Chapter 365: Anxiety
The first game between the Rockets and the Heat began, which was played at home in Houston.
The audience was full of spectators, and Houston fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The last time the Rockets won the championship dates back to 1994 and 1995. Olajuwon, a big man, led the Rockets to win two consecutive championships.
After that, let alone winning the championship, I was unable to enter the finals.
This time, it was the first time that the Rockets reached the finals after thirteen years.
Faced with this situation, Rockets fans were like they were infuriated and fell into a state of madness.
The Rockets players stepped onto the stadium, and the audience burst into thunderous applause and shouts!
"Rockets, you will win!"
"Rockets, you will win!"
"Lu Bu, invincible!"
"Lu Bu, invincible!"
...
Athletes from both sides stood on the basketball court, and Yao Ming of the Rockets and a big man from the Heat began to jump the ball.
In the end, Yao Ming was better at his skills and pushed the ball into his own defender.
Then Yao Ming rushed forward quickly, and the speed of the 100-meter voyager was fully demonstrated. He rushed to the backcourt with lightning speed, received a pass from the defender and easily dunked.
Then, the Heat's three troikas cooperated with each other and easily scored two points, and the two sides drew.
Next was the Rockets serving, but as soon as the Rockets sent the ball, the defender was immediately double-teamed by the Heat.
The ball was eventually cut off by the Heat, and the Heat made a quick attack and overtook the score 4:2.
Next, the Heat frequently used the game-high pressing move, which could ignore Lu Bu.
This move by the Heat suddenly disrupted the Rockets' rhythm.
The Rockets Lu Bu is a fierce point. Almost no one in the entire league can defend Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is definitely comparable to O'Neal of the past, and even stronger than O'Neal of the past.
But Lu Bu's teammates are actually second-rate, or one or two can barely be attributed to first-rate.
However, compared with the Heat's Big Three, the gap is too big.
Before encountering such a strict defense by the Heat, the Rockets played smoothly.
But after encountering the Heat, the Rockets' shortcomings of insufficient foundation were undoubtedly exposed.
After the first quarter, the Rockets fell 12 points behind 12:24.
This is already a huge difference in points.
At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets coach began to adjust the Rockets' tactics, but the Rockets did not have a super defender.
Faced with the Heat's suffocating and strict defense, the Rockets obviously lacked solutions.
In the second quarter, the adjusted Rockets finally made some progress. More balls passed to Lu Bu's hands began to increase.
However, whenever the ball was passed to Lu Bu, the Heat would start to double-team Lu Bu by three.
Under the double-team of the three, Lu Bu couldn't rush out at all, so he could only pass the ball out.
At this time, the Heat had two left to defend, and the two allowed the Rockets to make mid-range and long shots, only defending in the interior.
Then in this quarter, the Rockets' outside players generally felt poor, and they made three consecutive shots outside the three-point line.
In the end, I had to change the mid-range shot, but the shooting percentage was pitifully low.
In contrast, the Heat have completely opened the three giants and can make any shots.
After two quarters, the Heat led the way with a big score of 50:24.
After two quarters, the score difference reached 26 points.
In fact, the difference in scores of 26 points in the two quarters is really not that I can’t catch up.
Even a bigger difference than this is not without the possibility of recovering it.
But the Rockets' performance today was quite bad. Lu Bu was defended by the Heat, and the rest of the people felt diving together.
The first game looked like it was hanging.
If the first game is behind by a large score, it will be a huge blow to morale, and the following game is not easy to play.
During the final break, Lu Bu found the head coach and proposed that he would also serve as the shooting guard in the second half.
Because the Heat are pressing the game now, the Rockets' organizational guard is extremely difficult to break through.
Often, the ball is either lost or forced to pass in a bad position.
...
After hearing Lu Bu's volunteer, the head coach couldn't help but frown and asked, "Lu Bu, but, is it really okay for you to ride the ball?"
Well, okay!
Lu Bu can shoot three-pointers and dunks, and is extremely fast, but he has never served as a guard.
Due to his size limitations, it is obvious that Lu Bu is not very suitable for the position of defender.
But in fact, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Bu had served as a defender for a long time.
Especially when Lu Bu was partnering with Zhao Zilong, one was a defender and the other was a shooting guard, and the two were three-pointers, which was simply to capture whoever they were killed!
Lu Bu nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, I have practiced it!"
In the end, the head coach frowned and agreed to Lu Bu's proposal and prepared to let Lu Bu give it a try.
Anyway, if you follow the normal playing style, you will definitely lose today.
Since that's the case, let Lu Bu try it once!
At the beginning of the third game, the Rockets served, and Lu Bu reached out and the ball was directly sent to Lu Bu.
At this time, the Heat's attention did not pay attention to Lu Bu.
There is only one Heat player who defends Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu received the ball, the Heat were about to prepare three people to double-team Lu Bu.
Then the Heat discovered that they were too naive...
Lu Bu is the first person in Asia to run a 100-meter sprint.
After receiving the ball, Lu Bu directly rushed for a 100-meter sprint, and then... there was no one behind him!
Lu Bu scored easily with a dunk.
Next, it was the Heat's turn to serve, but the Rockets came to a full-game press. The Heat were discomfortable and the ball was cut off by the Rockets.
After Lu Bu got the ball, he made a three-pointer.
With two goals, the score difference between the two teams was shortened by five points, and there was still 21 points left to score difference.
Next, it was still one person who defended Lu Bu.
As a result, Lu Bu received the ball again and ran wildly after receiving the ball. The players who defended Lu Bu could not catch up at all!
In fact, no one in the Heat can catch up with Lu Bu.
Well, or in other words, no one in the entire league can catch up with Lu Bu's speed.
Lu Bu got two more shares.
Next, the Heat's feel less and they were lazy and they were slack in the iron.
After the Rockets got the ball, they immediately passed it to Lu Bu and scored another three-pointer.
In this way, the score difference between the two teams is still sixteen points left!
Less than two minutes into the third quarter, Lu Bu scored ten even.
The Heat didn't score a single point!
As a last resort, the Heat had to call a timeout and re-arrange the tactics.
After the timeout, the Heat separated two to take charge of Lu Bu.
Anyway, after the Rockets eliminated the serve players, there were only four players left.
As the defensive Heat, they sent two people to take care of Lu Bu, and the rest could still conduct one-on-one marking.
But obviously, they underestimated Lu Bu too much.
With the two of them guarding each other, Lu Bu started running wildly from the beginning.
The defending Lu Bu couldn't even catch up with a player who fought desperately from behind. Lu Bu was tall and could easily catch the ball.
Chapter completed!
