Chapter 816

After the goal, Francis looked at Lamar with sharp eyes, and Lamar knew that Francis was about to explode. ?? ??? He is not a person who is willing to be lonely, and the next game may be a bigger test for the Knicks.

Francis is going to start playing, and everyone can feel it. As the real boss of the team, he can't hide behind the scenes all the time, let alone be willing to be a fixed-point shooter, he wants to be the protagonist, just like Lamar of the Knicks.

At the beginning, he was reluctant to go to the Memphis Grizzlies because Francis was unwilling to live forever under the aura of Rahim. It's the same now, and while head coach Rudy Tomjanovic established the drug name as a central player before the game, that doesn't mean he's going to put up with it forever. Especially watching his main rival, Lamar of the same level, kill all sides, his heart was almost silent, and he couldn't help but feel alive.

The name of the medicine naturally knows what his comrades-in-arms are thinking about now. Now the team has a 10-point lead, and he is feeling a little tired after a quarter. Therefore, the name of the medicine is also very willing to become the beauty of people.

Rudy Tomjanovic is also in the same mind, although he prefers to shoulder the tactical core of the drug name throughout the game, but he also knows that the use of drug names in moderation is necessary. In fact, the most suitable game for each game should be controlled to about 33 minutes, and in addition to that, he can rely on Francis.

As a result, as soon as the second half of the game began, the Rockets immediately changed their strategy and played the kind of nondescript basketball that ran and didn't want to run and bomb, and the positional battle was not like the positional battle.

"Here's your chance!"

This is probably the common idea of the Knicks, but unfortunately, the Knicks' calculation is destined to fail.

Because the game was too desperate in the first quarter, he was replaced by Rudy Tomjanovic after only a short time in the second quarter. It was not Kevin Cato, who was known for his defense, who replaced the name of the drug, but the power forward Morris Taylor, who was rarely sent on the court, a black fat man who was strong in attack and weak in defense.

"Come on!"

The Rockets' offense, Francis took the initiative to find Billups, his eyes became extremely sharp, and the burst of battle spirit was obvious.

Taking advantage of Billups' stunned effort, Francis moved, and after taking a big step forward, he leaned forward and made a gesture to break through. Billups barely reacted, just instinctively took a step back, but it was this step that Francis caught the opportunity.

Boss Fergus's body quickly retracted, then took a deft step back. Jumping and shooting, Francis was full of confidence in his eyes at the moment of the basketball shot, and after landing on the ground, he waved his arm and roared angrily, and at the same time the basketball went into the net.

Francis began to exert his power, and the Rockets' offensive run continued. Although the wave of counterattacks on the Knicks' side is also fierce, especially the point of Hillario on the inside, after being abused by the drug name for a whole game, his long-suppressed anger has finally been released.

Whether it is the veteran Howard or Morris Taylor, who can't defend at all, they are not his opponents at all, and for a while, the Rockets' basket was dunked loudly.

Although the Knicks' offense was lively, Francis became omnipotent today like drinking Red Bull. Breakouts, jump shots, the Knicks' basket was completely open to this slightly sad genius today.

"Guys, it's not going to go on like this, we're going to have to cut off Francis. Van Gundy held the tactical board and yelled, "Look at how many points he's scored so far, just in the few minutes of the second quarter, we gave him 11 points, we have to do something!"

Van Gundy said, glancing in Lamar's direction. After hesitating for a moment, Van Gundy continued: "Lamar, Chauncey, remember the closing tactic? Remember, this is my bottom line! His breakthrough is too much of a threat to us, so keep him under control and don't let him burst into the free throw line. ”

When Van Gundy said this, Billups's heart did tremble violently. Although he didn't want to admit it, Francis's performance tonight was really outstanding, and perhaps it was the excellent play that stimulated the self-esteem of the superplayer after the drug name established its central position. Anyway, tonight Francis erupted without warning.

As things stand, the Knicks are simply a victim of an unintentional collision into the muzzle.

"Okay, let's do it next!" Lamar stood up, and with the timeout over, Lamar smiled at Van Gundy and was the first to walk onto the court.

The game resumes and the Rockets attack.

After passing half court, the basketball was once again in Francis's hands. Francis's movements looked a little slow, but his every move was full of murderous energy, leaning forward with his waist bent, his hands on his waist, and his eyes fiercely looking at Billups who was defending in front of him.

Lamar was always on the sidelines watching Francis's every move, ready to go over and carry out the bag at any moment.

"Does this guy only explode after being stimulated violently?" Lamar thought, his footsteps slowly moving towards Francis, "Since you want to compete, I will fulfill you!"

Suddenly, Lamardo lunged at Francis, and a hand reached for the basketball.

Steals!

If the average person encounters such a situation, they will definitely panic, but Francis is different. Just as Lamar's hand was about to press on the basketball, Francis also moved, and with a graceful turn, the basketball was thrown by him as he turned.

"Huh!"

It was Mobley's three-pointer, a player who played a prominent role on the court, but was rarely noticed, and played a role in key moments. A three-pointer from the old cat Mobley extended the Rockets' lead to 13 points, and that's when the Knicks were really in trouble.

After high-fives with Mobley, Francis suddenly turned around and yelled at his bench, banging on his chest as he roared. Although many people could guess that Francis would be a little dissatisfied with Rudy taking away his central position, no one expected it to be so strong.

Seeing that Rudy's face had become a little ugly, Mobley quickly hugged Francis and quieted him down. But Francis didn't appreciate it at all, and kept pounding his chest, yelling at the bench, to be precise, at Rudy Tomjanovich: "Look at me! Look at me!"

Just when Rudy felt that his patience had reached the limit, suddenly a huge figure next to him stood up, it was the name of the medicine! I saw the name of the medicine with a smile, walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands gently, and then waved his fist and shouted: "Good job! Steve!"

Rudy Tomjanovich saw the reaction of the name of the drug, and the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared. It's enough to have such a player in the team who knows to take care of the big picture, and Francis is just a wayward child, so let him be.

After venting, Francis also seemed to feel that he had gone too far, waved his hand to the stands, and ran back to his own half of the court to participate in the defense.

The Knicks fell behind by a large score, and at this time, the Knicks habitually began to rely on Lamar, hoping that Lamar could pull the team back from the edge of the cliff by himself.

"Huh!"

It was also a three-point shot, and after relying on the continuous blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation of Hilario and Anderson, Lamar got the opportunity to shoot.

Not only Francis, but Lamar is now facing the Rockets' bag defense. Jackson may not be a defensive stalwort, but a veteran ruffian like him is clearly smarter and knows how to use it to his advantage. Jackson's kraft-like close defense, Lamar was already uncomfortable enough, plus there was a fierce Francis next to him.

So at the beginning of the second quarter, Lamar had significantly fewer opportunities to shoot.

When it was Francis's turn to attack, before Lamar was in place, Francis took the opportunity to drill through the gap between Lamar and Billups, and then went straight to the basket and scored the ball with a throw. The goal also resulted in a foul on Anderson.

Although Lamar is not defending head-on, Francis is still very excited to beat Lamar in an almost face-to-face battle. With this free throw, Francis has already scored a full 22 points in this game, and is on the same starting line as Lamar.

Van Gundy saw that Billups couldn't stop Francis at all, and immediately made a substitution. Anyway, it was time for the team to rotate, and it was a lot of energy for Billups to defend Francis with all his might.

In this way, the general made his debut, and although Arenas's defensive skills were a little immature compared to Billups, the intensity of his defense did not decrease substantially. Arenas is ruthless enough, constantly making small moves, and not being soft on fouls.

At this point, Arenas completely inherited Lamar's style, basically making a move when it was time to shoot. If ordinary people encounter him and don't play cards according to common sense at all, defenders who like to gamble on character will definitely be forced to scramble, maybe they will really make a mistake.

But today's Francis is destined to hurt the Knicks, and the core position is replaced by the name of his comrade-in-arms. This stung his self-esteem deeply, and the heroic heart that had been dormant for a long time finally awakened at the Toyota Center tonight.

"Boom!"

Another violent dunk after breaking through the entire Knicks' defense line in a row made the fans who went to the Toyota Center Arena to watch the game today completely upside down.
