Chapter 112: Chinese Derby

This is an ordinary game in the NBA, but it has received unprecedented attention in China.
Know that this is the first time Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming met in the NBA schedule, the first stage of a Chinese Derby!
The official NBA Twitter has sent news that the domestic pre-game momentum has reached a peak, and it will soon become Mars and hit the earth.
Toyota Center also issued a Chinese Derby rally to the local Chinese before the game, calling on fans to watch the stadium.
A gimmicky game.
However, the attention of Tang Tian and the Rockets coaching staff is not on it.
Millsap cannot be beaten due to injury, Scola must have reached the starting position.
But the bench, whether to let rookie Landry on, or to let Novak top like last season, has not yet been decided.
The coaching staff discussed for a while and finally decided to let Novak top.
This evening, the Toyota Center was crowded. Compared with the past, many Chinese people appeared in the stadium today.
The NBA official and Rockets propaganda has had an immediate effect, and the fans have come to China Derby.
When the team warmed up before the match, the scene was also shot with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.
As teammates of the national team, the two also said hello before the game, and the scene of shaking hands shoulder to shoulder was also destined to become a classic.
After completing the warm-up before the game, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the Rockets' starting team was introduced.
Except for Scola replacing Millsap as the starter, other positions are the same as before.
For the Bucks, the starting point guard is Mo Williams, and his partner is the team's core Michael Reed, the small forward is Desmond Mason, and the frontcourt is Yi Jianlian and The combination of Andrew Bogut.
Bucks coach Larry Criskovik also gave a lot of face, let Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming jump the ball in the middle circle, attracted a scream of Chinese fans on the sidelines.
Yi Yilian won the ball for the Bucks.
Williams pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and then started Bogut's pick-and-roll cooperation.
科 Chris Koviak has not stayed in the NBA for a long time. He was the first assistant coach of the team's former coach Terry Stouts, but only one year.
After Stokes resigned, he became the head coach.
This is a defensive coach, and the offense prefers to let the players make their own decisions.
Generally, this team has more pick-and-rolls with the ball.
Tang Tian also did research before the game, so as soon as he came up, it gave the Bucks a lot of pressure.
Bogut's pick-and-roll is excellent, but Williams did not get a good out of the phone under high pressure defense.
He was forced to pass the ball to Reed.
Reid shot from outside.
"boom!"
Reed missed a three-pointer and was rebounded by Scola.
The Rockets' offense, Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Bucks directly defended a 2-1-2 defense.
This is also Chris Koviak's masterpiece. He has a set of defensive concepts, that is, the three-second zone and the three-point line. These two places are the main offensive points of the average team, and the more inefficient mid-range rarely has the ball The team is good, so on the defensive end, they will use this formation to push the opponent to the middle distance.
Yao Ming was taken care of by Bogut. He saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Scola in the middle distance.
Scola has no defense and chose to shoot directly.
"唰!"
Two-pointer steadily dropped the bag.
Scola is best at mid-range. He encountered this kind of defensive tactics for the first time in his career.
Bucks offense, Reed used Bogut's pick-and-roll to get under the rim, which led to Scola's foul.
With two free throws, Reed opened the record for the Bucks.
I looked back, still Scola, the same distance, the difference is that from the left to the right, and a steady mid-range hit.
There was cheering at the scene.
科 Chris Kowiak's tactics seem a little awkward.
The Bucks 'offense returned without success. When it came to the Rockets' turn, it was Scola, who shot in the same position!
Scola's debut debut is a bit explosive!
科 Chris Koviak couldn't sit still, got up and made a four-single singles gesture.
Williams controlled the ball to the front court and signaled that after the other positions were opened, Yi Jianlian directly played Scola in the low post.
的 The intention of this tactic is obvious. Scola has a foul and will only be able to end the game once again. With Scola off, the Bucks' defensive strategy can continue.
Yi Jianlian's body looked very thin. He was topped by Scola several times when he was in position, but after really receiving the ball, he wiped his feet with oil and turned directly to the bottom line, scoring Scola and rushing to the basket. Here is a dunk.
There was a loud noise at the scene.
Tang Tian stood up at this time and reminded Scola on the sideline to pay attention to the low post.
Scola has a good offense, but the defensive level is average. Before the game, he had specifically instructed Yi Jianlian's three-board axe (middle distance, turn to the bottom line, three-pointer), but Scola didn't expect to keep it.
The Rockets' offense was still Scola receiving the ball, but this time Yi Jianlian expanded faster and interfered with his shot. The ball failed to make a shot.
Bogut grabbed a defensive rebound. After Williams held the ball to the frontcourt, he still dealt with Jianlian in the low singles.
Scola clearly noticed Yi Jianlian's turn to the post this time.
Yi Yilian got stuck in the ball and could only return the ball to Reid.
After Reed received the ball, he gave it in.
Yi Jian connected the ball directly and turned back towards the three-point line.
Scola jumped to interfere.
"boom!"
After the basketball hit the hoop, it bounced into the net bag ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It even entered!
球迷 The fans in the scene were stunned. Scola's defense was too weak, right? Let a thin rookie score like this!
Tang Tian also frowned slightly. Scola was already in place for this ball. Yi Jianlian had a difficult shot. It looks like he feels very good tonight.
He then got up from his seat and motioned for Yao Ming and Scola to switch defenses.
The Rockets' offense, Scola flew Yi Jianlian at a mid-range fake point, and then hit the layup, which caused Bogut's foul.
After making two free throws, Scola finally found some face for himself.
The Bucks' offense saw the Rockets use Yao Ming to defend Yi Jianlian. Williams did not signal Yi Jianlian's low singles. He directly chose to break through with the pick-and-roll of Bogut.
After breaking through, the ball was awarded to Reed.
Reid took the ball again, and then points again. This time, Yi Jianlian received the ball.
Yi Jian connected the ball and met Yao Ming with a three-pointer.
Yao Ming jumped up and interfered, Yi Jianlian directly collected the ball, squeezed Yao Ming through a large step, and then shot the ball directly to the basket.
After reaching the basket two meters away, he took three big steps directly.
Scola ran from the other end to assist, but it was still slow.
"boom!"
Yi Jianlian and Scola walked by, passing the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Beep!"
The referee followed the whistle to signal Scola's blocking foul.
This is still a 2 + 1.
There was an uproar at the scene, but the Chinese people there were shouting excitedly.
Under the attention of the Lao people, Yi Jianlian played the best game since he joined the NBA.
