The game started. In fact, no one had much expectations for this game. Including the league office, there were no instructions issued, because in their view, it was 3-0, so there was no need to intervene. So this
The court ball is probably one of the cleanest games for law enforcement.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Dayao, what do you think the Rockets' winning rate is in this game?"
"I think it's gone. Although I'm a Rockets legend, I still have to tell the truth. That is, this series is actually over since the end of the last game. Now it's just hanging on.
"
Not only Yao Ming thinks so, but others also think so, including the national live broadcast of this game, O'Neal and Reggie Miller also believe that this game is actually a meaningless formality.
.This time, even O'Neal didn't have any objections to sing. He just said that the Rockets really couldn't afford to support them and that they would fall badly in the playoffs.
They are far different from Olajuwon's Rockets team back then.
If he were still with the Lakers, he could eat them alive.
Well, this is actually a disguised way of bragging about how awesome you are and how unsolvable your peak is.
Of course, at his peak, he was indeed very dominant. There is nothing to say about this.
At the beginning of this game, the Rockets wanted to play a quick defensive counterattack but were suppressed by the Lakers. The Lakers played very frustrated in the last game. They were sent off for various fouls, which was really depressing. So.
From Butler to Rondo to Ariza, they were all trying to defend, but they didn't give the Rockets any chance to take advantage of. The Rockets' fighting spirit was not high tonight, so they were quickly suppressed.
.
Falling into a positional battle, this is the rhythm of the Lakers. Tang Qian wants the ball, and the team pulls away, and then easily squeezes out the "cake king" Capela and scores this low offensive goal. Now, he is worthy of his name.
A big killer in the low post. This is what Dwight Howard has wanted to pursue his whole life but has never gotten it.
The Rockets could only convert into continuous breakthroughs. Unfortunately, the effect was not good this time. The Lakers were all angry, so they did not give in at all in physical confrontation. Such a strong confrontation momentum, and
For the Rockets, this offensive model has come to a standstill.
What should we do? We can only rely on the stars to break the game. Otherwise, the momentum on the court has been completely suppressed. If we continue like this, we may not be able to hold on in the first quarter. But strangely enough,
Harden turned into O'Neal in the first quarter and made 0 of 4 free throws! This guy... made Harden look confused.
Well, haven’t I gone to a nightclub to party? Why do I feel like I can’t see the basket clearly?
Am I dreaming now?
Coupled with the Lakers' high-pressure defense, the Rockets made many mistakes. If Paul hadn't fought hard and led the team to connect, they would have been sent into garbage time by the Lakers in the first quarter.
"The tyrant killed the middle, who can stop him? Oh, no, no one can, the tyrant took off, dunked, and we lost another 2-point goal."
"He was still a tyrant. He caught the ball in the low post and made a fake pass. He suddenly started and hit the baseline. Capela reacted quickly to the ball and was not deceived. He defended well. This... is a pity.
He was directly pushed away. The physical strength of No. 29 on the opposite side was actually too strong. Capela clearly reacted and slid to move, but he was still squeezed by his opponent."
"This is the gap in absolute power. In this era, he is the O'Neal of the past, and he is the kind of big shark O'Neal who has no natural enemies at all."
When Mike D'Antoni wants to set up a rush to the basket, he must first open up the basket, so that he can easily distribute the ball and activate the team's three-point shooting firepower. This is the Rockets' strongest offensive aspect. Capela
I really didn’t believe it. After receiving the ball, he went directly to the center. Randall of the Lakers saw it and didn’t even go to stop it, and just let him rush in. Because the Lakers’ No. 29 happened to be standing inside.
Inside, stay motionless, waiting for the other party to rush over.
Capela took off and dunked, raising one hand, wanting to cheer!!!
It helps the team to improve its momentum, but... sometimes, you will find that you have to believe it even if you don't believe it. The idea is very rich, but the reality is very skinny. Capela's ball was slapped by the opponent and flew out.
He himself almost overturned the car and fell into a dog's mouth.
This power... I am like a child compared to him.
So fierce!!!
After the Lakers failed to score a three-pointer, the Rockets set up a one-on-one setup. Harden went over to play a single and used a misplaced pick-and-roll, trying to hit the Lakers' Rondo. But the Lakers' shot was blocked by Butler.
Off the Rockets' screen, Anderson was quite tall and strong, but he was a little soft, and Butler squeezed past him. There was no chance for the opponent to play a mismatched single.
The meaning in Butler's eyes is very clear, that is, you either hit me or pass the ball!
I'm going to have sex with you tonight!
Harden actually beat Butler in this series, but tonight he was a little distracted. The ball was blocked by Butler, and then Tang Qian of the Lakers helped defend Harden from the waist position.
It got stuck. The ball hit Tang Qian directly. He didn't even have a chance to use it. It was a mistake.
The Lakers launched a defensive counterattack. Rondo quickly made a move, and then, like an eye on the back of his head, he made a fake pass from side to side. In fact, he was going to...to the Lakers Tyrant No. 29 Don Ah who was following behind him. Rockets
He immediately went over to help defend and wanted to block the middle, but it was too late. Tang Qian, who was already fully charged, didn't care that they wanted to come to the middle to block. He just used force to block the middle. After getting the ball, he held the ball with one hand.
, angrily slashed toward the Rockets' basket.
Bang~
The basketball hit the floor hard.
This time for the Rockets, Harden took the ball and dribbled it for a long time, and then passed it out again. This made Paul, who received the ball, so angry that his lungs almost exploded! He thought to himself, what the hell were you doing dribbling the ball for so long?
Do you want to dance? You only have 5 seconds left for me. What do you mean? But now that time is urgent, Paul has no time to think about Harden's stupid behavior. He dribbles the ball and heads towards the Lakers.
He dug deep inside the three-point line.
He broke through the ball very quickly and successfully cut through the middle. Rondo felt that time was running out and the opponent would make a long shot, so he focused on guarding against Paul's long shot. As a result, the opponent broke through and he lost a little bit.
Taking the initiative, Paul dribbled past him. However, the Lakers' defense came over at this time. Randall moved directly to stop Paul from moving forward. He used his body and tonnage to force Paul to stop, causing Paul to fall into the Lakers.
surrounded by teams.
But Paul immediately made a European step after the ball was passed. Paul didn't have much to use. He passed by Randall's defense, and then took off with a one-on-one challenge, evading Tang Qian's block, and shot high into the net.
.Help the Rockets break their scoring drought during this period.
There was no problem with the Lakers' defense in this game. It was just a display of Paul's personal ability.
Tang Qian also made gains on offensive rebounds. After Ariza missed an outside shot, the basketball bounced high. Tang Qian succeeded in counterattacking in an instant, directly squeezing the Rockets' Capela behind him. Capela could only be
I watched helplessly as the Lakers got the offensive rebound on the 29th, then jumped up on the spot and dunked into the net with both hands.
The score difference is getting wider and wider.
At this time, D'Antoni called a timeout, replaced Harden again, and told the Rockets to let the Rockets attack more independently on the 13th and stop thinking about anything else. Now the Rockets need him to score. He is the best player this season.
A quasi-super scorer, at this moment, no one on the Rockets is more reliable than him. Well, at least from the data point of view, this is true.
However, Harden showed his special attribute of "King of the Playoff Chain" at this time. He clearly heard D'Antoni's arrangement off the court. But after coming up, he was hesitant and just didn't play much! This is urgent
D'Antoni and Rockets fans are upset. They don't understand what Harden is doing!
Can't you make a big splash and lead our Rockets to catch up with the score difference?
Well, Harden's answer is, I can do it in the regular season, but in the playoffs... I really can't!
So some unexecutable things happened for Rockets fans. Harden got the ball, and the whole team opened up for him. Then what did she do? Yes, a very irritating operation, a few lucks
Dropped the ball, and then...passed the ball directly to Anderson of the Rockets. Anderson didn't make any offensive preparations at this time, because he clearly heard clearly off the court that D'Antoni meant...come up.
Then let James Harden play in individual singles.
Shouldn't the rest of them just pull away?
What do you mean by dumping the blame on me at this time?
It's not interesting, just do it like this, because Harden can't control himself now. He has fallen into the state of "postseason stupid". This state is not something he can get out of if he wants to.
, in fact, once inside, James Harden may not even be able to get out for the entire game.
Yes, it was so embarrassing, and then Anderson, in a state of self-doubt, hit a shot and the Lakers attacked again.
Tang Qian got the ball in the low post and hit the basket with a low right hand hook.
Capela was going crazy. He was ready to continue to face the violent collision of the Lakers No. 29. As a result, after he got the ball, he raised it high and hit it with a low hook. This technique
...At first glance, it seems that he is confident.
Even Capela sometimes thinks, if this guy becomes proficient in technical skills in the future, then we will give him a shit.
Just admit defeat every time you face off.
He couldn't hold back his power flow, let alone strength + technique? That would only make his death more miserable.
Capela actually performed well in the last round, posting a wave of 10+10 data, which is actually good for a player of his level. He is not a super insider, and these data are enough.
.But look at this round... Oh my God, it fell directly into the Mariana Trench.
So far, the average is about 3+2 per game... Let me ask you, is it miserable or pitiful?
Tang Qian's playing time increased sharply in the playoffs, and he didn't enter much garbage time in the first three games, so he was on the court for almost 40 minutes in a game. While he was there, people in the same position had almost no rebounds.
The ball is over.
Capela even thought that he might as well take me off the court. What power would I have on the court?
Are you looking at the other person's performance as a foil?
Just as he was thinking about it, the opponent made another breakthrough layup, and Capela's heart... felt gloomy.
