Chapter 461 [Forty + Twenty + Five + Five Super Center! 】

The Lakers' tactics are very simple. Damon Jones lobs the ball to low-post Yao Ming from the right, Hoiberg attracts defense from the right corner, and the three form a triangle.

Yao Ming received the ball and went one-on-one with his back, then turned and shot toward the baseline or in the middle. The Knicks' inside defense could not block his shot. The Knicks outside players double-teamed him, and Yao Ming took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming began to gain weight in the summer of 2005, increasing from 295 pounds to 310 pounds. His first skeletal injury in the NBA was a fracture of the metatarsal bone of his left foot in April 2006. It should be classified as an injury caused by weight pressure, so the injury caused by weight gain is significant enough in terms of time. It's only been a year and it's already having an impact.

Now Yao Ming is 8 kilograms lighter and can still play in the low post. Many people think that Yao Ming became dominant after gaining weight and was very soft before. In fact, in addition to suffering a loss against O'Neal, Yao Ming is also not weak against others.

In the 2004-2005 season, Yao Ming averaged 30.6 minutes per game, scored 18.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2 blocks, and shot 55.2% from the field. He only played for shorter periods of time and his scoring efficiency was higher than after gaining weight.

Yao Ming was even stronger in the playoffs, averaging 31.3 minutes per game, 21.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 2.7 blocks, while shooting 65.5% from the field. This is the most efficient performance of Yao Ming's playoff career, and his opponent is the famous human shield Dampier.

The Knicks have obvious weaknesses. They don't have a big man inside, and the tallest one is Muhammad at 208cm.

Yao Ming made 4 of 7 shots, Mo Williams and Diaw each scored two points. They started as substitutes and the Knicks failed to catch up with the score.

Five minutes later, Kobe and Rasheed also came back, replacing Hoiberg and Cook, and the team switched to a pick-and-roll.

The score has been leading, but Yang Rui thought Kobe's statistics were too poor and wanted him to come up and play for a while to try to get 30 points.

Seeing that the positional battle could not start, Brown also arranged a quick counterattack. Ben grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to his teammates, and the three of them immediately jumped off the ball.

What makes Brown collapse is that the Lakers can rely on fouls to stop the Knicks from fast breaks. Once Marbury and Sprewell break through, the players will hug Ben without the ball and send him to free throws.

There is a very annoying rule in the NBA. Only in the last two minutes of the final quarter can you foul someone without the ball. At that time, two free throws and one throw will be awarded. Ben Wallace's free throw percentage last season reached a career peak of 49%. Unfortunately, it dropped back to 40% in the first game of the season, and it was even lower today, with 2 of 10 free throws. Larry Brown couldn't bear it and replaced him.

On the other hand, Yao Ming made all his free throws in this game.

Smith said: "The gap between Ben Wallace and Yao Ming is too obvious. He couldn't defend or score today. Such a person squeezed Yao Ming away. I don't know how the New York fans feel now."

Barkley laughed: "The worst thing is that when Ben is off the court, the rest of the Knicks can't guard him. Jerry will not let the Knicks off easily. He will let the stars continue to play."

Having worked together, Buckley understood Yang Rui's character and guessed it correctly.

Yang Rui called a timeout to arrange tactics, and told Kobe and Yao Ming: "Protect yourself, don't get injured, reduce breakthroughs, try to score with jump shots, and don't give them the chance to foul."

"I'm a floor player, so I'm not easily injured." Yao Ming said with a smile.

Yang Rui complained wildly in his heart: You are the first to retire here, okay? !

When Brown saw the "drug-taking combination" return to the court, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It was impossible for him to save face today.

In the next game, the Lakers took the initiative and the score continued to widen. Unfortunately, Yao Ming's shooting percentage dropped and he only scored 45 points in the end. The Lakers won 117-91.

Even if Yang Rui arranged tactics and gave Yao Ming unlimited shot power, he only took less than 30 shots. Yao Ming is a selfless player and will not mess around just to increase statistics. Even in the Chinese CBA, his highest score in a single game was only 49 points.

In addition, tactics cannot make up for Yao Ming's biggest weakness, which is physical fitness.

Yao Ming's poor physical fitness is determined by his body shape, and he cannot build up his physical strength by increasing the amount of exercise.

The end result will be stress fractures, rather than building strength to the point where he can compete with shorter players.

In Yang Rui's previous life, as the absolute core of the Rockets, Yao Ming has always shown a lack of physical strength in the long regular season, and his outstanding performances are often followed by slumps. He will occasionally make Chinese fans feel excited and worried. ?

Yao Ming performs well at halftime in most games, but his halftime performance is sluggish or average, and he rarely performs well throughout the entire game. He is a superstar in one quarter, a star in two quarters, a second-rate star in three quarters, and an ordinary player in four quarters...

Van Gundy once said of Yao Ming that he only lacks Duncan's stability.

Yang Rui let Yao Ming play for 40 minutes and was replaced two minutes before the end of the game. Although he didn't score much in the second half, his teammates helped him catch up and he grabbed a lot of rebounds.

Yao Ming made 17 of 27 shots, 11 of 11 free throws, and scored 45 points, 22 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 5 blocks.

Yang Rui deliberately sent two players who were not good at guarding against breakthroughs to make it easier for the opponent to get to the basket and take action, greatly increasing Yao Ming's chances of blocking shots. Ben made a mistake when dribbling the ball in the second half and gave Yao Ming a steal, allowing him to complete all five statistics.

Ben Wallace only played 33 minutes, making 1 of 4 shots, 4 of 12 free throws, 5 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His statistics were not even a fraction of Yao Ming's.

Kobe also performed well, making 10 of 19 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists, and 2 steals.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Yao Ming broke many personal records in his first game, with career-high scores, rebounds, assists, highest number of shots, hits, and free throws in a single game..."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "I think Yao Ming is already an All-Star. He will definitely become a starter in the Western Conference this year."

Larry Brown felt so cold that he didn't come to the court to shake hands with Yang Rui and left the court in despair.

At the post-game press conference, reporters asked Brown about Yao Ming. He didn't know how to answer. He played such terrifying data as 40+20+5+5. He has no strength and cannot be achieved by just relying on brushing.

Those who can produce this kind of data are super centers, such as Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, etc. It is much harder to produce this kind of data in the 21st century. After all, a league with only 100 players including coaches is completely different from a league with 400 players today.

Yao Ming, who was so angry, did not maintain his usual low profile. "Ben couldn't guard me. When we were in the Knicks, we often played one-on-one, and I won every time. But Larry Brown just refused to use me. I don't know why."

The reporters in the audience were in an uproar, and the honest people were at odds with Brown.

A reporter asked, "What do you think of Jerry Young and Bromby?"

"It's incomparable." Yao Ming said categorically: "Jerry is the best coach. He will arrange suitable tactics for us and help us use our strengths. Brown will only talk about the tactics he wants to play, regardless of whether you can do it or not. If you are suitable, you will be forced to do so. If not, you will be replaced. They are not coaches of the same level at all."

Yang Rui’s evaluation of Brown was even more ironic. "I think people like Brown can't win the championship even if they play NBA games, so only the Knicks will treat him as a treasure. Now, everyone knows who is the super center."

A New York reporter asked: "The Lakers took a big lead in the second half, but you didn't replace Yao Ming until the last moment. Is this a brush with statistics? I think this is not his true level."

"That's a good question. When the Knicks visit Los Angeles next time, I will let Yao Ming play for another 40 minutes. Let's see if he is at this level." Yang Rui smiled and said: "Of course, he can't average this kind of performance per game. Data, because he is just a little giant, not Optimus Prime. He cannot transform into a big truck and drive back to Los Angeles from New York, so he has to fly with us."

All the reporters laughed.
