Although he was closely followed by Ellington, Shangguan Yu kept running back, or using his teammates' bodies to hang out from the side to catch the ball. Even if he didn't receive the ball, Shangguan Yu kept moving, whether he changed direction and ran back, even if Ellington was a little more flexible, but he was also very irritable.

Once he receives the ball, Shangguan Yu will make a breakthrough, or make a fake pass, so that Ellington, who has no advantage in height and arm length, will be much more difficult to defend. Although he didn't score, Shangguan Yu used every run and breakthrough to send two wonderful assists to help his teammates score.

He was just as good on the defensive end, picking up a frontcourt rebound and a backcourt rebound, and allowing Ellington to make a mistake on offense and help his teammates cut the ball.

However, the Nets' bench is also powerful, and under the leadership of Larkin and Bogdanovich, they frequently scored and tightened the score. After their main force gradually returned to the field, the point difference was gradually eroded.

Shangguan Yu was replaced by Harden when there were more than 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and he thought that he would not have another chance to play, but fate chose Shangguan Yu.

The score was scorching, and with one minute and 25 seconds left before halftime, the Rockets trailed the Nets at 102-105 with three points. McHale needs to lay out a tactic, but the other people's three-point feel is not good, only Shangguan Yu's three-point is not bad, so he found Shangguan Yu this time, but it is not the first choice.

McHale was anxiously arranging tactics: "Ariza, you serve, Harden is the first point of catch, Yu you help cover, if you can't pass it to Harden, then hand it over to Thorton, stabilize and play slowly, find an opportunity to shoot three points, if you can't do it, you can quickly get two points, OK?" ”

The crowd nodded and after a short timeout, he came back on the pitch. Shangguan Yu knew what he was going to do, so he was standing not far from Harden, and before the ball was released, everyone had already started running. Seeing Harden's run, Shangguan Yu blocked Thaddeus Young's defensive line for the first time.

Because of Shangguan Yu's excellent cover, Harden got the ball as soon as possible, but the Nets' defense was not messy, and he should have switched defenses with Shangguan Yu Bogdanovic. Although it was a big fight, Harden didn't find a chance to make a move, and everyone else was stared at, and Shangguan Yu could only run out to respond.

Of course, it's just a little run, because Harden, as the boss of the team, doesn't necessarily give him the ball. But Harden chose to hand the ball to Shangguan Yu, and after getting the ball, Shangguan Yu took a false step and made a gesture to pass the ball back to Harden at the top of the arc, but it suddenly started, and in the face of Joe Johnson's defense, it seemed that he was about to go to the basket.

The continuous feints have made Joe Johnson's defense out of position, so he can only watch Shangguan Yu kill under the basket, just when everyone thought he was going to break through, in the face of Lopez, who came over to make up the defense, Shangguan Yu threw the ball to Harden on the outside from a weird angle.

Although they all know that Harden has a three-point hand, what they didn't expect was that Shangguan Yu, who entered that position, could still pass the ball. Originally, Bogdanovic was ready to substitute for defense, but he could only retreat to defend again, but Harden chose to shoot without hesitation, and Bogdanovic's block did not work.

Brush!

The three-pointers hit a solid one, the Rockets tied the score, and the Nets called a timeout.

In an NBA game, the last few minutes of the final quarter, if the score is scorched, it must be long. The Rockets' offense took 15 seconds just now, and there was still one minute and ten seconds left before the score ended. Theoretically, each team has one or two more shots.

I don't know if it was a good performance just now, this time it was the Rockets' turn to defend, and Shangguan Yu was not replaced, but Brewer replaced Thorton. The Nets served, Shangguan Yu stared at Bogdanovich, but the ball was not handed to him, and Jack did not rush to attack after getting the ball.

It wasn't until there were only 11 seconds left on the offensive time that he took advantage of Lopez's blocking and pick-and-roll to shake off Harden's defense. But Howard was right in front of him, with someone behind him and no chance to get the ball to Lopez. So he chose to hand it to Joe Johnson, and the single Joe deserved to be the single Joe, facing Ariza's close defense, keeping the center of gravity low and constantly dribbling the ball.

5 seconds!

4 seconds!

3 seconds!

He finally opted to shoot, a mid-range jumper that Ariza had with his hand on his face, but it didn't stop the goal as Joe Johnson hit a two-point shot. Hitting such a crucial goal and putting the score in the back swing again would have toppled the arena if it had been Brooklyn, perhaps applause and screams.

With 46 seconds left in the game, the Rockets have a lot of options, whether they can press down and play slowly, or they can score a quick two-point, all of which depends on the coach's decision, as well as the choices made by the players on the court, and the on-the-spot strain.

McHale laid out a quick two-point steal that looked like it was a success, and Harden got the basketball and took two steps from the three-point line. He had just made a three-pointer, and Thaddeus Young didn't dare to go too far, but Harden suddenly activated, changed direction and accelerated to break through his right hand, and the familiar European step was the same, and the ball was held high in the air.

Beep!

The whistle blew and Nets player No. 30, Thaddeus Young, fouled the player.

Harden stepped to the free-throw line and hit two of two free throws, and the Nets used the timeout to rearrange their play.

However, after sending the ball out, Jack still didn't find too good a chance, pressing the attack time to less than 15 seconds, this time there was no block, but the ball was still in the hands of Joe Johnson, and he still chose to press the rhythm. The minutes passed by second, but neither the offensive players nor the defensive players had any slackness and were highly focused.

Joe Johnson singled with his back and tried to arch some distance with his ass, but it didn't work, and the time was up, he turned and threw a step-back jumper, but the ball smashed into the back of the basket, and Howard, who was stuck in position, closed the rebound.

Call for a timeout right away, with only 17 seconds left before the end of the game, and you can organize an effective attack.

The Rockets' tactics are still set for Harden, after all, he is the boss of the team. However, the Nets will definitely target him and defend accordingly, so Howard becomes the second offensive selection point, Thorton is the third offensive selection point, and Shangguan Yu, as a pitcher, can only become the fourth offensive selection point.

It was still Ariza who served, and Shangguan Yu covered, but it didn't work, but it wasn't a big problem, and the ball still passed to Harden. Everyone pulled away, only Howard sat inside, and with 10 seconds left at the end of the game, Harden suddenly started to break through, but Jack and Thaddeus Young had no chance to shoot, so he could only hand over the ball.

However, the others didn't have a good chance, so he passed the ball to Shangguan Yu, looked up and saw that there were less than 5 seconds left on the timer, and before he had time to think about it, Shangguan Yu shot to the basket like carrying an explosive bag. In a physical confrontation with Bogdanovic, he threw the ball to the basket.
