Chapter 486: [Take the hind legs, use the rules]

In the second quarter, Yang Rui gave Kobe a break and sent Mo Williams, Ariza, Wharton, Dior, and Cook. Both insiders have also rested.
If TNT live broadcasts the game, Barkley may debunk Yang Rui's trick. This is obviously a deliberate pass.
Iguodala was not injured. As the Lakers' most promising rookie, Gao Shun rookie, Yang Rui did not let him play, and sent Wharton who has always been a marginal man.
Compared with defensive ability, Iguodala defeated Wharton, and his athletic ability is stronger. As long as he plays, both ends of the offense and defense can play a role, and the fast attack is sharp.
One of Rashid and Odom can bring a substitute, but Yang Rui sent Cook, who is a defensive loophole, and the defensive end deliberately left the Rockets with a breakthrough. The inside has no height, and there is no capable center. If the Rockets don't score, they will weakly explode.
Rick Carlisle seized the opportunity, arranged a suitable attack lineup, and continued to widen the point difference.
He wouldn't have reservations. If he had a victory in Los Angeles, his position would be stable. The Lakers have lost two straight games before. If they lose again today, it is a three-game losing streak. Carlisle feels that the Rockets are leading because the Lakers have recently been in a mess.
Mitchell Thompson of Los Angeles Sports questioned. "Today the Lakers played so badly, Kobe scored. Although they lost in the first two games, the Lakers attacked smoothly, but they didn’t defend well. Today it’s not like the tactical style of the Lakers and Jerry Yang. adjusted."
Partner Stuart Lantz said: "Jerry Young is a bit of an anomaly. He was the coach who called the most suspensions in a season when he was a wizard. Now he is like a Zen master and I don’t know what to think. I think, the Lakers are not in shape at this time. It’s time to shrink, it’s necessary to expand the scope of defense and interfere with mid-range shooting."
The Lakers continued their 122 defense, and the Rockets' substitutes Mike James, Jumaine Jones, and Padgett made three consecutive 3-pointers. Mobley was in charge of taking the bench and attracted the defensive center of gravity by running. The center of the team was a guest from Maurice Taylor, pulling out a high position and casting a center shot.
In order to strengthen the offense, Carlisle has no veteran Mutombo. He is a coach who dares to use people boldly and targets each other's weaknesses. He believes that since Yao is not there, there is no need for a defensive blue-collar inside. Taylor is the Rockets' best attacker. The mid-range shot can open up space. Although he is recognized as a bad contract, he can occasionally make a difference.
A magical thing happened. The Rockets, like stimulants, quickly widened the point difference to 26 points.
Yang Rui still doesn't adjust his tactics or make substitutions, watching his opponents play.
He doesn't worry about the outcome of the game, he just thinks it's magical. Some things are like inertia.
Bryant's 81-point game, in addition to Jay Rose, the Raptors also have guard Mike James.
That season James played the best performance of his career, averaging 20.3 points and 5.8 assists per game. Even so, the Raptors did not renew the contract with James because he attacked the strong and defended the weak, and even said that he did not like defense.
And James sticks the ball. He feels that he can become a guard like Iverson. Of course, he didn't succeed in the end, and disappeared in the NBA within a few years.
James broke out today, and the bench quickly scored 13 points. The offensive end was unstoppable. He pulled up after scoring the third three-pointer, dancing back and forth as if he were the king of the NBA, a full villain, waiting to be beaten.
Yang Rui waited until the official suspension, called the players together and said aloud: "Today's opening Rockets players feel good, but everyone need not be nervous, only 26 points behind, I don't think the gap is big, because we can win the Heat by 70 points .Which of the Rockets and the Heat are better, I don’t need to say more? So, you don’t have to be nervous now, let alone bear the illusion that you want to win or lose, and we must win in the end."
The players listened very carefully, they were under pressure, and now they are more relaxed. The Rockets really couldn't compare with the Heat, and they couldn't compare with the normal Lakers.
Yang Rui arranged the appearance of the lineup, and then smiled: "My request is very simple, pull it out, and give it to Kobe. Kobe has unlimited shots. The man is defensive and the defender is quick to change. Don’t let them shoot three points at random. The penalty area will mainly interfere with the shooting. If the opponent catches the ball under the basket, it is the distance that can be dunked. The foul must be fast. Grabbing the backcourt and rebounding fast, Kobe can directly hit and attract The ball will be scored after the double."
Kobe has been resting for 6 minutes, and he has added a lot of energy.
Yang Rui didn't mention the data, but the relaxed expression and lazy speaking speed gave the Lakers players a clear concept. Previously it was the Rockets.
Thinking of this, everyone's confidence has increased, even Brian Cook. In fact, the defense of this product is really bad, and it is not good to prevent the pick and roll. He is now practicing the spiritual victory method of Ah Q.
Wharton sat on the sideline without a word, with a serious expression, thoughtful.
Wharton's ball dealer is very high. He thinks about the reason why the Lakers are lagging behind. It has been seen that Yang Rui deliberately arranged an unreasonable lineup, so that the players are behind each other. He was uncomfortable as a back-up.
After this season, Wharton’s two-year contract expired and he planned to leave the Lakers. Staying with the Lakers, he simply could not get a performance opportunity, just to be a marginal man.
He wanted to find time to talk to Yang Rui, and develop in the current situation. As long as no outsiders are injured, he will be difficult to enter the playoff roster, because Cook has a better tactical role~EbookFREE.me ~Three points accuracy. He has no data in the regular season. If the Lakers don't renew, he can only play the Summer League to prove himself.
After the suspension, the Lakers played Mo Williams, Kobe, Ariza, Odom, Rashid.
Yang Rui specially called Iguodala to his side and whispered, "Andrea, I won't let you play today, because even with that, you won't get much shot power, you can only be a pure blue collar, You can’t use your full strength."
"I understand that I'm ready to watch Kobe's performance." Iguodala also responded in a low voice, expressionless.
His golfer is also very high. In Yang Rui's previous life, he was regarded as the best championship puzzle. Unexpectedly, everyone became the finals MVP in 15 years. Today, he will not take the initiative to grab the limelight with Kobe. If he aggressively attacks after playing and scores a lot, Kobe will not be happy.
Others are also quite aware of it. Before Kobe Bryant gave them a valuable gift, he clearly stated that they needed their cooperation.
Cooperating, of course, includes brushing data. Powerful players can win 20+, but many super data in a single game can not be played without the cooperation of teammates.
A more obvious example is the battle between David Robinson and O'Neal in the scoring king. In the last game, the team helped Robinson create opportunities. He eventually scored 70+ and overtook O'Neal in the final round. Otherwise, there will be three scoring champions in Olympic fat.
This is not necessarily a cruel thing, just a reasonable use of rules, the league does not stipulate that the team can not help a star to get luxury data.
In order to strengthen the defense, Yang Rui didn't send Jones and Hoyberg anymore. If he really lost in the end, Kobe wouldn't look good any number of points, and his face would be difficult.
Now turning defense into man-to-man, Yang Rui is confident to reduce the opponent's scoring efficiency, and the Rockets' offense is far worse.
