Chapter 446 Worry
Referees often need to bear much more pressure than players, perhaps because of this, they can have absolute authority on the field.Even if you encounter a lot of booing interference, you can maintain your mentality and stick to the previous penalty.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lakers are far superior to the Rockets, and the reason for this is Xu Tian, who is back tonight.His dominance on both ends of the offense and defense has made the Lakers have a qualitative leap in strength, which is a realm that is difficult for ordinary players to achieve.
Ariza was ordered to stick to Xu Tian, who was dribbling, trying to defend him.However, the physical confrontation was not strong enough, and he was easily squeezed out of his position, and almost lost another foul.
The referee was still a little influenced by the fans on the scene, and relaxed the whistleblowing standards for the Rockets players, so that they would not be too embarrassed when defending Xu Tian.This is a consideration for the enjoyment of the game, and has nothing to do with the tendency.
Xu Tian switched to back-up mode, singled out Ariza, who was defending behind him, and then crushed Ariza with his footsteps and touch.
Howard remained on the court, just like Der Spiegel. His idea was that even if the Lakers center made an easy layup, Xu Tian couldn't make one.
Xu Tian has always positioned himself as a point guard. Even if he has the offensive dominance no less than Jordan, he will not forget the fundamentals of passing, hitting the ground with his left hand, and passing directly to McGee who was emptied.
McGee is tall and has long arms, grabs the basketball with one hand, ignores Capela's defense, and rounds his arm to dunk!
25-6!
Toyota Center Arena, still no sound.
Bickerstaff's anxious voice was a little harsh, and certainly hoarse.This kind of voice adds to the discomfort in the hearts of the fans of the home team, which is really unwilling to hear.
Harden made a lateral breakthrough on the left side, confronted George in the air and wanted to cheat for a foul, but the referee's scale was very loose, which led to his failure. Instead, he contributed a shot to hit the iron.
Before Howard could react, McGee took off quickly and grabbed the defensive rebound with his left hand.
Mike Breen said: "This is the earliest series game I have seen this season. The first quarter has not been finished yet, and the suspense may be gone."
Stan Van Gundy said: "I really want to say a few words in favor of the Rockets, but the facts in front of me make me believe that Xu has a historical level of dominance, far exceeding any other player on the field. This is the change he brings , no one can replace it.”
Xu Tian ran up the frontcourt, found an open opportunity with the help of Nance Jr.'s cover, and came out to catch the ball and make a three-pointer.Easy like usual shooting drills!
28-6!
Xu Tian made a three-point gesture with both hands, retreated slowly to the backcourt, and glanced at Bickerstaff standing on the sidelines.
Bickerstaff didn't have any verbal communication with Xu Tian, but he clearly saw disdain and provocation in his eyes.He knew very well that Xu Tian was an unusually strong person, and this look in his eyes represented many meanings, which made Bickerstaff a little distracted for a while.
"When was the last time you won the championship?" Xu Tian once asked him in the summer league last year, and somehow it reappeared in Bickerstaff's mind.He suddenly realized - Xu Tian has adapted to the intensity of the playoffs and is firmly moving towards the goal of the championship. They are just challenges that must be passed.
The fans in Houston were very silent, and the NBA-themed bars everywhere were even more silent.The explosive DJ music seemed very lonely, no one responded to this rhythmic music, and the occasional burst of low-pitched curses was even more incompatible with this atmosphere.
After Xu Tian blocked D'Angelo Russell, Bickerstaff decisively called the fourth timeout of the game.This method called a timeout also aroused doubts from the outside media, but more commentators believed that with Xu Tian's super strength, even if the Rockets left the timeout, it would be difficult to do anything.
During the timeout period, Xu Tian covered his sight with a towel and listened to the music in the stadium quietly, feeling an unprecedented sense of power in his body.At this time, he had the premonition of accomplishing something extraordinary.
Rockets fans looked at Xu Tian with a towel on his head, and unconsciously felt worried for the home team.They were not worried about losing, but they were worried that Xu Tian would break some other record.
During the regular season, the Celtics played against Xu Tian, and Xu Tian broke the rookie scoring record in a head-to-head match.With the Rockets mocking the Lakers and Xu Tian in the previous few games, this kind of thing is extremely likely to happen.
Jonathan Fagan was also watching the game and tweeted: "Bickerstaff must stop Xu Tian and don't let him break the record." He knew very well that the scoring record in the playoffs belonged to Jordan. If it goes on, this record will die directly.
Xu Tian heard the whistle for the continuation of the game, tore off the towel covering his head, threw it directly to the caddy who came over, and returned to the court with a blank expression.
The Lakers players can feel that Xu Tian is in a great mood tonight, and they follow him unconsciously, exerting super defensive strength, and preventing the Rockets from violating a serve for five seconds.
Most of the Rockets players are downwind players, lacking players who can stand up against the wind. Facing the impenetrable defense of the Lakers, their mentality is gradually showing signs of collapse.This impact is directly reflected on the defensive end.
Neither D'Angelo Russell nor Harden provided support to Ariza in time, and the effect of Ariza's single defense was basically zero.
Xu Tian received the ball on the left side of the free throw line, turned over and leaned back, ignoring Ariza's defense, raised the knife from the middle distance, and scored two more points!
30-6!
The sense of bewilderment in the hearts of the Rockets players gradually intensified. In this state, Xu Tian waved his hand and notified his teammates to use the full-court tight man-to-man defense.
After Harden received the serve, he was too obsessed with dribbling the ball across the half, but was intercepted by Xu Tian's defense and made another mistake.
Xu Tian slowly dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line on the left, facing Capela's outstretched right hand, and made a jumper with no solution!
BANG!
33-6!
Harden looked at the scoreboard above the arena, and his eyes even appeared a little trance. He didn't expect that the team only scored 6 points in more than eight minutes.This is really not easy to accept for the teams that scored high scores in the previous few games.
Howard was eager to win, and faced with this irresistible situation, his mentality exploded, and he couldn't keep calm at all.When serving from the baseline, Xu Tian's position was ignored.
Xu Tian shot horizontally, intercepted the serve in front of Ariza, dribbled through the frontcourt, looked at Howard who walked from the baseline to the penalty area, his eyes flashed, he grabbed the ball with his right hand, and jumped with all his strength without fear.
Howard tried his best to fully hold Xu Tian who was jumping with his arms, but it felt like he had encountered a truck that was driving violently, and he couldn't press it down at all.
Xu Tian supported Howard, straightened his right arm, and before falling, he completed a brutal dunk!
BOOM!
BI~!
Howard heard two voices coming one after another, his brain buzzed, and everything around him seemed to be blank.
