Chapter 89 The Entangled Score

The Jazz re-attacked, Deron dribbled the ball near the midfield to delay the time, and Lowry also decisively switched defenses after exchanging eyes with Harden.

With 12 seconds left in the clock, Deron beckoned to Jefferson on the inside and asked him to come out to cover. Jefferson immediately ran to Harden's side to block him.

At this time, Deron began to speed up and break through. Hayward and Jefferson also accelerated at the same time as Deron. The three ran towards the inside from three directions.

The Rockets' defense tightened during this run, but just after the tightening, Deron passed the ball to Millsap at the three-point line. Millsap caught the ball and flicked it, but Yao Ming didn't jump up.

Millsap had no choice but to make a covert ground pass to Lagabel in the corner on the other side. There were still 4 seconds left when Lagabel received the ball.

After catching the ball and aiming at the basket, Lowry pounced on him, made a fake move to fly Lowry, and Galabel finally made a shot with two seconds left.

"Swish"

The melodious sound of entering the net came, flowing into the hearts of every Jazz player like a clear spring.

The goal was scored at the right time!

77:75
There are 21 seconds left!Even if the Rockets score in this way, the Jazz don't have to worry about the Rockets' advantage knocking them down in the fourth quarter.

But this kind of happiness didn't last long. Xia Tian stared at Hayward and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer. This three-pointer suddenly made the Jazz players feel cold again.

But even if they make it, it's only a five-point gap, and efforts can still be reversed in the fourth quarter!After the Jazz players left the field, they comforted themselves one by one.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides took the main players back from the beginning, and it seemed that they had no intention of using the substitutes to play for a while.

But think about it, if the Jazz want to chase points, they must use the main force + Hayward, and the Rockets can only use the main force if they want to end the game early and stabilize their advantage, so this situation is understandable.

The Rockets served the ball. After receiving the pass, Harden pushed against Deron, who was pressing in the front court, and then turned around and accelerated to bring the ball to the front court. Long, and then there is a CIC.

The CIC made a steady hit, and Xia Tian looked stunned. After all, this move was very familiar to Xia Tian, ​​and it was Harden's favorite move in his life.

Especially after Paul came, he also learned Harden's trick, and made full use of his big butt advantage, or it can be said that Tucker is the only one who can't do this trick among Houston's three giant buttocks.

"My God, Harden, you have really used your ass advantage to the extreme! But let me see if you will dare to stand up like this when facing Ibaka." Xia Tian said with a smirk.

After all, Ibaka's slack is known to the entire league!It's not an exaggeration to use a sentence to hang around the waist.

Looking back at the Jazz's fast break, Hayward's touch finally turned cold again, and he actually made a three-point shot from an open shot!Seeing this, the Rockets quickly launched a counterattack.

But I don't know if it's Hayward's influence, Xia Tian actually made an emergency stop and missed a jumper during the fast break!

The Rockets and the Jazz didn't go too far in the next 3 minutes. Maybe they really printed that sentence, blacksmithing is contagious. Since Hayward took the lead in blacksmithing, both sides have also started blacksmithing performances.

But where it starts, it will end. After the Rockets hit the iron again, the Jazz finally started to hit Hayward!Hayward hit a three-pointer after receiving a breakthrough from Deron at the top of the arc.

82:78
The Jazz once again narrowed the score.

"It looks like that guy has regained his touch. It's a bit difficult." Xia Tian frowned and said to Harden, but the implication was that we should change defenses.

But Harden is not stupid, he patted Xia Tian on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother, you can only rely on you for this difficult task. Anyway, I won't switch defenses. That guy looks weak, but he turns out to be very strong." Well, to be honest, I really don’t want to play against him.”

Xia Tian rolled his eyes, he didn't expect to be rejected before he could say anything, it's really sad.

Looking back, the Rockets still didn't find the touch. Harden still missed the mid-range shot with a step back. Jefferson seized the opportunity and directly took the rebound and threw it to the fast-down Hayward.

Hayward received the ball and began to speed up. Facing the empty Rockets inside, it was a gliding dunk. The Jazz's home court was excited again, and everyone began to shout Hayward's name.

It seems that Hayward has been recognized by them!
But yes, Hayward has scored 39 points in this game, and he is only one point away from getting 40!Among the 10 rookies, apart from the summer, Hayward may become the second person to score [-] points.

During the performance of this game, Hayward has already conquered the energy solution arena. Not to mention all the fans at the scene, at least most of them have become fans of Hayward.

82:80
Rockets attack, Xia Tian holds the ball and prepares for singles, Hayward looked at Xia Xia with a face of joking, "How do you think I performed? I will win the game today."

Hayward's words are full of self-confidence, but Xia Tian curled his lips and poured cold water on Hayward.

"That's it, just 40 points is enough? You know that my highest score is something you look up to."

"I will surpass you!"

"Wait and see."

The eyes of the two shot out a flame, and Xia Tian began to dribble the ball quickly.

Break through, pull back, change direction and break through again!
Under Xia Tian's consistent speed, Hayward directly lost his defensive position. Xia Tian broke in and was not ready to attack the basket. The distance between Hayward and Hayward was an emergency stop jumper.

84:80
"Defense, you're still too young, buddy." After saying that, Xia Tian ran back to the backcourt with the wind on his feet.

"Don't be complacent! Xia!" Hayward slowly followed Xia Tian.

After 6 minutes of the game, the scores of the two sides were still entangled, but it didn't take long for Yao Ming to yell at the free throw line while looking at the inside line, "Summer! Make up defense! Make up defense!"

But Xia Tian was still a step too late. In the end, he only stomped his feet remorsefully behind Jefferson because he didn't cooperate well with Yao Ming just now.

Hayward successfully broke through the ball, and Jefferson succeeded in quickly hitting no one. This is all Xia Tian's fault, so Xia Tian regretted it so much, not to mention that there are only 2 minutes left now!
104:103
After Jefferson dunked the ball, the score was pulled back to one point by the Jazz, and for this dunk, Adelman finally couldn't help calling a timeout.

During the timeout, Adelman mainly talked about defense, but he didn't mention a word about offense, because there are not many players on the court who can read the game.

Harden has one, Yao Ming has one, so Adelman will focus on defense. The Rockets have no problem with their offense in these 6 minutes, but the loopholes in defense are too big.

Although Hayward only scored 6 points in these 4 minutes, he had as many as 4 assists!And if Hayward doesn't shoot, you dare not let him go, which is really aggrieved.

"It would be great if Battier was here." Adelman looked at Xia Tian and couldn't help thinking.

After all, everything is good in summer, but this defense has never been practiced. If Battier is here, he can also limit Hayward's shooting. You must know that Battier is a good shot defense.

It's a pity that Battier won't be able to come back until two games later, so I can only think about it now.
