NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

The conference semifinals G1 between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets has gradually entered a fierce stage.

The Rockets were on the defensive end and had nothing to do with Ye Huan, who was in great shape.

Likewise, the Clippers can't contain James Harden.

The two top scorers in the league each performed wonderful scoring performances.

End of first quarter

The Clippers, playing at home, once again scored 40 points.

Ye Huan scored 25 points in a single quarter, setting a new high in his career in the playoffs.

On the other side, the Houston Rockets, with the help of the "Light Bulb" combination, also scored a high score of 33 points.

James Harden scored 20 points in a single quarter, which was also his highest score in a single quarter in the playoffs this season.

"This is what the fans have been waiting for!"

During the intermission, Smith spoke passionately in the commentary box: "Ye Huan and James Harden, the showdown between two super scorers, is something people look forward to every time!"

"Yes, after defeating the Utah Jazz, James Harden's offensive stability has been visibly improved."

O'Neill on the side also nodded one after another in agreement.

One of the reasons why Harden has been criticized by the outside world is that he is often sluggish in the playoffs.

But in this playoffs, Harden did not win a game and averaged 38.4 points per game, second only to Ye Huan in the playoffs scoring list.

"Similarly, Ye Huan's offensive explosiveness and stability have always been terrifying!"

After bragging about Harden, O'Neal chose to continue to brag about Ye Huan: "Look at the data sheet he handed over in the first quarter of the game!"

"Even James Harden is still no match for Ye Huan in terms of scoring!"

"This is actually not surprising. After all, Ye Huan is the youngest scoring champion in NBA history!"

In the eyes of the two commentators, if we look at scoring ability alone, even if those ancient greats move in front of Ye Huan, it is not enough!

James Harden is indeed very strong, but in front of Ye Huan, he is still a nephew!

"After all, if the Houston Rockets want to win this game at Staples Arena, Harden's performance alone is not enough!"

The showdown between Ye Huan and Harden was indeed exciting.

But because Ye Huan is about twice as good as Harden, the Clippers, who are at home, are confident of winning the Houston Rockets.

In simple terms:

If the Rockets want to defeat the Clippers, then other players must step up!

"Eric Gordon, you will replace Capela later!"

Rockets bench

Head coach D'Antoni is making lineup adjustments.

He knew very well that the situation on the court was firmly controlled by the Clippers.

Change starts with replacing the King of Cake!

The intermission ended soon, and the second lineups of both sides came on stage!

Harrell, who just won the Sixth Man of the Season award, performed at a very high level. He teamed up with Lou Williams and played back and forth with the Rockets' second lineup led by Paul.

With six minutes left before halftime, the Clippers temporarily lead the Rockets by 58 points at 50:8.

After the official timeout ended, the coaches of both sides brought the main lineup back to the field in unison!

On the Rockets' side, D'Antoni retained Eric Gordon while putting a light bulb combination with Tucker on the court.

The Clippers are offering the "Five Death Boys"!

A small lineup of Lou Williams + Grace Allen + Anthony + Jeff Green and Ye Huan.

"Five juniors versus five juniors!"

Seeing both sides switch to smaller lineups, Smith once again reached a climax: "This is the first time the Clippers' five small lineups have appeared in this playoffs!"

"If you are a Clippers fan, then you should know that this Clippers lineup once had a back-and-forth with the Golden State Warriors' top five!"

Houston Rockets offensive possession!

Tucker sent the ball from the baseline, Chris Paul quickly advanced to half court with the ball in the backcourt, and then gave the ball to Harden outside the left three-point line.

"Wuhu~"

Facing Grace Allen's defense, Harden used a deceptive little trick to fly past the defender.

Then, he accelerated to complete the breakthrough and rushed into the penalty area.

On the wing, Ye Huan and others quickly completed the defense. After attracting the attention of the Clippers' defense, Harden transferred the ball to Tucker in the right corner.

"Oh!"

The moment Tucker caught the ball, there was a brief open shot.

Just before Anthony completed the defense, Tucker took a three-pointer and hit it steadily!

58: 53!

The Houston Rockets chased the score to only 5 points!

But, as analyzed by Smith and O'Neill.

The key point of this game is not the Rockets' problem on the offensive end.

They need to find a breakthrough in the game on the defensive end!

And coach D'Antoni quickly gave his answer!

Looking back, Beverley dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Ye Huan outside the left three-point line.

"Bang~"

The moment Ye Huan just got the ball, a double-team between Tucker and Eric Gordon was formed instantly.

"The Rockets sent out a double team on the defensive end!"

"This decision is very bold. We must know that the Clippers players on the court now have three-point ability at every point!"

"Is this reckless attack open to question?"

On the field!

"Bang bang bang!"

Faced with the double-team situation of the two players, Ye Huan did not blindly play the ball. He controlled the ball and adjusted his rhythm, staying away from the two defenders.

But the next moment!

Ye Huan, who was still wandering outside the three-point line, broke into the ball and took a step laterally. When everyone thought he would pass the ball, Ye Huan directly stood up from outside the three-point line and shot Gordon and Tucker in the face. !

"I'm Zefaq!??"

Seeing Ye Huan's choice, D'Antoni on the sidelines couldn't help but curse.

He thought of Ye Huan's countless ways to defeat the double team, but he never expected that Ye Huan would choose to fight against the two of them! ?

What the hell!

The two people guarding Ye Huan did not hesitate at all after seeing Ye Huan's choice. They jumped up with all their strength, opened their arms, and tried to interfere with his shot.

Both of them have absolute confidence in their defense!

"Shh!"

However, the moment the basketball fell into the net bag.

Gordon and Tucker were completely dumbfounded!

It's not that they don't defend, the ball has already hit his eyes, but he can score!

"Do you think I'm Mitchell?"

After hitting the three-pointer, Ye Huan made a "pistol tilt" celebration gesture and said to Gordon not far away: "That person can compete with me!??"

Looking at Ye Huan's back as he returned to defense, Gordon thought for a moment and already had the answer.

Indeed, how can Mitchell compare with Ye Huan?

Facing the rice ball king, Gordon can restrict him alone, but now Ye Huan is difficult to stop even if he and Tucker work together to contain him.

This is the gap between superstars and stars!
