Chapter 653 Ten Thousand Arrows Are Fired
During the halftime break, all the Spurs celebrated Whiteside in the locker room. It was not easy for this brat today. Except for the opening period, after the start of the second quarter, he actually confronted Howard head-on.

"Promising, promising." Duncan patted Whiteside's shoulder with a smile. He really regarded Whiteside as his younger brother. When he was getting old every day, someone from the Spurs had to stand up and take over Take your own class.

"Indeed, Hassan, there is really no comparison between your arm and Dwight's thrust. You can actually carry him hard without losing, you are awesome~"

"That's right, when you were abused miserably at the beginning, I thought I was going to lose today."

"You guys are improving really fast. If you continue like this, you will be able to grab the best defensive player next year."

……

The Spurs are very happy, and the Rockets are also full of confidence. Howard is obviously much happier in the Rockets, basically with a smile on his face, not as sullen as he was in the Lakers.

Although he is behind at halftime now, Howard still encourages his teammates carelessly in the locker room.

In fact, there is nothing to encourage. This group of people in the Rockets this year is a group of optimists. The boss Harden is the one who can lead the team to nightclubs to have fun. The only one who can grab the boss position is Howard. Teammates brought out by such a boss, do you expect them to be sad?

"Let's shoot more three-pointers in the second half." McHale scribbled on the tactical board, then raised his head and said to the crowd.

"Three-pointers?" As far as shooting three-pointers is concerned, the Rockets are actually doing okay now, and when outside shooters are accurate, they are still the kind that don't give people a chance to survive.

"Well, Dwight, I'll leave the inside to you." McHale's tactic was the same as when Howard led the Magic to the finals. A big center stood inside, and four pitchers outside "swished" Three-point rain, continue after failing to score inside and grab rebounds.

"No problem." Although Whiteside doesn't look so easy to deal with, Howard is confident of suppressing him one-on-one.

……

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs were surprised to find that the Rockets had a team of one big and four small, Beverly, Harden, Parsons, Casspi and Howard.

For this lineup, apart from Howard, the remaining four have three-point ability, and Beverly's defense is also quite strong. There is Howard inside and Beverly outside. This lineup is not a problem except that it is a little short. .

The Rockets had the ball, and Beverly gave the ball to Harden after halftime, and then the Rockets opened up 4 outside lines, leaving Howard inside.

Whiteside must suffer a single defense against Howard. With Harden as a passer, as long as Howard is not foolishly playing back-to-back singles but hitting the basket face-to-face, Whiteside will definitely not be able to stop it.

Harden waved his hand to signal everyone to step aside, he wanted to eat Qin Yan alone.

Qin Yan stared hard into Harden's eyes. Some people say that the highest state of defense is to look into the opponent's eyes and know what the opponent wants to do. Qin Yan wants to try it now, anyway, it's enough to fight back after losing points for a while.

Harden began to dribble the ball under his crotch, and played with left and right cross steps quite smoothly. Later, this trick was nicknamed "seven-step kill" after he became proficient.

What is "seven-step kill" means that after seven steps of dribbling, you can definitely make a shot.

Of course, Qin Yan doesn't know if Harden has mastered the "seven-step kill" now.

One, two, three... six!Qin Yan counted, and after six steps, Harden suddenly took a step back, which looked like a three-pointer!

"You think I'm muddy?"

Qin Yan stepped forward and jumped up, reaching out and covering Harden's face directly.

But Harden's shot was not a shot. After jumping up, he threw the ball to the side!Over there, Casspi rushed over with a pick-and-roll from Parsons, and shot directly after receiving the ball!
"Shh-"

Three points scored!

No one in the Spurs thought that Casspi's three-pointer was actually the beginning of the Rockets' three-pointer rain in the third quarter!
The Spurs attacked, Diaw missed a shot, Howard overwhelmed Whiteside to get the rebound, and then threw his long arm to Parsons who was running in the frontcourt. This year, Parsons is still very hardworking. The ball is shot directly!

"Shh-"

Three more points!

The Spurs are still calm, just two three-pointers, but the Spurs are actually a little vigilant. The Rockets look at the posture, and it will rain three-pointers today?

The Spurs attacked again, this time scoring, and Leonard made a steady mid-range shot.

But the Rockets made a fast break, Beverly made a fast serve from the baseline, Harden made another long pass after two dribbles, Casspi made another three-pointer against Dior's defense!

"Not very good."

Qin Yan discussed with McGrady and felt that there was a small problem. Although the Rockets made three consecutive three-pointers, although it would not stop the Spurs, it was enough for them to pay attention.

McGrady dribbled to the frontcourt and planned to return one, but he underestimated Beverly, and this time he missed a three-pointer under Beverly's interference.

Still Howard, this time he pressed Whiteside and Qin Yan to grab the rebound, and then passed the ball to his teammates.

This time the ball finally reached Harden's hands, Harden took a step back, and then shot against Qin Yan's block!
"Shh-"

Still in!The Rockets made four consecutive three-pointers!

"Hoho—" Harden and the others bumped their chests to celebrate, and the four consecutive three-pointers were really scary.

"Di-"

The Spurs paused, and the Rockets made four consecutive three-pointers. Even if Popovich is as seasoned as he is, he can't hold back now.

"Defend and defend!"

The old man is a little angry. It is a very bad memory to be scored three-pointers by the Rockets. The last time the Rockets scored three-pointers like this, uh, it made Tracy McGrady.

McGrady is also a little embarrassed. He also played this kind of consecutive three-pointers when he was in the Rockets, and the opponent was also the Spurs...

So something will always happen when the Rockets meet the Spurs.

"Defense! Defense! Especially defend me with three points!" Popovich was still emphasizing this point at the end of the timeout.

The Spurs played again, and this time Qin Yan made a direct shot from two steps away from the three-point line and responded with a three-pointer!

The Rockets rushed over again. This time they suddenly found that the Spurs put a lot of pressure on the defense from the outside, and several pitchers had no chance to shoot easily.

But at this time, Howard rushed out of the inside. After a little pick-and-roll, Howard turned around and rushed inside!
Beverly passed the ball, and Howard is now facing the frame. After receiving the ball, he took three steps to prepare for a dunk!
Whiteside didn't dare to move, and now it was too late for him to hide. Howard rushed over like this, and Whiteside could only resist it!

"boom!"

"Di-"

After dunking heavily with both hands, Howard also hit Whiteside with a "2+1".
