Chapter 190: Hat Yao Ming Achievement Achieved!

"It's like this, I said for a while that we should stop focusing on offense and start with defense first.

Xu, your defensive position is no longer the leading position in the front. Your defensive position has moved to the left corner of the three-point line. Let's start preparing for the second and third defenses. "

"Then, Xu, you should always pay attention to help Dako defend Yao Ming's offense, and force the Rockets' offense to the outside as much as possible."

After Xu Lang heard Mike Woodson's next defensive strategy, he didn't know whether he should feel that Mike Woodson's defensive sense was good enough, or he should feel that the luck of this game was with the Eagles.

Originally, after Xu Lang saw that the player template possessed this time was from Bill Russell, he thought about how to apply to Mike Woodson for any position on the left and right corners to assist in the second and third defenses. defensive tactics.

After all, looking at his 100% defensive strength after being possessed, Xu Lang really felt that it would be quite difficult to kill the Rockets by attacking in this game.

In fact, according to Xu Lang's current defensive strength, he should take the position of Dak Milicic to defend Yao Ming, the strongest inside player of the Rockets.

Although there is a tonnage gap between the two, Xu Lang's current strength attribute is not bad!
After all, Bill Russell was a player who could defend against Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It's just that although Xu Lang's strength is enough, the height gap between Xu Lang and Yao Ming is a problem that cannot be made up for by attribute values.

Such a height gap, coupled with Yao Ming's touch in this game, Xu Lang felt that if he really defended one-on-one, he might be shot directly by Yao Ming!
In comparison, Xu Lang still feels that the assist defense position is more suitable for him to help the entire team guard the inside defense.

On the one hand, with Xu Lang's 99 defense ability after possessing him, basically as long as there are no major accidents, he can basically cover his defensive area from the bottom corner of one side to the edge of the penalty area on the other side. questionable.

As for why it is not fully covered, it is naturally because Xu Lang is not standing in the center position after all, and cannot be right in the center of the court to defend!
The second is that Xu Lang, who has a strong defensive ability, will appear in the defensive position on both sides from time to time in the Eagles' defensive system.

This can allow Xu Lang, who has just completed possession and has greatly improved his defensive strength, to reintegrate into the Eagles' defensive system faster.

But now Mike Woodson placed Xu Lang behind the help defense position in the left and right corners directly before Xu Lang spoke.

On the contrary, it saved Xu Lang from wasting words and thinking of reasons, and suggested to Mike Woodson to change his defensive position and the team's defensive strategy.

After all, although Xu Lang's performance is getting better and better and he has brought more and more benefits to the Eagles management, he can basically be regarded as the same in the Eagles now.

But Xu Lang still knows very well that he is just a player, and Xu Lang may be able to make good judgments on some player transactions because of his hang-ups.

But Xu Lang still chooses to trust professionals when it comes to the team's tactical issues.

At least so far, Mike Woodson is above the passing line both in terms of team tactical system construction and on-the-spot performance in the game.

Xu Lang listened to Mike Woodson continuing to teach face-to-face, telling Szczerbiak and Tony Allen how to limit the Rockets' outside superstar Tracy McGrady's words!
There is only one sentence in my mind now!

"Sure enough, the tactics are good, the heart is dirty!"

At the same time, at this time, Xu Lang turned his head to look at the generals of the Rockets who were also listening to Van Gundy's instructions, as well as the tall figure that stood out from the crowd.

"Brother Yao, I'm sorry, I must win this game, otherwise I will lose money!"

After Xu Lang saw Bill Russell's exclusive skills, he realized that he seemed to have missed an opportunity to enter the field of A+ players without any obstacles.

After all, this opportunity to possess an A+-level player template is also an opportunity to extract the skills of an A+-level player!

Thinking about Bill Russell's exclusive skills, Xu Lang's heart is bleeding now!
Soon the timeout ends and the game resumes.

The first possession of the ball after the restart of the game belonged to the Eagles side first.

Although Mike Woodson moved Xu Lang to the help defense position in the bottom corner on the defensive end when he was off the court just now, on the offensive end, Xu Lang still stood outside the three-point line as a point guard.

Although judging from the performance of the first half of the game, the Eagles' tactical running effect is not very good.

But the Eagles can't find any other better and more efficient offensive methods now, so this time, the Eagles still use the original offensive system to conduct tactical moves.

It's just that this time the player who helped Xu Lang complete the pick-and-roll was no longer Josh Smith, but Darko Milicic.

It can be seen from the first half of the game that Darko Milicic faced the Rockets' penalty area with Yao Ming.

It is difficult to play the dexterous footwork and offensive advantages that he was able to play when facing most of the inside teams in the league.

So instead of letting Darko Milicic stay inside, waste his shooting ability and passing vision.

It's better to let go of the offensive space on the inside, so that Josh Smith, who stays on the wing, can get more space to rush to the frame, so that he can maintain the threat of attacking the Rockets' basket at any time.

At the same time, Darko Milicic's up pick and roll will also attract part of Yao Ming's defensive attention.

This will also allow the Rockets' other players to have better tactical running space.

With the help of Darko Milicic's pick-and-roll, Xu Lang accelerated from the wing and entered the three-point line.

Xu Lang entered behind the three-point line, looked up at his teammates, and suddenly found some changes in the passing route in his eyes.

It may be because of Bill Russell's game experience or defensive memory. Now that Xu Lang sees the Rockets' impenetrable defensive formation, he suddenly feels that there are not so many perfect ones. Even Xu Lang Now I feel that the Rockets still have a lot of defensive loopholes.

"I'll go. It turns out that strong defense has this effect. Now I understand why Bill Russell's passing ability is 85."

Xu Lang felt emotional about Bill Russell's NB defense in his heart.

Immediately caught himself seeing a defensive loophole that Yao Ming mentioned because of Darko Milicic's move after the pick-and-roll, a step outside the penalty area, and a decisive high-throw pass.

Completed and habitually launched an impact, but did not expect to be able to catch the basketball, the alley-oop dunk between Josh Smith.

From receiving the ball to completing the dunk, Josh Smith didn't even want to understand how Xu Lang passed the ball, and how Xu Lang knew that he would attack the inside at that time!
After all, when Xu Lang passed the ball, Josh Smith had just picked up the speed and reached the edge of the three-second zone.

If it wasn't for Josh Smith, after seeing Xu Lang complete the pass, he immediately broke out with another thigh burst and completed the take-off ahead of time, Xu Lang's wonderful pass this time would very likely turn into a mistake!

Fortunately, Josh Smith, who doesn't like to use his brain very much, didn't struggle with this question that he didn't understand for a long time, but turned to be a little complacent about his two points in this game!

"Smith will just charge honestly in a while, and leave the rest to me. As long as you have a chance, the ball will definitely arrive."

Xu Lang looked at Josh Smith, who had just burst into the middle of the charge, and spoke directly.

"I have to admit that Xu Lang's passing ability and passing level have improved linearly as he has become more and more adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA game."

"Just this time there are some ball-leading passes. I feel that there are not many point guards in the entire NBA history who can pass it."

"It's just that, although the Eagles' offense was excellent this time, Xu Lang's pass was also very subtle.

But the biggest problem for the Eagles in this game is not the offensive end, but how to deal with the overwhelming Yao Ming on the defensive end, and McGrady, who has a great offensive threat from the outside. "

In fact, Smith's concerns are also the concerns of all Eagles fans and Xu Lang fans.

The Rockets attacked from the ground. McGrady looked at Xu Lang, who was defending in front of him, and suddenly moved his position to the left corner. Immediately, he had a desire to pull up and shoot.

After all, because of Xu Lang's height, wingspan, and defensive ability, McGrady didn't have much of an advantage when he was able to pull up directly from beyond the three-point line.

But now that the defender in front of him has become Tony Allen, McGrady feels that his chances of success in the pullout should be much higher!

It's just that McGrady looked at Darko Milicic, who was stuck behind him in the paint, and Yao Ming, who was already on the edge of the penalty area, still felt that Yao Ming, a super paint teammate, had a higher offensive success rate.

Then, McGrady made a through pass and handed the ball to Yao Ming who was behind him and asked for the ball.

After Yao Ming received the basketball, he first leaned back to test Darko Milicic's defensive focus.

At this moment, from the corner of Yao Ming's eyes, he saw Xu Lang who was constantly shrinking his defensive position.

Then Yao Ming directly raised the basketball in his hand and made a fake move to pass the ball to the left foot.

Now the player standing on the left baseline is Sean Battier, the super shooter with the highest three-point shooting percentage of the Rockets this season.

This made Xu Lang, who originally wanted to attack Yao Ming once, could only readjust his defensive position to prevent Yao Ming from directly helping the Rockets get a three-pointer through this pass!

And after forcing Xu Lang's defensive position back to the three-point line.

Yao Ming received the ball at his waist again, then dropped the ball and started to attack Darko Milicic in a low post.

Power, the second time, Yao Ming, who made two consecutive powers, directly pushed Darko Milicic out of the bottom line.

After all, Yao Ming's 140kg tonnage was not developed for nothing!
After gaining full shot space, Yao Ming was about to complete a stepping dunk with the ball in both hands.

Just at this moment, Yao Ming suddenly heard a reminder from his teammates.

"careful!"

When Yao Ming just heard this voice, he immediately felt the darkness above his head, and then the basketball he was holding in both hands was slapped and flew out.

Yao Ming, who was slapped once, turned around and looked at the landing and immediately accelerated to launch a fast break. Xu Lang, who was wearing the No. 22 Eagles jersey, could only subconsciously say his famous NBA quotes.

"tomato!"

In fact, since entering the NBA, because of his height, Yao Ming has become an important target for many outside players to gain his reputation in defense!
For example, Xu Lang's former teammate, Nate Robinson, the shortest player among all active players in the league, wanted to cap Yao Ming once in a game in November.

But that time Yao Ming cleverly used his offensive pace to avoid Nate Robinson's block this time, and also caused a foul by the opponent, completing a 2+1.

Of course, as one of the representative players of floor play among inside players, Yao Ming has been blocked by outside players more than once.

But Yao Ming felt a little different when he was blocked this time, because it was a Chinese outside player who blocked him this time.

This made Yao Ming a little annoyed, but also a little relieved.

And just when Yao Ming was a little complicated by Xu Lang's block this time.

Xu Lang has already received a long pass from Josh Smith, and directly against Ralph Alston's defense, he completed a slightly easy three-step layup.

At the same time, with Xu Lang's offensive and defensive performance, the Eagles also officially closed the gap between the two teams to only one point!

And the major commentators sitting in the commentary seats, after seeing Yao Ming being hated this time, they also laughed wildly.

"Oh, how many times has Yao Ming been blocked in his career? Last time Nate Robinson failed to achieve the achievement of blocking Yao Ming once, but this time Yao Ming and Xu Lang succeeded in a sneak attack. Could it be that Yao Ming did it on purpose? To help Xu Lang, a fellow villager, slap Nate Robinson in the face?"

That's right, in the view of the commentators in the commentary booth, Xu Lang was able to kill Yao Ming this time purely by sneak attack.

At the same time, the commentators in the commentary booth did not think that the Eagles, which narrowed the gap between the two teams to one point, could reverse the situation of the game just by relying on this offense and one defense.

Until the next two to three minutes of the first quarter, Xu Lang began to appear by Yao Ming's side again and again
It has greatly interfered with Yao Ming's offense, and even destroyed Yao Ming's many offenses.

The fans at the scene and the commentators in the commentary booth realized that the Eagles, which had changed their defensive formation, seemed to be different.

In the remaining four minutes of the first quarter, with the help of Xu Lang, although Darko Milicic still couldn't withstand Yao Ming's offense, Yao Ming's offensive efficiency was no longer as good as in the first half. Festival games are so scary.

And because of Xu Lang's defensive pressure on the inside, the Eagles' outside players no longer need to worry about the collapse of the inside defense, and can devote more energy to strengthening the Eagles' outside defense!
Of course, although the Eagles slowly withstood the Rockets' offense on the defensive end.

However, facing the Rockets' tight defensive system on the offensive end, it is still difficult for the Eagles to play a particularly efficient and consistent offense.

This caused the Eagles and Rockets to slowly enter a score stalemate in the next game.

After the end of the first quarter, the Eagles are still one point behind, but this game is no longer considered by many people to be a one-sided crushing game.

"I have to admit that Mike Woodson's defensive strategy changes in the second half of the first quarter have an excellent effect."

"Yes, the Hawks also relied on a more efficient defensive performance to keep the scores of the two teams at a stalemate.

And what surprised me even more is that in the second half of the first quarter, Xu Lang, who was adjusted to the position of the defender in the left corner, showed us the strength of a top defender. "

Looking at the end of the first quarter, Zhang Weiping said Xu Lang with eight points, six rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks, with some emotion.

"I think Chinese basketball is indeed about to rise, after having core inside and outside players at the level of Yao Ming and Xu Lang.

I think that in the much-anticipated Olympic Games two years later, we still have enough threats to the championship. "

In fact, since Xu Lang's performance in the NBA has been getting better and better, the American media has begun to compare the Chinese team to the world's basketball team, the biggest competitor of the US team now!
Of course, it is still unknown how much sincerity the American media reported in this way, but at least it made Chinese basketball famous in Asia and even in the world.

At the same time, it also made China's only top basketball league, CBA, attract the attention and favor of many European and Asian players.

The screen returned to this game, after the defensive strategy in the second half of the first quarter took effect.

Mike Woodson did not hesitate to play in the second quarter and continued to adhere to the defensive strategy of 23 defenses.

Even as soon as the second quarter came up, the Hawks also adhered to the defensive strategy of two and three defenses during the rotation time of the Hawks and Rockets' bench lineups.

It's just that compared to the starting lineup with Xu Lang as an open help defender, the zone defense efficiency and zone defense intensity of the Eagles' bench lineup will drop a lot.

Of course, without Yao Ming and McGrady, the two top inside and outside stars, the Rockets' offensive efficiency has also dropped a lot.

This led to the fact that during the rotation time, the Rockets did not widen the point gap between the two teams, and the Eagles could not further shorten the point gap between the two teams.

In the 5th minute of the second quarter, when the rotation time of the two teams ended, the Rockets still maintained a one-point lead.

"Why does it always feel that the Rockets' lineup is not as thick as the Eagles'?"
