A fan who was shouting loudly just a moment ago opened his mouth slightly but could not make any sound.

T-MAC's three-pointer directly silenced the Energy Arena!

16:4, the score difference widened again.

In the next few minutes, the two teams returned to parity, and the point difference remained at around 10 points.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the score reached 30:20.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, the coaches of both sides unanimously deployed their troops.

On the Thunder side, except for Ibaka and Sefolosha, all three players took a break, and Harden came on with two substitutes.

Their lineup is: Harden, Cook, Sefolosha, Ibaka, Collison.

The Rockets boldly performed five ups and five downs, and the lineup became: Jeremy Lin, Roy, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian, and Ben Wallace.

Shen Fei in the box saw the formations of both sides and said: "The Thunder's wing reserves are really poor. Apart from Durant, they can't even find a serious forward who is two meters tall."

Sun Yue was a little puzzled after hearing this: "Durant can basically play more than 40 minutes in a game, plus Sefolosha can also play for a while, it should be enough, right?"

Shen Fei smiled slightly.

During this period of 11 years, people obviously lacked understanding of the importance of wing players.

Even if there are top small forwards like James and Durant, everyone still prefers that the one who can win inside will win the world. They think that having a big center who can support the sky is the most important thing.

But as a time traveler, Shen Fei knows very well that the pace of basketball in the future will be faster and the requirements for mobility and overall height will be very high.

A team with a luxurious striker group is very popular!

However, Shen Fei didn't want to explain too much to Sun Yue now.

Looking at the inside line composed of Yi Jianlian and Ben Wallace, Shen Fei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "There will be a good show later."

Sun Yue opened his eyes curiously.

"You'll know right away."

Shen Fei said lightly.

............

The game restarts and the Thunder attack.

Harden carried the ball through half the court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

The Rockets sent Danny Green to defend.

Green's lateral speed is not top-notch, but his defensive awareness is excellent.

Harden tried several fake moves but failed to deceive him.

In desperation, Brother Deng had no choice but to raise his hand and signal the inside line to step forward to cover.

Ibaka rushed over and set up a pick-and-roll for Harden.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Harden successfully got rid of Danny Green and then accelerated towards the penalty area.

Facing Yi Jianlian who was on defense, Harden took three steps directly.

Obviously, he didn't think this power forward from China could pose any threat to him.

But when Harden was really ready to take action, he suddenly discovered that Yi Jianlian not only kept up with his pace, but also jumped to a high point with extremely fast bounces!

The current situation is...if Harden does not change his tactics, he will not be able to escape the hot pot meal!

In the flash of lightning, Harden turned slightly sideways in the air, leaned against Yi Jianlian with his body, and then threw the ball toward the basket with his right hand...

In this way, the risk was indeed avoided, but the basketball shot was somewhat unremarkable.

The ball hit the backboard and flew directly across the bridge to the other side without even touching the basket.

Ben on the other side leaped high and steadily grabbed the rebound.

The Rockets launched a counterattack!

During the fast break, Jeremy Lin made a decisive move and headed towards the heart of Thunder.

He is extremely fast and can make changes of direction, dribble behind his back and other actions at any time while running.

Along the way, Thunder players tried to intercept three times, but without exception, Shuhao successfully resolved them all.

"Wow, the scholar's excellence is achieved one after another..."

Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't talk about anything else, just talking about impact and dribbling ability, Shuhao is definitely the top level among NBA guards."

Yang Yi couldn't help but praise.

In the end, Shu Hao succeeded in riding alone and used a one-handed chop to rewrite the score to 32:20.

After changing sides, Harden once again played a pick-and-roll with Ibaka.

This time, Deng did not force the ball, but used an extremely concealed ground pass to pass the ball to Ibaka.

Ibaka kicked off his feet and soared into the sky, heading straight for the basket.

At the critical moment, two figures suddenly jumped up and started intercepting in the air one after the other!

One of the two figures is Da Ben and the other is Yi Jianlian.

The two of them each stretched out one hand and pressed it firmly on the basketball, directly knocking Ibaka down while dribbling the ball.

After Ibaka fell to the ground, he hugged the basketball tightly. Yi Jianlian quickly jumped on him, and the two immediately became entangled.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, let's fight for the ball!

"fxxk..."

Ibaka vomited sweet fragrance, and when he stood up, he pushed Yi Jianlian.

In the past, the honest Arab Lian might have resisted and suffered the loss of being dumb.

But today when he was being pushed, a thought suddenly came to his mind - give him an offensive foul!

While Yi Jianlian was still wondering why he had such an idea, his body fell down uncontrollably.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded again, and the referee directly called Ibaka a technical foul!

Ibaka looked confused.

He just got a little emotional after being blocked and didn't mean to hurt anyone else.

He knew in his heart the force of the push just now. It was impossible to push a 2-meter-1 tall man to the ground.

"He's acting, referee!"

Ibaka rushed to the referee to explain, but the referee didn't want to pay attention to him.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian was pulled up by Shuhao and Roy with one hand each.

"You made the foul, you punish it."

Roy said calmly.

In this lineup, he is the core of the Rockets.

Yi Jianlian did not refuse, after all, his shooting ability is indeed very suitable for free throws.

However, when he stepped to the free throw line, he was naturally greeted with deafening boos.

The fans were not satisfied after booing Yi Jianlian, and pointed their finger at the referee:

“referee.sucks!”

“referee.sucks!”

“referee.sucks!”

...

Yi Jianlian took a deep breath, dribbled the ball three times slowly, and then calmly took the shot...

"Shua~"

Basketball goes hollow into the net.

33:20.

After the ball is scored, it still belongs to the Rockets.

Green served from the sideline and passed the ball to Roy.

When Huang Mamba saw that Harden was guarding him, he immediately signaled his teammates to pull away. He wanted to play solo!

This is also something Mark Jackson mentioned in the pre-game strategy meeting.

During the game, whenever there is an opportunity to consume Harden on the offensive end, he must resolutely play!
