Chapter 191: Pull back a game(1/2)
The main players on both sides almost played the second quarter, but Lin Xing and Dameng became supporting roles.
The competition became a match between the bug and the glider, and of course it was not entirely a match.
"Tim Hardaway and Clyde Drexler have a single match, they play around and play, and there are so many more goals than scoring."
"This game is really ugly..."
At the end of the half, the Warriors still maintained a 7-point lead with a score of 52 to 45.
Then there was the second half, and the game was still exactly the same as in the second quarter, and it was still a match between the glider and the little bug.
The main reason is that both sides have found a way to torture the other party’s core.
The Warriors are changing defenses unlimitedly, and Dameng is no longer in the inside.
The confrontation between the middle and long distances is not a big dream, whether it is Rodman or Lin Xing.
The Rockets have brainless defense, taking advantage of the loopholes in which Rodman's attack on the field is equivalent to four-on-five.
On the other hand—
The Warriors' attack is the personal ability of Xiao Zhu.
Of course, it is also related to Lin Xing's pulling away most of the Rockets' defensive attention.
The Rockets had thought that when Lin Xing did not hold the ball, he would turn the center of gravity of the defense to the side of the bug.
But as soon as they took action, Lin Xing became restless.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Chong is also a top point guard and has excellent ball-taking ability.
As soon as the Rockets' defense moved, he could immediately score Lin Xing on the weak side.
Lin Xing received the ball and broke through the single defense of the glider alone, which can be said to be easy.
As for the Rockets' attack, Dameng on the front was intercepted and stuck on the periphery.
But Tang Shuai did not let Dameng return to the penalty area because he saw Dameng's role in increasing the position.
That is, Kenny Smith or Sam Kassel, the two of them dragged down the Warriors' defense, Lin Xing and Rodman.
Wouldn't the flanking glider be empty? So, the Rockets' offense became a singles show for the glider.
From time to time, he will also cooperate with Mario Ellie in cover.
If his or Ellie's cover quality is excellent, he can match the little bug and order the little bug.
But like the second quarter, both bugs and gliders have a bit low offensive efficiency.
So, the game looks a bit boring.
In the third quarter, the coaches on both sides were not idle either and wanted to find something to do.
On the Warriors' side, Old Nelson wants to replace Rodman and liberate Lin Xing.
As a result, just after a few rounds of replacement, Dameng on the defensive end began to take shape.
To put it bluntly, unlimited defense switching is not something that everyone can play.
At least, Chris Gatlin, who replaced Rodman, couldn't play it.
Dameng scored consecutively, and Old Nelson was startled and quickly replaced Rodman again.
Although he quickly changed Rodman back, this wave of old Nelson's attempts still committed a serious crime.
The Warriors originally had 7 points in their hands, but in a blink of an eye, there were only 3 points left.
Fortunately, after switching back to Rodman, the Warriors' defense stabilized again.
The game re-entered the tug-of-war, and at the end of the three quarters-
75 to 71, the Warriors still led by 4 points.
but……
As soon as the fourth quarter came, the Rockets and Warriors all joined the main force.
In this game, they played as if the main players didn't need a rest at all.
Except for some substitutes with a small difference in strength, the rest,
The Warriors' Lin Xing, Rodman, Little Bug, Rockets' Big Dream, Glider, and Horry, all played time.
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors attacked first.
When you appear continuously and have no rest time,
Xiao Chong made a single shot with a mid-range jump shot, but it hit the iron with a clang.
The Warriors didn't take this iron seriously. In the second and third quarters, Xiao Zhu scored a lot, but there were more irons, and everyone was already used to it.
Turn around, the Rockets' attack.
The glider started to accelerate after halftime, and Horry, who was in the third position, suddenly raised it, giving him a very high-quality cover.
The Warriors were forced to change defenses, and then everyone witnessed the cruel scene of Xiaozhu's defense being ordered by the glider.
"Clyde crushed Tim Hardaway, rushed to the basket, and made a layup!"
"The key 2 points scored, 73 to 75, and the Rockets were only 2 points behind."
It was the Warriors' turn to attack again, and it was Xiao Zhu's singles.
This time, he still made a mid-range jump shot against Kenny Smith's defense.
Bang!
The heavy ironclad sounded again. This time, the Warriors and others were a little scared.
"This ball still didn't go in, the Rockets have a chance to equalize the score!"
Matt Goodica was very excited, but Mav. Albert frowned and raised questions:
"It's obvious that the touch is not good, why didn't Tim Hardaway directly rush the frame?"
Why doesn’t the little bugs directly punch the frame? Do you still need to ask?
With Dameng sitting in the Rockets' penalty area, the success rate of the little bug rushing the frame is not as good as a mid-range shot!
Lin Xing thought so, but he watched Xiao Chong smash two sperm of iron in a row.
He felt that he had to stand up and collect the game.
During the Rockets' attack, the glider asked for another pick-and-roll and continued to order the little bug.
Lin Xing couldn't see it anymore, so he threw away Kenny Smith and rushed forward to make up for defense.
As a result, the glider turned over and passed the ball.
Kenny Smith received the ball and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer...
Swish—!
When the crisp sound of the net was heard, the Rockets burst into loud cheers at home.
"A three-pointer hit, and finally, the Rockets overtook the score!"
76 to 75, the Rockets overtook one point.
On the Warriors' side, Lin Xing became even more determined about his ideas.
No matter how the Rockets defend against him, he has to stand up in this game.
At the end of the game, at the decisive moment, the star of the player comes out to take over the game, that's what it should be.
Soon, Xiao Chong controlled the ball and came from the backcourt. He habitually stopped the ball at the top of the arc and directed the traffic.
But Lin Xing opened his hand: "Give me the ball!"
Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, then realized that he passed the ball to Lin Xing outside the three-point line on the left as soon as possible.
"Star, he's going to pass basketball from Tim Hardawayna. Is this going to start taking over the game?"
At the moment when Lin Xing received the ball, the Rockets' defense also surrounded him.
There was a glider on the front, and Hory was eyeing him on one side. Pete Chilcart, who was in the middle distance, was also prepared to make up for defense early.
In fact, if we only help defend and make up for defense, Lin Xing's singles can still play a role.
Here we refer to Lin Xing’s singles in the first quarter of this game.
The main thing that restricts Lin Xing was the moment he started to move, Horry rushed up to defend himself.
The same goes for this wave of attack, and Horry rushed forward to defend himself.
Lin Xing shook and took a double retreat and three-pointer.
Bang!
A heavy ironclad sound rang out, and Dameng grabbed the rebound at the basket.
At this moment, the situation seemed to be completely turning to the Rockets.
Lin Xing frowned and quickly retreated.
