Chapter 67 Meeting Mavericks Again
After winning eight consecutive victories, the Rockets seemed to have encountered a low ebb again, and came a wave of three consecutive losses, but this time the losing streak really does not blame Xia Tian and Harden.

The reason for the losing streak is also very simple, because of injuries.

The word injury may be the word that all professional players hate to see the most. Players like the four major shooting guards, Wade, and Huang Mamba are all ruined by injuries.

So the word injury is simply the ultimate horror for professional players!
But now this ultimate terror fell on the Rockets. Because of the scarcity of the small forward position, the Rockets have always been rotated by Battier and Xia Tian.

And Battier is not young anymore, he has to play more than 30 minutes in each game, which makes him very tired. Under this kind of fatigue, Battier finally couldn't hold on to the injury.

But the good news is that Battier is only injured, so he will be able to return to the game in a month, but even though it is only a month, it makes the Rockets feel uncomfortable, because there is no one at the small forward position!

The Rockets' backup defense at position [-], except for Battier, was really poor, and they couldn't keep the score.

Because of this, the Rockets once again experienced a losing streak, and then the Rockets rushed back to the home court after the three-game losing streak, because the Rockets will welcome guests from afar at home in the next game!
Dallas Mavericks!
The only team in history that proved that shooting can also win the championship!

With much anticipation, the time finally came to the day of the game, and the United Center was once again full of people on this day, probably because of the Texas Civil War.

Maybe it's because the game was televised across the U.S. Anyway, the United Center is finally full again for the regular season.

At the beginning of the game, Chandler and Yao Ming stood on both sides of the midfield. As the basketball flew high, the two took off at the same time, but in the end, the Mavericks definitely got the ball.

Marion received the basketball that flew over, handed it to Terry, and ran to the frontcourt.

Terry was not in a hurry to make a quick break after catching the ball. Instead, he slowly came to Harden's side. Seeing Harden Terry, he began to spout trash talk. This is Terry's habit.

Shooting the top bird, Xia Tian and Harden were considered to be in the limelight during this time. As a veteran Terry, he was naturally a little bit embarrassed, let alone the Rockets took away the victory at home in the last game.

"Harden, look at your beard, it's really dirty, just like the hair underneath, isn't it disgusting to you?"

"Shut up! The most annoying thing every time is confronting you. Talking is like spraying dung, which makes people almost suffocate!"

"You!" Terry looked at Harden angrily, a sophomore rookie dared to talk back to him!
"Harden! I will throw this ball on your head! Just wait for me!"

Harden suddenly stood up straight, condescendingly contempt Terry "If you think you can do it, you can come, last season you didn't tell me that the NBA welcomes you, this game is the same, understand? "

Seeing Harden's condescending look, Terry began to feel upset!I must score Harden a goal, definitely!Terry's anger began to burn.

The teammates around him also disappeared in his eyes. He dribbled the ball quickly, changed directions, turned around, and Terry used all kinds of dribbling skills endlessly, dazzled the audience around him.

But although Terry was dazzled and impeccable in the eyes of the audience, he was full of flaws in Harden's eyes!As a man who is best at rhythm dribbling.

Harden said that your ball is too rhythmic!Let me teach you!Then, taking advantage of Terry's inattention, Harden swooped out and cut off the ball.

After stealing the basketball, Harden didn't rush to make a fast break, but slowly dribbled to the frontcourt, and began a rhythmic dribble under the crotch.

"Are you humiliating me! Rookie!" Terry roared angrily when he saw Harden's actions. Instead of making a fast break for the steal, he signaled his teammates to open the singles. Isn't this a naked humiliation!
"That's right, old bird, just to humiliate you, why not!" Harden responded cheaply.

And Terry stopped talking, because the sentence just now was all in Chinese!Terry said that he did not understand a word!

En. Yes, this is also taught by Xia Tian. After all, who else is the Rockets besides Xia Tian?

Dribble, dribble, dribble.

Harden's offense is like this, non-stop dribbling, non-stop fake moves, and then seize the opportunity to score a layup with his body. This is Harden's breakthrough.

"Fuck! Why is the whole body full of fake moves! How do you prevent this!" Terry's heart was about to collapse. It's not like he hasn't seen fake moves before, but every move is fake and so rhythmic. See you for the first time!
Terry is very anxious, but Harden is very comfortable watching Terry's frowning look, let you talk trash, now you know how good I am!

Then Harden stopped playing. After all, Terry's body is really too weak for Harden, and Harden can crush it with only a little gap, so Harden started crushing it.

The right hand quietly pushed Terry, and then directly broke through and made a layup!
2:0
Harden scored the first score for the Rockets.

On the way back to defense, Harden deliberately passed by Terry, and said meanly, "Old bird, welcome to the Rockets' home court."

"Fuck!" Terry cursed secretly, and ran back to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, Terry was about to advance, but Nowitzki ran to his side and looked at him worriedly.

"Old man, are you okay, why does it feel like you have a festival with Harden?"

Terry shook his head when he heard the old driver's comfort, "It's okay, I'm just a rookie, I will definitely step him down!"

"Old man, don't overturn the boat. The two rookies of the Rockets are not easy. Although one is a rookie and the other is a second-year pick, one dares to score against Kobe, and the other averages 12 assists per game, which is much better than Griffin of the Clippers. Already."

"It's okay, just watch it! I will definitely teach them a lesson, they are so arrogant!"

"Well, you can do whatever you want, but what we need is victory, don't be angry, and let us know if it doesn't work."

After Dirk finished speaking, he walked towards the sideline. It seemed that he was going to open space for Terry to play, and the rest of the Mavericks also opened space after seeing Dirk's gesture.

Seeing what Dirk did, Terry felt warm in his heart, so Terry stared hard at Harden again!This goal must be scored!

Facing Harden, Terry's advantage may only be flexibility, so Terry began to make a few changes with his flexible steps. Although the changes did not shake Harden, there was still room for a breakthrough .

breakthrough!Killing to the inside, Harden didn't keep up!good chance!

Terry looked at the emptiness inside and rushed in without thinking, ready to dunk to show off, and then he can mock Harden after the dunk!
Thinking about Terry, he was very excited, but when he took off, someone jumped behind him!
A huge black shadow enveloped Terry, and a long hand covered the basketball in his hand.

"Crack." Terry fell to the ground in response.

On the other side, Xia Tian landed with both feet and grabbed the ball with one hand.

Just now it was not a cap but a cap grab!

The atmosphere of the audience began to boil, the Mavericks began to retreat, and the Rockets started a fast break, but Xia Tian did not pass the ball, but patted the ball on the spot, and looked at Terry who stood up jokingly.

"I heard that you look down on us rookies?" Xia Tian's eyes gradually became provocative, "Then do you look down on us now?"

"Hmph!" Terry ran back to the backcourt without saying a word. After all, it was too embarrassing.

As for why Harden didn't pursue the defense just now, it was actually because Harden and Xia Tian had discussed it. If Terry breaks through Xia Tian and directly switches defenses, Harden will defend Marion.

Xia Tian went to block Terry, as for why he did it, it was because Harden felt that if Xia Tian blocked the shot, the effect should be better than his blocking, so the scene just happened.
