Chapter 230 Take away the fairy ball of the game
89:83
Although all the Rockets players were a little out of shape, they still opened up the score, but this is not good news for the Mavericks.

In the end, the Mavericks had no choice but to change their offensive strategy, allowing Dirk to act as the starting point of the offense and then organize the offense. In this way, Dirk also stood at the free throw line when he attacked.

I have to say that this change is still very useful. I have to praise Kidd's adaptability here. As the brain of the team, Kidd accurately judged the situation on the court.

Knowing that the Rockets' inside twin towers are strong defensively, Dirk will not be allowed to stand up and stand at the free throw line. In this way, the Mavericks' breakthrough ability will undoubtedly be liberated, because it doesn't matter if you have a strong basket protector inside.

After all, lack of experience!Kidd is very good at taking advantage of the Rockets' shortcomings to play, so the Mavericks finally stabilized the situation by relying on Dirk's mid-range shot and the players' breakthroughs.

First, the pick-and-roll cuts in, and Dirk easily passes the ball to Marion who cuts in because of his height. The latter catches the ball and attracts Hassan's attention, and then transfers the ball to Hai, who is pulled aside. wood.

The latter easily licked the basket and scored. In turn, the Rockets also made mistakes again and again. First, Harden was blocked from dribbling, and then the Mavericks made a fast break. But still no block success.

Then Xia Tian also made a mistake in dribbling. During the dribble, Xia Tian was double-teamed. Stevenson succeeded in stealing the ball when he made a pass error and was rushed out. Afterwards, Marion made a 3-for-2 attack. Dunk.

89:87
The score was forced to close again, the Rockets didn't dare to be careless, Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Xia Tian, ​​then gave Xia Tian a cover and ran to the bottom to receive Xia Tian's pass.

With a light touch, Harden watched Kidd being quickly pasted by Huang Fei, so Harden also successfully caused a three-point foul.

Harden made [-] of [-] shots from the free throw line. The rebound was taken by Marion. In turn, Dirk made a false fax shot and hit another goal. The score was still entangled.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, Adelman began to call a timeout. The score could not be opened. As a coach, Adelman was very depressed.

Obviously he had such a good advantage in the third quarter, but he was buried alive by Dragic, which made Adelman a little annoyed. Although Dragic had already run back to the locker room, Adelman’s resentment But it didn't lessen at all.

It would be great if we continued to use the main force at that time, so the double-digit advantage would not be tied so quickly!Reluctantly, when the players came back, Adelman hurriedly gathered them together, picked up the tactical board and started talking.

In fact, Adelman's tactics are also very simple. Isn't it because we have a lot of young people here, so Adelman adopted singles tactics, anyway, he just grabbed Kidd and played!
Although Kidd's defense is very good, but he can't stand his age!Anyway, it’s Harden after the summer. It’s worth mentioning the position that Adelman mentioned. Just in case, Adelman explained everyone’s position clearly. Direction to throw the ball!Anyway, make sure you don't make mistakes.

Then he replaced Battier when he was on the court. At this time, it is not very important to defend well!Adelman is waiting for mistakes!In this situation, whoever makes a mistake first will die first.

So considering Battier's physical strength, he replaced Lowry. Adelman still likes such a young man with body and shooting, and Kidd doesn't like to attack, so even if Lowry's defense is poor, it's fine. of.

After all, can you check Harden again?You must know that Harden has no problem defending the inside line with his weight, but it is really difficult to break through the defense frame. It is still to blame Harden's lateral movement is too slow.

But Lowry is different. Whether it's lateral speed or weight, Lowry can defend from position one to position five!Of course, Lowry's difference lies in his height. If he was taller, he might be another defensive champion.

The game restarts,
101:99
The Rockets had possession of the ball, and Lowry held the ball forward. After reaching the frontcourt, Xia Tian first came to cover. Under Xia Tian's cover, Kidd and Xia Tian were entangled together. After a while, Lowry pulled Marion away. Xia Tian formed the chance of dislocation.

Lowry passed the ball to Xia Tian and walked to the position of the tactical board. At this time, Yao Ming started to move when he saw the situation, and ran directly to the shooting position designated by Adelman.

As for Hassan, he ran to the top of the arc helplessly. Although Heywood was not completely pulled away by him, if Hassan's position really failed to score and pass the ball to Hassan Heywood in the summer, there was no way to stop him.

After stepping on the tentative step, Xia Tian began to observe Kidd's every move. As a player who doesn't like offense and loves defense, Kidd's defense is also famous in the first position.

Netizens even jokingly said that Kidd and Nash, one can't defend, and the other can't attack, but in turn, Nash's offense and Kidd's defense are also respected by people.

Withdrawing the tentative step, Xia Tian calmly dribbled the ball, continuous crossing steps, Kidd stood in place watching Xia Tian's performance, suddenly Xia Tian took a step across his right foot, the ball passed under his crotch, Xia Tian's right hand caught When he pulled the ball and made a change of direction, Kidd started to move at this moment, moving sideways a small step toward Xia Tian's right hand.

Although it was only a small step, it was enough for Xia Tian to go left. With the help of the rebound of the basketball, Xia Tian turned around and shifted the ball to the left-handed attacking route, then dribbled the ball with his left hand, and rushed in with an acceleration.

When Kidd saw Xia Tian's breakthrough, he quickly blocked it, but even at his peak, Kidd couldn't stop Xia Tian's impact, let alone now, so Xia Tian came to the inside with Kidd directly.

At this time, Heywood started to help defend, Xia Tian didn't slow down at all, he lowered his body gently, lowered his head, Xia Tian began to jump horizontally, jumping very low, everyone began to look worriedly at Xia Tian, ​​deeply afraid that the ball would Covered down.

But Xia Tian abruptly escaped Heywood's blocking range by relying on the tyrannical air suspension, and then the whole person leaned back to increase the air suspension time, and the right hand also lightly tossed the ball up.

"Oh!"

"Swish"

The sound of Xia Tian's landing and the sound of basketball slapping the net slowly sounded, and everyone stood up like crazy!This ball is really awesome!

"God! God! I absolutely saw God! My God, how did the ball escape in Xia Tian? It jumped so low, and it obviously lost its center of gravity when it was layup, my God! Although there is no stimulation from physical collisions! But this ball is not weaker than Jordan's mid-air change!" Barkley yelled crazily.

"Oh my god! Playing in the summer is really terrible! I don't know how hard he fell. It's fine if two people double-team him and don't make a foul, but he can still score like this. Is this God's way of playing? Maybe We shouldn't call him Liming, I think God is pretty good, so far Xia has shown us how many Gods operate!" Smith began to worship.

"Strong! My brother, only you can play such a layup! You are so handsome!" Harden pulled Xia Tian up and said.

Xia Tian also patted Harden's shoulder with a slight smile, "Okay, let's go back to defense."

The two began to return to defense, but at this time the Mavericks began to lose heart. After Xia Tian's astonishing layup, the Mavericks' morale was hit again. In the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks did not seize the opportunity, and finally they were defeated by the Rockets. Took away the game.

106:102 The Rockets won G1 with a slight advantage.

In this battle, Xia Tian scored a triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. This is Xia Tian's first triple-double in the playoffs, but this is definitely not the last.
