NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

In the NBA game, one-on-one defense, under normal circumstances, as long as the defender fails to score the opponent, then the defense is considered successful!

Long Fei and Maddy went head-to-head for the first time, and Maddie shot the iron.

But Long Fei didn't think he was successful in defense.

......

Judging by the results, he did succeed defensively, as Maddie didn't get a point.

But judging from the process, the situation did not satisfy Long Fei.

First, Maddie shot almost in front of him.

To some extent, this is almost not taking his defense seriously, although this kind of dry pull-up jumper that ignores defense is Maddie's signature, but Long Fei is now the strongest outside defender in the league, but he has not formed any deterrent to the opponent, for him, there is still a sense of frustration.

Secondly, after this defense, the [morale] gained was not much.

According to the experience of previous games, a successful defense can gain a [morale value] of 20+, which is very happy.

No matter how bad it is, you have to gain 10 [morale] points to be considered successful.

It's only 5 o'clock this time, what's the matter?

......

In short, Long Fei was not very satisfied with this result.

He wanted a stronger effect!

......

But Maddy's offense could only be regarded as a trial shot, and in the next offensive round of the Rockets, the ball hit Da Yao again.

And the latter is still unstoppable on the inside.

Fortunately, the Mavericks' offense is also very sharp and can respond.

Maddie was substituted early after playing half a quarter and only making one shot, and the Mavericks also made a substitution and won Long Fei.

Obviously, the Mavericks are planning to let Long Fei and Maddie go down to the same page.

......

When the first quarter of the game was 9 minutes into the game, Da Yao, who had 17 points and 4 rebounds

, was replaced, and Maddie was back on the field, and he was going to start with a rotation lineup! This is exactly the way the Rockets are Xi to use people this season, in the first half, the Rockets will separate the main offensive time of Da Yao and Maddy, Da Yao will play the first half first, and then let Maddie go off the court early, and then go on the court to lead the rotation lineup.

to ensure the continuation of the firepower of the Rockets.

......

Mavericks assistant coach Avery Johnson stared at the opponent's substitution schedule, and when he saw the Rockets replacing Maddie, he immediately came to Long Fei's side and said

, "Dragon, play!" However, just as Long Fei was about to play, he was told by the referee on duty: "The Mavericks' substitution request is too late, and the next dead ball can be replaced!"

Although the little general Johnson frowned and explained that he applied for a substitution at the first time, the referee still did not make any changes.

Long Fei waited on the sidelines like this.

......

In the meantime, Maddie has already begun to go berserk

! Two consecutive pull-up jumpers, and then broke through to the basket and a violent dunk!

Josh Howard had no way to stop his scoring, and the Rockets, under the leadership of Maddy, quickly opened up the point difference, and the entire Toyota Center was also fanatical.

"See, this is the strength of the scoring champion, no one can guard against Tmac

!" "Our Rockets are both inside and outside, and the Mavericks are not our opponents at all

!" "That's right, Da Yao is invincible under the basket, and once Maddie also finds his touch, we are invincible!"

......

The pride of Rockets fans naturally comes from Maddy!

With the strongest players in the league on the inside and outside, they are entitled to pride.

This, combined with the recent impressive record of the Rockets, has led them to believe that they will become the most formidable title contenders once they complete the reinforcements.

When the time comes, no matter what Mavericks or Spurs, they will all stand aside.

......

Fortunately, Long Fei didn't wait too long, there was a dead ball on the court, and he finally came on the court to replace Josh Howard.

Josh Howard, who was beaten several times by Maddie in a row, at this time the whole person withered like a frosted eggplant, and when he saw Long Fei on the field, his eyes suddenly had a little more strength, and he looked at Long Fei's eyes as if to say: "Dragon, it's up to you, you must give that guy a little color to see!"

Long Fei returned with a firm look at him!

......

Houston fans at the scene, when they saw the Mavericks take the rookie of the so-called best defensive player in the league, were mostly dismissive.

"The Mavericks have replaced their strongest defender, and are coming to limit Maddie? I think he's going to be the scoring champion!"

"That's it, just a rookie, but he dared to fight in the previous game, was positive, and gained a lot of data, and he was still too tender to defend a super scorer like Maddie."

"Look, Maddie will blow him up too!"

......

Houston fans don't care too much about Long Fei, and even Maddie herself probably thinks the same thing.

When he is in this state, he will not be afraid of any defender in the league, and winning the scoring title for two consecutive seasons has proven that no one in this league can defend him one-on-one.

In the face of Long Fei's dry pull before, he didn't throw it, because he didn't feel good about it, and he had no relationship with the defender.

......

The substitution ended, the game continued, and the Mavericks had the ball.

Terry's breakaway pullup jumper missed.

The Rockets protected the rebound, and when the ball dribbled to the frontcourt, they gave the ball directly to Maddie through an off-ball screen.

And Long Fei quickly came to Maddie after passing the cover, and he did not lose his position.

At this point, Maddie decisively motioned for his teammates to pull away, and he was going to play singles.

In other words, it's time to teach the rookie in front of him the so-called strongest defender in the league a good lesson.

......

Pull away, dribble ......

Despite Maddy's height of 203, he has the delicate skills of a defender and agility.

This makes Maddie absolutely dangerous when he is alone with the ball.

Fake acceleration

, change direction, and change direction again! Maddie was in the area of half a step inside the three-point line, and suddenly two large changes of direction, and he threw off the gap with Long Fei and obtained a half-empty shooting space

! The huge shaking also amazed the fans at the scene

! This is his signature shaking, the whole action is done in one go, quite coherent, and then, Maddie closes the ball, jumps high, and is ready to shoot in a landmark emergency stop!

......

It's now!

" Activate, [Limit Fill]!"

......

Just when the fans thought that Maddie would easily throw into this almost empty long-distance shot, Long Fei, who was shaken off by Maddie, suddenly accelerated on the spot, came to Maddie's side, and then burst out and dropped Maddie's shot in the air!

Suddenly, tens of thousands of rocket fans on the scene were stunned!
