Chapter 170 The last moment! Lawson is out of control!
Most experienced fans can easily tell the players' mentality at critical moments from their body language.
Such as Roy.
He has experienced too many "life and death moments" and contributed many stunning shots.
Moments like this are just a piece of cake for Roy, who is used to seeing big scenes.
His expression was calm, his posture was relaxed, and his eyes were very firm.
Although rookies like Griffin and George are already very good, their nervousness and excitement can still be seen.
The Rockets have been very strong this season, often being overwhelmed and clocking out in the third quarter.
Therefore, these young people rarely face such moments.
Lawson was obviously in an extremely excited state.
In this game, he received a lot of playing time and tactical support. He led the team in shots and has scored 25 points so far.
As a young player, Lawson now feels like he is going to become the core of the league's top team.
[Kyle (Lowry) has played so many games, but he has never scored higher than me in any game, right?]
[It is gold and it will shine after all. It seems that I am the answer to the Rockets point guard!]
Lawson thought to himself.
With this belief, he stepped onto the court and was determined to win the final victory for the team.
Rocket serve.
Lawson advanced with the ball.
While dribbling the ball to observe the situation on the court, he loudly instructed his teammates on their movements.
During the process, both Roy and Yao Ming took the initiative to ask for the ball, but failed because of Lawson's hesitation.
Of course, the reason for his hesitation was more that he was wondering whether to do it himself.
Finally, Lawson made a decision - I will do it!
With this thought, he waved to Yao Ming for a pick-and-roll.
Dayao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately got up and tried his best to block Conley behind Lawson.
"Yao Ming has such a good character!"
"Lawson is a rookie who joined the Rockets halfway. It's okay not to pass the ball to his big brother at such a critical moment. He also asked Yao to come out to pick and roll for him..."
"You really have a big heart!"
Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
"No! But this may also be related to cultural differences."
"Maybe there is no such thing as a beautiful country..."
Yang Yi guessed.
"How could it be?! I have stayed there for a long time and have interviewed many NBA players."
"Many of the stars we are familiar with were bullied by the senior players on the team when they first entered the league."
"The order of elders and children there may be stricter than ours."
Zhang Weiping said seriously.
"It can only be said that Lawson is completely happy today and is already a little moody."
Yang Yi said helplessly.
And Lawson is pretty good.
After breaking through the first line of defense with the help of a screen, he dribbled all the way to the baseline, then stopped suddenly and shot backward.
After the ball bounced on the basket a few times, it rolled smoothly into the net.
At 97:95, the Rockets took the lead.
"Just fight!"
Lawson ran to Dayao excitedly, smiled and high-fived him.
Yao Ming smiled slightly.
In the transition between offense and defense, Conley handed the ball to Randolph inside.
The next moment, George rushed to the low position and formed an encirclement with Griffin.
But Randolph was experienced and collected the ball immediately and blocked the two players with his generous body.
After spotting Gay in the open position with his peripheral vision, he passed the ball with a big wave of his hand.
Because he was double-teamed, Randolph's pass went off track.
Guy jumped up high and barely caught the basketball.
At this time, the Rockets' rotation was in place, and Lawson defended in front of Gay.
"Little dwarf, do you even want to guard against me?"
Guy said disdainfully.
"You talk a lot. Didn't you see who is carrying today?"
Lawson's tone was equally confident.
Guy stopped talking nonsense, assumed a triple threat posture, and then stepped out with his right foot to break through.
Lawson reacted immediately and moved in small steps.
However, this is just a simple trial step.
When Guy saw his opponent being shaken away, he immediately took his feet back, bent his knees, and took action
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
97:98, the Grizzlies took the lead!
"wow~~"
Seeing the hope of victory, the Grizzlies fans at the scene stood up and cheered for Gay.
It is worth mentioning that after scoring the goal, Gay first glanced at Lawson provocatively, and then on the way back to defense, he put his right hand close to the floor and muttered: "heistoosmall (he is too short)!"
This made Lawson very angry.
He immediately came to the baseline and asked his teammates for the ball.
Griffin's eyes were a little complicated.
Although the team is now at the top of the league, the young people naturally want to win every possible victory.
In Griffin's view, the surest way to win this game is to hand the ball over to Yao Ming or Roy.
Although Lawson performed well in this game, his shooting percentage was not high, and many of his points were scored in fast breaks or transition offenses.
At this point in the game, both sides will become cautious, and it will be difficult for such simple offensive opportunities to arise again.
As a teammate who often plays against him in training, Griffin does not think Lawson can lead the team to defeat the Grizzlies on his own.
After hesitating for a moment, he ignored Lawson's request and passed the ball to Roy not far away.
This time, Lawson became even more angry.
He had just scored a goal face-to-face by the opponent, and now he was met with distrust from his teammates...
This made Lawson's mentality a little broken.
He spread his hands and asked Griffin: "Why don't you pass the ball to me?"
The answer to Lifen was simple and direct: "For the team's victory."
After saying that, he ignored the angry Lawson, jogged all the way, and devoted himself to the attack.
Grizzlies halftime.
Roy lowered his center of gravity and signaled his teammates to pull away.
When he started attacking, the frustrated Lawson had just passed half-court.
But this did not affect Roy's rhythm.
I saw him make an in&out feint with his left hand, and then accelerated to break through Mayo's defense.
After breaking into the penalty area, Roy jumped high, faced Gasso's defense in the air, and switched hands for a layup!
99:98, the Rockets overtook the score again!
"Beautiful! Roy, play with him!"
Zhang Weiping commented excitedly.
In his heart, apart from Kobe's Lakers, the Rockets are the absolute home team!
At this critical moment, Director Zhang inevitably gave "skewed" explanations.
Offense and defense transition.
This time, Conley chose to attack on his own.
He dribbled the ball continuously from behind the three-point line, and then made a crossover to shake Lawson away.
After the latter's mentality changed, he became more and more impatient. At this time, he was slightly shaken and lost his center of gravity...
In desperation, Lawson kicked off his feet and rushed towards Conley without hesitation.
next moment...
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded and Lawson committed a defensive foul.
When Conley was shooting, he violated the latter's cylinder, causing the latter to lose his center of gravity and fall directly to the ground.
Moreover, for this foul, Conley will have to make three free throws!
