86. The Power of Combinations

With all the Chinese fans' attention, Chamberlain simply transferred the ball he had just obtained to Jackson, who quickly made a mid-range shot from a step further within the three-point line.

During the offense and defense transition, Alstom dribbled the ball skillfully through the half. Yao Ming stuck Chamberlain in the penalty area, and Alstom threw the ball and passed it over.

After Yao Ming got the ball, he hit Chamberlain's lower abdomen with his big butt. A huge force spread throughout the latter's body, staggering him and half a step away.

As soon as there was a gap, Yao Ming immediately put away the ball and turned to look at the ring. He grabbed the ball with both hands and held the ball on his waist. After stabilizing the ball, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and jumped up. Before the game, Chamberlain had carefully studied Yao Ming's game video. Yao Ming's actions are very clear now. He is planning to use the little hook he is best at!

Yao Ming's small hook is powerful and has high accuracy. In the current NBA, it is already the top killer move in the inside line, and few people can defend themselves. If ordinary people dare to play hooks in front of Chamberlain, he will definitely not be able to distinguish his hat from east, west, south, and north. But Yao Ming is different. The latter is too high, two meters, two and six, ten centimeters higher than him. His defensive ability is indeed strong, but not so strong that he ignores scientific rules.

Chamberlain, who had just pushed away, got stuck in one step, and his explosive chest muscles squeezed Yao Ming's shoulders, forcing his stable body to take a step back.

In this way, Yao Ming's attack rhythm was broken, which was also what Chamberlain discovered after research. Although Yao Ming is an inside line, his excellent playing style is similar to that of the outside line. It is not that his killing range is as wide as that of the defender, but that he has high requirements for the attack rhythm.

Yao Ming pushed Chamberlain back again, and the latter was prepared for it. His strong legs were as stable as a giant pillar. Yao Ming pushed him twice in a row without knocking him away. Instead, he was pushed several feet by Chamberlain when he was moving, and he was getting farther and farther away from the ring.

At this time, a black and white figure quickly penetrated from the left wing. Yao Ming took a quick step and stuck Chamberlain, and at the same time passed the ball over. A snow-white No. 1 jersey fluttered in the wind. McGrady rushed into the basket like lightning, bent her legs as if she was stepping on a spring, and dunked the ball in with one arm.

Fierce applause and whistle sounded at the scene. Yao Ming's support and McGrady's dunk were full of the beauty of basketball. Chamberlain was envious of this. This is the center forward, who can not only play singles, but also support passes.

During the offense and defense transition, Chamberlain also reached out to ask for the ball in the inside. Yao Ming rushed to him first and blocked Louis's passing route at once. But Louis still chose to pass the ball and used greater strength to throw the ball towards the ring.

Yao Ming's heart skipped a beat, and behind him the sound of his feet trampling on the floor, Chamberlain soared into the air like a sharp arrow shot from an angry bow, grabbed the ball with both hands, and buzzed into the ring.

Chinese fans began to applaud and cheer again. Whether Chamberlain or Yao Ming, they are their idols worshipped today.

Yao Ming shook his head in annoyance. McGrady came up and patted his shoulder with a smile, glanced at Chamberlain and said, "I'll give you the ball later. You can teach this little guy a lesson, just like we teach the rookies on the outside. Today you will also give your compatriots a good lesson."

Chamberlain slapped his chest violently and shouted: "If you have a genius, you can come in person, but before rushing into the penalty area, it is best to prepare a coffin for yourself!"

McGrady glanced at him again, waved her ball with her left hand and smiled, "Hey, rookie, you should be quieter, do you know that you are very similar to a bear baboon in heat now?"

There is no doubt that McGrath is going to organize the attack personally. When he thinks what he said to Yao Ming before, the Warriors player became nervous. Barnes touched McGrath and started pressing since he crossed the halfway line. Jackson was eyeing him and ready to make up for defense at any time. Chamberlain pushed Yao Ming sideways and tangled him desperately, leaving him with no time to take action to catch the ball.

McGrath dribbled the ball outside the three-point line. He squinted his eyes and looked at the frontcourt situation as if he hadn't woken up. Barnes bent down slightly. At this moment, McGrath's action suddenly accelerated, and the wind in his feet passed Barnes with speed.

Barnes turned around, Jackson came up to make up for defense, McGrady turned around and pressed her right shoulder on Barnes' shoulder behind, lowered her body's center of gravity and slapped the basketball very quickly. She took a small step and changed directions between Barnes and Jackson in two consecutive steps, and threw away the two and entered the penalty area.

Chamberlain suddenly became anxious and had to put Yao Ming behind him to face McGrady. Just when he was in a dilemma, Yao Ming suddenly retreated from behind and retreated from the inside line along the bottom line. This made Chamberlain happy and stopped paying attention to McGrady.

McGrath made great strides into the penalty area, Chamberlain's muscles tightly blocked him, and he was waiting for McGrath to jump, the latter is a famous deterrent in the league. He believed that with McGrath's arrogance and confidence, he would definitely fuck him from the front once. This guy is famous for his favorite to teach newcomers. The Little Emperor James and the Flash Wade are living examples.

Seeing Chamberlain come out, McGrath jumped up at him. Seeing this, Chamberlain smiled brutally and then raised his hand. He raised his hand high and stared at the ball in McGrath's hand. He just waited for him to take action and gave him a big hat to let him know why the flowers were so red!

As Chamberlain was waiting happily, the ball in McGrath suddenly flew horizontally, not towards the ring, and Chamberlain did not have the chance to confront McGrath head-on.

The ball left McGrady and passed it to Yao Ming, who was tall. When he made a jump shot, except for Chamberlain who could limit him, the others could only stare at him.

The Warriors' defense is really unreliable. After Yao Ming withdraws from the inside, he does not meet his opponent. After receiving the ball, he jumps gently and scores two points.

Seeing this cooperation, Adelman shook his head, frowned and seemed unhappy. This made Chamberlain feel very uncomfortable, and he curled his lips and sneered: "This old guy can really pretend. Fuck, those who pretend will be struck by lightning!"

Louis, who was serving, grinned and said, "No, Z, you misunderstood this old man. The reason he shook his head was very simple. Adelman arranged the Rockets with Princeton's pass rotation tactics, and the ball kept moving from areas with strong defense pressure to areas with less pressure. However, the two cooperations between Yao and McGrady just now were classic tactics from the Van Gundy era, which was obviously not what the old man wanted to see."

Whether Adelman wanted to see it or not, McGrady did not execute Princeton tactics he was unfamiliar with, but organized the offense as he wanted.

The Warriors made a shot and made a shot from Barnes. Hayes stopped Chamberlain and let Yao Ming grab the rebound. Alston dribbled the ball through the half. McGrady was in a hurry to get Chamberlain to attend class, so he cheered up and reached out to ask for the ball to play singles.

Seeing this, Adelman immediately stood up dissatisfiedly, covered his mouth with his hands to make a trumpet, frowned and directed: "Don't act irritating, follow the training, boys, hand the ball to the right person!"

McGrady glanced at Adelman. He stepped up from the defense against Barnes outside the three-point line and simply cut a three-pointer. He hit the three-pointer, and ran down with his eyelids and muttered: "Aren't I the right person?"

Barnes was not angry when he saw his defense ineffective. After hearing McGrady's words, he seemed to say kindly: "It seems that your head coach doesn't like you, McGrady, you need to show off. He doesn't seem to know that you were the two-time scoring champion."

Kobe fell into a singles misunderstanding in the last game, which led to the Lakers losing. The Warriors' favorite opponent now is this kind of opponent. Five-to-one is much easier than five-to-five, right? Besides, no matter how strong McGrath can he beat Kobe? Even Kobe's singles team will lose. If McGrath also plays like this, the Rockets will not have a chance of winning either.

Louis sleekly used Jackson's cover to throw away Alston and ran into the penalty area. Yao Ming was attracted by him and pulled away the defense against Chamberlain. Louis immediately passed the ball, but McGrady snatched the ball from the middle and took the lead and ran towards the frontcourt.

Yao Ming knew that he could not keep up with his teammate's speed. He used his huge body to block Chamberlain and Louis at the same time, and smiled and explained: "Don't care, Lao Zhang, how could I not know that it is dangerous to let you go? This is called seducing the enemy. I deliberately let you go and let your teammate pass the ball to you. McGrady has been waiting for this ball for a long time. Have you seen "Thirty-Six Strategies" and "The Art of War"? I suggest you take a look. That is the essence of the combat experience carefully summarized by our ancestors of the Chinese nation. If you can study it thoroughly, you can definitely walk sideways in the NBA!"

With four points in a row and one assist, McGrady was confident and attacked again. He waved his hand to signal Yao Ming to pull it away, holding the ball and facing Barnes and Jackson's double-team.

Both Barnes and Jackson are defensive tough guys, and they are not capable of it. One-on-one they are not McGrath's opponents, but if they join forces, McGrath wants to break through to them again, it would be almost a dream.

McGrath was trapped and kept rushing in, as if she was a sea fish trapped in a fishing net. She rushed to Chamberlain three times and two times. The latter subconsciously surrounded him. As soon as he let go, McGrath jumped up immediately and passed the ball to Yao Ming trembled his hand.

Yao Ming slapped the ball and stepped into the penalty area. There was no defense in the interior, so he rarely dunked with both hands.

Chamberlain served the ball to Louis with a dark face, and Old Nelson shook his head and waved his hand to ask for a timeout.

In fact, Old Nelson still doesn't take the Rockets seriously. In his eyes, this is just a strong regular season team and has no threat to the Warriors' championship journey. It's just that McGrady and Yao Ming played well. Chamberlain met such a powerful internal and external partner for the first time, and his performance was not satisfactory. Old Nelson wants to train him to make him grow faster.

Looking at Chamberlain with annoyed expression, Old Nelson smiled loosely: "Z, calm your mind. I understand your current mood. Don't be in a hurry. In fact, it is very simple to deal with Yao and McGrady. They are cooperation. What is cooperation? That is, the two people join forces together. As long as one of them is blocked, the cooperation between the two will naturally collapse."
