NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

The 15-minute break passed in a flash, the Rockets played as a team of mourners, while the Clippers players had happy smiles on their faces and looked very happy.

It must be said that this was a very happy game for Jordan after he became the boss. If he could beat the Rockets, it would be his first time to beat Tang Yu's team on the court.

In the second half, Tang Yu changed his lineup directly, replacing Oden with Xiaoka.

In the first half, due to Vucevic's shooting range, Oden was pulled out of the paint area by the opponent most of the time, which not only made the Rockets lose their advantage in the interior, but also increased Vucevic's long-range shooting.

It would be more suitable for the Rockets to put Landry directly in the center position.

In this five-small lineup, Durant is the tallest player on the Rockets, but he can only appear at the small forward position.

The Clippers' star player Griffin still needs Xiaoka to defend, but it is also a mismatch.

Entering the third quarter with a 19-point difference can be said to be a big pit dug by the Rockets for themselves, but Tang Yu still believes that the team will eventually win.

Linsanity won't end so easily.

The Rockets defended the Clippers' first attack tenaciously, and Jeremy Lin quickly pushed back to assist Durant's mid-range shot.

Rondo then made a wonderful pass to Marion on the outside, but unfortunately the hacker's three-pointer was interfered by Durant and failed to make the shot.

When the Rockets attacked, Jeremy Lin saw that the Clippers retreated quickly and could only organize a positional attack, passing it to Durant, who was double-teamed and passed it to Ray Allen on the outside.

Gentleman Ray was defended by Butler and then turned to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin, who was already half-open, faked a shot and shook off Rondo who came.

Then he quickly moved sideways and shot a three-pointer!

Jeremy Lin's three-pointer had a very high arc, and it fell into the net after drawing a beautiful arch.

After scoring 5 points in a row at the beginning, Clippers coach Del Negro immediately called a timeout.

The Rockets narrowed the gap to 14 points, which made the Clippers, who were determined to win a big victory, feel the crisis.

Tang Yu was quite satisfied with the players' performance after the opening. The Rockets' tactic in the second half was to leave the paint area empty, let Landry float outside, and let Durant, Xiaoka and Jeremy Lin take turns to attack the Clippers' inside line.

This forced the opponent to shrink the defense to create opportunities for the outside players. Three-pointers are now the foundation of the Rockets.

At 8 minutes and 19 seconds in the third quarter, Jeremy Lin and Durant screened at 45 degrees on the left, and the other three pulled away the Clippers' defensive players on the right. Marion and Rondo double-teamed Jeremy Lin to prevent him from passing the ball.

Jeremy Lin used a dangerous jump pass to find Durant again, and the Grim Reaper waved his sickle and hit a three-pointer steadily.

At 7 minutes and 22 seconds, the Clippers missed a shot, and Jeremy Lin quickly advanced. Although the Clippers players retreated quickly, their positions were not good, and Jeremy Lin was not defended by anyone.

Seeing this, Jeremy Lin accelerated and rushed to the Clippers' paint area. The Clippers' defensive players woke up from their dreams and double-teamed Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin jumped up, and just when everyone thought he was going to layup, he hooked his hand down and passed it to Landry.

After receiving the ball with both hands, the bird immediately jumped up, and Vucevic hurriedly turned and swung his palm, but unfortunately it hit Landry's arm.

However, this did not stop the bird's dunk, and the whistle sounded at the same time!

"And One!" Landry shouted excitedly.

After Landry made the free throw, the Rockets continued to narrow the gap, and the Rockets had a strong momentum to catch up after the start of the third quarter.

Tang Yu kept shouting tactics on the sidelines to let the Rockets players continue to work hard, "Defense! Jeremy, don't give him space to pass the ball!"

The court was very noisy, and the players were very focused at this time, and they could hardly hear Tang Yu's tactical instructions.

Vucevic then responded to Landry's attack with a mid-range shot.

After Lin Shuhao crossed half court, he made a simple pick-and-roll with Ray Allen at the top of the arc. The Clippers' defensive rotation had problems. Butler and Rondo chased Lin Shuhao together, and Ray Allen immediately created an open space.

Lin Shuhao dribbled the ball and took a step back to avoid the space and passed the ball. The gentleman Ray hit a three-pointer!

61-70, the Rockets narrowed the gap to 9 points.

The Clippers were still too young in this game. Coach Rondo immediately yelled at Butler: "I don't need you to double-team you!"

The young Butler was also very bloody and directly retorted: "Come on, man, I'm helping you!"

The two also parted unhappily, but there must be some estrangement in their hearts.

At 4 minutes and 26 seconds in the third quarter, Lin Shuhao forced a breakthrough against Coach Rondo. This time, no one came to help defend. Lin Shuhao made a jump shot after a sudden stop on the right side of the paint area to score two more points.

The score was always within 10 points. Tang Yu directly abandoned Oden in the second half and did not give the emperor a minute to play.

Although Oden can contribute to the Rockets in offense and rebounding,On the defensive end, his presence made the Rockets' defensive rotation very passive.

With two minutes left in the third quarter, Jeremy Lin was replaced and rested, and the Clippers did not expand the score difference to more than 10 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were still 8 points behind the Clippers at 79-87. In the third quarter, the Rockets chased 11 points and beat the Clippers 36-25.

At the end of this quarter, the game was suspenseful again. It can be said that Tang Yu's sudden change of formation played a miraculous effect.

After the team returned to the bench, Tang Yu said to the players: "Guys! The rhythm of the game has returned to our side. As long as we continue to maintain the current rhythm, we can completely take back the initiative!"

The players were also communicating with each other, and Jeremy Lin and Durant were constantly communicating.

Jeremy Lin said: "Kevin, we need to do more pick-and-rolls, and then I will send the ball to you!"

"You have to be careful of the opponent's double-team defense." Durant reminded.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers' coach Long led the team, and the Rockets had Terry and Green partnering in the backcourt.

At 10 minutes and 36 seconds, Rockets' Green broke through and scored a layup, causing Randy Foye to commit a 2+1 foul.

Green kept indicating that the goal was valid, and Foye pushed Green away, and the referee immediately gave him a technical foul.

Foye yelled in dissatisfaction: "Fuck, he knocked me away and said I blocked the foul! Isn't this bullying an honest man!"

Green looked back and looked confused, but he didn't pursue the technical foul after the referee had already called a technical foul.

Marion immediately came up and pulled Foye away to prevent the other party from getting another technical foul. He thought the matter was over, but he didn't expect Terry and Rondo to have an argument at this time.

Both of them were greeting each other, and words starting with F were flying all over the place.

Suddenly, Terry pointed at Rondo's nose and said something unknown.

Rondo was originally hit back by his younger brother Butler in the third quarter, and his dissatisfaction erupted like a volcano in his heart. Now he finally found an opportunity to vent.

He waved his hand without hesitation and threw a punch, which was as fast as lightning and hit Terry's face accurately.

As a veteran in the league, how could Terry tolerate the provocation of the other party?

He immediately raised his hand to fight back and hit the other party in the face.

At this time, the referee and teammates on both sides immediately began to take sides. Marion hugged Terry tightly, and Leonard hugged Rondo tightly.

Suddenly, a white figure flew over from the other half of the court like lightning. It was Randy Foye. He flew up in front of Terry and hit Terry's head.

This punch was as fierce as a cannonball. Terry was completely unprepared and was dizzy.

The situation was completely out of control. As the son of Houston, Green remembered Tang Yu's training: Don't cause trouble on the court, but don't be afraid of trouble. If something goes wrong, I will naturally support you!

A red lightning bolt rushed towards Rondo, the instigator, and his fist hit Rondo's face like a hammer.

Then, Green's left hand immediately connected with a swing punch, and Rondo was held tightly by Leonard and couldn't break free at all. An unknown object flew out of Rondo's mouth, and the scene was very spectacular.

The stadium was in chaos, and the security guards on the scene rushed into the stadium frantically, but the situation was out of control.

The fans were in a state of confusion at the moment. They didn't know why they suddenly started fighting. It was all too sudden!

But it wasn't over yet. After seeing Rondo being beaten, Foye ran away again and rushed towards Green. Green got ready, and the boxing he learned in the summer came in handy.

However, before Foye could get close, Landry appeared between the two of them. He thought to himself, "Fuck, I don't have a role to play! How will my teammates see me? Gerrard has taken all the limelight. I have to show my ability!"

Sure enough, Foye did not disappoint the bird. He rushed towards Landry with a punch, but Landry was much taller than Foye after all. He raised his arm to block a punch, and then punched out instinctively.

KO! Foye fell to the ground like a felled tree. Three referees were not enough. One of the referees immediately lay down to check on Foye.

But in Landry's opinion, this was completely a countdown!

The benches of the two teams were in chaos, but the coaching staff were desperately trying to stop them, and no one dared to enter the court.

Anthony was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, hating himself for not being able to help his teammates vent their anger.

After about 30 security guards rushed in, the scene finally calmed down a little. The big fight that lasted about 5 minutes finally ended!

Foye was knocked out by Landry with one punch, and he collapsed on the court as if his bones had been pulled out. The Clippers' team doctor checked him and called for a stretcher.

Some fans even remembered the terrifying Auburn Hills game.war, but fortunately this time the Los Angeles fans did not overreact.

Tang Yu stood on the sidelines under Max's protection without saying a word. The audience on the scene cursed the Rockets bench crazily, but no one dared to throw debris in their hands at the Rockets bench.

"Please everyone stay calm, don't throw debris! Stay calm!" The on-site commentator held a microphone and reminded again and again on the court.

Everyone knew that if it hit the players, it would be fine, but if it hit Tang Yu, the Rockets boss, the nature would be different.

Max told his men in the headset: "Everyone watch, if anyone throws debris at the boss, catch him immediately!"

"Understood, boss!" The six team members answered in unison.

There was chaos in the field, especially the Clippers bench. Rondo was knocked out of two teeth by Green's two punches, and Rondo, who had blood in his nose, dyed the towel bright red.

Foye was rushed to the hospital!

Although Terry was hit by Rondo, the beautiful team doctor Chelsea Ryan checked these boys one by one, and everyone was fine.

The two teams were separated by security guards. The referee first asked the league whether the game should continue, and the league soon gave an answer.

The referee called the head coaches of both teams to his side, "This incident is very serious. We may fine many players on the spot. But the league still wants to finish the game. What do you two think?"

"I have no opinion!" Tang Yu said immediately.

"I agree too!" Clippers coach Nigro echoed.

The referee said: "Well, we are going to watch the video replay now, and then we will make a penalty on the spot!"

Tang Yu returned to his bench and said to his disciples: "The game will continue. Let me tell you about the lineup in a while."

After such a long time, everyone should have rested well. Tang Yu did not mention the fight. He and Cassell discussed the next lineup selection.

Landry's last punch will definitely get him ejected. Fortunately, Ibaka will return to the team in the next game, otherwise there will be no one available.

Jeremy Lin, Ray Allen, Durant, Kawhi Leonard and... Tang Yu glanced around and saw that there were still 4 people on the bench, McGrady, Yao Ming, Oden and Blair.

Tang Yu was sure that Landry, Terry and Green would be ejected. McGrady might not be ready to play now, but he will definitely be in the rotation list in the next game.

As for now, Oden will still play.

The referee soon made a penalty. The Rockets thought the same as Tang Yu, Landry, Terry and Green were ejected.

Rondo and Randy Foye of the Clippers were ejected, and Vucevic received a technical foul.

Since Foye received a technical foul before, the two teams could directly offset the free throws of the technical fouls without free throws.

The 2+1 penalty caused by Green still had to be executed. Since Green was ejected, Ray Allen took the free throw instead.

The three players who were ejected from the Rockets left the court amid boos from the audience.

Rondo paid a heavy price for his troublemaking. His teeth were broken and his teammates were rushed to the hospital. These were all punishments for his impulsiveness!

The Clippers replaced Rondo's point guard position with Mo Williams, and the rest of the main players were still in the lineup.

In the subsequent games of the Rockets, Jeremy Lin and Durant scored points one after another, and Kawhi froze Griffin on the defensive end.

The Rockets narrowed the score gap to 1 point with 3 minutes left in the game, and the game entered the final decisive moment.

Butler first broke through at 2 minutes and 49 seconds, causing Oden to foul and go to the free throw line.

Then Durant turned on the "Death God" mode and started to compete with the Clippers team. First, a three-pointer helped the Rockets tie the score.

Vucevic responded with a three-pointer. Durant turned back and stood outside the three-point line to face the interference of Marion and shot the opponent in the face and scored another goal.

Griffin was not soft at the critical moment, and he hit Kawhi Leonard hard and went to the free throw line.

He made both free throws, and the Clippers led by two points again at 119-117.

After Lin Shuhao crossed the half court, he handed the ball to Durant, who was in hot form. The Clippers actually used double-teaming, and Butler and Marion double-teamed the Grim Reaper together.

Durant ignored the defense of the two, dribbled one step, and then stepped back and made another mid-range shot!

Scored 8 points in a row, and the Rockets bench was completely crazy. Durant is worthy of being the league's top scorer, and he never hesitates to score at critical moments.

At this time, there were only 44 seconds left in the game, and the two teams were 119-119!

The Clippers called a timeout to arrange tactics.
