Chapter 241 Happy Boy Howard
In this game against the Rockets, the Thunder narrowly beat their opponents by 4 points.
叶昊单场砍下35分外加4个篮板4次助攻1个盖帽2二次抢断。
Another top score in the game.
This season, he has become more and more comfortable on the court.
However, they still suffered defeats in the next few games. They lost to the Celtics, Pistons and Lakers successively. With three consecutive losses, the team's winning percentage suddenly dropped below 50%.
For a while, there were more speeches and comments that were not optimistic about the Thunder.
Some Brick reporters also posted articles saying, look, I knew they couldn’t do it. How far can a team composed almost of first- and second-year players go? You don’t need to wrench your fingers to think about it.
The brickmen will always follow the waves, always standing on the top of the waves and playing with the waves.
This is what they do.
And Ye Hao's only skill is playing basketball.
If you hit the ball well, it's all good.
It's that simple, there's nothing to argue about.
He knew that those sharp waves would always revolve around him.
This season, the Thunder added four rookies, and then traded and signed several new aids in the free agent market. It is natural for the team to need to adjust.
This is basically a brand new team. The old players from last season are Ye Hao, Durant, Varejao, Jeff Green, Nick Collison and others. newcomer.
As for these people, they all joined the team last season. It can be said that this team has achieved a complete change in these two seasons.
It is normal for such a team to have ups and downs.
Everyone is still looking for a sense of cooperation.
It wasn't until they beat the Timberwolves that the Thunder regained their rhythm of victory.
Ye Hao led the team to beat the Timberwolves, a big team, and really vented their unhappiness about losing.
It wasn't until the end of November that the Thunder reversed their winning percentage to 50%. Although the road was a bit bumpy, they were still moving forward.
Of course, because there are too many strong teams in the West, they can only be ranked No. 11 in the West for the time being.
However, Ye Hao's scoring average of 34.3 points per game still leads the league.
Kobe, who is No.2, has a 3-point gap with him.
After playing a wave of away games, they returned home, and the challenge team they ushered in was the Orlando Magic.
The Magic started this season very well and are currently ranked third in the East, ahead of the Celtics and Cavaliers.
These three teams are in the first echelon of the East, followed by the Eagles, Heat, Bulls and other teams.
In the West, except for the defending champion Lakers, who started a solo show far more than other teams, the other teams are still in the same melee as last season.
From No.2 to No.11, the difference in wins between each other is very close.
It is really possible that after waking up, or after a game, the rankings between each other will change.
So from this perspective, the Thunder are still among the playoff teams and have not fallen behind.
Speaking of the game between the Magic and the Thunder, there was a live broadcast in China.
The narrator is Director Zhang and Yang Yi's partners.
Director Zhang said at the beginning: "The Magic played better this season than last season, and Warcraft Howard's performance has become more and more stable, and he will score a large double-double from time to time."
Yang Yi: "For the Thunder, this is a tough battle. If they win, they can squeeze from No.11 to the top eight in the Western Conference.
Of course, if they lose, they will still be ranked No.11, because they have opened up a gap of two wins with the teams behind. "
Before the start of this game, there is another very interesting episode.
Warcraft Howard said in an interview before the game that when he represented the U.S. team in the Olympic games, he had exchanges with Ye Hao on the court. The two chatted happily at the time. He also said that Ye Hao also likes to play happy basketball .
This remark was relayed to Ye Hao by a good reporter, who asked him if he had ever said such a thing. Ye Hao only smiled and said that he only likes to happily kill his opponents on the field. Besides, there is nothing better than this Happy now.
The Magic's starting lineup for this game: point guard Jameer Nelson, shooting guard Michael Pietrus, small forward Hedo Turkoglu, power forward Rashad Lewis, center Dwight Howard.
The Thunder made a slight adjustment, and put George Hill, who has a better defensive ability, into the starting lineup. The other positions remained unchanged. They were still Ye Hao, Durant, Jeff Green and Varejao.
At the beginning of the game, the Magic took the lead. They used the strategy of scoring and shooting to hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside and took the lead in the opening game.
Director Zhang said: "The magic team's tactic is that Howard can withstand the inside, assign him a few shooters on the outside, hit the ball in, give it out, and shoot three-pointers when he has the opportunity.
The tactics are simple, but they work.
Last season, they achieved a very good regular season record with this tactic. "
Yang Yi agreed: "That's right. And they actually have two organizational points. In addition to the starting point guard Nelson, there is also Turkoglu on the front line. Both of them have good passing ability.
Through their tandem, the Magic's offense has been revitalized.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that Turkoglu also won the Most Improved Player Award last season.
He plays a very important role in Van Gundy's tactical system. "
As he was speaking, Turkoglu passed another wonderful pass to Lewis on the right wing, assisting him to score a three-pointer.
Jeff Green was still a step slower when he defended.
Ye Hao is not satisfied with Jeff Green's defensive performance today. Lewis has already made three three-pointers in front of him.
"Damn it, Jeff is watching your people!" Ye Hao shouted towards Green.
Jeff Green raised his hand to signal that it was his fault.
"Let's play more aggressively, follow up, stick to him, don't let him easily get shooting space, today he scored all three-pointers, hell!" Ye Hao said dissatisfied.
Carlesimo, who was standing on the sidelines, was also very good at it, and immediately asked for a substitution, replacing Ibaka with Jeff Green.
Ye Hao said to Ibaka: "You don't have to do anything, just keep an eye on Rashad, follow him wherever he goes, and make it difficult for him. Your mission in this field is completed."
Ibaka lowered his head and listened, then nodded his head seriously, "Understood, boss, don't worry, leave it to me!"
The Thunder are attacking and the basketball is in George Hill's hands.
He dribbled forward, but he was a bit uncomfortable being guarded by the strong Nelson.
Ye Hao ran out to respond and got Hill's pass.
He holds the ball up to Pietrus at the top of the key.
How could Pietrus prevent him, he was left behind by a quick turn.
With a quick drive to the paint, Howard dives from the rim, ready to block the shot.
Howard's defensive ability is very strong, and his body is also extremely strong.
Ye Hao didn't intend to confront him head-on.
In the league, it is estimated that few people can go head-to-head and completely defeat Howard with strength.
The current World of Warcraft is in full swing, and he is known as a man who can change "Emperor Zhan" alone.
As for whether Ye Hao can be replaced alone?That's impossible. Even if Zhan Huang is placed in front of the Thunder, they will not be willing to exchange.
Head-to-head with Howard? Ye Hao won't do such mindless things. Playing basketball is about brains.
He jumped in front of Howard, cleverly passed the basketball around Howard's side, and stuffed it to Varejao behind him. After Varejao took the ball, he directly dunked.
"This pass is really great, it really deserves to be Ye Hao!" Director Zhang said excitedly.
The fans at the scene also burst into warm cheers and cheers.
It's just that Ye Hao on the field feels a little bad.
He just jumped up and collided with Howard. Although he passed the ball, he still felt pain in his body when he was hit by Howard.
Howard's physical strength is obviously much stronger than him. Although his strength has been raised to more than 80, it is still not enough in front of the monster Howard.
If two people collide, it will be a car colliding with a tank in minutes.
Hard work.
Ye Hao was hit by Howard and fell back, falling to the ground.
It was Howard who smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
This made Ye Hao have to say in his heart that this guy is also kind of cute, like a big boy who loves to play.
After he stood up, he reached out and patted Howard's butt, and then retreated to the backcourt.
The Magic attacked, and Nelson handed the ball inside to Howard to single Varejao.
Howard played back singles with the ball, and Varejao stayed behind him.
then……
As soon as Howard turned hard, Varejao fell backwards.
The body movements and facial expressions are well matched.
It is definitely the acting skills of a first-class actor who has been taught by Ye Hao and then used to perfection by Varejao.
Beep!
The referee's whistle sounded just right.
Howard was called for an offensive foul.
At the beginning, he still felt a little annoyed and dazed, raising his hands and making a puzzled expression towards the referee.
But soon he gave the basketball to the Thunder players, and he couldn't help laughing.
Sometimes it's really hard to find a reason why Howard can be so happy on the court.
He just has a knack for making himself happy.
It's really incomprehensible to someone who isn't in the same category as him.
This is probably the real core of his happy basketball.
Just be happy, no matter whether he scores or concedes.
Incomparably powerful self-consistent logic.
The Thunder team attacked, the ball was brought by Ye Hao across the half court, and he continued to force Pietrus.
If there is a bank cash machine in front of you and let you withdraw money, it is impossible not to withdraw it.
Ye Hao was no exception. He easily forced Pietrus away after two consecutive tentative steps, followed by a fadeaway jumper and scored another easy jumper.
It has to be said that his height and wingspan give him a great height advantage against other shooting guards in the league.
What's more, he also has a very good jumping ability.
This simply made him feel like a duck to water.
"Ye Hao is an unsolvable bug on the shooting guard!" Director Zhang's words will be as widely known as his "This is unreasonable!" in the future.
Seeing Ye Hao's continuous scoring, Big Van Gundy was so anxious to jump on the sidelines, and shouted loudly to his disciples on the field: "Damn it, double-team him! Don't defend alone! Don't defend alone!"
Afterwards, when Ye Hao got the ball, the Magic team used two people to double-team.
I just can't stop it,
Sometimes Ye Hao just uses his fast speed to get through the double-teamers before the double-teams arrive.
Sometimes he is even more direct, he just pulls up with a precise jumper and shoots,
If it doesn't work, he will pass the ball, just wait for the double team to come over and attract the defense, then pass the basketball to his teammates, to Durant, to Battier, to Tony Allen, and even to Ibaka, etc. Players have a relatively stable shot.
The longer he plays with these teammates, the more he can clearly remember where their favorite shots are, what are their playing characteristics on the court, etc., and the more he can cooperate tacitly and play good offense and Defensive fit.
Chemical reaction is probably such a production process.
Familiar with each other's characteristics, appearing in their respective comfortable positions, the whole team can be connected in series to form an offensive or defensive net.
Then victory will be like a fish waiting to be caught.
At the end of the first half, the Thunder had tied the point difference and even overtook the Magic by 3 points.
Back in the second half, the Thunder started the game with a wave, and quickly opened the point difference to 9 points.
This forced Van Gundy to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the Magic threw two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, chasing the point difference to only 3 points.
The three-pointer is indeed the best weapon for chasing points.
After that, Ye Hao made three consecutive three-pointers from the same position on the left wing, and used a more aggressive and violent offensive to tell the Magic that they are not the only ones who know how to shoot three-pointers.
It depends on who can vote for whom.
The Magic wanted to give their response, but their outside touch suddenly felt like entering an ice cellar, turning into a blacksmithing team, smashing the basket.
Ibaka did desperately entangle Lewis,
And Nelson was defended by Ye Hao himself, and Durant was responsible for keeping an eye on Turkoglu.
When Durant or Ye Hao rested, the Thunder also had Battier and Tony Allen go up to guard.
This is tantamount to watching the Magic's outside shooters.
The rest of the Magic's strategy is just to rely on Howard to gouge inside.
When Howard has a good ball handler to pass him the ball, let him receive the ball comfortably and shoot comfortably, and his scoring efficiency will be very high.
Like Ye Hao's previous life, Paul fed Jordan the ball in the Los Angeles Clippers,
Like Nash sent an exquisite pass to Stoudemire in the Suns.
But when he is required to continue to go hard inside and attack hard, Howard's efficiency is actually not high.
However, Howard likes to go inside to launch a strong attack.
And his technique is really rough.
As a result, the Magic will be in danger.
