Chapter 143 Xiao Hang's "Weakness"

Chapter 143 Xiao Hang's "Weakness"

Aldridge and Gasol are really easy to use.

The inside combination of Anthony and Capela couldn't withstand the impact of these two insiders. Within 2 minutes, Adelaide made 2 of 2, Gasol hit a 2+1 and scored 7 points. Although the number of rounds was small, but The success rate is high.

Although Xiao Hang is gone, Gay can still put some pressure on Ennis. Harden and Paul can only play singles. After the Spurs players have been trimmed, their defensive strength has returned to the same strength as before. The Rockets have difficulty shooting three-pointers. Woke up.

But at this time Paul stood up and refused to fight the same fierce battle as the previous one.

Facing Murray, first he dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row, swayed out half of his body, and made a mid-range shot near the free throw line.

Then he steals Adelaide, who is about to play back, and assists Harden with a fast break.

After Gasol hit, after calling Anthony's pick-and-roll, he made a three-pointer with 0.6 seconds of open time.

He scored DeRozan's iron rebound and assisted Capela to eat a cake.

A wave of 9-2 spurts was played out. Originally, the German coach wanted to maintain a 4-point lead, and then seized the opportunity to make a wave. Unexpectedly, Paul was in a hot state, so he started to fight first.

Popovich didn't call a timeout here, as long as there is another positional battle and Paul doesn't drive the players, it's fine.

Paul's wave was quickly extinguished. After he hit the iron twice in a row, the ball was handed over to Harden. During this period, the Spurs continued to attack inside, and Gasol hit Capela with ease.

Harden broke through the inside line successively and caused fouls by Adelaide and Gasol, temporarily controlling the situation, and the two sides began a tug-of-war.

At the 9th and a half minute of the second quarter, Popovich called a timeout, Xiao Hang and Poeltl reappeared, point guard Murray, shooting guard DeRozan, small forward Xiao Hang, power forward Alder center Poeltl , This will be the lineup of Popovich and the Rockets for the last 2 and a half minutes of the first half.

Xiao Hang came to control the ball, Poeltl came up to pick and roll, and at the same time Xiao Hang started to speed up, first an in&out was catching a throw, and Capela had no time to reach out.

Xiao Hang started to "confront" Harden to see who could control the game.

Harden continued to break through, with a rhythmic dribble, and DeRozan couldn't prevent it, and there was Capela's pick-and-roll, and the Spurs' tactics were actually to give up two-pointers.

Harden made an emergency stop jumper.

Xiao Hang also needs to change. Although Ennis's defense is good, Xiao Hang, who is in the state, really does not defend whenever he wants.

It's still the routine just now, and it's another throw. Xiao Hang has already calculated it, and he doesn't get too entangled with Capela when he goes inside. He makes a quick shot, at least a shot.

Of course, Xiao Hang's touch is still very soft, and there is a high probability of scoring a goal.

Harden started creeping here, 7 seconds after halftime, picked up the ball, dribbled one step forward, one step away from the three-point line, pulled it up and shot.

"Shua—" The basketball hit the net, although Xiao Hang and Harden did not face each other directly, it was better than a match, and the two fought at the last moment before halftime.

萧航4中3,拿下6分,哈登3中3,砍下7分。

Harden took the lead, and the Rockets entered the second half with a 57-50, 7-point advantage.

Popovich still did not adjust, and continued to play with this lineup in the second half. For the Rockets, Paul, Gordon, Green, PJ Tucker, and Nene appeared.

Zhou Qi, who is looking forward to in the live broadcast room of Goose News, will continue to be on the bench. Although Zhou Qi's number of appearances and playing time have increased this season, he averaged 6.8 minutes, 2.2 points and 3 rebounds per game, which is really at the end of the bench.

Playing against a strong team like the Spurs, there is only one possibility for Zhou Qi to get a chance to play. All the inside players are injured...

Nene is really quite old. He averaged 13 minutes per game and only 5 points per game. Compared with last season, his playing time was almost the same, and his scoring was 1.5 points less.

Nene became the breakthrough point for the Spurs here. Xiao Hang broke into the inside and scored 6 points in a row. Soon Nene was replaced, and Capela, who had not had a long rest, played again.

The Spurs have also made changes here. DeRozan Murray and others are off, and Mills, Gay, and Bertans are on.

Xiao Hang continued to take control and passed PJ Tucker. At this time, Green and Gordon quickly double-teamed.

The German coach took the lead in making tactical changes, but he didn't expect to be double-teamed by three people.

The German coach is here to gamble. He knows Xiao Hang's ability to handle the ball is very strong, and the team that double-teamed Xiao Hang in high school and college has never won a game.

But the German coach believes that it is because the players are not capable enough. Green, Gordon, and Tucker must be much better than those people in terms of ability and physical condition.

Both Gordon and Tucker are strong guys, and Green is also a physical guy with long arms and legs.

Xiao Hang was shocked, after all, he hadn't been double-teamed for a long time, and he was still an NBA-level double-teamer.
It can only be said that the other coaches were too cautious. Seeing that Xiao Hang had the ability to break the double-team since he was a child, he stopped double-teaming.

I didn't expect it to have a miraculous effect.

Xiao Hang's ball is dead and he can't get out!
Xiao Hang's eyes rolled wildly, trying to find an opening to pass the ball, but 3 pairs of 6 long arms can easily break through.

When Xiao Hang was paying attention to finding a hole, he heard a "pop".

Tucker made a move and directly pushed the ball out of Xiao Hang's hand.

Passed to Paul and went straight to the fast break.

Xiao Hang averaged very few turnovers per game, currently only 1.7 times, and this time he was forced to make a turnover is also the first time since he was in the NBA.

Paul's fast-break ball control was too stable. Facing an in&out with Mills, Gordon, who was outside the three-point line with a fake pass, finally ended a successful layup by himself.

The Rockets, who tasted the sweetness in the first double-team, can be said to be out of control, continue!
As long as Xiao Hang breaks through, the three of them will attack, and the movement speed of the three is not slow, even if it is passed out, they can make up for it very well.

The Spurs' offensive rhythm was blocked, and the Rockets played the Spurs' rhythm here, playing steadily.

Paul is in control, either making a mid-range shot himself, or running tactics to make the ball for others.

"Shua—" Xiao Hang actually missed someone, Tucker is such a gangster, he didn't waste the opportunity, and made a steady hit on the left baseline.

第三节还有2分50秒,火箭以79比68领先11分了。

The two sides came and went, and there were 2 minutes left when the time was up, Popovich called a timeout, and Xiao Hang was replaced.

"How about double-teaming at the NBA level?" Popovich didn't have any blame in his tone. He expected this. He felt that there would definitely be teams that would try to double-team Xiao Hang. After all, Xiao Hang's ability was too great. It’s a bug, the truth of the world comes from “trying it out.” De Shuai became the first person to eat crabs, and Xiao Hang’s “weakness” seemed to be caught just like that.

"Very powerful. Tucker and Gordon are very strong, and the three of them have long arms. When they are flanked, their vision is blocked. It is too uncomfortable." Xiao Hang reluctantly admitted the troubles that the double-teaming brought to him.

"How many games do you need to get used to?" Popovich believes that Xiao Hang is capable. After all, high school and college are not afraid of being double-teamed. Even if there is a big gap in strength, this kind of talent is brought into the blood.

"I double-teamed me this time, and I'm sure more and more teams will double-team me in the future. Next time I touch the Rockets, it should be completely fine."

Popovich calculated the time, and the next match happened to be the day before Christmas, so it was a big gift for the Rockets. However, Popovich nodded and signaled Xiao Hang was ok, and didn't say much, Popovich Veitch is "letting go" of this kind of talent because they know what they want, and it's not good to talk too much.
