After a few pours, the ball naturally ended up in Ariza’s hands.

Ariza catches the ball and makes a three-point shot.

“Bang!”

It’s still popping up.

Ariza’s three-point shot is a convulsive type, which is very accurate, but iron is “iron za”.

Howard struggled to grab the rebound, causing Nowitzki to foul and go to the free throw line.

Like Harden before him, the home fans did not reduce the noise of interference in the slightest, and because it was Harden who was more inaccurate in free throws, their cheers were even more exaggerated than before.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Howard, who was not good at free throws, hit two consecutive shots, and the rebound was grabbed by Nowitzki, and the Rockets’ offense was once again unsuccessful.

The opening few rounds have become a microcosm of the first half of the game between the two sides, and Carlisle’s tactical goal is very clear, that is, to strangle Hao Shuai, defend Harden, and then help defend a pitcher like Williams, basically empty other role players.

I don’t know if it’s because of the relaxed mentality, the Rockets role players feel cold in this game.

At the end of the first half, the Mavericks were in full swing and scored a high score of 70, while the Rockets felt cold, scoring only 45 points in the two quarters, a full 25 points behind the Mavericks.

When the half-time whistle sounded, the fans gave the warmest applause to the Mavericks team led by Carlisle and Nowitzki.

Everything the fans did before the game worked, and the Mavericks won their first series at home and were already within reach.

At halftime, the fans had fun playing interactive games.

Bikestaff and the coaching staff were finishing a meeting in the office and were just about to go to the locker room when they bumped into someone in the tunnel.

“Mike!” Bixstaff greeted with respect in his tone.

The man in front of him, with an obvious mustache, is Mike D’Antonis, a former master of run-and-bombardment tactics in the league and a well-known coach who led the Suns to a bombardment last century.

“J.B。” D’Antoni stepped forward and hugged Bikstaff.

“Why, you look very annoyed?” D’Antoni has been idle at home since he was fired by the Lakers, and today he happened to come to the Rockets’ home court with his wife to watch the game.

“You also know the current situation.” Bikestaff smiled wryly and shook his head.

“I watched the half of the game, your small lineup, you can try to let Don play the main control, and then let the whole team run, Dallas these old arms and legs can’t run the second half.” D’Antoni said with a smile.

After listening to it, Bikstaff’s eyes immediately lit up: “You mean shelling?” ”

D’Antoni smiled and nodded.

Hao Shuai played the main control, and Bickstaff also tried several times during the regular season, but there were reasons, either because Beverley was suspended, or to play against Westbrook and so on.

This kind of initiative to let Hao Shuai play point guard, he has not thought about it, but D’Antoni mentioned such a point, it is indeed a good strategy.

The reason why the Mavericks are so much ahead, Hao Shuai is strictly defended, and Hao Shuai played point guard very well in the regular season, plus indeed as D’Antoni said, the Mavericks’ Delong and Nowitzki are veterans, Parsons also has knee problems, speed is of great benefit to the Rockets.

“Thank you! Mike! Bixstaff patted D’Antoni on the shoulder excitedly, and then walked straight into the dressing room.

The Rockets’ locker room was dull, only Harden and Hao Shuai whispered something, and it was clear that most players never expected such a situation.

Bikstaff pushed the door in and said, “Guys, we’ve got to make some changes.” ”

The players were all attracted by the voice, and when they saw the confidence on Bickstaff’s face, they finally saw some hope.

After Bickstaff finished speaking, he took the tactical board and signaled the players to surround him, and he continued: “We need to play fast, we need to run to reverse the game, Hao, you will be the point guard of the team in the second half.” ”

Harden’s eyes suddenly widened at this time.

Bixstaff quickly explained with a tactical board, looked at his watch as he spoke, and stopped when the halftime was approaching.

“Guys, get moving, we’re going to end the series in Dallas.” Bikstaff said confidently.

“We will.”

“Win this game!”

“Houston must win!”

The players shouted, and then left the dressing room.

“Hao, tell me, did you guy say yes to the coach before?” When walking out, Harden pulled Hao Shuai and asked, when the two people in front of him communicated, Hao Shuai was saying that he wanted to recommend himself to play point guard.

“I don’t have special features.” Hao Shuai said with a smile, and he went back to the locker room with Harden at halftime.

Harden scratched his head in thought, then waved his hand and said, “No matter, let’s turn the game around!” ”

At halftime, fans were still excited, and the Mavericks now led the Rockets by a wide margin, and it was not impossible to become the first team to reverse 3-0 if they played with momentum.

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets brought down Beverley with Williams and continued to play a three-guard lineup, the difference being that Hao Shuai began to advance with the ball.

Carlisle saw this scene and immediately signaled Delon and Matthews to pack up in advance.

Hao Shuai had just passed halftime when he was about to fall into the bag.

Hao Shuai’s vulture eye patrolled the whole court, and soon found that Williams was in a gap, and a moment before the bag was formed, he directly flicked his hand, and the basketball passed Matthews’s side and followed Williams.

The timing of this pass was perfect, Matthews realized the pass, but it was too late to turn back, Williams received the ball without the slightest hesitation, and directly shot the three-pointer.

“Ugh!”

Williams hit him with his hand and hit the first three-pointer of the game, as well as the Rockets’ first three-pointer of the game.

Carlisle looked down at this time and pondered, although the difference in points on the court was still more than 20 points, but this adjustment of the Rockets made him feel threatened.
