After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

In the past second quarter of the game, the confrontation between Su Jiuyun and Harden became the main theme of the game, which can be said to have made the audience hooked.

Especially Su Jiuyun's tough style made the man's blood boil.

The score difference at halftime was not big, and everyone was looking forward to a more intense game in the second half.

The ESPN commentators responsible for broadcasting this game are Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen are also discussing.

"Jeff, the Mavericks relied on Su to survive the first half. This is my first game commentating on Su. I really appreciate his toughness!

Do you think he can still hold up the Mavericks' offense in the second half? "

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said:

"It's difficult. Su's performance in his rookie season was already at a historical level, but he still has many shortcomings.

For example, his shooting ability, his ball-handling skills and so on!

Without these assists, it would be difficult for him to support the Mavericks' offense throughout the game. After all, no one knows whether Nowitzki can start in the second half.

What's more, after Su came on the court in the second quarter, he shouldered the important task of defending James Harden. It can be said that the tasks on both ends of the offense and defense are very heavy.

I feel a little sorry for him. A rookie has to bear such a big game task. I don’t know what Rick Carlisle is thinking!

As a rookie, his physical reserves and experience cannot allow him to maintain his physical fitness for the entire game in such a high-intensity task.

If you watched the game carefully, you would have noticed that Su's physical fitness dropped significantly.

So Nowitzki didn't regain his form in the second half, so it would be difficult for the Mavericks to win this game! "

While Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy were discussing, Carlisle laid out the final tactics in the Mavericks locker room.

"Su, you don't have to guard James Harden in the second half, just put all your energy into offense."

This time Su Jiuyun didn't insist, because he knew that he couldn't hold on physically.

The reason why I took the initiative to defend Harden in the second quarter was to bring the point difference back a little and give Nowitzki and others time to regain their form.

The intermission ended quickly and the second half began, and everyone who followed the game hoped that the second half would be as exciting as the first.

However, the Rockets gave the Mavericks a disastrous start in the second half.

First, Harden made a series of crotch dribbles, then stepped back and hit a three-point shot.

Su Jiuyun gave the ball to Nowitzki and let Nowitzki play, allowing him to get back to form as soon as possible.

But the final mid-range shot still came out of the frame.

Harden grabbed the backboard and pushed forward, making another successful breakthrough. After attracting double-teams, Harden passed the ball to Parsons.

Parsons made a solid three-pointer.

In just two rounds, the Rockets expanded the point difference to double digits.

Su Jiuyun took a deep breath and decided to do it by himself.

After using the pick-and-roll to break through and get inside, he just threw himself into the sky regardless of it.

Then, relying on the small motor ability of his waist and abdomen, he pulled the lever to the extreme, barely avoided Asik's block, and hit a layup.

After landing, he failed to stand firm and fell directly off the baseline.

Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help but admire:

"Beautiful, this ball made me see the shadow of Derrick Rose. It's too difficult. It's not good for the Mavericks to rely so much on Su's offense."

After the ball was scored, the Rockets quickly served. Before Su Jiuyun could come back, Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer.

Three consecutive three-pointers completely widened the score. No matter how hard Su Jiuyun tried, he just couldn't get the difference back.

Nowitzki once again threw his hands away in frustration, and a wide-open 3-pointer bounced out of the basket again. This was already the fourth three-pointer he had missed in this game.

It should be said that so far in this game, he has made 3 of 4 0-pointers.

When there were 2 minutes left in this quarter, Su Jiuyun's physical fitness declined seriously, and he failed to hit two consecutive attacks.

In turn, the Rockets relied on Parsons, the wealthy coach who broke out in this quarter, to finally reduce the point difference between the two teams to 20 points.

When the third quarter ended, the Mavericks were already 3 points behind.

In the third quarter, the Rockets had a 3:40 offensive climax.

Su Jiuyun sat on the bench, panting heavily. The rise and fall of his chest showed that he was exhausted.

Nowitzki patted Su Jiuyun on the shoulder and said:

"Su, you did a great job. My problem is that I didn't find the offensive feeling."

Su Jiuyun raised his head and looked at Nowitzki, smiling and saying:

"Dirk, come on, you must have done too many inappropriate things last night. Hey, let's just do them back in the next game!"

Carlisle did not play the starting lineup in the fourth quarter because the score difference was too big.

At the end of the game, the Mavericks were defeated by the Houston Rockets at home, 103:130.

本场比赛苏九云22投13中，八罚六中，得到32分6个助攻6个篮板。

得分第二高的居然是替补的梅奥，他全场13投8中，3分球5投3中，罚球4罚三中，到22分4个助攻。

Nowitzki made 10 of 2 shots in the game and only scored 8 points and 4 rebounds including free throws.

Carter scored 8 points on 4-of-12 shooting.

For the Rockets, Chandler Parsons actually shot 13 of 12 from the field, 7 of 6 three-pointers, and two free throws, scoring 32 points.

Among them, I scored 3 points in the third quarter.

哈登全场18投7中，3分球7投3中，罚球九罚七中，达到24分7个助攻。

Jeremy Lin scored 17 points and 8 assists in this game, but most of his points were scored when Su Jiuyun was not guarding him.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Harden came to Su Jiuyun with a smile and said:

"Su, look at how arrogant you are. If I hadn't been merciful, I would have killed you for 50 points in this game."

Uh......

Su Jiuyun stopped talking. He shrugged and said:

"It doesn't matter if you win one game, you are still outside the playoff zone anyway!

Tsk tsk tsk, it’s so shameful that you, a team boss, didn’t lead the team into the playoffs. You’re not as good as me, a rookie! "

Damn...

Harden immediately became angry, but without giving him a chance to fire, Su Jiuyun had already escaped.

In the ESPN live broadcast room, Mike Breen made the final summary.

“At the end of the game, the Mavericks lost, but we saw a rising star, Su from the Mavericks. As a rookie, his performance in his rookie season was historic.

I believe that as long as he makes up for his shortcomings, he will definitely be a superstar player in this league in the future.

The Rockets' James Harden's performance in this game was average, but as a player who is aiming to be the league's No. 1 shooting guard, I hope he can adjust his condition as soon as possible and lead the Rockets into the playoffs.

The two teams will have a duel in the next game. I thought that the Mavericks at home would not repeat the same mistakes as today. "
