Chapter 299 [More like Maddie than Maddie】
When the Rockets attacked, Charlie brought the ball to McGrady when he was in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming pulled out the pick-and-roll.
Even if it is the scoring champion, it takes time to join a new team. The tactics and teammates are different.
During the Magic, McGrady can do his best to get the ball and play singles. In the Rockets, he cannot completely leave Yao Ming alone.
In fact, the simplest way to play against the Nets is not the "Yao Mai" pick-and-roll that Van Gundy emphasized, but the ball was suspended to Yao Ming to fight Corinth alone. He has skills, can shoot, and height is not something that Corinth can block.
But Van Gundy wants McGrady to establish a core position in the team as soon as possible. He does not think that Yao Ming has the dominance of O'Neal in the low post.
After the pick-and-roll, McGrady faced Eric, and the ball was distributed to Yao Ming in the middle. With Jefferson's personal interference, Yao Ming passed it to Jackson who was running.
Unfortunately, Yao Ming and McGrady's pick-and-roll are not very powerful.
It’s not that Yao Ming can’t stop him, but that McGrady is also very tall, and the players who defend him are usually about two meters tall. After such a misalignment, neither of them can gain a significant height advantage or speed advantage.
Just like the center is pick-and-roll for the power forward, isn’t this full and full?
Van Gundy's tactics are incomprehensible, and he still stubbornly let the two of them follow suit, as if "Yao Mai pick-and-roll" is the truth on the basketball court.
If you pick-and-roll with the point guard, Yao Ming can better attract defense and make a misalignment shot directly. Unfortunately, Charlie is not a point guard who is good at pick-and-roll.
With McGrady here, it is difficult for other defenders to control the ball. This is contradictory. Before the Rockets solve this problem, they are not a super strong team.
Jackson took the ball and beat Wang Jun alone. The game was still very simple, and he made a quick stop and jump shot. He missed the ball under interference.
Yao Ming did not grab the frontcourt rebounds and went back to defend directly. Collins won the rebound.
Wang Jun stood at the bottom corner on the left and ran to the middle to catch the ball, McGrady followed.
The Rockets could not join forces and let Charlie wait for the opponent to attack in the middle. Wang Jun held the ball to look for cover, Collins blocked McGrady, and he broke through to the right and misplaced against Yao Ming.
Yao Ming has a big weakness, and it is difficult to follow when defending against pick-and-rolls.
To prevent Wang Jun, he had to go out. Yao Ming was more in position, and Wang Jun's center of gravity was very low. He did not make fake moves, but just changed direction quickly.
His muscles were tight, and he pushed the ground hard with his right leg, took a big step, and quickly slapped the ball with his right hand, took a big step with his left foot, and took a big step with his left hand to catch the ball with his left hand, and took another step away from Yao Ming.
Wang Jun jumped up and took the basket with a low hand on the right. Taylor failed to make up for the defense. Yao Ming turned slowly and couldn't catch up. The ball hit the board and fell into the basket, neatly. 8 to 0.
"Wang Jun scored 8 points in a row, got rid of McGrady and passed Yao Ming, and played with two stars by himself. He played crazy at the beginning." Yu Jia shouted.
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "After a summer vacation, Wang Jun made another progress, and his breakthrough was sharper than before. This layup looks very easy. I think his data will soar this season."
The Rockets played very patiently and almost used 24 seconds. McGrady broke through with the ball and attracted Collins to make up for defense and pass to Yao Ming in the middle.
Jefferson failed to block the empty cut, Yao's one-handed dunk into the ball. The Rockets finally scored 8-2.
The net team attacked, and McGrady continued to follow Wang Jun. He did not retreat when he encountered cover. He quickly bypassed the defense. Taylor also came out quickly and formed a double-team.
Faced with the treatment of the star, Wang Jun chose to pass the ball. Collins was empty at the periphery and could not even rush to the inside. He stood still and waited for Jefferson to receive the pass.
Jefferson took the ball and broke through on the left. Yao Ming retreated to the basket and formed a double-team with Jackson, forcing Jefferson to pass the ball out again.
Eric was empty on the outside, and he aimed a jump shot from the left, and the three-pointer still missed.
The audience was depressed together, what the hell is this feeling!
Yao Ming picked up the rebound as soon as he raised his toes, and McGrady made a quick break, but the Rockets lacked super organizers and did not launch a long pass to launch a counterattack.
Charlie slowly passed through the half-time position according to the coach's arrangement. When Yao Ming got out of the position, Medib ran away.
When Yao Ming was in place, the Nets' joint defense was also in place, and it was difficult for the Rockets to get an easy shooting opportunity.
After several passes, Taylor missed the mid-range shot under Wang Jun's interference and the rebound was grabbed by Williams.
The Nets fought back, Eric gave Vaughan, and the latter gave Jefferson. Jefferson led the game over half and attracted Jackson to pass the defense to Wang Jun on the periphery.
After the misalignment, Taylor followed Wang Jun and retreated to the three-point line. Wang Jun received the ball from the right, took a step back and took two steps with Taylor, and a small back jump shot avoided the block.
Taylor stepped forward and jumped slowly, and he couldn't even block his eyes when he reached out and the ball went in again.
11-2, Wang Jun scored 11 points in a row and made all four shots.
Wang Jun raised his single punch and returned to defense, igniting the home atmosphere.
The fans stood up and applauded, and the Chinese fans were particularly excited. Wang Jun seemed to be a superstar and was incredibly brave.
The Rockets' offense still cannot be matched, but Yao and Mai combined a simple pick-and-roll.
The Rockets used to play like this, and Francis was a point guard, mainly breaking through.
After passing it back and forth several times, the ball was handed over to Yao Ming, and the low post played Collins and turned around and scored. 11 to 4.
Zhang Heli said in confusion: "Wang Jun has already scored 11 points, and McGrady has no intention of responding. His score today is not strong."
Yu Jia also discovered this. "Maybe McGrady wants to integrate into the team as soon as possible in this way. The Rockets have people who can score. He cannot attack as much as he does in Magic. Wang Jun reminds people of McGrady of Magic."
The Nets attacked, Wang Jun took the ball in one step inside the three-point line on the right, McGrady was close to him, Wang Jun protected the basketball with his back, waited for Collins to cover, dribble in the middle and faced Taylor.
Wang Jun dribbled the ball under his right hand and took a step to change his left hand to the left, and shook a little space to rush to shoot. This time Taylor almost blocked it, which was seriously disturbed and deviated.
Yao Ming won the rebound and the Rockets fell to the position again.
If Van Gundy has any characteristics of the team after coaching the Rockets, in addition to the strict defense, what impressed people the most was that they played ugly. Almost every round was the half-court position, some fans couldn't help but ask - will they die if they play a fast break?
Yao Ming continued to pick-and-roll and played strictly according to the coach's arrangement. McGrady made a quick stop and jump shot, which missed under Eric's interference. Wang Jun grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Yao Ming can ensure the speed of returning to defense after covering, and Wang Jun passed the ball to Vaughan.
At the position attack, Wang Jun stood at the bottom line and started asking for the ball, and took McGrady to run together.
Jefferson almost didn't catch the ball in the opening game, and he felt a little unhappy when he watched Wang Jun's performance.
The coach arranged a double-gun attack, and now Wang Jun is just playing alone.
Seeing that Wang Jun felt good, Vaughan passed the ball to him again and again, and ignored Jefferson.
Wang Jun encountered a double team and distributed the ball to Eric, then ran away and circled around the bottom line.
McGrady was very depressed when she saw that he was still playing with no physical strength and was completely brought into the opponent's rhythm.
Eric shook his back and pretended to pass the ball to Jefferson. He turned to the bottom line and passed Taylor, making a layup before Yao Ming returned to defense. 13 to 4.
