His physical fitness is really outstanding. At the moment when his body was about to jump, he stopped his rising body abruptly. His body's center of gravity sank slightly, and he quickly passed by Jones with a waist. With a flick of his wrist, the ball hit the board.
Put into basket.
"Wow..." The whole place was in an uproar!
Yu Jia from the Chaotingtai live broadcast room excitedly explained this seemingly ordinary layup, but from it we could see Chen Feng's outstanding performance.
In the emergency stop jumper, he can stop the body that is about to take off. The physical requirements are undoubtedly very high. Moreover, under the attack of Jones and Beverley, he did not feel nervous at all and completed the entire attack with a layup.
, you can see his calmness when handling key balls.
The Rockets' luck seemed to have run out when Beverley's shot missed, and several consecutive attacks ended in failure.
However, although the Spurs players could never find a good touch, they still managed a 9-2 run.
McHale had no choice but to call a timeout.
Just after Chen Feng left the game, our side, led by James Harden, finally launched a beautiful counterattack and narrowed the point difference to 2 points.
But after this Chinese guy came up, the situation was actually controlled by the Spurs again, and McHale really had the urge to go crazy.
After the timeout, the Rockets, under the joint efforts of James Harden and Howard, launched a 13-2 attack wave, not only allowing their side to tie the score, but also overtaken it by 2 points, winning for the first time.
Score lead.
The Spurs' high fighting spirit suffered another setback. **Vicci's expression didn't seem to have changed much. But he felt a little regretful. The score that had just been expanded was not only overtaken by his opponent, but also overtaken.
score.
However, it is not without gain. The Rockets' offense is no longer as sharp as in the first half, and their physical problems have gradually been exposed. However, the advantage at this time is enough for them to rest on their laurels.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had a 7-point lead.
**Vicci waved his hands helplessly. In this third quarter, the Spurs' performance was absolutely useless. Without Chen Feng's outstanding performance, the game would have been unstoppable.
Chen Feng slumped down on his seat weakly and wrapped his whole head in a wet towel.
**Vicci glanced at him. Chen Feng worked really hard in this game. He kept attacking and defending in the two quarters, especially when other Spurs outside players could not find their target. Rockets
Deliberately strengthening the defense against Chen Feng, especially in the last few minutes of the third quarter, Chen Feng was surrounded by Rockets players even without the ball. Once the ball got into his hands, there were at least two Rockets players around him.
Player activity meant that he did almost nothing on the court in the last few minutes.
Coupled with Chen Feng's fatigue in the last game, **Vicci became even more worried about Chen Feng's physical condition.
Derrick Favors also looked indescribably frustrated. The outside players' cold hands put him under great pressure on the inside, especially Jones' close defense, which made him unspeakably miserable.
The Spurs bench was depressed, and Director Zhang said helplessly: "The Spurs players were collectively out of shape in the third quarter, and they only relied on Chen Feng and Derrick Favors to support the situation. In the Rockets'
After the perimeter players started firing collectively, the game seemed to be leaning towards the Rockets. Unfortunately, Chen Feng performed very well today, but unfortunately his teammates were not in good condition. I am afraid they will suffer their first defeat in the playoffs at Toyota Center."
"Yes, the Rockets fought too hard today. No wonder, they have lost two games in a row. If they lose this game at home again, their morale will fall to an unimaginable level. So.
, they must sprint with all their strength to win this game, otherwise, they are likely to be swept out by the Spurs." Yu Jiaye explained.
"Well, especially James Harden, who was in poor form in the first two games, has fully exploded in this game. So far, he has made eight out of 14 shots, including three three-pointers. He has already scored 21 points. In addition, there are
A comprehensive performance of 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. This is the value of a core player." Director Zhang continued.
…………
The game finally started in the fourth quarter. Even with the lead, the Rockets' offense was still so sharp. McHale's intention was obvious. In order to save energy, he decided to expand his advantage in the first half of the fourth quarter and lock the game in advance. After all,
The Rockets are far inferior to the Spurs, so whether it is offense or defense, their physical strength is much greater than that of the Spurs, so physical problems have been seriously bothering them.
Regarding the performance of his players, **Vicci really couldn't bear it.
After the Rockets hit two consecutive three-pointers, Vicki angrily called a timeout.
After scolding these guys, **Vicci impulsively substituted all the players who were out of shape.
The current lineup of the Spurs is: center Derrick Favors, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Wesley Johnson, shooting guard Ginobili, and point guard Chen Feng.
**Vicci finally trusted his disciples, and it was still a normal rotation at this time! He also let Parker, whose knees were in a sub-healthy state, rest, and let Chen Feng take the cameo position as point guard.
Of course, Vicki is not doing nothing! For example, Duncan and Ginobili, who did not exert much force in the first two games, will now exert their strength.
With 9 minutes and 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets had a 14-point advantage, and the Spurs were really in crisis.
"Whoa", Beverley's mistake allowed Chen Feng to steal in the midfield and assist Ginobili to hit a three-pointer from the right wing.
…………
With 8 minutes and 18 seconds left in the game, Chen Feng received a wonderful pass from Derek Favors at the baseline, jumped up, and shot the ball. The ball drew a wonderful arc and entered the net. The Spurs were only 10 points behind the Rockets.
Divided.
Beverley's long shot missed, Derrick Favors jumped up and fiercely picked off the rebound. At this time, Chen Feng had already passed the midfield, and a long pass was handed to him.
Chen Feng scored two points with a layup.
The Spurs' lineup is a very good lineup. Except for Wesley Johnson's offensive offense, everything else is very good, especially Wesley Johnson's defense, which has improved a lot this year.
Fortunately, he has a lot of fighting spirit. After all, every time he plays is very precious to him. His desperate defense has caused a lot of trouble to the Rockets players. However, he also has many problems in defense and constant foul problems.
, this is also a common problem of these substitute players, inexplicable fouls occur one after another.
With seven minutes and eleven seconds left in the game, Chen Feng hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc and caused a foul on Parsons. The four-pointer was successful and the Spurs were still 8 points behind.
…………
Boris Diaw's mid-range shot missed, and Derrick Favors grabbed the rebound immediately and made a put-back dunk, narrowing the gap to 6 points.
In more than two minutes, the Spurs played an 11:4 spurt, narrowing the point difference to 6 points. This undoubtedly gave the Rockets a blow. McHale also realized the problem and led by a big score.
Under the circumstances, the Rockets' players on the court clearly underestimated the opponent.
Jones pulled out the outside block, James Harden seized the gap and hit a three-pointer. The atmosphere at Toyota Center reached its peak in an instant.
In the past three minutes, the Spurs succeeded one after another, making Rockets fans sensitively feel the danger. At the critical moment, James Harden's long shot stabilized the morale of the army and demonstrated the value of the core players at the critical moment.
Looking at Chen Feng who was trying to break through in front of him, James Harden said confidently: "Chen, your performance is really admirable, but this time, I won't let you take the victory away from me."
Ignoring James Harden's provocation, Chen Feng's entire mind is now focused on the game.
When everyone gave up the game, Chen Feng firmly believed that any miracle would be possible until the last second of the game.
However, as a professional player, you must not wait for a miracle to happen. You can only do your best. Miracles only appear for those who are prepared.
With six minutes and eleven seconds left in the game, Chen Feng shot a three-pointer from the right wing at a 45-degree angle. Chandler Parsons, who had always been with him, would not let him succeed easily. The moment Chen Fengqiu took the shot, Chen Fengqiu was photographed.
The right wrist of the wind.
Naturally, the referee would not let such an obvious foul go. Chen Feng's free throws were naturally no suspense and he easily hit three free throws.
Taking advantage of the timeout, the court switched the screen back to the studio. Director Zhang looked at the data in his hand and said excitedly: "When everyone thought the Spurs were doomed, the Spurs' shooting guard Chen Feng...
Within three minutes, four consecutive hits
A goal helped the Spurs lead a 16:6 victory. Now the point difference between the two teams has been pulled back to 4 points. With six minutes and eleven seconds left in the game, the Spurs still have great hope of winning.
Of course, Chen Feng took the greatest credit in this wave of attacks."
After the timeout, the Rockets re-entered the starting lineup. In McHale's philosophy, offense is the strongest defense. The reason why the Spurs scored a wave just now is mainly because of the team's offense.
Not putting enough pressure on the opponents gave them a chance to breathe.
Jeremy Lin performed poorly, so McHale naturally wouldn't let him stay on the court. With Jeremy Lin off the court, the Rockets' best choice for point guard is naturally Beverley. (To be continued...)
