Chapter 355: Is This Really Just a Rookie?
McHale called a timeout, and two bloody dunks in a row had completely lifted the Lakers' momentum, and he had to make some adjustments. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Tang Hao left the stage, he was greeted with overwhelming cheers from the audience.
Scott took the initiative to come up and slap Tang Hao at this time.
Tang Hao's performance brought the most important momentum in the basketball game to the Lakers' side.
This contribution is more effective than a few points in a row.
When Tang Hao returned to the bench, his teammates also looked at him with appreciation.
You can feel that after a series of impressive performances, he has earned the trust of his teammates.
This trust is not directed or demanded by anyone, but is completely heartfelt.
After the timeout, the two sides began to make personnel changes, with the Rockets replacing Terry and Dorsey with Harden and Beverley, and the Lakers bringing Jordan Hill and Wesley Johnson on the court.
The Rockets' offense, Harden held the ball and beckoned Jones to block and dismantle, slammed deep into the basket, and made a layup that caused Jordan Hill's beating foul and hit two free throws from the free throw line.
The score came to 36-26.
In the Lakers' offensive round, Jeremy Lin advanced to the front court with the ball, and Tang Hao ran out of position to receive the ball, ready to break through the basket.
However, at this time, the Lakers' tactics were adjusted, Beverley led Tang Hao, and Brewer behind him made a defensive statement.
Tang Hao tried to break through a few times, but he was unsuccessful.
The Rockets used this defensive style and successfully forced Tang Hao away from the basket.
McHale's defensive adjustment was timely, and the rest of the Lakers were a little overwhelmed on the court.
Jeremy Lin beckoned Tang Hao to ask for the ball at this time, ready to reorganize the attack.
However, Harden appeared on the passing route in time at this time, which completely isolated Tang Hao.
Tang Hao looked up at the time and saw that there were less than 10 seconds left, and it was too late to organize an attack.
He turned around and leaned against Beverley, looked left and right, and saw that the other Rockets players did not come up to help defend, and the whole person sat back.
"Bang!"
Beverly was jacked back two steps back.
He didn't miss the opportunity, and took advantage of the power to turn around and shoot directly.
Beverley was pushed away, and the action was slow to pounce again.
The basketball went over Beverley's fingertips and fell straight towards the basket.
"Huh!"
Two points are firmly in hand.
The audience cheered.
"Nice back, I seem to see Kobe, Charles, it looks like you're really going to plant this time. Smith laughed.
"This really sucks...... It seems that next time, I can't get along with the Chinese players. Barkley said helplessly, Yao Ming in the front and Tang Hao in the back, he really hit his head against the wall.
McHale was also stunned for a moment at this time.
Tang Hao's technical movements and the feeling of shooting give people a very comfortable feeling, which shows that he is not just a dunk.
This rookie, that is, is very combative.
The thought quickly crossed his mind.
Harden advanced with the ball, his eyes kept looking at Tang Hao when he dribbled, and when he reached the front court, he beckoned his teammates to pull away, seemingly preparing to "teach" Tang Hao, a rookie.
Two cross-steps, Harden tried to get rid of Tang Hao with a skillful dribble.
However, Tang Hao's body control ability is excellent, and he has never lost his defensive position.
Harden saw that he couldn't shake it off, and directly chose a step-back jumper.
This is one of his forte.
His starting point is very deep, and his shot point is also very high when he leans back, which is why most people can't stop his move.
However, as soon as he finished his jump shot at this time, he saw Tang Hao's big hand in front of him directly covering him.
A look of extreme surprise flashed in his eyes, and he forcibly withdrew his hand, using his excellent air adjustment ability to forcibly raise the position of the shot point, and he was able to avoid the block.
However, the parabola of the ball was obviously deflected and smashed directly into the rebound, which was grabbed by Jordan Hill.
The scene was followed by a cheer.
Although there is no block, this defensive deterrent is amazing enough.
The players sitting on the bench on both sides unconsciously showed envious expressions in their eyes, Tang Hao's bounce really made people drool.
The Rockets retreated to the halfcourt, Tang Hao ran around the three-point line to the right 45-degree angle, Jeremy Lin's pass followed, Tang Hao received the ball and started to shoot, successfully causing Brewer's beating foul.
Chance of three free throws.
Tang Hao let out a sigh of relief and followed to the free throw line.
A penalty, there is.
Two penalties, and.
The third penalty hadn't started yet, but the scene couldn't help but let out a sea of cheers.
Because this is Tang Hao's 10th point in this game, and the 10 points have already allowed Kobe Bryant to win the bet with Barkley.
The on-site photographer quickly gave Kobe and Barkley two people.
Bryant looked in the direction of the technical desk with a wicked smile on his face, while Barkley blushed a little.
Although he was already attracted by Tang Hao's performance, losing the bet meant that he had to wear a three-point outfit to perform a dunk on the show, and he was somewhat embarrassed.
In fact, the starting point for making this bet with Kobe Bryant is the ratings of the show, after all, no matter who comes to Kobe, the effect of the show is explosive, but he never expected that this time the bet would end so soon.
Tang Hao's strength, where is it like a rookie who has never played a professional game, which is much better than all other rookies.
The third penalty also goes in.
All three free throws, Tang Hao indirectly hit a three-pointer.
And this three-pointer also helped the Lakers chase the score to 31-36, and the team only trailed by 5 points.
In retrospect, Harden did not eat Tang Hao alone, but used Josh Smith's basket to break through the basket and cause Ed Davis's beating foul.
Harden also hit both free throws when he walked to the free-throw line to help the Rockets stabilize the situation.
The Lakers' offense, Tang Hao went to the bottom corner by blocking and dismantling, Jeremy Lin made a mistake in passing, and was stealed by Brewer.
Brewer lunged forward with the ball, and the rest of the Rockets followed the fast break, and when Howard wasn't on the floor, the Rockets were characterized by defensive counterattacks.
Brewer rushed to the three-point line and started with a three-step layup.
However, as soon as he started, Jeremy Lin cut the ball off.
Jeremy Lin grabbed the ball and counter-attacked.
The difference, though, was that instead of advancing with the ball, he threw it forward with a slam slam.
Tang Hao was in the bottom corner before, and just returned to the three-point line at this time, directly received Jeremy Lin's pass, and accelerated towards the basket.
Josh Smith pounced on the defense.
Tang Hao jumped up, and Smith also jumped up to block it.
Smith jumped very high, and although he was no longer young, the former Eagle King's bounce was still extremely strong.
He had already seen the scene after he blocked Tang Hao.
The audience was also worried.
Tang Hao is not very smart in this ball, if he dodges it, it will be much easier to make a layup, but if this is directly a flying dunk, it will be much more difficult.
However, as soon as their idea came out, it disappeared in the next second, because in front of their eyes, Tang Hao retracted the ball and successfully dodged Smith's style in the air.
And just after dodging, he flew over the back edge of the basket in a floating manner.
After flying over, the other person turned in the air and pulled the ball back up with both hands at the same time.
There was an exclamation from the scene.
Exclamations at the scene.
Where is this playing basketball, it's basically dancing ballet!
"Bang!"
Tang Hao pulled the ball back to a sufficient height and then pressed the ball into the basket.
The inertia of dunking took Tang Hao to swing around the basket, and then he landed on the ground.
The exclamations of the scene instantly turned into cheers.
This dodge dunk is really handsome!
McHale shook his head helplessly, forced to call another short timeout.
At this point, less than 2 minutes have passed since the last timeout......
"Hey, brother, you're a genius, you're a genius!" as soon as Tang Hao finished playing, Nick Young rushed over and yelled at him.
There were other teammates behind him who also looked at him excitedly.
It can be seen that after Tang Hao completed this dunk, the excitement of his teammates was even greater than that of him who completed the dunk.
Kobe Bryant also came over and patted his shoulder vigorously.
His trust in Tang Hao proved to be completely right in the end.
The timeout came back, and the Rockets attacked.
Harden broke through the interior and made a wonderful pass to Ariza on the outside, who hit an empty three-point shot and the rebound was won by Ed Davis.
Switching offense and defense, Jeremy Lin held the ball and pushed forward.
At this time, the Rockets' defensive strategy was adjusted again, and instead of focusing on Tang Hao, they focused on other players.
The ball couldn't reach Tang Hao's hands, Jeremy Lin finally forced a basket, and with the help of Smith, the ball finally slid out of the basket, and the Lakers' offense ended without a problem.
In retrospect, Harden broke through the basket to create a kill, causing Ed Davis' third personal foul.
Scott saw that the momentum was not right and replaced all the other main players on the field.
On the Rockets' side, McHale also took advantage of the situation to replace Howard on the court.
Harden hit both free throws to help the Rockets extend their advantage.
Jeremy Lin advances to the front court with the ball.
Because of Kobe's play, the Rockets' defensive focus has also shifted.
Tang Hao used Hill's block to run outside the three-point line at this time, and Jeremy Lin's pass once again reached him.
He shook off Ariza, and then broke through.
Howard on the inside pounces on defense.
Howard is the league's No. 1 center, not Dorsey, aggressive.
However, Tang Hao did not flinch, and accelerated in three steps.
Howard was also full of strength, and his right hand came towards Tang Hao, looking like he was about to have a hard fight with Tang Hao.
However, Tang Hao turned sideways in the air at this time, passed by Howard, successfully dodged Howard, and threw the ball up lightly with his right hand.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Howard slapped Tang Hao's hand directly.
"Huh!"
At the same time, Tang Hao's shot smashed the ball onto the rebound, and then rebounded and rolled into the net bag.
2+1!
Tang Hao's score also caused Howard's beater foul!
The scene burst into cheers.
Jordan Hill rushed directly towards Tang Hao at this time, followed by a passionate chest bump with him.
"Is this really just a rookie? It's really amazing. Smith couldn't help but sigh at this time.
Tang Hao dunked Doshi in front, it was a domineering side leak, but this ball, calmly played the ball.
This relaxation, where is a rookie who has just entered the league, it is clearly an old fritter on the court.
To say that he has never played professional basketball before is really unimaginable!
Tang Hao walked to the free throw line and after hitting the free throw steadily, his personal score had come to 14 points.
And it's only half a game, if you play the whole game, don't say 10 points, 20 points, 30 points, it's all possible!
McHale couldn't sit still at this time, he beckoned the players, and changed the defensive strategy back to the previous set, he would rather give Kobe Bryant more offensive opportunities than see Tang Hao receive the ball and attack again.
Kobe Bryant felt average in the second quarter, and the Rockets took advantage of the momentum to open the score little by little.
With only one minute left before halftime, the Rockets led the Lakers by 16 points at 59-43 with a 6-0 spurt.
Bryant's shot from Ariza was off the line again, but Jordan Hill was perfectly timed to jump ahead of Howard and pocket the offensive rebound.
As soon as he took the ball and turned around, he saw Tang Hao outside the three-point line, and without thinking about it, he threw his hand out.
After Tang Hao received the ball, it was a big empty space.
There was a stir at the scene, this is an opportunity!
Tang Hao started to throw.
The eyes of the audience followed the basketball that was spinning in the air.
After reaching the highest point of the parabola, the basketball falls straight towards the basket.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, the hollow falls into the bag!
There was a cheer from the audience.
This three-pointer successfully contained the offensive climax of the Rockets.
On the offense of the Rockets, Harden leaned on Tang Hao and rushed to the basket and started shooting.
When shooting, his hand took the initiative to lean on Tang Hao, which is what he is best at, making fouls.
Tang Hao was already preparing to block, but after seeing Harden's intentions, he used his body control ability to retract his hand in a daze, and let Harden lean on himself to shoot.
The referee did not blow the whistle.
Harden reached the highest point of the bounce and could only choose to shoot in the air.
At this moment, Tang Hao made a preemptive attack and jumped up quickly.
He bounced at an astonishing speed and jumped backwards, but by the time Harden made his shot, his hand had reached about the same height as Harden's shot.
"Smack!"
Tang Hao directly slapped Harden's shot and flew off the court.
When he landed, Harden fell backwards for a while, and then he stood up, his eyes widened at Tang Hao, obviously not daring to believe what happened in front of him.
The scene was stunned, followed by a burst of earth-shattering cheers.
Harden was actually covered by Tang Hao!
And it looks so embarrassing!
That's Harden, an offensive kaleidoscope, a strong contender for MVP!
In the midst of the crowd's distractions, the Rockets sent a sideline ball, and after Harden suffered a loss, he didn't take it personally, and then Howard's block shot a three-pointer from the outside.
The shot was in a good position, but the feel was a little worse, the basketball popped out of the frame, and the rebound was pocketed by Kelly.
At this time, there were only 30 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
After Jeremy Lin burst into the front court with the ball, he motioned for his teammates to pull away, and then gave the ball to Kobe Bryant to let Jean execute the last attack of the half.
