One Guard

Chapter 724 : Who killed who

When Rudy Gobert, who was back on the court in the last two minutes, flew Terrence Jones’ buzzer shot fan out of the baseline, the red light on the backboard also lit up, and the first quarter ended!

The Rockets did not get the big lead as imagined, but fell behind by 9 points! The Mavericks’ more blooming style of play makes the Rockets’ defense unable to find any focus.

Man-to-man? Easily damaged by pick-and-roll. Fully target Yiyang? Yiyang will find opportunities for others.

After the first quarter of the game, all 10 players on the Mavericks have scored. On the Rockets’ side, only 4 people can score.

McHale is dumbfounded. Does the Mavericks really look like a team that has just played two overtimes and immediately back-to-back games? It seems that their physical fitness has not been affected at all!

It was not affected because Carlisle’s rotation time was stuck very accurately. Everyone will be replaced when they feel a little tired, and so on. In this way, the Mavericks always have the most energetic players on the court.

McHale didn’t have the ability to make rotations. In fact, the eight-man rotation alone made him somewhat unable to find North.

“In the second quarter, Terrence, you and Motel change positions. I want you to play the fourth position, and Motel you play center! Smith, do what you should do in the third position! It’s just nine points, we just have to If you slow down immediately, you will definitely be able to exceed the score! We have no reason to lose this game, so I cheer up!”

McHale finally got nervous. Relaxing in front of the Mavericks is the most stupid thing in the world!

However, his lineup does not seem to be suitable for the current situation.

The deterrence of Motai Yunas in the three-second zone is obviously not enough. His only role is to pull Gobert out of the penalty zone. However, this can be easily cracked with a simple change of defense.

Terrence Jones, graduated from the prestigious Kentucky school, the proud student of John Calipari. He was even considered the top pick in the 2011 draft. But in the end Jones chose to play in the NCAA for one more year and withdrew from the 2011 draft. Facts have also proved that his talent is far from reaching the level of champion.

But even so, McHale trusted him very much. Even in the first quarter, he almost became a colander on the defensive end.

As for Josh Smith, no one will question the ability of this guy at his peak. But this year when the Pistons cut him and got back on track, the former “Eagle King” was pushed to the forefront.

At this time, letting Josh come out to play a small forward may not be a suitable choice. His shooting ability from beyond the three-point line is not as threatening as Ariza, after all, his three-point shooting this season is only 31% left.

McHale’s lineup is full of loopholes in Carlisle’s view. But this is McHale’s decision. He decided to use such a lineup to equalize the 9-point difference.

So as soon as the second quarter came up, the Rockets shot the ball.

Harden wanted to break into the post and make a foul, but Gobert was very smart and didn’t make a shot or a collision. Helpless, Harden had to pass the ball to Josh Smith.

Josh couldn’t help but shoot, he just shoots outside the three-point line! Iguodala did not expect Josh to be so straightforward, and his interference was indeed a step slower.

However, Josh himself is not a high three-pointer, but he still failed to make the ball.

Compared to Ariza, Josh has a higher desire to shoot, but he is not necessarily more accurate than Ariza. When Harden needed the right to shoot, another guy who averaged fourteen or five shots per game might not be a good thing for the Rockets.

When the offense failed, McHale pinned his hopes on the defense.

However, the Rockets’ defense, starting from Harden to Motel Yunus, may only be seen by Beverley.

The physical quality of Motai Yunas makes him often only bullied on the defensive end. Slow and soft, it is difficult for such a big man to survive in the current league.

Terrence Jones was definitely an explosive defender in college. He was able to defend the third and fourth positions at the same time, and his outstanding explosiveness allowed him to stage a show off in the market.

However, after arriving in the NBA, Jones’ explosiveness abounds, and it has become no longer uncommon. His inconsistent positioning made him very struggling.

As for Josh…maybe at his peak he was dominant on both offense and defense. But there is no doubt that if Josh is still at the peak, he will not be in the Rockets roster.

From the second position to the fifth position, none of the Rockets can defend. In this way, McHale actually counted on their defense to be successful.

Without mercy from his subordinates, Yiyang then proceeded to the basket with Gobert’s solid cover. According to the tactical arrangement, Josh made up the defense.

However, Yiyang turned around with a very smooth back, and he finished with Josh.

After reaching the basket, Yiyang was not afraid to face the Lithuanian with a tall wingspan. A relaxed drawbar layup, Yiyang avoided Motel’s block.

With 11 points difference, Yiyang’s goal officially established the Mavericks’ double-digit advantage!

The Houston Rockets’ defense is in vain, especially on the inside, and there is simply no one who can stand up.

No, maybe the “European Warcraft” on the bench with a height of only 2.03 meters can improve the Rockets’ defense. In fact, Joey Dorsey is also the only Rockets player whose positive and negative values ​​are positive in this game so far.

However, the energetic Dorsey has never had a chance since he was replaced in the first quarter. God knows why McHale turned a blind eye to really useful players.

The situation on the Mavericks’ side is just the opposite of that of the Rockets. Every one of them that can play is a useful player for you!

Under the tacit understanding of the defense and defense, the Rockets’ offense was difficult. Although in the end, Harden still relied on the old way of making fouls to get the chance to stand on the free throw line. But this, after all, is not a way for the Rockets to stabilize their offense.

McHale missed Howard very much at this time, but in fact, when Howard was there, the Rockets also had the problem of mismatching people.

Harden’s two points earned by fouling and fouling were turned into ashes by Yiyang’s pass in a blink of an eye.

After Yiyang broke through, he grabbed the ball with one hand and started three steps to prepare for a layup. Just when everyone leaned towards him, the No. 1 defender cleverly used a back pass to deliver the “ammunition” to Iguodala’s handle. in.

Iguodala was not polite. After he received the basketball from the middle, he jumped up and smashed with one hand!

Iguodala dared to do this when the inside was overcrowded. This shows that there is no such thing as deterrence in the Rockets’ inside defense.

“Energetic dunks! God, what are the Rockets players doing!? They actually let a back-to-back team do whatever they want in the three-second zone!”

“When Dwight was there, people thought that he lost his dominance. Now that Dwight is gone, Rockets fans should miss him very much.” O’Neal smiled, although the appearance of the Warriors this year has brought the NBA into the game. “Small ball era”, but a strong center is still very useful for a team.

Looking at the current Rockets, they can’t put any pressure on their opponents on the defensive end.

Just 3 minutes later, the Mavericks dunked again for the home fans. Only this time, the person who completed the dunk was the old Carter who came off the bench.

Yiyang broke through to the right wing of the court, where he had already succeeded in three consecutive emergency stop jumpers from that position. So this time, the Rockets’ defense all rushed towards Yiyang.

Yiyang stared at the basket, but his hand hit the ground to his side.

The basketball passed through the gap between Beverly and Motai Yunas. The Rockets’ midway door opened. Old Carter cut in and received the basketball from the front. He was unlucky and had to buckle when he got up!

Josh Smith rushed diagonally, preparing to use a block dunk to dampen the Mavericks’ morale. If you put it in the past, Carter would definitely choose to fight the **** in front of him. But now, the old Carter knows to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

In the air, Carter leaned back just to avoid Josh’s blockage. Straighten your arms and dunk the ball into the basket smoothly!

This season, as Carter gets older and his playing time decreases, Carter basically hasn’t dunked much.

Last season, Carter could occasionally give everyone a double-handed dunk, but this season, Carter’s dunk times have been significantly reduced, and his dunk power is not as good as before.

But as long as he can buckle, there will always be cheers from the fans.

The Rockets are completely messed up, they don’t know how to defend. Yiyang’s pass can send the opportunity to any corner!

In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Carlisle finally replaced Yiyang. At this time, the Rockets have fallen behind the Mavericks by as much as 15 points.

McHale seems to see a glimmer of hope. Yiyang is not there, the Mavericks should stop for a while!

But less than 30 seconds after Yiyang left the field, the referee’s hasty whistle came from the field.

“Shelvin Mark did not fear Beverly’s toughness! The two guards launched a beastly duel. In the end, Mark relied on Beverly to complete a layup and got a chance to hit a three-pointer!”

After Mark scored, he slammed his fist. This move naturally won more than 20,000 fans on the scene cheered fiercely.

Sitting on the bench wiping sweat, Yiyang smiled, and the Mavericks’ rhythm has been fully played out. Now, even if he is temporarily absent, the Rockets don’t want to get any chance.

When the game reached the fourth quarter there were only eight rotating Rockets, but because of physical problems, they were losing ground.

Joey Dorsey looked at McHale expectantly at the end of the bench, but McHale never looked at his corner.

In the end, until the Rockets fell behind by 20 points and completely collapsed, McHale replaced the energetic center.

“The Rockets removed the main players, and they gave up. This is a shameful night for the Rockets. They tasted it, the Mavericks’ unique bench depth!” Barkley said and looked at it. Today’s data sheet.

“The Mavericks scored in double figures with eight players. Yiyang, the highest scoring player, scored 22 points, and Gobert, the lowest scoring player, also had 10 points. Everyone scored very evenly and had a high shooting percentage. Even the bench players can score immediately after standing up. !”

“Eight people scored in double figures, Coach Carlisle very cleverly averaged the pressure on everyone, so that everyone’s consumption is not big. Unbelievable, the Mavericks can already play the team to this level. “O’Neal has nothing to refute. The Mavericks’ depth of lineup completely kills the Rockets.

“Coach Carlisle is not enough. You have to have a point guard who is as magical as Yi.” Barkley looked at Yiyang and then at McHale, who was full of black lines.

The awesome Houston Rockets, exhausted to beat you, can’t beat you. They really deserve to be ranked sixth in the Western Conference. ()
