1033 The difference is obvious
The Rockets' outside defense was dizzy by the opponent at the beginning. The players were unable to determine what the opponent wanted to do and could not find the focus of the defense. This was Adelman's dereliction of duty.
In this case, when it is difficult to distinguish which head hurts the team more, the coach must clearly tell the players which head to look at and which head to put. Even if the decision is wrong, it is much better than letting the players run around like headless flies.
The problem is very serious. You can't figure out whether it was a three-pointer or a violent slam dunk that Howard jumped high after a long shadow in the air.
This is very morale-harm.
Scola was particularly at a loss. He didn't know whether he should go out or stay with Howard. It was too late to find a coach. The Rockets' bench was on the other half of the court, and Adelman would not stand up and walk on the sidelines just as the game started.
Receiving Scola's helpless gaze, Xiao Han had to make a quick decision. He immediately gave Scola a firm look, which told him to insist on what he was doing now.
Then, Xiao Han made a gesture, and the Rockets' outside line immediately rotated. Bathir, who was in charge of Pitrus, immediately moved towards Tekoglu.
There was an open space on the court, but it was the team's fifth attack point. Tkoglu did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball, but this was equivalent to handing over the problem to Pitrus.
Although the shooting tactic should have an opportunity to take decisive action, this is the team's first offense after all, and Pitrus believes that it is difficult for him to take on this important task.
This is not just a psychological problem. In theory, Pitrus's skills are enough, and his average three-point shooting percentage can reach 35%. This is just his statistics this season. As a French end player, his real shooting percentage must be higher than this. However, this is Pitrus' first season when he came to the Magic. Although he relied on defense to take the starting position, it is actually not stable, and his teammates do not trust him. This can be seen from his average of less than 10 points per game.
Although he is not an excellent ball-holder, Pitrus has considerable shè and shooting ability, which is definitely much more reliable than Nelson. However, his teammates often only regard him as a defensive barrier on the outside, echoing Howard from one mile to one mile to one mile, but on the offensive end, even Howard, who appreciates his defensive ability, does not think that he should take too many moves.
The only person in the team who trusts his offense is Tkoglu, and both of them come from Europe, so their relationship is very strong. It is precisely because of their good relationship that Pitrus knew that although Tkoglu is a very important part of the team, in fact, his status in the team is not as important as the outside world imagines. The person who likes him is Howard, not Van Gundy or the team's senior management.
If a mistake is made and there is a problem, Howard may stand up for Tkoglu and say a few good things, but he will never love Tkoglu for him because of him.
Without a backer and a blue-collar player, it is really difficult to gain a foothold in a new owner.
When the opportunity arose, Pitrus dared not vote.
In addition to the above reasons, since Howard encountered double-teams in the interior, the rebound was not guaranteed, which made Pitrus' last self-expression in his heart suppressed, and he chose to pass the ball.
This is the safest solution, but it makes Bald Van Gundy's brother fat Van Gundy so angry that he jumps straight. How can the French miss such a good opportunity? But he forgot that this is exactly what he has not given enough trust to Pitrus in a season, and this is his dereliction of duty.
Stan Van Gundy learned a lot, but as a coach, he still had an obvious flaw. He did not communicate enough with the players and did not know much about the players. This is the fundamental reason why he was dismissed after rigor.
The ball was returned to Nelson, because at this time, only Nelson was the only one. The Rockets would give him enough space to catch the ball. Of course, they were also uneasy and were just waiting for him to make a mistake.
In less than 15 seconds, the players on the court have spent a difficult time. No matter which team they play for, they have their own difficulties.
After receiving the ball, Nelson felt obvious hesitation, and Xiao Han "appreciated" this, but just as Xiao Han guessed before the game, Nelson did not dare, or knew in his heart that he could not act rashly at this time, so he did not choose to make a fuss.
Everyone in the league knows that Nelson is very confident in his shooting. Every day, he basically treats himself as Xiao Han. Today, he actually knows that he has restrained himself. It is very difficult. It is definitely a great thing for the Magic. However, on the other hand, it also shows how much pressure Nelson is facing.
Jamal Nelson is definitely not a person who can withstand pressure. Xiao Han is very sure of this, so he is still full of confidence in defeating the opponent's point guard.
Nelson did learn his lessons. He knew clearly that what he should do was to create opportunities for Howard, but the method he chose seemed not very reliable.
Breakthrough, Nelson chose to break through Xiao Han's defense with less than 6 seconds left in offense, and his plan was to pass the ball to Howard after breaking through.
Let’s not mention whether he can live with Xiao Han, just look at the remaining time and howard’s situation. Who can think that his brain is normal?
Just keeping abreast of the method, regardless of the result, and not looking at the actual situation, seeing him, Xiao Han gradually believed that Zhao Kuo in history was indeed true.
At this time, how could Xiao Han let Nelson go? No wonder Van Gundy was angry. The opportunity of Pitrus was indeed so good that it was impossible to be better. It was the loophole of the Rockets' defensive method. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the Magic himself missed it.
With Nelson's speed and skills, it was so easy for him to pass Xiao Han? Two seconds passed, and the timer was about to be on the red light. He realized that he was going to be anxious, but the more anxious he was, the less he could do it.
A simple mind also has the benefits of being simple mind. When he saw that it was not possible, Nelson didn't care whether Xiao Han could block him anymore. He stopped quickly and jumped up and threw it away.
The reason for throwing was that Nelson's eagerness to attack was deformed, which also shows that he was really not a pitcher, everything was just his own fantasy.
The ball did not enter, but reached the basket, and the basket instantly became the focus of competition. Xiao Han had already turned around and ran towards the landing point of the ball. Hayes and Scola relied on tacit understanding and immediately made the division of labor clear. Hayes, who was closer to the landing point, competed for the rebound, and Scola, who was at the far end, came to block Howard.
This is a decision error.
If Hayes resisted the "Warcraft" and Scola went to grab the ball, although the Argentine still had to bypass the two, it would not take much time and it was still very hopeful. But now as soon as Hayes left, there was no obstacle in front of Howard. How could Scola want to go around Howard at this time to block his way?
So, Hayes and Scola are not considered outstanding rebounders, so there is a problem with the first judgment. How could Scola be faster than Howard? Before he could lift his feet to the ground, Howard flashed the first time.
Subconsciously, Sco stretched out his hand and pulled it, but he didn't hold it. He didn't even think about it. He couldn't even hold it. Even if he was asked to go around Howard, wouldn't he be squeezed away by an arm?
Nelson's ball was very curved, but it was very weak, so the ball was not high and could not be considered a long rebound. Hayes and Xiao Han were basically in place at the same time. Strictly speaking, Xiao Han came faster, but before he could jump, Howard from there also arrived, jumped up through Hayes, and reached out to grab the ball.
If Hayes could turn back to block Howard just now, the ball would fall into Xiao Han's hands, but he believed Scola too much, and Xiao Han's appearance also surprised him. He didn't know if he should continue to grab the ball. After hesitating, he didn't know howard had arrived behind him.
When competing for rebounds with Howard, Xiao Han really can't grab it unless there is a special treat, which is normal. Otherwise, his salary will be 50 million next season.
