The Rockets played well inside today, especially "Warcraft" Howard, who provided the Rockets with a lot of firepower on the offensive end.
Although he made some mistakes due to anxiety before, it cannot be denied that his performance was indeed very good.
Howard and Asik also played good defense, effectively limiting the performance of Derrick Favors and Duncan.
Looking at Derrick Favors, who was sweating profusely but not performing very well, **Vic felt the pressure on the team's inside line now. The Spurs' inside line power was second to none, but that didn't mean there were no opponents. With Howard,
Asik's Rockets are one of them.
He didn't want to be equalized by the opponent. He planned to go to Houston with a big score of 2:0.
But who can we look for to share the pressure of Derrick Favors? Duncan is very good, but Vicky is reluctant to let him resist Howard's muscular body. As for Boris Diaw, well! This guy can't do it either.
Jordan Hill is quite positive after all, but not thick enough!!
After careful consideration, Vicki had no choice but to send Duncan up to form the twin towers with Derrick Favors.
Affected by age, Duncan's air defense ability has naturally declined, but his defense is still the best on the Spurs. In a league where interior lines are scarce, Duncan can still score All-Star statistics.
And with Duncan's current state, he can naturally fight Jones however he wants. His experience can also help him gain a foothold in the interior. More importantly, with his restraint, Derrick Favors finally got rid of
He escaped the opponent's attack and reversed his disadvantage bit by bit in the confrontation with Howard.
Chen Feng's shot from outside the three-point line was hit. A step in front of him, Parsons looked frustrated. The moment Derek Favors flew the ball out, he had already realized the target of the pass and quickly
Appearing in front of Chen Feng, according to normal experience, in such a short distance, he had enough time to make up for the defense, but Chen Feng's shot was too fast. Before he shot to defend, Chen Feng's three-pointer had already
He took action, leaving him no room to react.
"Whoa!" The three-pointer was hit!
Parsons' ball passed easily over the head of Patty Mills. After Derrick Favors caught the ball, he put the ball into the basket with a small hook.
Derrick Favors' turnaround jumper missed. Chen Feng struggled to put the ball over Howard's head and put it into the basket.
Howard's layup missed. Derrick Favors easily picked off the rebound and passed a long pass to Chen Feng. At this time, he was the only one in the Rockets half. An easy three-step basket was taken down.
Two points.
Chen Feng successfully stole the ball in the midfield, easily changed hands to get rid of Parsons, relied on Howard to hit a shot, and caused the latter's foul, and successfully scored 2+1.
In just two minutes, Chen Feng scored 8 points by himself, helping the Spurs set off an 8:2 victory, successfully widening the point difference to double digits.
McHale quickly requested a timeout and rearranged his tactics.
After the timeout, the Rockets changed into a purely offensive lineup.
Just after the timeout ended, James Harden scored a three-pointer, helping the Rockets narrow the point difference.
The Spurs' counterattack was fruitless, and the Rockets took the opportunity to chase the Spurs and recover 2 points.
Everyone in the Spurs team became nervous again. After the timeout, the Rockets made a strong offensive, which put them under some threat.
Patty Mills quickly dribbled the ball through the half. His performance in this game was pretty good, and he made several clever passes, which was quite good.
Parsons tried his best to defend Chen Feng. From the beginning of the game, he followed Chen Feng closely. No matter where he ran, Parsons did not dare to slack off at all.
Although Parsons was not as fast as Chen Feng, with the help of his teammates, Chen Feng never had a chance.
From the bottom line to the top of the arc, Chen Feng went back and forth again.
After several attempts to break through failed, Patty Mills had no choice but to hand the ball over to Derrick Favors.
Chen Feng has been running without the ball at this time. With his outstanding performance, he is restraining the Rockets defensive players. Although the ball is never in his hands, it has attracted the attention of at least two defensive players. In this way,
Coming naturally gives other players more opportunities.
Howard tightly blocked Derrick Favors' position. The turnaround jumper that Derrick Favors is best at requires position, at least there must be room to turn around.
But Howard didn't give him a chance. After several physical competitions with no results, Derrick Favors passed the ball quickly. His pass was very sudden, and he was still there and Howard was stuck there.
The ball has already flown out from the inside.
At this time, Chen Feng was at the bottom line, and there was no room for buffering in the midfield. Parsons' reckless defense gave him a headache, and James Harden over there quickly came over. Once they let their attack form, he would
There is really trouble.
Chen Feng did not catch the ball, but slapped the flying basketball toward the bottom corner.
There, Patty Mills is waiting eagerly.
"Great." Patty Mills said to herself excitedly.
After receiving Chen Feng's pass, Patty Mills quickly jumped up and threw the ball.
His shooting posture is very standard and the ball is scored very cleanly.
"Wow", this three-pointer hit the Rockets' counterattack like a blow. Mills is not as good as Parker in organizing offense, but as a bench gangster, Mills is still very qualified.
In the first three quarters of the game, Chen Feng was undoubtedly the most eye-catching player in the game.
Chen Feng's near-perfect performance helped the San Antonio Spurs firmly control the lead. No matter how the Rockets counterattacked, it was useless.
However, with Derrick Favors' poor touch, the Spurs want to seal the victory in the last quarter. Chen Feng must become more selfish in the last quarter, maintain his outstanding touch, and increase the number of shots.
That kind of Chen Feng has undoubtedly become a nightmare for Houstonians again.
But obviously the Spurs haven't fallen to that point yet. Derrick Favors, who had a mediocre performance in the first three quarters, broke out in the paint at the beginning of the last quarter. His nimble steps suddenly got rid of the defensive Athy.
Ke, turned around and dunked outside the three-second zone, and caused Jones' blocking foul, resulting in a 2+1.
After three quarters of accumulated anger, Derrick Favors completely exploded in the last quarter, and the first two minutes of the last quarter became his personal show.
The inside attack was successful one after another, and the Rockets' inside defense was completely suppressed. Asik and Jones each sent a block on their heads, single-handedly helping the team to a 7:0 victory.
.
Under the influence of Derrick Favors, the Spurs quickly expanded their lead to more than double digits.
The Rockets' defense just now was obviously biased towards the outside, and Derrick Favors' explosion caught them off guard.
At McHale's signal from the sidelines, Asik's position moved closer to the basket. However, changes made with the opponent's tactical changes are never the most appropriate choice. The Spurs' outside line remained stable.
Performance, Chen Feng's three-pointer increased his scoring data to 26 points.
Facing the Spurs, who were firing on all cylinders, McHale had to call a timeout and make adjustments to the lineup.
Parsons was re-entered the court, and his restriction on Chen Feng had some effect. Although Chen Feng was beaten badly in this game, the only person the entire Rockets team could restrict was Parsons!
Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to the Rockets' adjustments.
Parsons' defense is actually good. This guy doesn't like to jump up when defending! So he is the best at restricting Chen Feng! But this is not the biggest problem for the Spurs at the moment. Derek Fee
Voss' inside line, under the double-teaming of the opponent, had just improved, but seemed to be sluggish again.
Chandler Parsons was shocked. Chen Feng unexpectedly chose to break through in a straight line. The moment the two bodies collided, a 90-degree sideways movement handed over the entire left side to his right hand that controlled the ball.
No confusion at all.
At the moment of starting, Ginobili had already received Chen Feng's signal and immediately stepped forward to pick and roll.
"Hmph, with a muffled grunt, Chen Feng's left elbow gently pressed against Chandler Parsons' ribs. With the help of this weak force, he quickly circled behind Ginobili. At this time, in front of him
There was no one there, and when I looked ahead, I saw Derrick Favors and Howard, who had just come on, locked in position under the basket.
Chen Feng, who started at full speed, rushed into the Rockets' interior like a bolt of lightning. Facing the grinning Dwight Howard, he dived into the penalty area without any hesitation.
Derrick Favors also cooperated very well. Seeing Chen Feng so close at hand, all the strength in his body exploded instantly. Even as strong as Dwight Howard, he couldn't help but take a step back. This step back was very wonderful. Just now he had
The right foot standing outside the three-second zone has already stepped half into the three-second zone.
He took off lightly outside the three-second zone. At this time, Dwight Howard, who had lost his center of gravity, could not pose a threat to him at all. However, this was not Chen Feng's intention. He twisted his body slightly in the air, and the whole movement seemed relaxed and freehand, holding the ball.
His right hand gently touched Dwight Howard's left wrist, and then he tossed it.
The two sounds of "shua" and "dip" sounded almost at the same time, and McHale's face suddenly turned pale.
When Chen Feng forced himself inside, he vaguely knew Chen Feng's intention. Putting Dwight Howard on the court was indeed his last resort.
Derek Favors exploded completely at the beginning of the last quarter. If it cannot be suppressed in time, the initiative of the game will completely fall into the hands of the opponent. (To be continued...)
