Chapter 480 [Jagged jumper, Yao Sha showdown]

At the end of the timeout, the Heat changed to a mixed defense, O'Neal guarded the penalty area on the bottom line, and four people rotated to interfere with shots on the outside.

This arrangement of Stan Van Gundy can avoid O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, allowing him to focus more on the offensive end.

The Heat attacked, O'Neal asked for the ball from the low post on the right, leaning on Yao Ming to arch his back to the inside, attracting Kobe to retreat and double-team, passing the ball to Wade on the periphery.Wade made a step inside the three-point line on the right and scored an open jumper. 14 to 6.

Wade can't make three-pointers, 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 without anyone.

Jones defended hard and was eager to prove himself. He was once known as the "Successor of Pippen", but he could not be the second leader in all three teams. As soon as there was a new core on the outside, he would be the first to trade him. Now he is again. It's ironic enough to leave the team soon.

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

Kobe wanted to go one-on-one and try to score high points, but Eddie Jones was a regular in the All-Defensive Team, so it was not a good choice for him to go one-on-one. Looking for Yao Ming to play the pick-and-roll, Payton and Wade were also good at interfering with outside shots. good.

Wade is still a rookie in his second year. Last season's defense has left a deep impression on people. He is extremely fast, rarely gets passed, and actively fills the defense. After dislocation, he blocked many shots from the inside.

Yang Rui arranged his tactics very clearly. If Shaquille O'Neal came out on the bottom line, he would hand over the ball to Yao Ming for a dislocation shot.

Kobe chose to pass the ball. He already understood Yang Rui's character. If he didn't play according to tactics, he would really be replaced. Yang Rui didn't have so much nonsense, and the Lakers also had rookies that could be cultivated.

If Yang Rui replaces Kobe early, it must be Kobe who is unlucky.

Everyone has too many things that they can't change. Going to the top will only add to the troubles. Sometimes life is more patient than whoever is, and whoever compromises first.Yang Rui has proven himself in Los Angeles, while Kobe has just climbed out of the "Eagle County Incident".

Yao Ming caught the ball in the middle and played 193CM Payton, dribbled with his back, turned to the right near the free throw line and shot a basketball.

Yao Ming's turn was extremely smooth, and a small back was added. It was impossible for the guard to block the block, and Wade's defense was one step slower on the side.

16 to 6, Yao Ming's fifth point.

The Heat attacked, and O'Neal took the ball in the low position and was double-teamed by Yao Ming and Kobe, with one defending and the other digging the ball.

O'Neal passed the ball out, and Wade, who was vacated, made a catch and shot, this time wide of the basket.Wade's mid-range shot is more accurate at 45 degrees, and other positions have to be practiced.

Yao Ming got the backcourt rebound and handed it over to the point guard.

Damon Jones took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it directly to Yao Ming, who was back in the middle and asked for the ball. O'Neal was still on the bottom line. Yao Ming leaned on Payton and turned to the right. One.

18 to 6, the 7th personal score.

Barkley laughed: "The Heat's zone defense strategy failed. O'Neal guarded the penalty area on the bottom line, but the Lakers didn't need to enter the penalty area to attack at all, and the two big men could shoot from the outside."

Smith said: "To defend the Lakers, you must have a big man inside. You can defend it out, and the guard has to play the pick-and-roll again. They always have a way to create dislocation offensive opportunities. Yao Ming's size can block people very well."

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

The Lakers' joint defense has obvious effects, because O'Neal pulled out to cover and could only cut empty, without a mid-range shot.Yao Ming doesn't have to worry about him scoring a jumper against a defender, just stay in the penalty area and wait for him to cut.

The Lakers attacked, but Kobe still gave the ball to Yao Mingda, and the players all pulled away.If O'Neal goes out and double-teams Yao Ming near the free throw line, Iguodala can easily score by cutting to the basket to catch the ball.

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

Yao Ming was still doing the same thing just now, turning to the right and making a jump shot, but Wade couldn't cover his jump with all his strength. The 193CM Wade has amazing bouncing power, but it takes time to jump to the highest point, and Yao Ming's shot is much faster.

He felt very good today, faced little defensive pressure, and scored again. 20 to 6, the personal ninth point.

When returning to defense, Yao Ming clenched his fists and roared, causing the audience to applaud.

Actually, Yao Ming was a little embarrassed at the moment.He seldom yelled on the court, and if he wanted to yell, he would yell after a beautiful dunk, just on a jumper, and he blushed a little.However, Yang Rui specially instructed him to do it before the game, because it can stimulate O'Neal and disturb the opponent's mentality.

O'Neal came out unguarded, and Yao Ming had to resolutely shoulder the heavy responsibility of attacking.

Yao Ming has this ability. In Yang Rui's previous life, because Yao Ming played too many times in the low post for the Rockets, many people thought that he was only good at bottom line turnaround jumpers.In fact, 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 mainly played in the middle.He can turn the jumper on the right like Ewing and just switch positions.

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

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

Barkley sighed: "Yao Ming's performance was unbelievable. He made 4 shots, including a three-pointer. This reminds me of his game against the Knicks. Today, maybe he is going to explode."

Smith said: "In the 1997-98 season, when the Knicks played against the Lakers, they used this method to defend O'Neal. In both games, Ewing's numbers were very good, while O'Neal's offensive efficiency dropped. Yang Rui was particularly good at targeting O'Neal. Today The Heat will probably fail miserably."

Barkley said with a smile: "Speaking of the Knicks, Larry Brown is still arguing with the Knicks for salary. Judging from Yao Ming's performance, the Knicks should not pay Brown salary. Yao Ming will definitely make the most progress this season. Fast player award, even competing with Shaquille O'Neal for the best team, it's hard to imagine such a super center being used by Brown as a fringe."

Shaquille O'Neal is getting more and more impatient. If Yao Ming has good statistics, fans will definitely compare him and think he is not worthy of his name. He must have more beautiful statistics than Yao Ming, or at least explode each other in order to keep the title of No. [-] center.

O'Neal gave up playing the pick-and-roll, went to the low post to ask for the ball, and squeezed a bit. Kobe came to double-team. O'Neal quickly turned to the baseline and threw his right hand.The score was behind, and there were still people who were double-teamed. O'Neal made his move too quickly, and he forgot to play Yao Ming like this.

Yao Ming's judgment was accurate. He almost jumped with O'Neal, and covered the ball with his left hand. Kobe picked up the basketball and passed it to Damon Jones to land.

After the ball was passed, Kobe smiled and gave Yao Ming two clappings on the court. This smile made O'Neal want to come up and beat him.

Kobe figured it out. No matter how many points he scored, people also knew that Eddie Jones and Wade were the main defenders of him. It was difficult to count O'Neal on this account. At most, he performed better than O'Neal.

Yao Ming's high score was different. The news before the game promoted "Yao Shar Showdown", Yao Ming's data broke O'Neal's words, and Fatty was undoubtedly even more embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Kobe decided to pass the ball to Yao Ming more, help him get better data, and let the fat man go.
