It’s not that the Rockets are leaving tonight. Stephen plans to entertain Yao Ming. Although he is not comparable to others, after Yao Ming left, Luther Hyde came over. He looks envious. As a rookie in the same grade, Stephen has already scored [-] plus points in the game. His highest score is only [-]. Stephen has already entered the game rotation lineup. There are Jon Barry and David Wesley in front of him. What about two people.

After chatting for two or three sentences, Luther Head left. He can't compete with Yao Ming. He just chats without warming up. If Van Gundy sees it, he won't have any good fruit for him. Players like them have the power of life and death in their hands In the hands of the coach, if the coach does not let you play or only gives you very little playing time, no matter how great your ability is, it is useless. Even if the first-round pick contract is guaranteed, what about the next contract? It determines the size of the next contract, how to perform without playing time at all, if it is a big-name player, if the playing time is less, you can complain to the coach, or communicate with the management, let the management put pressure on the coach, the life and death of players like them , the management doesn't care.

The game started soon, and Stephen naturally could only sit and watch. Nesterovic lost to Yao Ming in the jump ball, which was also a rare victory for Yao Ming in the jump ball. After Deli retired, his height was already the highest in the league, but his bounce was poor, and his wingspan was not comparable to that of black players, so he rarely beat his opponents in jump balls.

According to Van Gundy's strict requirements, the first choice of offense must be Yao Ming. After Yao Ming has no chance, other people can shoot. Even McGrady can only have the privilege. Before Yao Ming has no chance, if there is an offensive opportunity, he can. Priority shot.

Facing Nesterovich's defense, Yao Ming arched back twice, and easily arched in. In the past three years since entering the league, Yao Ming's strength has made great progress, especially in terms of lower body strength. There are few opponents, and Nesterovic will be his opponent. During the process of dribbling, Yao Ming kept watching the side. When he saw Duncan coming to help defend, he immediately turned around to the other side, and at the same time he made a hook Hook the ball into the hoop.

There is a big difference between a big man playing back and back with a short player, especially in terms of offensive selection, a short player must have space to take off, otherwise he has no shot height, so he can only attack by picking the basket. It is easy to be blocked, and big players don't need a take-off height at all. Whether it is a layup, a hook, or a rebound, it is easier than a short player.

But even for big players, there are fewer and fewer people who know this offensive technique. Most of them are jumpers. Stephen thought of Coupard again. The two talked on the phone a few days ago and talked about post-up singles offense , Stephen wanted to let Coupard go to school, Coupard immediately shook his head on the phone, and in the end it was Stephen who showed the boss' airs, which forced him to agree, practice if it's okay, as for whether he really went to practice Well, Stephen doesn't know, it's for his own good anyway, it's up to him whether he practices it or not, Stephen is just the boss, not a nanny.

The first three offenses of the Rockets were all completed by Yao Ming, but only two of them were scored. Stephen just shook his head when he saw it below. With such a simple offensive tactic, no wonder some people say that Van Gundy has two tactics in his hands. One is Yao Ming's singles, one is McGrady's singles, and then it's chaos.

But such a simple tactic makes it impossible to defend. Yao Ming's physical advantage is too prominent. As long as he catches the ball, there is no way to stop it. Unless it is a foul, Nestlovic will soon After paying the price of two fouls, Popovich immediately replaced Muhammad as if he had expected it.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Van Gundy replaced Yao Ming with Stromile Swift, who was newly signed this year. He was the biggest signing of the Rockets this season and was once known as "" The Rockets' third giant", but not long after signing, he only played two preseason games, and Van Gundy found that this guy's head is not ordinary, and he doesn't have any basketball IQ at all. I don't know how the coach of the Grizzlies trained him. It came out, and the Rockets were fooled for nothing, and it was 3000 million in five years. In Van Gundy's view, even 500 million was not worth it. Dawson was really blind this time.

This guy's physical fitness is really good, good enough to make people drool, but this basketball IQ is really not good, he has strength, speed and jumping, but he has no singles ability. He will only passively accept assists and then dunk. The ball was given to him, and he didn't know what kind of attack method to choose. It wasn't because he had too many weapons in his attacking treasure house, but because he didn't have much confidence in any means.

The season has just begun, and Van Gundy has begun to worry not how to make good use of him, but whether to abandon him, or sacrifice the team's record, focus on him, and make his stats look better. He was sent out in the mid-term, but Van Gundy doubts that such a method may not be effective. The management of other teams are not stupid, and they will accept such a large contract.

Now on the court, after Alstom dribbled the ball near the top of the ring, he reached out and summoned Swift to come up and do a pick-and-roll for himself. He passed the ball to Swift. After receiving the ball within the three-point line, Swift didn't know how to attack Parker. Instead, he passed the ball back to Alston. Knocked out, causing a mistake, Van Gundy slapped his head immediately below, and wanted to replace this guy with Mutombo now, but for long-term considerations, let Swift stay on the court, I hope this guy Suddenly enlightened, playing beautiful data to send away, Van Gundy really didn't want to train him.

After a while, Popovich suddenly called Stephen to play and replaced Bruce Bowen. However, since McGrady was still on the court at this time, Stephen's task was changed to defending him. After passing James and Pierce, Stephen is no longer excited about defending these top stars, and of course he will not be afraid.

Seeing Stephen coming in front of him, McGrady made a ecstasy jumper like a provocation. Although Stephen tried his best to take off the bounce, there was still a distance from the opponent's fingertips. Seeing that McGrady still had Coming over to look for a foul, Stephen quickly withdrew his hand.

This kind of jump shot is not defensive at all. If the body cannot be raised suddenly, or has the jumping speed of a springbok, it is impossible to defend this kind of jump shot. Stephen also saw it below. Bruce Bowen's personal defense is not very good. As a result, it's normal that you can't help yourself.

At this time, Stephen remembered the true meaning of defense. Defense does not prevent the opponent from scoring, but makes it more difficult for the opponent to score. This kind of pick shot seems very simple, but why is no one in the league except McGrady? To use it, because this kind of jump shot is too demanding on the body. In addition to his own height and wingspan advantages, this kind of in-situ dry call has very high requirements for the elasticity of the calf and the adjustment of the waist after take-off, and it is also very costly. Physical, so Stephen is not afraid that McGrady can be so dry throughout the game.

After making up his mind, Stephen stepped up his close entanglement with McGrady. Anyway, he won't let you choose an easy attack method. At the same time, Stephen also stepped up his own defensive actions. He is not afraid of fouls. He is just a substitute, and McGrady himself is also injured. Hidden dangers of illness, he was also a sudden madman before, why did he become mainly dry and drawn, not because he was afraid of getting hurt, so soon McGrady became restrained, and even stared at Stephen after Stephen moved a little too much He closed his eyes, and Stephen stared back without showing any weakness.

Who is afraid of anyone these days, what if you are a big name and you are an All-Star? When you are on the basketball court, you have to follow the rules on the court. As long as the referee does not call a foul, it means that this kind of action is allowed. You bark at me I don't need teeth, it's so easy.

The teammates on both sides hurriedly pulled the two people apart. The referee came over and gave a few warnings and did not give a technical foul. The two people did not make any aggressive moves. At this time, Elliott, the on-site commentator of the Spurs, praised Stephen's courage over there. In the face of McGrady, who is far more famous than him, he dared to show his teeth, and his spirit of not showing weakness is very in line with the style of western cowboys in Texas. Called Stephen "Our Little Cowboy".

Van Gundy finally couldn't stand Swift's mistakes again and again, and replaced Swift with Dikembe—God doesn't know how old he is—Mutombo, who hadn't even played for ten seconds, used A ferocious big hat announced what Lian Po is old but can still eat, and then proudly waved his index finger at the Spurs.

Unexpectedly, when it turned around, Derek Anderson rushed to the inside and was about to make a shot, but Stephen jumped up and slammed a big cap, and directly fanned the ball out of the court, and then Stephen also excitedly shook Mutombo Raised the index finger.

"Di" Who knew that the referee suddenly whistled at this time, and rushed over to give Stephen a "t" sign, making Stephen stunned, what does it mean, why did he call himself a technical foul, and he didn't do anything.

Just as Stephen was about to ask the referee for clarification, Robert Horry came over and stopped him, telling him that the gesture of shaking his index finger was exclusive to Muttoms and was licensed by the league. Anyone else using this gesture would be blown away. Technical foul.

"Our little cowboy is really courageous, no matter how old he is to be his father's African mountain or the referee, he is not afraid." Elliott made no secret of his love for Stephen in the commentary booth, The audience burst into laughter, standing up one after another to cheer and encourage Stephen.
