new lord of the rings

Chapter 174 Motai Yunas, who doubts life

In the first half of the first quarter, the two sides played a high score of 20:20. Zhang Xin and Bogut were replaced by Kerr, replaced by Barnes and David Lee, and the Rockets played Clint Capela.

The rookie Capela selected by the Rockets this year was born in 1994. He is 208kg and 109kg tall. He is a sporty insider with a long arm. He rebounds very well and can play fast breaks. Most of the young people who enter the league are like this.

Capela went up and played a pick-and-roll with Harden, and the effect was even better than Howard. Capela's athletic ability and position selection are not worse than Howard, and he will not ask Harden for the ball. Sexually chooses to attack the rim or pass the ball himself.

David Lee's defense against Harden was also not effective, and he was repeatedly beaten by Harden. Therefore, at the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was not opened and the score was 38:37, and the Rockets led by one point.

When the Warriors are not too defensive, the Rockets' offensive ability is not inferior to the Warriors, especially when Harden is full of energy.

In the second quarter, Cole arranged for Zhang Xin, Barnes, Livingston, Barbosa and Andrew Bogut to play.

The Rockets sent a mixed lineup of Donatas Motiejunas, Jason Terry, Corey Brewer, Pablo Prigioni, and Dwight Howard to deal with the Warriors' rotation.

The Rockets have a large lineup, with Howard at 211cm, Motai Yunas at 213cm, and Brewer at 206cm. However, Kerr is a coach who is good at forming formations. He did not send out the previous small lineup. He brought a substitute when he was preparing to rotate, so he replaced Bogut on the field.

In this lineup, Zhang Xin is on top of the 213th position to defend Motaiyunas. Although Motaiyunas is 10cm tall and 101cm taller than Zhang Xin, his weight is only [-]KG. This weight is about the same as Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin has enough athletic ability to defend hold him.

The Warriors have the ball, and Livingston dribbles the ball steadily across the frontcourt. Livingston's current athletic ability is not good, but the victory lies in his stability, defensive footwork and height, and a stable mid-range hand. In the Warriors Can't start, but as a rotation player, he is very competent. Livingston is here, and the rhythm of the Warriors' rotation time can be grasped well.

Livingston passed the ball to Zhang Xin after dribbling at halftime according to Cole's arrangement. Facing the Rockets lineup, Zhang Xin has countless ways to score, but the simplest is nothing more than finding a misplacement.

The Rockets sent Brewer to defend Zhang Xin. Brewer's height and speed can match Zhang Xin, and he can play face-to-face breakthroughs. Brewer is too light, so Zhang Xin can run in and fight, but there is an easier way.

Zhang Xin called Barnes to come over for a high pick-and-roll. Barnes quickly lifted up from the bottom corner, sent Motaiyunas to Zhang Xin, and took Brewer away.

The mediocre Motaiyunas stared nervously at Zhang Xin. The head coach McHale secretly called for a mistake. With Zhang Xin around, Motaiyunas was a loophole.

With Zhang Xin's tentative breakthrough, Motaiyunas staggered two steps away, leaving Zhang Xin two meters away. Zhang Xin didn't believe it: it was too easy!
But Zhang Xin would not hesitate, pulling it up immediately was a three-pointer!
Motiejunas is not so unbearable. He is still very flexible when he is in the low post, but when he is mentioned in the high post to defend, it exposes his shortcomings of lack of mobility. A person who goes to a place where he is not good at naturally has serious self-confidence Insufficient, not to mention facing a top breakthrough player like Zhang Xin.

As the head coach of the Rockets, McHale is at the forefront of training and pre-match preparations, but his adaptability in the game is a bit poor. For example, Motel Junas was targeted by Zhang Xin. If it was Popovich, he must replace Motel immediately. Yunas, instead of still hesitating there.

The Rockets have the ball, and the 37-year-old Jets Jason Terry has severely weakened his athletic ability, but he still has experience. He dribbled through the frontcourt steadily, and then began to direct his teammates to move.

Howard was stuck in the low post and signaled for the ball. Howard was still capable of singles at this time, and Jason Terry gave the ball to Howard.

Last season, Howard was humiliated by the newly formed Death Five, and he has been brooding in his heart. He wants to get back this field. He has been practicing back-up singles hard recently, and he is very confident.

Bogut held Howard fiercely, and Barbosa and Zhang Xin had already moved quietly. As soon as Howard took the ball, Barbosa rushed over. Howard was caught off guard, and the ball was slapped by Iguodala. The ball initiates the transition immediately.

Except for Bogut, the Warriors lagged behind. Barbosa, Barnes, and Livingston all followed Zhang Xin to advance quickly. The Rockets' Motiejunas, Howard and Bogut looked at each other in the back.

The Warriors 4-on-3 let the Rockets lose sight of the other. Zhang Xin broke into the basket, attracting the Rockets to shrink their defense. One hit the ground and gave the ball to Barbosa who followed up. Barbosa scored the ball to Barnes in the bottom corner. Barnes Pull up the three-pointer and hit it!

McHale was still hesitating.

Howard was stuck in the low post again and asked for the ball. Zhang Xin saw through the pass from Terry's shoulder and stabbed it with one hand. Barbosa rushed forward like an arrow. Zhang Xin made a long pass and the ball fell into Barbosa's hands accurately. , Barbosa stretched his neck and made a three-step layup.

The space for the Rockets is too small. Both Motiejunas and Howard are players who stretch the space. The Warriors can safely shrink, and Howard's offensive method is to focus on low-post singles. Motieyunas has no ability to open up space. Let the Warriors repeatedly double-team Howard successfully.

By the time McHale woke up like a dream, called a timeout, and replaced Motiejunas with Ariza, the Warriors had opened the point difference to 10 points.

When Motaiyunas was off the court, he was a little distraught, and he had some doubts about whether he was suitable for the league.

Kerr was smiling on the bench. With a commander on the field like Zhang Xin, the coach had some decorations off the field.The double-team just now was commanded by Zhang Xin, and the timing was very good. When Zhang Xin was double-teamed by Barbosa, he was helping to defend. Even if Howard passed the ball, it was Zhang Xin who wanted him to pass it. That person, the real threat, has been blocked by Zhang Xin.

Kerr turned to assistant coach Ron Adams: "Ron, are you training these?"

Ron Adams is an old man, the most senior assistant coach in the league, and some people call him the coach's coach, and he is now 70 years old.

Let's take a look at Ron Adams' resume:

In the 92-94 season, he was the assistant coach of the Spurs.At that time, Popovich was also an assistant coach for the Spurs;
94-96 season, 76ers assistant coach;
In the 96-98 season, a scout for the Trail Blazers;

2008-2010, assistant coach of the Thunder;

In the 2010-2013 season, the Bulls assistant coach.

2013-2014 season, Celtics assistant coach;
With such a brilliant resume, he is well-deserved to be called the coach of the coaches. This season, Kerr was hired by Cole to be the assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors.
