Dwight. Howard played a sparse first quarter, and since being scored by Link with a fantasy dance move, the Rockets No. 12 seemed to have lost his heart.

He shot 1-of-4 in the first quarter and only had 3 points and 3 rebounds. If that's a superstar, then the league is a superstar.

Before the start of the season, it was thought that the Houston Rockets should have made it to the top of the West.

But their current 9-5 record is not top-notch at all. Records aside, the quality that the Rockets have shown in many games has nothing to do with the word "top."

For example, in the first quarter of this game, in the Rockets, people only saw a Harden who was completely out of the game, and a Howard who was gradually being convinced.

The whole team was scattered, and they didn't even have the determination to chase the basic team record.

This kind of team, no matter how strong it is on paper, cannot become a top team.

"If the Grizzlies were to play a record-breaking game, I guess they would be able to bite off each other's ears." Even the commentator couldn't help but start complaining, this confrontation that was supposed to be wonderful became lifeless.

Thankfully, not everyone on the Rockets is doing badly. "Rich and handsome" Chandler. Parsons is playing very well, and now Parsons is still thinking about basketball, and his strength is really good.

Link blocked his shooting space several times, and he was still able to hit accurately.

In addition to that, on the Rockets bench, Israeli forward Omi. Cosby is also hot today.

Picked by the Kings late in the first round in 2009, Casby was the first Israeli player to play in the NBA, joining the team as a three-point shooter.

In his two seasons with the Kings, Cosby shot 36.9 percent and 37.2 percent from three-point range, respectively, with a high efficiency. But after that, Casby's three-point shooting percentage plummeted due to transfers and injuries.

Last season with the Cavaliers, Cosby shot less than 33 percent from three-point range. As an average perimeter, this three-point shooting percentage is not up to par, let alone as a shooter.

But this season, Cosby's performance has been somewhat of a comeback. So far in the game, Cosby has averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 43%!

Today, Cosby continues his hot form. He played as the No. 4 and hit shots from beyond the three-point line.

Relying on the play of Parsons and Cosby, the game was not completely spent.

The Rockets struggled through the fourth quarter and still trailed by nine points. However, a nine-point trail is better than being garbage time for the entire fourth quarter.

McHale wanted to win, so he didn't give up. The Rockets' current 9-5 record is too far from the prediction. Therefore, McHale will not pass up any chance to save the record.

Now that the fourth quarter is underway, McHale must make sure his team can quickly close the score. After all, time is running out for rockets.

There's not much to say about the offense, and with both Howard and Harden in a relatively sluggish situation, McHale can't make the Rockets' offense any better. The only thing he can do is start from the defense.

So, McHale looked at Patrick, who has been doing well this season. Beverley.

Beverley was known for his tenacious fighting spirit in the playoffs last season. He is known as the "mad dog", which is an interpretation of his overall style.

In the fourth quarter, McHale plans to replace Jeremy Lin with Beverley to strengthen the defense! Then rely on Parsons and Cosby's magical touch and Howard's residual warmth to win the game!

As it turned out, McHale's decision was incomparably correct. Because Beverley had just come on the court, he forced Conley to make two mistakes in a row!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Beverley made a strong interception, allowing Conley to lose the ball out of bounds. Beverley then scored on his own, narrowing the gap to seven points.

In the next round, Befer used his rough confrontation to steal Conley and successfully complete the fast break himself.

In just two rounds, Beverley scored four points with two steals. The most important thing is that the difference was instantly narrowed to 5 points by him!

The Grizzlies were playing with the Rockets all the time, but in a blink of an eye, the difference was only 5 points! It rekindled Howard's originally extinguished fighting spirit.

"Beverley did play really well, and Coach McHale's substitutions worked wonders. His mad dog-like style is very suitable for playing in tough battles. ”

Hubi. Although Brown supports the Grizzlies, he must also admit that Beverley is excellent in both rounds.

Snatched four points by the Rockets for no apparent reason, Dave. Joggle took an emergency timeout. Seeing that the opening 15 consecutive wins are in hand, there is no way to roll over at the last moment.

"Mike, you can rest first. You played too long today, and I'll replace you at the last minute. Jogger replaced Conley, who had made two consecutive mistakes, and the good-natured Conley had no objection to that.

Conley's back-to-back mistakes are indeed related to the huge physical exertion. Conley's playing time has skyrocketed this year without Vasquith. After all, Dellavedova does not yet have the ability to be on the field for long periods of time.

As a result, Conley's physical exertion has always been not small. is already tired, and has to be entangled by Beverley's "mad dog", and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

"Link, then you control the ball and play as a playmaker. Dela, your job is to defend, understand? ”

Jogger didn't dare to let Dellavedova control the ball, the guy defended well, but the offense was just too lacking. But fortunately, the Grizzlies have Link, an all-around forward who can play as a point guard.

As long as Dellavedova doesn't make a mistake and replaces Conley at the last minute, the Grizzlies will definitely be able to close the game!

Dellavedova nodded and took off her training clothes. Just as he was about to play, Link waved his hand and motioned for Dellavedovar to come to his side.

As a draft pick who was just brought to the team and was cleaned up by Link. Dellavedova has a lot of respect for Link. Seeing Link beckoning, he immediately ran over.

Beverley looked over the Grizzlies bench and saw that Link was plotting something with Dellavedova. This image made Beverly nervous.

Every time Link and his teammates talk to each other, nothing good happens.

The game restarted, and the changes to the Grizzlies were obvious. In addition to replacing Conley with Dellavedova, Link also became the team's main point of attack.

Link's offensive playmaking is quite mature, and you don't have any problem saying he's a 2.03m point guard.

With Link's organization, the Grizzlies' basketball runs just as smoothly as Conley does when he is on the floor.

Eventually, Randolph got a shot from mid-range to finish off the offense. The margin turned back to 7 points, and the Rockets were still unsafe.

Beverley wanted to launch a quick counterattack, so he quickly had to cross the baseline and accelerate straight towards the Grizzlies halfcourt.

But he had just crossed the halfway line when he collided with Dellavedova!

Conley wouldn't defend so roughly, and not necessarily Dellavedova.

Beverly knew he had an opponent and worked with Terrence . Jones made a pick-and-roll tie to shake off Dellavedova.

However, Dellavedova brutally pushed Jones away and continued to wrap around Beverley.

In an instant, the scene turned into a dog-eat-dog battle.

Beverley was so embarrassed by Dellavedova's rough defense that he could barely feed the ball to Howard. Howard was about to turn around and face the frame, but Link was caught in the bag and cut the ball away.

The fourth mistake in this game, Howard's newly ignited fighting spirit, was extinguished by Link.

Link sprinted after a steal, and Harden had a chance to stop Link, but he gave up. Watch Link pass by and dunk with ease.

McHale is so angry, Harden's defense has to fight with Anthony! No, it's not even more important than Anthony!

Obviously, he just saw a little glimmer of hope, but the score difference was pulled back to 9 points.

Dellavedova's appearance completely negated Beverley's role.

Beverley's biggest role is defense, but now that the person in charge of the ball has become Link, and Beverley is not playing against Link, his defense is useless.

As for the swift counterattack, Beverley basically couldn't play when he encountered Dellavedova, who was as crazy as himself.

Dellavedova didn't care about anything else, he was like a wolf who had been hungry for three days and three nights, staring at Beverly.

When others are crazy, he is even more crazy!

After Link's dunk, he gave Dellavedova a thumbs up.

Who doesn't have a ruthless man in their hands? The Rockets want to rely on Beverley's resurgence, go dream!

Howard has all done it, how could he not be able to handle the small role of Beverley.

Ten seconds later, Beverley was fouled by Dellavedova as he drove to the basket.

While Beverley was able to get to the free-throw line, his free-throw shooting has been very shaky. In the end, only one of the two free throws was made, and the Grizzlies still earned.

Dellavedova was fouled with his back, but he didn't care. Anyway, he played a game for so much time, but he couldn't get 6 fouls.

After Beverley's mad dog was contained, the Rockets became at their mercy. Link's playmaking allowed the Grizzlies to hold on steadily, while the Rockets' offense stumbled.

Beverley was basically unable to dribble properly, and as soon as he dribbled two steps, he was rudely interrupted by Dellavedova.

Looking at Beverly who was cornered, Hubi. Brown shook his head.

Who doesn't have a guard with a knife by their side? To McHale, that man was Beverly. For Link, that person is Dellavedova. But today, Beverley was crushed by Dellavedova.

The ruthless people around the ruthless people are destined to be not simple.

Under the defense of Dellavedova, Beverley hit the iron one after another, and the magic was no more.

Dellavedova seemed to be put up by Link for hand-to-hand combat, he didn't do anything, he didn't even touch the ball much, and patronized and "wrestled" with Beverley.

Dellavedova looked fierce on the surface, but in fact he was afraid in his heart. Every time he saw Beverley coming, he remembered what Link had whispered in his ear before he came out.

"him for me, or I'll you."

The thought of this sentence gave Dellavedova goosebumps all over his body. So, desperately went to fight Beverley......

The more the rocket hit, the more heartless he became, and the score difference was widened more and more. In the third minute of the fourth quarter, when Link assisted Iguodala on a three-pointer to stretch the margin to 15 points, the fans in the stadium were already celebrating the victory.

The league's longest opening streak will no longer be exclusive to the Sky City from now on.
