Chapter 121 The Rocket Takes Off
The game continued, and Hassan, who played confidently, ran to the low post and asked for the ball again. Harden looked at Hassan's position and wanted to pass the ball, but found that the Magic's position intentionally or unintentionally cut off the connection between the two.

Harden had no choice but to beckon Hassan to come over and cover, hoping to pass the ball to Hassan by taking advantage of the opportunity to get off the screen quickly.

Hassan came over to cover, and the two stepped down at the same time. Of course, the defenders did not change. After all, it is unrealistic for Arenas to defend Hassan. After all, height represents justice.

So Arenas followed Harden closely, hoping to throw out to block his layup or steal his pass at the critical moment, but is Harden really that easy to steal or block shots?

The answer is of course no. Harden successfully assisted Hassan with a fake shot, and the sound of mine explosion resounded throughout the audience, and Hassan was already hanging on the basket.

56:46
The score was stretched to 1 points again, and there was still a full minute before the end of the second quarter, but it always felt that the Rockets played extremely easily.

The Magic attacked, Arenas reproduced a life-saving three-pointer, and came to the frontcourt to face Harden. The basketball fell into the basket steadily, which made the Magic's bench excited.

This was Arenas' fourth three-pointer in this game, and it was also the fourth time Arenas scored Harden in this game. Arenas' score also broke through one place and reached 12 points.

There are still 54 seconds in the time, Harden looked at Arenas unhappily and then began to stare at Xia Tian, ​​as if saying that he wants to come alone, Xia Tian can only nod to this.

Harden was in the position, and everyone opened up their positions tactfully, preparing to watch Harden's singles against Arenas. Of course, on the other hand, everyone also prepared for Harden's unsuccessful singles pass.

Seeing that Arenas Harden dribbled the ball in the crotch with a rhythm that he hadn't used for a long time, one crotch, two crotch, Harden suddenly broke through realistically. Arenas observed Harden's movement and also stepped back At the same time, he blocked his right hand to prevent Harden from breaking through with his left hand.

But no matter how realistic Harden's breakthrough is, it is impossible to make a real breakthrough. After Arenas took a step back, Harden also took a step back, and then made a three-pointer.

Seeing this, Arenas yelled in his heart that it was not good, but it was useless, the position was too open, even if Arenas jumped up and tried to interfere, it was unsuccessful.

"Swish"

The ball fell into the net, and Harden used his own actions to respond to what Arenas did to him in this game. Since you love Yanshe so much, then I can't be worse.

59:49
There are 35 seconds left before the end of halftime, and both sides have another attack.

The Magic's offensive Arenas steadily controlled the ball in his hands and retreated near the midfield. It seemed that he was not ready to attack, but that was good, at least the Magic would have enough time to play this attack.

With 12 seconds left in the shot clock, Anderson ran over to cover Arenas, and Arenas immediately ran towards Anderson, and Anderson disassembled and ran to the other side at a 45-degree angle when he saw that Arenas had run away. horn.

And Richardson, who just stabbed again, also made room for Anderson early. After a while, Scola ran after Anderson and defended him.

Seeing that the Rockets hadn't switched defenses just now, and Harden didn't follow for the time being, Arenas began to break through to the inside, preparing to attract double-teams to see if he could create opportunities for his teammates on the outside.

Sure enough, when Arenas broke through, Xia Tian ran over in good time to delay Arenas' breakthrough, but at this moment Bass started to run to the ground and then cut inside.

Seeing that Bass was unguarded, Arenas quickly passed a through ball to Bass's hands, and then Arenas ran beyond the three-point line, ready to see Bass's organization.

Bass wanted to break through with the ball, but when Arenas ran to the top of the arc, there was no one in front of him and the league passed it. Arenas looked at Bass's pass with surprise in his eyes.

But before Arenas praised him, Scola rushed over to defend Arenas, but Hassan left Anderson empty.

Arenas quickly passed it to Anderson, and Anderson made a three-pointer. With a crisp sound, the basketball successfully entered the net.

59:52
The Rockets' offense also pressed time, but Harden made a pass error in the last 3 seconds. The basketball was pressed by Anderson and Scola missed it and was cut off.

There are 2.4 seconds left before the basketball is broken, Arenas has already run across the midfield, Anderson passes a long pass to Arenas, Arenas has 1.6 seconds left to catch the ball, accelerates, and throws high.

59:54
Although Arenas also wanted to dunk just now, but looking at the time and his own speed, he still gave up such an idea. Fortunately, the ball successfully entered the net.

In the end, the Rockets came to the second half with a 5-point lead.

The game restarted, the Rockets all returned to the field, while the Magic only had Arenas and Howard on the field, and even Richardson, the sixth man of the year, was on the field for a rest.

As soon as the game started, the Rockets used the suppression of the lineup to severely suffer the Magic. The inside line Yao Ming infinitely singled against Warcraft, and the outside line Harden kept taking shots.

In less than 3 minutes, the Rockets used a wave of 12:0 attacks to stop the Magic. There was no way, even though Anderson, Richardson and others had a short rest time, they were still sent back to the field after the timeout ended.

This is the second strong team that was defeated by the Rockets in the third quarter. Counting the Celtics before, at this moment, the fire fans seem to really see hope and see the rocket take off!
Even the Xia family who was watching the live broadcast in China applauded happily, because Father Xia and Natsume returned to China early as New Year's Day was approaching, and did not continue to stay in Houston.

"Well done! As expected of our Xia family's seed, your second child has given birth to a good baby!" Mr. Xia said excitedly.

And Xia Weimin smiled shyly and said lightly, "No, it's because your genes are good, Dad, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with this kid."

"Haha, it's better for you to talk a little bit, you two learn from the second child, it's fine if one of you can't speak in the army, and you can't speak in the official career, boss, it's a shame, now you still want me to give you Set things right, what do you do as an official?" Old Man Xia looked at Xia Weiguo angrily, very angry.

Seeing this, Xia Weiguo had no choice but to respond with a smirk. After all, his son Xia Weiguo still knew his father's temper after being a son for so many years. "Dad, Dad, let's continue watching the game. The game is not over yet."

After Xia Weiguo changed the subject, Xia Xin seemed to have seen his uncle's embarrassment and helped Xia Weiguo say, "Yeah, Grandpa, let's continue watching the game. The summer game did well. It will definitely shock the whole world.”

After being told by his grandson, Xia Guomin stopped worrying about the matter just now, and instead concentrated on watching the game, but he was thinking about the next year's Olympic Games in his heart.

As Xia Xin said, the next year's Olympic Games may be a signal of the rise of Chinese basketball. With the combination of Xia Tian and Yao Ming, Xia Guomin does not believe that he will not be able to win the championship this time!
