Chapter 802: Killing the Spurs

In the second half of the third quarter of the game, when the Rockets' lead was almost twenty points, Kobe Bryant finally couldn't hold it back, and he threw three points regardless of the tactical arrangement, but with Ding Hongxing's strong defense in front of him, how could his three-point shooting rate be guaranteed? Often he throws a three-point shot out to hit the iron, and the long rebound collapses so that O'Neal under the basket can't even grab a rebound, and after being grabbed by the Rockets, it is a counterattack and fast attack, and the score gap continues to widen, and by the end of the third quarter, the difference has widened to 31 points, which is a frustrating result. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kobe himself was frustrated, and O'Neal was also frustrated, in this quarter of the game, he just followed the team on both sides of the switch, had no presence on both offensive and defensive ends, and didn't even grab two rebounds.

Phil. Jackson's face was iron-blue, he replaced the main lineup, which was considered to admit defeat, so Tomjanovic also replaced the main team, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the game ended with the Rockets beating the Lakers again by 120 to 95 points, and Ding Hongxing cut down the luxurious statistics of 34 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks, continuing his triple-double.

Bryant scored 18 points on 6-of-21 shooting, O'Neal scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting and rebounded just seven, the first time he missed a double-double since the start of the season.

The Rockets' consecutive victories over the Lakers not only improved their record, but also had a symbolic meaning, providing all teams with a way of thinking to beat the Lakers, of course, it is useless to have empty ideas, mainly because other teams simply do not have the staffing of the Rockets, in addition to the Rockets, which team has so many excellent three-pointers? What team has so many great interior and outside defenders? More importantly, which team can have Ding Hongxing, a team core with super scoring ability and extremely comprehensive?

After only five games, the media who were not optimistic about the Rockets before the game quickly changed their attitude, praising the Rockets as the number one favorite to win the championship, and Ding Hongxing was called the next Jordan successor by some media, of course, some media regarded him as Oscar. Robertson's successor, and even some media say that he is not anyone's successor, he is the first Ding Hongxing, and there is no player in NBA history who can rank at the top of the league in all statistics, Ding Hongxing is the first.

In this case, the Rockets returned to their home court to face their next opponent, the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs were able to win the championship last season, mainly because of the excellent play of Duncan and Robinson, the interior twin towers, Duncan can be said to be the number one power forward in the league today, and Robinson is also ranked in the top few centers, their interior combination can be called one of the best in the league, of course, relatively speaking, they have some dim stars on the outside, and their best player on the outside is only Avery who has entered the late stage of his career. Johnson.

However, in the game against the Rockets, the Spurs also played very awkwardly, and they rarely encountered opponents like the Rockets who could shoot three points with four or five people, but their defensive system was still stronger than that of the Lakers, after all, they won the championship last season mainly by relying on tenacious defense, and Duncan and Robinson are still faster than O'Neal in defense, plus today's Rockets team three-point feel is very average, so they have been biting with the Rockets in the score, Didn't get beaten in the third quarter like the Rockets' previous opponents.

In the fourth quarter, perhaps because of the decline in physical fitness, several open three-point opportunities passed by Ding Hongxing were wasted by teammates, and the Spurs took this opportunity to overtake the score by five points.

Not only that, but the Spurs were also much easier defensively due to the Rockets' three-point miss, and one of their interior twin towers always stood under the basket, making the Rockets' breakthrough also in trouble.

At this time, other teammates were inaccurate, and Ding Hongxing could only come by himself, he first broke through to the free throw line with the ball and suddenly made a pull-up jump shot, hit a mid-range shot above Johnson's head, and after Duncan's board jumper hit, he turned back and shook off Johnson's defense with a realistic breakthrough feint, and then jumped directly from the free throw line to the outside of the three-point line with a step-back step, hitting a three-pointer, narrowing the gap to two points.

However, in the final moments of the game, Duncan's shooting was also unbelievably accurate, and he hit three consecutive jumpers, even if Wallace's hand was already on his face, it couldn't stop him from scoring.

Fortunately, Ding Hongxing also used two layups and one mid-range shot to bite the score.

In the final 28 seconds of the game, the Spurs still led by two points at 99-97, and the Spurs had the ball, and as long as they hit the ball, the victory was very big.

Johnson had the ball to ten seconds before he hoisted the ball to Duncan, and everyone else pulled away for Duncan to single.

Duncan backs Rasheed. Wallace, after a few tops, was ready to roll over in the last few seconds and then only give the Rockets a few seconds to attack, and he had a lot of confidence to shoot the ball, and he felt good today.

Just when he was about to turn around, Ding Hongxing suddenly started, he pounced on Duncan like a cheetah, Duncan was shocked, but he is now ready to shoot, there is no line to pass the ball, and there are only two or three seconds left, and others can't deal with it when he passes it, he can only turn over and prepare to jump shot, but Ding Hongxing has rushed to him like a bolt of lightning, and pointed like a knife, reaching out and cutting the ball down.

Duncan jumped up exaggeratedly and signaled to the referee that Ding Hongxing hit his hand, but the referee was in front of him and saw it very clearly, Ding Hongxing made a very clean steal, and he made a gesture to continue the game.

There are only more than four seconds left in the time, Ding Hongxing took the lead after the steal, rushed to the front, just when everyone thought he would rush into the three-second zone, a violent dunk dragged the game into overtime, but he made a stop-and-go jump shot outside the three-point line, the ball slammed through the net, the ball went into the light, one hundred to ninety-nine, the Rockets beat the Spurs and achieved this difficult victory.

With a bang, the Compaq Center Arena was boiling, and all the fans cheered for this wonderful lore, which is always the most exciting in a basketball game, let alone a strong defending champion on their home court. At this moment, Ding Hongxing became the hero of the Compaq Center.
