I am super giant

Chapter 147 The Rockets' Backcourt

In the first half of the first quarter, the Rockets still insisted on Yao Ming's singles to attract double-teams, and then pass inside to outside.

But Yao Ming's condition was really not good. He had a few chances but failed to make a shot.

Under such circumstances, although the Cavaliers played worse and their shooting percentage was a mess, the two teams still drew a tie.

11:11, this is the score at 6 minutes of the first quarter.

"An ugly game."

"It looks like two chickens pecking at each other."

"I'd rather go play poker than watch this game."

……

This is the evaluation of the game by American fans, which is really terrible.

But Huaxia fans watched with great interest, after all, there were two compatriots on the field.

Just then, head coach Jeff Van Gundy called a timeout.

After some arrangements, Fan Shuai replaced Yao Ming with Morris Taylor.

Huaxia fans were in an uproar. They were enjoying watching, so why did they replace Yao Ming?

Although Yao Ming played a little out of order, it wasn't bad, so he didn't need to be replaced anyway.

Ye Feng looked at the Rockets' bench. Fan Shuai was whispering something into Yao Ming's ear. Yao Ming kept nodding, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

NBA head coach, which one is a simple role?
Fan Shuai's arrangement naturally has a deep meaning.

Fan Shuai felt that Yao Ming's condition was not good. Instead of staying on the court, it is better to rest on the bench and wait until the critical moment to play to make a difference.

Although Yao Ming's absence will greatly affect the Rockets' offensive and defensive ends, it will not collapse.

The super backcourt composed of Mobley and Boss Foo has no problem leading the Rockets to play for a period of time.

Before selecting Yao Ming, the core of the Rockets was this backcourt combination.

Both are ruthless characters who can average 20+ points per game.

Mobley's peak is 21+4+2+1.5, he can shoot suddenly, and the three-pointer is very accurate.

The peak of the boss is 21+7+6+1. He is invincible in breakthroughs, accurate in mid-range shots, and has a makeshift three-pointer. He is the existence of the Western All-Star starting guard level.

In terms of physical fitness alone, he may be the strongest No. 1 in NBA history, not one of them.

The game continued, Francis attacked with the ball, and Ye Feng defended.

Facing Ye Feng's ready defense, Francis just smiled casually, and then started directly.

Change direction, change direction again.

Francis's change of direction does not have Iverson's artistic sense, but it is full of strength and explosion, and he is playing with his body.

After experiencing the baptism of a series of super breakthrough players such as Marbury and Iverson, Ye Feng's ability to prevent breakthroughs has also improved, especially the lateral movement speed and response are very good.

There was a slight surprise in Francis' eyes, but it was limited to that.

After another change of direction, Francis rushed forward with the ball directly.

Ye Feng moved sideways quickly, almost completely blocking Francis' breakthrough route, only a little bit out of position.

But such a slight loss of position is a huge loophole in the eyes of Francis.

Francis pushed Ye Feng directly with his body, and forcibly ran over it.

Ye Feng looked helpless, compared to Francis's super physical fitness, he was still far behind.

Francis broke through Ye Feng and went to the basket in an instant.

Ilgauskas and Boozer naturally wouldn't watch Francis score. The two formed an encirclement circle under the basket, waiting for Francis to throw himself into the net.

Ye Feng also caught up from behind, blocking Francis' retreat.

"Ye was very positive, but I would say it doesn't make any sense. Francis will only go forward, not back."

"That's right, with a talent like Francis, you really don't have to think about the back road, because no one can stop him."

The two commentators discussed.

Sure enough, even in the face of Ilgauskas and Boozer's two-person defense, Francis is still going forward and never retreating.

Outside the reasonable collision zone, Francis kicked hard, soared into the air, and flew to the basket.

Ilgauskas and Boozer jumped up immediately, and the four long arms covered the sky, forming a net that almost blocked all of Francis' shooting routes.

But in this case, Francis still did not panic.

Facing the defense of two insiders, Francis rocked his arms, twisted his waist, and swung his legs. With a very twisted movement that almost violated the limits of human beings, he avoided all blocks.

This is Francis' folding layup. His strong physical fitness allows him to do whatever he wants in the air and make moves that others cannot.

After dodging the defense, Francis flicked his wrist and gently threw the basketball out.

Swish!
Goal scored, 13:11.

For this ball, Francis played one against three, which perfectly demonstrated his strength as the starting point guard for the Western Conference All-Stars.

Such a violent, gorgeous, and invincible breakthrough is why Francis is loved by fans and voted for him.

The Cleveland fans were silent for a while, and there were only a few boos. Even the opponent's fans were unwilling to boo such a wonderful breakthrough layup.

This season, Francis' data dropped to 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.8 steals. Many people think that Francis is dead and has started to go downhill.

In fact, no and no.

Francis' stats dropped sharply because the Rockets changed their head coach and tactical core. Now they are playing with Yao Ming as the core.

There is a super traditional center not to use, that is something no fool would do.

If more possession of the ball is given to Yao Ming, Francis' stats will naturally decrease, but his strength will definitely not decrease.

In the second year, Francis was replaced by the Magic, and he still scored 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.4 steals. This is the best proof.

Even in the third year, when the Magic began to play with Howard as the core, Francis was still strong.

His real downhill road started from the step of Bruce Bowen in 2006.

After that kick, Francis, who relied on his body for food, fell into a slump and fell down the altar step by step, and finally had no ball to play.

If Bowen's stepping ruined Nash's championship dream and Carter's jumping ability, then Francis was ruined for most of his career.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attack.

James' singles against the 193cm Mobley is like a high school student bullying an elementary school student, easily getting inside.

Mobley's defense is actually very good, strong, fast, and agile, all of which add points to his defense.

But unfortunately, these are not easy to put in front of James.

In addition to James' disadvantage in agility, in terms of strength and straight-line speed, James completely beat Mobley.

(Old cat, old cat, is really very agile, that’s why it’s called a cat. Just kidding, I’m called old cat because the pronunciation of his name cuttino mobley is very similar to that of a cat.)
The Rockets came out inside to defend, James passed directly to the inside, and Boozer made a solid mid-range shot.

13:13, still a split.

The Rockets attack.

Francis passed the ball to Mobley this time, which probably meant that the good brother was bullied and asked him to fight back.

As a shooting guard with only 193 cm, Mobley's frontal crossover is definitely the top in the league, coupled with very accurate three-pointers and considerable mid-range shooting ability, which makes his offensive ability very powerful.

With one-on-one ability, Mobley can be said to be the best for most guards in the league.
