Chapter 498: The Fox's Plan
At halftime, the elder Dunleavy once again emphasized defense, and in the first half they allowed the Rockets to score 54 points, which is definitely not a successful defense, and the Rockets have a law that if you score more than 100, you must win, which is not scientific at all. ← Top Novel, www.
"We're going to play aggressively and make every shot, every break, feel like it's difficult. And rebounds, we have to grab the rebounds in the front court and the backcourt rebounds, although the little giant is tall, his rebounds are not good, we have to grab more rebounds! "Dunleavy Sr. at halftime repeatedly stressed the importance of rebounding and defense.
In the third quarter, the Clippers used a lot of combined defense against the Rockets, especially against the Little Giants who were faster than in the first half.
Yao Ming was stealed by Garcia as soon as he came up in the second half, and the Clippers played a quick counterattack, and Ji Guozhi made a layup to make a defensive foul on Ariza and got two free throws.
Ji Guoyi hit both free throws, and the Clippers equalized the score.
The Clippers' strategy of wrapping Yao Ming in the second half has changed, no longer using Ji Guosha to wrap the clip, but using the second and third positions to wrap the clamp from the outside. It is conceivable that in this game, he must be the player with the highest running distance among the players in the game.
Taylor. Swift looked at the dead fox, quite proud in front of the little carrot shred, strong staying power, is really strong, who has his little fox for a long time?
Yao Ming looked at Ji Guosha, who was running for a long time, and was very envious in his heart, this kind of body is really a monster, won't he be tired?
Of course, Ji Guozhi will be tired, but not now, this kind of beating can last for a while. The third quarter was a very important part of the game. Many teams were pushed in the third quarter. The Rockets have a long history of third-quarter collapse in waves. So he is now sparing no expense, the purpose is to take away the rocket in a wave in the third quarter.
The two brothers discussed it in their hearts, the third quarter was Ji Guoyi's performance moment, and when he ran out of strength in the fourth quarter, the giant panda could relay and take over his tasks at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. With the addition of the Clippers and Billups, Mr. Key also has the ability to take over the game. So even if the Rockets can survive the third quarter, in the fourth quarter, they can't continue to hold on.
Adelman quickly saw the Clippers' intentions, the fox turned on the offensive mode and defensive mode at the same time, the Clippers offensive end, the whole team created a scoring opportunity for Ji Guosha, and in just three minutes in the third quarter, this guy scored six points, forcing the Rockets to call a timeout.
The outbreak of Ji Guosha's offense, Adelman still has a way to deal with it. But the fox's double burst on the defensive end is where the Rockets find tricky.
"That kid is this time, don't you want to play in the fourth quarter?" Adelman is well-informed. Knowing that no player can give 100% energy on both ends of the floor at the same time, even if he is as strong as Jordan, he is attacking when he needs to attack, defending when he needs to defend, even if it is a two-pronged approach, it is a short burst. But looking at the strength of this dead fox, it is by no means a short period of time, he is going to fight like this for the whole section.
The Rockets soon began to rotate, replacing Scola with the more athletic David Lee, and the on-court lineup: Marbury, Ariza, Battier, David Lee, Yao Ming. The roster is more athletic, and Adelman wants them to withstand the Clippers' offense. In just a few minutes, the score has become 59:56, and the Rockets only scored two points in more than three minutes under the defense of the Clippers, which is too dangerous to go on.
After the game restarted, Adelman's change of formation had a slight effect, and it became difficult for Ji Guoyi to continue scoring under the targeted package of the Rockets, but the fox brother still hurt the Rockets with his breakthrough point.
Ji Guoyi is tall, his hands are long, after breaking through, he opened his hands and threw it out, with the help of telepathy, the passing error rate is very low, he only has one passing error in this game, which shows that the efficiency is very high.
Afflalo received a pass from outside the three-point line, missed a three-point shot, and the rebound was grabbed by Ji Guoqiu under the basket.
Yao Ming died on his ten-centimeter bounce this time, and after Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound, he raised his hand to shake Yao Ming, and easily buckled the basketball with both hands to the basket.
Rocket fans scolded Ji Guoqiu for grabbing rebounds and fouling, but the referee was unmoved, so Houston fans scolded the referee together. Seeing that the team fell behind 0:2, Houston fans, who have always been more civilized to watch the game, could not be calm, especially in the last game, when five of their players were sent off, the Clippers rose to the third hated team after the Jazz and Mavericks in the hearts of Rockets fans.
"The next time you break through, you rush towards Yao Ming and beat this guy down." Although Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound on Yao Ming's head this time, it was not easy for him to defend Yao Ming on the defensive end, once Yao Ming was down, they could really kill the Rockets in the third quarter.
"Okay, the next time I break through, I'll go to Yao Ming." Ji Guoyan thinks this is a good idea, and next time he must make Yao Ming foul. However, the two brothers didn't expect that it was not only the two of them who had this idea at this moment, Battier had already had this plan, the two brothers here were also guilty of three crimes, and Yao Ming was only two criminals, so it was too early to go down.
On the defensive end, Marbury got a hint from Battier, and the lone wolf used Yao Ming's cover to break through and rushed towards Ji Guoqiu, and the giant panda was suddenly startled!
"Be careful, don't foul!" Ji Guoyi understood, and the guy on the opposite side of the relationship paid the same attention as them.
Ji Guoqiu withered at the critical moment, he knew that he had committed three crimes, and he didn't dare to go all out to block Marbury's ball, and the lone wolf scored the ball with a wonderful layup, and the Toyota Center immediately resounded with a tsunami-like cheer!
"Go back to China!" There was a white-skinned pig shouting loudly, and as a result, Yao Ming's face was also very unhappy, didn't this Nima scold him together?
The Clippers attacked, Ji Guoyi continued to break through with the ball, and Ariza, who changed the defense, slightly delayed Ji Guoyi and forced the little fox to go outside, which gave Battier a chance to make up for the defense, and the Captain Rocket crossed in front of the fox brother in time, another foul.
"Your uncle, grandpa, I guessed it a long time ago, are you still here?" Ji Guosha is as cunning as a fox, how could he be fooled continuously? He had already kept an eye on this ball, braked in time, threw the basketball to the basket, and Garcia, who cut into the basket, received the basketball and poured the basketball into it with both hands.
Barkley laughed: "Haha, I can't believe that Garcia can play an aerial relay like this, and that's the benefit of playing in the Clippers, I think they can call it 'Air Relay City' because most of the players on this team can play an aerial relay."
Kenny. "Most of their players can dunk, and I think that's because they have a couple of passers who can make air passes, Billups, Panda, and now a fox," Smith said.
Ji Guoyi's offense was not fooled, Battier made several fouls in a row and failed, only half a quarter, the fox brother sent 10 points and 2 assists, such a state made the Rockets difficult to parry, 5 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 68:60, and the Clippers' lead was getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, Adelman must consider whether to continue to let Yao Ming stay on the court, not long ago Ji Guosha's goal was finally achieved, using the breakthrough to make a foul on the little giant, so that Yao Ming also became a third foul.
Scola warmed up on the sidelines, the Rockets attacked, Yao Ming covered his teammates off the ball at the free-throw line, and then received the basketball. Historically, the little giant would have given the ball to his teammate who ran out of the open space as soon as possible, and he was tall enough to safely hand the ball over at the free throw line. However, this time, Yao Ming made a choice that no one expected, he actually dribbled the ball at the free throw line and directly broke through Ji Guoqiu.
Ji Guoqiu also didn't expect Yao Ming to come to this hand, he was defenseless, and what's worse was that after he turned around, he subconsciously chased after the defense, wanting to risk Yao Ming's layup, but he underestimated Yao Ming's basic skills, and the little giant leaned on Ji Guoqiu with his back and easily scored the basketball.
"Toot!" The referee's whistle sounded, and Ji Guoqiu not only did not defend against this attack, but also paid the price for the fourth foul.
Yao Ming waved his hand fiercely, and then leaked a smug smile at Ji Guoqiu, "Sample, I finally cleaned you up now." ”
"Brother Yao did a good job, I'll top you." Ji Guoyan slapped his face beside him, which made Yao Ming very confused, and always felt that the dead fox should be scolding him.
Ji Guoqiu smiled bitterly, did not complain to the referee, walked to the sideline and slapped Little Jordan, encouraging him to show his kindness.
Adelman hesitated slightly and gave up his original plan to make a substitution, because he saw that the Clippers were replaced by Jordan Jr., and felt that there was an opportunity to continue to keep Yao Ming on the court.
Yao Ming saw that Little Jordan was also energetic, what he was not afraid of was Howard, a jumping man like Little Jordan, not to mention that Little Jordan's strength was far inferior to Warcraft, and it was easier to deal with in Yao Ming's opinion.
The Rockets coach and core are not wrong at all, Jordan Jr. fully shows that he only has a weakness in athleticism. On a big stage like the playoffs, Jordan Jr.'s performance against the Thunder is all an illusion, Yao Ming scored five points on Jordan Jr. and two fouls in one minute, which is his true level. The Rockets also finally equalized after Yao Ming scored eight points in a row.
At 2 minutes and 15 seconds in the third quarter, the score was 68:68, and the two teams were tied.
Ji Guoqiu had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guoqiu had 30 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, Billups had 12 points and 3 assists, and Crawford had 6 points.
Yao Ming had 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, Marbury had 10 points and 8 assists, Scola had 4 points and 3 rebounds, David Lee had 10 points and 6 rebounds, Battier had 6 points and Ariza had 5 points.
Ji Guoyi has been playing until now, panting on the court like Yao Ming, and feeling that all his efforts in this section have been wasted, and little Jordan is simply a pig teammate.
Little Jordan is really not good today, but this is his true level, and then not only Ji Guosha secretly scolded Little Jordan for being a waste, but even Clippers fans couldn't bear it, because this guy was turned around like a piece of wood by Yao Ming, so that Ji Guosha could only fill the position, and as a result, Yao Ming made a foul, and now he and Brother Panda were the same, and the brothers all committed four crimes.
