Chapter 310 Only when the tides of the sea are flowing, the true qualities of a hero are revealed!

In Texas, Houston International Airport welcomes a challenger from the Bay Area.

Houston is different from some tourist cities. The Houston area is one of the most important industrial bases in the world. There are 26 of the world's top 500 large companies, 5152 manufacturers, and nearly 25 skilled workers. The center of industry, Houston is an extremely prosperous city.

Houston is a prosperous commercial city, which also promoted the basketball market in Houston. At that time, Yao Ming helped the Rockets increase their market value in those years. In recent years, Harden has joined the Rockets and entered the playoffs one after another. Promoted to the Western Conference finals, the enthusiasm of the fans is even higher!

On the game day, a large number of fans gathered at the entrance of the Toyota Center arena early and prepared to enter the arena. The Toyota Center, which can accommodate 2 people, was already full. When the Warriors entered the arena, they saw a fire Red, like a burning flame.

Game start.

Coach McHale's starting lineup is: James Harden, Trevor Ariza, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard and Jason Terry.

Steve Kerr's starting lineup is: Zhang Xin, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andrew Bogut.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, the Warriors won the ball for the first time, and Bogut finally got tough.

Zhang Xin dribbled the ball through the half court amidst the boos of the audience. Maybe the fans would be more tolerant during the regular season, but in the Western Conference Finals, which is a life-and-death game, the fans' positions are especially clear!

The Warriors let Thompson develop his touch from the beginning. Bogut screened for Thompson on the baseline. Thompson circled the bottom corner for a three-pointer. Zhang Xin passed the ball, but Terry's defense was particularly timely. When Zhang Xin's ball arrived, his men also arrived. Thompson had no chance to make a shot, so he could only pass the ball. Zhang Xin signaled Thompson to go to the low post, and Thompson understood what Zhang Xin meant.

Thompson turned around and ran to the inside, and then suddenly turned around and caught Terry. Zhang Xin's timing of the ball was very good. As soon as Thompson got in the right position, Zhang Xin's ball was in place. , The height difference between Terry and Thompson is more than ten centimeters.

Looking back, the feeling of the Rockets returning home is different. Howard's shooting percentage has improved. He received a pass from Harden in the low post and pressed Bogut. He turned around and made a small throw with his right hand. He missed many shots in Golden State. Howard, the first one to invest impartially!
Not only Howard, Ariza and Terry also made too many mistakes, especially Terry, as a veteran, he knows how to take advantage of the home field. Not only does he keep making hits on the offensive end, he also dares to confront on the defensive end, so that Thompson will not be easily shot.

Back at home, the Rockets have a lot more defensive strength, because some referees will choose not to blow whistles that can be blown or not. This makes it difficult for the Warriors to attack. In addition, the atmosphere at home is very fanatical. Very unfriendly, with constant booing. Although most of the warriors except for Livingston Barbosa and two rookies are members who won the championship and have experienced the cruel general game, it is still not very comfortable in this environment. comfortable.

Although it is not shy, but it is much worse than Wang Yang's unrestrained at home. Competitive sports sometimes compete for the slightest advantage, and the effect of letting go and playing is definitely different.

In the first quarter, the Rockets played their best start since the Western Conference Finals. In the first half, the Rockets led the Warriors by 22 points!
The score between the two sides was 86:64. The Warriors' offense can't be said to be bad, but today's Rockets feel really hot, and the restrictions on the Warriors are also in place. Smith and Dwight Howard protected the frame, and the Warriors played very hard.

During the intermission, Cole and Zhang Xin kept encouraging their teammates, but in the away game, the Warriors seemed to be caught in the tactics of crowds of Houston fans. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors were still struggling. Even though Zhang Xin had been creating opportunities for his teammates, the efficiency was not high. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors trailed by 25 points!
The situation of the Warriors has collapsed to the extreme. There is only one quarter left, and the Warriors are already 25 points behind. If it were an ordinary team, at this time, they could change the starting lineup and raise the white flag to surrender, but Zhang Xin Unwilling to surrender like this, he said with a sullen face, "Coach, we can't admit defeat, the situation has gotten so bad, I'm going to fight it out!"

Cole patted Zhang Xin on the shoulder: "You can fight according to your own ideas. It's already in this situation. What else is there to worry about?"

Zhang Xin turned his head and said to his teammates: "Success or failure is determined by one stroke. Don't think that there will be another game after this loss. You know how difficult we played at home in the first two games. Today is an away game, and the next game It's also an away game. Today is difficult, and the next game will still be difficult. If you don't win today, it will be difficult to win the next game. If the Rockets win the home game, we will be the passive ones! So, gentlemen, come with me Bar!"

Zhang Xin raised his right fist obliquely, Thompson, Green, Bogut and others raised their fists and leaned against Zhang Xin. Zhang Xin let out a powerful cry from his chest: "We must win!"

All the warriors: "We must win!!"

All the warriors stepped onto the court with great arrogance, as if they were stepping on a battlefield filled with flames and blood, their aura was different from before!

Harden has been paying attention to Zhang Xin's actions. He saw Zhang Xin encouraging his teammates. After some encouragement, the Warriors actually revived their morale, and it was so strong that Harden was secretly startled. They led by 25 in one quarter. For Harden, he is not at ease, because the Warriors' explosive scoring is too powerful!
In order to fight desperately, Cole went directly to the five small: Zhang Xin, Klay Thompson, Drummond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala's lineup, a lineup with both defense and offense Mixed lineup!
McHale didn't dare to neglect, so he went directly to Dwight Howard, James Harden, Jason Terry, Josh Smith, Trevor Ariza, he knew how good the Warriors are, especially Zhang Xin, who scored in a single quarter Holder!
The fans at the Toyota Center are still singing and dancing. The Rockets' fiery performance today made them full of hope. With only one quarter left and the team leading by 25 points, the Warriors must not be able to make it back!
