Chapter 627: The Wind Is Gentle and the Clouds Are as Calm as a Mountain!

"Did I hallucinate just now?!"

"There are actually defenders in this world who can hold Artest, take Artest half a step back, and then find space for a step-back shot?!"

"That's Artest! Even at the small forward position, Artest's strength is top-notch!"

"In any basketball game, Artest, who has a strength attribute of at least 95, was actually held up by a defender?!"

After a moment of silence, the entire Toyota Center instantly became uproar!

The scene just now was so incredible!

Not to mention the Rockets fans at the Toyota Center, even the audience in front of the TV looked in disbelief at this time.

Especially Kobe, who struggled with Artest in the last round.

Previously, Yes held Artest and got a chance to pass the ball with a back. There is no picture on TV of how Yes held Artest.

But after Yes caught the ball with his back, he saw the powerful collision with Artest for real!

He could tell that the collision of power was Artest's full force collision!

It was such a collision of power that Yes, who should have lost, actually pushed Artest back half a step!

The final result is actually indistinguishable!

Then Yes took advantage of the huge thrust caused by this collision and used his force-relieving technique that he didn't know how he developed to complete this incredible step-back long-distance shot.

Just when Kobe fell into that incredible emotion of astonishment, a replay of the scene on TV of Yesi carrying Artest with his back to catch the ball also appeared on TV.

Seeing this scene, Kobe even stood up in shock!

On TV, after Yes trapped Artest, Artest kept trying to squeeze Yes away from behind, constantly fighting against Yes with impact and strength.

once!

twice!

three times!

Faced with Artest, a force that could stagger him in the last round,

Yes, it was almost motionless!

"No, not motionless!"

Yes is using his experience to get stuck in front of Artest again every time he moves!

In the end, Artest had no choice but to watch Yes catch the ball with his back!

Seeing this scene being replayed on TV, Kobe was even more shocked than before!

This screen conveys too much information!

The power confrontation between Yes and Artest is similar. This is not a coincidence, but a fact!

Artest, a small forward who can stand up to many inside players in today's league, is actually about the same strength as Yes!

Another layer of information is that Yes, who rarely uses post-up techniques in games, has more experience in post-up techniques than Artest!

As a master of post-up offense, how could Kobe fail to see how difficult it is for Yes to constantly adjust his steps to trap Artest behind him?

Is that something ordinary people can do?

Even if it were him, if he had the power of Yes to fight against it, he could only barely do it.

The key is that he doesn't have the power to fight against Yes, and similarly, he can't do it as easily as Yes!

"This little fat guy..."

Kobe is really stunned now.

Yes is gaining weight, something the whole world can see.

Many people are not optimistic about Yes's weight gain.

Can you gain a Randolph by gaining weight?

Do not make jokes!

If Randolph showed up so easily, who would Duncan go to call the police?

But……

Looking at the Rockets player No. 96 on TV who is still confused, Kobe can really understand why this guy is still confused.

But seeing Artest like this, Kobe didn't have the slightest sympathy, he only felt a deep sense of relief!

Artest is really confused right now.

Not to mention what level his strength is in the NBA, his strength is definitely the best among NBA perimeter players.

To put it mildly, among the five starting players on the Rockets, only Yao Ming has better strength than him.

It is precisely because his strength is good enough and his back defense is good enough that he can successfully use the wolf tactic against the Lakers and Rockets.

What kind of person is Kobe?

The strongest outside line in the league in post-ups!

Who is Randolph?

Perhaps one of the strongest post-ups in the league!

As for the wolf pack tactic, the most feared thing is the post-up!

If Kobe can use his post-up play, the wolf pack tactic will have no effect.

In the end, under his extremely aggressive defense, it was difficult for Kobe to catch the ball with his back!

Every time Kobe catches the ball, he needs to go out to catch the ball. Every time he goes out to catch the ball and is close to him, he can only break through him under his confrontation. Once he breaks through, either McGrady or Roy is in front of him.

If Kobe Bryant attacks these two people head-on, he can take action. If he wants to turn his back, he has just completed the preparations for turning his back, and he is behind him again.

It can be said that as long as he does not defeat him head-on, Kobe will not be able to use his back attack well in the series!

When he doesn't care about being penetrated by Kobe and goes all out in every confrontation with Kobe, what can Kobe do to defeat him head-on!

Kobe is strong, but in terms of power, he is one of the top five or even top three perimeter players in the NBA. Kobe is only in the top 20 at most!

Shooting guards cannot be compared with small forwards!

And this is why Randolph can show off his power, but Kobe can only fail in the same way!

After locking down Kobe, Artest has always felt that he has reached perfection in defending perimeter players in the wolf pack tactics.

There is no outside player in the world who can post up under his defense.

In the NBA, is there any outside player who is better than him?

Of course there are, such as LeBron James.

But LeBron James...will he post up?

Therefore, he always felt that he was invincible!

With top strength, top skills, and excellent physical fitness, he really doesn't fear anyone at all!

Even in the first quarter of the first game, when he was playing small tricks and was completely blown away by Yes, he and his team still believed in him.

In the system of wolf tactics, he is the core of perimeter defense. As long as he exists, Kobe and other perimeter back-up players will not be able to be stronger!

But now...

He was actually defeated!

That incredible power!

That incredible release!

And that incredible step-back jump shot!

As perfect as art!

In terms of strength confrontation, he could see that Yes's strength confrontation was really similar to his.

Coupled with Yes's incredible power-releasing skills, Yes's power confrontation is still a little bit better than his.

But he really couldn't believe that Yes's back-up skills were also better than his!

He doesn't believe there is a player in the world with better back-up skills than Kobe!

Moreover, this player is still a player who has only played less than 200 NBA games, and his usual style is not a back-up style!

This is a coincidence, this must be a coincidence!

In terms of strength, he can barely do it and can increase it by eating fat.

But the experience of playing style and the experience of competition are obtained by eating bread?

Even if he is not smart, he knows that this kind of plot will only appear in movies!

Even if it is successful, this kind of plot is the most fantasy plot!

Most of the fans who can show up at Toyota Center, except for the many celebrities and wealthy businessmen in the front row, are real fans who understand football.

As true fans who really understand football, most fans really know what it means for Yes to defeat Artest with a strong back-up in the first attack.

Especially since the series that eliminated the Lakers wasn't that far away, the scene of Randolph killing everyone under the Lakers' defense didn't last too long.

The wolf pack tactic is not perfect!

No tactic is perfect!

Not only Rockets fans know that Adelman, who has been wildly touted recently, has never been off the hook.

It's just that Artest's strength and defense on the outside are almost perfect, so the wolf pack tactics have reached a perfect level.

Just because of Artest's strength and defense, even if Jordan comes, it will be difficult, so Phil Jackson said that even if Jordan comes, he can't break the Rockets' wolf-pack tactics.

This is a fact!

But if there really is an outside line, strength confrontation, and post-up skills that are all superior to Artest, then the Rockets' wolf pack tactic will change from a perfect tactic for the Rockets to a deadly tactic. !

For Adelman, Yes's offensive attack was very scary!

Rockets fans weren't the only ones to be frightened.

He could feel that assistant coach Thibodeau next to him was also frightened.

There are also the Rockets management in the stands, especially Morey, who was already prepared to stop pretending. After the showdown, his face is now a little pale.

"This is not true, this must not be true, this is a coincidence, this must be a coincidence!"

The Toyota Center that was so crazy just now suddenly turned into what it is now!

League president David Stern, who was also sitting on the sidelines, felt a little unbelievable.

"I did nothing wrong!"

"His potential is indeed endless!"

I felt the uneasy atmosphere gradually spreading around me.

David Stern had a smile on his face.

In this series with the Rockets, he can show some of his presence.

But in the end, he held back because he didn't want James' tragedy to happen again.

He can encourage offense, but he cannot take the NBA, which is already on the right track, into a deflection again.

He has made mistakes before, and he feels sorry for James.

But the emergence of Yes has made him understand that what fans are more willing to see is the progress of players when facing difficulties on the court, rather than progress under external interference.

Otherwise, even if every NBA game has more than 250 points, no one will watch it.

He is willing to see Yes lighting the way ahead for himself in despair!

He believes that more and more NBA fans are willing to see this like him!

"The most valuable championship in NBA history..."

The smile on David Stern's face became even brighter.

This is really possible!

Ye's first attack was to beat Artest without any probing just to create pressure on the Rockets and increase the confidence of his teammates.

The effect is obvious, at least the effect of increasing the confidence of teammates is obvious.

In the following SuperSonics defensive round, Ye Si could clearly feel that the defensive attention and determination of the SuperSonics players on the field increased rapidly.

Similarly, Ye Si can also clearly feel that the Rockets players hesitated when attacking!

This is the first time that Yes has felt the hesitation of Rockets offensive players in the series!

"Did I read that correctly? The Rockets didn't attack Yes immediately in this attack?!"

Seeing that after Roy advanced to halftime, the first thing he did was not look for an opportunity to force Yes, but Yao Ming. This made many reporters and experts in the media box and commentators from various countries at the scene a bit uproar.

You know, the Rockets' strategy has always been to consume Yes!

This game is the harvest game after the Rockets have planned four games, and they should be able to implement their own strategy.

However, this time, they actually gave up!

"The Rockets players hesitated when attacking!"

"Yes's strong back attack made the Rockets players dare not exchange low shooting percentages for the consumption of Yes!"

"Yes's unexpected first attack made the Rockets players behave inconsistently on the court. Artest still wanted to attack Yes, but Roy handed the ball to Yao Ming!"

Yao Ming received Roy's pass and easily blocked Milicic's hook shot.

With Yao Ming's height, it's so easy to hook under the basket, as long as the pass can be passed in place!

So after Yao Ming completed the hook shot under the basket, his first action was to give Roy a thumbs up.

His explosion in the past two seasons is not only because his own strength has reached its peak, but also because the Rockets finally have a player who can pass the ball well for him!

"Brandon, Yes's attack was an accident!"

"Without clear instructions from the coach, you need to prove that Yes's attack was an accident. Otherwise, I can't be lucky enough to pass the ball to you at the risk of being ten points behind to consume Yes."

"Ron, you need to prove it was an accident."

Faced with Artest's protest, Roy shook his head.

"Roy's golf IQ is too high!"

Seeing Yao Ming hit two points to tie the score, Ye Si felt a little regretful.

As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Ye Si actually understands Roy. There are indeed some problems with his IQ, but there is no problem with his golf IQ!

If Artest is willful for a few rounds, Yes will have the confidence to seal the victory of this game at the end of the first quarter!

The impulsive Artest was choked by Roy's words.

He needs to prove that Yes's back hit was an accident!

He needs to prove that Yes is definitely not that powerful in back skills!

He needs to prove that Yes hitting him from behind will definitely not have such a terrible effect and such a high hit rate!

but……

Three minutes have passed!

Artest looked at the 8-6 score on the courtside scoreboard, with an expression of inexplicable shock on his face.

once!

twice!

three times!

Four times!

After Yes jumped up and passed the ball to Durant twice in the middle, he failed to defend Yes's post-up single once!

"The game only lasted three minutes, and Houston Rockets head coach Adelman requested a timeout!"

Adelman, who has always been immobile in this year's playoffs, actually requested a timeout at this time? !

Not only was Nelson surprised, but Phil Jackson in front of the TV was also surprised!

Watching the SuperSonics No. 9 on TV leading his teammates off the field calmly.

It was he who broke Adelman's calm!

Phil Jackson's eyes were flashing.

It was his first time to see such an incredible outside player!

This was the first time he saw an outside player who could do what Michael couldn't do so easily!

"Incredible!"
