As fate would have it, the Rockets' opponent in the sixteenth game of the season was the Phoenix Suns, and the last Jordan successor in the league was Penny Hardaway, who had just transferred to the Suns this season, but he was injured and did not reach the heights he deserved, but his popularity in the United States is still very high, and his matchup with Ding Hongxing is also quite eye-catching. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition, the Suns' playmaker Jason. Kidd is currently ranked second on the assists list, averaging 10.5 assists per game, and is also the league's top playmaker, and the matchup between him and Ding Hongxing is also very interesting.

This game is also related to whether the Rockets can break the NBA's opening winning streak, with so many highlights, you can imagine how eye-catching this game is, and the NBA official has also listed this game as a live broadcast in the United States.

After the game started, Kidd stood in front of Ding Hongxing to defend him, Kidd is also a tall point guard, with very strong organizational skills and defensive skills, so in the Suns, he is the best candidate to defend Ding Hongxing.

In this game, Ding Hongxing was the first to create opportunities for his teammates after the opening, but I don't know if it was the tension before the record-breaking, which made them collectively inaccurate, and they couldn't do it outside the three-point line, and the first eleven shots were only two, and the Suns took this opportunity to frequently play quick counterattacks, once leading the Rockets by more than ten points, at this time Ding Hongxing could only stabilize the score gap through personal attacks, until the end of the half, the Rockets were still six points behind and entered the halftime break.

In the second half of the game, the Rockets still didn't get their hands back, and the Suns how to shoot, they scored eight three-pointers in this quarter, slashing 40 points, by the end of the third quarter, the Suns had a lead of 27 points over the Rockets, and they had a maximum lead of 35 points, at the end of the third quarter, Ding Hongxing scored eight points alone, only to narrow the difference to 27 points.

During the interval, Ding Hongxing rarely dropped the towel, the Rockets' performance in this game was really too poor, they couldn't shoot, not to mention, and the defense couldn't prevent it, the third quarter of the game allowed the Suns to score 91 points, and the Rockets' record of losing no more than 100 points in a row was about to be broken, and the record of the opening winning streak was of course in danger.

Ding Hongxing's personal performance is still no problem, in the first three quarters, he relied on his personal offense to support the team, and he has already scored 35 points, but the efficiency of other teammates is too low.

Ding Hongxing's move to drop the towel boosted the morale of the Rockets, in the fourth quarter, the Suns who thought they had won the game relaxed, and even their fans have been celebrating the victory over the powerful Rockets, but they didn't expect the Rockets to come up with three military lives, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they stealed the Suns twice in a row, both ended with Ding Hongxing's fast-break dunk.

The Suns didn't get enough attention, and they still had a 23-point lead.

But in the next attack, Hardaway's layup was slapped down by a big hat from Rashid Wallace, and the ball was obtained by Ding Hongxing, who counterattacked and made a fast-break three-pointer, and the score gap narrowed to 20 points in one minute.

The Suns called a timeout in desperation, but after the timeout came back, they found that the timeout had no effect at all, and the Rockets, who were already on the rise, couldn't hold it back at all.

The Rockets' current lineup on the court is two Wallace, Marion, Jackson and Ding Hongxing, the defensive ability of this lineup is strong, and it is second to none in the league, they prevented the Suns from not having a comfortable shot in three minutes, and did not score a point, and Ding Hongxing turned on the personal attack mode, he cut all the Rockets fifteen points in more than three minutes, his personal score has risen to fifty points, and the Rockets also quickly narrowed the difference to twelve points, in the remaining eight minutes, It's not an unattainable margin anymore.

The Suns had no choice but to call a second timeout, and after this timeout, the Suns picked up. Robinson made a mid-range shot, but Ding Hongxing was unstoppable at this time, he first assisted Marion to make a three-pointer, and then hit a layup of his own to narrow the score to nine points.

At this time, the fans at the home of the Suns were silent, and Ding Hongxing's performance like a god calmed them, and they were no longer convinced that the Suns would win this game.

Suns star Penny Hardaway stepped up and made a breakaway layup after a pick-and-roll, which led to Rashid. Wallace's foul, he scored two free throws to stabilize the situation a little.

Ding Hongxing dribbled the ball across the half court and used Ben. Wallace's cover gave him a three-pointer, but this time he missed the shot, and Hardaway turned his head and hit a difficult mid-range shot, and the gap was back to 13 points.

The cheers of the Suns fans began to get louder again, but when he turned his head, Ding Hongxing once again met with Rashid. Wallace blocked and dismantled, using the cover to shoot three points, although he didn't score the last three points, but Kidd still didn't dare to slack off, he squeezed through the cover, jumped up and stretched his arm as much as he could, wanting to interfere with Ding Hongxing's shot, but he felt that his fingers touched Ding Hongxing's wrist, the whistle sounded, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, this was a three-point foul, and then he heard a huge sigh in the arena, his heart was even colder, sure enough, this three-point shot went in, three plus one.

Ding Hongxing scored this goal steadily, and Hardaway's huge efforts just now were in vain, and the score returned to a nine-point gap.

Even Hardaway can't guarantee such a good feel every time, and the next few times, his difficult shots are all pop-ups, and the Rockets' high-intensity defense is really terrible, no less than the iron-blooded Pistons that defeated the Lakers F4 to win the championship in real history.

And Ding Hongxing's terrifying physical fitness allows him to ensure that his shooting hand is not deformed even in the face of high-intensity defense, and his physical fitness is still excellent, which ensures that his shooting rate is still very high, and in the next few minutes, although there are no fast offensive opportunities on both sides, the gap in the success rate of the two sides makes the score gap gradually narrow.

With the Suns still leading by two points and possession of the ball in the final 29 seconds, they called a final timeout and laid out an offensive strategy that would have been a sure win if the offense was successful.

The Suns' tactics are well arranged, and the continuous double cover creates a misalignment opportunity, but the Rockets are also constantly changing defenses, and their lineup can completely change defenses infinitely, under their rapid change of defense, the Suns have never been able to find a vacant opportunity to shoot, and in the end they can only make a hasty shot, the ball bounces out of the frame, and the rebound is grabbed by Ding Hongxing.
