Anyway, Doug rivers doesn't believe it at all after watching the main lineup of the Rockets.

However, rivers also knows that it is not realistic for the Clippers to kill the Rockets in the playoffs and achieve the black eight miracle.

The key point is: how to defend Wang Fei.

This is a problem.

If Wang Fei can't be prevented and allowed to shoot and score, the clippers have no hope.

Rivers thought about it. He felt that to prevent Wang Fei, he must send someone to bite Wang Fei and squeeze his attack space all the time.

Rivers thought that as long as he could win one or two games, it would be a great victory for the Clippers.

That afternoon, rivers also held a pre war mobilization meeting again.

He said: "Gentlemen! Tonight, the game is about to start. The Rockets have released their main lineup, which is led by Wang Fei. PJ Tucker, Gary Clark and Zhou Qi constitute their inner line. Wang Fei is the partner of the newcomer to the Rockets, Terrence Ferguson, to form the Rockets' guard line. If this lineup is true, I think the most important thing for us to solve the problem The key point is only Wang, and everyone else can let go! If we can prevent Wang Fei, we can win! If we can't prevent it, we can't take a victory from the Toyota Center! "

"Many teams in the league have tried a lot to prevent Wang Fei. No one can achieve much success. My defensive tactical arrangement is to send a special person to entangle Wang Fei! This person doesn't have to worry about anything else. As long as he can keep up with Wang Fei's speed and make him unable to pass and shoot easily, this is our biggest victory."

"My favorite candidate for defending Wang Fei is Mr. Garnett temple. You may not be able to keep up with Wang in terms of speed. My requirement is that you don't need to defend him from the back court. Let's quickly return to the defense, let him take the ball to the front court, and use a complete defense and cooperative defense formation to compress his outer line movement ability in the front court. Mr. temple only needs to follow him around the three-point arc It's OK. As long as Wang is close to his defense area, others don't hesitate to let go of other rocket players and decisively go up to take Wang Fei with temple. Mr. temple should have the awareness of timely foul. He'd rather foul than let him shoot easily. If he passes the ball, he can relax. "

"You see, is it OK for me to arrange this?"

Doug rivers finished his arrangement and asked the players.

Garnett temple, who was named, immediately said, "Mr. rivers, I fully obey your arrangement. However, I want to give you a suggestion."

"You say," Doug Rivers said with a smile.

"You just said that I would foul Wang in time when he takes a shot. What I want to say is that Wang's speed is too fast. It's really difficult to grasp the degree of timely foul. Therefore, it might be better to foul in advance when our backcourt is close to defense. Threatening fouls often make him more afraid," Garnett temple said.

Doug rivers nodded and said, "the situation on the court is changeable. It's really hard to grasp. Just arrange it yourself."

Garnett temple was also out of the draft.

In the beginning, I couldn't play in the NBA at all.

But after overseas League experience, his skills have risen sharply. More importantly, he can provide tough defense and carry out the defense arrangement of the head coach to the end.

It is his defensive ability that allows him to get a foothold in the NBA.

Defense is a hard, tired and thankless job.

A good defensive player is usually not obsessed with playing, but can threaten and oppress the defensive object at the critical moment.

That afternoon, a playoff forward-looking program of ESPN was also Commenting on some situations of the eastern and Western playoff teams.

Paul Pierce, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, former stars of green Kay, attended the review program as guests.

The famous ESPN sports host Max Keller hosted the program.

"Gentlemen, what do you think of the championship favorite Rockets this year? Can they easily handle the Clippers?" Max Keller asked.

Paul Pierce shook his head and said: "I'm not optimistic about the Rockets! Wang performed very well in the regular season, but after entering the playoffs, he will encounter nightmare defense, and his space for attack and passing will be greatly compressed. Doug rivers is a very experienced coach, and he has rich experience in defense. I think Wang will be completely prevented in the series with the Clippers! If Wang Fei is killed, it will be more difficult for the rest of the Rockets to help the team win! "

O'Neill smiled and said: "Rivers is really a good coach. He can lead no super giant clippers into the playoffs. Although the Clippers are not super giant, their players are very average and they can always play dazzling team basketball. I also think the Rockets are not very good at winning. Maybe the playoffs will really become king's Waterloo. Let's wait and see what happens 。”

Kobe Bryant also said: "Wang's most powerful weapon is his speed and shooting. God! There has never been a player with a shooting percentage of more than 90% in the history of the NBA! And Wang's performance in shooting attack is really amazing. He has 100% shooting percentage in many games! His range is very far! He has no weakness in attack, as long as In the half court attack stage, he can shoot and score from any position on the court. His speed and shooting frequency are also very fast. Even if the opponent is a big man much taller than him, don't try to use his height to prevent his shooting! Because he jumps too high! In the face of such a player who may be the most offensive player in NBA history, defense is really a very difficult thing Love! I don't think it's easy for the Clippers to prevent Wang Fei! Therefore, there's no hope for the Clippers to win the series with the Rockets! But I'm optimistic that the clippers can win one or two games from the Rockets! "

After listening to Kobe's analysis, Paul Pierce smiled: "Bryant, you may overestimate Wang! His speed is really fast and he jumps high enough, but the court is really small. Especially in the half court, it is only 15 meters by 14 meters. If the clippers can form a cooperative defense formation as soon as possible, the whole court will be full of people. This will oppress Wang's activity space. His speed advantage is very small in a narrow space There will be great restrictions! Also, don't underestimate the lethality of defensive fouls. When Wang jumps up and shoots in front of the other party's tall man, he is very vulnerable. The other party is likely to make a small defensive move and hit him hard! You can't ignore this. "

O'Neill shook his head and said: "I can only say that the intensity of the current NBA confrontation is too poor. At that time, the intensity of the confrontation was more than twice that of today. Especially in the interior, you can only knock your opponent open to have room to attack the basket. But now? You only need to be able to throw three points. What's the meaning of just throwing three points? The game is too boring. A small man like Wang can play well in the NBA , this is a miracle, but I really don't want to see this happen! Wang has been popular in the NBA for so long, and all teams are studying him. I think the defense against Wang will certainly be promoted to a cruel level in this playoff! Wang has no weight and height, and he will suffer a lot in the cruel defense, which is beyond doubt! "

Max Keller smiled: "it seems that pierce and O'Neill are not optimistic about Wang's performance in the playoffs. They think Wang will be prevented, but only Bryant thinks that it is unrealistic to prevent Wang. Then, give your own big score prediction of the rockets and Clippers in the playoffs, okay?"

Paul Pierce thought for a moment and said, "I think the Clippers will end the battle in six games at most! They will create the black eight miracle!"

O'Neill said: "everything depends on whether Wang will be injured in the game. If Wang is injured, the Clippers will win this series. If Wang is not injured, I think the Clippers may be eliminated 2-4."

Kobe Bryant said: "Don't underestimate the heart of a champion! Wang has received a lot of special attention from defense in the regular season. He has used too many tactics for his defense, but Wang still led the Rockets to win the first place in the league this season! This shows how strong Wang is! So I think the Rockets will easily win the first round of this year's series with a score of 4-0."

In fact, the debate about how far Wang Fei can lead the Rockets in the playoffs has become a world-class topic.

Basketball fans all over the world are talking about it.

Research on the results of the series of rockets and clippers is also carried out on many websites.

For example, ESPN conducted an online survey on their website.

There are several options:

In your opinion, who can laugh last in the first round series of rockets and Clippers?

1. The Clippers easily created the black eight miracle.

2. The Clippers took seven and killed the Rockets without harden.

3. The Rockets have no doubt sealed off the Clippers.

4. The Rockets won a tough victory.

The fans participated enthusiastically.

As of 6:30 p.m. before the game, the Rockets' zero seal clippers ranked first with 90% of the choices.

It can be seen that the fans are still very optimistic about the Rockets.

At 6:30 that night.

Wang Fei took the Rockets bus to the Toyota Center.

As soon as the bus arrived at the square, a large number of fans gathered around.

They shouted Wang Fei's name and MVP.

Wang Fei took a look through the window and found that tens of thousands of fans had gathered in the square at this time.

Because it's the playoffs, tickets are still very tight. Many fans who can't buy tickets can only watch the game on the big screen outside.

Wang Fei is also very excited at the moment.

It's really not easy to get to the playoffs step by step.

When I first came to the United States, few people knew me.

But now, he has become the hottest star in the NBA. The popularity can catch up with Jordan!

It feels good!
