Chapter 641 I know the Rockets too well!
I saw Yao Ming speeding up his breakthrough, his tall body looked brisk, he strode his long legs, and before Speights came to defend, Yao Ming had already jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and dunked towards the basket. down.
Bang!
A loud noise detonated the audience.
The home fans in the auditorium all screamed and cheered excitedly.
Rockets fans are full of expectations for Yao Ming's comeback, but no one thought that Yao Ming would score his first goal after his comeback in such a way.
Breakthrough dunk, is this still the same Yao Ming?
"After losing weight, Brother Ming's speed and jumping have improved a lot." Qin Hao's eyes lit up, a little surprised, more surprised.
This proves that his advice to Yao Ming is correct. In the past, Yao Ming was too heavy. Although he was very dominant at the basket, he was too useless to play and put a heavy burden on his body.
It's noticeably lighter now.
"Hawes, be more defensive." Coach Collins frowned and yelled at the field. This different Yao Ming caught him off guard.
"Oh." Hawes nodded in agreement.
The 76ers fought back.
This time, Holiday used the pick-and-roll to break through, and Yao Ming appeared in front of him as soon as he got rid of the defender. After losing weight, Yao Ming's speed has improved a lot, and his defense is also faster.
Facing Yao Ming, Holiday hesitated for a while, and finally gave up singles. Yao Ming is too tall, and it is not easy to score the ball against him.
Holiday scored the ball and passed it to Iguodala. Iguodala made a sudden point and passed it to Brand, who was in an air cut. Brand caught the ball and was about to layup, but a hand stretched out.
"Not good." Brand's heart skipped a beat, and he hastened to move faster.
But still got hit a little bit.
Yao Ming's height is too high, and with his wingspan, the deterrence of the "Great Wall of China" is no joke. Brand's layup was interfered by Yao Ming, and his fingertips touched the basketball.
The layup went nowhere, Scola stuck Speights behind him, grabbed the rebound with both hands and passed it to Lowry, and the Rockets countered.
"It seems that after Yao loses weight, there are still great benefits." Rockets assistant coach Wood said with a smile.
Although it took less than a minute to play, Yao Ming's offense and defense were impressive.
However, the head coach Adelman shook his head slightly, saying: "Confrontation and moving speed, this is a trade-off, each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
After Yao Ming loses weight, his movement speed and agility have also improved, but his confrontation ability will decrease. That is to say, the 76ers do not have an outstanding inside line.
You know, Yao Ming beat Howard before.
But at that time, Yao Ming was still in weight, and his confrontation ability was still there. Now that his confrontation ability has declined after losing weight, he may not be able to support Howard in the low position.
In fact, not to mention being against Howard, it is not so easy to be against Hawes.
Two rounds later, Yao Ming took the ball in the low post and tried to single-up Hawes. Hawes puffed up his chest and pressed against Yao Ming's back. Yao Ming pushed back twice, but did not push much.
"Sure enough." Yao Ming sighed secretly, not surprised.
Losing weight means that the ability to fight is reduced. His confrontation is piled up by weight, and when he loses weight, the confrontation will also go down.
Although Yao Ming learned from Garnett and took a leaner route, he was no better than Garnett after all. At this time, it was not easy to play Hawes with his back.
If you change to the past - Soeasy!
But being immovable doesn't mean Yao Ming can't score. He's not the kind of "beastist" center. He is definitely one of the most skilled centers among these centers today.
I saw Yao Ming pushed back, then turned around halfway, grabbed the basketball with one hand in his right hand, and made a big hook. Hawes couldn't help it at all.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
"What else can I do?" Hawes turned his head and looked at Coach Collins aggrieved.
Coach Collins could only shake his head, no one would be able to block this kind of hook.
Of course, the hook is also very difficult. Many players in the NBA, not limited to centers, have learned the hook. Many of them went directly to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to teach them in person.It's a pity that very few can learn it and use it well, and Yao Ming is one of the best.
In the next few rounds, Yao Ming did not play too many individual singles, but more often pulled outside to set up pick-and-rolls for his teammates. In Yao Ming's absence this year, the Rockets' scoring pillar was Kevin Martin.
Last season, Martin averaged 19.8 points per game when he was still with the Kings. Later, he was sent to the Rockets in the McGrady trade, averaging 21.3 points per game.
By this season, he averaged 23.5 points per game and became the Rockets' top scorer.
However, before Yao Ming did not support the pick-and-roll, did not contain the defense, and protected the rebound. Now that Yao Ming is doing these things, Martin is more relaxed on the offensive end.
"Pick and roll."
Martin made a gesture, and Yao Ming stepped forward to pick and roll. Martin took the opportunity to get rid of it, then turned his head to look at Yao Ming, pretending to pass back to Yao Ming, confusing the defenders, but actually grabbed the ball and rushed inside for a layup.
Scored another two points.
At this time, the first quarter played for 5 minutes, the score was 13:8, and the Rockets led by 5 points.
"Request a timeout." Coach Collins called a timeout.
In the past few minutes, Yao Ming scored 4 points, Martin scored 5 points, and other players scored a total of 4 points. They played a lot and suppressed the 76ers.
Especially inside, the 76ers lost too many rebounds.
"Qin." Coach Collins shouted: "You go up, replace Holiday." Then he spread out the tactical board, "Wait for Qin to defend Martin, Hawes goes down, Batty goes up. Batty, you go with Stay close to Yao Ming, give him physical confrontation, his physical confrontation is not as good as before."
"Yes." Barty agreed.
The pause ends soon.
The game continued, Qin Hao came to the field, and there was a commotion in the audience.
The Chinese Derby finally started.
This is what fans have been waiting for.
Qin Hao took the ball in the backcourt, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, glanced at the situation on the court, and then asked for a pick-and-roll, taking the opportunity to get rid of the defender, and at the same time gave Brand a look.
The next moment, Qin Hao came to the right side, Yao Ming stepped forward to delay, Qin Hao suddenly took a step back, Yao Ming subconsciously jumped up to block the shot, but Qin Hao passed the ball instead of shooting.
"not good."
Seeing Qin Hao passing the ball, Yao Ming yelled badly, turned around quickly, and saw that the inside line was empty, Scola was pulled to the other side by Speights, and Speights also set a cover for Brand, and Bron Rand took the opportunity to make an air cut, just in time to receive a pass from Qin Hao, and when he pulled it up, it was a dunk.
Bang!
Brand landed, ran towards Qin Hao, and high-fived Qin Hao.
Qin Hao chuckled and looked at the Rockets players. He was very familiar with the Rockets, more than any other team. Yao Ming even told him about the Rockets’ internal tactics—of course, that was in his previous life. By that time Yao Ming had already retired, so it didn't matter if he said it.
At that time, Qin Hao was only a CBA player, and he yearned for the NBA. He listened carefully, but he didn't expect that he would be able to use it against the Rockets now.
