Legendary basketball manager

Defense has never been Lawson's strong suit, and he knows it all too well.

Therefore, even though Curry hit a three-pointer under his defense on the first goal, Lawson's mentality remained stable.

His idea is very simple, you enter me one, and I respond one, isn't that all right?

Ever since, Lawson decided to conduct the attack himself after dribbling the ball through half court.

He calls the pick-and-roll from beyond the arc.

With the help of a screen, Lawson threw off Curry's defense and rushed to the penalty area.

At this time, it was Griffin who defended him.

Griffin strode forward, trying to follow Lawson's pace.

But Lawson's speed is considered fast among guards, and he finally got rid of Griffin's entanglement and rushed to the basket.

However, just as he was collecting the ball and preparing to attack the frame, Paul George on the side suddenly made a diagonal stab and slammed towards the basketball in Lawson's hand.

Lawson was shocked, and in a panic, he dribbled the ball to his feet, and the basketball rolled out of the baseline.

Mistake!

Rocket right.

Lawson scratched the back of his head somewhat annoyedly, then reached out to apologize to his teammates.

And Curry smiled and gave George a high-five, thanking him for helping him defend.

"George's defensive awareness is really good."

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

"Yeah. Don't look at him as a rookie, but his defensive ability is the best in the starting lineup."

"I guess Mark Jackson should have emphasized to him before the game that he should try his best to help Curry defend."

Yang Yi guessed.

Offensive and defensive transition, after Curry dribbled the ball across half court, he handed the ball to McGrady, and then began to run.

As soon as Mengshen started to run, the warriors and generals were always on guard as if they were facing an enemy.

Before the game, their head coach, Keith Smart, specifically emphasized Curry's off-ball offense.

In his original words: "In the game against the Cavaliers, Stephen scored 25 points by running without the ball, and the proportion even exceeded the offense with the ball!"

"Tomorrow's game, if we can't control his catch&shoot well, Stephen may get a high score again."

The warrior generals have no doubts about this.

After all, most of them have been teammates with Curry for a long time and know his shooting ability very well.

This also created a wonderful scene-McGrady held the ball with one hand, but found that the opponent's attention fell more on Curry.

This is the first time t-mac has encountered a situation since it was restored.

Even Ellis, who was facing him, used his peripheral vision to pay attention to Curry's movements.

[good guy...]

McGrady sighed inwardly, then suddenly accelerated.

The terrifying speed of the first step directly made Ellis unable to react, and before he even had time to turn sideways, he was passed by t-mac.

After entering the penalty area, McGrady was greeted by David Lee's supplementary defense.

Poor Brother Li, just got bukkake by Curry in the previous round, and now he ran into the t-mac attacking at high speed.

[No way...]

David Lee suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, McGrady has already taken three big steps, and is heading towards him in a straight line.

After reaching the restricted area, t-mac took off with one foot and tried to buckle.

Li Ge closed his eyes and put his hands in front of his body, ready to "sacrifice his life" to make an offensive foul.

But McGrady is so easy to defend, relying on his strong core strength, he turned slightly sideways in the air, and will avoid a head-on collision with David Lee...

"bang!"

A powerful one-handed dunk directly knocked Brother Li to the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Blocking the foul, McGrady scored two points and added a penalty!

t-mac celebrated with a relaxed high-five with his teammates, as if he had done a simple thing.

At the same time, the fans at the scene sent a uniform chanting when he walked to the free throw line:

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

"mvp!!!"

......

McGrady enjoyed the cheers and steadily made the extra penalty.

At 6:0, the point difference continued to widen.

In an offensive and defensive transition, Ellis challenged McGrady.

He first dribbled the ball like a butterfly piercing a flower, shaking out a certain space, and then accelerated to break through to the basket.

There, the little oriental giant stood tall with its long arms raised high, covering the sky and the sun.

But Ellis is a ruthless man nicknamed "Tornado Boy". I saw him face up to the difficulties and challenge Yao Ming directly.

Just when everyone thought he would be severely humiliated by the big risk, Ellis turned 360° in the air, completing a freehand waltz.

Yao Ming looked at the opponent flying by in surprise and watched him complete the layup.

6:2, the Warriors also opened!

After the goal, Ellis was also very excited, showing his biceps towards the stands.

Obviously, he felt a great sense of accomplishment if he could complete the finish in front of a 2 meter giant.

However, just as Ellis was celebrating, the Rockets were about to serve the bottom line.

With a flick of his wrist, Curry sent a long pass to George, who was stealing a fast break, and the latter strode straight into the unguarded Warriors lane.

I saw him take off with both feet, and also rotated 360° in the air.

The difference is that George's movements are more stretched and the range is larger than Ellis...

"bang!"

A stunning 360° one-handed dunk made the fans who were amazed by Ellis' gorgeous layup a second ago give out warm cheers again.

After scoring the goal, George followed suit and showed off his biceps to the stands.

And what responded to him was the roar of the Rockets fans so fierce that they overturned the ceiling.

At this moment, Shen Fei, who was sitting in the VIP box, couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Sure enough, you can't blame the fans for being unenthusiastic. When your team is good enough, the fans will also give back corresponding energy."

Commentators on CCTV also expressed similar sentiments.

"Before we broadcast Dayao's games, we often saw a lot of empty seats in the Toyota Center."

"But this season, the enthusiasm of Rockets fans has been completely ignited, and the Toyota Center even feels a bit like Madison Garden Arena (the home of the Knicks)!"

Yu Jia sighed.

"Yes. Although I have said it countless times, I still want to say that all of this happened after Shen Fei took over the Rockets."

Yang Yi said with a smile.

............

In the next round, another veteran Rockets player - Kevin Martin couldn't sit still and began to show his offensive skills.

However, George, who is facing him, is the best perimeter defender in the Rockets' starting lineup.

Martin tried offense without the ball and offense with the ball successively, but was defended by Pickle one by one.

Throughout the first quarter, he tried to challenge George four times, and he only scored two points by fouling the last time.

Pickle's defense not only hit Martin's self-confidence, but also stagnated the Warriors' offense (Lawson and Ellis are both ball-handling types, and it would be difficult for them to play without Martin's off-ball offense to open up space).

On the other hand, for the Rockets, Curry and Tracy McGrady took whatever they wanted, and George also frequently scored points in counterattacks.

And Griffin and Yao Ming, the two giant insiders, also used "basket abuse" to show their dominance.

After the first quarter, the Warriors, who had been aggressive, had been beaten dizzy, and the score of the two teams also came to 42:25.

Once again, the Rockets established a big lead in the first quarter!

In the subsequent games, although the Warriors did not give up, they still could not make waves.

The Rockets took a big lead all the way, and the game completely lost suspense at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Curry and a group of main players chatted and laughed happily on the bench.

And Scola and Shane Battier, two veteran players, got a lot of playing time.

Shen Fei looked at the situation on the field with satisfaction, and he had already started to think about Oden's position when he came back!
