Chapter 274 One inch short, one inch dangerous

The Rockets played four minutes in the first quarter of the game against the Celtics, but the score on the field was only 10:4. The offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, but the Rockets were smoother than their opponents.

Six attacks, four wins, plus two free throws. Although the Rockets' number of attacks is not much mercury, this success rate is enough for them to firmly control the situation and score on the field.

The Rockets' home performance is not outstanding in the West, but those who can win in the Toyota Center are not good at it. Now Rivers and the Celtics can clearly feel that the other side's attack and defense here are very fierce.

Especially on the defensive end, almost every advance of the Celtics will be very awkward. Van Gundy's shouts on the sidelines did not hide it at all. He just asked his players to stick it up as much as possible and make trouble for the opponent. Even if it is a foul, it can't make the Celtics comfortable. Facing the United The league can rank in the top three in terms of defensive strength, and Rivers' team is now a little at a loss.

On the Celtics' side, it may be the first time that they feel so uncomfortable on the offensive end, even more awkward than when they met the Pistons at the beginning of the season. Almost every shot was forced to throw in the entanglement, which made them only hit two of the seven shots in the first four minutes. One!

This bad hit rate has made Rivers' eyebrows almost twisted, but he also knows that roiling can't solve any problems now. The kids on the field are not taking the game seriously, but the opponent's defense level is very tight, and the close defense is very tight. It's really unacceptable to find an opportunity. Easy.

Thanks to Pierce's personal ability under Battier's close-held defense, he used his two blocking cooperation with Chen Feng, and with his super touch, he fired at a 45-degree angle and hit two mid-range jump shots.

However, Pierce's shooting rate was only two of four shots. Except for him, the remaining guys were all dumb, especially Jefferson. He played very badly today, and all two shots were blocked.

If the first cover was an accident, then the second cover was completely hot in Jefferson's own head. Originally, when he and Chen Feng had a crossover, he should have passed the ball. As a result, this guy didn't know what to think. After receiving the ball, he turned back to the basket and directly prepared to fill the basket with one hand. It is.

There was no cover, no back-running pass, and no good pass. So he held the ball strongly. YAO did not even move his position. He slapped him head-on, and Jefferson's one-handed catch was instantly fanned back to the half.

It was such a block that directly gave McGrady a chance to fight back quickly. Although Rondo and Sprewell were chasing back desperately, no one could stop the Rockets' No. 1 raging action of the basket.

Rivers was also forced to call for a timeout. He knew that his gang of kids was a little confused now. Whether it was the tactics he was used to at ordinary times or individual combat, they were fiercely restrained by the rocket.

Pierce naturally goes without saying that Battier is like a plaster, sticking to him anytime and anywhere, no matter whether he is running or receiving the ball. As long as Pierce moves a little, Battier will follow him like a shadow.

Those two shots relied on Chen Feng's card position to get out of the mobile phone meeting. Even so, Battier's interference almost messed up Pierce's shooting rhythm. Fortunately, those two shots went into the basket smoothly.

However, the biggest headache for Rivers now is that Jefferson's performance is completely curbed, and an offensive point on the inside line cannot be opened. In addition, Chen Feng's catch on the ball is also stuck by the other side. Rondo wanted to hand over the ball to Chen Feng several times, because of Alsto's entanglement and the Rockets inner line transposition defense, which can only be done. That's it.

Rivers had considered such a situation before the game. Van Gundy's old fried dough sticks will definitely not let go of the Celtics' inner and comfortable attack, and they will definitely do some damage. However, Rivers did not expect that the always stable Jefferson's position would be in chaos first. He was blocked by YAO twice, and he still carried it in defense. Foul.

That's also because YAO's back attack on the inside line. Jefferson wanted to hit back too much, and then he started too fast in defense. He gave the opponent two free throws for nothing, and he was also fouled.

"Al, come down and have a rest. I need you to calm down." Rivers rarely does such a direct substitution, but he must let Jefferson calm down on the sidelines at this moment.

Although Jefferson looked very annoyed, he had to squat on the bench obediently. This guy also knew that his performance in the last few minutes was really abnormal, and he completely lost his usual rhythm of the game.

Rivers doesn't have time to care about Jefferson's emotional problems. He must calm down all his wild guys, at least let them steady, and can't beat them as brainlessly as he did just now.

"Patrick, you play, now the defensive task of the inside line should also be adjusted. Chen Feng, go and keep an eye on YAO, try not to let him shoot comfortably, and start to put pressure on him from the moment he catches the ball!"

In the face of Van Gundy's double core, Rivers can only push the danger as far as possible. The inside line of the Celtics can no longer be so raged by their opponents, and staring at YAO Ming is the most critical point.

Rivers can't guarantee that his tactics will work, but now compared with Perkins and Jefferson, Chen Feng is more reliable. At least this boy is still very clear now.

Although he failed to score points in the first few minutes of the game, Chen Feng's cover in the attack allowed Pierce to find two shooting opportunities. This was also a rare offensive cooperation between the Celtics in the previous chaos, and his penetration on the inside line was also very timely. If Jefferson could pass the ball just now, Chen Feng could Zhuwan Howard has the opportunity to change his position and defend himself. Although the boy is not as crazy as usual, among the few people on the court, he may know best what he should do in his mind. Therefore, at this time, Rivers hopes that on the defensive end, Chen Feng can disturb the rhythm of YAO Ming, at least he wants to let YAO Ming say goodbye. Twist a little.

Chen Feng listened to Rivers' arrangement and didn't say anything. He just looked at the Rockets. The compatriot in the No. 11 uniform was now listening to what Van Gundy said, but the cheers around him did not stop.

If Chen Feng only met the fellow villager from the video before the game, then now Chen Feng has a very intuitive understanding of the big man. The height of more than two or twenty meters can definitely cause big trouble for any team at both ends of attack and defense, let alone If you have such a height and let you have the beast-like bounce ability of Joe, then the earth is no longer your main battlefield. Not to mention Chamberlain, animals that can sleep 20,000 women in a lifetime do not belong to the category of normal people. YA O Ming is already very flexible in the big grid, and with the soft touch, not to mention Jefferson is a little annoyed. Even if Chen Feng is looking at it, it feels very tricky. After all, there is a height gap of more than 20 centimeters, and it is really difficult to block it.

In the first few minutes of the game, Chen Feng has been changing positions with Jefferson, trying to pull the other party's movement in this way. After all, it is definitely not so easy for such a big man to make up for the defense back and forth.

But Jefferson was also a little angry when playing today. There was no problem with the two people changing positions, but Jefferson chose to work alone. As a result, he was not tempered by the two big hats. Now he was pressed by Rivers to the bench and squatted. Chen Feng could only expect Perkins not to be as smart as Jefferson. Hot.

Few people can hear the strategy of the coaches on both sides of the court. Even if the broadcast technology has reached this now, few people will take the initiative to explore what tactics the head coach will say when he is suspended. More people are still paying attention to the process of the game, rather than the fighting skills of the coaches on both sides, so Van Gundy and Rivers is arranging tactics, but those fans of Houston are singing the victory song belonging to the Rockets.

"Arocketman, Arocketman!" The supporters of the Rockets are now summoning the glorious moment that once belonged to them in this way. They are also looking forward to the guys in front of them who can help the Rockets go further this season, especially in the main The field should continue to win!

The shouts and songs of the fans fill the whole Toyota Center, but in addition to the fans, there are some people in the stadium who are watching such a game from another angle, and those people, like Xie Miaomiao, are staying at the media table. The focus of their discussion is also focused on YAO Ming and Chen Feng. On the body.

"Thank you, beauty, in the first few minutes of the game, it seems that the novice you are with has no chance to perform for the time being. The whole process is completely playing according to the usual habits of the Rockets. The Celtics are crushed to death. According to Zhang's guidance, we are playing too reasonable, and Bos Suddenly, I can't find any way to solve all this now, including the big man you like.

The chattering guy around him has been nagging since the beginning of the game, which makes Xie Miaomiao have the impulse to flatten his nose with the camera in his hand, but his opinion does represent the thoughts of many people.

At least most of the Chinese reporters around Xie Miaomiao think so. Between YAO Ming and Chen Feng, they are obviously more inclined to the former. Although they are all Chinese, YAO Ming is an old friend they have been tracking for three or four years, and only two or three people support Xie Miaomiao's view. However, God knows whether they want to get close to beautiful women. Now it may be only Xie Miaomiao who still thinks that this will be a close match, and it will not become a one-man show of YAO Ming, but she is the only one who thinks so now.

"A group of idiots, idiots, if the Celtics are so easy to be defeated, then how can they kill the top six in the East with Chen Feng's absence for a month, and the whole lineup has been pinched for less than five months, those bandits in green clothes, Is it so easy to conquer? Let's all dream!"

Now Xie Miaomiao is only looking forward to the next game. The fact can slap those idiots' faces for her, but just like Rivers's problem of scratching his head, she can also feel the trouble caused by YAO Ming to the insiders of the Celtics. "YAO Ming is too tall. I really don't know what that kid will think of. "I mean."

Rivers and others don't understand that there is an old Chinese saying that one inch is long and one inch strong, but they also don't know that there is another saying, one inch short, one inch dangerous, there is a bald wild boy who wants to take risks...
