Chapter 151 It's really exciting
The first attack power was snatched by the Rockets.
Yao Ming followed the team forward. After halfway through the game, Chris Webber took the initiative to follow: "Come on, man, let you know the difference between the playoffs and the regular season!"
"OK!"
Yao Ming nodded, and was about to go forward to give Frances a pick-and-roll step. He turned his body sideways and asked Frances for the ball. He planned to go to Chris Webber head-on, and he moved his back toward Webber. When he was about to put it on, he suddenly turned around and tried to press Chris Webber behind him through this turn.
Chris Webber was not slow at all and moved towards Yao Mingka.
After Yao Ming felt the physical confrontation that Chris Webber caught up and fought, he immediately turned around and returned to his original position. With the space he had continuously turned around, he took action at a distance and made a "swish" shot!
“nice!”
"pretty!"
"This goal was made!"
As soon as I started, I used such gorgeous steps, and huge cheers suddenly sounded in the audience.
When Yao Ming returned to defense, he nodded slightly with satisfaction.
He was not satisfied with the goal, he was satisfied with the physical coordination he showed in the goal. After a season of hard work, what he has been getting better now is not only the ability to confront the same level, but also the physical coordination is much better than before.
The Kings immediately launched an attack. Mike Bibby dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to the high Chris Webber. Webber faced Yao Ming and did not make a strong move. A "precision guide" gave the ball to Christie who was slipping through the bottom line. Kevin Cato blocked him in time. Christie made a layup and passed the ball back out. Then, after Chris Webber's transmission, Stojakovic on the other side received the ball and pushed the ball into the basket with Bathir's defense.
“yes!”
Stojakovic punched hard, and this ball fully demonstrated his strength as a top scorer in the league.
Yao Ming felt ashamed of himself. He scored a lot of three-pointers in the late regular season, but in the playoffs, he has scored a total of three-pointers after four games. It’s not that he doesn’t want to take action, but that the defense and backup defense in the playoffs are much more fierce than the regular season, and his three-point shooting speed needs to be practiced again. For him, the time to take action in the playoffs is no longer the opportunity. Therefore, he highly recognizes Stojakovic’s three-point shooting strength.
It’s a pity that he just thought about it in his heart, and no one knew, otherwise Stojakovic would be so happy!
What he was thinking about before was nothing more than proving his ability in front of Yao Ming.
This ball also showed the Kings' gorgeous transmission ball until Stojakovic got the ball. These guys passed the ball in total 4 times, but it only took less than 3 seconds, which shows how tacit the cooperation between them is!
We'll come too!
Francis gave Yao Ming a wink. Yao Ming understood it and took the initiative to give a pick-and-roll on the offensive end. Francis, who bypassed Mike Beeby, slowed down slightly against Chris Webber who made up. But when Chris Webber thought he would not break through, he suddenly exerted force, a "tiger pounced" and rushed over from Chris Webber. Chris was still in the stage of deflation just now. When he had accumulated strength and moved horizontally to try to block Francis, "Spider-Man" had already completed the breakthrough next to him. He could only watch Francis rush towards the basket.
Fortunately, Mike Bibby had already made up, and Francis could not make a layup directly, but he did not hesitate. Facing Mike Bibby's backup defense, he gave the ball to Yao Ming who was following behind.
Yao Ming took the ball and took a step forward, and he had to detonate it when he opened his hand.
Mike Bibby thought about his height for a moment and quickly walked away from the basket. His anxious look seemed as if there was a monster chasing him behind him.
Until the "bang" sounded, Mike Bibby stopped and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If 2 points were lost, they could be recovered in the next round. It would be worth it to be the 2 points to be made into a background board!
There were huge cheers again at the scene, and this time the cheer continued until the Kings started attacking and did not stop.
But the Kings' offense was not disturbed by the cheers on the spot. They once again completed a gorgeous cooperation in the next offense and scored the goal again.
TNT commentator Kenny Smith saw this: "The Kings are in such a good condition tonight!" Being able to cooperate so smoothly in such an off-court influence shows how focused the Kings are in the game.
Barkley tells the truth: "It's underestimated, this is normal."
Kenny Smith smelled it and turned to look at him: "So man, do you think the Kings can win tonight?"
Barkley quickly said: "The Rockets must have won, I believe Yao!"
It's boring!
Kenny Smith left behind, and Barkley didn't go against him recently, which made him less fun, but... the Chinese No. 1 pick brought him a lot of shadow this time! It's been so long, but he hasn't come out of the shadow yet.
Tom on the sidelines also noticed that the Kings were particularly focused on the offensive end tonight. He originally planned to change his defensive strategy, but immediately gave up the plan. The players had potential. If he made a move to force them, at their concentration level, they might be forced to have greater potential, which would be even more difficult to deal with.
Let's do this first!
Anyway...
Tom looked at Yao Ming's high-level support to Mobley and assisted the latter to complete the layup, thinking: Anyway, we can score goals now!
The Kings' momentum tonight is really not overwhelming. The Rockets made their third attack, and they immediately responded to the attack and successfully scored the ball.
It was still a gorgeous pass-by-ball made by each other, and this time Christie seized it!
When they returned to defense, they all brimmed each other, and then stared at the Rockets who were running towards their defense zone. There were only four words on their faces: You must win!
As for the reason why they are so motivated, it is entirely a passage from Adelman before the game: "Now, everyone is not optimistic about you, think you will lose to the Rockets, think you are definitely not their opponents, I can't refute it, and you can't refute it either, because we lost a lot in the regular season and we haven't beat them this season. This is a reason I can't refute it, and this is also a reason you can't refute it. I hope that after tonight, we will have the confidence to refute it in front of the media, everything is not certain!"
"Take your attitude towards fighting hard. Our goal is to defeat the Lakers, not to waste time with young troops like the Rockets!"
It was Adelman's words that awakened them!
Yes, their goal should be to defeat the Lakers, rather than playing against the Rockets, it will be difficult and will be disapproved by the outside world!
Tonight, they want to prove to fans around the world that the Kings in the playoffs are completely different from the Kings in the regular season!
One thing that Yao Ming must admit is that this Kings were able to play seven games with the Lakers last season, which is not luck. When this team concentrates and when the team's "Prinston system" is opened in the right way, their offensive firepower is really strong! When the second quarter reached 4 minutes and 13 seconds, the Rockets were still 2 points behind 36-38.
This is the Rockets whose offensive firepower has been upgraded again!
The firepower is not even up to the Kings team, which shows how fierce the firepower of this Kings team is.
"Now, do you still think you can beat us easily?" Chris Webber asked Yao Ming. In fact, he asked the media that didn't like them, but now in the game, all he could ask is Yao Ming.
Yao Ming first focused on the offensive end, scored the ball with a mid-range shot, and tied the score difference, and then replied: "Maybe it's not easy, but I believe we are still the winner!"
whispering sound!
Chris Webber gritted his teeth secretly. What he wanted to hear was not Yao Ming's words.
"Then try it!"
Chris Webber "dealed" to Stojakovic again. This guy felt really good tonight. He hit a three-pointer at the beginning and another three-pointer at the end of the first quarter. Now, he hit a three-pointer again. Before the first half was over, he had already hit three three-pointers.
"My, sorry!"
Bathil reached out with helplessness after Stojakovic hit the shot.
He obviously kept up with this guy's rhythm every time, but this guy could hit the ball. He gave as many obstacles as possible, but the effect was not very obvious.
Yao Ming comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, just defend the way you are now!"
Some nights, no matter how you defend, those top shooters have a way to get the ball into the basket, and tonight Bathir obviously encountered this situation.
"No, continue to throw it to them. I'm afraid I can't defend myself in this game!"
Tom looked at Stojakovic hitting a three-pointer again, instinctively wanted to call for a timeout, but his reason made him wait any longer, but watching Francis dribble, before halftime, he finally decided to call a timeout.
Tonight's Kings are surprisingly strong!
"Guys, this is the difference between the playoffs and the regular season. We scrupulously cleaned them up during the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, they became stronger. It was really not what we expected, but this is the playoffs, we had to quickly adapt to the adjustments of our opponents and beat them!"
"I don't believe that our offensive firepower will be worse than theirs. I hope you don't think about how to defend them anymore. I just want to see you devote yourself to the offense and use our firepower to suppress their firepower!"
"Did you hear it clearly?"
In a simple sentence, it's fucking, but, beat them hard!
"beep!"
With the beeping, the two teams walked back to the field.
"Yao!" Francis suddenly called Yao Ming.
Yao Ming turned his head to look at him. The guy seemed to tremble slightly. Yao Ming was stunned: "What's wrong with you, man? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay!" Francis's face felt a little more excited, "What I want to say is..."
Chapter completed!
