Super Small Forward
: Six hundred and nine. A frantic rhythm
Clarkson really didn't expect the superstar to be so shameless, so he bullied a second-year rookie!
The boss **** him for me! Clarkson decisively passed the ball to Liu Ren after halftime.
Harden has an interesting nickname called "the first shooting guard maker", which means that everyone he defends is the first shooting guard.
Generally speaking, Harden's coach will let him defend the weakest link of the opponent's offense, but even Steve Blake can play the peak Wade performance in front of him.
So, the new Rockets head coach John Bickerstaff played a new trick, letting the best defensive Beverley and Ariza to defend other outside lines, and Harden to defend the best outside line of the opponent's offense. Anyway, Harden It is about to be blown up, so Ariza and Beverly have prevented the other two, and only Harden has been blown up.
Young coaches always think so strangely, but it seems that neither the fans nor the management can fault it.
So Harden is defending Liu Ren.
However, Liu Ren did not play Harden alone. D'Antoni will play the inside line at the opening today. The biggest problem for the Rockets this year is the inside line. Of course, they must point to the opponent's biggest problem to break through.
To the disappointment of Clarkson, Liu Ren passed a lob to Green's hands.
Josh Smith is not tall enough, and he has no advantage in facing Green. He can only make a hard top underneath. Green took the ball and made a fake move to attract Josh Smith’s attention. Josh Smith couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe. With the foot, Green slapped the ball again, cut a step forward, peeked forward and made a small throw.
"Huh"
Hit easily.
The biggest weakness of Josh Smith is not just offense. He used to be a defensive player of the best defensive lineup. The Pistons used a three-year 50 million contract to renew his contract after signing and then changing because of his defense. Can help Drummond defend, just like Anthony Davis and Asik, who knows that his defense has become a sieve.
In the opening game, the Rockets started from the outside and the Lakers started from the inside. The styles of the two teams were completely different.
The game began, both teams played their own strength, and in the second round, Harden had the ball.
But the Rockets’ offensive tactics were different. Harden came up and called Howard’s screen. He did a high pick-and-roll at Howard. After the two attracted attention in the high post, Beverly made a touch with Josh Smith on the sideline. cover.
Beverly ran out all of a sudden and got an open position. Harden really has the potential to be a point guard. Beverly just had a pick-and-roll. In fact, before the pick-and-roll was over, Harden had already passed the ball, like a pass. The feeling of guiding teammates to move.
Harden hit the ball to Beverley on the flanks. Although Beverley's offensive ability was awkward, but the open three-pointer was very good, and the open three-pointer shot.
The Rockets opened with a 6-2 lead.
D'Antoni saw Harden's pass, and Harden used the pass to guide his teammates to move, and sent assists, which reminded him of his number one proud disciple-Steve Nash...
In the Rockets' halftime, the Lakers also focused on hitting the opponent's inside.
Who made the Rockets' two insiders become defensive sieves now?
The Lakers played Green last round. After this round, the Lakers began to fight Whiteside.
Easily lifted and hit high, Whiteside was half a head taller than Howard, and he was still standing and playing. Howard was rubbed on the ground just like meeting Yao Ming.
Harden pushed forward slowly in the first two rounds. At this time, he accelerated suddenly and Clarkson did not follow.
Liu Ren hurriedly chased to help defend. At this time, Harden faced Liu Ren who was catching up. He crossed the dribble in front of him, then immediately took a step in the opposite direction and got up to the other side for a layup.
Harden was advancing quickly and suddenly came a European step. The left-hander's European step was too difficult to prevent, and he had to be careful not to foul at any time. Liu Ren couldn't help but he didn't dare to post it, but he caught up. Yes, there is no frontal defensive position, can only watch Harden make a layup.
8 to 4, the Rockets lead 4 points!
The fans at the scene were a little embarrassed. They thought they would press the Rockets, and once again uttered a nasty anger on Howard, mocking Howard in general. Who knows that the opening seems a bit unable to hold the Rockets!
It's all because of one person-James Harden!
Shall we beat Harden first?
Liu Ren thinks this is better. This time Liu Ren did not continue to pass the inside line. After receiving the pass from Clarkson, he gestured and opened the singles!
Liu Ren wanted to use his own way to treat his body, and wanted to commit a foul Harden!
Liu Ren dribbled the ball, accelerated past Harden suddenly, was in a position parallel to the baseline with Harden, and then slowed down.
Liu Ren’s thinking is like this. Harden will definitely catch up after he has passed. This is the best way to defend a player who has passed him. It can interfere with the attacking player’s breakthrough and shooting to a certain extent. Liu Ren Prepare to be like Harden, as long as someone posts it, he will actively post it and commit a foul.
Then something happened that made Liu Ren speechless. After Harden was passed by, he turned his head and took a look...
No other actions...
Liu Ren just rushed into the inside...
Whitesidera went out to avoid being accidentally injured, Liu Ren faced Howard directly.
Silent thoughts are just moments of thought. The game is changing rapidly and anything can happen. When Liu Ren found himself facing Howard, he immediately focused on the small and big body.
There is only one thing left in Howard's defense now, which is jumping!
In addition to jumping, Howard's body resistance can't hold the giant center, and the explosive power will be blown when facing Jordan.
After Liu Ren reached the inside line, he walked slowly into the middle right hand for three times and made a flicker. After deceiving Howard to jump, Liu Ren violently jumped up on the third step and took off against Howard who fell from the air. Howard had no choice but to watch. Liu Ren dunks the ball into the basket through himself!
The fans on the scene finally got to the point and started cheering loudly.
6 to 8, the Lakers turned the point difference into two points.
The center was dunked and the Rockets had no reaction from the outside line. What should they do, but Josh Smith was very upset. After he came to the front court, he said he wanted to avenge his brothers and kept asking for the ball.
Harden reluctantly passed the ball to Josh Smith.
Harden felt desperate for the trades and signings that were considered crazy profitable at the beginning of the last offseason by the management. One Lawson, one Josh Smith, and two other teams did not want to show that there was a problem. Even if it's just picked up for nothing, you can't see everything just picked up!
Just when Harden saw CIC's handsome Josh Smith dribbling from outside the three-point line, he was about to feel desperate, and Josh Smith turned out because he couldn't move Green.
This is Josh Smith. No matter how good his physical fitness is, he is still a power forward. He is still a relatively heavy power forward. His physical fitness is at the level of crushing most of the insiders in the league. .
But he likes to dribble the ball and make a breakthrough, but he is an inside line after all. Nine out of ten times, he can't break through. Then he doesn't know why he doesn't like passing the ball anymore. He just pulls up and shoots without a sudden move...
"Huh"
What surprised everyone was that Josh Smith made a hollow three-pointer against Green!
11 to 6, the Rockets also led the Lakers by 5 points. The Lakers were actually suppressed at home, which is a bit incredible.
The Rockets made another three-pointer, and the Lakers seemed a little overwhelmed. At this time, D'Antoni finally called a timeout.
"Don't worry, don't mess, don't mess, can't enter their rhythm, they will lead a little bit ahead, we still plan to play inside, don't worry, they can't be brought into the situation of chaos." It turned out that D'Antoni feels like it. By the time the players were a little impatient because of the unexpected backwardness, they were worried that the players would start to want to chase points impatiently and enter the rhythm of the Rockets.
The Rockets’ rhythm is a very beautiful landscape in the NBA. Whoever enters their rhythm will get pregnant...
This year's Spurs are very strange, with a mediocre record and a win rate of less than 50%, but they actually beat the Cavaliers and the Thunder, because these two teams have such impetuous players as Irving and Westbrook.
The Rockets' offense is still the tactics of the McHale era. Bickerstaff Jr. came to the Rockets and nothing changed.
However, Bickerstaff Jr. is still the NBA head coach after all. At least he can see that the current situation is advantageous to them, because the previous opponents want to start chasing points regardless of the situation, or give up the previous main post. The slow way of scoring, but use the outside line to fight with them.
Bilongtou... The Rockets said that the teams in the NBA are all hot, and even the Warriors dare to hard steel!
However, after coming back from the timeout, the Lakers were still playing with the rhythm, slowly advancing, slowly to the frontcourt, and passing the ball to Green for a while.
Green singles Josh Smith. After Green made a flicker this time, Josh Smith seemed to have learned the lesson from last time. This time he stepped back decisively to avoid Green turning and facing the basket.
But Green really shot straight this time and made a close shot.
The Lakers' rhythm is very slow, but the Rockets do not matter what the rhythm is. When they get to the frontcourt, they will play various games. The pace is dragged by the Lakers to the slow pace of the Spurs hitting the Pistons ten years ago. However, the Rockets can still continue to wave when they fall.
At this time of the game, everyone has already noticed that the Lakers ignored the Rockets’ various speed-ups and various waves. They just didn’t follow the waves and played inside.
Today the Lakers grabbed the Rockets' inside line to play, which made little Bickerstaff a little depressed, because the Lakers bit them so much and didn't give them a chance to disturb the situation.
The Lakers played on the inside and shot a high percentage. Whether it was Liu Ren, Green or Whiteside, they could basically score inside, although the pace was slow and the score rose slowly.
If the Rockets can shoot from the outside, they will naturally have an advantage. However, the Lakers defense is not a vegetarian. The Rockets also have a strong Harden and today's convulsed Josh Smith. The shooting percentage in the perimeter wave will definitely drop, and gradually the scores of both sides tend to be evenly matched.
As the game progressed, both teams gradually changed into rotations, with Antetokounmpo, Nick Young and Gasol as the backup cores for the Lakers. There are also Korver and Monroe, and the Rockets have Jason Terry, Corey Brewer, Eric Gordon, Harrell and Capela.
Not to mention, the Rockets’ bench lineup is really good. Although they are not as explosive as the talents of the Lakers, they are all powerful players, that is, they are super powerful, and Brewer can score 50 points in a single game. Super counterattack, so the Lakers continue to suppress the rhythm, just don't give the Rockets a chance to disrupt the rhythm!
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams drew a 25-25 tie. Although the Lakers encountered the Rockets' opening in the first quarter, they slowly caught up.
The Rockets played really well, but the Lakers insisted on the tactics that they had already formulated. When the Rockets weren't so accurate, and only Harden worked tirelessly to make fouls, the Lakers' advantage came up.
Rest between festivals.
D'Antoni emphasized to continue to maintain a slow-paced play, D'Antoni wants to play slowly... I have encountered it many times over the past year, but the Lakers still find it weird, but the effect is really good, the Lakers have enough With a tall and fast lineup, even the Warriors dare not easily fall into position with the Lakers. Often, the Lakers have great victories in this slow-paced play.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to send in the second team, Monroe singled Capella in the interior.
Monroe’s basic skills are really good. It’s not for no reason why Popovich fancyed him. If it weren’t for the offseason, Aldridge, who was seriously the league’s first power forward, was interested in the Spurs, Popovich Vicki will definitely give Monroe the contract that hit Aldridge.
It's not that Monroe is not good enough, but Aldridge is too good. No matter which team Aldridge wants to go to, as long as he wants, that team will regard him as the first choice.
However, according to people familiar with the matter, Turbovic is still very interested in Monroe. If the Lakers are willing, Popovich is willing to come up with some high-quality three-pointers to trade with the Lakers, but the Lakers are not very interested here and they don't want to take Monroe. Sent to the Spurs.
Popovich didn’t complain when he saw Monroe playing off the bench, and seemed to be enjoying it. He scored ten points per game, shot a high percentage, and had the ability to organize rebounds. Although the defense is not that good, but that Where the body is, there will be bad defense in the Spurs system? And not greedy for merit, working hard, not complaining about the ball and playing time, and it is necessary to be willing to cut pay. For Popovich, Monroe is simply Duncan's perfect successor.
Capela is a jumping man, similar to the bankrupt version of Jordan, even the bankrupt version of Howard can not be called the name, defense relies on bounce, rebounds by bounce, everything relies on bounce, Monroe's solid body easily resists the order Hand put basket...
The strength is a bit big...
Put the basket and fly...
Monroe was a little embarrassed, and Harrell grabbed the rebound.
Jason Terry took the ball and pushed it forward. The Rockets' bench was very scattered because of the small ball. All four players stood outside the three-point line and only one Capella was inside the three-point line.
Jason Terry passed the ball to Capela, and then Jason Terry used the cover of Capela holding the ball and ran to the baseline. Harrell came up to Jason Terry at this position. Blocked a bit, when Jason Terry ran from the baseline to the wing, he easily received the ball, and Jason Terry, who got the ball, immediately broke into the penalty area with a fierce step.
Jason Terry made a deep impression on the Lakers. In the 2011 playoffs, he helped Nowitzki swept the Lakers with a three-pointer that was accurate enough to explode. He broke through and the Lakers naturally During the contraction, Jason Terry passed the ball directly to Harrell, who pulled it to the bottom, and Harrell took the ball at this time with a three-pointer.
This tactic is very smooth!
D'Antoni took a look at the old Bickerstaff who was not expressing any tactical opinions today. The tiger father has no dogs! Although little Bickerstaff has little coaching experience, his tactical guidance ability is good.
It's a pity that Harrell's three-pointer is not particularly good, and he missed the open shot.
Harrell missed a three-pointer, and the contracted Antetokounmpo jumped up to grab the rebound. Whiteside was off, and finally it was Antetokounmpo's rebound time.
Antetokounmpo himself steadily advanced to the frontcourt and continued to suppress the rhythm. After the Lakers won the championship, they were stronger and more confident, and they became one of the best teams in the league.
Antetokounmpo pushed forward, the Lakers quickly opened up the space, Nick Young and McCollum stood at the two bottom corners, Gasol stuck in the basket, and Monroe went up to Antetokounmpo Do cover.
Antetokounmpo used Monroe's screen and quickly passed the ball to Gasol. It was Harrell who defended Gasol. Gasol played singles, and the Rockets who played a small lineup immediately shrank.
Gasol passed the ball to Nick Young, but the Rockets contracted and expanded very quickly, and Corey Brewer immediately defended it.
At this time, the benefits of the Rockets' small lineup are reflected. Although the Rockets' lineup is small, it is really fast. The same goes for rotation defense.
The Lakers made a pick-and-roll from a high position to a combination of inside and outside. They are already playing quite well, but they haven't gotten rid of the Rockets' rotation. Nick Young took the ball when he wanted to pass.
Who is Nick Young? Singles king!
He is the only person in the Lakers' second team who can stray casually. It doesn't matter who he is to defend, don't even think about going out when the ball is in his hands. He dribbles the ball and makes three-pointers.
"Bang" hit the iron.
It was a little sudden. The Lakers were caught by the Rockets' four small men over three two meters, and Capela grabbed a defensive rebound.
The Rockets attacked, played a position and play almost the same as in the first round, and four people scattered Capella's middle support. Jason Terry held the ball on the baseline after a continuous pick-and-roll without the ball.
In the last round, Jason Terry took the ball and directly attacked. This round, Jason Terry came up to get the ball, walked around the high post for a half circle and passed the ball back to Eric Gordon who ran out of the gap.
Eric Gordon made an open jumper... and then saw Antetokounmpo's giant body fly over, with a fast bounce and long hands, he took the ball directly in the air!
"by!"
The Lakers fans at the scene were shocked. The first round of this draft pick, which was exchanged with the team’s precious three-pointer Meeks, has grown into such a powerful all-around ball-handling "big" over the past two years. Center"!
Today’s game has a lot of attention in China. The Lakers play the Rockets. They have always been very popular games in China. Although Kobe did not play, it was the same with Liu Ren.
In the United States, the attention of this game is not low, Howard once again returned to Staples Center, people want to see how the Lakers will deal with Howard, or Howard played explosive performance in the Staples Center.
Even if it wasn't Howard's performance, it should be Liu Ren or Gasol's performance. Unexpectedly, Antetokounmpo started to show off his talents that he had already begun to deliver on both ends of the offense and defense.
Just now the quick footsteps and excellent judgment on the ball that have expanded from the inside line to reinforce defenses have made many teams that lack the core at the bottom begin to prepare for the next year's high draft picks to negotiate with the Lakers.
Antetokounmpo grabbed the ball directly, which caused headaches for the official staff of the technical station. Was it a steal or a block? How about a rebound? Said it was a steal, but this was Eric Gordon’s shot...
After Antetokounmpo caught the shrimp ball, he did not rush to counterattack, but continued his frenzied rhythm, which made the Rockets very uncomfortable.
If the Lakers counterattacked the ball directly, the Rockets would attack immediately. They would not have any thoughts about being blocked just now, but now the Lakers are playing slowly, making them unconsciously think of Antetokounmpo’s abnormality. A strong defense has a big impact on their morale.
Antetokounmpo advanced to the frontcourt. After his own team was in place, he easily passed Jason Terry in a big stride, attracted Corey Brewer who defended Nick Young, and then Antetuo Kumbo looked at Nick Young as if he was going to pass to Nick Young, and deceived Harrell who was defending Gasol near the free throw line.
As a result, Antetokounmpo was passed to Gasol at the top arc!
Gasol's slowly adjusted three-pointer hit!
Gasol has also been improving himself. He occasionally shot three-pointers last season. Starting this year, he has made relatively more shots. Basically, he will shoot two in every game. The shooting rate is not bad. Three can score one. This year has broken the career record of three-pointers in a single season. With this three-pointer, Gasol has made 10 three-pointers this season.
The Rockets' offense was still so simple and decisive. The Lakers didn't respond after a goal and continued their offense.
The Rockets were very fast. As soon as the ball came over, Jason Terry immediately took the ball and hit Nick Young at a 45-degree angle on the right.
Jason Terry is old after all, and his strength began to decline after a few minutes of running in the second half of the first quarter.
But Jason Terry has always been very confident, and directly hit three points...
This shot feels crooked. Jason Terry's height is much worse than Nick Young. Self-confidence is good, but you have to be old! Jason Terry's jump shot was not as high as Nick Young, standing and stretching his hands, he could only lean back a lot, which was scary at first glance.
Antetokounmpo leaped high, trying to grab a rebound...
Monroe also wants to rebound...
McCollum also wants to rebound...
As a result, Jason Terry did not touch...
Monroe, Antetokounmpo and McCollum knocked down together~www.readwn.com~ but the ball fell into the hands of Gasol, who was not planning to fight for this rebound.
Antetokounmpo is very resentful. We, a substitute who often takes turns, are also pointing to good numbers this year to renew their contract early next summer.
Monroe is also very grudge, you Gasol has already won so many honors, has already achieved fame, and also won the Lakers pension renewal contract. There are non-tradable clauses, and you actually grabbed your own small bench rebound.
McCollum is also very resentful, his thinking is similar to Antetokounmpo, how can he be worthy of himself if the data sent to him is not grabbed...
The three chose to ignore Gasol and ran directly to the Rockets halftime. Nick Young was almost off, leaving Gasol alone in the backcourt.
The Rockets thought that the Lakers were about to fight back and quickly returned to defense, but saw Gasol slowly push the ball forward...
The Rockets players did not see Gasol’s messy expression in the wind when he ran to the front court after his team’s three outside lines and another center directly did not receive the ball, but the fans on the scene watched. When it arrived, Gasol's next point guard commander moved forward while gesturing to direct the movement, which made the fans laugh instantly...
