Chapter 71
Speaking of Peja, many people should be familiar with it. As a figure of the 96 golden generation, Peja's career is not bad. He has won two All-Star three-point contest championships.

And won No.2004 in the 4 MVP voting and entered the best second team. If Allen is the best shooter in the 96 generation, then Peja is the second best shooter in the 96 generation.

But Peja's play did not bring good changes to the Mavericks. Instead, he was singled by Yao Ming because of his old age and weakness. In just 5 minutes, Yao Ming scored 12 points on Peja's head.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led the Mavericks by 9 points relying on Yao Ming.

28:19
At the beginning of the second quarter, Adelman made some adjustments to the lineup. Yao Ming Dragic was off, Harden was on the field in the summer, Hayes played the 5th position, and Hassan played the 4th position.

This adjustment of Adelman also wants to see if the effect is good. The season is still long, and there is no big fish to fish in the trading market now, so Adelman can only try his best to see how to match the existing players for the most effect.

The current four small and one big lineup is also Adelman's idea. Anyway, the ranking is now high, and it is almost a sure thing to enter the playoffs, but if they want to win the championship, they are still close.

The Mavericks also replaced Dirk and Kidd, and Peja naturally went down. Although Peja is still shooting well, but for this defense, the Mavericks coach can only put Dirk on the field.

Terry also left, because with Harden in the summer, Claire didn't dare to take too many risks. Terry was good at everything but he was too short and couldn't defend well. He was even worse than Kidd.

The game restarted, the Rockets had the ball, Hassan passed the ball to Harden, Harden patted the ball to Lowry, and Lowry slowly advanced with the ball, as if he was not in a hurry.

"Lowry, I'll do the pick-and-roll for you later, and then you attack. If Marion and Kidd switch defenses, give me the ball and I'll play." Xia Tian ran to Lowry's side and said something softly before walking away up.

Then when Lowry came to the top of the arc, Xia Tian decisively made a pick-and-roll for Lowry. Lowry used the pick-and-roll to kill towards the inside, and the Mavericks also switched defenses as Xia Tian said.

After entering the free throw line, Lowry decisively passed the ball to Xia Tian, ​​and then ran to the bottom corner. Xia Tian took the ball and faced all of Kidd and began to open up space.

Xia Tian tried a few tentative steps first, and when he found that Kidd was only a symbolic defense, Xia Tian directly went to the right to break through. Until now, all teams in the league have not studied which side of Xia Tian has the highest breakthrough success rate. high.

So many people will take a few steps back when defending Xia Tian, ​​and they don't deliberately let Xia Tian go which way. In this way, although Xia Tian's breakthrough will be a bit difficult, it is extremely easy to break through regardless of the right or left.

Breaking through, after pulling away from Kidd's position, Xia Tian immediately stopped the jumper, shot, and the ball scored.

30:19
The Rockets finally lead the Mavericks by double digits, but this does not allow the Rockets to take it lightly. After all, the Mavericks' lineup is still there except for Terry and Chandler.

The Mavericks also found Dirk after Yao Ming went down. Dirk only scored six points in the first quarter, which was not too high. Because of Yao Ming's defense, he took few shots.

After Dirk cut inside, Kidd passed the ball to Dirk with a lob. Dirk quickly came to the basket after receiving the ball, and then a fake move sent Hassan flying back to the defense. High jump dunk hit.

On the Rockets side, Lowry dribbled the ball through the midfield and passed it to Xia Tian. Xia Tian did not hesitate to catch the ball. Facing Marion, Xia Tian chose to break through after continuous dribbling.

After breaking through and entering the three-point line, Xia Tian began to play tricks. With a bad luck, he turned around and directly opened the distance with Marion, but Marion's speed and defense were not bad.

So it was defended again in just a split second, and at this time Xia Tian suddenly made a change of direction. Looking at the change of direction, it should be that he wanted to go to the right. Marion stepped back a little, and applied defense to his left hand side.

But Xia Tian didn't make a breakthrough, but took a pull-up jumper after changing direction. Xia Tian's pull-up wasn't very good-looking, but the height of the jump was there.

Therefore, even if Marion who retreated a little wanted to defend again, it would be too late. Facing Xia Tian's dry height, Marion couldn't even cover his eyes.

"Shh."

After another shot, the Rockets led again by [-] points.

"That kid's shot is a little bit accurate, Sean (Marion), if he takes another shot later, he will foul, see if he can lose his sense, be tough! You can't let him score easily like this again." Kidd walked away Said over Marion.

"Well, I know!" Marion said fiercely, as if preparing to teach Xia Tian a lesson, a tough lesson.

The Mavericks served the ball, and Dirk once again ran into the paint relying on the pick-and-roll and rich experience. Although Hassan started to catch up, it was still a step too late. Dirk also made another dunk at the basket.

Xia Tian ran over and picked up the ball and threw it directly to Hassan. Hassan retreated out of bounds and gave the ball to Xia Tian.

opportunity!

Xia Tian's eyes shone with light, and he dribbled the ball directly to the Mavericks' basket. When Xia Tian ran to the three-point line, the two insiders of the Mavericks just ran to the three-point line.

exceeded!
Xia Tian surpassed Dirk and Brandon Heywood directly by virtue of own speed, but at this time inside only Kidd and Barea two people, as for Marion has come to Xia Tian's body.

Turning around, pulling back, bowing to Buddha, Xia Tian's series of operations directly passed Marion, and then performed the European step to pass Kidd, carrying the last Barea for a layup.

"Drip."

"Shh."

The basketball hit the net and the whistle sounded at the same time. Xia Tian's dragon not only succeeded, but also caused Barea's foul.

2 + 1
Xia Tian who was lying on the ground tightly clenched his fists, his face was a little excited, because the ball just now, Xia Tian was completely sure to enter the top ten goals, after all, one person singled out one team, and finally scored 2+1, Are you excited?

And before Xia Tian's excitement passed, Harden ran over and pulled him up, then patted his ass.

"Awesome, my Xia, you scored 2 points in [-] minutes, why is your hand so hot?" Harden looked at his hand suspiciously, but there was no fire coming out of it.

"What are you looking at." Xia Tian withdrew his hand, and the two men tugged and tugged in such a dignified way, "I think I have a super touch today, give me the ball later, I want to shoot infinitely."

"Well, OK, it's the first time I heard you take the initiative to open fire infinitely. It seems that you feel really hot today. Do you have the confidence to break the record?" Harden asked again.

And the record he was talking about was naturally also the career high of 52 points scored by Xia Tian when he played against the Bulls last time.

"Maybe I can get 6 or 70 points today. I've got 13 points now. It's only been 3 minutes in the second quarter. I have a chance." Xia Tian said confidently.

Of course, what Xia Tian said was not some arrogant words, but he could feel that he seemed to be in good condition today, so he wanted to try.

"That's fine, you'll handle the ball later, we'll all listen to you." Harden nodded and said.

To be honest, this is also the first time he has seen Xia Tian so confident. You must know that in the previous Xia Xia, except for that time with Kobe, he almost never used this unlimited firepower.

"En." Xia Tian stepped onto the free throw line with a reply, ready to start free throws.
