One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 745: : Clippers? rocket?

Since the end of the trip to New Orleans, the Mavericks have all entered a state of 100% commitment.

After Marion and others returned from Bourbon Street, they had a satisfied expression. Richard Jefferson continued in the locker room to emphasize that Bourbon Street in New Orleans is definitely the best red light district he has ever been to, and there is no one!

When Yiyang asked him how many red light districts you have been to in total, that guy actually thought seriously and raised his finger to count one by one.

No matter what the subsequent numbers are, Yiyang now admires Marion and Richard Jefferson.

But in the locker room chatting back to chatting, on the training ground, whether it is a veteran or a young man, there is no slack.

They know that apart from the championship, there are no other endings to choose from this season. It would be embarrassing to say that if 74 wins were achieved and eliminated in the playoffs.

Although the players are very active in training, Carlisle is still a bit difficult. The Rockets and Clippers, these two teams are now inextricably playing. He really doesn't know which team he should target to make tactics more secure.

Until April 26, that game seemed to give Carlisle an answer.

Howard had 6 fouls and only 7 points and 6 rebounds were accounted for. In addition, he also let Jordan score a 26+17 burst data.

This game was a game that made Howard's face disgraced. Not to mention fans of other teams, even many of the Rockets’ own fans booed Howard.

Now that the two sides fought 2-1, it is self-evident how important this game is to the Rockets. But in this important game, Howard messed up.

Howard can mess up the regular season, but he must not mess up when the Rockets are at stake.

Thanks to Howard, the Clippers kicked the Houston Rockets into the coffin with a humiliating difference of 33 points with a clear advantage in the paint.

128 to 95, the Clippers beat the Rockets by 25 points or more in two consecutive games, turning the series' total score into 3-1.

Hit here, the situation of the series is very obvious. In front of Chris Paul, the Houston Rockets are simply vulnerable.

You know, in the case of 1 to 3 behind, there have been a total of eight times in BA history, and the Rockets in 1995 were completed once under the leadership of Olajuwon. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

But Olajuwon’s miracle may be difficult to pass on to Harden and Howard.

On the second day, Carlisle made tactics based entirely on the Clippers' play style, and practiced defense against the characteristics of Griffin, Paul, and Crawford.

He believes that as long as you are fully prepared, the Mavericks players need not worry about their performance on the court.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of the fifth game between the two sides. As long as the Clippers win that game again, the Mavericks' Western Conference semifinals will officially begin!

After the game ended, Yiyang and his teammates had to wait. Because of the Los Angeles Clippers who got the match point, they lost the ball inexplicably.

In this game, the Rockets scored 20 points for the three of them, James Harden also played a triple-double, contributing 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Ariza 22 points and 8 rebounds, Howard 20 points and 15 Rebounds. Even Corey Brewer and Terrence Jones, who came off the bench, scored 15 and 12 points respectively. With the Rockets in such an excellent state, the Clippers almost fell behind.

"We came step by step, catching up one by one." Harden said after the game. "When faced with a 1-3 backward situation, you will easily succumb and think,'I'll talk about it next season', but we don't have yield."

The tenacious Rockets moved the total score of the series to 3 to 2. Seeing Harden's determined eyes when he said that, Yiyang began to feel that something was wrong. Having fought Harden so many times, he had never seen Harden look like that.

The next day, Yiyang informed Carlisle that the team should practice two sets of tactics at the same time. One set for the Clippers, one set for the Rockets.

"Do you think the Rockets might comeback?" Carlisle stared at Yiyang in disbelief, but Yiyang did not answer.

So in the afternoon training, the players began to train two sets of tactics at the same time, and the training time was naturally increased by two hours.

Although the Rockets pulled back one city in Game 5, most people felt that the situation was difficult to change.

The Clippers seemed weak in the last game, but this one was very serious, and seemed to be ready to return to the home court to end everything.

After the game started, the Clippers played smoothly. Paul and Griffin made the Rockets' defense helpless, and Crawford's impact made the Rockets impossible to defend. Most importantly, James Harden is in a sluggish game. After the last game, Harden had just yelled that **** slogan, but today, he had a moth.

But all the turning points occurred shortly after the start of the third quarter. At that time, the Clippers led the Rockets by 19 points. The sluggish Harden scored only 2 points on 1 of 7 shots in the third quarter. He had to be replaced in bad condition, but McHale's substitution changed this time. This is the direction of the entire game and even the entire series.

After Harden took the bench, the Rockets suddenly resurrected. Although the third quarter is still 13 points behind, but at least this gives the Rockets hope.

The Rockets were desperate, and McHale still let Harden rest on the sidelines in the crucial final quarter. Not all coaches have such courage and dare to let their head star sit on the bench at critical moments.

Perhaps the big lead in the first three quarters made the Clippers relax their vigilance. When they wanted to play their basketball again, they found it was too late.

The Rockets easily scored in the conversion of offenses time and time again. In the fourth quarter, they shot 63.2% of their field goal percentages. Compared with their 20% field goal percentage in the third quarter, they were totally different from the two teams. They narrowed the gap a little bit in the fast-paced offense, and even surpassed the score in the end.

The Rockets played very aggressively on the defensive end, grabbing 21 rebounds in the last quarter and limiting the Clippers’ shooting percentage to 18.2%, while the Clippers, which have Griffin and Jordan, only grabbed. To 5 rebounds. On the offensive end, the Rockets scored 40 points in a single quarter. Among them, Josh Smith, who was ridiculed as the "MVP" in the mid-season, played a key role. He made 3 of 4 three-pointers and scored 14 in a single quarter. Points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Josh and Brewer both scored 29 points together, playing the Clippers very poorly.

Facing the rocket’s unpredictable explosion, the Clippers were obviously at a loss. The team only scored 15 points in the last quarter. Griffin, who had always performed well before, failed to score 0 of 5 shots at such a critical moment. There was also an embarrassing situation of not making a layup. In this battle, Griffin once again proved that he has nothing to do with the words "superstar"! Not scoring at critical moments, this is the most taboo thing for stars. Because of the value of a star, he can only be reflected at the critical moment.

In the last 14 minutes of the game, the Rockets’ two core players Harden and Howard did not score a goal in a sports game. Harden even sat on the bench for 1 minute in the fourth quarter, but the team still played a 49-18 offense. The climax overturned the Clippers in one fell swoop.

Twenty years ago, the Rockets made a comeback after falling 1 to 3 and finally won the championship.

Twenty years later, the Rockets once again fell into a desperate situation of 1 to 3. They struggled for a while, and today they are creating a miracle, and they are expected to realize the old dream of 20 years ago!

After this game, the Mavericks players changed to practice a set of tactics. It's just that this set of tactics is aimed at the Rockets, not the Clippers who got a 3-1 lead at the beginning!

"How do you know they can do it?" Carlisle called Yiyang the moment the Rockets won the game.

"I don't know, Boss. I just think that the Rockets' courage is more than that. Now, you all see it." Looking at the Rockets players celebrating the victory on the court~www.readwn.com~Yiyang couldn't help but clenched tightly. Raised a fist.

After the magical sixth game, the Rockets were confident in the tiebreaker and vowed to make history. They have "dead" once, so they no longer fear anything!

Harden, who was in a sluggish game last game and sat on a semi-cold bench, was fully fired today and vowed to get his name right. He scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the game. Howard also made another effort after scoring double 20 in the previous game, contributing 16 points and 15 rebounds in a large double-double.

The Rockets led by 20 points at one time. In the third quarter, the Clippers launched a counterattack to narrow the points difference, but Prigioni became a surprise soldier and completed the offense after a series of steals, helping the Rockets to open the point difference and expand it to 17 points. This is a mediocre Argentine defender, fully demonstrating his role as a veteran.

The Rockets finally won by 13 points, won three games in a row, and advanced to the reversal! The Clippers became the 9th team in NBA history that suffered a 1-3 comeback. Paul and Griffin were ruthlessly nailed to the shame by the Rockets.

"This is a living contemporary miracle!" After the game, Mike Brin's voice made Yiyang unforgettable for a long time.

At the end of the game, Harden fell completely into a state of madness. He took off his boots and threw it onto the stands. Countless reporters surrounded him, and everyone wanted to talk to this young defender who had created a miracle.

But before the reporter could ask a question, Harden pointed at the camera. Yiyang in front of the TV seemed to feel that Harden was pointing at himself.

"Wait, Dallas Mavericks! This series proves that everything is possible! Don't think you are safe, the Houstonians are coming to take away the victory!"

Across the TV screen, James Harden officially launched a battle against Yiyang!
