Chapter 514 [Why are the flowers so red]

Chapter 514 [Why are the flowers so red]

The second quarter is also the performance time for the Lakers' benches. Even if Lamar Odom is not there, the Timberwolves have nothing to do.

Yang Rui didn't even need the tactical board, he pointed at a few people casually with Erlang's legs crossed, "Five of you, go." Then he continued to eat snacks, like watching a movie in a movie theater.

Mo Williams, Ariza, Andre Iguodala, Walton, and Diaw came on stage, without a center.

On the surface, this seems like a fool's errand, but it's actually a coup, because the Timberwolves hardly attack in the low post, relying solely on guards to break through and shoot from the outside.

Five Timberwolves: Cassell, Anthony Carter, Jarvis Hayes, Eddie Griffin, Mark Madsen.

Madsen is 206cm tall and weighs 109kg. He is very strong and has no attacking ability.

Griffin is 208cm tall, and his style of play is closer to that of a small forward.

The big man is not good. The Lakers are also on the zone defense. Only Cassell and Griffin can make three-pointers in the Timberwolves. Cassell's main scoring method is the mid-range shot. No matter which side they attack from, the height of the Lakers can do To interfere with the shot, the movement speed will not be passed by one step.

After grabbing backcourt rebounds and fighting back, all five of the Lakers can get down quickly. Ariza is dislocated when facing two guards, and forcing a layup is an opportunity.

In the positional battle, Walton and Diola went out to organize, giving space to Mo Williams and Iguodala to break through the storm, and also ensured the offensive efficiency.

The difference widened to 25 points, McHale replaced Garnett early, replaced Madsen, and added a scoring point.

Yang Rui replaced Wharton with Rasheed to defend Garnett, and continued to use substitutes in other positions. After 6 minutes, Kobe and Yao Ming were replaced.

After Yao Ming played, he immediately played Garnett in the low post. Mike Haier immediately replaced Olavokandi and replaced Griffin, who made 2 of 0 shots and showed no performance.

The champion of parallel imports faced Yao Ming again and was responsible for defending the penalty area. Of course, he couldn't defend it. Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row and made Olavokandi's third foul after 2 minutes.

这节姚名砍下8分，半场25分11篮板2助攻1盖帽，统治了禁区。

In the second half, the Timberwolves also continued to use Olafokandi and veteran players Johnson and Yao Ming to face each other. At the end of the three quarters, both of them were fouled four times.

In the final quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 37 points and entered garbage time.

At this time, many people wondered, why not let Garnett guard Yao Ming?Isn't he a perennial All-Defensive First Team pick?How on earth did McHale become a coach, and will he use people?

Although McHale lacks coaching experience, when he was a player, he was a superstar of the Celtics and one of the top 50 NBA stars. Of course, he understands basketball and defense, because he has been selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team for three times and two times. Secondary array.

Not only McHale, when Sanders was still around, he wouldn't let Garnett defend Yao Ming because he couldn't resist.

Garnett has never been the main defender of big centers. He is good at defending forwards alone, switching pick-and-rolls, and assisting in blocking blocks. Due to his lack of strength, once Garnett is leaned against and cannot jump up, his defensive efficiency will be greatly reduced.In this regard, he is no different from Gasol, Rasheed, Bosh and others.

When he first entered the league, Garnett played small forward for the Timberwolves.Because he didn't want to play center, he falsely reported his height by two centimeters.And his weight is around 100 kilograms all the year round, only 95 kilograms when he was a rookie, and now 107 kilograms.Not to mention professional NBA coaches, even pseudo-fans should know that Garnett is not suitable for playing center when he sees his lanky figure.

Yes, Yao Ming's muscles don't look as strong as Garnett's, but on the court, stability is the key.If Mango Terrace organizes basketball, He Jiong will never be able to guard against Haitao. Haitao can hit him with a gardenia and let him know why the flowers are so red!

If Garnett can resist people, McHale will not have to hire people like Olavokandi with high salary after Nesterovic leaves.It's not that McHale still believes in his talent, but that the team must have a meat-shield center, which is helpless.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Garnett must have a meat shield by his side, even during the Celtics Big Three.

The Celtics led the Lakers 10-3 in the 2 Finals. After Perkins was injured, they were not unexpectedly reversed.

Later, Perkins was traded to the Thunder, and it was difficult for the Big Three to regain the courage of the year. The decline was related to the age of the stars, but the unreasonable configuration of the lineup was the root cause. The center of the team was Rondo with 185CM. How to win?

In Yang Rui's previous life, Garnett realized that after the team did not make the playoffs in the 2004-2005 season, he could not gain weight. He began to gain weight in the summer. During the training camp of the 05-06 season, his weight reached 115 kilograms. Major media reported that it was called "weight gain", but even after the weight gain, Garnett is reluctant to play center, his legs are not thick enough, and his lower body strength is average.

Until Yao Ming retired, the number of times the two faced each other was very limited. Garnett often competed with Hayes. He couldn't hold Hayes with his back, and there were a lot of videos of turning around and shooting missed. That's why Hayes can get a high-paying long-term contract with the Kings.

"Hard Secret" is most proud of, the case of Garnett's "death prevention" Yao Ming is January 2008, 1, when the Rockets challenged the Celtics away, and Garnett was the main defense at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. Yao name for a few minutes.

McGrady didn't play that game due to injury, but the Rockets overtook the score when they were behind by more than 20 points. At the last moment, Garnett's outstanding performance led to a 93-97 loss.

In this game, Yao Ming didn't feel good, but it was full of lethality. The Celtics used starting center Perkins and backup center Pollard to defend Dayao, and they committed 6 in the fourth quarter.

Then, Garnett was born, and after his teammates used the wheel battle to consume Yao Ming's physical strength, he played against Yao Ming who played for 40 minutes, showing a tough defense.Moreover, it's not that Garnett's special defense Yao Ming can't make a shot, but that he has a chance to not make a shot.

Looking at the lineup of the Celtics and Rockets at that time, for comparison, "Hard Secret" is obviously just blowing Yao's name.If the two are switched teams, can Garnett take the starting lineup of Hyde, Alston, Shane and Hayes to the top half?

The Celtics start with the Big Three, Perkins, and Rondo. The substitutes also include Tony Allen, James Posey, "big baby" Glen Davis, Eddie House, and Leon Bowie. Wei and a group of strong men.

In that game, the Rockets could reach the end. The key was that Yao Ming graduated from the two insiders. The Green Army wanted to restrict Yao Ming. The price paid was that Wells broke out. The Rockets scored a total of 55 inside points, which is Yao Ming's containment. defensive result.

On the other hand, in the Green Army, except for Garnett, the other insiders are basically abolished, with a total of less than 40 points.

而且那还是姚名对阵加内特的球队打的最差的一场，42分钟时间19分13篮板2助攻，35%的命中率。

During Garnett's time in the Timberwolves, Yao Ming averaged 25+10 per game. After he abused the Timberwolves inside, Garnett didn't take the lead in defense; on the offensive end, he also shot outside and would not challenge Yao Ming.

It's just a legend that the hard special guard kills Ruan Yao.His style is actually most suitable for pairing with Yao Ming on the inside, not as an opponent.

In the final quarter, both sides sent substitutes. The five Lakers were Mo Williams, Ariza, Walton, Dior, and Diop. The offense and defense were balanced, and they grabbed the Timberwolves as a tyrannical substitute, 32 to 15 in a single quarter.

In the end, 134 to 80, the Lakers won by 54 points and made a good start to the playoffs.
