The fourth quarter game started soon.

Maybe he was afraid of anything he was afraid of. Curry made a series of irons, Thomas made a dribble mistake, and Curry was hit by Ariza in the middle distance. The Kings made four minutes to make the Rockets hit a 9-2 attack wave.

"Curry's performance in the second half of the third quarter was like a god descending to earth. He scored 11 points in a row. Unexpectedly, when he came back in the fourth quarter, he failed to score three times in a row. He performed like a super god in the first quarter. Harden, who was frantically slamming the iron in the second quarter, was it a defensive target?"

"Curry has played for nearly 16 minutes in a row, with a total of 14 moves. The Rockets arranged Capela, Tucker, Ariza and Paul to take turns to defend. In addition, they were beaten by a single person on the defensive end, and their physical strength was consumed very much..."

After hearing the discussions of the fans behind him, Su Yang couldn't help but like that Curry's physical energy consumption on both offense and defense was indeed quite large.

It is said that Curry should not be allowed to play for so long. The main reason is that Curry felt too good before and wanted to defeat the Rockets in one wave, but what went against his wishes. While thinking, Su Yang asked for a timeout, replaced Curry with Raven and arranged for a full rest.

The game continues.

The Rockets' momentum has slowed down, and Thomas and Lavine, the King's side, have been troubled by fouls again, which can be said to be even worse.

Thomas Jr. mainly suffered a loss in defense due to his height limitation, resulting in two fouls on defense, while LaVine was deceived by Harden.

The difference between offense and defense continues to narrow.

Curry raised his hand and signaled that he could appear. Su Yang shook his head slightly and refused, confident that it was not yet time.

This operation gradually triggered discussions on social networks, and a large number of fans questioned Su Yang's rotation decision, why they either played for 16 minutes at any time, or watched the Kings be chased and did not allow Curry to appear on the stage. Did they deliberately play the script?

With all kinds of discussions, with 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Su Yang arranged for Curry to appear on the field while Thomas was fouled.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, Gordon made both free throws, and the Rockets overtook the Kings by 4 points 91-87, which was a great form.

The referee blew the whistle, the Kings kicked off the baseball line in the backcourt, and the cheers in Toyota Center suddenly turned into defensive shouts.

All the players in the frontcourt pulled away, LaVine took Harden to the top of the arc, set up a wall to block Tucker, and forced Harden to replace the defense.

Perhaps it was because of his lack of closeness before, which resulted in missing three-point growth experience, so this time Harden hurriedly stepped up and approached Curry.

The shot was indeed defensive.

But Curry changed his left hand from behind his right hand, lowered his center of gravity and started to rush hard, shook Harden three steps, and jumped up with his left waist and picked up the basket and played the board.

The basketball bounced back into the net, and the referee blew a whistle to punish Harden Laman for a foul, and a penalty was given.

The fans on the scene were stupid, and the Rockets players and coaching staff were speechless. They really didn't expect Harden to be easily broken through and layup by Curry again and again. The two points Gordon got so hard before they were sent back before they were heated up, and even gave one more point.

"Jeff, do you believe that character determines destiny? To be honest, I have never seen Harden show tension, nor have he shown his desire for victory. Perhaps he really wants to win in his heart. The body language of hitting him makes us feel that he doesn't care. It doesn't matter if we misunderstand it, but we just worry that his teammates will become lazy and eventually collapse in despair..."

"I agree with that. Looking at the entire NBA history, we can't find any superstar who shows the same personality as Harden on the court. Harden may never have thought of becoming a superstar, after all, he has already gotten enough.

But we can't accuse Harden of lack of fighting spirit. The Rockets fell behind 0-12 in the first quarter, and it was him who led the team to recover it."

Boosters were everywhere in the field, and Curryga made a penalty.

The king chased to 90 to 91.

The two teams changed offensively, Harden took 6 seconds to cross the center line, and then used the help of cover to misalign against Curry.

The situation becomes a one-on-one challenge.

Curry still blocked the left and left the right. The rest of the Kings strictly guarded the bottom corner to receive the ball and scored three points, and Harden was sure not to shoot the middle distance.

Harden changed hands under his crotch, suddenly started to the left and knocked Curry away, stopped the ball and retreated, and made a steadily three-pointer.

Basketball slams the iron.

The Kings continued to hand over the ball to Curry, and also used the help of cover to continually face Harden in a misaligned manner to start a superstar duel.

Harden did the opposite and instead blocked Curry's right and left the space on the left, he really prevented himself from hitting the iron with three points.

Su Yang laughed out loud, knowing that Curry had made a mistake in his route selection, and he actually broke through to the Rockets' crowded area. Even if Harden chose to block the right side, he could be patient, or leave it to Cousins ​​and others. Maybe it was because he was too excited and didn't think much about it.

While thinking, Gordon flew towards Cousins ​​and jumped out, and three-pointers went into the net, 90 to 94.

Cheers burst out in the stadium.

"Do you want to replace Cousins?" Assistant coach Mike Brown asked, Gordon was able to get a three-pointer just now, because Paul looked for pick-and-roll, and after breaking through Cousins, he attracted Raven to assist in defense. It was a bit of a loss of points at critical moments.

"Wait a little longer..." Su Yang shook his head and signaled that the two teams are exhausted at this time, and the closer they get to the basket, the easier it is to score points.

Before he finished speaking, Cousins ​​received a pass from Curry on the bottom line, turned around and started to rush to the basket, but he never thought the referee would roar.

A mistake in crossing the line!

Rockets' ball rights!

"Ah..." Su Yang was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to call a timeout immediately and let the game continue.

Rockets counterattack on the field.

With the help of cover moves, Paul beat Cousins ​​one-on-one on the arc, and the breakthrough once again attracted LaVine to assist in defense and passed Harden.

As the whole field was staring, Harden received the ball and accumulated strength for a moment. He rushed towards LaVinfei and jumped out for a three-pointer, and made a clang of iron.

The basketball rebounded to the free throw line, George jumped high and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned to the frontcourt. There was only one higher in the Rockets' frontcourt, and the three Kings followed suit. In a hurry, Gordon hugged Durant and made a tactical foul in advance.

Seeing this, Su Yang immediately signaled to make a substitution. Covington, who was sitting at the technical desk, got up and stepped into the court, and exchanged high-fives with Cousins.

The boos in the stadium were shocking.

George had no effect, and made both free throws, 92 to 94.

After the offense and defense transition, Harden dribbled the ball across the center line for another six seconds, continued to wave for cover, and suddenly raised his hand to pass the ball to the right.

At this time, the King was undergoing early defense change, striving to avoid Curry's duel against Harden, and accidentally let Gordon go.

Perhaps it was because Covington had just made a debut and had problems with communication.

Gordon took the ball and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, but he didn't touch it, and his sigh suddenly resounded throughout the stadium.

Su Yang let out a long breath to calm down his heartbeat.

It was a bit dangerous just now. I was scored three-pointers with one and a half minutes left, so it would be difficult to chase them later. The key is that Harden found that the opportunity was too fast and the pass was also fast, which was completely different from the pace of dribbling the ball over the halftime in the previous six seconds, which made the players in the Kings relax a little.

"This should be the basis for Harden's pace so slow, and the Rockets' players can cooperate with him. They are very strong in defensive reading. Fortunately, their personality is not like Kobe, so they are not that strong. Otherwise, if they want to defeat the Rockets, they have to spend more effort..."

While thinking, Curry held the ball against Harden again at the top of the arc.

The continuous change of direction failed to succeed, and he hurriedly passed to LaVine, and another three-pointer was hit, but Antetokounmpo grabbed the offensive rebound.

The basketball passed the ball to the right wing, and Curry took it in his hand and rushed towards Harden, but unfortunately he still hit the iron with a clang.

Su Yang gritted his teeth and sighed, the opportunity had actually come out, and Harden made a defensive mistake, and it would be a pity that he didn't make it.

The offense and defense were converted again on the field.

Paul dribbled the ball across the center line, and used the help of covers to confront Antetokounmpo in a 45-degree misalignment on the right, deliberately retreating far away.

Antetokounmpo stayed at the three-point line and waited, suddenly bent down and slapped the floor with both hands, raised his head and shouted at Paul: Come on!

Paul immediately raided the ball forward, and crossed the left three-point line position and rushed into the paint area in a blink of an eye. He stopped quickly and raised his hand to shoot. Unfortunately, he failed to click Antetokounmpo. He hurriedly raided the ball sideways, threw the ball and hit the board, and was hit hard.

In the flash, Tucker flew up and grabbed the rebound, turned around and jumped, and rushed to take action in 24 seconds.

Perhaps it was because Covington and Antetokounmpo jumped at the same time, and the interference was too fierce, and the basketball failed to get into the frame, and the 24-second violation was violated.

With 42 seconds left, Su Yang weighed for a moment and didn't have to pause. The Kings stuck the ball in the bottom line in the backcourt, and the Rockets used the full-game press.

The King has already trained a coping strategy for such a defensive strategy.

Antetokounmpo and Covington kept covering in the backcourt, and Curry got rid of Paul and rushed towards the frontcourt basket like lightning.

Ali and Tucker chased each other, Antetokounmpo also turned around and followed. The booing in the stadium exploded, and Curry was almost over the sky.

But unexpectedly, Curry made an empty iron in the basket.

Cheers suddenly echoed in the stadium, but Antetokounmpo, who followed up, jumped up and got offensive rebounds against Tucker and Ariza.

The basketball pass slipped to Curry in the short corner on the right, which was not his good position, but he jumped decisively and scored two points.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

"Okay!" Su Yang immediately changed the gesture of preparing to pause to applaud vigorously, and grinned with the flow.

With 32.8 seconds left, the two teams tied, the Rockets did not call a timeout, and Harden dribbled the ball and slowly advanced forward.

Rockets fans stood up and noticed. Harden ran across the center line in 7 seconds, bowed to suppress the time, looked for cover, and waited for Curry.

Seeing this, Su Yang shouted a reminder, "It's almost 24 seconds anyway, Curry joined hands with George to double-team, and Harden hurriedly stepped back and rushed to win."

The basketball rebounded with a bang, and Antetokounmpo was bent his knees and prepared to grab the rebound, but he thought that Tucker flew out.

Offensive rebounds!

The cheers burst out in Toyota Center. Tucker protected the ball around and passed it to Harden who quietly slipped to the right elbow area. Harden took the ball and stepped back, blocked the block against Antetokounmpo, Covington and George, and rose to the ground and shot two points. The basketball smashed the basket and bounced into the net.

The King is behind 94 to 96, with 4.9 seconds left.

At the most critical moment, Harden made a mid-range shot and hit it, comparing to the previous life and death, like writing a script.

Su Yang asked for a pause, first arranged for LaVine to come off the field, and Thomas Jr. appeared to replace him, and then said calmly: "We play a box box tactic. Curry is the first ending point. Before he catches the ball, he first hangs George's back to cover the empty cut, stops in the paint area, and hides the subsequent shooting intention to go around the top of the arc. Thomas also puts up and pretends to receive the serve, and George also runs to Covington, pretending to receive the serve. The purpose of running like that of you two is to clear out the space on the top of the arc..."

The pause ends between conversations.

Kings players entered the field, Covington stood outside the right wing, Thomas Jr. and George stood on the left and right waist positions, Curry and Antetokounmpo were separated from the elbows on both sides, Rockets were each staring at the place, and Harden was replaced by Capel.

Boos in the stadium one after another.

The referee blew the ball to the time.
