Chapter 835: The other party is not in a hurry
The Rockets have a good matchup and some offense with some players other than the main players. And their strength after getting Anthony and Paul has simply gone up more than one level!
Although Melon is also a little older in age, everyone knows his offensive ability! Anthony, who began to focus on offense after coming to Houston, simply escalated the Rockets' offense again!
"The opposing defenders are still good offensively, so they have to work on that defensively, and their Williamson tries to play the ...... of the pack," D'Antoni told the players before the game about his arrangement.
Today's Rockets' starters are Capela, Anderson, Anthony, Paul and Harden! Looking at such a lineup, you can know that they want to make the Nets look good in the front!
Paul stood on the court and wondered when he was going to make it to the finals. Back home as usual, Paul continued to watch the Nets game and was thinking about how to play against each other on the court!
I usually come to the training gym to train and now it's almost time to start playing. It's just that today's game is more interesting, as long as they can win them, the Rockets will win the championship! He'll also get his first championship ring of his career!
Anthony didn't think much of it, and his expression changed from a more relaxed state to a serious one. Again, as long as you can score more points in the game.
However, the opponent now has a very good small forward, and there are not many people in the league who can defend this guy, whether it is offensive or defensive! And when he's defending, you get the feeling he's a tough guy!
The starters on the Nets' side are Mozgov, Garnett, Williamson, Jeremy Lin, and Rose! The reason why the Nets have been able to play to such an extent in the last two seasons is partly due to Garnett's consistent play, Jeremy Lin's organization of games, and Rose's fast scoring.
Kevin's performance made him feel satisfied, and sometimes even comfortable. Garnett now knows when to shoot, when to quickly block teammates, and when to dribble quickly and pass to teammates who are in a gap!
Not only did he play well on the field, but he also gave a lot of help to some young players off the field! And he, as well as the kind of big heart that Rose embodies on the court, makes the rest of the Brooklyn players not have too much nervousness and fear in the game.
At the beginning of last season, the team reached a state where most of the Nets players were able to play well in their positions. For example, Russell, who once thought he was the leader of the Lakers, finally came to the Nets after constantly getting guidance from stars such as World Peace and Kobe.
He's doing well right now. This season, Dante's individual rebounding ability has also been recognized by the whole team! His rebounding stats have surpassed Okafor and Mozgov by only 0.8 rebounds per game!
On the field, the performance of the players can also complement each other. If you don't shoot well, you can quickly pass the ball to players who feel good, and all kinds of cooperation can also improve their combat power!
Quite a few players have improved their individual finishing ability! Burke has been keeping an eye out for this! If he wants to be a good defender in his career, he feels that he needs to improve in this area as well.
The Nets' guard competition is still fierce! Crabbe and Burke are almost in the same position, but Crabbe's personal defensive ability is still good, and his physical fitness is relatively strong!
At the beginning of the game, Mozgov took the lead in getting the basketball and passed the ball to Rose, and after shaking off Harden in a feint, Rose jumped directly and hit a three-point shot! The Toyota Center Arena suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers at this moment...... Even Anthony glanced back a little strangely.
The Rockets here have had a good feeling for the emergence of Asian players in the game since Yao Ming came. Yao Ming became famous after coming here! His impact is also enormous!
And now Zhou Qi, who came here from China, and Chen Yinan, who is wearing a suit, are on the scene! Today, in addition to Chen Yinan's fans, Zhou Qi's, Jeremy Lin's, and a group of fans who have watched Yao Ming play, when the Nets took the lead in scoring, their cheers immediately formed a large volume and resounded through the scene!
"Whose home of the hell is this?!" Harden looked at the audience and thought to himself.
Paul watched the Nets players slowly dribble to the frontcourt, and after Lin used his footsteps to shake off Lin's jumper and stepped on the line for 2 points, Anderson got the rebound, and Anthony quickly received his pass and was successfully interfered with by Williamson when he made a three-point jumper!
Garnett watched the basketball come in his direction, immediately grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Williamson, Lin took the basketball to the frontcourt, and the rose jumped up and crossed the net without hesitation after getting the basketball on the other side! 6:0! D'Antoni turned his back angrily and felt even more angry when he saw the elated fans at the scene......
What the Rockets didn't expect was that Brooklyn would start the game like this. Harden took Paul's pass and rushed to the basket after passing the opponent directly from the Rose, and he found Williamson coming over and passed the ball to Anthony, who faked to trick Garnett and ran to Mozgov to post it!
The referee immediately awarded Mozgov a foul, and the melon successfully scored 2+1 after the penalty was scored! 6:3! At this time, the Rockets are also starting to think about how to score here with the Nets! Brooklyn's defense is still very serious right now!
Lin took advantage of Williamson's cover at Paul's and immediately rushed to the basket to score a quick layup! 8:3! After passing the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals, the Nets felt like a different team in the game!
At present, the players of the Rockets basically still feel that the Nets are not so powerful, but today's game can feel the ability and resilience of the other party from the court! The Nets' coordination in the game is no longer as stiff as it was at the beginning of the season.
Harden feigned offense to attract two defenders and quickly passed the ball to Paul, who jumped straight next to Anderson and scored a three-point hollow into the net! 8:6! At this time, the cheers at the scene were much louder than when the Nets scored!
Because it is the home court, the Rocket fans still account for the majority, even Lin's fans, Chen Yinan's fans are fans of these two teams~ They shouted in the game in part of which team scored a goal~ Others asked why they said that they liked both teams~
Although the Rockets were quickly suppressed by the Nets in the early stage, the whole team was not panicked! Little by little, they are fighting against last season's champions!
......
29:28! Finally, Anthony's quick jumper! Super long-distance three-point shot directly into the basket!! At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets still overtook the Nets! Neither team is currently guaranteed to be ahead of the curve!
On the big screen at this time, facing the bench of the Rockets, D'Antoni turned around and called Zhou Qi! The fans at the scene immediately cheered! And Chen didn't know what was going to happen for a while, he was communicating with his players.
"Mozgov and Garnett, you two have to put in more when you're on the inside, and if the opponent breaks through quickly, immediately guard them!! Williamson, Anthony's words, you defend him alone, everyone try not to help defend. Defenders don't put too much distance from their defenders here......"
The other party is very strong in the three points of melon, Paul and Harden! They are also more flexible in their playing style, but they really can't do it, and the cake emperor is still in it! Chan then replaced Rose with Burke!
When I turned around, I saw that Zhou Qi had come to the arena! Lin dribbled the ball across the half, and Garnett got his pass and immediately went to Zhou Qi for a jumper! Mozgov jumped up and scored directly after seeing it! 30:29!
Harden holds the ball to the frontcourt, and Paul catches the ball and shoots a three-point shot! 32:30! The Nets are now feeling a little lost, Brooklyn and the Rockets fought hard in the first quarter, but the result was that they overtook the Nets in the end!
This may be where the other party is more powerful! In the past, when Paul didn't come to the Rockets, Harden himself had to juggle offense and team organization, but now with the two stars in the Rockets, the Rockets sometimes really look like "Rockets" in terms of team operation!
Burke dribbled to the frontcourt, Williamson took his ball and faced Anthony's defense quickly past the opponent and then jumped shot, and suddenly Zhou Qi appeared to interfere with his shot! After the ball popped up, Zhou Qi immediately got up and passed to Paul after getting the rebound under the scramble with Kevin!
Harden jumped up and hit a three-point shot as soon as he got the basketball to the frontcourt! 35:30! The camera was given to Zhou Qi, at this time he had a serious face, and his playing time was very limited, so he had to quickly create more data for himself in these times!
Burke immediately used Williamson's body to quickly get past Anthony and Zhou Qi and then threw 2 points directly into the account! 35:32! D'Antoni shook his head slightly.
Anthony jumped up and hit the basket directly after taking the basketball and hit the board into the basket! 38:32! Chen asked for a timeout.
"Defend a little bit harder! Okafor looks to get more points if he has a chance...... "The Nets let Okafor, Russell and Crabbe on the court after a timeout. And the rocket replaced Zhou Qi......
Zhou Qi, who returned to the field, also felt quite helpless, sitting there alone, looking at the scene in a daze with a somewhat lost look. Blake and Tucker are swapped! Anthony is off the court and Tucker is a very strong player!
Crabbe held the ball to the frontcourt, Williamson immediately felt Tucker's power after receiving the ball, but he was not in a hurry, and after shaking it for a while, he saw that the opponent did not react and immediately hit a 2-point jump shot in this direction! 38:34!
Zhou Qi couldn't figure out what the meaning of letting him play at this time was, just to show his face? Tucker now feels that Williamson's personal reaction speed is much faster than he thought!
After Blake got Paul's pass, he immediately hit the ground and passed to Capela when he feintmed to attack! The latter scored ~40:34 on a direct jumper!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets began to fall behind. And the other party's state and rhythm still seem to be very stable!
Russell carried the ball to the front court and made a quick pass to Okafor under Paul's defense, whose throw was directly covered by Capela! Tucker got the basketball and went to the frontcourt, and Williamson caught up with him and began to defend himself!
He was a little annoyed with this guy now, Tucker didn't pay attention to Paul's request for the ball in the back, but went straight to Williamson, after a few moves, Williamson directly cut off the opponent's ball and went to the frontcourt, he saw Harden and Blake coming in his direction and immediately jumped three-point shot! 40:37!
At this time, Tucker was still a little angry. D'Antoni was just on the sidelines, "What are you doing?!" I didn't hear that! Harden came to the front court and watched Crabbe's defense pass directly to Tucker, who was about to rush in and score, but was directly blocked by the sudden appearance of Williamson in the air!
After the basketball landed, Okafor got it and immediately passed the ball to Russell, and Crabbe jumped up and hit a three-point shot after receiving his pass in the front court! 40:40!
"Hey! You can't hear what people say, go down! Harden walked over to Tucker with some anger and said that he also knew that he was attacking too much without permission. It's the Finals, not the start of the playoffs or the regular season.
The Rockets' six-point lead over each other was chased back in two rounds...... If you play as usual, Tucker will be able to break through immediately! He even has the ability to score consecutive points in some games!
But today it seems that the words are not good. Williamson, this guy doesn't give him a chance at all! Paul dribbled to the frontcourt on his own, and after passing Crabbe, he used the body of Nets player Okafor to score a layup after passing Williamson! 42:40!
After coming to the Rockets, Paul generally played the role of commander in the game! But if he has a chance, he'll score quickly! He is efficient and comfortable with his passing, and his role in the team is still obvious to all!
It seems that the coach means not to let too many main players of the team play now, and play with the Nets in the later games! And the Nets don't dare to relax, the opponent's offensive ability is very good!
If you relax in the early stage, you are likely to be quickly opened up by the opponent, and it will not be easy to chase it in the third quarter! As long as the current Rocket Team turns on the crazy attack mode, it is sometimes terrifying!
And playing like this is also a hidden danger for the Nets. When the Rockets can tie with the Nets with some benches, then the next game will not be good.
In today's game, Chen decided to use the former after thinking about it, so in the early stage, the more points Brooklyn leads the Rockets, the better! Harden and Paul also feel that their teams may not have much hope of maintaining a tie if they let the interior go on the offensive side.
Paul didn't want to be overtaken by the other party, so now he directly attacked himself! Williamson hits a three-pointer by Tucker's side after arriving in the frontcourt! 43:42!
After Tucker got the basketball, Paul and Harden looked at him with cold faces at the same time. It didn't take long for Tucker to get the ball into Harden's hands.
