Two Hundred and Ten: [Snoopy's Final Verdict]
After Yao Huang left the field, the Rockets' offensive system lost its core bone in an instant. ? WwW.suimeng.lā
Luis Scola tried to drive the rhythm inside, but was taught by Doug with a clean block. Snoopy's streak of blocks made the Argentine realize that the essence of his spin could only end up being Snoopy's collection of blocked shots: Needless to say, it was a heart-wrenching realization.
But Ron Artest obviously hasn't woken up in time.
When Snoopy once again used the pick-and-roll to lead Shane Battier's defense into the paint and tricked Joey Dorsey's defense with a simple change of direction, Artest descended from the left side of the sky, and he Trying to give Snoopy a strong block.
But in the end, he had to not take advantage of the air, but was almost directly knocked to the ground by Snoopy, and also got a foul by the way.
beep!
The referee blew the whistle in his mouth and gave Artest an undisputed foul.
Artest turned, angry at Joey Dorsey's defense. "If you held the defensive position just now, this is a perfect block. But you were deceived by such an unskilled fake move. What is the difference between you and those stupid pigeons in the square? You don't need food at all, just raise your hand , you will fly away in the same direction."
Amid Artest's angry reprimands, Joey Dorsey lost his irritable temper in NAA, and he quietly stepped aside like a well-behaved elementary school student.
Now he has lost the qualification to stand on the same level as Doug. He is the last player on the Rockets' bench, and he can't even guarantee whether he can play in garbage time.
And Snoopy, once known as the copycat version of Joey Dorsey, has become the core player of the Miami Heat, leaping into the ranks of quasi-elite players.
boom!
Swish!
Made two free throws.
The score is enough to make Artest shudder.
This increased his hunting of Doug, and whenever Doug broke into the paint, he couldn't help but move forward.
Originally, he wanted to condescendingly create a psychological shadow on the rookie Duge, which put him in a dilemma. I took advantage of the trend and became the biggest winner of this Chinese derby. But now... the wild words before the game have become his inner demons: between the team and the individual, he began to tend to protect his own interests without a bottom line.
When Artest shrinks the defense quickly, it means that the Heat have more offensive opportunities on the outside.
So Dug passed the ball frequently and opened up the peripheral firepower.
The third quarter ended quickly, and the Heat once again overtook the score, entering the fourth quarter with 72 to 9.
Early in the fourth quarter, Doug didn't step onto the court.
He played the first three quarters and put a lot of physical energy on both ends of the offense and defense. It can be said that he has the most exercise in the audience. As the main player, he should have entered the first rotation break at the end of the first quarter, but he has been fighting until now.
Duger sat on the bench and watched the court quietly. The high-intensity confrontation did consume a lot of energy, but he thought it would be no problem for him to play another quarter.
At this point, the Heat replaced Mario Chalmers, Dorell Wright, James Jones, Sean Marion, Michael Beasley and Haslem.
Spoelstra wants to use the mobility of this lineup to play a stronger fast offense, so as to directly lock the victory.
At the same time, the rotation of the Houston Rockets is also very mobile, Brooks, Vaughan Weaver, Battier, Landry, Hayes.
After the players from both sides came on the field, they swept away the previous hand-to-hand combat situation. Start bashing each other.
Judging from the list of players on both sides, the talent of the Miami Heat can be said to crush the Houston Rockets.
but.
The rhythm of the game was gradually controlled by the Rockets' two fringe players. Brooks and Vaughn Weaver played a fierce and fast offensive. The two were like two fragile but sharp daggers ruthlessly inserted into the heart of the Heat.
On the other hand, on the Heat's side, Michael Beasley has become an obstacle to the fast break, and he is used to singled out from the ground. And...he's extremely disgusted with passing the basketball to Sean Marion.
Marion also didn't want to make any off-ball moves for Beasley, and when Beasley caught the ball, he simply stood outside the three-point line and walked. ..
The offensive end is still so competitive with each other, and the defensive end is even more disconnected from each other.
Beasley was not good at defense. When Sean Marion didn't give him his ass, he could only watch Carl Landry use an extremely simple back run to enter the penalty area to complete the alley-oop.
As a result, the Rockets gradually tied the point difference and began to overtake.
"Chalmers, control the rhythm."
Spoelstra stood on the sidelines more than once to remind Mario Chalmers.
But Chalmers is not a fast-break guard, and his control of the ball under fast offensive and defensive transitions is not very good. Moreover, he is a staunch member of Beasley's gang, so he will not pass the ball to Marion.
This exacerbated the division of the Heat's lineup on the field.
Adelman stood on the sidelines and watched happily. He was originally worried that this rotation would lead the Rockets to complete death. After all, Yao Huang's physical fitness has become a problem now. dominated.
But looking at the current scene, Yao Huang can rest for a few more minutes.
Swish!
When Vaughan Weaver hit 3 three-pointers to widen the point difference to 7 points.
Duger stood up, and he told Spoelstra: "Let me go, if this continues, our strategic advantage in the third quarter will be wiped out. Yao Huang must not be given too long a rest."
Spoelstra did not hesitate and quickly arranged for Doug to play.
When Doug walked onto the court, Ron Artest, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help being a little anxious. He was worried that Doug would quietly complete the great cause of 5 points when he was not playing. So he walked up to Adelman and asked to play.
Adelman told him: I will not call a timeout for this, so you can only wait for the next opportunity to stop the ball.
To be honest, Adelman didn't like Artest's performance tonight, like a deranged patient who kept doing things that split the team. He even wanted Doug to get 5 points earlier, which might stimulate Ron Artest to return to the team and play a normal level of defense. Instead of blindly going to the penalty area to perform unnecessary double-teams.
Doug seems to be hanging Artest on purpose.
After he controlled the ball, he didn't directly attack the basket, even though Brooks was defending him.
He called out Michael Beasley, covered himself, and after attracting the misplaced defense, he took two strong steps. The Rockets quickly shrank the defense, and Snoopy had quickly passed the ball to the bottom corner.
Marion catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer... Whoa!
The difference is further narrowed.
When Beasley saw that Doug actually passed the ball to Sean Marion, he was immediately a little upset.
He was about to complain, but Doug had already started.
"Look, Michael. Jordan never took the off-court grudges on the court. Even he would throw his fist at his teammates in training camp. But he never didn't give Grant or Kerr or Perdo a game. Pass the ball." He told Beasley very calmly: "A leader must have the demeanor of a leader."
Beasley's manic mood quickly calmed down. He liked the feeling of chatting with the puppy. He was smart and nice, and he was especially good at metaphors.
This metaphor makes Beasley's heart ecstatic: Who doesn't want to be confused with Michael Jordan.
Therefore, he suppressed his bad feeling towards Marion.
At the same time, Doug also had a conversation with Marion. He hoped that Marion could set an example on the defensive end.
Marion is in a state of obedience to Snoopy. He knows that Doug is the only player in the entire Heat team who can make his statistics soar. He always thinks that the dog has the taste of Nash, and his passes are always timely and accurate.
At the end of his career, he urgently needs a good resume to win a pension contract for himself.
So, when Doug spoke.
He immediately covered Michael Beasley on the next possession.
That allowed Carl Landry to get a loud block at the rim, from Snoopidoo!
He received a pass from Brooks while running back around Beasley's defense, but Marion's well-timed cover made him twist his body and try to layup.
At this moment, Doug fell from the sky and slapped his basketball directly off the backboard.
Then launch a fierce offensive.
Swish!
Dorell Wright caught a pass from Doug from beyond the arc and made an easy 3-pointer.
In an instant, only points remained.
Adelman's brows tightened.
Just as he was about to call a timeout, Sean Marion directly intercepted the serve in the frontcourt. He passed the basketball back to Doug, and Doug dunked easily after receiving the ball...Boom!
The Heat scored 8:0 and took advantage of the trend to overtake by one point.
The American Airlines Center arena was boiling, and many people were even shouting VP.
At this time, Artest, who was standing by the technical table, had a dull expression, and he looked at the scorer above his head.
3 points! !
His heart constricted suddenly because of this number, as if a donkey's tongue with a hala appeared out of nowhere in front of his eyes.
At this time, Adelman finally asked for a timeout, and in less than a minute, he went from leading by 7 points to trailing points: this made him unexpected.
Dug's playing ended the Heat's internal strife, and the offensive system was more reasonable and sharper under his combing.
Now, the Rockets must make a decision.
Either replace Yao Huang and enter the final battle. Or let the rotation lineup play for a while.
The answer comes out in 20 seconds.
Adelman still let Yao Huang sit on the bench, he replaced Scola, Landry, Artest, Battier, Kyle Lowry this lineup.
The defense of this lineup is stronger than before, and it is not far behind in terms of mobility.
However, offensive power remains an issue.
They don't have a strong point that can really open up the situation with the ball.
And on the defensive end, Artest's energy has been completely devoted to Snoopy, often causing some unnecessary mistakes.
So, 3 minutes later.
The Rockets trailed by 7 points.
At this time, there are still close to minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, and Adelman can only replace Yao Huang.
Yao Huang's physical fitness has recovered a little.
So, he scored in the penalty area as soon as he came on the field: Haslem plus Beasley was not his opponent at all.
But as soon as he scored, the Heat immediately ran wild.
Doug runs and guns with the basketball and makes quick shots up the frontcourt, and James Jones hits the 3-point line... BOOM!
Although not.
But the effect of making Yao Huang run wild has been achieved.
Looking back, Haslem was still circling forward desperately. When Yao Huang received the basketball, Duge quickly went to double-team. The high-intensity running and physical confrontation made Yao Huang's sweat that had just stopped flowing out quickly.
But... Whoa!
Still scored the hook goal.
When the basketball flew over his head, Doug realized how terrifying a real top center is.
But then, Doug launched a fierce offensive again, still lightning to the frontcourt, after a high pick-and-roll, handed it over to Beasley who was running down, and Beasley immediately rushed to the penalty area...to complete a one-handed dunk.
Then Yao Huang still played hard inside, and the Heat still used hanging defense.
When there are 2 minutes left in the game.
The Rockets finally tied the score.
But... Yao Huang's physical fitness also reached a critical point again. When he walked to the free throw line, he had to support his knees with his hands and take a few breaths before he started to make free throws.
boom!
When Yao Huang missed the extra free throw, Doug knew...it was time to slow down.
The Heat are no better than the Phoenix Suns. They have not received professional running and bombing training, so in the fast-paced attack mode, the shooting percentage of outside shooters is not very stable. In the few minutes after Yao Huang came on the court, they didn't hit a three-pointer.
Therefore, it was time to beat Yao Huang down and seal the victory.
When Dug came beyond the three-point line with the ball, Sean Battier still took a step to defend.
Dug called Haslem out, made a high-quality screen for himself, then suddenly accelerated, stepped quickly, and rushed towards the penalty area in a straight line.
Battier followed up quickly after evading the screen, but was still a step slower.
By this time, his physical fitness had also declined. But he didn't expect Doug to be as fast as in the opening, which surprised him very much. He couldn't help but think of that little monster of the Thunder team, that kid was still able to forcefully break into the paint area to complete the backbow dunk in the third overtime at the Toyota Center last time... So, he hired an alien as an assistant coach ? He actually trained two physical monsters.
puff!
When Yao Huang was bumped into by Doug, he confirmed one thing: Doug was more perverted than Westbrook. The power is too strong!
beep!
The referee blew his whistle, and he fouled Yao Huang for the fifth time.
Duge forcibly touched the porcelain when Yao Huang was moving laterally. This penalty is undisputed.
When Doug walked to the free throw line, Ron Artest's heart seemed to be strangled by a huge palm, and even breathing became difficult.
These two free throws are crucial for him.
Fortunately... bam!
The first ball misses.
Artest finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are only 2 minutes left in the time, and keeping the 5-point barrier is far more important to him than victory.
Swish!
Duger hit the second free throw for his 14th point of the game.
Afterwards, Yao Huang was directly intercepted in the frontcourt. Exhausted, he lost his position under the tireless defense of Haslem.
Adelman already had a bad guess at this time.
Subsequently, Duger completed a high pick-and-roll with Sean Marion in the frontcourt, and then double-line fast forward.
During this process, Ron Artest's defense was completely inclined to Dug's side, for fear that he would score. This allowed Marion to easily catch the basketball and drive to the basket, causing Yao Huang's sixth defensive foul.
When Yao Huang walked off the court.
Adelman looked very depressed. The Rockets had a habit of collapsing at the end of the quarter. Now that Yao Huang was off the field, the balance of victory and defeat suddenly tilted to the side of the Heat.
"If the game is lost, Artest has to bear 60% of the responsibility for tonight's failure, or even more. I am not referring to his double-team strategy for the ball just now. It is that he faced Duke before. He was disturbed by his own remarks before the game." Earl Johnson emphasized when the Rockets replaced Chuck Hayes: "His arrogant trash talk became a stab at himself. And the deadly dagger in Rocket's chest!"
"And...sadly, there's a good chance he'll both lose the race and kiss the donkey."
Charles Barkley almost laughed out loud.
He couldn't wait to give Ron Artest the title of 'Man of the Donkey'.
Swish!
Swish!
Shawn Marion made two free throws.
Subsequently, Artest hit Marion and missed a jumper.
Immediately afterwards, Doug entered the penalty area, attracted Artest to help defend and passed the basketball to Marion again, and Marion hit a three-pointer!
The Heat's lead reached 10 points again, with 3 seconds left.
Team Rocket's coffin can already clearly reflect the tongue pattern of the donkey.
boom!
Luis Scola misses layup.
Adelman stood up, he was ready to replace the main players;
At this time, Doug took the ball to the top of the three-point line in the frontcourt.
Then he shook his head at Sean Battier, who was coming up on defense, and then hooked Ron Artest.
This action instantly triggered a wave of cheers throughout the American Airlines Center arena.
Almost everyone stood up.
Because Snoopy raised the sword of punishment, all those who offended Snoopy before have been judged. Now, it's Ron Artest's turn.
Amidst the excited shouts of the fans in the audience, Artest walked up to Doug with a livid face.
"Do you know why I missed a free throw before?"
Doug smiled and told him, "I'm waiting for now."
"I can't be sure if you will attack me mindlessly after I score 5 points, so I can only wait until Yao Huang is kicked off the field and the Rockets are kicked to the edge of the cliff before executing the final judgment."
"Speaking of which, I really want to thank you."
Doug wasted his time while expressing his sincere thanks to Artest.
Although Artest knew that he was being used early on, he was still extremely upset when Doug said it so bluntly. He gritted his teeth: "You'll never hit this ball."
"hehe!"
Duge laughed loudly: "Then come on!"
