984 playoffs are coming (4)

In the first game, Roy was defeated without any decent resistance. Naturally, Roy was dissatisfied. In his eyes, the team's lineup was not much worse than the Rockets. The lack of experience could not hide everyone's words. As the leader of the Trail Blazers, people could easily have the idea that he was inferior to Xiao Han, which was what Roy was most reluctant to see.

Roy is a proud guy. Of course, he also has the strength to match this kind of spirit. He is called "Huang Mamba" and never hides his goal of being the best shooting guard in the league after Kobe. Then he will be further called the best defender in the league, or even the best player.

Aldridge is different. This big man who is always taciturn in the eyes of the media never seems to have too much ambition. He has never played even a leader defense battle within the team, and his requirements for record are always lukewarm, which means anything. Of course, this is a manifestation of lack of competitiveness, but looking at Aldridge's all-star data, it is hard to say that this person is not working hard enough. The final result is that he has never received too much criticism, but he is also destined to be unable to become a mainstay team core.

From Roy to Aldridge, from a pure basketball perspective, we can only say that these two people are very excellent players. They were not mature enough back then. Unlike Aldridge, Roy's problem is that he doesn't know how to make his teammates better.

Compared to his disciples, McMillan is more qualified. Some of the arrangements he made can at least be regarded as the right medicine. Whether the results can be achieved depends on his team's execution ability.

McMillan dared to make such a arrangement, of course, it was also seen that Artest and Bathir did not occupy much of the Rockets' offense. Even if they were completely relaxed, the threat to the Trail Blazers would not be greater than that of Xiao Han. This was just from the perspective of scoring. So no matter what, the change McMillan took the initiative to make at least not make the team's situation worse than the first game.

No matter which way he uses to express himself, Xiao Han can be impressive. His style is so varied, but his performance is in the league and even the top in history. Such players have never appeared in the entire world basketball history.

There are all players, there are also players with sharp scores, and there are also players with both. However, all such players will either simply choose between the two, or they will make themselves at a loss or even fall into a downturn. This is how James was criticized during the Heat. After all, although these players have superhuman strength, they are not very flexible, and they may be due to lack of vision and judgment. In short, no one can choose the attitude that the opponent is most afraid of in front of them in every game like Xiao Han.

McMillan tasted great.

It is very likely that when Xiao Han saw that the defender was replaced by Batum at first sight, he understood the Blazers' intention today. The first ball was passed to Batil Blake's small body and it was impossible for him to stand in front of Artest as an obstacle. Roy must go on it himself.

Bathil also knew the meaning of the song. After receiving the ball, he did not choose to shoot as usual. Instead, he made a fake move and passed Blake in one step.

This really cannot be considered Blake's fault. No one expected that Battier would break through. Until he successfully made a layup, no Trail Blazers player made a backup response.

Generally speaking, a ball does not mean anything, nor can the Rockets think that Adelman has taken the initiative to make changes just because they have picked up a hole from Bathir. In the case of winning one game first, Adelman's best way for his team is to stick to the inherent style of playing when winning until McMillan cracks his move and then try to deal with it.

In this game, the Trail Blazers are seeking change, of course, this is true, but many people's understanding of what is the Rockets' inherent playing style. The Rockets' use of unchanging and adapting to changes is not the routines used in the last game, but the basic policy with Yao Ming and Xiao Han as the core.

The ball was handed over to Xiao Han to try to stimulate Yao Ming's greatest function, and this was their dominant idea.

The ball is in Xiao Han's hands. God knows what requirements he will make for his teammates in terms of details, and Adelman doesn't know either.

Roy proved that he didn't just talk big. His condition today was much better than in the first game and he played more resolutely. He obviously had a deeper understanding of the responsibilities he needed to bear as a team leader.

As a No. 2 player, especially among the best, Roy was allowed to have only the existence of the rim. In such a special game, he was given special "independence".

Artest can tell you responsibly that his defense against Roy is good enough, but Roy can hit such a jump shot in front of him, and he has no choice.

Xiao Han didn't think this was anything. A guy like Roy would always rise up in such a game. All he had to do was to make Roy's efforts useless in his own way, that's all.

But the fans of Toyota Center quit. Although these guys' support for the team is far from being able to spare no effort, they are also a little nervous when dealing with the players, but most of the people who come to watch the game can still do their duty.

This is Houston's home court, which is the territory of Houston fans. Now, they require Xiao Han to do his job as the steward of this venue.

Xiao, you can't let an outsider wield on our territory.

Fight back! Fans asked Xiao Han to give a strong response to Roy's provocation.

Xiao Han did not do this, maybe he was not in a hurry. No matter what, although he did not look inside, his attention was actually always on Yao Ming and Landry.

McMillan arranged for Aldridge to go around to defend Yao Ming. Aldridge is a very obedient child. He kept persevering in his arms to go around Yao Ming, which made Xiao Han dare not act rashly even if he had the ability to send the ball to Yao Ming's hands.

Yao Ming suffered a loss at his feet and his attention was distracted. He put aside the possibility of passing by being intercepted by Aldridge. When the ball arrived, Yao Ming might not be able to catch it. He could catch it steadily. This is a very realistic problem. No matter how good the pass is, it will have the possibility of mistakes.

Landry's situation was even worse. Poulzbila had no choice but to fight Yao Ming, but he could eat him tightly. Regardless of height, weight and arm span, Landry was at an absolute disadvantage, which made his courage unable to be displayed at all and was greatly restricted.

These are two obvious misalignments. Fortunately, Yao Ming does not need to defend Aldridge's mid-range, nor does Landry does to attack Pullsbila's strong play at the basket. They still have autonomy when defending, otherwise the situation in the inside of both sides would have reversed.

The positioning of the inside is collision and wrestling. Before Aldridge's physical strength was further consumed, Xiao Han knew that it would be better not to cause trouble for Yao Ming. At this time, the lob to the inside was actually adding burden to Yao Ming and accelerating his physical expenditure. This is unwise.

Xiao Han's pass found Battier again. This time, Battier made a fake breakthrough and made a real shot. He easily deceived Blake and made a mid-range shot.

It is normal to insist on not playing inside, but Xiao Han himself refused to attack and handed the ball to Bathir every time to deal with it. This is very interesting. However, at this time, McMillan could not take Blake immediately, because this means that he was telling the players that all the arrangements he made before the game were in vain and that he had to do it again now. This will be a huge blow to morale, so he can only make mistakes. This lineup must persist for three to four minutes.

The situation was basically clear, but McMillan had to make a look that he still needed to observe to comfort his players.
