The Sonics fans are naturally the happiest when Yao Ming is in such a good state, but the fans of the Rockets are not so happy. For the supporters of other teams, this is also not good news.

It happened that Yao Ming's former head coach Jeff Van Gundy and his teammate Mark Jackson were in charge of resolving the game. ESPN TV sent this pair of gold pairs, which fully demonstrated the importance attached to this game, and also because they were the most suitable for the game. Explain the game.

Mark Jackson is okay, he only played with Yao Ming for one season. Jeff Van Gundy single-handedly pushed Yao Ming to the position of the Rockets and made Yao Ming a top center in the league. The game is ugly and ugly. These are very annoying, especially his insistence on Yao Ming gaining weight in order to attack in the low post. It is considered to be the main reason why Yao Ming suffered too many injuries in the late stage, but for Yao Ming, he is still Yao Ming. benefactor.

"I don't know if you have noticed that the Sonics' current tactic is a bit like a triangle offensive tactic?" Mark Jackson said to Jack Van Gundy with great interest after observing for a while.

"It's just very similar. It's not a triangle offensive tactic. It lacks the middle point in the triangle offensive tactic." Jeff Van Gundy knew it without looking. After explaining this game, he had watched the last two Sonics. game.

As a commentator who has changed his job as a head coach, his task in the commentary is to make specific comments on the tactics, employment and command of the two sides of the game, while Mark Jackson is to explain the player's state, performance and psychological fluctuations, but Jeff Van Gundy also knows why Mark Jackson cares so much about tactics. It is no secret that he wants to seek a head coach position.

"Is there any advantage of this tactic compared with the tactic they used before? It seems that the new tactic is effective." Mark Jackson is the second most assist point guard in history. He is no stranger to the tactic, but Said that there is still a big gap with Jeff Van Gundy, so he asked without shame.

"The main improvement of this tactic is to increase the inside offense, which is mainly conducive to the ability of Yao Ming. As for the effect, it is still unclear. Whether a tactic is considered successful does not depend on the performance against weak teams. It depends on the performance against strong teams.” Although Jeff Van Gundy is a defensive-oriented coach, it does not mean that he does not know how to attack. It is precisely for better defense that he needs to know more about offense.

"Then do you think the Rockets are considered a strong team?" Mark Jackson asked Jeff Van Gundy with great interest, wanting to see how he would answer this question, how to evaluate the former owner, especially how to evaluate Adelman's work.

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count. Especially after losing Yao Ming, the Rockets have no more than [-]% chance of winning against the Supersonics. If the Rockets still stick to their defensive style of play, they still have a chance of winning. The Sonics fight against each other, and there is almost no possibility of winning." In Jeff Van Gundy's view, there is only one way to defeat the strong with the weak, and that is to defend, and the Rockets have obviously given up on defense, although the players are still working hard. Defense, but if the head coach does not emphasize defense, the players will naturally give up slowly, especially when the opponent's offense is particularly strong.

"I think the Rockets are playing pretty well now. You see, they were leading just now." Mark Jackson knew that what Jeff Van Gundy said was right, but the necessity of work made him refute the opponent.

"The Sonics haven't exerted their strength yet. Recently, there has been a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the main force of the Sonics was on par with the opponent at the beginning, but when they come off the bench, they can even open the score." Jack Van Gundy to Mark Jackson.

"Then what's the reason?" Mark Jackson asked inexplicably. Generally, the main lineup is the strongest side, so how can they take the lead when they are on the bench.

"On the one hand, their main force is not fully exerted, especially their core Stephen. His scoring average this season has dropped significantly compared to last season, and this drop is mainly due to the drop in scoring in the first half. His scoring average in the first half of last season was [-] points, but this season it dropped to only [-] points. This is an obvious gap. It is not that his ability has declined, but that he has reduced his own The number of shots taken, on the other hand, their bench lineup is indeed strong, and the gap in strength between the main force and the opponent's main force may not be as big as the gap between the substitute and the substitute."

"There is another team in the league with such a balanced lineup, and that is the San Antonio Spurs. If the Supersonics were a copycat of the Spurs in the past, they should have surpassed the Spurs in terms of lineup strength. A strengthened version of the Spurs, you must know that the Spurs are also often opened up by the bench lineup, but they are not as obvious as the Sonics."

After hearing Jeff Van Gundy's words, Mark Jackson nodded in agreement. For this Sonics team, he also has a great desire to coach. It is only possible that Carlesimo's position is very stable.

There is no head coach who wants to coach a weak team to challenge the difficulty. Even if it is the same as playing cards, no one thinks that the cards in their hands are good. They would rather have too many players than no one is available. He got a very low contract, which created a balance in his strength.The thickness of the lineup is indeed extraordinary. Even if Yao Ming is traded, only Wilcox is exchanged. Jared Jeffries has only come this season, and he is exchanged for Szczerbiak. .

There is no rubbish contract is such a result, the thickness of the lineup is indeed extraordinary, and when the bench lineup is on the court, usually one of Stephen or Durant will stay on the court, which is why they are strong.

Sure enough, in the second quarter of the game, McGrady took a break. At this time, Stephen of the Sonics team was still on the court. In addition, as soon as Yao Ming and Coupard came out of the "Twin Towers", the Sonics immediately took the lead.

In order to deal with the two of them, the Rockets sent a combination of Mutombo and Hayes. Not to mention, the effect was quite good, but just when they thought the Rockets would last through the first half, Stephen suddenly With all his strength, he scored six points in a row and completely opened the score.

In the second half, the Rockets once continued to close the score, but when Yao Ming and Stephen returned to the field, the two teamed up to score a wave of [-] to [-], and opened the point difference to more than [-] points in one fell swoop. Lost the suspense.

Yao Ming and Stephen left the court 5 minutes early for a rest. Durant led the team to play for a while and saw that there was no problem and was replaced. In the end, the Sonics slaughtered the Houston Rockets with 27 points. As for Alexander No one knows how depressed they are after seeing this result.

Through this game, the Sonics gained not only a victory, but also a tactical success, as well as a healthy Yao Ming. At this time, no one doubted that the Rockets made a mistake in their judgment. The obvious result, As soon as the Rockets returned to the home court, they announced that team doctor Thomas Clanton had resigned due to personal reasons. The Rockets were going to find a new team doctor.
