I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 92 The Rockets with Yao Wumai!

November 11, Houston, Toyota Center Arena.

In the third stop of the Heat's western tour, the challenge is for the Yao-Mai combination to lead the Rockets.

O'Neill had a sore left knee and his return time was uncertain. Instead of continuing to play with the team, he returned to Miami to recuperate.

When they came to Yao Ming's territory, Su Bei didn't get together with Yao Ming. After all, Subei hadn't ruled the world yet, and it wasn't time to meet.

What's more, Yao Ming is still playing an away game on the 6th, and he has to go back to Houston to sleep and rest!
In addition to spending time with family members, you don’t need to engage in nonsense, just meet them on the court.

The Heat have a dense schedule in the new season, and the Rockets are not much better there, and they are also fully scheduled.

In addition, at this time, the Heat injured the two core players, O'Neal and Posey, but in terms of comparisons, the Heat are really no match for the Rockets.

Just one word, Rocket, count on you!

We all know that the owner of the Rockets doesn't like to spend money, so Dong desperately scraped together, exchanged zeros for the whole, and hired McGrady in the 04/05 season to form the so-called Yao-Mike combination.

In fact, the two really didn't have much time to work together.

No, after playing the Kings in the first game of the new season, McGrady lay down first. The injury will require major surgery, and it has been confirmed that half of the schedule will be reimbursed.

Just one McGrady, isn't that miserable enough?

The Heat team fell down two, and you only have one?
Hey hey hey, the comparison is only in quantity, the layout is small. In terms of quality, McGrady is half of the Rockets...

In addition, Xuanming and Zhuwan Howard are old and suffering from heart disease, which is a long-term output.

Uncle Mu is so old that he can't remember his age, not to mention suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and he always wags his fingers. He is about to have a stroke. Isn't that miserable?
All right!I won't break you!

You are miserable!

Last season, the Rockets ranked fifth in the Western Conference with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses. This season, they only played two games. The Rockets won one and lost one. They have basically bid farewell to the playoffs. The tragic words in capital letters are indeed well-deserved .

Coupled with Yao Ming's weight gain, injuries will also come to him.

Stan Van Gundy and Jeff Van Gundy were still brothers.

Jeff Van Gundy has no hair as a younger brother, and his older brother is so ugly but has hair.

Not to mention, this Rockets team is really miserable.

The Heat can only admit that they are small.

Both teams, before the start of the new season, were favorites to contend for the championship, and now their rankings are dropping.

As night fell, the home court of the Rockets was full of people.

After the simple appearance ceremony, Su Bei and Yao Ming formally met and chatted a few words about the scene. After all, the masters are too enthusiastic, and it is not easy to kill them later.

To say the warmest words and deal the hardest blows, Su Bei thought he couldn't do it.

Then it's better to fight hard, and if you have a chance, say the warmest words!

During the warm-up, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two teams tonight were displayed.

On the Rockets' side, McGrady couldn't play, and they sent an unremarkable lineup.

Yao Ming, Juwan Howard, Ryan Bowen, David Wesley, Alston.

For the Heat, O'Neal and Posey couldn't play either, and the starting lineup continued to change.

Mourning, Haslem, Subei, Payton, Wade.

On the commentary stage, Mike Breen glanced at the lineups of both sides, analyzed and said: "McGrady can't play, and the unknown Ryan Bowen will be on top.

McGrady and Bowen, one can attack and the other can defend. The Rockets should completely defend in this game.

It's just that, if you fight defense, is it too much to use David West?
In addition, Yao Ming, who is 2 meters 26 in the center position, is too tall and the other is too short.

The Heat also like to play pick-and-roll tactics. After the pick-and-roll, isn't it the most obvious dislocation no matter how you play?

Jeff Van Gundy really knows the ball? "

The groom Albert was silent for a moment, but chose to continue the topic.

"Maybe Coach Van Gundy sees other unseen brilliance in David Weiss!
David Wesley is still very hard on defense, and he looks like a defensive loser, but his desire to fight is very strong.

Maybe it can bring something different...

In addition, it is not certain who has the upper hand when it comes to dislocation! "

The game started.

beep-!
When the whistle sounded, Mourning tried his best to start running, but just jumped lonely.

The height difference between him who is 2 meters and Yao Ming who is 08 meters is too big.

Snapped--!
Yao Ming made the first attack for the Rockets without suspense.

At the same time, the florist CCTV5 also broadcast the game, and the commentators were Zhang Lili and Director Sun.

"The newcomer Alston dribbles very smoothly, very good, and McGrady is not here, so he should pass the ball to Yao Ming who is pulled out.

Catch the ball, turn around, take the two-point jump shot..."

Swish-!
With a standard posture, soft touch, and a height of 2 meters, Yao Ming's mid-range catch is a point.

0 to 2! !
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy was surprisingly calm.

The Rockets are dual-core, and now there is only one Yao Ming left. There is really no need to treat the Rockets as alive.

He needs to watch his team quietly and just crush the Rockets to death with force.

On the court, the Heat attacked the round.

Su Bei pulled the side and became a tool man who opened up the space.

Ryan Bowen only had defense in his eyes, and it was impossible to catch the ball for Su Bei.

"Wade suddenly started, used his body to forcefully break through Alston's defense, European-stepped the ball up, hit Yao Ming, and then passed the basketball behind him.

Bang-dang-!
Mourning went to the basket, dunked with both hands..."

Yao Ming is good at protecting the basket, but his turn is too slow.

Moreover, this is 2 vs 1. It is no longer a question of turning speed, but a question of playing more and less.

It can only be said that Alstom is also a scam.

2 to 2! !
On the court, the Rockets took the offensive round.

"Bang bang bang...the breakthrough from David Wesley, this offense is unreasonable, should pass the ball to Yao Ming, the tactic of attacking from the inside out is reasonable.

However, the only things he can do are breakthroughs and shots. Wade is taller than him and has a very fast speed. He has no choice but to force his way.

David Wesley pulls up for a two-point jump shot..."

Bang-dang-!
Wade's performance against small and flexible guards is not bad.

David Wesley's strong shot went wide.

"The rebound was taken off by Yao Ming, he was confronted close to his body, he feinted, and Yao Ming suddenly turned around, ignoring Mourning's block, dunked with both hands under the basket, and scored two points.

Yao Ming grabbed and shot himself, sweeping the first 4 points of the Rockets.

After Yao Ming gained weight, his physical resistance has improved significantly. In the previous two seasons, Yao Ming would be squeezed under the basket and there would be no room for comfort.

Now, he dares to go back, Mourning dare not touch Ben except for fouls, it is easy to get points, and at the same time, he also needs to be punished for fouls..."

2 to 4! !
"Dayao played very aggressively and aggressively, while Xiaosu didn't have many chances to perform, we have to work harder.

It was Wade's breakthrough again, and Alston couldn't stand it at all.

When he was with the Heat in the 03/04 season, Alstom was Wade’s substitute. If it wasn’t for Wade’s poor organization and assists, Alston and Ben would not be able to mix in the starting lineup. The difference in physical talent between the two is too far...”

"Wade made a layup with a European step, and was about to block Yao Ming's block. After a slow shot, the basketball hit the rebound and got into the basket..."

4 to 4! !
Wade continued to use his physical talent to hit the Rockets' defense and easily scored two points.

On the sidelines, Jeff Van Gundy had a headache.

In the first three games, Wade switched to shooting guard, and Jason Williams played the No. 1 position to organize. Now O'Neal is injured.

Don't organize at all, let Wade charge directly.

This kind of unreasonable talent style of play, with the Rockets' mediocre talent guard lineup, really can't handle it.

On the court, during the Rockets' offensive round, Alston saw that it was Payton who was marking him, and he didn't mean to play hard, so he hoisted the basketball into the penalty area.

"Yao Ming caught the ball with his back and squeezed back twice.

Hey, Subei emptied Ryan Bowen and flanked Yao Ming. I haven't seen the strength of this little Subei's game. This pattern is not good...

How can you pinch Yao Ming!

Yao Ming held it up high, didn't force it, and gave the ball to Ryan Bowen on the outside, the ball was empty, and he didn't make a shot..."

"If it's McGrady, the ball is either a shot or McGrady's breakthrough. Ryan Bowen has no confidence in shooting and passes the basketball to Alston...

Hurry up, pass the ball to Yao Ming, you are so unreasonable...

Alston was abrupt, he was going to throw or miss, he retreated, raised his hand for a three-pointer and pulled out his hand..."

Bang-dang-!
Alston's three-pointer missed.

In the contract year last season, Alston averaged 39% of the three-pointers and averaged 13.5 points per game. His performance looked very good.

It's just that he came from the Menglong team, which is known as a good place to collect data.

Alstom's data is also very watery.

"Su Bei played as a card forward, helped Mourning grab the rebound, and distributed the ball to Payton.

Wade and Su Bei turned around and rushed up, the Heat had a chance to counterattack, and the frontcourt formed a two-on-two..."

Strictly speaking, it's Wade and Subei playing David Wesley and Alston.

Wade took a look at the ball, rushed up to break through the penalty area, made a European layup, and then threw the basketball to the backboard.

Bang-!
"Wade's mistake?

No.

It was a pass, and Wade ignored the defense of the Rockets' two backcourts, and came up with a fancy plate assist...

Su Bei followed the penalty area, jumped up, grabbed the basketball that popped out in the air, dunked it with both hands, and blasted the basketball into the basket..."

Bang-dang-!
6 to 4! !
Subei's offensive and defensive integration opened up the scoring account for this game.

At the same time, the talent gap between the two teams' perimeter players is also fully demonstrated. Compared with the Heat's perimeter players, the Rockets' perimeter is not a billion points worse.

"We can't let the Heat rush up anymore. With the combination of Alston and David Wesley in the backcourt, as long as the Heat speed up, the Rockets' defense will be like paper."

"Jeff Van Gundy's formation, in terms of rushing back line combination, is still small, the pattern is too small..."

Without McGrady, for the Rockets, the damage is too great.

In addition to the defensive end, there is also an offensive end.

In the Rockets' offensive round, Ryan Bowen was emptied again.

Not only can Su Bei flank Yao Ming and want to kill Yao Ming, but he can also flank the Rockets' perimeter with Wade.

Bang-dang-!
David Wesley's rush shot for a three-pointer also missed.

There is one less offensive threat, and Wade is a defensive player who has won the best defensive second team. He doesn't have much offensive space.

If you can't break through, you can only try to shoot.

Jeff Van Gundy doesn't feel that there is any problem with the current lineup.

Because Ryan Bowen worked too hard on defense, running without hesitation, biting Su Bei like a desperate three.

Except for a counter-attack goal, Su Bei really didn't get many offensive opportunities.

It's all thanks to Ryan Bowen, and why Jeff Van Gundy likes him.

Offensively, can you score?
No one knows, at least defensively, Ryan Bowen made him look very at ease.

Then don't attack?

How to attack without McGrady?
