Two Hundred and Nine: [Progress Visible to the Naked Eye]

Sean Battier graduated from Duke University and is the favorite student of Coach K. WwW.suimeng.lā was once the leader of the Grizzlies after entering the league, but after joining the Houston Rockets, he gradually gave up his offensive pursuit and turned to concentrate on becoming a 3D player.

Shane Battier is a recognized defensive expert and locker room leader in the league. The difference between him and Artest is that he is always personable, and some people even call him 'President'. His defense is also different from Artest. Artest's individual defensive ability is better than team defense, while Sean Battier's ability to assist defense is higher than individual defense: he is good at taking advantage of his teammates . For example, when defending outside attackers, he prefers to drive the opponent to Yao Huang's side and use Yao Huang to form a huge barrier against him!

After the restart of the second half.

Doug is back at point guard and ... either in quick attack mode or down the floor.

This is a great challenge to his 'organizational literacy'.

Brooks is also eager to try in front of Doug, trying to steal Snoopy: He always has a kind of fanciful confidence in the point guard who has changed his career from the inside coolie, thinking that as long as he reaches out fast enough, he will be able to take the ball out of Doug’s hand .

But Doug let him down, even when dribbling in place, Brooks couldn't get close. One reason is that Doug's body is very strong, and Brooks is no different from bean sprouts in front of him. The second reason is because his ability to protect the ball is very good, the basketball seems to grow in his hands, like his arms and fingers!

When Doug's first ball broke into the basket with a crushing momentum, he attracted a double-team pass to Marion and hit a mid-range jumper.

His defender becomes Shane Battier.

Battier took a defensive stance, and he was not prepared to engage in high-intensity physical contact with Doug.

In this situation, Dug, who has no shooting ability, is relatively difficult.

He could only use the cover of his teammates to continuously accelerate and attack the penalty area, but the smart Battier quickly followed behind and formed a block within the semicircle.

However, Doug's passing awareness and ability exceeded Battier's imagination, and he began to pass the basketball frequently.

However, his teammates did not have a high shooting percentage and frequently hit the iron.

Fortunately, because Yao Huang was surrounded and double-teamed by the Heat's two insiders and Doug's madness, the Rockets' shooting rate was not high.

Peripheral players also became inaccurate due to the high-intensity confrontation on the defensive end.

In this style of play like a meat grinder, the number of fouls committed by both teams is astonishing, and the number of goals scored is pitifully small.

The game progressed to the 9th minute of the third quarter.

The Rockets finally relied on Yao Huang's turnaround jumper to hit a shot that tied the score.

At this time, Yao Huang's whole body was completely soaked, and his running speed dropped significantly: on the defensive end, he had to meet Duge's collisions again and again. On the offensive end, he has to face the continuous siege of two or even three Heat players at the same time. Every catch is a battle, and every turn has to hang two players on his body.

This kind of defensive strength surprised the commentators of TNT. "Why did you suddenly play a playoff-level defense?"

Although the point difference established in the first half has been tied, Pat Riley, who is sitting on the sidelines, is still relieved. He likes this kind of iron-blooded defense that is dense and completely unafraid of confrontation. Although the penetration of the perimeter is not enough, the blockage of Yao Huang in the interior has definitely reached the level of the playoffs or even the semifinals.

At this time, Doug on the court held the ball again and came beyond the three-point line.

Standing in front of him was still Sean Battier.

Battier looked at Snoopy in awe, even though Doug didn't score any points on his own defense.

But his aggression against the Rockets' defense was visible to the naked eye. He used the pick-and-roll to go deep into the penalty area almost every time, and to a great extent tore the defenses of Luis Scola and Yao Huang, and even the nervous Ron Artest was also involved by him. This allows his teammates to get a lot of opportunities, if they hit a little higher, Houston will still be behind.

And, what scares Battier the most is... this kid is making progress. As a defender, he clearly felt that Snoopy's control of the breakthrough rhythm was more precise, and his footsteps were more concise and quicker. Some sharp changes of direction even reminded him of Heat star Dwyane Wade.

Battier is now worried about the fourth quarter. As Yao Huang's physical fitness declines at a rapid rate, the barrier advantage of the inside line will quickly collapse by then. At that point...will he attack the rim on his own? Can you defend yourself?

Battier was in doubt.

At this time, Doug called Joel Anthony to the frontcourt again, and then he started the fast attack mode.

Just as Battier felt, Doug's breakthrough footsteps became more and more sharp and concise. He directly stepped to the left, opened Battier's defensive position, and then accelerated again in the second step, which made Battier even Turn around in advance and still fall behind.

Then quickly rush into the paint area.

Although at this time, Battier was still following behind him, but he rushed to the basket with a dodge.

Yao Huang had already raised his hands to form a barrier at this time.

Usually at this time, Doug will choose to pass the ball.

But this time, he stopped suddenly. And while Battier quickly posted on the defense, he made an upward shooting action.

At the moment, Yao Huang's center of gravity was a little bit upward, and he made a gesture of covering the sky to block the shot.

However, this is a feint.

Duge quickly collected the ball, and at the same time Yao Huang was going to withdraw his hand, he suddenly jumped up to meet him... After the rapid decline in physical fitness, Yao Huang's ability to control his huge body was also slow.

So...beep!

The referee under the basket blew his whistle without hesitation: Yao Huang's hands violated Duge's shot.

Although... Shane Battier reached out very quickly, indicating that he was fouled by reaching out before shooting.

But the referee was still unmoved and gave Yao Huang his fourth personal foul.

This foul number is very dangerous, because there is still a full quarter of the game to be played.

Judging from Doug's current situation, he will definitely continue to make fouls.

Adelman pursed his lips and thought for a while. Waving to replace Joey Dorsey, I hope he can give Doug some obstacles in the penalty area. After all, he played against Doug when he was in the ncaa.

Swish!

Swish!

Doug made two free throws.

His score came to 10 points.

Only 5 points away from the entanglement between Artest and the donkey's tongue.

Artest's nervousness at this time is beyond words.

He exchanged a look with Sean Battier, and he hoped that Battier could take it more seriously.

Battier nodded calmly, but smiled helplessly in his heart.

Snoopy's current ability to hold the ball is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. With Yao Huang's end, he is bound to increase his attacks on the basket next. For a player with unlimited firepower, the '15 point' limit is simply too low.

At this time, Earl Johnson, who was sitting in the tnt commentary seat, finally saw through the essence of the game: "I guess for Snoopy, the biggest meaning of this game is no longer sending Ron Artest to his mother. Donkey side. Instead, use Ron Artest and Sean Battier, two excellent flank defenders, to improve the breakthrough kill with the ball. Tonight, his progress is very obvious, and he is more and more adaptable to the point guard role. Maybe... he'll be another Rondo."

Lagalondo, the fourth giant of the Celtics, a point guard known for his rebounds, often gets quasi-triple-doubles in single digits.

Similar to Doug in many ways. For example, neither can shoot, and both are good at rebounding.

But in fact, if you look closely, you will find the difference between the two. Apart from the extremely similar shot, there is little else in common. Lagalondo doesn't have the ability to get stuck under the basket, and of course he doesn't have the ability to stand under the basket to guard the basket.

So... Now it is actually extremely difficult to find an accurate template for Snoopy.

He's becoming his bling self.
