Alstom dribbles the ball across half court.The ball was given to McGrady on the wing, and McGrady held the ball on the flank to face Butler's close defense, looking for an opportunity to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Anderson frantically circled forward, Odom was behind him ready to flank at any time, and Ke Yan prepared a big gift for Yao Ming.

Yao Ming pulls to the corner to catch the ball. This position is not the singles position used by big centers, but Yao Ming can directly attack from this position.

Odom filled the position in time and flanked Anderson together. Yao Ming made a shot feint by raising his hand to look at the basket, followed by a dribble with a hard face frame, carrying Anderson's defense and sending the ball into the basket.

"Oh! It's amazing!" Zhang Lili was full of praise. He originally thought that it would be a better choice to give the ball to Bowen who was open, but Yao Ming chose a one-for-two and sent the ball into the basket. This is ability!

"Only talking about low-post offense, Yao is really top 3 in the league, and he still has a mid-range range~" Monty Williams looked at Ke Yan with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Such an offensively lethal inside line can be called the nemesis for the Lakers with a vacuum of inside personnel.In this regard, Ke Yan followed the previous methods of defending Yao Ming from various coaches in the league, "Going around the front to compress the space for receiving the ball, and then flanking after receiving the ball, trying to force him to pass the ball."

Of course, the more important thing is to find ways to speed up the pace of the game on the offensive end, increase the number of rounds to and fro, and speed up his physical consumption!

Atkins held the ball across the half court and handed the ball to Odom. Anderson immediately mentioned the high pick-and-roll, helped Odom break through Bowen, came to the free throw line, attracted Yao Ming to defend, and then sent a straight pass. Kobe Bryant catches the ball to the rim and fouls Jim Jackson.

Bryant made two free throws to recover the score.

"After Kimi took office, the record of the Lakers improved, and the biggest contributor was Odom. Kimi magnified the advantages of Odom's comprehensive skills. On the offensive end, he allowed him to control more of the ball. When he carries people, he just brings out his center's body and point guard's skills." Barkley of the TNT commentary team was full of praise for Odom, pointing out his great contribution on the offensive end.

Jerry Sloan once said a sentence when commenting on Odom, "It is very difficult to design tactics that match Odom's talent." He also pointed out his problem, comprehensive but lacks the stable scoring means that a superstar should have.

In response to this, Ke Yan simply let Odom support the team in various tasks.The team's point guard has no organizational skills, so they just let Odom control the ball; It is responsible for the occasional big and small, occasionally stealing chickens from the outside, and occasionally playing pick-and-rolls for mid-range shots and the like.

The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming pulled out to play a pick-and-roll with McGrady. The excellent quality of the pick-and-roll won McGrady a comfortable shooting space, and the latter hit a [-]-pointer with a confidant.

If it were left in the past, after McGrady scored a goal, there is a high probability that Kobe will pay back one.But this time, Kobe was not in a hurry to drop the post and wanted to play singles.Instead, he took the initiative to ask for a pick-and-roll with Anderson, attracting Yao Ming to come out and send a pass through the crotch. Anderson went down to catch the ball and faced Jim Jackson for a layup. Although the ball missed, it caused Jim Jackson to foul for the second time!

"Boom!" Anderson made the first free throw, the Rockets made more substitutions, Wesley replaced Jim Jackson, and McGrady was pushed to the small forward position.

The corner of Ke Yan's mouth unconsciously showed a smile, this time the Rockets are in trouble!

Wesley said he was a combo guard, but at worst he was an outside shooter with the height of a point guard.Can take the ball across the half court, run outside to find opportunities to shoot, and the outside shooting rate will be 35%, which is on the passing line by the standards of pitchers.His strengths are that among players of the same height, his speed is not slow, his strength advantage is obvious, and he can sometimes score some goals that are not opportunities.

But no matter what, if you let him partner with Alston on the back line, Kobe and Butler on the defensive end, this is a cruel thing!

Height, strength, and athletic ability are all unbearable!

This also clearly reflects a problem with the Rockets. The lineup is too extreme. Except for Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, how far is the others behind by more than one level?Van Gundy's employment prefers stable veterans who don't make mistakes, and has no habit of reusing young people. The team lineup is very deformed.

The next game was included in the rhythm that Ke Yan expected. Yao Ming worked hard to carry in the interior, and the Lakers could not effectively limit his offense in the interior. Of course, few teams in the league can do this; The outside line was also completely suppressed by the Lakers. Kobe can say that he can get anything he wants when he plays Wesley!You switch to McGrady to defend, and Butler is just as brutal against Wesley!

Kobe and Butler scored 16 points together in the first quarter, helping the Lakers lead the Rockets by 29 points at 25:4.

The point difference is not big, but it is based on the fact that Yao Ming played less than 11 minutes in the first quarter and McGrady played the entire first quarter. Van Gundy used the combination of Yao and McGrady to cover the loss of other players in the team. It is not at all long-term strategy.Neither Yao Ming nor Tracy McGrady are good at physical fitness. If it continues, the Lakers must have the upper hand!

In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets let Jim Jackson, who played only 2 minutes in the first quarter, take the bench lineup. Van Gundy knew that this period of time was the advantage of the Lakers. Rest time, and don't let the point difference go to double digits.

At this stage, Ke Yan replaced the small lineup with the team's most powerful offensive firepower, Eddie House, Finley, Kobe, Butler, and Odom.

"Hey, Ke Yan asked Kobe to stay on the court and continue to play. It was obviously aimed at Wesley. Kobe and Butler scored a lot of goals on him in today's game. It should be to open up the point difference in one breath. However, it is easy to have physical problems later, it depends on whether the players can withstand it." Zhang Lili saw the Lakers' killer move and worried for the Rockets.

With Yao Ming around, at this time he is speaking more from the standpoint of the Rockets, and he has not yet transformed into "Weiping Bryant".

Take the initiative to ask for the ball from beyond the three-point line, then bend down and adjust his dribbling rhythm. The Lakers players who are familiar with Kobe's habits all pull to the weak side.

His body trembled suddenly, Kobe's shoulders swayed left and right, his body suddenly leaned to the right, his padded left foot stepped out to the right like lightning, and at the same time, he dribbled the ball with his right hand.

Jim Jackson shifted his center of gravity to the left and stepped out with his right foot to block Kobe.

Kobe's foot suddenly stopped, and with the strength obtained from the ground, his whole body that had moved to the right stopped for a moment, and the ball that had been shot bounced quickly on the ground and returned to his hand.With a fork of both feet, and a quick shot of the basketball, Kobe's body accelerated again!Wesley, who was on the side, dodged past him on the first shot of the cover and went to the basket alone.

Facing Mutombo standing in front of him with open arms, Kobe rushed over at full speed without any hesitation!

Kobe stood up from the ground, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and lifted it vigorously behind his head. His feet seemed to be stepped on springs, and he flew up. He arched his knees and dunked recklessly toward the basket in front of him. !

"boom!"

The basket yelled loudly, showing his deformed body in pain.

Kobe grabbed the red basket with both hands, pulled it vigorously, bent his arms, and made a standing up gesture with arrogance, then jumped down, flicked a few times on the floor, and roared loudly!

Although he can occasionally show his strength on the defensive end, he really hopes that Mutombo will defend the basket when the team loses the outside line. It's a dream!
