Chapter 479 [Iron-Blooded Jumper, Yao Shark Duel]

At the end of the timeout, the Heat switched to a hybrid defense, with O'Neal guarding the restricted area from the baseline and a four-man rotation on the perimeter to interfere with shots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Stan Van Gundy's arrangement would have prevented O'Neal from aligning with Kobe Bryant and allowed him to focus more on the offensive end.

The Heat attacked, O'Neal went to the right side of the low post to ask for the ball, leaned on Yao Ming's back to arch inside, attracted Kobe Bryant to retreat to the bag, and passed the ball to Wade on the periphery. Wade took a step inside the three-point line on the right side and made an open jumper. 14 to 6.

Wade can't shoot three points, and the mid-range shot is still alive, but it's not stable enough.

The Lakers attacked, Eddie Jones continued to focus on Kobe Bryant, and the other three stood up without followers.

Jones defends hard and is eager to prove himself, he was once known as the "Pippen's successor", but he didn't do well in the second place on all three teams, and as soon as there was a new core on the outside, he was the first to be traded away, and now he is about to leave the team, which is ironic enough.

The defender in the middle was the veteran Payton, and Yao Ming faced him as soon as he pulled out, and asked for the ball with his back near the free throw line.

Kobe Bryant really wants to go head-to-head and strive for high scores, but Eddie Jones is a regular on the All-Defensive Team, and it is not a good choice to go head-to-head, looking for Yao Ming to block and dismantle, Payton and Wade are also doing a good job of interfering with outside shots.

Wade, a second-year rookie, has already impressed last season's defense, with his blistering speed, rarely getting passed, active defense, and multiple shots blocked inside after misalignment.

Yang Rui arranged the tactics very clearly, if O'Neal didn't come out on the bottom line, he would hand the ball to Yao Ming to shoot in a misplaced position.

Kobe Bryant chose to pass, he already understands Yang Rui's character, if he doesn't play according to tactics, he will really be replaced, Yang Rui doesn't have so much nonsense, and the Lakers also have newcomers who can be cultivated.

If Yang Rui replaced Kobe Bryant early, it would be Kobe Bryant who was unlucky.

Everyone, there are too many things that are powerless to change, drilling the horns of the bull will only increase the troubles, sometimes life is more patient than whom, who compromises first. Yang Rui has proven himself in Los Angeles, and Kobe Bryant has just crawled out of the pit of the "Eagle County Incident", he dare not listen to Yang Rui, paranoia does not mean brain damage.

Yao Ming received the ball in the middle and hit Payton, who hit 193CM in a misplaced position, dribbled with his back, and turned to the right near the free throw line to shoot the basketball.

Yao Ming's turn was extremely smooth, and a small backlash was added, the defender could not block, and Wade was a step slower to make up for the defense.

16 to 6, Yao Ming's personal 5th point.

The Heat attacked, O'Neal took the ball in the low post and was caught by Yao Ming and Kobe, one person defended and the other pulled the ball.

O'Neal passed the ball and Wade, who was cleared, caught the ball and threw it wide, this time deflecting it wide of the basket. Wade's mid-range shot is 45 degrees to hit the board accurately, and other positions have to be practiced.

Yao Ming got the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to the point guard to drop the position.

Damon Jones took the ball to the front court and passed directly to Yao Ming, who asked for the ball with his back in the middle, O'Neal was still on the bottom line, Yao Ming turned around on the right side with his back against Payton, ignored the defense in the horn position, and hit another shot in the middle.

18 to 6, 7th personal point.

Barkley smiled: "The Heat's joint defense tactics failed, O'Neal guarded the box on the baseline, but the Lakers players didn't need to enter the box at all, and the two big men could shoot on the perimeter." ā€

Smith said: "To defend the Lakers, you have to have a big man on the inside, you can guard out, and the guard has to play blocking again, they always have a way to create misplaced offensive opportunities, and Yao Ming's size can block people very well." ā€

The Heat attacked, O'Neal also pulled out to cover and helped Eddie Jones get rid of Iguodala, who received a pass from Payton, and the right side missed a three-point jumper under Damon Jones' interference, and Yao Ming easily won the rebound.

The Lakers' joint defense had a noticeable effect, because O'Neal pulled out to cover and could only cut in the air and did not make a mid-range shot. Yao Ming doesn't have to worry about him scoring a jump shot in front of a defender, just stay in the penalty area and wait for him to cut.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant still handed the ball to Yao Ming, and the players pulled away. If O'Neal defends and goes to the free throw line to trap Yao Ming, Iguodala can easily score by cutting to the basket and catching the ball.

O'Neal played in strict accordance with the coach's arrangement, managed the bottom line, did not go out, and the person who defended Yao Ming in the middle was replaced by Wade.

Yao Ming still made the same action just now, turning to the right side and throwing a backward jumper, Wade couldn't cover it with all his strength. The 193CM Wade has an amazing bounce, but it takes time to jump to the top point, and Yao Ming shoots much faster.

He felt very well today, there was little defensive pressure and the ball went in again. 20 to 6, 9th personal point.

When returning to the defense, Yao Ming clenched his fists and roared angrily, attracting applause from the fans.

Actually, Yao Ming is a little embarrassed at the moment. He rarely yells on the court, and when he wants to yell, he just yells after a beautiful dunk, and he just yells on a jumper, and he blushes a little. However, Yang Rui specifically instructed him to do this when he scored more points before the game, because it would stimulate O'Neill more and disturb the opponent's mentality.

O'Neill didn't come out, and Yao Ming had to resolutely take on the heavy responsibility of attacking.

Yao Ming has this ability, in Yang Rui's previous life, because Yao Ming played the low post too many times in the Rockets, many people thought that he was only good at turning around and jumping from the bottom line. In fact, when he was in the CBA, Yao Ming made a lot of shots in the middle and on both sides. When he first arrived at the Rockets, when Tang Shuai was coaching, he also played mainly in the middle. He could turn to the right side and jump like Ewing did, and just switch positions.

Yao Ming has a strong desire to score today, he has long wanted to challenge O'Neal, and he has been waiting for two years!

Stan Van Gundy had just called a timeout, but he still couldn't prevent it, and he was very helpless.

Barkley lamented: "Yao Ming's performance was incredible, with four shots and a three-pointer, which reminds me of his game against the Knicks, and today maybe he's going to explode." ā€

Smith said: "In the 1997-98 season, when the Knicks played against the Lakers, they used this way to defend O'Neal, and Ewing had good statistics in both games, and O'Neal's offensive efficiency declined. ā€

Barkley smiled: "Speaking of the Knicks, Larry Brown is still in a lawsuit with the Knicks to ask for salary, judging from Yao Ming's performance, the Knicks really shouldn't give Brown a salary." Yao Ming will definitely win the Most Improved Player award this season, and can even compete with O'Neal for the best team for a while, it's hard to imagine that such a super center will be used by Brown as a fringe man. ā€

O'Neill is getting more and more impatient, if Yao Ming plays beautiful data, fans will definitely compare him, thinking that he is not worthy of his name, he must be more beautiful than Yao Ming, at least mutual explosion to keep the name of the first center.

O'Neal gave up blocking and dismantling, went to the low post to ask for the ball, squeezed it sharply, Kobe Bryant came to wrap it, O'Neal quickly turned to the bottom line, and threw his right hand. The score is behind, and there are still people in the bag, O'Neal is too eager to shoot, and he forgot that it is not good to beat Yao Ming like this.

Yao Ming judged correctly, jumped almost with O'Neal, covered the ball with his left hand, and Kobe Bryant picked up the basketball and passed it to Damon Jones to drop the position.

After the ball was passed, Kobe Bryant also smiled and applauded Yao Ming twice on the court, which made O'Neal want to come up and hit him.

Kobe Bryant figured it out, no matter how many points he scored, people also knew that the main defenders against him were Eddie Jones and Wade, and it was difficult to calculate this account on O'Neal's head, at most he performed better than O'Neal.

Yao Ming's high score is different, the pre-game news publicized the "Yao Shark Showdown", Yao Ming's data exploded O'Neal's words, and the fat man was undoubtedly more humiliating.

Thinking of this, Kobe Bryant decided to pass more balls to Yao Ming and help him get better data, so that the fat man couldn't eat and walked around.
