Chapter 280
The attack from Philadelphia's side went to Rayong at the top of the arc.
Witherspoon and Jim Jackson were very particular about their positioning, the two of them stood on the left and the right, and put on a posture of closing the door at any time, forcing Rayong to move in the direction of the two sidelines.
Once they go from the middle lane, the two will be encircled as soon as they close the door, which is what the Rockets want to see.
But Rayong still chose a straight break in the middle, he was right, Jim Jackson really didn't dare to lose Ragabel in his direction, he was really a fake trick.
Jim Jackson's side is not moving, and Da Yao in there is about to move, Da Yao is already standing on the outside of the penalty area with one foot, and he is waiting for the other party to come in.
The fans at the scene were already on their feet.
Will Smith, the small boss on the sidelines, held his daughter high in his hand, directly filling the atmosphere of the scene.
Crowd friends, audience friends, Rayong has already entered the front of the penalty area with the ball, and he has successfully stuck Witherspoon behind him.
Now facing Da Yao's defense, as the last barrier of the Rockets' defense, Da Yao always gives people an unusually down-to-earth feeling, the Rockets have experienced the turmoil of the change of coach Da Yao has been given more missions on the defensive end, and dealing with this kind of misplaced small forward is also one of his jobs tonight.
Da Yao, who has scored 26 points so far, has one hand stuck in front of Rayong, and the other hand is placed on the opponent's waist.
Luo Yong's center of gravity was pressed very low, he didn't blindly squeeze in, he still took two steps to the outside first, trying to attract Da Yao's center of gravity.
But Da Yao is still very alert, his body is moving, his feet just don't leave the ground, he just doesn't follow out, and he is holding on to his own little world.
Xu Jicheng: Don't be fooled, don't be fooled.
Coach Zhang: It's easy to do if you don't be fooled, continue to move to the side, as long as Da Yao always keeps his feet on the ground, then go directly to the rebound, and hit the opponent by surprise.
Director Zhang was really right this time, Luo Yong moved two steps to the side and then suddenly made a short posture to shoot directly.
Da Yao hurriedly signaled to Witherspoon on the side, who immediately pounced from the right and drove Luo Yong into Da Yao's arms.
Rayong had already closed the ball in advance, and at the same time twisted his body to the right side and then picked it up, glanced at Van Horn on the left side and threw the ball up, Da Yao immediately turned around and pounced in the direction of Van Horn.
It turned out that Rayong's throw did not pass directly to Van Horn's direction, but threw the ball in a straight line in the direction of the sky, taking the opportunity to divert Da Yao's attention and jump up in the air to make a basket.
The
camera quickly swept to Iverson's direction, and when he played the Lakers before, in the face of O'Neal and Kobe's sandwich, Iverson had used similar shots to shake off the two rivals.
Rayong's ball is more difficult, it is in the direction of the basket, and the maneuverable space is smaller, and he can only grab a half-step position, and once the assistant defense behind him reacts, it will be troublesome.
The fight was a surprise.
Coach Zhang: This is the current Coach Bol, if you put aside the previous Larry Brown, you dare to play like this in the last three or four minutes?
97-103, a six-point difference, and with two minutes and seven seconds left in the game, Van Gundy called a timeout.
Xu Jicheng: Actually, there is still a lot of time, enough to attack, but now how to choose when changing defenses has become a problem, if you pinch Rayong who holds the ball, then the shooting opportunities of Aaron McGee, Ragabel, and even Van Horn and others on the outside will come out.
But if you hold down Ragabel's goalscorers, Rayong will use all kinds of unbelievable methods to score the ball, in a word, to see if Van Gundy's shrinking tactics can continue.
Maurice Taylor played a long time tonight, Cato was more on the bench, and the camera kept cutting to Cato's face, and it was clear that the interior player with some projection ability should get a chance to play at this time.
After all, Taylor's physical strength has reached the upper line, and his steps in the previous two assists were a little staggering.
Sure enough, Cato finally got on the pitch after returning from this timeout.
Francis is still sitting on the sidelines, and Van Gundy is determined to press Francis to the bench.
Xu Jicheng: It was said earlier that the management of the Rockets is listening to the offers of various teams, which seems to be groundless, and Van Gundy is the one who is determined to trade Francis.
He doesn't even mind trading him for Eddie Jones, and it doesn't matter if he posts a draft pick, but the Heat are not stupid, Wade is a player who needs to have the ball in hand, and how can one more Francis play?
Even if you want to find a core guard, you are looking for the kind of pass-oriented playmaker who throws Francis first and then his teammates after throwing it, and Pat Riley still has to keep Eddie Jones to change to a real old No. 1 position.
After the pause, Catola went to the upper line to share the pressure on Yao Ming.
Da Yao received the ball on the left side and shot directly from a long distance, and there were.
99 to 103, a four-point difference
! This ball Van Horn
can't reach! Jumps can't reach it!
The next minute both sides tightened up their defenses, and neither side scored directly.
In the final 47 seconds, the Rockets reached out for a foul on the inside and hugged Haywood down.
Send
Haywood to the free throw line!
Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Haywood missed the first free throw!
"Smack!!"
There was a crisp sound, and the second free throw was also lost!
Da Yao hugged the rebound, and Van Gundy on the sidelines immediately called a timeout.
47 seconds, 4 points difference, the Rockets have the offensive ball, and it looks like it's not out of luck to break the defending champion.
As the camera zoomed in, Van Gundy pulled the buttons of his shirt hard, half-crouched on the ground, and kept writing and drawing on the tactical board.
"I need you to keep hanging up on the line and cover and pull all the defensive attention over!"
"Yao, you see your teammates running at the top of the arc and quickly pull the side, to the bottom corner on the right side, then someone will pass the ball over, you shoot directly, don't try anything, believe in yourself!
"Everybody will think that we will press the time to play the last one steadily, and our offense will be completed in ten seconds, the frontcourt serve, ten seconds, just ten seconds, and complete the shot! I will also let Kevin Cato desperately ask under the basket to share your pressure, one-on-one no one can prevent you from being a seven-foot big man!"
Oh, phew, it's on the lower abdomen....
