I really play basketball

Chapter 197 Take it!

Lin Xing scored a goal against the defense, 53 to 56, and the Warriors were only 3 points behind.

In another offensive round of the Rockets, Sam Cassell and Dameng involved Lin Xing and Rodman in the front.

The ball was given to the glider again, and the glider's single-handed madman's defense was a little difficult.

But no matter what, beating a madman is much easier than beating Lin Xing.

Relying on the advantage of his physical strength, he squeezed away the madman, went all the way to the basket, and finally raised his hand for a layup under Langley's interference.

There was a chance, but at the last moment, the glider still wilted.

Bang!

The basketball hit the edge of the hoop and bounced off.

Dameng was stuck on the periphery by Rodman, unable to participate in the rebound competition.

Langley easily accepted the rebound and handed it to Lin Xing who retreated.

Lin Xing turned around and began to accelerate, but the Rockets' retreat was too fast, and the counterattack failed.

Although the counterattack was unsuccessful, Lin Xing was already in the middle distance when the ball was stopped in the frontcourt.

The glider was still defending him from the front, but the pressure from the side turned into a big dream.

It's not that Huo Li didn't make it to the frontcourt, but that Dameng hurried to the middle distance.

Faced with Lin Xing's threat of breaking the glider's single defense if he disagreed, Dameng had to stop in place and waved his long arms to help the glider block Lin Xing.

Lin Xing made a sudden stop and threw the ball straight away.

But this time, he wasn't shooting.

"Chris Gatlin went over the Rockets defense, he got a pass from Stanley, he was on the open..."

The commentary booth, shouted Matt Gutica.

Although Gatlin hasn't shot yet, he has already seen the goal scored.

Sure enough, even though Pete Chilkat tried hard to catch up, he still missed.

Gatlin jumped up energetically, and made a passionate dunk directly at the basket.

Clang!
55 to 56, the Warriors regained two points.

On the sidelines, Tang Shuai frowned.

He had a bad feeling, but the team's strategy was right.

Therefore, he chose to stand silently on the sidelines, pacing back and forth.

For the Rockets, the current wave of offense has become very important.

Whether they can get back the advantage at the end of the halftime depends on the result of this wave of offense.

There is no change from the previous offensive round, Dameng and Sam Cassel involved Lin Xing and Rodman.

The glider had another singles, but he still chose to break into the basket.

But the Warriors' defense was complete, and Longley's supplementary defense once again blocked the glider's shot.

To put it bluntly, Lin Xing and Rodman blocked Dameng and Sam Cassell on one side, relying on pure single defense.

Putting these four people aside, the remaining six people are actually three against three.

Three on three, the madman was passed, but there was still Langley's frame protection under the basket.

Either way, the Gliders have to face the Warriors' tight zone.

Clang!
As in the previous play, the glider's layup went wide of the basket again.

Gatlin grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lin Xing again.

The Rockets still stepped up to retreat, but this time, Lin Xing, who received the ball in the backcourt, was not in a hurry.

He pushed across half court without haste, and then handed the ball to the madman.

Because he knows that as long as he holds the ball, the Rockets' defense will immediately swarm.

Therefore, in this attack, he still had to start without the ball.

Soon, Lin Xing appeared at the waist, leaning against the glider with his back.

After that, he received a pass from the madman.

"Sta once again received the ball from the waist, and Robert Horry went straight to the defense, but Sda still made a shot!"

Turning over, a jumper shot with a slight back.

Both the glider and Horry reacted and jumped up to interfere.

But everyone still heard a swipe, and a clear sound of scraping the net. Lin Xing's goal still scored!

"It went in again, and Stan once again faced the double defense and made a mid-range shot!"

57 to 56, on the sidelines, Tang Shuai called a timeout without hesitation.

"The Rockets paused directly. Rudy's pause is called too early, isn't it?"

Although after the start of the second half, Lin Xing scored 4 points and 1 assist, leading the team to a 6-0 offensive climax.

But after all, it's only 6-0, and the Rockets haven't found their status yet. This timeout is somewhat extravagant.

On the sidelines, Tang Shuai didn't think so.

From the Warriors' three waves of offense and three rounds of defense, he saw the Warriors' changes in the second half and their true intentions.

"Clyde, cheer up, now the team needs you to stand up and score..."

After a pause, Tang Shuai stared at the glider and sprinkled chicken soup.

After that, start to adjust the defense.

"Obviously, the Warriors' offense right now is one move, Stalin sets up mid-range, catches the ball, and isolates.

I think our double-teaming could have been a little quicker..."

"Faster? Can it be so fast? We have already pinched him for the first time."

Horry, who had been implementing the strategy of pinching Lin Xing, scratched his head.

"Team him before he gets the pass!"

"Ah, isn't this a defensive violation?"

These days, the NBA doesn't allow zone defenses.

It is even more forbidden to implement pinch defense against people without the ball.

Therefore, Tang Shuai's adjustment seems to be unworkable.

But Tang Shuai told him: "Don't worry, just do as you want. If the referee blows, you just stay away from him and interfere with the Warriors' pass..."

Huo Li immediately understood that what Tang Shuai meant was to test the referee's penalty scale first.

If it is not very strict, then decisively play off-ball defense.

If it's strict, cut the Warriors off the ball.

Soon, the pause is over.

The Rockets' offense remained unchanged. Although the glider lost two goals in a row, Tang Shuai still chose to trust the glider.

Of course, the main reason is that Madman's defense is easier to break through than Lin Xing's defense.

Tang Shuai didn't pick his own players, but his opponents...

But with three fronts and three defenses, the Warriors are very disciplined in their defense.

The big lineup also played a role, with Gatlin sweeping the mid-range and Longley defending the basket.

Even occasionally, Lin Xing on one side would let go of Sam Cassell and go to help defend.

In the third singles, the glider chose to stand up against Gatlin's supplementary defense and made a mid-range shot.

Bang!

There was a heavy sound of basketball striking iron, and the glider hit three irons in a row.

On the sidelines, Tang Shuai frowned.

He already understood that the game glider was hopeless.

The glider can't be counted on, and the only thing the rocket can rely on is the big dream.

But first of all, what the Rockets have to face is the Warriors' counterattack.

In the Warriors' round, Lin Xing received the ball and increased his speed a little.

However, the purpose of the acceleration is only to force the Rockets to speed up and retreat. To a certain extent, this is also a consumption of the Rockets' physical energy.

In the frontcourt, Lin Xing still passed the ball to the madman first.

Then the glider was stuck with his waist and his back. The glider wanted to struggle, and his strength confrontation was excellent.

But compared to Lin Xing who can play five positions, it is a bit worse.

So, the glider was still stuck.

But then, Horry came up.

At this time, before the madman passed the ball to Lin Xing, the Rockets' defense was formed.

Lin Xing looked at this posture, it was the way the Pistons used to defend Danzi back then!

This is a proper defensive violation, but when the Pistons used this set to prevent Danzi early in those years, the referee didn't blow it at all.

Sometimes the rules and regulations of the league are shit.

But Lin Xing felt that with him around, these rules and regulations must play his role.

Of course, the most important reason is-

It is difficult for Lin Xing to connect the ball with the Rockets' defense.

Isn't that what it means to lock him up completely?
If the Rockets did not violate the rules, Lin Xing would admit it.

But now that the Rockets have made it clear that it is a defensive violation, he will never admit it!
"Defensive violation, ref, defensive violation, they double-team the off-ball player!"

On the court, Lin Xing raised his hands and shouted.

The referee, Dick Bavita, glanced at Lin Xing and sounded his whistle helplessly.

It is indeed a violation, and Lin Xing is a star player that the league focuses on.

This is a violation, you have to blow it!

For a defensive violation, the Rockets will be called a technical foul.

As for the ball, of course it still belongs to the Warriors.

So soon, Horry was charged with the technical foul.

When the Rockets were booed at home, Matt Gudica said:
"Teaming someone without the ball is indeed a defensive violation, and the referee blows it all right."

After that, Lin Xing stood on the free throw line and accurately hit the free throw for a technical foul.

58 to 56, the Warriors lead by 2 points.

After that, the Warriors sent a sideline ball, and Lin Xing stood at the waist again and stuck the glider.

He received a pass from the madman and made a turnaround jumper from the mid-range.

Bang!

"Another one came against the pinch, but this time it didn't go in!"

"It's only three things. Si Da has already entered two. It's normal for the third one not to enter."

On the field, Lin Xing shook his hand, but he didn't care.

Because he has the same understanding as Matt Gutica.

It is not normal for a mid-range shot against a pinch defense to hit every hit!

Dameng grabbed the rebound and it was the Rockets' turn to attack.

Tang Shuai no longer trusted the glider, the glider stopped receiving the ball, and the Rockets' offense became a duo between Dameng and Sam Cassell.

Of course, it is said that it is Errenzhuan, but it is actually a one-man show of Dameng.

Whether the Rockets' offense can find a direction depends entirely on whether Dameng can break through Lin Xing's defense.

"Head-on, a pick-and-roll attack, while Hakim received the ball, he faced Stalin!"

In the mid-range one-on-one singles, Dameng sat Lin Xing with his back.

He swayed to the left and turned to the right, but in the end, he turned around, took two steps, and continued walking inside.

Lin Xing saw through Dameng's intentions, followed by a lateral move, blocking the way between Dameng and the basket.

Dameng was blocked by Lin Xing, although the strength confrontation was still a little short.

However, Lin Xing's pair of big hands were not very secure, which made Dameng's already somewhat lame control luck more and more cramped.

He could only stop on the spot, and then turned his back again, leaning against Lin Xing.

Shake it to the left, to the right, but it is already doing useless work.

Because of this stop, Dameng has already joined the ball.

In the next step, all he can do, besides making a move, is to make a move.

The only difference is that the way of shooting is different.

Dameng swayed back and forth, and finally jumped up and made a jump shot.

But Lin Xing rushed forward and gave a solid interference.

With a bang, Dameng's CIC missed.

On the sidelines, Tang Shuai frowned and shook his head.

But what made him frown even more was the Warriors' offense in the next round.

Lin Xing was like copying and pasting, standing still at the waist, catching the ball, turning over and shooting a jumper.

This time, with a swish!
"Another mid-range shot against a two-man defense made a hit. Is this a case of Si Da?"

"In the second half, he has already made four consecutive mid-range shots against the double defense. He made three of the four shots. The efficiency is super high!"

"But the more important thing is the score."

"60 to 56, the Warriors lead by 4 points."

With the Rockets' offense, Dameng once again faced Lin Xing's defense.

This time, he was very straightforward and didn't go inside directly.

A dry pull on the spot, but with a bang, it hit!
This time it was Lin Xing's turn to frown——

"MD, I couldn't break through and stopped, but I made it in place. Dameng is lucky!"

With a difference of 2 points, the pressure returned to the Warriors.

No, to be precise, it's back to Lin Xing's side.

In the frontcourt, Lin Xing came up with a new trick.

He was still stuck in the waist position to catch the ball, but when he turned around, he suddenly added a retreat.

The glider reacted and took a step forward.

But Lin Xing retreated and retreated, and directly retreated beyond the three-point line.

"Double back, Si Da made another shot against the defense, this time it was a three-pointer!"

Swish!
There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and Lin Xing, who shot a three-pointer and then landed, waved his fist twice.

"63 to 58, the Warriors took another 5-point lead!"

"The pressure is on the Rockets' side again, they have to withstand the pressure!"

Matt Gudica was a little anxious, and in the Rockets' round, Dameng once faced Lin Xing's single defense.

It's okay to use this move in place, but use it twice in a row?
The golfer Gao Rudameng also knew that it was impossible for Lin Xing to be unprepared.

With Lin Xing's long arms and that terrifying single-defense awareness, as long as he takes a little precaution, he can't score this goal.

So this time, Dameng chose to hit the back from a high position, then turned over and took a retreat.

"A step-back jumper, Hakeem swayed away from Star!"

Swaying away is shaking away, but this retreat directly gave Dameng a withdrawal beyond the three-point line.

"This is a three-pointer, and Hakeem is going to return a three-pointer..."

He made a jumper from outside the three-point line, but it bang!
Three points of the big dream can be entered, but every time one is entered, it is deceived.

Counting on Dameng to score a three-pointer in the crucial battle of the Western Conference Finals?How lucky is that?
Lin Xing also defended the ball, and then the Warriors counterattacked again.

Lin Xing didn't fight back in the Warriors' counterattack rounds after grabbing rebounds.

This time, he suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the front field.

The Rocket retreated quickly with inertia, but was caught off guard by Lin Xing who suddenly accelerated.

So in the frontcourt, when Lin Xing made an emergency stop for a jump shot from outside the three-point line, the glider defending him couldn't react in time.

The glider just reached out to make amends, and did not interfere with Lin Xing at all.

Swish-!
The chasing three-pointer hit, 66 to 58.

The gap in the score was widened in an instant.

Turning back to the rocket's attack, Dameng took another step in.

An emergency stop made a shot, 66 to 60, and the Rockets got back 2 points.

But the Warriors' offense, Lin Xing was superb.

He took another mid-range shot against the pinch and hit it again.

The score stabilized for a round at first, and then opened up again.

In this way, in the third quarter, under Lin Xing's superb performance, the Warriors won the G6 battle!
