Chapter 558: The Third Battle of the West!
won the first two victories of the Western Conference Finals, and the main battlefield of the third game came to the Toyota Center Arena, the home of the Rockets! In this game, He Yiming did not let his parents come to see, it is still necessary to take such a long plane from Los Angeles to Houston, and the second elder has just come from the Celestial Empire, and the biological clock has not yet adjusted!
If the Lakers win this third game, the total score will come to 3:0, and they will directly win the match point!!
Before the game, Van Gundy surrounded the members of the Rockets and encouraged: "Guys, we can't afford to lose this game, you must go all out!" Seeing the players look serious one by one, Van Gundy also nodded to the end and did not continue to say anything!
On the other side, their opponents: Lakers players. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lakers players are very relaxed! It's no wonder that it should be the Rockets, not them, who should be nervous!
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The game hasn't even started, and the Rockets' Toyota Center Arena is already full of people! This is the farthest the Rockets have gone in the playoffs in the past few years!
It's also a bitter tear to say, the Rockets used to be in Da Yao when he hadn't grown up, although he couldn't enter the finals, but there was still a chance in the second round, and then Maddie came, Da Yao grew up, and the Rockets formed the famous McYao combination in the league! But since Van Gundy became the coach, the Rockets' situation has deteriorated, and sometimes they can't even make the playoffs!
Last year, because the Lakers picked up the Jazz, the Rockets avoided the Jazz and entered the second round of the playoffs!
This season, the Rockets have changed a lot, their style has changed, their defensive attitude has changed! They have also played the second longest winning streak of the season! All of this has been watched by Rockets fans!
The team has improved, the fans are happy, and of course they have come to support them! Although they lost the first two games of the Western Conference Finals, the fans still cheered loudly for their teams and their favorite players!
The members of Team Rocket who got the cheers of the audience, as if they had received the bonus of the Little Dragon buff, were all high-spirited and ready to do a big job!
On the Lakers' side, it's Luke Wharton, Kobe, Battier, Gasol, and He Yiming!
The opposite Rockets are: Alstom, Bunch-Wells, Maddy, Scola, and Da Yao.
"Toot!" The game starts and the referee throws the ball high!
He Yiming slapped the ball into Luke Wharton's hands, and didn't give Da Yao the slightest chance!
The Lakers who scored the first ball must have given Kobe Bryant to attack, this is the tradition of the Lakers, and the Rockets also know it!
The Rockets directly surrounded Kobe Bryant and didn't give him a chance to go out to catch the ball! Looking at the surrounding Rockets players, Kobe Bryant also helplessly gestured to his teammates, letting them find opportunities to attack by themselves!
Seeing that the Lakers' first ball was defended, many Rockets fans cheered happily!
Luke Wharton saw Kobe's gesture, slapped the ball, and took advantage of the cover made by Gasol, who had just stepped forward, to burst into the interior by himself! The Rockets players just surrounded Kobe Bryant and couldn't spare their hands to make up for Luke Wharton!
I saw Luke Wharton single-handedly hit the Lakers' interior, and then made a shot!
Ball in!
“????”
The Rockets fans who were still cheering were stunned?
It was the Lakers' bench players who waved their towels happily one by one!
"The Rockets put too much emphasis on defending the Lakers' Big Three, allowing Luke Wharton to slip into an open block and shoot and score!"
Van Gundy's face turned red, but he didn't have a seizure! Just shouted a few words: "Defend! Pay attention to defend!"
Although the Lakers didn't give the ball to Kobe, they still got the first point of the game steadily!
Offense and defense switch, the Rockets' offense followed! Today, the whole team of the Rockets is full of offensive desire, from the free throw calculation, their whole team only took a short 6 seconds in the half, this running speed is indeed a lot higher than the previous ones! Seeing Maddie slowly organize the offense, Van Gundy nodded slightly, and he was in the state!
Maddie is not in a hurry to attack with the ball, although the Rockets' offensive desire is very strong, but they still need to organize and mobilize slowly! Look at the defender in front of him: Kobe, Maddy's heart moved, and he waved to the inside, and the inside line Dayao came directly to help cover!
Maddie rushed forward, and when he saw that he was about to break into the inside, he paused, and his whole body stopped! Then he slapped his left hand the basketball, and his footsteps retreated and returned to three points again!
However, Kobe Bryant is not a defender who is so easy to fall, he hurriedly adjusted his pace, kicked hard with his right foot on the ground, and pounced on Maddie! At this time, Maddie pulled the ball with his left hand, and the whole person wanted to move to the right! Kobe Bryant also paused, moving with Maddie's pace!
At this time, suddenly a dark shadow blocked Kobe's progress!
It turned out that Da Yao hadn't left his position yet, but continued to block Kobe Bryant here again! Maddie also took advantage of Da Yao's two blocks and pick-and-rolls to get rid of Kobe Bryant and came to the right side of the three-point!
At this point, Maddie did not dribble through, but jumped up and opened his hand to make a three-point shot!
Brush!
2:3! The Rockets lead the Lakers by one point with Maddy's three-pointer!
As the pace of the game progressed, the Lakers' powerful offensive firepower was also shown! Kobe Bryant attacked, He Yi responded clearly, and the perfect cooperation between the two was almost misunderstood! As for Gasol, he would just wait for a sneak attack at any time!
However, because of the Rockets' defensive focus, Gasol actually got a lot of sneak attack opportunities! His score slowly increased to 8 points!
Although the Rockets had a strong desire to attack and did a better job defensively than before, the score still came to 21:19 at the end of the first quarter!
The Lakers lead the Rockets by 2 points into the second quarter of the game!
Off the court, Van Gundy was a little worried! What else can be done to restrain the Lakers? What is the way? Seeing that his main personnel are panting one by one, Van Gundy knows that they have done their best!
Alas, Van Gundy sighed from the bottom of his heart! The configuration of the Rocket team is still a little worse! Except for Maddie and Da Yao, there is no other offensive firepower, and the defense of these main forces is not very good!
If you want to go further, this kind of configuration needs to continue to seek reinforcement! Look at the big three opposite, Kobe, He Yiming, and Gasol! What a smooth match, what a comfortable configuration! Combination of inside and outside!
