Chapter 802: Oden Doubts Life and Yao Ming Laughs

The first half of the Rookie Challenge lasted for more than six minutes, but before the first commercial timeout in the seventh minute, Oden, as the second-year core inside player, got his second foul of the game. Replaced by head coach Yao Ming.

Oden left the game, and second-year backup center Noah came on the bench.

When Oden came off the field and sat on the bench, he was still thinking about whether his right hand hit James' head or his beard.

Thinking back to the man who threw himself into his arms and was hit by him in an unknown place, Harden looked at him with innocent and confused eyes. He was willing to believe in this big man with such innocent and confused eyes. Beard is not a bad person who commits fouls, but...

As far as his current defensive ability is concerned, when he is defending, it is average, no, not average. It is impossible for him to block the shot in the wrong place, hit the opponent's head or other places!

If it is true that Harden did not deliberately get involved, that is to say, he thought he had practiced very well, even fully practiced defensive skills, but in fact he has not yet fully practiced, and there are still loopholes?

Greg Oden sat on the bench and looked at his right hand, which changed from an open state to a fist state.

He was indeed complacent before!

There is still room for improvement in his defense!

Oden sat off the court and doubted his life for a while, but on the court, the game between the first-year and second-year players felt a bit like a sudden change.

Oden is the core of this year's second-year offense and defense. Without Oden, the second-year team lacks not only defensive toughness, but also offensive strength and stability.

No matter how uncomfortable the offense before the sophomore year was made by the first-year defense, Oden can attract someone on the court even if he is attracting a double attack.

After Noah replaced Oden, not to mention whether he could replace Oden defensively, but on the offensive end, he couldn't beat Gasol one-on-one, let alone attract a double attack like Oden. .

The direct consequence of this is that Nick Young, Yi Jianlian and Conley clearly feel that the pressure they are experiencing on the court has become greater.

At the same time, the already difficult offense in the second grade became even more difficult.

Also, although Noah's defense is very good, it is compared to other insiders in the league.

Compared with Oden, who is currently the leader of the four young insiders in the league, Noah's defense is at a disadvantage in all aspects.

Noah's help defense may be the closest to Oden's help defense.

But before, Oden blocked the singles of James Harden, Westbrook, Derrick Rose and Mike Beasley by himself, not with his help defense, but with Oden's single defense at the basket!

Oden can not only trap Gasol under the basket, but he can also trap Gasol and then defend the first-year outside players who get to the basket. He also defends very well. He is simply a step above the rest on the court. The existence of files!

But after replacing Noah, the situation on the court was completely different.

Noah's single defense is also very strong, but Noah's height and weight are far behind Oden, and it is difficult to even stop Gasol.

Not to mention that after blocking Gasol, he can also defend Westbrook, Harden, Ross Beasley and others who rush in from the outside.

Such changes on the court made Yao Ming quite uncomfortable. More than seven minutes into the game, during the first commercial timeout, Yao Ming replaced Jeff Green, who lacked confidence, and replaced him with only one of the remaining second-year players. There is a defensive big man, Al Horford.

Al Horford and Noah are interior teammates at the University of Florida, and their cooperation is indeed a tacit understanding.

Al Horford's presence can protect the basket more effectively than Yi Jianlian.

but……

When Rose, Westbrook, James Harden, and Mike Beasley rush to the basket, Horford or Noah are really unstoppable!

The singles fight between these four people was too brutal!

“Every offensive play for the first grade team is a one-on-one play!”

"If one-year defense is Washington University's unlimited defense, then first-year offense is unlimited isolations!"

"Harden is alone, Westbrook is alone, Rose is alone, Mike Beasley is still alone!"

"More importantly, let's not talk about the other abilities of these four people. They are really strong in singles!"

"The problem for the second graders now is not only that there was a problem in the paint after Oden came off the court, but the problem for the second graders now is that the outside can't guard the singles of the first graders at all!"

"It's so easy for second-year outside players to enter the paint. Even if Oden is still on the court, sooner or later he will be sent off for too many fouls!"

"I now know that Yes did not use other tactics on the offensive end at the beginning of this game. Instead, they directly used this rotating singles tactic that seemed to be xjbd, because they knew the penetrating ability of these first-year singles players. It's too strong, even if the efficiency is not that high, it can still kill the second-year insiders, not to mention, their singles efficiency is not bad after Oden comes off the court!"

"Compared with other offensive tactics, the unlimited singles tactic that Yes came up with in this game is simpler, more direct and more effective!"

As the game progressed, countless commentators from all over the world who complained about Ye Si's offensive tactics at the beginning have changed their tune.

Because what's happening on the court now is so amazing.

Before the start of this game, many people were optimistic about the second grade, because the nine players in the second grade are more balanced, both inside and outside, while in the first grade, the outside is slightly stronger, but the inside is really not that strong. It can be said that He was beaten!

Generally speaking, it is difficult to reverse this situation.

According to many NBA expert coaches before the game, even if the legendary NCAA coach Lorenzo Romar serves as the first-year head coach, it will be difficult to bridge the gap between the two teams.

But now?

Master Lorenzo Romar hasn't even appeared yet, but his apprentice Yes has directly eliminated the second-year inside advantage!

This is really, really incredible!

"Use Lorenzo Romar's unlimited defense changes to stabilize the defensive end of the small lineup, and then use the singles advantage of the small lineup to blast away the second-year inside line..."

This tactical idea left Phil Jackson and many basketball professionals on the sidelines dumbfounded.

Let’s not talk about other things first, let’s talk about tactics and coaching. Yes, this is also a genius!

Except for Master Lorenzo Romar, no basketball coach may have such a clear understanding and attainment of basketball tactics!

And this is the first game coached by Yes!

His basketball experience is nothing compared to famous coaches like them who have played thousands of games in the NBA!

"This kind of understanding of basketball is really incredible..."

Phil Jackson's sigh really comes from the heart.

On the court, the first-year Yes team is beating the second-year Yao team!

On the side of the court, the fans on the scene were shouting the name of Yes crazily, and the magical number that has now become the most famous number in the NBA!

Listen to the fans on the sidelines shouting crazily '58! ’ As a second-year head coach, Yao Ming is really helpless.

In today's NBA, whenever a possible big score appears, fans will shout out this number.

To put it another way, when the fans collectively boo the number, it means that this game is likely to have a big score!

Yao Ming is not sure whether he will be beaten by 58 in the end.

But now, there is indeed such a risk.

A little more than half of the first half was played, and the score on the field was already almost 20 points behind!

36 to 16!

This score!

This is why Oden played six minutes on the court. It would be terrible if Oden was not on the court for these six minutes.

In order to make this year's Rookie Challenge more exciting, this year's Rookie Challenge has a rule of six fouls and leaving the field!

In the past, the NBA Rookie Challenge did not have six fouls to leave the game. Instead, when a team's total number of fouls reaches 10 or the second foul within 2 minutes before halftime, the opponent will get a free throw. Chance.

The rules of the previous Rookie Challenge were somewhat biased towards NCAA rules.

It’s really unfriendly to be the head coach in the Rookie Challenge this time!

Facing the menacing first grade, what can he do?

Apart from going to Oden, he has no other option!

Finally, 14 minutes into the game, Yao Ming once again replaced Oden, who had committed two fouls.

After Oden came on the court, the situation in the second grade has been significantly improved on both the offensive and defensive ends.

"Auden is still strong!"

Not only many of the audience and reporters and media professionals at the scene were sighing, but Ye Si also nodded secretly in his heart.

After Oden came on the court, the fans around him have been leading the fans to shout crazily, '58! ’ O’Neal’s voice was somewhat lagging.

Oden's appearance made the arrogant O'Neal unable to shout anymore.

James, who was sitting behind Ye Si, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He has no interest in the Yes team beating the Yao team by 58 points. What he wants more is for the Yao team to beat the Yes team by 58 points.

The reputation and aura around Yes are already high enough. Now that he is so good as a coach, it really makes Yes competitors like him despair.

He wants to surpass Yes in all aspects. Will he also surpass Yes and coach James Zhan in the coaching field in the future?

James, who was in random thoughts, shook his head quickly!

Before Oden came on the scene, there were signs of a slight collapse in the second grade. After Oden came on the scene, everything was stabilized.

But the good times didn't last long. Three minutes into the game, Oden was fouled again!

"James Harden breaks through!"

"James Harden made another ball-hugging breakthrough. James Harden's head and beard are still swaying!"

"Greg Oden fouled again!"

"Greg Oden's right hand hit James Harden's beard again!"

Seventeen minutes into the game, James Harden once again caused a defensive foul on Oden.

Seeing the bearded man sitting on the ground in front of Oden with a blank look and innocent eyes, Rose and Beasley who went up to pull him up were stunned.

It's really difficult to commit a foul on Oden!

But this bearded man with little strength could actually cause Oden to foul twice in this game!

Isn't this incredible?

"This kid's foul-making gesture is so mean!"

O'Neal, who was somewhat suppressed by Oden, came to life again after Oden committed his third foul in this game!

O'Neal said James Harden's foul-drawing gesture was cheap?

Really cheap.

Especially combined with James Harden's talent of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

As long as he is willing to be beaten, he can be very sensitive to where his body is most likely to cause a foul.

His plan for this game was not to cause a foul on Oden. The offensive tactical literacy of these young first-year players is generally not high, but their singles are very strong, so unlimited singles and counterattacks on the offensive end are the best way.

Yesdu didn't expect that James Harden would actually turn his offensive tactics into tactics that caused Oden to foul.

James...Harden...

Inside the Sonics, many are saying something turned on for James Harden after he was elbowed by Artest.

Ye Si has always felt that this button allowed James Harden to overcome his fear.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, James Harden always likes to retreat when faced with danger.

This talent is very strong, but if the player is too fearful, then the person with this talent will not be reliable at critical moments.

Being elbowed by Artest made Harden realize that his talent can even protect him.

He doesn't have to be afraid of anything. Just like in this game, he is not afraid of being slapped by Oden. He puts his head and beard under Oden's palm. It doesn't matter if he is slapped. Anyway, the body's talent of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages can Protect him to the maximum extent so that he can avoid maximum harm.

The pain may really hurt, but as long as you are not afraid of the pain, you can still cause Oden to foul.

Ye Si's eyes narrowed when he saw James Harden twisting his neck and jumping to his feet after being slapped by Oden.

This talent...

He got to know him again!

Oden on the court really has a feeling of ruining his outlook on life.

Oden was fouled twice by James Harden, but Yao Ming did not dare to replace Oden.

I really don’t dare to change it!

But when halftime ended, James Harden and Gasol were watching the pick-and-roll switch on the court, with their backs leaning on Oden. Facing Oden's defense, Harden turned around and put his hands under Oden's armpits. A flirtation...

"Big, big loop?!"

Seeing the confused Oden on the court, the audience and Yao Ming were shocked.

"Four, four fouls? Oden was fouled again by James Harden in the first half. This was his fourth foul of the game!"

"It's dangerous. The second-year team is completely in danger now!"

To be honest, before this game started, no one in the world thought that the star of this game would be James Harden!

Oden was fouled four times at the end of the first half, which had a huge impact on the trend of the game!

When the game ended, looking at the big score of 146 to 88 on the sidelines, Yao Ming shook his head with a wry smile.

He really didn't expect that when he was the head coach and led a stronger team, he would be led by Xiao Yezi, who was also a novice coach, and beat the team to a score of 58!

Originally, the first grade side could win more, but...

Those little guys in first grade only win 58, which is really uncomfortable.

At the moment the game ended, Yao Ming had a wry smile with the word "囧" on his face.
