Chapter 488: The fox is tired of becoming a dog
Billups won't fight Marbury for the whole game, he's a point guard who really controls the whole game, advocates offensive efficiency, and plays with reason. Marbury, on the other hand, is more offensive, using himself to attract opponents to help defend and then pass the ball to teammates. Although the two have similar skills and figures, their playing styles are very different.
In the second quarter, the Clippers returned to their essence and began to focus on the interior. The two brothers rested for three minutes in the first quarter, and Dunleavy Sr. replaced the two directly in the second quarter, hoping to take advantage of the time difference in Yao Ming's absence and use his advantage to hit the Rockets' interior line.
Adelman had already guessed the old Dunleavy's plan, and in the second quarter, he replaced the substitute interior combination of Mutombo and David Lee, don't look at the age of the African mountains in recent years, but what you see on the court is not your age, but your competitive state. Fans and the media like to tease Mutombo's age, but that has nothing to do with the table on the field, the better Uncle Mu behaves in the game, the more people like to mention his age.
Jumping, purely relying on his height and reach, coupled with more than 40 years of playing experience, can easily grasp the rebounding ball in his own hands.
As soon as Ji Guoqiu came on the court, he found that the ability of this Mutombo card position was no worse than him, you know, he relied on the bonus of telepathy, if he couldn't take advantage, it could only mean that he was not Mutombo's opponent in rebounding?
"It's really a dog, does this guy have the ability to suck the rebound ball in his hand, why can't he just grab him?" The second quarter opened for three minutes. Mutombo grabbed three backcourt rebounds. No matter how Ji Guoqiu fights. I just can't grab even a single frontcourt rebound from the hands of the barrel man in his forties.
"I used to watch the Rockets game, and I always felt that if Mutombo was younger, he would definitely be better than Howard, even if this guy is in his forties, his defensive deterrence on the inside is still very strong." The two brothers liked to watch Mutombo play in their previous lives, and the efficiency of African Dashan on the field was simply against the sky, and they played as a substitute for Yao Ming. I can actually get 20+ rebounds. Looking at it this way, Yao Ming's rebounding ability is compared with Uncle Mu, it is simply scummy!
However, although Mutombo can easily grab a bunch of rebounds without jumping at the moment, and can shake his exclusive finger once per game, it is difficult for him to keep up with his panda brother, who is always active on the outside, and speed is not something that experience can make up for.
Although Ji Guoqiu didn't dare to attack Mutombo on the inside, he could use the same method as Yao Ming to pull out and fly a kite, and Mutombo really had nothing to do with him at this time.
Sometimes when you think about it, Mutombo was born at a time when the big four were prevalent. Coupled with O'Neal, the era of the first center, it was too late for him to learn basketball. If only he were in the same era as Howard. Many interior lines may not be as chic as they are now, and the title of the best defensive player in the African mountains may be soft, teaching Noah and Jordan Jr. to be human in minutes, and their fingers may be gone.
Ji Guoqiu used his footwork advantage to hit mid- and long-range shots in a row, and Mutombo was helpless against such a bullying style of play, and even directly used a big killer when he was scrambling for a rebound, and he took an elbow sideways, planning to teach the giant panda how to behave.
"Damn, this trick is amazing!" Ji Guoqiu was shocked, there were too many unlucky people on the rivers and lakes who fell under the iron elbow of the African mountains, and they couldn't be counted, such as Robert. Parish, Webb, Jordan, Barkley, Rodman, Kevin. Willis, White Chocolate, Camby, Big Mom, Ewing, Billups, Margetty, Ray Allen, Carter, Yao Ming, Kenyon. Martin, James, Maddie
Mutombo's long list of "elbow-dead souls" is shocking, and Ji Guoqiu doesn't want to be knocked out like Billups. That's right, do you think Mr. Key's open-minded front teeth are innate? That's wrong, that's exactly what Uncle Mu did, this guy either elbowed people out of the concussion when he was young, or knocked out other people's front teeth, and at worst attacked your throat, what Los Angeles iron elbow and Keshen iron elbow, these are not enough in front of Mutombo.
Do you Kobe Bryant dare to elbow Jordan? Elbow Barkley? Dare to mess with Rodman? These Uncle Mu have all done it, and they will see blood when they make a move, they are really the supreme "elbow forest", which can be called the first elbow in the world!
Ji Guoqiu flashed faster than these guys, and Mutombo, who was once terrifying, was also old, so this elbow was waved in the air. But the referee didn't turn a blind eye, and even if the malicious elbow swing didn't hit anyone, the referee still blew the whistle and gave Mutombo a technical foul as a warning.
"It's so dangerous, I almost knocked out my front teeth!" Before Brother Panda made a free throw, he deliberately said this in front of the referee, hoping to make the referee pay attention to this guy who can shake his fingers, in addition to shaking his fingers, he can also elbow people.
Ji Guoqiu hit a free throw, and then it was still the Clippers who had the ball, and this time Brother Panda unexpectedly drew Mutombo out and immediately dribbled through. Although his breakthrough ability is much worse than Ji Guoyi, it is still enough to deal with Mutombo, who is in his forties, and he hit the basket in front of David Lee, who assisted in defense, and scored the blue ball in a chic manner.
David. Lee was hugely useful in the first round, and he even started in place of Scola in two games. Cal. After Landry left, the competition for the Rockets' No. 4 position became more intense. Lee has mid-range shooting, good adaptability, and can play a dozen under the basket, plus excellent rebounding, which is very much in line with Adelman's requirements.
Of course, the player Adelman dreamed of was Ji Guoqiu, and his Princeton system would definitely be able to recreate the glory of the king's time if he had a panda brother. If the Clippers were to be coached by him, Adelman would be sure to create a dynasty that would be stronger than the Bulls, and he would be one of the most jealous head coaches of Dunleavy Sr.
Adelman's biggest hope now is that Dunleavy Sr. will be fired by the Clippers soon, and he will be the first to deliver a cover letter.
Think about it, how long did it take him to find a Webb, but Brother Panda is a superstar who is far more suitable for the Princeton system than Weber, and there is a little fox behind the butt, the Princeton system in addition to requiring the center to organize, the second is to emphasize running without the ball, running back, must move.
The style of play of these two twin brothers is simply born for Princeton, but what kind of bullshit twin towers does old Dunleavy play, it is simply a tyrannical thing! The Clippers could have played the best game in NBA history, not the twin towers.
The Rocket coach was in YY, Ji Guoyi really came to a reverse run, the giant panda sent the basketball to the basket at the free throw line, and the two brothers had a wonderful aerial relay cooperation.
Adelman sat on the sidelines and couldn't help but applaud when he saw this, how similar is this to the shot of Artest applauding the Clippers in the last round?
Yao Ming had a four-minute break in the second quarter and was replaced by Adelman, although Mutombo had a good rebounding and grabbed four backcourt rebounds in just four minutes, but they needed to attack more, which Mutombo couldn't do.
At 8:03 in the second quarter, with a score of 38:31, the Clippers used their strong interior offensive firepower to lead the Rockets by 7 points.
Today, Staples fell into a sea of hot white, and the fans wore cultural shirts given by the Clippers, they were not like the Lakers, the front row fans were full of flowers, and today even Leonardo, Brad. Pete and Tom. Cruise and others are wearing cheap white jerseys from the Clippers, especially Xiao Lizi's big belly is clearly visible against the rather tight jersey.
As soon as Yao Ming came up, Ji Guoqiu continued to defend around the front, he kept going around the front to defend the little giant, and unlike the pioneers, he had to wait for Yao Ming to score a few goals before starting to go around. As long as Yao Ming is present in front of the Clippers, it will be executed non-stop. And not only Ji Guoqiu is around the front defense, as long as there is an opportunity, other players of the Clippers must immediately wrap up, even if they let other players of the Rockets score.
This kind of defense makes the little giant very wolf, not to mention Yao Ming, even if the peak O'Neal meets the interior combination of the best defense, it may be difficult to make a difference, so Yao Ming only scored 4 points in the first quarter and made 2 mistakes, it should not be ashamed, and Yao Mi in China comforted herself like this.
On the offensive end of the rocket, Yao Ming continued to be stuck in front of Ji Guoqiu after he fell into position. Li received a pass at the free throw line and immediately wound the basketball from the middle to the inside, Yao Ming finally received the basketball this time, and he could shoot directly, Ji Guoqiu was helpless.
This is Adelman for David. Lee's purpose, Ji Guoqiu's height and arm span made the Rockets' frontal pass difficult, so he could only pass the ball to Yao Ming through a roundabout method on both sides. Scola can actually do this task, but Adelman clearly prefers David. Lee, and thinks his mid-range shots are more accurate and can open up more space, allowing Yao Ming to be less packed.
However, Scola's position will not be shaken for the time being, and the low footsteps of diamonds are David. Li Wangchen can't reach, in general, the two No. 4 positions of the Rockets have their own strengths, and they are both qualified main players. If there's one weakness to Scola, it's that he's older and doesn't have as much potential as David. Plum.
David today. Lee's mid-range and strategy did make the Clippers feel in trouble, and Dunleavy Sr. immediately called a timeout after Yao Ming received two consecutive free throws from David Lee to score easily.
"Fox, your footwork should be enough to cover the free throw line and the two low posts, Yao Ming only needs to catch the basketball, or once David Lee passes, I want you to go up and cover it immediately." Old Dunleavy This is completely to make Ji Guo ashamed to defend against two, this seems to be the easiest way, those who can work harder.
Ji Guo scolded secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that the second and third positions can also be sandwiched, for Mao to make Lao Tzu like a monkey being played back and forth?
Although he was unhappy, Ji Guoyi still completed the arrangement of the old Dunleavy, his feet can indeed run back and forth between the free throw line and the low post, but it is certain to be tired of becoming a dog, and he will focus entirely on defense, which will definitely affect his offensive efficiency.
The elder Dunleavy is not worried about this, the Clippers can have enough players to attack, in addition to Ji Guoyi, they also have Billups, Crawford and Ji Guoqiu. (To be continued......) R1071
