Chapter 122

But Westbrook didn't feel very good today.

After he entered the field, facing Qin Ming's individual defense, he made three consecutive hits, but only hit one.

And after he finished playing, Qin Ming came back and got back on the field. He just passed Westbrook at a high speed, and then gave the ball to Paul George for a dunk.

Morris, who was defended by Covington, was always stretched to the bottom line. If you want to shrink, then I will shoot you to death.

If you don't shrink, I will kill you suddenly.

There is only one point that the Rockets can bet on, and that is that Morris is not allowed today.

And Covington did the same. When Qin Ming broke through, he came in to help defend, and Qin Ming passed to Morris on the bottom line.

The latter hit a three-pointer.

In the next round, Westbrook came back from singles, and Qin Ming singled Westbrook again, and the whole match turned into a singles performance between these two.

The Rockets' line was stretched far apart, and Qin Ming didn't look for pick-and-rolls at all. The Rockets had no room for double-teaming.

Qin Ming broke through again, changed direction and passed Westbrook, and passed to Morris on the bottom line again.

Morris hit a three-pointer again.

"Tonight's Clippers showed a truth. People with tough fists are not afraid of any threats. Even if the Rockets show the shooting percentage of the previous game again in this game, they still can't make it through. In this game, we have rarely seen the Clippers play any pick-and-rolls or any three-point tactics. Their offense has returned to its most primitive state. It doesn't need tactics or organization. I just want to rely on my personal ability to kill you again and again."

"Yes, and one of my stars doesn't feel good, and there is another one. This one is not good. I will change another one. Are these three bad? I will change Lu Wei, Harrell, and let Morris come. I have a lot of people to play with you singles. You can't count on the entire team of the Clippers, all of them are not allowed?"

The current stalemate is that D'Antoni can't make it to the fifth elementary school.

If he goes to the fifth elementary school, what they will lose is not only the height of the inside line, but also the only defensive core in the team.

D'Antoni didn't play in the fifth grade, and still put Covington inside.

"Actually, the Rockets can try playing inside."

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets also tried, but Covington faced Morris and couldn't get in at all.

In terms of strength, Morris does not suffer at all. Covington can only choose to shoot many times. Although he is accurate today, it does not help.

Covington hit two good inside shots, but the Clippers came back with two outside shots.

The first quarter ended with Paul George's buzzer layup, and the Clippers ended the first quarter with 30 points to 18 points.

For the Rockets, James Harden made one of three shots, Covington made five of seven shots, and Westbrook made three of seven shots.

The general solution seems to come back to Covington's point.

Continue to play Covington?
Once the second quarter came up, the Rockets did just that.

As soon as the game started, the Clippers' offensive opened up the situation with Qin Ming's ultra-long three-pointer.

After hitting a super long three-pointer, Covington asked that he was facing Batum at this time.

Batum's defense is not as good as Morris, but the experience is there.

Covington couldn't find a good shooting position. He was reluctant to shoot every time, but fortunately he had a good touch and played two more rounds.

When Qin Ming came back, he and Lu Wei, Shamet, Batum, and Harrell formed a substitute lineup.

Covington took a break in the first quarter, and hurried up again in the second quarter, which was a big test for his physical fitness.

At this time, James Harden was also brought up.

This is the best chance for the Rockets to chase points, which is what they did in the last game.

But tonight, the Clippers' touch returned to normal levels.

First of all, they played tactics again. Shamet bypassed the pick-and-roll, and because Covington really didn't have too much physical strength to defend, and he couldn't defend, Shamet succeeded with a three-pointer.

Covington chiseled the inside line again, this time he chiseled in, and scored with a small throw under the basket.

When he came back, Qin Ming directly asked Harrell to perform a high pick-and-roll.

Covington came out, and Qin Ming gave it to Batum on the bottom line after one step.

Batum came with open arms.

"Covington really needs to go down and take a rest."

"He's been playing 1 minutes now. In fact, his average playing time has remained at 28 throughout the season."

Sure enough, in the next round, James Harden's pass was destroyed and went out of bounds, and Chandler replaced Covington.

When Chandler replaced Covington, Mann came up.

He and Batum will be responsible for pestering James Harden.

Although Batum's defense is not very good, but is James Harden's footsteps fast?

In the next few rounds, James Harden staggered in the face of Mann and could only pick and roll to find Batum, but Batum has a lot of defensive experience and basically does not give you any chance to dribble.

James Harden made a foul, but in the next round, he still faced Batum's defense.

He could only break through inside, but this time he failed to get a foul.

The Clippers pushed forward, and Qin Ming took the lead and landed an empty blue.

Come back, it's still the Rockets' constipation-like offense.

James Harden couldn't find space, and as long as he picked and rolled, the Clippers double-teamed. After the double-team, the inside was delayed, and Chandler was a very smart player. He hit Qin Ming two balls near the free throw line.

But as soon as he came back, Chandler was called by Qin Ming and Lu Wei infinitely.

Going back and forth is tantamount to preventing James Harden from scoring, preventing you from organizing comfortably, allowing your players to play chaotic balls, and testing your role player's scoring ability.

After playing for 3 minutes, D'Antoni continued to wave his hand, took Eric Gordon, and replaced Chandler.

He is finally on the five small lineup.

But after you go to the fifth grade, there is still a Harrell on the Clippers side.

Do the Rockets have players who can match Harrell's size?

From 7 minutes to 9 minutes of the second quarter, what I saw was Eric Gordon and James Harden throwing on the outside, throwing ten and scoring four, while Harrell turned the tide inside and played the roles of Covington and Chandler in the first half.

Harrell played this game very well.

After the second and a half quarters, the Clippers started one after another.

They actually played the same tactic in the last game, but the effect was not very good, because Paul George and Leonard didn't feel very good, and simple basketball couldn't be played.

But you can't expect both of these guys to have a bad series.

Moreover, there is Qin Ming on the outside line ready to go, just around the corner.

Therefore, what the Rockets need to adjust is their offense.
