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

Although the Rockets still trailed the Clippers in the first quarter.

But the Rockets fans throughout the Toyota Center were still actively cheering for the home team!

the reason is simple!

Unlike the first two games of the series, although the Houston Rockets fell behind in the first quarter, star James Harden's performance was not sluggish.

On the contrary, he regained his former state!

Ye Huan scored 26 points in a single quarter, and James Harden also scored the highest score in a single quarter in this playoffs with 24 points in the first quarter!

"James Harden is back to his first-round playoff form!"

"He didn't give up and wasn't disturbed by off-field factors!"

"This is the Harden we want to see, crushing the Clippers!"

"The Houston Rockets are rising!"

"beatla!"

"beatla!"

"beatla!"

All the Rockets fans in the audience shouted in various ways after the first quarter.

Finally, thousands of words come together in one sentence:

beatla!

This slogan that once belonged exclusively to the Los Angeles Lakers now belongs to the Clippers!

"Houston Rockets fans gave the Rockets endless support from the sidelines!"

"Yes, listen to their voices, they are Houston's strongest backing!"

"Just like the fans said, James Harden gave it his all today!"

"We are also fortunate to see two super scorers competing on the playoff stage!"

The commentator on the sidelines was enthusiastic before the start of the second quarter and said passionately: "Maybe... Ye Huan can bring us another scoring feast today!"

Since the start of the playoffs, Ye Huan has completed the feat of scoring 40+ points in six consecutive games.

Among them is not the lack of his breaking the record for the highest score in a single quarter in NBA playoff history.

As the most popular superstar this season, according to today's situation, the NBA playoff single-game scoring record may be broken by Ye Huan.

The break is over soon!

Substitute lineups on both sides appear!

The two players of Lou Williams + Harrell led the team to withstand the pressure and played back and forth with the bench lineup led by Chris Paul.

As the scores between the two sides gradually improved, the second quarter was officially suspended.

D'Antoni and Rivers waved their hands in unison!

The starting lineups of both sides reappeared.

The Clippers did not use the five dead players, but still took Lopez.

However, no matter what lineup the Clippers use, as long as Ye Huan returns to the court, the hearts of Rockets fans will be in their throats!

They know very well that as long as Ye Huan returns, his performance on the offensive end can guarantee the Clippers' lower limit.

You are counting on Ye Huanla! ?

joke?

Back from timeout, Clippers attack

After Anthony received Beverley's pass at the top of the arc, he passed a ground-breaking pass to the wing, using the double screen of Lopez and Jeff Green to dig out Ye Huan.

"Oh!"

With the basketball in hand, Ye Huan didn't even need to aim, he just pulled it up and hit a long three-point shot!

"Shh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then penetrated the net bag!

29 points!

"This is Ye Huan's 29th point of the game!"

Seeing that Ye Huan was still feeling hot after returning from the timeout, the commentator in the commentary box once again spoke passionately: "It seems that Michael Jordan's single-game scoring record in the playoffs is in danger!"

After making 14 of 12 shots, with five minutes left before halftime, Ye Huan scored his 29th point of the game.

If the current trend continues, if the Houston Rockets can hold on to the score.

So today Jordan's record of 63 is really likely to be surpassed by Ye Huan.

However, the excitement of the two commentators had not ended long before the confrontation on the field brought them to a climax again.

Offensive and defensive transition, Rockets offense.

But the moment James Harden caught the ball at the top of the arc, the defender standing in front of him was not Jeff Green or Anthony, but Ye Huan wearing jersey No. 23! !

"Here he comes! Ye Huan starts to take the initiative to defend James Harden!"

"This is also the first time in this series that Ye Huan has faced off against Harden on the defensive end!"

"Furthermore, we need to know that Ye Huan lost to Giannis of the Bucks by only three votes in the selection of Defensive Player of the Season."

"His defensive ability is unquestionable!"

Just like the commentator said!

In this playoffs, in order to protect Ye Huan, the team's head coach Rivers did not let him defend the other team's arrowheads.

But right now, in Houston, at the Toyota Center!

Ye Huan took the initiative to confront James Harden on the defensive end!

This is also a signal sent by the Clippers to the Rockets that they want to move back a game at home! ?

Not that easy!

"Bang bang bang!"

On the field!

Facing Ye Huan's personal defense, James Harden did not hesitate, lowered his center of gravity and dribbled to adjust his rhythm, always observing the opponent's defensive position.

After glancing at the attack time on the timer, Harden continuously changed direction behind his crotch and broke through to Ye Huan's left side!

Then there was a drastic change of direction, pulling the center of gravity back to the right, followed by a step back, which turned out to be Harden's signature step back three-pointer.

Of course, Ye Huan didn't hesitate. He anticipated Harden's shot and got up to try to block the shot!

However, this was just a fake move by Harden.

In other words...this is another of his signatures—drawing fouls!

Sure enough, the next moment!

After waiting for Ye Huan to hit, Harden leaned forward and released the opponent's body, then threw the ball with difficulty!

"Beep!"

"Defensive foul on Clippers No. 23!"

Immediately afterwards, the referee not far away blew his whistle, signaling Ye Huan to commit a defensive foul!

James Harden gets 3 free throw opportunities!

"You're still too young!"

As Harden walked to the free throw line, he turned around and spat out trash talk to Ye Huan: "My grandma knows this is a fake move!"

Hearing this, Ye Huan did not respond verbally.

Instead, he silently stretched out his hands and made a 2:0 gesture.

That means, you are all behind 0:2 now, what do you have to be proud of!

Sure enough, after seeing Ye Huan's gesture clearly, Harden, who was still squirting enthusiastically, instantly shut his mouth.

At this moment, silence is better than sound!

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

After making all three free throws, the score reached 58:55!

The Houston Rockets chased the point difference to three points!

Come back!

Ye Huan controlled the ball steadily, his eyes were very sharp, and he kept looking ahead, but secretly observing the dynamics around him, including the defender Daniel House in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, when he dribbled the ball to the top of the key, House took advantage of the moment he was in position and suddenly started to shoot. Like a wild horse, he shot out and rushed into the inside.

House almost twisted his body, turned around, and pursued the defense with all his strength.

However, Ye Huan's speed was too fast and he reached the restricted area in an instant.

Inside, Tucker and Capela both reached out to intercept, but they were still a step too late, allowing Ye Huan to easily send the ball into the basket!

"This is how men play!"

After landing, Ye Huan responded to Harden who was not far away: "James, put away those little tricks of yours!"
