Chapter 129

After Qin Ming came on the field, the Rockets' strategy completely changed.

As soon as he came on the court, the Rockets immediately expanded their defense. They had sufficient single-defense capabilities and were not afraid of Qin Ming and the like hitting the basket. Moreover, Leonard and Paul George were fully restricted in this round of the series. The two of them played very hard.

The Rockets' defense is the distance that allows you to move away from me and shoot. It allows you to complete the action. If you can kill the Rockets with the mid-range, then you will kill them. If you can't kill them, then they will find Qin Ming to attack on the offensive end.

This is when the two sides fight for success.

The Clippers are the team with the highest offensive efficiency this season, because they have Qin Ming, who has the highest offensive efficiency this season, and under his organization, the Clippers' assists and support have also reached the top of the league.

This is the chemical reaction that a superstar brings to a team. One person can raise a team to a whole level. This is what a qualified point guard should do.

The arrival of Qin Ming made up for the last weakness of the Clippers, but he also brought a fatal weakness, that is, when Qin Ming was not around, the Clippers' offense was still blocked, and it was still difficult for them to launch, but when Qin Ming was on the court, the team facing him would continue to attack him at this point.

Fortunately, Qin Ming's offense was enough to pass the test, so he didn't count as a hindrance to the team.

They also rely on their super-high level of forward defense to fill the gap.

But when Qin Ming faces an opponent like Westbrook, the Clippers can't make up for him.

In this round, Westbrook held the ball from the outside, directly put into gear and started, and started his super fast first step. He directly passed Qin Ming by half a body, and then relied on his strong body to resist Qin Ming to prevent him from approaching.

For such an impact, the Clippers wait for the opponent to enter the penalty area, and then help Qin Ming assist in the defense. In this case, ordinary players cannot throw the ball.

But when you face a player like Westbrook, there is nothing you can do.

So in the next round, Qin Ming will no longer participate in the independent offense. He needs to reserve more physical strength to defend. Yes, the Clippers now rely on him to defend.

Although his single-defense efficiency is the worst in the team, he occasionally cuts the ball elusively, which also makes the offensive players facing him have concerns.

They usually can only bite the bullet and go inside, and it is very uncomfortable to face double teams.

Leonard succeeded in an outside jumper. He played a superstar performance in this quarter, and he never missed a mid-range shot.

Then let's see, is it my superstar who destroys all your defenses, or your success rate of grabbing me and playing alone.

It's time for the Clippers to fight the bayonet.

However, the state of the Rockets tonight is different.

Westbrook's next three rounds can be said to hang Qin Ming up and humiliate him.

His two consecutive breakthroughs not only scored, but also caused a foul by Morris.

After that, he directly made a three-pointer and made another shot.

Before this, Leonard responded very well. After he made two consecutive mid-range shots, Westbrook was in full swing.

And Qin Ming's main strategy tonight is to defend, he can only try his best to defend, but when Westbrook exploded, who in the entire league said he could be restrained?
He's the best player in this league.

Westbrook attacked again, facing double-teams, and directly chose to pass the ball.

Eric Gordon hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Come back again, Paul George's three-pointer gave the Clippers life, and they have fallen behind too much in this quarter.

But Westbrook continued his superb performance, which even made Harden a little overwhelmed. He had never met such a teammate, not even Chris Paul.

What Westbrook brings to the Rockets is not only the threat of fast break, but also a scoring explosion.

They already have Harden with the most explosive scoring. When Westbrook is in good form, this Rockets team is invincible.

Not even this year's defending champion Lakers, or the Clippers.

Relying on the extraordinary performance of the two superstars and the accurate three-pointers and breakthroughs of a group of role players, the Rockets opened up a full [-]-point gap in the third quarter.

This is the first time in the playoffs that the Clippers have fallen behind so much in the third quarter. They have played a lot against the wind before because they are relatively slow, but in this game, all fans have to admit that the resilience of this Rockets team has been completely stimulated.

When Westbrook performed like this, he once lost to the Jazz led by Mitchell. He scored two consecutive games with more than 40 points, but he still hated and fished.

So in this game, he didn't want to continue to lose.

Westbrook joined hands with Harden to score a full 78 points for the team, of which Westbrook scored 40 points, the highest in the team.

And Harden also scored 38 points. The Rockets played such a game in the backcourt, so the Clippers must lose this game.

The fans said it's okay, this Rockets' home game, plus some black calls, or do you expect the Rockets to perform like this in every game?
That is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Is this the result?
The morale of the Rockets players was high. They stood in the arena in Houston, watched countless fans cheering for them, and spread their arms to welcome this hearty victory.

They still have a game worth fighting for, and that's when they have to take out all their assets.

At this time, the tactics of both sides have been studied, and unless something new can be produced, this Rockets team can be defeated.

The Rockets, bathed in blood and reborn, have received the respect they deserve, and they have regained their high ground of public opinion. They are roaring to the Clippers, saying, if you want to compete for the championship?Are you going head-to-head with the Lakers?You better get over me.

The Clippers also need such a tough battle to look directly at the weaknesses between them.

They had a very smooth journey. They played against the Mavericks, basically crushing them. With the stars and lineup crushing, they thought they could do the same against the Rockets, but the reality was a little different from what they thought.

The Rockets have now become a big mountain, and can Westbrook's state continue to the next game?
If Westbrook Harden still performs like this in the next game, then a 1:3 comeback is not impossible.

Furthermore, the opposite coach is still Rivers.
