Standing pretty old

Chapter 668 Passing by with a smile and Active Duty No.1

Objectively speaking, the Rockets played very well in the second quarter.

In the face of Ji Jisen's reasonable scoring and Ruan Erniu's desperate three-pointer from the top arc, the Rockets were able to withstand the pressure, insisting that you hit yours and I hit mine, always maintaining a good offensive and defensive end. Rhythm, if the game is not spent in advance, it is already very difficult.

The current dilemma for the Rockets is that the focus of perimeter defense is not clear, and Jiong Jisen has become the center of transmission, and he does not force his shots at all, and his offensive efficiency is frighteningly high.

Ruan Erniu pulled the inside all the way, and the touch came. He seemed ashamed to shoot from within 20 feet. The problem was that he could score.

The explosive performance of the Eagles' Gemini stars made the opponent extremely depressed. The Rockets were able to come up with countermeasures, which became the biggest highlight of the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets had the ball, and Dayao made a 15-foot catch and hit a 2-pointer against Ruan Erniu's defense.

Looking back, Ruan Erniu, who was full of three-pointers, made a direct shot two steps outside the three-point line after receiving the pass from Ji Jisen. Yao Ming, who was already at the free throw line, still couldn't make a save.

"brush!"

The barbarian has gone mad, and if he has mad cow disease, he will be like this at most.

Yao Ming ran to the front court and shouted at Er Niu: "You are so awesome, why don't you shoot in the LOGO area?"

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "You think I'm stupid!"

At this time, I am afraid that no one would think that if someone feels it, they can really be distinguished in the LOGO area.

The Rockets failed to find a proper defensive strategy in the third quarter, but Texas Xiaoqiang dared to fight for his life.

Adelman made the most helpless and wise choice of the game, replacing Scola and Artest, and replaced by Brian Cook and Weaver.

I have to say that there is no way to do it, but it is actually the best way.

Rockets fans were fortunate enough to watch the three-point rain together in the second half.

Breakthrough, points, three points;
Low post, points, three points;
Pass, pass, threes...

Ruan Erniu is still thriving, but the Hawks' overall three-pointers are not better than the Rockets.

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides scored 97:86. The Rockets fell behind by 16 points to 11 points. This is not enough for them to see the dawn of victory, but it can always bring them a little bit in the dark night. hope.

Dezhou Xiaoqiang stubbornly dragged the suspense of the game to the last quarter. While the team's strength was at its peak, they still managed to be stubborn to the end.

In this quarter, Yao Mingzai made 4 of 3 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, and scored 10 points. In the rain of three-pointers, he was probably the toughest player in the game.

Among them, after winning the offensive rebound, he dunked Ruan Erniu and scored 2+1.

In any case, the two superstars of China have demonstrated the strength of world-class insiders.

This year's NBA Finals may become a match of the century that Chinese fans talk about for a long time to come.

In the final quarter of the game, the two sides quickly strangled together.

Fouls, shoves, timeouts, the game became staccato.Both sides need to complete offense and defense in intense physical contact again and again.

The Rockets are still the first to launch a wave of attacks, after all, they are still behind by more than double digits.

Brent *White men can fly when they are young* Barry performed particularly well on the offensive end. This veteran player who switched from the Spurs to the Rockets first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then the old man chatted about his youth madness. He went inside with the ball and scored 2+1 against the eclipse's supplementary defense.

Of course, relying on an old Barry is not enough, Brooks stood up again.

Under the continuous care of Bibby and Dragic, Little Black Bean did not perform very well in this game, but in the last quarter, when the team was in urgent need of scoring points, he suddenly revived like a flea and continued to face the defense. He hit two deadly three-pointers.

At this point, the Hawks' lead was down to 4 points, and Woodson had to request a timeout.

"Calm down, guard against every attack, they can't keep going..."

Woodson doesn't arrange any specific tactics anymore. Now that it is arranged, the players may not be able to listen to it. Sometimes, it is up to the players to adjust and deal with it.

On the offensive end of the Eagles, Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position and passed the ball to Jiongsen, who was required by the horn position.

In this game, Jiongsen put more energy on assists and defense. His presence on the offensive end has dropped significantly, but this does not mean that Joe has no final dominance in singles.

Half-turned, feinted, broke through with the ball, changed direction, and feinted again. Artest, who staged a passionate kiss with Jon Jonson in the last game, looked like an abandoned chick. His left foot was not stable, and he directly Ji Huang knelt down in front of Jiong Jisen.

Jiong Jisen took advantage of the opportunity to jump up and hit a mid-range shot, and then a confident smile appeared on his cold face, and he turned and left.

Artest stood up in the fastest time, but this action of kneeling and kneeling still stayed in the shots of various media.

Coupled with yesterday's kiss, this seemed to be a scene of a couple breaking up.

Just like in the lyrics: "You hurt me, and you just laughed it off..."

Jon Jonson's damage to the Rockets is far more than that. Using the ball as the dividing point, Jon Jonson turned into Shura in the final quarter, shooting from inside and outside, and instantly helped the Eagles open the score again.

Yao Ming also worked hard in G4. Even if his physical fitness is not enough for him to shoot as usual, he still has to attack the basket with the ball again and again.

As long as he wins free throws, Dayao has a way to recover points for the Rockets.

But Er Niu would never give Yao Ming this chance. He pushed Dayao out of the three-second zone desperately, forced Dayao to take shots time and time again, and protected most of the backcourt rebounds.

At the last moment, it was also Ruan Erniu who stood up to reap the game. First, he miraculously made another consecutive long-range shot from the top arc.

Immediately afterwards, the low post play, which Barkley called the most correct way of playing, appeared. The exhausted Yao Ming failed to block Er Niu's back attack in the second half of the final quarter.

"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"

Ruan Erniu continued to wreak havoc on the inside of the Rockets. Whether it was turning back and cutting in, or directly cutting through the defense with his back, the Bulls used their own methods to ravage the Rockets' three-second zone to the point of misery.

"beep!"

With the whistle of the referee, the G4 battle finally came to an end.

At 127:108, the Rockets failed to usher in two consecutive victories at home after all. They ushered in their third loss in the finals, trailing their opponents with a total score of 1:3.

But this is not the biggest hot spot tonight. In fact, even if the Rockets won the last game, many experts still insist that the Hawks will use 5-6 games to end the battle.

What really attracted everyone's attention was the data of the Hawks Gemini.

Jon Jonson made 8 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored a total of 18 points, 16 assists, and 11 rebounds in a triple-double.

Ruan Erniu made 21 of 18 shots, including 14 of 12 three-pointers and 10 of 8 free throws. He scored 56 points, 21 rebounds and 2 assists.

Wait, he seems to have done something amazing?

That's right, Ruan Erniu broke many records in the first battle.

For example, the number of consecutive three-pointers hit in the finals was originally four, but now Ruan Erniu personally maintains 7; there is also a record for the number of hits in the finals, which is also refreshed by Erniu to 12, but this is still Not the most important.

Because he also broke Michael Jordan's single-game scoring record in the finals - 55 points. Now in front of the second bull, there is only one individual game in the finals of Elgin Baylor - 61 points .

So far in this battle, there is no suspense about the title of No.1 in active service in the league.
