Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

"Damn! James Posey! In less than 2 minutes, he scored seven points and successfully defended against Kobe's two attacks with the ball, and successfully blocked one! My God! What a wonderful performance!" Smith and all the audience in front of the TV were shocked by James Posey's performance.

This second-year player who had been a role player before, showed such a performance today!

It would be fine if he faced some little-known players, but what he defended was Kobe Bryant, who has been in the sky in recent years!

In the office, Dawson was stunned watching the picture on the TV.

He had thought that Han Ning would create some opportunities for James Posido, but he did not expect that under Han Ning's hands, he averaged 10.7 points per game last season. It is about to reach the scoring average of last season.

The game continues.

Kobe held the ball, used his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of James Posey, and scored a three-pointer against the old cat Mobley.

Han Ning couldn't help shaking his head on the sidelines.

Kobe's touch is really good tonight.

Turning his head, James Posey held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to return a three-pointer.

Tonight, he felt that he was in a good state, and Francis had been passing the ball to him, so he unconsciously regarded himself as the team's first scorer.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, the basketball smashed out of the basket, and Dayao took off and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Bang!"

Seeing this, Han Ning quickly shouted: "Posey! Posey! Play No. [-] tactic! No. [-] tactic!"

This is Han Ning's tactic specially set for James Posey, which means to use the pick-and-roll to hit more mid-range shots.

Samaki Walker of the Lakers beat Yao under the basket and failed to score. The rebound was taken by Kenny Thomas, and then Francis advanced with the ball.

After coming to the top of the arc, he handed the basketball directly to James Posey.

After James Posey looked up and saw that the player in charge of defending himself had become Kobe, he felt a little excited in his heart.

After making a three-threat move, he held the ball up with both hands and made a three-point move.

He scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up before, which impressed Kobe deeply. At this time, he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed over to block the shot.

After James Posey saw Kobe being shaken up, he quickly withdrew his hands, dribbled and rushed out from Kobe's side, and just stepped into the three-point line, he took off and made a mid-range shot.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

The basketball arced through the air and fell into the net!

There was silence in the Staples Center.

Tonight they have thought that Francis will continue to break through in their team's penalty area, and they also thought that Dayao may wreak havoc under the basket without O'Neal's protection.

But I never thought that James Posey would play like this.

Before halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers were already behind by 8 points!The total score came to 13 to 5. Of the 13 points scored by the Rockets, nine of them were scored by James Posey alone!

After James Posey played such an outstanding performance, the Lakers put the focus of defense on him.

All of a sudden, James Posey's offensive efficiency was greatly reduced, and Han Ning had to arrange new tactical arrangements after the first quarter.

"Posey, if the offense is not going well, you can try to pass a few more balls to Yao. The Lakers can't defend Yao without O'Neal. If the Lakers shift their defensive focus next, we will continue to play. This is about Posey. Tonight I can give you enough mid-range shooting opportunities! Posey, I only have one requirement for you, you must score higher than Kobe, and on the other hand, work hard on the defensive end and let me see him !"

Han Ning's words stunned the other Rockets players.

This is simply treating James Posey as the star of the Rockets!

Not only gave unlimited firepower on the offensive end, but also gave him the most important task on the defensive end.

Turning his head to look at Francis and Dayao, they seemed to have no opinion at all, and accepted the result very calmly.

On the other hand, Mobley was a little unhappy, with a displeased expression on his face, but Francis and Dayao didn't speak, and he didn't take the initiative to say anything.

James Posey's heart was about to explode with joy. This was the first time he could have such a high tactical status in the team, and he was full of self-confidence.

"beep!!!"

After the timeout ended, Han Ning looked at the back of James Posey with a smile.

The lad is still a little young.

According to Han Ning's use of James Posey today, it is almost equivalent to catching a person to death.

Not only does he need to take on the heavy responsibility of offense, but he also needs to take on the task of defending Kobe.

The average head coach would not use a player like this over a long season.

The NBA season is very long, even the head coach who likes to use the main force and does not like to rotate has to consider the physical strength of each player.

And Han Ning's use of James Posey in this way will only have one consequence, that is, James Posey's state in the next game will be very sluggish, and his physical reserves throughout the season will be affected to a certain extent.

But... Han Ning doesn't care!

A player who is about to be traded, wouldn't he squeeze out the remaining value now and save his energy for the new year? !

It's a pity that James Posey only thought that he wanted to reuse him, but he never thought that the better he played today, the sooner he would leave the Rockets.

After the whole game, James Posey made 31 of 10 shots, scored 5 points, [-] assists, [-] rebounds and [-] blocked shots.

Whenever the Lakers shifted their defensive focus to him, James Posey passed the basketball to Yao, and Yao easily crushed the Lakers inside and scored.

After one game, James Posey also got ten assists from Dayao.

And Francis' data in this game is some rare assists in double figures, most of which are obtained after passing the ball to James Posey.

James Posey has never felt that a game can be played so easily and happily. When he is double-teamed, he passes the ball to Yao for an assist, and when he is open, he makes a mid-range shot.

The most important thing is that Kobe only scored 26 points in a normal game defended by him, and his shooting percentage was as good as 40%!

You must know that this month, Kobe's scoring average is as high as 35 points or more!Such a defensive performance is enough to say that it is quite good.

The only bad thing is that after the game, he was too tired to lie on the floor and couldn't get up.

Han Ning enthusiastically helped James Posey up and led him into the post-match press conference.
