Among people’s expectations, McGrady, as the sharp knife of the team, attacked the city for the team.

Artest has become the most solid shield for the team, so that the opposing star guards can’t find the channel to score goals.
Battier made a perfect supplement between these two.
The basic structure of the Rockets is composed of these people, and other people can also play a very good supplementary role to the team in terms of ability.
However, the Rockets can’t travel on their theoretical road. The most important thing is that McGrady’s play is very unstable this season. Injuries have prematurely annihilated the talent of this super scorer.
It is very difficult for the Pacers to win the Rockets if they rely solely on their paper strength. Because their tactics are restrained by the Rockets’ lineup, in fact, the Pacers still have many opportunities.
In the sixth minute of the second quarter, the Pacers were one point behind the Rockets 39-40, when Li Cheng and Granger replaced Rush and Chamos.
Li Cheng sent two assists in a row after playing, helping Granger and Lopez get 2 points respectively. The Pacers took advantage of the trend to overtake the score, and the situation on the Pacers’ court immediately changed once Li Cheng played.
Adelman is well aware of the importance of Li Cheng to the Pacers, so if the Rockets want to win this game, they must make a fuss about Li Cheng. In fact, this is just nonsense for the whole league, to win the Pacers. Just limit Li Cheng to death, but the problem is how to limit Li Cheng.
The way the Rockets take is to use Artest’s personal ability on the defensive end to defend Li Cheng alone. In addition, McGrady must also actively double-team.
Some time ago, McGrady was questioned a lot. Some Rockets fans even think that T-Mac has little effect on the team. At least he’s sorry for his role in the team. His salary is as high as 20 million. Recently, however, McGrady responded to those questions with an explosive performance.
Today, McGrady was very involved in the game and his defensive attitude was very good.
Adelman knows very well that Battier is difficult to restrict Li Cheng in one-on-one relationship. Last season, McGrady, who was crazy, failed to lead the Rockets to a victory from the Pacers. The chief culprit leading to the failure of the rocket is Li Cheng. This season, Li Cheng’s growth is amazing, and Adelman doesn’t think Battier can defend Li Cheng.
Adelman immediately began to change people, and the Rockets’ Big Three were replaced by all of them in an instant.
After the substitution of the rockets. The scene has returned to a relatively stable stage. T-Mac hit a jumper on the wing again, and the two teams kept a gap of 1 point.
If the game goes on at this pace, the game will return to the first quarter.
If all high tide stages are the same, then high tide is no longer called high tide. It’s like a person, you can’t eat meat forever, and a person who eats meat forever will spit out the greasy thing sooner or later.
God will not allow a high-profile basketball game to go on in an infinite rhythm cycle, and the stage of breaking this cycle will soon appear.
McGrady lost his first-quarter state. He missed three shots in a row, but the Pacers took advantage of the situation to hit an attack wave.
Ibaka used his body to eat "diamond" Scola after shaking inside. He gave full play to his advantages in the face of Argentina’s "diamond". In the last game against Nowitzki, Ibaka was almost completely exploded, and this scene once again found its own rhythm for Skoraibaka.
For a rookie, what Ibaka has done is perfect. He learned how to use his strengths to beat each other’s weaknesses. He will also choose the attack method according to the situation.
After Ibaka’s hook hit, Mike Roberts hit a mid-range shot in the bottom corner.
In this game, the Pacers’ inside line was empty, because they had no way to restrict Yao Ming. So they took the Jazz-Rockets approach in the playoffs the year before last. Use a player with flexible feet and a shot to contain Yao Ming. In the Pacers, Mike Roberts is a very suitable candidate.
Then jack was in front of the reasonable collision zone. A bomb-like projectile exploded in the basket of the rocket.
Taking advantage of his own potential, a three-pointer outside the Sung Jae Lee three-pointer violently collided with the basket and then bounced into the basket.
The Pacers hit a 9-0 attack wave.
Adelman immediately called a timeout. The old man’s expression is very helpless.
Facts have proved that it is a failure to use Artest to prevent Li Cheng.
Ron Artest is good at head-to-head contests, and he also prefers gambling-style steals. But Li Cheng just doesn’t like to have physical contact with his opponents. His running without the ball and dribbling are the types that Artest doesn’t like very much.
However, McGrady seems to have cooled down after a period of rest. The key is that his heart has cooled down.
Because of McGrady, Adelman had to overturn the way he thought before, and instead sent the ball to the inside, focusing on Yao Ming.
Adelman’s helplessness is only clear to himself. The rockets claim to be dual-core, but in many cases, their dual-core is only single-core.
T-Mac’s state fluctuates, and Yao Ming’s dominance in the paint is not enough. Neither of them is fit to be the boss of the team, and they can’t stand up at the critical moment.
During McGrady’s rocket career, the critical moment of 35 seconds and 13 minutes was more like a man with unstable function suddenly having a huge high tide.
It may take 100 years for others to come once, but McGrady can come once every 50 years, but you can’t come once every 50 years!
After returning from the suspension, the change of the rocket is very obvious.
Sometimes it’s good to have two stars who can be independent inside and outside. The existence of dual cores is not all bad for Adelman, at least when one flameout, the other can be topped immediately.
The Pacers didn’t take a defensive approach to Yao Ming. Because the defense around the front is actually very demanding for players.
After all, going forward is not just about asking the defender to block in front of the defended player, because one person can’t block all the passing routes.
Yao Ming is not an indoor model. He can move. Therefore, the defensive player who goes around can only prevent the ball from passing at an angle, which is often the passing angle of the player holding the ball to Yao Ming. And the other side needs to be on the front line. The other defender should block the passing angle between the player with the ball and the striker. This requires a higher degree of tacit understanding of the team’s defense, while it requires too much for a young team like the Pacers, which is strong and defensive.
Because if there is a mistake in the defense system around the front, then Yao Ming can easily put the ball into the basket, which is not worth the candle for the pacers.
So the Pacers chose the traditional defensive way against the center, and Mike Roberts wrestled with Yao Ming inside.
In fact, it’s just a little better than a detour, because Mike Roberts’ defense is no different from the paper defense in front of Yao Ming. Yao Ming ass a twist, easily turned hook hit.
