NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

The game continued, the Rockets attacked, Harden dribbled the ball again for half court, and Kobe defended.

Harden pretended to break through, but jumped back and took a three-pointer with a step back.

Although Kobe is very focused, it is too difficult to guard against Harden who has breakthroughs and three-pointers.

brush!
Three point shot!

Kobe shook his head helplessly. Harden's offensive methods are so rich that it is impossible to guard against.

Harden was also very excited and made a classic "sprinkling salt" action to celebrate his three-pointer step back.

Teammates from the Rockets also came over to give Harden a high-five. Now that Harden is the engine of the Rockets' offense, he found the strongest offensive mode, which is the magic weapon for the Rockets to win!

In the next game, both sides played their own advantages. Although the shooting percentage was not very high, the two sides were evenly matched, and no one had the advantage to open the score.

The game lasted 5 minutes and 41 seconds, the score between the two sides was 15:14, the Lakers led by 1 point, and entered the official timeout.

Although Xu Feng was not worried about the final result, on the scene, the Rockets were indeed very strong and would not lose to the Lakers at all.

He kept communicating with his teammates, telling everyone to pay attention to the defenders, and not to give the Rockets an opportunity.

Especially for Howard on the inside, we must pay attention to the defense in place.

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Rockets suddenly exploded with energy. Harden made consecutive breakthroughs and made fouls. McGee and Xu Feng each received two fouls and had to be replaced.

Without Xu Feng, the Lakers' offense and defense were quickly affected.

The Rockets started to take the lead, and the Lakers couldn't stand it anymore.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 34:27, with the Rockets leading by 7 points.

Before the start of the second quarter, D'Antoni was extremely furious, and he criticized the players for not being motivated enough.

The players all lowered their heads and did not speak. Xu Feng knew where the loss was because the referee gave Harden too many whistles in the first quarter.

However, he didn't say anything to refute D'Antoni. He just waited for him to finish shouting before saying: "We have to double-team Harden in advance, otherwise, when he rushes up and then defends, it is easy to be called a foul."

This is the result of the coaching staff's research on the game video before the game, but it was originally intended to be used in the fourth quarter.

At present, it must be used in advance.

D'Antoni suddenly realized, he slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot."

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides played against the bench, and the Lakers did not lose the wind, and even caught up with the score.

到了4分26秒，双方比分40：38，湖人只落后2分。

The head coach of the Rockets has been replaced by Bickerstaff in the middle of the season. Although his player qualifications are not as good as McHale's, his on-the-spot command is not bad.

Especially his use of Harden is more reasonable, giving Harden plenty of space.

The two sides replaced the main players again for a decisive battle in the first half.

As soon as Harden came up, he was double-teamed by Kobe and Livingston. Sure enough, Harden was a little flustered.

His ability to play the ball is average, and his turnovers began to increase.

Although Harden has a lot of assists, his organization is actually quite strong, because the ability to organize is not just about assists.

The reason why Harden has more assists is because he is too threatening to break through, which will make the opposing defense shrink quickly, and Harden has a good vision and can pass the ball to the open hands.

This is close to James' style of play, all with one star and four shots.

The advantage of playing this way is that the data is beautiful. Once the teammates feel hot, they will quickly defeat the opponent.

But there are also many disadvantages, that is, if the opponent restricts your breakthrough, and your teammates feel average, it will stagnate the game's offense.

After Harden was double-teamed, the Rockets' offense really stagnated, and the Lakers took the opportunity to play a wave. In less than 3 minutes, they were overtaken by the Lakers by 7 points.

Bickerstaff hurriedly called a timeout, knowing that Harden was restricted.

Although Harden is the offensive engine of the Rockets, the coach also prepared in advance, which is the genius of Bickerstaff.

Xu Feng and his teammates were very happy. The double-teaming tactics were too successful. Not only did Harden make more mistakes, but the Lakers did not increase the number of fouls. This is very important.

Xu Feng still fouled twice now, at least he didn't have to rest in the first half.

During the timeout of the Rockets, the coach and players discussed in a low voice.

After the timeout, sure enough, the Rockets made adjustments, and Harden no longer held the ball, but replaced it with Beverly.

But Beverley didn't attack, he reached the top of the arc and lobbed the ball to Motiejunas.

This European center has delicate footwork and good handwork, but he is a bit weak in confrontation.

Facing Tucker, he arched twice, but did not move, so he had to make a hook.

Not bad, he is taller than Tucker, has an advantage, and scored with a hook!

This goal temporarily eased the Rockets' scoring drought.

But the Lakers' offense is still unstoppable. Xu Feng catches the ball in the frontcourt, hits Ariza with his back, and hits a jumper!

brush!Two more points.

Although both sides scored, but the meaning is different, the Lakers are still playing conventionally, while the Rockets are playing piecemeal.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 62:50. The Lakers led by 12 and still had the advantage.

There are many Rockets fans in Longguo, so watching this game is very complicated. They not only hope that Xu Feng can win another championship, but also hope that the Rockets will go further.

So in the Tencent live broadcast room, Wang Meng and Yang Yi's commentary was a bit difficult.

"Teacher Yang Yi, do you still have deep feelings for the Rockets team?"

It can be said that Yang Yi became famous by reporting on Yao Mai's Rockets.

"It is false to say that there is no emotion. Sometimes when I see the video at that time, I feel like crying. Many fans only came into contact with the NBA at that time."

What Yang Yi said is correct. Although Jordan promoted the NBA to the world, in Longguo, Dayao is the NBA's publicity ambassador.

The NBA fans before were just a minority, but with Dayao joining the NBA and being the No. [-] pick, the number of NBA fans in Longguo was multiplied exponentially.

Dayao's popularity is also phenomenal. Many uncles and aunts don't know who is in the NBA, but they can say Dayao's name with just opening their mouths.

"I remember that year, when I was still in high school, how time passed so fast. I remembered that when I was eating lunch, Yao Mai's Rockets was playing on the TV in the cafeteria. At that time, almost all the boys were watching it, and they even forgot their meals. have eaten."

Wang Meng also started a journey of memory.

Xiaoqi was young, she didn't have much memory of that time, but she also talked about some family affairs.

"I also remember that my dad and my cousin turned on the TV in the morning, because no one watched TV during the day before, and I was annoyed when I was not in elementary school. Looks good, hee hee."

Xiao Qi's words amused Yang Yi and Wang Meng. They applauded and laughed, and also remembered some past events.
