The god-level lottery of the sports world
Chapter 177
The Toyota Center is still packed, and fans have significantly more confidence on their faces compared to the last game.
If the Rockets eliminate the Spurs to reach the Western Conference finals again, it will be the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and this is done in the powerful West, which shows that the Rockets have become a real power.
Game 4 is crucial for this to happen, and once won, the Rockets extend their lead to 3-1, and there are only nine teams in history who have reversed 1-3, the last one being the Rockets.
Having experienced all this, they obviously know how difficult it is, and it can even be said that luck is greater than strength.
Both sides maintained their previous starting line-ups.
At the start of the game, Aldridge earned the Spurs the opportunity to take the lead.
The Spurs came up and still played inside, and Duncan singled Howard in the low post.
Although Duncan is old, he is still very skilled in his skills, and a few shaking quickly tricked Howard’s hitter into fouling and walking to the free throw line.
Hitting both free throws, Duncan opened the scoring for the Spurs.
Hao Shuai pushed forward with the ball, and there was a cheer at the scene.
It was then that fans discovered the adjustments made by the Spurs.
The man defending Hao Shuai was changed from Danny Green to Leonard.
There was a sudden whistle at the scene.
Leonard’s defense is strong, but he has proven in the first game that he is not strong enough to limit Hao Shuai.
Hao Shuai was quite serious at this time, dribbling to observe Leonard’s every move.
After the last game, he took the game video and watched it several times, but he couldn’t find Leonard Zone’s pattern.
How to activate and how long it can last, these are still unknown, after all, it is the first opponent he encountered to open Zone, he is still cautious.
“Bang!”
As soon as he started, he directly dribbled with four fingers, and the whole person doubled his speed and accelerated to rush from Leonard’s right side.
Leonard retreated to defend and predicted it in place, but the speed could not keep up, and Hao Shuai directly passed him.
After passing, Hao Shuai saw the Spurs defense shrink the basket, and directly made a quick stop and a dry jumper.
“Ugh!”
The basketball fell into the pocket and the two points were firmly in hand.
The scene immediately erupted into an even stronger cheer and whistle.
Sure enough, like the first battle, Leonard couldn’t help Hao Shuai!
The Rockets won the fourth game, and that’s it!
The Spurs’ offense, or the old Duncan, this time beat Howard, causing the latter’s second personal foul, and actually knocked Howard off the court directly.
I don’t know if it’s because of Bicstaff’s reprimand of Howard after the last game, and the spark hit a little too much.
Hitting both free throws again, Duncan packed the Spurs’ first four points.
Hao Shuai pushed to the front, and he had already verified Leonard in normal form with the last goal, so he played more boldly in attack.
He dribbled with a three-finger dribble to press Leonard to the basket, jumped straight up when he was almost at the basket, and came a tie bar through the gap between Duncan’s pocket for a backhand layup, and the ability to walk in the air made it easy for him to do it all.
Duncan and Leonard both became the backdrop for the ball.
The cheers and whistles on the scene were overwhelming, and Hao Shuai is not much worse than Curry now, and it can even be said that he is even stronger than Curry!
In this atmosphere, the Rockets played under the leadership of Hao Shuai and did not play much differently from the last game.
Hao Shuai played comfortably with 12 points and six assists before the first quarter, and under his leadership, the Rockets also led the Spurs by as many as 14 points 30-16.
Late in the first quarter, the Spurs bench regained a few points, but the Rockets ended the quarter with a 32-22 lead.
At the beginning of the second quarter, most of the main players of both sides sat on the sidelines to rest, and at this time, some spectators noticed a detail on the court, the core of the Spurs, Leonard, was replaced at the beginning of the quarter.
Leonard came on, but he was only a player on the offensive end and rarely shot to finish, and the situation on the court did not change much at the beginning of the quarter.
The two teams also played more anxiously.
It wasn’t until more than two minutes into the quarter that a steal broke the scorching situation.
It was Williams who was robbed, and Leonard who made the steal.
Williams beckoned McDaniels to block and hit the basket, his speed and thinness made him look like the wind.
But he only took two steps abruptly, “snapped”, he felt a light in his hand, and the ball had been broken by Leonard.
The break happened in an instant, and Williams was still free.
Leonard broke the ball and accelerated forward, easily broke through Ariza’s defense, and rushed to the front court to score with a one-handed dunk.
There was a stir at the scene.
Hao Shuai, who was sitting on the sidelines, closed his eyes at this time, Leonard’s Zone, activated!
It seems that the activation of this ability requires Popovich to arrange him to play at unconventional times, which is equivalent to provoking him.
And judging from the difficulty of breaking the ball, Death Entanglement is only afraid that it has escalated into a death whirlwind…
The game on the field continued, and this time it was the unlucky man’s turn for Ariza, who took the ball at the top of the circle just to move it, but as soon as the ball came out, Leonard swooped out, slapped the ball off, and rushed to the front court with another violent dunk.
Two breaks, two dunks, and the Rockets were directly stopped.
The fans were also worried at this time.
The difference turned into 6 points in a blink of an eye, and Leonard’s explosion was sudden and rapid.
Coming back from a timeout, Bixstaff sent Hao Shuai to control the field in advance.
Seeing Hao Shuai on the field, the fans immediately let out an excited cheer.
Ace to trump, Leonard played so crazy, if you want to limit him, you can only look at Hao Shuai.
Hao Shuai dribbled the ball to the front, and Leonard immediately stepped forward.
Leonard, who opened the Zone in position, Hao Shuai did not dare to be careless, and the four fingers of his right hand thundered and dribbled and broke through from the right side.
He had just started it, and at this moment, he felt a strong wind in front of him.
So fast!
He quickly collected the ball, and Leonard’s hand almost wiped his hand.
There was an uproar at the scene, and Hao Shuai was almost directly cut off by Leonard just now.
Hao Shuai steadied the ball and Leonard regained his defense.
Looking at Leonard who seemed to be hanging in front of him, Hao Shuai’s face sank, and this was a little troublesome.
