runaway point guard

Chapter 394

In the third quarter of the game, the Rockets finally had a little light.

Yao Ming's alley-oop led the Rockets to a 9-2 shock wave, and the score became 62-56, with the Hornets only leading by six points.

6 minute left.

The Hornets called a timeout.

Although in terms of overall strength, the Hornets are better than the Rockets, but things in the world have never been absolutely superior to those with low strength.

Such as today's game.

The Rockets feel up!Although the Hornets did not kneel, they did receive a severe wave of attacks.

The Rockets' feel in the playoffs this season is really against the sky. When facing the Trail Blazers, their shooting percentage in the fourth game exceeded 65%.

In this game, their touch seems to be coming.

The game restarted, the basketball came to the Rockets, and Yao Ming received a pass from Artest near the baseline on the right side, and then he bent down and tested Chandler's reaction.

Chandler was a bit empty, and Yao Ming immediately changed direction to his left hand!
Some Chinese players are still good, such as soft shooting touch and good ball handling skills... Yao Ming is a 226cm big center who can use the ball behind his back to sway defenders, which can explain a lot of problems.

This time, he used a change of direction, swayed Chandler aside, and at the same time took a big step forward, very close to the basket, then he put away the basketball, turned to the right, and jumped up...

"boom!"

Another slam dunk!
For ordinary people, dunking is a very labor-intensive and hurtful thing, but for Yao Ming's height... dunking is really not a big deal.

This dunk won the appreciation of some Chinese fans next to the court.

Director Zhang also said excitedly: "Yao Ming's turn around is great!"

The score was 62-58, and the Rockets were only 4 points behind!Their dawn is brighter!The Rockets' defense is also very powerful, with only 4 points left to make them full of confidence.

The Rockets suddenly improved their defense, and the Hornets were a little uncomfortable. Paul's breakthroughs were ejected several times.

Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu is the most poisonous stinger of the Hornets, and he is very capable of facing such a tough battle.After Zhong Yu received the ball, Battier followed up quickly and stuck to Zhong Yu tightly. Zhong Yu made a fake shot and he was unmoved, so Zhong Yu continued to lift his body. Battier was also worried about Zhong Yu. Yu made a fake show, raised his body a little, Zhong Yu lowered his body in an instant, the basketball hit the ground, moved sideways a step to the right, and then shot a jumper straight away!

Battier closed it in front of Zhong Yu's eyes, but it was still too late.

His basketball bounced directly into the net, and Zhong Yu used a three-pointer to turn the score into 65-58, and the gap became 7 points again.

"Zhong Yu's key ball ability!" Yu Jia said with emotion: "It is indeed very good, look at this three-pointer...he shot too accurately."

Director Zhang said a little faintly: "The score gap is 7 points again... The little hope that the Rockets raised just now is gone now."

The situation is really like that... After Zhong Yu made a three-pointer, the Rockets' score gap was further widened.However, fortunately, the morale of the Rockets is good now. They resumed their offense and played relatively HIGH.Bryant missed a three-pointer from the outside, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and forced a tip-up, Chandler was pushed down by him, Yao Ming got a rebound and two points to make the score 65-60, the Rockets were still short 5 points to catch up with the opponent.

"There is still a gap of five points."

The hearts of the fans were raised, watching the Hornets' offense.

Because, if they miss the next attack and are hit by the Rockets in a counterattack, they are likely to be tied directly.

Paul took the ball and broke through the inside. Brooks really couldn't do anything about Paul. Paul's physical fitness was better than him, and Xiaobu became a defensive black hole in front of Paul.

After breaking through to the free throw line, Paul put away the basketball, took a step inside, and after attracting enough double-teams, he passed the basketball to Zhong Yu, who followed behind him quickly.

Zhong Yu is also a defensive target of the Rockets. Yao Ming and the others let go of Paul to double-team Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu threw the basketball into the sky!
"Bang!" The dull dunking sound seemed to make the entire basket explode. When Yao Ming and the others turned their heads, they could only see Chandler's right hand muscle full of explosive tension hanging on the basket, flashing and saying Can't help but hideous.

"Nice job!" The way Chandler expressed his excitement was to pat Zhong Yu on the head, and Zhong Yu also punched him in the chest. These things must be returned...

With this ball, Paul attracted double-teams, and Zhong Yu distributed it to Chandler after receiving the pass, giving full play to the advantages of the Hornets.

As long as they pass the basketball, the Rockets will be very difficult to deal with - Zhong Yu and Paul are both masters who need to double-team, Chandler inside has amazing explosive power, West's jumper is accurate, Peja can shoot three-pointers... …This five-man combination is really worth giving any team in the league a headache for them, offensively.

The score gap is back to seven points.

"The Hornets' game is getting better and better!" Yu Jia said: "After they pass the ball alive, the Rockets often are not sure who they should defend. This is a disaster for them."

The Rockets' offense soon had problems. This time, their shooting percentage was not as abnormal as before.

Although Yao Ming is a center forward, many times his technical style is somewhat similar to that of a guard. Within the reasonable collision zone, as long as he can turn around, his shooting can only make people pray to God.

But he missed the ball.

The rebound was picked up by Chandler, and then, Zhong Yu smashed the ball after halftime, and then passed the ball to Paul, cut into the inside line, attracting the attention of several people, Paul broke through again, attracting several people to double-team and Zhong Yu Already withdrew, Chandler blocked Battier for him. In this way, Paul passed the ball into Zhong Yu's hands, and basically there was no one left in front of him who could interfere with his shooting.

Zhong Yu takes the ball back and takes a step back, makes an emergency stop, and then shoots a jumper from outside the corner three-point line, Battier can only come up to close his eyes...

Battier's blindfold was obviously not of much use to Zhong Yu... Zhong Yu's jump shot turned a net on the basket a few meters away!

Three-pointer hit!The score gap once again turned into double digits!
Zhong Yu looked at Battier's gloomy look, chuckled, and said suddenly: "For a shooter, you can seal his eyes, but you can't seal his heart that can see through the world."

Battier immediately had goosebumps all over his body, and went back to participate in the attack sullenly.

In the next third quarter, the Hornets maintained their lead.

At the end of this quarter, the score gap between the two sides was 11 points. Although the Rockets still had a lot of hope, it was obviously unwise for this team to pin their hopes on the fourth quarter.

Before the Rockets, their habitual collapse in the fourth quarter always made Rockets fans sigh, but now, it is really difficult to expect them to regroup in the fourth quarter and kill the Hornets.

Back on the bench, the Hornets were really talking and laughing.

"That pass was pretty good, wait a minute!" Chandler gestured on his hand and said, "I'll cover you, you run away, and if they defend you, you pass the ball to me and dunk , if you defend me, you dunk yourself!"

After Chandler said this, he also roughly described the location, Zhong Yu nodded, but still said: "There is a problem with your assumption."

"what is the problem?"

"They may double-team." Zhong Yu said.

Scott heard what Zhong Yu and the others were talking about, and knew where they were talking, so he interjected and said, "So, once you encounter someone double-teaming, you can pass the ball. This is our team's position." The benefits of this lineup. Of course, if you encounter them blocking the pass line after double-teaming or dying, you can only look at the battlefield by yourself."

After Scott arranged the general tactics of the last quarter, the time was almost up.

There is more rest time in halftime, but there is very little rest time between the two quarters, and the game has to restart after a while.

"Long live the Hornets!"

All kinds of slogans from the fans came out, and then the noise-making tools issued by the Hornets at home to the fans echoed frantically throughout the arena.

The atmosphere of the Hornets' home fans is very good, especially in the playoffs. In this hurricane-ravaged city, the worship of the Hornets in the playoffs seems to be treating their own beliefs.

There is even a special "Hornets Playoff Guide" issued to fans.

The scene of the game was very chaotic, and the main players of the two teams also returned to the court. The Rockets scored the first ball, and the basketball was passed to the inside.
Yao Ming has already scored 25 points and 4 assists today... It is not easy to be a father and mother at the same time.

However, on the Hornets side, Zhong Yu received a pass from Paul and made two consecutive fake jump shots from outside the three-point line. The third one became a real one. Zhong Yu pushed the basketball away with both hands. go out……

"Shh!"

A three-pointer opened the score gap to 12 points, and the Rockets' situation became more and more serious.

And the game in the next fourth quarter is also developing in this direction.

The Rockets couldn't beat the Hornets at all. Especially in the fourth quarter, their shooting percentage began to decline. Even Yao Ming, who had already scored 27 points, didn't have such a high percentage of jump shots.

As a result, the Rockets surrendered in the first game, allowing the Hornets to win their fifth playoff victory this season!
The Hornets beat the Rockets at home!
