"Ron Artest is too fond of creating physical confrontations when defending, and Yao Shu and Scola don't have enough range to defend. This gives Snoopy the possibility of making waves, and Snoopy is good at physical confrontation as well as finding opportunities in the gaps. ”

Earl Johnson said from the commentary booth.

As he spoke, Yao Shu's turnaround jumper missed, Joel Anthony took a defensive step around the front this time, and when Yao Shu received a high throw and was about to dunk, Duge happened to be caught up, which made Yao's jumper slightly off the basket.

Haslem defended the rebound and then handed it to Mario Money.

Mario Chanmos brought the ball to the front court and handed it to Dug again.

As soon as Dugg received the basketball, Sean Battier moved his feet quickly, and the two defensive giants tried to nip Dugg in the bud to prevent him from attacking the paint.

But while he moved quickly, Dugg handed the basketball to Michael Beasley on the weak side with quicker passes.

Beasley received the ball and burst forward, turned his back and took out Scola's defense, and threw the basketball high into the basket.

“OK！ The conversion of possession on the strong and weak sides finally had a bit of chemistry. Pat Riley looked very pleased.

This is the result he was expecting.

Swish!

Ron Artest hits a jumper. When Dugg went to trap Yao, Yao passed the basketball to Artest, who hit a mid-range jumper.

Then... Artest was still guarding against Duge's breakaway, and he wanted to provoke Dug with pre-match trash talk that would make Dug lose sight of the other. As a result, I didn't expect the person who took care of one or the other to become himself.

As a team player, he now thinks more about the donkey's tongue than the team.

By this time, Dugg had already begun to pull Haslem into his offensive combination with Beasley.

Haslem has a solid mid-range jumper that can kill from the perimeter when he pulls out to block pick-and-rolls.

With the donkey's tongue hanging high above his head, Artest looked unhappy with the switch after the pick-and-roll, which brought great shooting convenience to Haslem.

When Haslem was able to throw in the basketball with ease, when Michael Beasley was able to shake off Sean Battier's suffocating defense.

Even though the Rockets were able to shoot in the paint zone, the Rockets still entered a negative growth state in terms of scoring.

Backbite!

The second quarter ended quickly.

55：47。

The Miami Heat, who are playing at home, have taken an eight-point lead, much to the surprise of many. No one could have imagined that the Miami Heat, who were still beaten by the New Orleans Hornets the night before, would beat the Rockets at halftime.

"Tonight was a veritable Chinese derby, Yao Shu scored 15 points and 6 rebounds in the first half, and Snoopy's statistics were more comprehensive: 8 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks."

"What surprised me the most was that Snoopy actually tore the Rockets' defense on the offensive end, and he changed the Rockets' defensive model. He's finally a bit of an elite player. Even in the game with a quadruple-double, he was still a passive role player driven by tactics and teammates for the most part. But tonight, he started to take control of the game, he was able to open up the line and create chances for his team-mates. ”

Charles Barkley gave Dugg the most praise in his halftime comments, but he also didn't forget to review this summer's draft: "Needless to say, Pat Riley is betting on success again. The poor Milwaukee Bucks have formed a natural rejection of Chinese players after planting a big heel on Yi Jianlian. As a result, they only spent $1 million to hand over this super cash cow, which has jumped to the top ten in the league in terms of commercial value. You might say Milwaukee also got a top-five protected pick. But unfortunately, this pick has become worthless as Miami's record rankings have become more and more stable, and perhaps only a 20th or even 30th pick may not be necessary. ”

Buckley's tendencies are very clear.

But that didn't matter, because TNT brought him in to hear his unique perspective.

In the commentary seats, everyone has a different job classification. Like, Earl Johnson, he rarely says anything tendentious.

"Snoopy has been dominant on the offensive end for two reasons, number one: he's improved. His control of the breaking rhythm and the offense under the basket is better than before. Second: Ron Artest. His pre-match remarks are tying him to the flames. He now has to pull his teammates over to join him in the game of besieging Snoopy. And this is bound to upset the tactical balance and give the rest of the Heat players an offensive opportunity. ”

"Actually, there is a third point. Yao's defensive mobility was also what forced the two wingers to shrink in time. ”

TNT's experts are the head of the analysis.

But in the away dressing room, Ron Artest was biting a Big Mac burger, and he used to eat some junk food at half-time to replenish his energy.

"Listen, we can't go on like this. We've got to lock that Snoopy guy out of the paint zone, and that's the only way... We're going to be able to stop the Heat's offense! Ron Artest said.

After Tracy Madty retired from injury, he has become the No. 1 player on the outside of the Rockets.

"No, Ron. I think you should forget what you said before the game. We shouldn't use a bag on him, I don't think he's going to be able to break through your defense every time, and I don't think he's going to score every time he gets to the basket. Karlandri said: "We should focus our defense on the other players. ”

Landry spoke to many in the locker room.

Everyone thinks Artest is faking public affairs, in their opinion. As long as you guard against the rest of the Heat, it doesn't matter how many points Snoopy scores.

Bang!

The irascible Artest punched the door of the locker closet: "Boy, you're offending me." Do you think I'm worried about the she-donkey? I'm protecting Yao, don't you know how dangerous it is to let a beast repeatedly break into the paint area? ”

He walked to the center of the locker room and glared at Carl Landry with angry eyes.

Landry withdrew his gaze. Artest's reputation for murder made him not want to continue arguing.

At this time, Adelman walked over, and he began to lay out new tactics.

He made a very small change, he took Sean Battier to defend Dugg and Ron Artest to defend Michael Beasley.

Shaun Battier's defensive ability is not much inferior to Artest, and he is definitely not hot-headed against Snoopy, he is a top student of Duke and is also an MOP winner. I believe his confrontation with Snoopy will be even more interesting.

"That kid must not be allowed to continue scoring." Artest told Battier as he walked out of the locker room.

Battier nodded seriously: "If he only has the ability to attack under the basket, then he will definitely not score 7 points in the second half." ”

Arteste nodded, he had always trusted Battier's words: because Sean had never been a man of rhetoric.

So, wait and see, Snoopy.

Artest's eyes became sharper, and he was ready for Dug to break through Battier's defense and immediately rush to block himself. He didn't even mind flapping him to the ground with his strength, showing him how bad a man could be when he dared to break the ribs of the basketball god!

At the same time, the home team's dressing room has also made new personnel changes. Spoelstra heeded Duger's advice: We just need to drain Yao's physical energy in the third quarter, and by the fourth quarter the Rockets will fall into habitual weakness. I've studied their games, and seven of the 11 games they've lost this season have come in the fourth quarter.

As a result, Margloyle, Joel Anthony, Shaun Marion, Daquin Cook, and Duge became the starting lineup for the second half.

This lineup means that Dugg has a tougher task on the offensive end.
