Chapter 300 Sit up from defense

But is Totoro the kind of person who obviously suffers a loss and still refuses to make a move?Obviously not, there is nothing wrong with the referee's penalty this time. All NBA players will do some celebration actions after completing a wonderful goal, such as James' death stare or something. As long as it is not too excessive, just spray two Talking trash or yelling, the general referee will not punish, and the gorilla hurdling referee will not say anything in the future, let alone just verbal stimulation?

Totoro has upgraded his words to physical actions. It is not an exaggeration for the referee to give him a malicious foul. This depends on Totoro's current status in the arena and the Rockets' home game. He only gave him a technical foul, but Totoro feels that he is still at a disadvantage. He, a thriving superstar of tomorrow, was provoked by an all-star who was about to expire?Is it okay to go on like this?

However, the calm Totoro does not intend to beat up Stoudemire on the court. Generally, a rookie is the most impulsive time for a player, and Totoro was already very calm last year when he was a freshman. After being nurtured by the atmosphere of the NBA for a year, he will not become so irritable now. After that anger passes, Totoro has a plan in his heart. Since the opponent is provoking him on basketball, then he will also do it on basketball. No response, since the opponent treats this game as a playoff, then he will play this game as a final!
After the end of the first quarter, Totoro took the initiative to ask Adelman to play. Usually, at the beginning of the second quarter, it was Paul's performance time with a substitute, but today everyone can see the anger of Totoro. Internally, no one questioned Totoro's request, so it was not so much a request to play as he asked to play, and Ashuai didn't care about any doubts about his request.

My Neighbor Totoro received the ball first and made two shots from the outside line. It may be because of my temper. The two shots were all affected by emotions, which changed the arc that the original system aimed at. However, The Suns did not take the opportunity to widen the point difference again, because Totoro's mid-range pitcher felt the impact, but his defensive skills did not regress in the slightest. The old man chased him and wanted to make a quick counterattack, but was caught by the Totoro who was running without the ball. After chasing to the backcourt, three strides and a blood cap directly hit the ball on the backboard and bounced to the three-point line. Although Zodiac heard that Totoro's running speed is different from ordinary people, Nash couldn't believe it. Totoro without the ball was able to keep up with himself with the ball, and ran all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt. You must know that there is at least a 20 cm gap between the two of them. He has never I have seen a 2-meter big man who can follow him all over the court without being thrown away.

In the second round, Totoro was even more aggressive. The Suns led the ball from the outside, but Totoro abandoned its matchup player, Grant Hill, and moved along with their ball path. He would double-team for his teammates when the ball got to them. That person, this defensive method is usually a taboo for military strategists. After all, people's running speed is not as fast as basketball. Experienced teams can easily fiddle with three passes and two leads to create an open space, unless it is the last minute. You have to force someone to make a mistake, otherwise no player will use this kind of gambling defense.

But as I said before, this is also in the case of ordinary defensive players. When encountering an unreasonable defender with animal physical fitness like Totoro, any common sense experience gained before is not advisable.

Nash transferred the ball to the horned Richardson at the top of the arc, and Totoro followed up in time like a phantom. Richardson saw that the situation was not good, and immediately transferred the ball to the bottom of the ambush almost without stopping the ball. In the hands of Grant Hill of Horn, then, there is no more.

What the entire Suns players and head coach Gentry didn't expect was that Totoro could actually keep up with their second pass by virtue of their incredible lateral speed. Logically speaking, a player can keep up with He was already good at passing the ball last time. It should be the credit of the entire team's defensive system that the pass was blocked later. of?Isn't this a fairy tale?
However, Totoro is so unreasonable. The rotation of the Suns was forced to a dead end by Totoro alone. How could Hill's old arms and legs protect the basketball under the pressure of Totoro? He made a time-out gesture, but Totoro never gave him this chance. In the NBA, if the ball is not dead, only the teammate with the ball in his hand has the right to call a time-out, but Totoro and Paul Up and down all the time In fact, as long as Hill's hands are off the ball, they are sure to grab the ball from Hill's arms before he makes a time-out gesture.

Poor old Hill was forced to struggle in the bottom corner for a long time and finally dropped the ball. Although the Rockets still failed to score in the next round of offense, the Chinchillas had already set the tone for the game with defense, but if they fell behind by more than 20 points If the team wants to come back, it is undoubtedly not all caught by defense. It is very important for you to hit a wave of scoring climax, but if you can't contain the opponent's scoring, no matter how high you are, you will not be able to recover 5 points If you score a goal, it is impossible to count as [-] points.
Gentry is undoubtedly a more cautious coach than D'Antoni. The Suns only failed to attack twice in the first game. He smelled danger and called the next timeout to arrange tactics, but this is really useless.

The Sun was restrained entirely because of personal ability, and had nothing to do with tactics. Even if it wasn't the Rockets, anyone who could put on a lineup of boxing champion + Totoro + little AI + president + queen bee could do it. Become the top three defensive teams in the league.

Judging from the later effect, this timeout is more like calling for the Rockets. After the timeout, Totoro suddenly realized that he was no longer obsessed with outside shooting, but resolutely hit the inside to cause damage. As long as Totoro made up his mind to kill, Few teams in the league can limit him. Even if the Totoro are not allowed to score directly, he can score from the free throw line many times. Richardson is too short, Hill is too old, and Stoudemire is too slow. Nash is too thin, Dudley is too stunned, and Barbosa is too young. Anyway, no matter if it is a small forward, even if the Suns take players in several other positions into account, Gentry also found that none of them can take on the big role to limit the Totoro. It's a bit annoying.
