until the referee whistled that the ball was 2+1, and when Paul and Taj Jbson trotted over to pull Totoro up from the floor, the fans at the scene woke up like a dream. The roof was knocked over.

At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets led the Magic by 82 points 54 to 34. If you don’t know who the two teams are playing against in this game, you might think that the Rockets are playing a friendly match against a certain CBA team just by looking at the score. The Rockets team made 42 of 32 shots, and the shooting rate was close to 70%. The Magic's defense was no different from the paper in front of the Rockets. Rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks. Paul scored 3 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the halftime. Yao Ming, who did not play, still had 2 points. Together, they scored 13 points, which is higher than the combined scores of the four All-Star players on the Magic team [Howard + Lewis + Turkoglu + Carter]. How does this make the Magic play?
At the beginning of the second half, the Magic replaced all the main players. Adelman also sent a set of pure substitutes and rookies to perform on the field. The game entered the garbage time in the third quarter. The fans of the game tickets are at a loss, because they could have watched the whole game, but they only watched half of the game, but these fans don't regret spending the money.

Because a few wonderful goals in the first half have already returned their ticket prices, and at the same time they also saw a more powerful rocket, they seemed to see a dynasty in a new century rising in a trance !
