The world of basketball

Chapter 104 Two Super Sixes on the Bar
In the last game, the Rockets lost more to their five small lineups. The main reasons for their loss were the lack of offensive three-pointers, the limited defensive end and the inability to protect rebounds.

Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Mudiay from a high position, and then Zhou Qi made up in time after Mu Xiaobei made an outside cut, and then Mu Xiaobei handed the ball to Kuzma who was coming over.

Zhou Qi and Ennis formed a defense switch, Mu Xiaobei immediately cut inside, Capela shrank his defense, and Mu Xiaobei faced Capela with a lob and scored.

"Mu Xiaobei is really good at scoring goals like this sometimes. He is already so tall, but he still likes to choose high shots, like the hook and high throw." Wang Meng said.

"Indeed, generally speaking, guards prefer high throws. When we think of throws, the first thing we think of is Tony Parker's small throws, which are very accurate and have a high release point." Su Qun said.

"Rotate faster!" D'Antoni shouted from the sidelines. He is actually not a coach who likes to shout from the sidelines, but there are a lot of temporary adjustments in this game. In many places, he has to shape the players in time.

Paul and Capela played a pick-and-roll, Capela cut inside, Paul gave some lead with a high toss, and after Capela received the ball, Mu Xiaobei was naturally behind Capela.

But at this time Adelaide was already standing under the basket, but as if he had rehearsed in advance, Capela began to distribute the ball to Zhou Qi who was emptied in the bottom corner when Adelaide went to the basket to help defend.

After Zhou Qi caught the ball, he pulled it up and shot. The ball crossed a beautiful arc, and Zhou Qi hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

"Mum, you should go to the bottom corner to help LaMarcus defend Zhou when you are out of position. You should have been earlier." Popovich shouted.

Zhou Qi's three-pointer stability is indeed better than Tucker, and Zhou Qi can also do a better job of protecting rebounds.

Mu Xiaobei patted his chest, indicating that he understood.

Mu Xiaobei and Kuzma made a cross screen. After the screen, Mu Xiaobei looked at the basket and cut, and Kuzma rushed out of the arc top three-point line.

Kuzma passed the ball to Kuzma, and Kuzma made a high toss from outside the three-point line. Mu Xiaobei jumped high and grabbed the ball through Ennis and smashed it into the basket.

Boom——

Mu Xiaobei blew up the atmosphere of the audience with an alley-oop.

Although it doesn't matter if you don't count Duncan or Xiaoka, they are all people who like to keep a low profile, but whoever likes basketball doesn't like this kind of dunking, **** ball?
The rhythm of the game between the two sides seems to have returned to the second game. The Rockets' touch has returned to normal, and the Spurs' defensive counterattack is a bit difficult.

And the Spurs' positional offense has also been restored, so the two teams have been able to bite to death on the point difference.

Five minutes into the first quarter, the Rockets finally took Tucker and Gordon, replacing Paul and Capela.

This time it was the inside combination of Tucker and Zhou Qi, but the Spurs took Adlonie Walker and Mudiay and replaced them with Guy Bullock and Jeremy Lin.

The Spurs improved their outside shooting ability and replaced them with players with stronger shooting ability.

Harden took the ball and called Zhou Qi to pick and roll.

As the boss of the team, Harden took great care of Zhou Qi. He not only publicly praised Zhou Qi in many public occasions, but also helped Zhou Qi pass a lot of good balls in the preseason and gave Zhou Qi many opportunities to perform. .

The pick-and-roll between Zhou Qi and Harden, who returned to the Rockets, has gradually become the new pick-and-roll combination of the Rockets. Compared with Capela, Zhou Qi's impact is not weak, but his outside range is Capela. Pull does not have.

This allows Harden and Zhou Qi to have more and better choices for the pick-and-roll cooperation, and it also makes the pick-and-roll play between the two more possibilities.

Harden went left as usual, Zhou Qi cut outside the top of the arc, but Mu Xiaobei and Bullock had already formed a defense switch.

Harden pushed against Mu Xiaobei, and Mu Xiaobei raised his arms high and did not choose to strike. He knew that once he lowered his hands a little, Harden would raise his hand and let Mu Xiaobei's hand hit Harden. hands.

Then the referee blows his whistle and Harden gets two free throws.

Seeing that the rookie was not fooled by him, Harden was a little surprised, then dribbled back and pulled back, then kicked his right foot back, and then took off to shoot.

Harden's step-back jumper is relatively rare in the arena.

Swah——

The ball brushes the net, um, three non-sticks.

It's a bit embarrassing, I don't know if Harden hasn't used this trick for a long time, and he is a little rusty, and he even voted for three non-sticks, but this shows that Mu Xiaobei's big defense and small defense have succeeded again this time.

In fact, in this series, Mu Xiaobei's big defense was very good. Whether it was defending Harden or Paul, Mu Xiaobei's defensive efficiency was good.

Of course, these two were once masters of the step-back mid-range, and the other was a master of the fadeaway jumper moving across the free throw line, but under D'Antoni, their two killers are basically useless.

This also subtracted one item from Mu Xiaobei's defensive options, and naturally the defensive pressure was also reduced.

Mu Xiaobei had his back against Ennis, this was a misalignment, Jeremy Lin immediately passed the ball over, Mu Xiaobei turned around after receiving the ball with his back on his back, and blocked Ennis' body that Ennis wanted to make up with a flick of his arm.

Then, Mu Xiaobei made a low layup.

Well, if you can layup, try not to dunk. When there are defenders in front of you, dunking can actually improve your shooting rate. You have to dunk blue. After all, dunking is so tiring. You must learn to save energy on the stage of the playoffs.

Harden held the ball at the top of the arc, Gordon followed Zhou Qi's pick-and-roll, and Mu Xiaobei's defense was a step slower. Gordon caught the ball from outside the three-point line and shot directly against Mu Xiaobei's defense.

Swah——

Three points hollow into the net.

"Strike Gordon, this kind of shot is already Gordon's regular choice of shots. This three-point shot is really horizontal." Wang Meng said.

"Their entire team, Harden, Paul Gordon, Anthony Tuckon, Knight, and Gerald Green, no matter who is shooting three-pointers, it doesn't matter how far they are from the three-point line, whether there is a defender in front of them or not. , If you feel it coming, just shoot." Su Qun said.

After Jeremy Lin took advantage of Mu Xiaobei's pick-and-roll, he came out delayed and made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.

shhhhh--

Jeremy Lin also made a three-pointer.

Gordon came out again, and made a shot from outside the three-point line.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball, stepped outside the three-point line to face Gordon's defense, and made a three-pointer with a cold arrow.

Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin, and Eric Gordon, the bench gangsters of these two teams, the Super Sixth Man, actually used this to put them on the bar.
