The older superstars of the NBA

Jeremy Lin's opener three-pointer seems to indicate the state of the Rockets, the rest of the first quarter, the Rockets can be said to bloom more.

James Harden scored consecutive singles and almost completely abused his defender Nick Young.

Dwight Howard on the inside also played at his best. Not only did he cap the Lakers twice, but he also suppressed Pau Gasol and grabbed several key rebounds.

In this situation, the Rockets quickly opened up the score, and the two sides scored 26 to 16 before the end of the first quarter.

The 10-point gap is not an exaggeration for the Lakers, but this is the first quarter, which makes many Lakers fans watching the live broadcast feel incredible.

Head coach Mike D'Antoni was also very depressed. After the loss in the first quarter, he tried to adjust the team lineup again.

Nick Young, as one of the few players with outstanding singles ability and good scoring ability, was not replaced. Instead, Kendall Marshall was replaced at the No. [-] position and replaced by Steve Nash.

"Steve, I trust your organizational skills!"

"You're a smart guy...so I need you to organize the ball...Nick, I want you to play with Steve...."

Head coach Mike D'Antoni made new arrangements.

Soon the second quarter will start.

The Lakers lineup has not changed much, and Steve Nash has become the new tactical initiator.On the Rockets side, James Harden took a break temporarily, and Dwight Howard was still protecting the rebound inside.

The game continues.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking. Steve Nash passed with the ball. Facing Jeremy Lin's defense, Steve Nash did not dare to take it lightly. Instead, he used his body to protect the basketball while making offensive gestures to his teammates.

After James Harden left the court, Nick Young's pressure suddenly dropped. When he saw Steve Nash organizing the team's attack, Nick Young immediately ran up to respond.

Seeing this, Steve Nash gestured for Nick Young to pick and roll, but Nick Young didn't know what to think. He watched Steve Nash indifferently, and didn't go up to help him pick and roll.

Steve Nash was also very helpless. Seeing that the tactics were difficult to launch, he could only give the ball to Nick Young who was open.

After winning the ball, Nick Young started the singles mode again.

He dribbled the basketball from the perimeter and made a sudden change of direction to the basket. He thought he could send the ball into the basket smoothly, but he was greeted by Dwight Howard with a big cap when he rushed into the penalty area. .

Snapped.

The basketball was sent flying directly.

The scene exclaimed.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the ball was still in the hands of the Lakers.

"Nick, what do you want to do?"

Steve Nash also took this opportunity to hurry up and communicate with Nick Young, "Dude, don't make such meaningless singles, I know you want to score, I can help you...but I need Can you understand your cooperation?"

Nick Yang didn't speak, his face was cold and he seemed a little unhappy to be accused, he just looked at other places and nodded.

The Lakers serve again.

Steve Nash received the ball, picked up the basketball, and made another pick-and-roll gesture. This time, Nick Young finally came.

As soon as he came up to pick and roll, Patrick Beverly in front of Steve Nash was immediately blocked.

Steve Nash didn't hesitate, and rushed towards the basket with the ball. Seeing him rushing into the penalty area, he attracted the defensive attention of the two Rockets players under the basket.

Just when Steve Nash thought his strategy was successful and planned to transfer the ball to the following Nick Young, Steve Nash was surprised to find that Nick Young did not execute the tactics, or in other words, did not have a tacit understanding Choose to follow up, but instead stand on the three-point line in the left bottom corner.

Snapped.

Steve Nash still passes the ball.

It wasn't that he wanted to pass, but that he was surrounded by two insiders and couldn't find a suitable shot. The other teammates were either not in good positions or were surrounded by defensive players, so he could only pass to Nick Young.

Nick Young, who received the basketball, looked confident. He raised the basketball without any hesitation, and threw it directly towards the basket.

boom.

After a while, the basketball bounced out of the basket.

There was mourning at the scene.

Nick Young also held his head in disbelief. The head coach Mike D'Antoni was standing in front of the team bench. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and then sat back in his seat. position.

Throughout the second quarter, Steve Nash was trying to cooperate with others, especially with Nick Young.

But in the end, the other players took a quarter to prove that they didn't have much tacit understanding with Steve Nash, and they were quite unfamiliar with Steve Nash's tactics.

call out.

The first half is over.

The Los Angeles Lakers played the Houston Rockets 57-41.

The 16-point gap made the balance of victory increasingly tilted towards the Houston Rockets.

In the first half, the Rockets' core performances were also very stable.

Dwight Howard scored 14 points and 11 rebounds, plus 4 blocked shots; James Harden scored 10 points, his playing time is not too much, but the efficiency is still quite good; The team's first point guard scored 11 points and sent 6 assists at the same time, which performed quite well.

This time, the pre-match battle between Jeremy Lin and Zhao Feiyang for "the strongest defender of the yellow race" has completely turned into a one-sided situation.

On the major sports forums in China, many fans also praised Jeremy Lin's performance.

"Shu Hao dares to fight and fight! The assist performance is also good, much better than Zhao Feiyang!"

"Not to mention whether Zhao Feiyang is strong or not, his tactical status is simply far behind that of Jeremy Lin. Now that he hasn't even played for a minute, what's the difference?"

"One is the starter, and the other is the substitute among the substitutes. Do you still count on Zhao Feiyang like this? Don't brag about him! Jeremy Lin is the real first defender of the yellow race!"

The public opinion outside the court is so, and Zhao Feiyang, who is resting in the Lakers locker room on the court, is also a little dissatisfied. He is suspicious of the arrangement of the head coach Mike D'Antoni. He has played so many wonderful performances before. No chance at all?

"Did you make a mistake?"

"Aren't my three-pointers accurate?"

"Nick Young doesn't replace him in so many singles? What does this guy have to do with Coach Mike?"

Just as Zhao Feiyang complained, the second half followed. After entering the field, head coach Mike D'Antoni finally set his sights on him.

"Zhao, take off your coat and warm up, you will play the second position in the third quarter!"
