Guard With a Knife

Although Adelman is known for his offense, in fact today's Rockets are still driven by the defensive team left by former head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

So far this season, the Rockets rank fourth in the league in limiting opponents' scoring (92 points), and the two defensive indicators of limiting opponents' shooting percentage and net rebounds rank second in the league.

But...the Rockets still have a certain distance from the Celtics, who rank among the best in the league in various defensive indicators. In terms of creating opponent turnover and absolute control rate of defensive rebounds, the Rockets did not do well enough.

The first point is that they don't have a reliable point guard, or they don't have a point guard at all.

The second reason is... Yao Huang didn't do a good enough job of rushing the opponent's offensive rebounds. Compared with his bug-like scoring skills, his rebounding ability relies more on his position and height. His jumping, wingspan and protection of the basketball after picking up the basketball are not good enough.

In addition, the power forward that Adelman matched with him has now become Luis Scola. Scola is a good floor player, but his jumping and jumping speed are even comparable to Yao Huang.

The Rockets are a very old-school traditional offensive team. They're like the Boston Celtics of the West. I mean style.

Spoelstra analyzed before the game.

This sentence is actually inoculating the Heat, because everyone knows that the last time the Boston Celtics slaughtered more than forty points in the American Airlines Center arena.

Then, he arranged key tactics.

He still gave Doug unlimited control, and at the same time controlled Michael Beasley's tactical routes to 5 tonight, and took back his unlimited fire rights.

Last night's game against the Hornets, he managed to show the coaching staff that he was out of touch with the team: When the basketball was in his hands, he almost completely refused to pass the ball to his teammates.

Tonight he will face Ron Artest and Sean Battier, these two defensive champions are not vegetarians. If he continues to play like last night, he will even get a more disastrous shooting percentage than last night.

Swish!

Doug, who returned to the court to warm up, completed a backhand twist and layup.

This action was something he had never experienced before. He only knew straight up and down without any skill. Now this feeling makes him extremely happy.

However, it was obvious that Michael Beasley standing next to him was a madman, and he didn't notice Doug's progress.

Even Doug jeers when he drives to the rim again for a low half-draw layup: Look, Snoopy, your layup is so stiff. You should be like me.

As he said that, he rushed into the paint area and completed a backhand layup with a 360-degree spin in the air.

This action fully revealed his talent.

At the same time, Doug was extremely surprised, thinking: If this kid has one-fifth of my IQ, he will definitely become a top 20 superstar in the league.

To be honest, Snoopy. If it weren't for you, I would have kicked over the desk in the locker room. Michael Beasley said angrily: The entire coaching staff is targeting me. As promised. Now even an idiot can see that they value you more. But in fact, you also know that I am stronger than you!

I control the ball, you control the scoring and rebounding, isn't that a good combination? Doug asked him.

This is indeed a wonderful match. But that bastard Sean Marion is too pushy, he can't wait to flatter you, obviously he was right with you before the start of the season. Beasley said more and more Angry: I hate this double-faced man very much. Everyone knows that he approaches you because he wants you to help him get better data, so that he can get out of the contract and get a long-term pension contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Before Beasley could finish his words, Sean Marion over there raised the mug in his hand to Doug friendly: Hey, Snoopy. This is a functional drink that I asked a nutritionist to prepare for you. , with your name on it, you can enjoy it anytime.

OK, thanks.

Doug nodded politely at him.

Beasley's mouth puckered again: Look, how disgusting his flattery is.

Doug patted him on the shoulder. He had been hearing such complaints from Beasley in the past two days. He sounded like a concubine competing for favor in the harem, and couldn't wait to get his favor.

This incident was beyond Doug's expectations. If time goes back to the day when Beasley and Marion had a public breakup, he couldn't even dream that these two thorns in each other's backs would eventually surround him.

At this time, a Chinese reporter came to interview.

Douglas held Beasley and asked him to chat with the Chinese reporter.

Beasley, who has been emphasizing that he and Doug are best friends, recently got quotations from two Chinese manufacturers. Although he doesn't know why there are manufacturers like Golden Throat Lozenges and Instant Noodles looking for him to endorse, but He happily accepted these two sponsorship contracts worth more than 100,000 U.S. dollars... Shooting two commercials can earn close to 100,000 U.S. dollars after tax, why not?

For this, he is very grateful to Doug. He even threatened to share the best gift with Du Ge, which surprised Du Ge and quickly refused. God knows if the drug-sniffing dog will break into his bedroom after his gift is delivered to the door.

I am very much looking forward to the fight with Yao Huang. He has always been my idol. His unique charm has made the American people understand the Chinese people better and respect them more. President Clinton is right. He is indeed my country's largest export to the United States. There is no doubt about it. When I came to the United States, a lot of people who didn't know me would yell at me. It was very funny. In fact, when I first walked into the arena, some people said I am the mini version of Yao Huang.

Duge smiled and answered the questions of the Chinese reporters.

He is also looking forward to this upcoming Chinese Derby.

I know that many Chinese fans are waiting for this game. We will definitely play our style and present a visual feast for the fans.

At this time, some reporters couldn't help asking Ron Artest's question. They asked whether Doug would care about Artest's remarks.

Du Ge's answer was simple: I respect Yao Huang a lot, but in this matter, I will not give Yao Huang face.
