"Tonight's penalty scale is a bit too much. It seems to exceed the level of the home whistle, right?" Nash now has three personal fouls, which is a bit unacceptable. Look at the situation with the Lakers,
Kobe Bryant committed 4 fouls, Nash committed 3 fouls, Gasol committed 3 fouls, Nick Young committed 2 fouls, Meeks committed 2 fouls, and Tang Qian committed 3 fouls. This does not include the fouls on the bench. So far, the Rockets have committed enough penalties.
That’s 28 goals. It’s only halfway through the third quarter.
Well, if they are all "body hair whistles", then it doesn't matter, the Lakers won't be afraid of them.
However, this is obviously unfair.
There is only a "body hair whistle" against the Rockets. What about the Lakers? They have only accumulated 10 free throws in total.
Missed by a full 15 times!
"Tonight was a bit too much, but don't be nervous. We just have to play at our own pace, try to be as clean as possible on defense, and don't give them too many opportunities to cause fouls." After D'Antoni said, Nick Young curled his lips and said: "
It doesn’t matter if it’s a defensive foul, but what does it mean if I was given two offensive fouls? I didn’t commit a foul at all once, it was the opponent who fouled me for blocking!”
"Don't complain." No. 24 of the Lakers sat in their seats and said with a sullen face: "This is obviously a 'care' given by the league. The higher-ups hope that this series can last longer."
"Tch, damn unspoken rules!" Nick Young has been in the league for so many years, so it's not like he doesn't know about this.
But it was also the first time we actually met.
Because in the ordinary regular season, this situation is rare. Sometimes it is just too many fouls. But in the playoffs, it is different. Nick Young only averaged 4.3 minutes per game in the playoffs, and only once in the playoffs.
He averages 18.1 appearances per game, and most of them are on the bench. This situation cannot happen to him.
In the Lakers, he is currently the sixth man and was "taken care of" at first, which is not surprising.
"It doesn't matter." Kobe said: "There are many playoff games where we still lose after being 'taken care of'. We just need to make the league speechless. Hot, Paul, it's up to you inside. If you hold on a little longer, I'll
You can play in the fourth quarter!”
Tang Qian and Gasol nodded, but the plan still couldn't keep up with the change, because as soon as Harden came up, he caused a defensive foul on Gasol. Pau Gasol committed 4 fouls and had to be replaced early.
D'Antoni replaced Jordan Hill because Thackeray had elbow discomfort before the game and did not play.
As for Ryan Kelly? He's too soft. The Lakers don't need to rely on him to lose three-pointers now.
Come on~ Harden easily scored 2 free throws. He should have a lot of points tonight. A lot of free throws + Kobe scored when he was off the court. Today is a bad breath.
"Tonight is rocket launch time! Victory tonight belongs to the Toyota Center!" Harden shouted after making a free throw.
Taking advantage of the situation to show off is also a necessary self-packaging course for star players, because certain words may be passed down for generations. They may even be mentioned repeatedly in the future and chewed endlessly. This is also a good way to increase one's popularity and audience.
.
It is a good "promotion method" for selling shoes and jerseys.
The Rockets' atmosphere was also aroused, and the Lakers were suffocated by the sea of red.
Momentum, the overall situation is indeed deflecting in Houston's direction.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Olajuwon and Drexler were also building momentum for the Rockets and boasting.
Lakers star Gail Goodrich is a bit "weak" and has a very low appearance rate.
Damn it! This is too much! It’s like a “body hair whistle”!
Seeing that the Rockets created another opportunity to go to the free throw line, Tang Qian was simply depressed, because the free throw shooting percentage was so high! Although the Lakers have Nash in charge of the overall situation, they still have to judge the hand of the shooter.
Yes! This is also the helplessness of the player at position 1. No matter how good the pass is, if his teammates can't make the shot, it's all in vain.
You can't get a dime out of the data.
The current lineup of the Lakers is: Nash + Jordan Hill + Meeks + Nick Young + Tang Qian.
Gasol is gone.
This lineup is a completely sloppy defensive lineup, and Tang Qian alone cannot handle everything.
Besides, there are still foul traps everywhere, and it's scary to touch them.
Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Kobe became a little irritated. He was not the kind of player who could endure his temper to begin with, but his request was blocked by D'Antoni. Because it was too early to play now.
A foul would make it difficult to play in the last quarter. In order to ensure the suspense of the final game and win the game, D'Antoni asked Kobe to hold back temporarily and not be anxious.
With 2 and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the biggest controversial goal of the game occurred.
This was also a major point that countless Lakers fans complained about the referees and the Rockets afterwards.
Howard obviously committed an offensive foul, but it was calculated as a defensive foul on Tang Qian. The former then elbowed Tang Qian, opened up the latter, forced his way up, and dunked into the basket.
"Isn't this a foul on him???" Nick Young couldn't help it on the court and ran over to question the referee.
But the answer given to him was that for one technical foul, the Rockets would add one more free throw.
"Fuck! You..." Before he could finish his sentence, Nash blocked him from behind and said: "This game was obviously planned by the higher-ups. Don't forcefully argue and give them an excuse to continue to award fouls."
"But that ball was definitely an offensive foul by Howard. I could see it clearly!" Nick Young is known as "Yang Shaoxia" in China. His mind is not complicated. If you are good to him, he will be good to you.
This kind of person is easily deceived. For example, the original time and space was given to rookie Russell...
"What's the use of seeing it clearly?" Howard got a chance to hit a three-pointer, so he said proudly: "It depends on the referee's whistle, understand? It's such a simple truth, do you need me to tell you?
"You're so disgusting! Are you called the number one center in the league like this? I'm so bum!!!" Hearing Nick Young's lack of face, Howard took advantage of his height and size advantage and lowered his head condescendingly and said: "Tell you what, what's going on?"
Don’t talk nonsense! I just abide by the referee’s decision! If you talk nonsense like this, be careful with your face!”
Nick Young is not an ordinary role player, otherwise he would not have the "one against five" feat on the field. Whether his fighting ability is strong or not is another matter, but at least his courage is not weak at all. So he loudly
He said: "Then come over and give it a try!"
"Okay, Nick, don't make any noise." Just as Howard and Nick Young were arguing, someone suddenly appeared behind him. He was...
"Hot, you..."
"Nick, he is my prey, no one should compete with me." Tang Qian rubbed his chest: "I want to teach him how to behave."
At the free throw line, Howard was thinking to himself while preparing for a free throw, "Teach me how to be a good person! Do you still want to teach me how to be a good person tonight?"
Referee, can you still resist? Go down and have a rest!
Logically speaking, Tang Qian committed four fouls, and there are still more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter. He should be replaced and protected. Just like Gasol and Kobe, this is a very conventional way of playing.
Method. D'Antoni is also prepared to do this.
Is it all for the decisive battle in the fourth quarter?
However... Tang Qian rejected D'Antoni's substitution suggestion. He waved his hand, smiled at Howard and said, "You continue."
Off the court, on the bench, the Lakers assistant coach said: "Mr. D'Antoni, is it really okay if you don't take off the perm?"
D'Antoni paused for a few seconds before replying: "Do you think he is still a role player?"
"He has unknowingly grown into one of the stars of the team. And..."
"It's still irreplaceable and extremely important."
The teaching assistant who spoke was speechless for a moment.
Brush~
Howard made extra free throws. Even if his shooting rate is not high, he still has a free throw shooting rate of 54.7% this season. It is not unusual to occasionally get a 2+1. Howard has already reached 18 points tonight. The standard direction, and
With a lot of free throws, he finally had the possibility to vent his anger.
And because he got smoother and smoother as he fought, he even entered a state of explosive growth.
The Lakers looked like these two and a half minutes would be a torment.
I don’t know how many points the Rockets will score.
The current score has reached 65-78. Because the Rockets were protected by the league and referees, they exploded in the third quarter. Not only did they overtake the score, they also led the Los Angeles Lakers by 13 points.
You know, at the end of halftime, they only had 42 points.
In this quarter, it seems very likely that we will score more than 40 points in a single quarter.
The Lakers played poorly in the third quarter due to mistakes and declining morale. Nash passed a lot of good balls, but unfortunately none of them were able to hit the basket. At this time, the ability of a super scorer was demonstrated. If Kobe Bryant
Now, he can withstand the pressure, break the deadlock, lead the Lakers to score points, and compete with the Rockets.
Now, No. 24 is not here, and neither is Gasol. If it weren't for Nash, the Lakers' independent offensive capabilities would probably be paralyzed.
So? So, it’s my turn to perform, right?
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The situation of the Lakers is not good. I didn't expect the Rockets to take so many free throws, and the whistles are a bit frequent." Zhang Weiping said: "The Lakers currently lack singles players. It seems that it is really not possible, so Nash can only do it himself.
"Nash did try to do this, but he is aging seriously now. He is 40 years old. In competitive sports, this is really to the extent of "getting old". Therefore, Nash's singles ability has completely degraded and is not as good as it was at its peak.
One tenth of the period.
This is different from organizing a series. Singles is a matter of extreme test of personal ability and physical fitness. Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon in the original time and space, and lost his invincible singles. Although Nash did not have such a serious sports injury, he was not much better.
Don't forget, he is also the master of playing through injuries. At 40 years old, he is several years older than Kobe.
Once a basketball player reaches the age of 30, no matter how you train, the situation will be different every year.
The overall trend is definitely declining. What you can do is no longer improve, but try to maintain it.
Therefore, Nash could only throw the ball to Nick Young on the other side, and he forced a three-point shot. "Young Young" has strong shooting ability. However, Parsons is not an idiot. He is taller than Nick Young.
It's a lot higher and blocks the shot from the front. Even if there is no block, the interference is still OK.
So, Nick Young is a winner.
The basketball bounces high in the sky above the Rockets, waiting for someone to pick it up.
Howard was stuck in position and wanted to protect the defensive rebound. He thought that he had no chance to rebound offensively, but defensive rebounding was still possible. After all, he was also one of the top rebounders in the league and had led the rebounding list several times during his peak years.
The on-site commentator at Toyota Center obviously thinks so too.
"Dwight got the ball in position very early. With his physical fitness and size, I think there should be no one..."
