Chapter 444 Rule
Harden has a thick beard, which can not only increase his handsomeness, but also cover his expression to some extent, making it difficult for people to detect his panic and nervousness.Seemingly calm, he dribbled the ball to the front court, and once again faced Xu Tian's rock-solid defense.
There was no emotion in Xu Tian's eyes, and the bright lights in the stadium reflected in the dark eyes, giving people an unfathomable feeling.This look gave Harden extra tension.
Howard and Capela were encouraged by the last successful attack, and then they mentioned the top of the arc. The two formed a solid screen, blocked Xu Tian in the middle, and let Harden single the rest of the defensive players.
Harden is the most efficient player in singles in the league. Although Xu Tian has surpassed him at the end of the regular season, overall, Harden's statistics are better.The defense of ordinary players is still difficult to cause trouble for Harden.
Warren tried hard to defend, and finally reached out due to lack of experience, and was successfully tricked into a foul by Harden again, standing on the free throw line.This is the price he paid for his youth, and it is a necessary journey for growth.
Mike Breen praised: "James Harden is one of the best singles players in the league, but he hardly dares to single Xu Tian. His defense is really unfathomable."
Stan Van Gundy said: "This is why I said before the game that you kind of forget Xu's dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. Pay attention to my adjectives. He dominates both ends of the offense and defense. This is another level, and he can beat Stephen. The reason Curry was elected MVP of the regular season.”
"The Rockets are in big trouble."
Bickerstaff stood on the sidelines and was slightly relieved to see Harden hit both free throws.
George then took the ball to the frontcourt, and as soon as he reached the top of the arc, he saw that Xu Tian had sunk to a low position and secured his offensive position.Beverly, who defended behind him, was defeated by Xu Tianding.
Beverly is a strong player, and Xu Tian was not allowed to get the pass so easily, pushing people behind his back, and using fouls to prevent the Lakers from cooperating in high and low positions this time.
Xu Tian's feet seemed to be poured on the ground by cement, and he was suddenly pushed by Beverly. After only two steps forward, he stabilized his body and passed the ball he just received to the referee.
Beverly always felt that Xu Tian was a little different from the first scene, and he didn't remember until now that he hadn't spoken since the opening, not even a single trash talk.This was a little different from Xu Tian in his impression, more calm and terrifying.
Xu Tian stepped out of the sideline and stood next to the referee who was holding the ball. He paid attention to his teammates on the field, received the basketball from the referee with his left hand, and then raised it with both hands, looking for opportunities to serve.
With the help of Warren's cover, George ran to the top of the arc and received the serve from Xu Tian.Bend over the dribble, then organize the offense.
Xu Tian stepped into the field and stretched out his right hand to ask for the ball.
Seeing Xu Tian's action, George crossed directly and passed the ball to him.
Xu Tian dribbled back and separated from Beverly, and suddenly accelerated his dribble and rushed forward, forcing Beverly to move backwards, and then retreated to move away, and made an elegant three-pointer.
Swish!
15-4!
Kobe sat on the sofa and saw Xu Tian's continuous performance at the beginning. He excitedly said to Vanessa who was sitting on another sofa: "This is the Mamba spirit, this is the Mamba spirit."
In bars across Los Angeles, the sound of rowdy celebrations continued.They have been worrying about the team's future prospects in the past few games. Now they don't have to worry about this situation, and the joyful mood is naturally easier to appear.
Harden's European step layup, George, who was predicted, was waiting for him, and his side interfered with the shot, making him shoot hard.
With his excellent running and jumping ability, Josh Smith rushed to grab the rebound that Capela wanted to take off. Because he didn't stop his body, he lost a rebound foul.The ball is still owned by the Rockets.
Tyson Chandler was not physically strong enough to maintain a long-term confrontation with Howard, and he was a bit overwhelmed. He was replaced by Scott and let McGee continue to fight Howard.
Harden didn't try to attack again, and passed the ball to Howard, who was in the penalty area, and let him complete the attack.
McGee's defensive awareness and skills are not very good, and he can't use his experience flexibly. He was triggered by Howard's unsophisticated footsteps and shooting fakes, and he lost a thug foul when he came up.Fortunately, Howard's free throws are not particularly stable, and his choice cannot be said to be wrong.
Howard stands at the free throw line!
Fans in the Toyota Center Arena almost all set their sights on Howard.They don't know what kind of free throw answer sheet this star with poor free throws can produce.
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, still expressionless, glanced at the scoreboard above, and calmly watched Howard make free throws.
Howard was nervous like a junior high school student facing a major exam. He was nervous in a daze, and he shot a free throw uncomfortably.The first penalty, hit the frame!
This gave Howard a lot of confidence. When he made the second free throw, he basically kept his hand shape and strength, and he also hit the frame!
15-6!
Cheers broke out in the Toyota Center Arena, for Howard who brought them a surprise.
Unmoved, McGee got the ball with both hands, stepped out of the baseline and served it to George, and then proceeded to the offensive round.
Xu Tian's front left arc and Beverly's card position, relying on his strong core strength, pushed Beverly, who was not weak but looked helpless, near the free throw line, causing him to lose a defensive foul again.
Bickerstaff was really dissatisfied with the referee's penalty scale.Although he knew that Ariza and Beverly's foul actions were obvious, he believed that this was the home court of the Rockets, and it should be convenient for the Rockets players, rather than just enforce the law blindly.His words were a bit impatient, which made the referee basically impatient to explain to him.
Technical foul!
Bickerstaff received his first technical foul of the game.He originally wanted to be reluctant, but was stopped by Harden who rushed over, and did not swear at the referee again.
Xu Tian received the task of performing a free throw for a technical foul, stood on the free throw line, and accepted a point from Bickerstaff.
Bickerstaff didn't wait for the Lakers to start the frontcourt, and called a second timeout to discuss which defender should be sent to face Xu Tian.Both Ariza and Beverly committed two fouls, and the number of fouls exceeded the number of quarters. If they continue to fight, they will be easily targeted by Xu Tian.This is the most troublesome question for Bickerstaff.
Beverly, who calls himself a garbage dog, has the spirit of never admitting defeat. He offered to continue playing and convinced Bickerstaff that he could guard Xu Tian.
Although Bickerstaff is not sure whether Beverly can restrain Xu Tian, but now there is a shortage of personnel, he can only take the risk of letting Beverly continue to play, and try to avoid being too weak on the defensive end.
Xu Tian covered his view of the auditorium with a towel during the timeout period, instead of looking at the various placards held by the fans that made him feel uncomfortable, he stabilized his mentality and listened quietly to Byron Scott's tactical arrangements.
