Nick Young was a little nervous at this time. No one can always hit the target. As long as he can hit the ball, he can't let people live.
But since he is in the NBA, he is not the one who shrinks when he encounters some setbacks. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Wen Hao, just like Kobe Bryant's defense, hoping that strong defense can improve Wen Hao's shooting percentage.
Come down a little.
This time, when Wen Hao got the ball, Nick Young spread his legs, opened his arms, and stared closely at Wen Hao's eyes. Under his highly focused defense, Wen Hao succeeded in shooting or breaking through.
There will be some discount on the rate.
But Wen Hao's mind was not messed up at all. When he saw Nick Young defending like this, he immediately raised his hand and made a dry move.
Nick Young was already a little nervous. In his opinion, as long as Wen Hao shoots, he will definitely hit, so he will definitely not let Wen Hao shoot. He jumped high and hit Wen Hao's head. But at this moment,
Wen Hao raised it
The ball was suddenly put down, and he dribbled past Nick Young who was still in the air with one step, and headed towards the basket. When the Lakers came to block the shot from the inside, he threw it casually, and Dayao, who was already free next to him, caught the ball in the air.
Straight into the basket.
"Teacher Yang, it seems your worries are unnecessary." Ke Fan said to Yang Yi after shouting "good shot".
Yang Yi's eyes were filled with wonder: "Many players will get hot-headed after hitting the ball in the same way several times in a row, and they will use that method continuously as if they are over the top, which makes it easier for the opponent to defend.
But after Wen Hao hit eight consecutive goals just now, he did not get lost. Instead, after Nick Young strengthened his defensive intensity, he chose to fake a move to fly away Nick Young, and then got inside to assist Dayao. This made his
The more diverse the offensive methods are, the harder it will be for opponents to defend against."
"It seems that Wen Hao has indeed matured a lot after that setback." Beauty Zhou Ling'an said with a smile.
Nick Yang was almost crying at this time. He originally thought he could easily defend against Wen Hao, but he was beaten repeatedly by Wen Hao. In his feeling, this Chinese seemed to be unstoppable.
When Nick Young felt frustrated, the Lakers finally replaced the three main players of Kobe, Nash and Gasol.
At this time, due to Wen Hao's outstanding performance just now, the Rockets led 98 to 94 by 4 points. There were still 6 minutes left in the game.
When McHale saw that the Lakers had all the main players, out of caution, he replaced all the Rockets' main players. He replaced Wen Hao, who had performed well just now, and replaced him with shooting guard Harden.
When Kobe saw Wen Hao of the Rockets come off the field, he glanced coldly, but his cold eyes clearly revealed some disappointment. But he then turned his attention to Harden. Since Wen Hao was off the field, his opponent was Harden.
Logged in.
The first ball, the Lakers attack.
During the positional battle, D'Antoni had no other good idea, but to let others spread out and let Kobe fight one by one.
Although this is not the best way, Kobe's ability is indeed strong. Facing Harden, he first dropped down low, leaned on Harden and pushed two steps in, then turned his back and took a fadeaway jumper, which he hit steadily.
A two-pointer. Kobe scored and the fans cheered.
Looking back, on the Rockets side, although McHale did not arrange it, Harden allowed others to pull away. He also beat Kobe one-on-one. He was younger than Kobe and had faster steps. But no matter how he changed direction
, but could not break through Kobe's blockade. Moreover, Kobe had a good grasp of his characteristics, that is, he would not let him, a left-handed general, take his left hand and leave his right hand to him.
Harden had no choice but to change direction, step back, slightly open the distance from Kobe, and then hit the mid-range shot.
"Oh, two of the best shooting guards in the league are starting to duel." ESPN commentator Harlan exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, one of the highlights of this game is the one-on-one duel between Kobe and Harden. In the first three quarters, the two barely faced each other. Now in the critical fourth quarter, the two finally started to face off. Fans
What a blessing." Another commentator, Reggie Miller, said.
"The matchup between these two is actually nothing to watch. Although it is undeniable that Harden is the best among the younger generation of shooting guards, but compared with Kobe, he is still far behind," the big-mouthed Klee continued.
Big mouth style, "If nothing else, just from the temperament point of view, Harden lacks Kobe's kingly aura, and who else is more domineering at critical moments. So there is basically no suspense about the matchup between the two of them."
Miller and Harlan next to them shook their heads helplessly. This big mouth is too big. They can say anything and dare to say anything.
But this time Barkley was really right. Kobe faced Harden three times in a row and made all three shots.
As for Harden's offense, except for the first hit, the other two were hit. In desperation, he had to hand the ball to Howard inside. Howard's shooting rate was quite good in this period, hitting three goals in a row.
As soon as these three goals were scored, the Rockets were already 7 points ahead of the Lakers, and there were only the last 3 minutes left.
D'Antoni had no choice but to implement the tactic of cutting Huo.
So the minute in between from 3 minutes to 2 minutes became extremely long.
As soon as Jeremy Lin received the serve, Howard was fouled over there. He stood on the free throw line, and miraculously made two free throws amidst the boos from Staples, and the score was extended to 9 points.
Everyone on the Rockets bench stood up and applauded Howard, even McHale. It's not easy for this kid to make two free throws.
After Howard made the free throw, he looked at Kobe Bryant thoughtfully.
Kobe looked back at Howard coldly, received the serve, dribbled the ball across the front court, and with Gasol's outside pick-and-roll, he hit a three-pointer with his hand.
Howard was not affected by this, and quickly went to the outside to serve, hoping to let the Rockets play a fast break. But as soon as he sent the ball, he saw Blake coming to foul. In desperation, he did not enter the court, but
Turn around and run towards the bottom line player tunnel.
Blake rushed over and hugged Howard. The referee blew the whistle immediately in cooperation.
McHale protested on the sidelines: "The players haven't entered the court yet, how can it be considered a foul? This is not a foul."
D'Antoni shouted to McHale: "It's an absolute foul. Even if he didn't play, it's still a foul."
The head coach of the team that committed the foul rushed to say that it was a foul, but the person who was fouled said that there was no foul. Such a strange scene really opened the eyes of the fans. This is nothing.
Howard stood on the free throw line again and made one of two free throws. The Rockets once again led by 7 points.
But just after he hit the free throw, before he could return it, Kobe caught the ball and ran all the way to the front court. He pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line.
Harden chased after him in an attempt to block the shot.
But Kobe did not take action immediately in the air. Instead, he stayed in the air for a second. After Harden flew over his head, he exerted his force a second time and shook his wrist to take action.
