I really play basketball

Chapter 190

During the break between the first quarter and the second quarter, Tang Shuai frowned on the Rockets' bench.

He glanced at Dameng who had been playing singles for almost a whole quarter, so he was a little tired.

He took another glance at the glider, which hadn't played much in the first quarter and didn't have a few drops of sweat all over its body.

"Clyde, I will leave the start of the second quarter to you."

Glider knew that according to the regular rotation order of the two teams, in the second quarter, it was time for the Warriors to replace Lin Xing.

At this time, he went on the court to steal a wave, just taking the opportunity to find a wave of state.

So, the glider nodded and took over the task of leading the team for the second quarter.

What he didn't know was that another field——

"Our strategy is successful, but not enough, so I think we should increase the speed..."

Old Nelson looked at Lin Xing while talking.

"Sta, can you not rest in the first half?"

Lin Xing froze for a moment, then nodded.

He understood what Old Nelson meant. Generally speaking, at the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Xing and Dameng would take the opportunity to rest for a while to recharge their batteries.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two of them came on stage together and made another effort.

After halftime, the two took a 15-minute break.

As soon as the second half comes up, continue to work hard, and then take a rest at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In the last seven or eight minutes of the game, the two made another effort to take the game away.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it's the victory of the game or the loss that is taken away.

Now, Nelson Sr. decided to break the mold.

Let Lin Xing take advantage of the time when Dameng is not on the court to play a wave, it is best to open the score with a wave, and the game will be stable.

So, the second quarter begins.

The glider looked at Lin Xing who suddenly stood on the field and was stunned.

"Aren't you resting, Star?"

"Rest?" Lin Xing's eyes widened. "This is the Western Conference Finals. Rest is too extravagant."

Lin Xing pretended to beep, and then beckoned to Chris Gatlin under the basket.

Old Nelson decided to let Lin Xing play to increase the wave speed, and also took Gatlin's factor into consideration.

With Gatlin, Lin Xing still has teammates on the court who can cooperate.

Just like this wave of offense, with a pick-and-roll cover by Gatlin, Lin Xing rushed in directly.

The glider went around the screen, and Pete Chilkat, who was facing Gatlin, came up directly to block.

On the front, the Rockets went directly to the pinch defense.

As a result, Lin Xing made a high toss in, Gatlin caught the ball, made a toss, and accurately fell into the unguarded basket.

On the sidelines, Tang Shuai shook his head.

He didn't expect that Lin Xing would choose to fight continuously. He thought that this was old Nelson's crooked move.

But he really couldn't follow, because the first quarter was overdrawn by the big dream, and this rest time was really needed.

Seeing that Lin Xing threatened the Rockets' defense, he assisted Chris Gatlin and easily scored 2 points.

With a score of 35 to 32, the Rockets are already 3 points behind.

Tang Shuai can't do anything, he can only pray for the attack that turns around, and the glider can break through the Warriors' defense.

Lin Xing didn't know much about glider, the main reason was that when he entered the league, glider had already gone downhill.

In the two years since Danzi retired, the number one shooting guard in the NBA is Rock Richmond, not a glider, and that explains everything.

The style of the glider is somewhat similar to that of Lin Xing.

His medium and long-range shots are very average, and it is even the main reason why he has been restricted from becoming a top super giant.

But he is a super giant, which means that he has other good shows.

There are only two things that a glider is good at——

The first is the counterattack. The peak glider is one of the strongest defenders in the league in counterattack. It is tied with Magician, Barkley and others, and may even be stronger than these guys.

The ability to push the counterattack generally includes the ability to advance with the ball, the ability to distribute the ball in the counterattack, and the ability to protect the backboard and so on.

But counterattack this move, at least against the Warriors, the glider is out of the question.

Because the Warriors will never give the glider a chance to fight back...

Secondly, he is far beyond the strength of ordinary defenders.

There is no real data to support this point, but there is a comparison.

That is to say, when Danzi hits the rock with his back, he will perform very hard, because the strength is not enough.

You know, Rock's style and characteristics are very similar to Joe Johnson. It is not surprising that he belongs to the kind of large shooting guard with great strength.

But the glider hit the rocks with its back, and it was always easy.

But the problem is that the opponent of the glider in this game is Lin Xing, and it is against Lin Xing who is directly inhuman.

Facing Lin Xing, the body of the glider is not only not an advantage, but even a disadvantage.

To sum up, the glider is a good at counter-propelling, and strong against outstanding shooting guards.

Although he is getting older, he is no longer at his peak.

But after joining the Big Dream this year, he can occasionally perform at the peak super giant level.

however……

After facing the Warriors and Lin Xing, Glider is unlikely to become a super giant. He is just an ordinary star.

Even, it may not even be as good as ordinary stars...

In the rocket's attack, the glider tried to play singles, but Lin Xing directly blocked his way in.

Anyway, just an idea, don't let the glider go to the near frame area.

So what if you cast him a mid-to-long distance glider?
In this wave of offense, the glider really shot.

If you don't vote, you can't do it. When Dameng is on the scene, he can mix.

But now that Dameng is no longer present, if he continues to mess around, who will stand up and lead the Rockets forward?

In the middle distance, the glider turned over and made a jump shot, but Lin Xing, who had never lost his position, raised his hand to interfere.

Bang!

"Rebound, rebound!"

Rodman is another player on the Warriors' side who played from the first quarter to the second quarter. With him, the rebounds were properly won.

"Dennis Rodman grabbed the rebound, he gave the ball directly to Star, the counter is coming!"

Although Matt Gudica is no longer Lin Chui, he is still a little excited to see Lin Xing turn around and push the counterattack.

The Rockets retreated quickly, but no matter how fast they were, they didn't have a big dream.

Lin Xing rushed to the front court with the ball, without braking, and went straight to the basket.

No matter how fast the rocket retreated, it couldn't stop Lin Xing who was charging like a tank.

Immediately staged a wave of visual feast on the court——

"Sta, he ran into Clyde Drexler, who was retreating, and rushed directly to the basket. Pete Chilkat didn't dare to fight head-on, so Sda dunked directly!"

Fast break, counterattack, straight to the basket, Lin Xing made a heavy dunk, bang!
"boom!"

"Sta once again tore through the Rockets' defense, 37 to 32, and the Warriors are expanding their lead!"

With a gap of 5 points, Tang Shuai was in a hurry, but it was useless.

He knew that even if he changed to Dameng at this time, it could ease the crisis of the situation.

But at the end of the game, they will still lose.

After all, they can't rely too much on Dameng, especially during this time period.

The Rockets' offense is still the glider holding the ball.

He thought that the pick-and-roll might be able to solve Lin Xing's single defense, so he beckoned to Pete Chilkat at the basket.

"Clyde is going to run a pick-and-roll too, see how the quality of Pete Chilkat's screen..."

Chilkat is a big man after all, and the quality of the screen is still very good.

The glider rushed in directly under the cover, but in the next second, Rodman's defense came up.

In the middle distance, Rodman blocked the sky and the sun in front of the glider.

Lin Xing finally bypassed the cover and returned to the side of the gliding fuselage.

Faced with Lin Xing and Rodman's front and rear siege, the glider chose to pass the ball.

"Clyde, his pass went straight to Robert Horry in the corner, look at Horry's three-pointer?"

Horry's three-pointer is very accurate, and the ball is considered a wide open, but...

Bang-dang-!
Even if it is a wide open three-pointer, no one can guarantee that every ball will be hit, and Horry's ball is lost.

With a three-pointer and a long rebound, Lin Xing jumped high and took off the rebound with one hand.

"Counterattack counterattack!"

There were chants of counter-attacks on the court, and Matt Gutica, in the commentary booth, was excited again.

He watched Lin Xing go all the way to the field——

"It's another chance to counterattack. Star held the ball and went forward. Clyde followed. He kept retreating..."

"But Lin Xing didn't go inside. He stopped outside the three-point line!"

"The three-pointer who stopped and chased..."

Swish-!
Lin Xing hit the three-pointer with one hit, and there was a clear sound of scraping the net.

40 to 32, the point difference is down to 8 points.

On the sidelines, although the second quarter had just started, Tang Shuai couldn't help it.

He hesitated to speak, wanted to call a timeout, but held back again.

Because the glider's pick-and-roll attack in the previous round turned to Horry, he saw that there was still hope of coming back on the offensive end.

So, he watched another round.

"Later, the glider will definitely have to cover and play pick-and-rolls. Chris, you can go and watch Robert Horry. Dennis will come out of the defense and switch directly to the pick-and-roll. We will not delay."

After a wave of failures, although he did not lose points, Lin Xing still pulled the team's two insiders before the Rockets' offense started, and corrected the pick-and-roll defense strategy.

So, for the Rockets' offense, the glider asked for a pick-and-roll and went straight in.

But this time, Gatlin focused on Horry, and Rodman, who was out of defense, directly switched defenses with Lin Xing.

After switching defenses, the glider faced Rodman.

He wants to play big with a small one, but he also knows that Rodman is not the kind of small man who can be manipulated by him.

He rushed in cautiously, took two steps, but was still blocked by Rodman.

This time it was a jumper from the waist, and there was a bang!
On the sidelines, everyone didn't know whether Tang Shuai could bear it, but everyone knew that Dameng couldn't bear it anymore.

He got up directly and found Tang Shuai: "Rudy, don't wait, let me go..."

……

Although Tang Shuai agreed to Dameng's request to appear on the stage, the Rockets were still 10 points behind when Dameng appeared on the stage.

Because the glider hit an iron, Lin Xing grabbed the rebound again.

With a counter-attack and a push, Lin Xing, who rushed to the frontcourt, made an emergency stop and made a successful mid-range shot.

With a gap of 42 to 32 and 10 points, Nelson's strategy succeeded.

Then came the big dream.

Of course, Gatlin, who is 2 meters tall, can't stop Dameng, and with Horry on the court, the Warriors dare not join the defense and dare not attack.

In this way, Dameng scored 2 points in singles as soon as he played, 42 to 34, and the score gap returned to 8 points.

But the Warriors don't care, because when Horry is on the court, the Rockets can't stop Lin Xing's impact.

Soon, Lin Xing made an emergency stop with a mid-range breakthrough, hit a mid-range shot, and brought the gap back to 10 points.

"The Rockets have a big problem with their formation. They let the Warriors and Stadt grab a wave of rhythm. Now, Hakeem, who has reappeared, has to face a 10-point deficit."

"The Rockets can't defend against Stalin now. The 10-point deficit may last for a while."

Matt Gutica realizes this game, the Rockets may be losing.

He also racked his brains, trying to find a way for the Rockets.

But in this game, the Warriors are playing against the Rockets with a clear card, and they are playing offensively.

Even though Lin Xing played a few minutes more than Dameng in the second quarter, the pace of the game started too fast, and Dameng actually consumed a lot, even playing more than Lin Xing who played a few minutes more.

The reason is simple. When Dameng was on the court, the reason why the Warriors couldn't push back was because Dameng kept speeding up and turning back and forth to retreat.

For a big center like Dameng, the consumption of turning back and retreating is too great.

But there was no way, in order to curb the momentum of the Warriors' counterattack, he had to keep retreating regardless of the rapid consumption of physical energy.

The Rockets really have nothing to do with the Warriors, at least in this game.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Rockets by 69 points, 58-11.

Everyone realized that the wave of rhythm that the Warriors grabbed in the second quarter had already doomed the end of the game.

Just look at the half of the game after Dameng came back. Although the Warriors have nothing to do with Dameng, the Rockets also have nothing to do with Lin Xing.

In the next game, even if Lin Xing and Dameng confront Biao, the Warriors can win this game.

"It's going to be 1 to 1, the Warriors still have something."

"I think that this game was Rudy Tomjanovich's mistake. He shouldn't play against the Warriors, just like the Warriors shouldn't play defense with the Rockets in G1."

"Look at the adjustments made in G3. In any case, this round of the series is already confusing."

The second half, as everyone expected.

The Warriors didn't give the Rockets a chance, although Dameng played more than 8 minutes in the third quarter and scored 13 points and 5 rebounds.

But it was useless at all, the Warriors didn't even need Lin Xing to stand up to Biao Dameng.

In this quarter, Lin Xing only scored 8 points, and Xiao Chong filled in the remaining 5 points.

Xiao Chong also scored 8 points, and the two guns combined to score 16 points in the third quarter.

At the end of the three quarters, the Warriors still led by as much as 13 points.

Finally, it is the decisive battle in the fourth quarter.

Tang Shuai may have seen that there was no hope for this game, so he chose to fight with his back, and chose to burn the boat.

which is--

Kenny Smith, Horry, Mario Elli, and Sam Cassell, who came off the bench, all started shooting threes.

If it rains three-pointers, the Rockets still have a chance to come back.

If not, there is no chance at all.

The end is of course - can't!
The Warriors aren't stupid enough to shower their opponents with [-]-pointers when the odds are in their hands.

In this way, the four quarters ended, 132 to 115, an offensive battle, and the Warriors won.

With one win back, the score of the Western Conference Finals became a 1-1 tie!
