Chapter 490: No One Has Ever Done It
The Rockets added outside shooting on the offensive end in the second half, and Adelman deployed a strategy to strengthen the outside offense at halftime, and Yao Ming used his height to grab a lot of frontcourt rebounds even if he couldn't catch the basketball. β³ Top Novel, x.
Yao Ming's rebounding has always been so-so, and with his height, it is not difficult to get an average of more than a dozen rebounds per game. But grabbing rebounds is really not just about height, and reflexes are also very important, which Yao Ming's huge body makes him often unable to grab the first landing point, coupled with small hands, and often tragically snatches the basketball from his hands. However, Yao Ming has a great grasp of the rebounding ball that bounces in his direction, who calls him high, he can basically win the basketball without jumping, so although Yao Ming's rebounding is not particularly good, it is certainly not bad.
Ji continued to use the front wrap on the defensive end, which was very draining on his body and lost the protection of the backcourt rebound, but the Clippers thought it was at least better than letting Yao Ming score consecutive goals. Old Dunleavy instructed that the defense around the front can be canceled if it continues until the middle of the third quarter, and Yao Ming must have no strength at this time, so there is no need to continue to go around, just wrap him.
Marbury played a pick-and-roll with Scola on the outside, burst to the free throw line and immediately made a jumper, and the basketball smashed out of the basket.
Yao Ming was under the basket at the moment, Ji Guoqiu was in pain at this time, the two positions were reversed, and he was stuck behind.
Ji Guoyi came in from the outside, and today the Clippers relied on him to protect the backcourt rebound, but Yao Ming occupied a favorable position for this ball, and the little giant raised his hands to catch the basketball, and immediately made up the basketball in situ into the basket, at this time the little fox's cover had just arrived, and a slap slapped Yao Ming's wrist.
"Oops, he hit me." Ji Guoyan was shocked in his heart. I know it's going to be over. One is in a hurry. Quickly clasped his wrists and shouted at the referee.
The referee said: "You TM treat me as a fool, you block others, can you still be beaten?" β
Yao Ming smiled and touched Ji Guo's dog head, the dead fox was furious, he hated being messed up with his hairstyle the most, and he felt that he should hurry up and fall to the ground directly, maybe he could make Yao Ming out.
"You've fouled three times, and I've done it three times. Yao Ming is also three times, who do you think will go down first? Ji Guoqiu watched Yao Ming make free throws, and began to chat with the dead fox opposite in Chinese.
"I think it's Yao Ming, I'll break through him next time." Ji Guo looked at Yao Ming with a smile.
Yao Ming was furious, these two brothers were so shameless, the little giant was angry, and the punishment was decisively missed, and he secretly scolded a tomato.
Ji Guoyi said that if he breaks through Yao Ming, he will really dribble and break through in the next attack. Yao Ming's heart hurts, and he is still affected by the two of them. didn't dare to push too hard when blocking, but Ji Guoyan didn't make a layup by himself. threw the basketball from the right side of the basket to the left side, and assisted Ji Guoqiu to dunk again.
Yao Ming knew that this was not the way, he was hindered by the number of fouls, and he did not dare to do his best on the defensive end, his teammates must support themselves, otherwise these two cunning animals would be difficult to resist, and if they continued to play like this, the rocket would be easily taken away by a wave.
The Rockets attacked, Marbury wanted to shoot, Billups would rather let him break through than let him continue to shoot, the Rockets outside players broke inside, but the threat to them was not great, and there were two guards in the Clippers restricted area, and it was difficult for offensive players to get good shooting space. But in the outside shot, once the shot misses, Yao Ming is easy to grab the rebound and score the ball twice.
There was an interesting scene in the game, usually the team would not let go of the shot, but today the Clippers did the opposite.
Jeff. Van Gundy smiled: "Adelman has a good result in his first season in charge of the Rockets, Houston successfully entered the second round of the playoffs under the leadership of Yao Ming, but now they are facing the defending champions, I think it will be difficult for them to go further from the Clippers, Yao Ming's health is the first priority of the Rockets, the high-intensity games in the playoffs, even players with excellent physical conditions are prone to injury, Yao Ming needs to pay extra attention." β
Yao Ming competed for the position with Ji Guoqiu on the inside, in this case, the defenders are more likely to foul, especially the Giant Panda is at an absolute disadvantage, but today's referee's penalty scale is still more biased towards the Clippers, so many of Ji Guoqiu's suspected foul actions have not been blown off.
However, the Rockets and Yao Ming have gradually adapted to such penalties, and in the last round against the Trail Blazers, the opponent's defense was much more excessive than Ji Guoqiu's, and the referee rarely blew penalties. They may think that Yao Ming, a big man, should have such a confrontation, who knows.
Scola looked at Ji Guoyi, who kept a certain distance from him at the free throw line and was ready to wrap Yao Ming at any time, hesitated, did not pass, and shot directly by himself.
"Rub, you're passing the ball! How do I steal without passing? Ji Guoyi hurriedly stepped forward to block, this ball Scola did not hit, but the basketball was grabbed by Yao Ming again, and the little giant easily blocked Ji Guoqiu with his body and made up for the basketball board.
Ji's biggest goal now is not to win, and when he found out that he had a chance to get a quadruple-double, he had already focused on it. His character is like this, while winning is important, a quadruple-double is even more important, so the Clippers offense, now they will give him the ball and let him handle it.
Billups's personality is just the opposite, but he knows that at this time, even old Dunleavy can't stop Ji Guoyi from scoring **, these two brothers are the core of the team, only Brother Panda can stop the little fox, and others can't make Ji Guoyi change his decision at all.
Of course, Ji Guoqiu wants to help half of himself, which is nothing to say, so Ji Guoqiu turned into the neighbor's No. 24 in the second half and firmly controlled the ball in his own hands.
Adelman quickly discovered Ji Guoyi's plan, and at 7 minutes and 20 seconds in the third quarter, when Ji Guozhi broke through again and got his fifth assist, not only the Rockets players and coaches, but also many fans knew his plan. However, at this time, no one said anything selfish or anything, Ji Guoyi's choice is not a problem, except for a few players like Duncan, everyone will definitely put the number of individuals first in the face of the temptation of four pairs.
The score was 62-54, and the Rockets trailed by eight points.
Adelman called a timeout, and he decided to shift the defensive center to the fox brother if he could make the guy less efficient. That's an opportunity to catch up with the difference. Normal. The Clippers scored a lot of points. Once you wrap up which player, more others will leak out. But now the situation is different, Ji Guozhi has made it clear that he will not hand over the basketball lightly, so he can rest assured that he will be clamped.
After the game restarted, Ji Guoyi found that as long as the Rockets received the ball by themselves, they would immediately be double-packed. But something happened that made Adelman's egg hurt, and Ji Guoyi turned into a giant panda and made two good balls in a row after attracting the pinch. And the targets are all giant pandas, and they easily get two assists.
"Silly fork, who said I was going to score? It's enough for Lao Tzu to score in double digits, and now it's assists, rebounds, and steals. Ji Guosha swiped two assists, and he was in a happy mood, but his assists were not enough, and the Rockets' bag was really timely.
The Rockets players didn't know what was going on, and the coach didn't say anything anyway, so they continued to wrap up. So Ji Guosha played almost the third quarter, and was replaced in the last two minutes. He also brushed his personal count to 12 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 7 steals in this quarter, a nearly quadruple-double.
"Coach. I'm okay with my body, and I can go directly to the fourth section. Ji Guosha waved his hand at the home team fans after leaving the game, and said directly to the old Dunleavy.
"Me too!" Of course, Ji Guoqiu had to go up together to help him brush up the numbers.
Old Dunleavy nodded, almost kowtowed twice, and agreed-"chirp".
In the third quarter, Ji Guoqiu's style of play was very similar to James, when he was caught by the Rockets player, his long arms were raised to the sky, and then used Ji Guoqiu's sight to find a passing target, unless the Rockets quickly cut off his basketball, otherwise the little fox could transfer the basketball to the hands of the vacant player. It is this style of play that Ji Guoyi handed out 5 assists in the third quarter, and the first quadruple-double in the history of the playoffs is not far from him.
"There are still three steals left, damn it, the number of steals is not easy to take, we still have to find a way from Yao Ming, I think we need to cover him." Yao Ming didn't know at this time that Ji Guoyan had already targeted him, and it seemed that in addition to this move, the little fox couldn't think of how to get three steals in a single quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 76-66, and the Clippers won by two more points in this quarter.
Ji Guoqiu got 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals, Ji Guoqiu got 12 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 7 steals, Billups had 18 points and 3 assists, and Crawford had 8 points.
Yao Ming had 16 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Marbury 12 points and 5 assists, Scola 8 points and 4 rebounds, Brooks 5 points and 3 assists, David. Lee had 6 points and 5 rebounds, Battier had 5 points, Ariza had 6 points and Weaver had 5 points.
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets came off the bench to point guard Kyle. Lowry came on and used his pace and strength to cause a defensive foul on Dragic and hit both free throws.
Adelman didn't switch to Brooks in the fourth quarter, and Little Black Bean didn't have a good performance today, scoring just 3 points on 1-of-6 shooting and three turnovers. The Rockets traded their third point guard Kyle in the fourth quarter. Lowry, unexpectedly, the little fat man's breakthrough made Dragic very passive, and Lowry scored 4 points in a row in the fourth quarter to narrow the score gap to 6 points.
Old Dunleavy didn't call a timeout, Lowry scored four points in a row to play the state, and the third offense still dribbled to break through, but this time he was premeditated Ji Guoshame and broke the ball, the little fox was waiting for this moment, after breaking the ball and Dragic reacted fast, the little fox did not slam the dunk by himself, and finally handed the basketball to Dragic and got an assist.
Charles. Barkley laughed: "Haha, look at that guy, he doesn't dunk when no one defends him, he's going to get four doubles, he's really a greedy guy." β
Kenny. "No one in NBA history has ever had a quadruple double-double in the playoffs, Olajuwon and Duncan have had a quasi-quadruple-double jΓΉ, but no one has ever done a real quadruple-double, and now this little fox wants to be the first to do that, and he's got 12 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks, 8 steals, and the rebounds and assists are easy, but he's still two steals, which isn't easy to do," Smith said. β
The little fox also knew that the number of steals was not easy to take, and he had already shouted in his heart: "Hurry up and go to Yao Ming!" (To be continued......) R640
