Lin Shuhao dribbled the ball to the right three-point line. Yi Jianlian immediately mentioned the high post for a pick-and-roll. Jones was naturally forced to follow. However, Terry was also very experienced and had long been wary of the Timberwolves' pick-and-roll, so this

The pick-and-roll did not result in a change of defense. After Lin Shuhao saw this situation, he also sent the ball to Oden inside. As soon as Oden received the ball, Jones actually dropped Yi Jianlian and then headed directly towards Oden.

Double-teamed him.

Seeing this situation, Oden did not hesitate and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian who was standing on the outside and was left open. When Jones wanted to turn around and defend Yi Jianlian again, Allen had already adjusted.

Then he took action.

The basketball flew in the air and drew a wonderful arc, and then fell into the basket very accurately.

In the Timberwolves' first attack, Yi Jianlian announced his return with a three-pointer.

This ball also kicked off the game.

Yi Jianlian, who returned from injury, used this three-pointer to tell everyone that Chen Dazhuang had no problem choosing him.

Carlisle frowned slightly on the sidelines. To be honest, he didn't expect Yi Jianlian to start. In his plan, as long as the Timberwolves still arranged for Sims to play, then Jones would defend in this game.

He immediately double-teamed Oden, so that Himes's weakness in scoring would be infinitely magnified.

But now Yi Jianlian came on the court, and he opened the game with a three-pointer, telling Carlisle that if you dare to let me go, then I dare to shoot.

Carlisle also studied the Timberwolves' lineup very carefully. He knew very well that at the Timberwolves' fourth position, Sims and Yi Jianlian were two completely different types of players.

At this time, Carlisle began to become a little worried about this game.

In fact, the progress of the next game also confirmed his worries. In the next offense of the Timberwolves, although Yi Jianlian is a power forward, during the Timberwolves' offense, he is not limited to the three-second zone like Himes before.

, but frequently appears on the outside, and whenever he mentions a high pick-and-roll or running position, Bennett will automatically fill in. With this change of position, Ariza becomes the person with the greatest pressure on the Rockets.

Although Ariza is faster than Yi Jianlian in terms of movement speed, he is inferior in terms of body strength and height.

As Yi Jianlian frequently succeeded from the outside, Carlisle stood on the sidelines and shook his head, then applied for a timeout.

He knew that if he didn't adjust, the game would probably be in doubt again.

After the adjustment of the timeout, Jones on the Rockets had to follow Yi Jianlian and no longer double-team Oden. However, although Yi Jianlian's score dropped due to Jones' entanglement, Oden was

He was completely liberated, and it seemed that Howard, who was defending Oden alone, was showing signs of being targeted again.

Oden received Shuhao Lin's pass with Howard behind his back. The other Timberwolves players had a tacit understanding and pulled away, creating an opportunity for Oden to attack Howard alone.

The physical collision between the two inside beasts is an adrenaline rush.

In the end, the former World of Warcraft was defeated. After Oden hit it twice, he continued to feint with his feet, then quickly turned around and completed a dunk. Howard, who was a little slow to react, also gave Oden a two plus one.

opportunity.

As Oden stepped to the free throw line, he steadily hit the extra free throw.

There were still 1 minute and 49 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and this foul was also Howard's second foul of the game. Seeing this, Carlisle called for a timeout again.

What the Rockets are facing right now is that if you don't double-team Oden, the Timberwolves will keep an eye on Oden, but Howard can't defend him alone. But once you choose to double-team, that's fine.

The Timberwolves directly asked Yi Jianlian to pull to the outside, and the three-pointer was dizzy.

At this time, Carlisle also felt frustrated.

Because this game is going on, the Timberwolves have thrown multiple-choice questions in front of themselves again. Now it's time for Carlisle to make a choice. Do you choose to bet that the Timberwolves' outside shooting percentage cannot always be so accurate, and then resolutely double-team Oden?

Or you choose to believe that Howard can block Oden and resolutely defend the Timberwolves' perimeter.

Soon the timeout time expired, the two sides returned to the court again, and the game continued.

The Rockets also made substitutions, with Capela replacing Howard, who had two fouls.

It was this substitution that seemed to allow Carlisle to see the future of the Rockets. After Capela came on the court, although he could not be Oden's opponent defensively, Capela's feet moved much faster than Howard on offense.

.

Instead, he and Harden found a tacit understanding.

When it comes to picking and rolling for Harden in the high post, and then quickly moving down, Harden can score or pass the ball, and Capela's moving down can provide help to Harden.

As Harden made another high throw, Capela, who got rid of Yi Jianlian, once again completed an alley-oop dunk.

The big man on the sidelines frowned a little.

Although the Rockets could not change anything in the situation of the game, and the point difference remained at around 10 points, the offensive routine the Rockets just completed reminded him of something.

Damn it, without D'Antoni, can you really develop a cake king?

What the hell is this? I thought history had seriously deviated from its trajectory, but now it seems there are signs of a return.

"Chen, don't you think this is the Rockets' best lineup?" D'Antoni, who was sitting next to Dazhuang, said. Smith on the side also looked at Chen Dazhuang.

"Yes, actually this guy is suitable for the Rockets and can cooperate with James to show his combat effectiveness."

Damn it, this result was something Da Zhuang never expected. How did he get the King of Pies out after taking down Howard? This season is going well, but if this continues, the Rockets may not be that good next season.

Hit.

Sometimes a team is bound to win the championship without having too many superstars. Sometimes having too many giants is not necessarily a good thing. Ball rights are the biggest problem. How to allocate the ball rights according to different situations is very critical.

Take the Timberwolves as an example. All five players on the court can play without the ball, and at this time, Oden, who is the core of the tactics, has even become an organizing center.

But there are also many people who cannot play without the ball. For people like James, you can let him play without the ball. There is also Harden. The biggest problem for the Rockets is who should control the ball, whether to hand it to Howard or to Howard.

Harden.

This is a multiple choice question.
