Chapter 159 The ruler above the basket

Turning around, although Stephen made a goal, Yao Ming caused another foul by Oberto. After making both free throws, Yao Ming had already scored nine points in less than two minutes of the second half, and also caused fouls between Nestrovic and Oberto respectively. What is dominance? This is called dominance.

In this way, the Rockets not only tied back the lagging score, but also surpassed the past two points. Moreover, Yao Ming's strength is still as unstoppable, simple, rough, fast and effective. This is the inside offense. Once a player of Yao Ming's level is killed by a player at the basket, there is only one way to foul. If even a foul cannot be stopped, there will be no way.[]

**Vicci hesitated for a moment, calling a timeout, but there was nothing to arrange. He called a timeout just to interrupt the opponent's scoring momentum? Although he had already predicted Yao Ming's strength and saw all this in the recent Rockets game video, when he really faced Yao Ming, **Vicci felt that he still looked down on this big man from the East.

The Spurs have never had such a strong and powerful big player. Even in the "two towers" period of their heyday, the inside line dared not be said to be so powerful that no one could defeat. Otherwise, the Lakers would not have won three consecutive championships. The two Spurs, which can be killed by one O'Neal, could not have done anything.

Although the foul tactic was invented by Mr. Nelson, it was carried forward by **Vic. Why did the Spurs raise so many inside players in the year of winning the championship just to deal with O'Neal? However, as O'Neal grew older, although no one could underestimate his power when he was on the court, he could no longer maintain the same threat throughout the game.

Meeting such an insolvent player again made **Vic vaguely think of the memories of his past when he was hiding in the video room alone and studying a player day and night. However, he soon realized that Yao Ming was not O'Neal yet, and his strength was not as good as O'Neal. The two could only be said to be of different types, but their power in the inside was of the same power. However, Yao Ming had a very important flaw. His physical strength made him unable to maintain such a state in the whole game. So *Vic just told the players on the court that they should defend more fiercely when defending, and it doesn't matter if they can't defend it. Just waste his physical strength.

Paying too much attention to Yao Ming, this gave Howard a lot of offensive opportunities. He shot two goals on both sides of the forty-five-degree angle twice in a row, further widening the gap in the score. Yao Ming was steadily guarding the penalty area, and the Spurs' offense was only relied on Ginobili and Stephen to fire outside, and the rebounding outside shooting rate can be imagined.

Robert Horry tried to shoot inside again, but only added a stat to Yao Ming on the block. Mutombo, wearing a suit, sat on the court. Seeing Yao Ming's blocking had his own style, he shook his finger off the court. This was his own gesture. Anyone else used it was to make a foul. Stephen had tried this with his personal experience.

When Yao Ming leaned against Oberto's top defense and hooked the ball into the basket far away from the basket, he was immediately broadcasted the abc of the game

Bill Walton, a commentator of espn TV, called it "Tian Gou". He is a fan of Yao Ming, a well-known fact.

Moreover, although Yao Ming's hook is not as good as the real Tiang Hook, the distance of the attack is far, it can no longer be considered a small hook. Let's just be considered a big hook. This kind of offensive method is particularly useful when it is determined to defend against the kind of resolute defense and is not allowed to enter the basket space. Moreover, players do not have to work hard to get the position, and they can save energy.

With Yao Ming's hooking fans, **Vic stood up and called a timeout. There was no way, the score had been widened to more than five points. The purpose of the timeout was to strengthen one side's defense, and also solve the offensive problem.

**Vicci first replaced Robert Horry with Mohamed. Although Robert Horry's offensive ability is stronger than Mohamed, he has played more than one quarter of the game and is a little physically exhausted. At the same time, in this situation, instead of pursuing that little dispensable offensive ability, it is better to replace a more physical player to fight against the opponent.

At the same time, **Vicci asked Stephen and Ginobili to rush to the basket bravely and not be afraid of being blocked. Yao Ming's blocking ability is not outstanding. It can be seen from his average number of blocks. Stephen and Ginobili looked at each other and said to each other, coach, you don't know what medicine you have taken now. You don't have to try it. It feels like you can reach your hand in front of you as long as you rush over. This feeling is too terrible. Of course, Yao Ming was not like this before. Stephen has never confronted him. Not to mention that Ginobili has fought against Yao Ming countless times, but he has never felt Yao Ming's power as he has today.

However, the coach said this, and they could only obey. Just cover it. Maybe it could cause the opponent to foul. This is a chance of 55 and it is his own home court. After returning to the court, Stephen easily squeezed Kisbogans aside. Although everyone was a second round pick, Stephen would not have the heart to hold on. He rushed towards Yao Ming with a courageous attitude as if he was wearing a ** bag.

Yao Ming had already felt Stephen's strength. Seeing Stephen rushing towards him, Yao Ming didn't want to resist Stephen. He immediately turned his body, but his hand reached out to block Stephen. When Stephen saw Yao Ming give up a little bit of his position, he immediately jumped up and jumped in the air, made a pulling action in the air, avoided Yao Ming's block and dunked the ball into the basket.

Mutombo shook his head gently on the court. He didn't like this method. In his opinion, for this kind of attack, Yao Ming should block the opponent's impact, instead of avoiding the side-to-side block. Cover is a game of brave people. If you dodge, you will lose the best time to block, which is very undesirable.

"That kid is very powerful, Yao may not be able to withstand it." Ryan Bowen sat next to him and explained to Yao Ming, and there was another sentence he didn't say, for fear that Mutombo's face would not look good, that is, Mutombo is just a defensive player, and even if he fouls, there is no problem. Yao Ming is not good. He is carrying the offensive tasks of the whole team, and he can waste valuable fouls on one defense.

After Stephen scored a goal, he seemed to interrupt Yao Ming's touch. Although Yao Ming successfully reached the position in the next attack, he failed to hit the shot. Stephen jumped up and grabbed the rebound, and then threw it directly to Ginobili, who was almost down, completed a fast break, and narrowed the score again.

During the game, Yao Ming suddenly transferred the ball to Lutherhead on the other side. Hyde performed far higher than his draft pick this season under Van Gundy's coaching. At the same time, this is also the main reason why the Rockets resolutely gave up Joanbarri. After receiving Yao Ming's pass, Hyde jumped out of the three-point line directly. As the ball entered the frame hollow, the Rockets widened the gap again.

The scores are rising alternately. The Spurs have an advantage in Stephen and Ginobili, but the Rockets' advantages in the interior are also very obvious. Although the Spurs are difficult to attack, their victory depends on the maturity of the system. The Rockets have extremely firm tactical goals and obvious advantages in the interior, which is difficult to solve and cannot be matched.

However, the scene was extremely ugly. Both teams were teams that used defense to drive offense, and the defense was so tight that it was suffocating. However, this situation made Jeff Van Gundy frown on the sidelines, because in this case, the gap between the scores could not be widened. So wouldn't it be even more difficult to wait for the opponent's main force to return to the court? Moreover, Yao Ming's physical strength was not enough to support him in the entire second half. Van Gundy looked at the time and decided to replace Yao Ming one minute earlier than the original tactics.

Van Gundy is such a coach. He is an elegant representative of diligence and ability to make up for his shortcomings. From his two deep dark circles, it can be seen that the league is so hard as he is in the coach position. He is the only one. His style is to formulate strict targeted tactics before the game, and then formulate a reaction strategy for how to react when something happens. When the game comes, it strictly follows the tactics. It takes a minute to change people, and when the opponent makes any changes, he has to take out a small note to see how to counter the opponent.

According to normal circumstances, Van Gundy will never change his tactics easily, but sometimes he has to change it. Every time at this time, Van Gundy is very confused because once the tactics are temporarily changed, there will be more than one quarter of the game, and at least half of the small notes will be used. This is what he is most troubled by, who is not good at responding to on-the-spot changes.

Soon, Yao Ming's breathing began to thicken and heavier, and his pace on the court began to slow down. Although the move was still stable, he scored four points in a row with free throws and free throws. After increasing his score to twenty, Van Gundy replaced Swift with Swift. Although twenty is not too much, you should know that there is still one quarter of the game that has not been played.

Now that the offense is increasingly tilting towards the outside, it is very difficult for an inside player to get twenty points, not to mention that most of these twenty points were obtained in the third quarter. Even Nessler, who has always played the opposite tune with Bill Walton, has to admit that Yao Ming has now entered the ranks of top players in the league.

Although Swift, who was replaced by the Rockets, was very physically stunning, but his basketball IQ was very low. Apart from dunks, his other offensive methods were almost zero. He had just played for less than ten seconds, and he was judged to be a foul in an attempt to block Stephen and gave Stephen two free throws.

Back to the offensive end, after the pick-and-roll was misaligned, facing Stephen's defense, Swift actually wanted to dunk Stephen's head, but was blocked by Stephen's strong big cap. The arrogance that had just appeared disappeared. When he came back, Stephen taught him a lesson again with a dunk after a breakthrough, letting Swift know that when he was on the court, whether it was offense or defense, the basket was his own territory.
