Chapter 15 Van Gundy's Desperation and Chutian's Transformation
But at this time, the focus of the Rockets' home audience was on the match between Keao and Yao Mai just now. The timing of Yao Ming's block just now was just right. If Odom wasn't smart, the goal would be ruined!
Of course, the Lakers Kobe Bryant's fast break pass is not lacking in bright spots!Chu Tian looked at Kobe who started to pass the ball on the court and smiled. This guy still listened to his words.
A basketball commentator who is flooded with a certain sound in later generations once made such a comment. It's not that Kobe can't pass the ball, but it depends on whether he is willing to pass the ball and whether he believes in the person he passes the ball to.
Chu Tian thought about looking at the Rockets bench on the other side of the court. Now that Kobe started to pass the ball, his team's offensive options have been enriched a lot.
Van Gundy, Van Gundy!What should you do?
It is to block Kobe's passing route, and then let Kobe go crazy and score 50 points. He is shameless but has the possibility of winning the game.
Still put all his eggs in one basket, for the sake of ridiculous face life and death to prevent Kobe from scoring 50 points, but Kobe used sudden points to revitalize the entire team and lost the game.
How would you choose Van Gundy?Should it be called a pause?
This game seems to be getting more and more interesting!
At this time, the score gap between the Lakers and the Rockets has come to about 3, but although McGrady made as many as 5 turnovers in the first half of the game, in the last 7 seconds left, McGrady received the ball in the backcourt. A super long-range three-pointer spanning half court cut the Lakers and Rockets score to [-] points
Although this trick helped the Rockets pull back a little gap, it was not what Van Gundy, the Rockets coach at the time, advocated, because there was a widely circulated jingle in the NBA at that time.
"Van Gundy is a softie, and the players he teaches are miserable!"
Although this sentence is somewhat one-sided, it also has a correct evaluation of Van Gundy. It is true that Van Gundy is indeed stable after all compared to other NBA teams. It is not advocated for Madonna's aggressive and aggressive approach!So in the third quarter of the second half, McGrady was a spectator for 10 minutes!
Van Gundy put all his treasures on Yao Ming!He knew that McGrady was completely defeated in the matchup with Kobe, so he pulled Yao Ming aside and shouted loudly:
"Yao, now the face of me, you and the Rockets is on you. No matter what method you use in the second half, you must score for me! Remember! As for Kobe, I will let other people double-team him! You don't need to worry about it!"
Of course, Chu Tian also studied Van Gundy thoroughly during the intermission, he knew Van Gundy's character well!
In the second half, Kobe will definitely not be left alone, and Kobe will be double-teamed!Would rather lose the game than allow Kobe to score 50 points.
Taking Odom as the second core of the team besides Kobe, and handling the team's ball possession after Kobe is double-teamed, Odom has this ability, after all, he is known as a left-handed magician.
In Chu Tian’s view, Odom felt a little wronged as the sixth man of the Lakers. As the fourth position in 99, Odom used to work with Alston and the lone wolf Marbury in basketball. It was also favored by many scouts at that time!
Odom's basketball talent is considered top-notch in the NBA, but he is more emotional. To put it simply, his mentality is relatively fragile. This can be seen from his sugar addiction. Emotions are the reason for Odom's unstable state.
But Odom is in good shape in this game!Hearing Chutian's arrangement, Odom immediately smiled, and he agreed with a playful smile:
"Coach Chutian, I think you must have done the most correct thing in your life!"
"I think there is one more important thing, do you want to know?" Chu Tian also responded with an evil smile.
"What?" Odom felt bad.
"If you win, I'll treat you to a big meal. If you lose, I'm sorry, I will arrange for you to go to the gym and do 500 pull-ups and sit-ups every day!"
Hearing this, Odom was shocked, and he was in a bad mood!
Although the 5-minute arrangement is short, it is enough for the Lakers. At this time, after the short dance of the Rockets home cheerleaders, the game ushered in the second half!
The second half is here, and the players on both sides are determined to win this game!Chu Tian knew very well that the Rockets at this time were very different from those in the first half. At this time, the state of the players of the two teams had begun to slump, but the decline of the Rockets seemed to be slower than expected, probably because of the exhaustion of physical strength in the first half. The reason is that the flames of many players on the Lakers team have begun to weaken, but Kobe and Odom are not affected at all.
The Rockets still maintain a strong side!Chu Tian understood that it was because of Yao Ming. It was because of Yao Ming's presence in the Rockets that the Rockets still maintained a high-pitched atmosphere!
Audience at the Toyota Center shouted "YaoMing!!!"
This cry is deafening!It is an echo of Yao Ming's outbreak!Chu Tian guessed right, Van Gundy did place all his bets on Yao Ming!
Yao Ming broke out in the second half!Once he used his height advantage to grab an offensive rebound!Then in the process of returning to defense, he used a double-handed dunk dunk that overwhelmed all the heroes and won a 2+1 for the Rockets!
Then, under the steal of the streetball king Alstom, he turned into an outside turret and made a long-range three-pointer from the outside!The Lakers were caught off guard!Under Yao Ming's offensive, the Lakers have exposed their internal weaknesses!The atmosphere on the field is even more boiling!
The audience shouted: "Yao Ming MVP! Yao Ming MVP!"
Compared with Yao Ming and Odom's defense, it has become the background board of the former, especially Yao Ming used the dreamy footwork learned in Olajuwon to turn Mim and Odom around in front of him, just like an NBA player and a primary school student At this time, the Rockets team has a strong desire to fight!At this time, the difference is only two points!
Looking at the unfavorable situation, Chutian certainly couldn't sit idly by, he called a timeout again!
"Everyone, don't worry! Don't mess up your own rhythm! Mim and Odom must resolutely double-team Yao Ming when he has the ball! When necessary, he must foul fiercely and consume Yao Ming's energy!"
Chu Tian urged Mim and Odom repeatedly.
"Oh! This is not good! After all, they are your compatriots!" Odom joked half-truthfully!
"What are you thinking about? This is a competition!" Chu Tian frightened Odom with a fierce expression, and reminded at the same time:
"There is a saying in China that there are no fathers and sons above the casino. Similarly! There are no brothers or compatriots on the field! Only victory and defeat! Do you understand?"
Chutian looked at Odom seriously, Odom nodded quickly, Chutian looked at the other team members, and they also nodded in agreement.
"Okay! Let's play!"
"come on!"
Chu Tian looked at the spirited team members, but he didn't say a word, whether he can win this game depends on the performance in the third quarter!
