Legendary basketball manager

After Howard was injured, the Magic sent their backup center, the Polish hammer-Gortat!

Although the European center did not leave any brilliant achievements in the NBA, he had a very classic interview.

In the interview, Gortat said seriously:

"Honestly, I wish I could play every day, 'back to back' all the time."

"Because in the training game, I had to face Howard, and I was sore every time I finished playing."

"In contrast, it's much easier to play an official game. I only need to deal with the opponent's backup center."

The content of this interview was later often used by the media to describe Howard's strength.

There are also many fans, even players, who use it to tease Gortat.

And the outspoken Polish hammer, after seeing such remarks, immediately said: "Whether I am strong or not, you can feel it against me!"

The result is...no answer.

After all, Gortat has a very good static talent, and is definitely an above-average blue-collar insider!

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

The game continued and the Rockets served from the sideline.

Lowry, who had just replaced Curry, dribbled to the top of the arc and organized the offense.

Oden stepped up, setting cover for him.

It may be because of the long-lost battle, the burly Oden set up a pick-and-roll that was not reliable, and did not block Lowry's opposing defender to death.

This directly led to the small steel gun being double-teamed by the opponent's point guard and center.

Fortunately, Roy on the side ran in time to respond, allowing Lowry to pass the ball safely.

Not only that, but because Gortat went to double-team Lowry, Oden became the one who was emptied.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Roy spotted the Emperor Shunxia immediately.

With a flick of his wrist, the basketball accurately found Oden.

"bang!"

When the emperor goes out to fight, not a single blade of grass grows!

Oden completed another super-visual impact, pulling the basket with both hands and dunking!

After the goal, he grabbed the frame with his left hand and hung excitedly above the basket, while pointing his right hand at Roy who assisted him.

Two former Trail Blazers completed a gorgeous connection in Houston!

At the same time, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak at this moment.

However, before the joy of the fans passed, some episodes occurred on the court.

It turned out that in the next defensive round, Oden made two consecutive unnecessary fouls.

Once, when he squeezed through the pick-and-roll, he exerted too much force and pushed it directly to Gortat.

Once, he cut the ball recklessly on the defensive end, and it hit Alston directly.

After two consecutive fouls, Oden was also replaced by Mark Jackson.

And Shen Fei in the stands watched all this calmly.

In the original time and space, there are two key words in Oden's trailblazer career.

One is frequent injuries, which needless to say.

The second is that it is easy to get into foul trouble.

For example, the 08-09 season was Oden's debut season.

He was still healthy at the time, playing a total of 61 games throughout the season.

However, after reading the data sheet, you will find that Oden's average playing time is only about 20 minutes per game!

Why is there only such a small amount of playing time?

Is it because the Blazers have other good centers?

Not also!

At that time, Oden could be said to be the "hope of the whole village" for the Trail Blazers.

The whole team is eager to give him more playing time to practice!

However, Oden often received three or four fouls within a short time after playing, and had to rest.

Shen Fei attaches great importance to this issue, and in the past few days, he deliberately took the time to study his game video.

After observation, the Asian youth came to a preliminary conclusion—Oden was prone to fouls, and a large part of the reason was that he was too aggressive on the defensive end!

This problem has been with Oden since his debut season.

Now time has passed.

Shen Fei originally thought that frequent injuries would smooth out the emperor's many edges and corners.

Unexpectedly, Oden is still passionate, and the foul problem is still the same!

"I have to urge him to change this habit, otherwise he will definitely be targeted in the playoffs."

Shen Fei said thoughtfully.

From the current point of view, Oden is a qualified backup center for the Rockets.

His strength, speed, jumping and other talents are all very much needed by the team.

Then if, as just now, fouls are committed consecutively in just one minute, Oden's playing time will be forced to be shortened.

And in the playoffs, sooner or later, he will encounter an insider with excellent golf intelligence like Nowitzki.

These people will definitely seize this weakness of Oden and frequently try to draw his fouls.

If it didn't change, Shen Fei wouldn't be surprised that Oden set the record for the fastest six fouls in the playoffs one day.

"Jade in the rough has yet to be carved, and there is a long way to go..."

The Asian youth muttered to himself.

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

Look back to the field.

Although Oden is lost, the Rockets still have a lot of good players on the bench!

With a wave of his hand, Mark Jackson replaced Griffin and pushed Tucker to the fifth position.

The Rockets took advantage of the trend and played a small lineup.

Afterwards, Lowry and Roy chose "military training" Gortat one after another.

Poor Polish Hammer, who is full of strength, but his footsteps are too slow, he was played around by the two guards of the Rockets.

The magic coach - Stan Van Gundy saw something bad, so he had to replace Gortat and put on a small lineup.

Unexpectedly, 2 minutes later, Mark Jackson changed again and replaced the three main players, Yao Mai and Curry, back on the court.

Then, Yao Ming hit the inside of the Magic for a while.

McGrady also frequently uses his super fast first step to attack the opponent's penalty area.

The Magic was in chaos up and down, and the point difference was further widened.

At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had led by more than 20 points!

As the so-called one-shot, and then decline, three and exhausted.

The Magic are now in a "depleted" state.

The main player was injured and retired, and the team fell behind by a big score... The morale of the magic players was low, and they never organized a decent counterattack.

In the end, the score was fixed at 125:106, and the Rockets beat the Magic at home by 19 points!

After the game, Mark Jackson attended the press conference with Oden, who had returned from injury, and McGrady, who played well.
