Harden is so mysteriously languishing, and there is no way, this man has entered this "playoffs off the chain state" a little bit, that is, the gods can't wake him up now. Oh, God? There is no way. Believe me, Harden fans on the American side have already prayed to God, after all, it's not been a year or two since he dropped the chain, has he? So if there really is a God, either God and his old man did it on purpose, or he didn't bother to care about this matter at all.

Since Don Qian slapped Bard. After Kerr's headshot, the whistle on the field is obviously much better now, and although it is still a little biased towards Houston, it is not that unacceptable. After all, this is the home court of the Rockets, and it is okay to give the home whistle. This is an advantage within the normal range, and there is nothing wrong with it. Even the home whistle is a common culture in sports.

The NBA is no exception.

Seeing the timeout, Harden was still half-dead, and the Lakers played 2+1 again on the 29th, plus a one-on-two offensive rebound, everyone knew that the Rockets were cold in this game. But there's a man who has anger in his heart, Law. I will give you the opportunity to perform, and you will give me this kind of fun??? Are you worthy of me???

Seeing that this game was already a hopeless awakening of Harden, Paul was finally angry, in the end it was only 2017, and he was still the Paul, the Paul who integrated offense and defense. Yes, at this time, this season, he is still a defense! This proves that he has not yet stepped away from the top stars who are both offensive and defensive.

He is one of the most well-deserved superstars of this era.

Maybe it's the strongest one among the players who don't have MVP and FMVP.

What did he come to Team Rocket for? He came to the Rockets because he saw no hope at all with the Clippers, and because he felt that the Houston Rockets and Harden had a chance to break the situation that the Lakers and Warriors were unoccupied in the West. What is the result, what is the result? As a result, do you play well in the regular season and then run again in the playoffs? Paul just came to the Rockets in last year's playoffs, everything is unfamiliar, and it is understandable to be killed, but what about this year? It's been a whole season, D'Antoni has been replaced as head coach, and the magic ball system has started to work. Is it still like this?

Or do you want to come over in the playoffs...... Give away heads???

Then what's the point of me coming to Team Rocket? What's the use of eggs???

Toil. Didn't you come to this ghost place to watch the team's first round and second round again!!

Toil. You came here if you want to win!!!!!!!!!!

Paul didn't have a significant dip until he was injured in the 2018 playoffs, at least. Don't look at 2019, he is already a little powerless, and even a drag in the mouths of Harden fans. But in 2018, if it weren't for him, Team Rocket would not have been able to force the universe to do that. Especially his 3-2 game, which helped the Rockets get a match point, but everyone knows the rest of the story. In James. Under the leadership of Harden, he lost 2 sets in a row, was reversed by the Warriors, and then watched the Warriors successfully defend the title and complete 2 consecutive championships.

However, this does not mean that Paul did not work hard before. At least if you've watched the game, you'll know that he was a lot harder than Harden that season. To put it simply, you want to win more.

So tonight, when the Rockets were about to lose a good situation again, Paul finally broke out, and he exploded directly and stepped into his "St. Paul's state. Because the Lakers have now changed to outside control + basket protection, that is, Tang Qian guards the basket alone with a giant attitude, and the Rockets' offense has basically come to a standstill. At this time, under normal circumstances, it should be the strongest point in the team to stand up and play, but unfortunately, James. Harden is sleepwalking right now.

It could only be Paul himself.

Because Rondo has also been fouled four times, Paul first decisively killed Rondo once, and the ball was really killed on the person. It wasn't a touch, it was a hard breakaway, forcing physical contact, and then causing a defensive foul on Rondo. After Rondo fouled this time, he committed five fouls and could only be off, plus Beverley also committed five fouls, and this ball could only be played with Lance. Stephenson came over to defend. Paul only made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line, but he did what he had to do.

Rondo and Beverley are gone, and the Lakers' No. 1 marking point is no longer as strong as it used to be. Although Stephenson is also tough defensively and has a good body, there is still an essential gap between his skills and skills and the previous two. Coupled with his relatively tall stature, Paul can take advantage of the change in center of gravity to make small and big fights.

Of course, the Lakers still explained how Stephenson should defend Paul at this time.

Now there is no one available, and in this "porcelain war", basically few people can be spared, so there is no need for Lance. Stephenson had to use it too. Before going on the field, Larry. Brown said: Go and stick to him, his direct breakthrough ability is not as good as before, the Rockets must use a misplaced block, you just pay attention to defend Paul's three-point shot after the block.

His ability to pull out and direct ** now is not good.

Larry. Brown is worthy of being a defensive grandmaster-level coach, and he still sees the problem very thoroughly, which can be regarded as a great stifle for Paul's current individual offense. Paul's first goal was indeed almost lost to Reims. Stephenson went on offense for 24 seconds. Fortunately, he was still experienced, and soon made a deliberate leak of a flaw, Lance. Stephenson couldn't help but take a break from the ball, hit the ball, and then fouled, and Paul was given a respite. 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.

But this kind of scoring is indispensable, people will not be so easy to be fooled anymore, and they don't have James. Harden's powerful and invincible "porcelain touching technology", so it can only be a misplaced block. But this was also expected by the Lakers. At this time, the fans of the Rockets are desperate, why can't their two superstars play this kind of key ball and key game?

What to do, to Harden, Harden's eyes are now glazed, it is better to give it to him than to give it to a dog.

So to whom? The rest? Either it feels bad, or the state is not there, or it is not quite daring to take on this kind of responsibility at such a critical moment in this time period. So, you have to do it yourself. As a point guard, I've always believed that others make wedding dresses for others, and this time, I should believe in myself. Paul used his brain, and then suddenly called a block at the top arc and didn't make the usual takeover. But...... Suddenly, he dribbled back a few steps back.

This really surprised others, and they couldn't figure out what he was doing.

And the "big dream" Olajuwon, who was sitting in the ESPN live broadcast room, first saw some clues, but now because he is still uncertain, he does not dare to make a direct judgment. He silently looked at the broadcast screen, and then said in his heart: If this is the case, then this game may still have a chance.

What is Paul doing? Immediately the answer came out, he deliberately pulled the defender out after blocking and dismantling, and then reached a position where there was still some distance from the top arc, suddenly accelerated, and broke through with the ball! Reims. Stephenson naturally followed quickly, and he didn't think that Paul, who was already 32 years old, could still play with him like this. Eat yourself hard with speed? Are you dreaming or do you think it's 2007?

You're all old guys, okay!!

Yes, he is 32 years old in the NBA, and he can indeed be regarded as an old guy, so including many TV commentators, when they saw this scene, they all subconsciously said that Paul was a bit brainy. Too impulsive. Outcome...... Bang bang bang slap in the face. What do you mean? Meaning...... Paul actually broke through Lance in a straight line like this. Stevenson.

It's still a clean !!

Then with lightning speed, this goal was scored.

On the offensive end, the Lakers still relied on Tang Qian, got this offensive rebound, and then scored an easy dunk under the basket! The Rocket team is now no one on the inside, so Tang Qian is particularly relaxed and happy to fight. At this time, Paul scored another goal, still the same set just now, misplaced and blocked, and then pulled the distance and broke through directly in one breath.

Reims. Stephenson was blindsided, he didn't understand why this was happening? So as soon as his brain was hot, he pounced on a chasing hat, and it turned out that Paul was waiting for him to come. Directly a stop, make a foul, shoot, hit. Rushing over and making a sudden stop, allowing the defender to crash into his back, which has always been a signature move of Paul, has now reappeared to make Lance . Stephenson paid a college fee directly. At the free throw line, again a free throw.

This...... D'Antoni thought of something, and suddenly on the defensive end, with a big wave of his hand, he directly let the whole team start to come in and attack the Lakers' No. 29 in a wide range, and he is also the center Tang Qian. Because the Rockets didn't do much in this series, and this game was too, so all of a sudden, the Lakers didn't react much, made a pass error, and gave the opponent a steal. Again, offense, fortunately this chasing three-pointer didn't make it. Otherwise, they will be overtaken.

Don't say it, just after saying it, you were lucky, but Paul, suddenly turned his head and stole Lance. Stephenson's dribble, and then on his own, quick, one-handed...... Slam dunk !! Paul dunks are rare now, he only had 3 dunks last season, 2 in the regular season, 1 in the playoffs, and this season he didn't have 1 dunk in the regular season, this dunk is Paul's first and only dunk this season!

It can be seen that he really entered the "St. Paul state", for this ball, the horsepower exploded and exploded.

On the offensive end, the Lakers gave Tang Qian, Tang Qian was not able to score this time, and was directly caught and killed, and the opponent's ball you can see, that is, four people pounced directly. It's just looking for the 29th, and I don't care about the rest of the people. Tang Qian really doesn't pass the ball, he just plays it directly. Then the ball didn't go in.

Paul dribbled directly this time and singled out Lance. Stephenson, a reversing halt shot, hits!!

The Rockets are ahead by 3 points!

Tang Qian of the Lakers team was still asking for the ball, directly overlord picked the pulley, directly the.finger-roll, and then shot, causing a foul, went to the free throw line, and made 2 free throws and 2 free throws! One point away!!

It's still Paul here, heads-up, direct hits, and it's still a mid-range shot.

Don't forget, Paul is a real mid-range shooter, the only powerful mid-range shooter in the Rockets' magic ball system. At this time, the feel is not there, and the intensity of attack and defense increases, so you should rely on this classical way to attack. Because relatively speaking, the stability of the mid-pitch is higher, although the efficiency will not be so rebellious, and the victory will not be so miserable at the lower limit.

This is also in 2019, whether it is the Trail Blazers or the Raptors, they rely on mid-range shots to break the game and open up the situation.

Larry. Brown also knew that he couldn't persuade Tang Qian at this time, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went all out to arrange the defense, and at the same time arranged the rest of the people to prepare to go in and grab the rebound in the front court. Because the defense is now focused on the 29th, the rest of the people are empty. Be sure to make good use of it. Why is Jordan Bryant the king of "assistant boards"? One is the king of the average number of boards per game, and the other is the king of the average number of boards per game, because their attack threat is too great, and the more people who go up, the more empty the other side will naturally be. This gives the rest of the attacking team a good opportunity to get in and get into the board without any obstacles.

Larry. Brown's arrangement at this time is still in place, and such an adjustment is very in line with the current situation on the field.

Tang Qian also killed red eyes, no matter how many people there are, they are crazy to kill the ball, and a person in the crowd has to ask for the ball to be strong. As long as he gets the ball, it's a strong lift, it's a the.finger-roll, it's a foul, it's a free throw line.

On the other hand, Paul is also a continuation of the saint. Paul's state, the more he fights, the more fierce he gets.

Paul went in and threw a shot, and Beverley came up with six fouls and made two of two free throws.

Tang Qianbawang picked a pulley and was violated, and countless people beat him, and he also hit 2 free throws and 2 hits.

Paul singled out Rondo, continued to pull away, and then charged directly, this move was actually a killer move of the smiling assassin Thomas back then. But it requires a lot of ball control, and it is with the help of acceleration to break through. If this trick is not played well, it is waiting to overturn, but Paul's current state is playing a clear game.

Thomas was able to retire with an injury and score 29 points from the fourth quarter to overtime, and Paul is not bad now.

In fact, in the original plane he entered the Holy . When Paul's state and the Warriors were just right, it was the same, for a while, continuous singles, continuous points, and even once played 7 shots and 6 shots, all kinds of difficult fairy ball performances. The Lakers and Rockets are now biting like this with the score. The more you fight, the more exciting it becomes, and the more thrilling it becomes.

The score difference has always been 1 point and 2 points back and forth, beep ~ With Rondo also sent off 6 times, the Lakers' main point guard was also wiped out. And at this time, there is no strong point guard to send the ball to the inside and deliver cannonballs, so even if Tang Qian's personal ability is against the sky, that's it. Referring to the national team of the year, that's it, if there is no ball to enter, even if Yao Ming is a low-level killer, it is useless at all.

Even if Tang Qian's ball was finally violently confronted, moving the card position to ask for the ball, and a gap came out, but because of Lance. Stephenson's passing ability was not good, and the ball was missed. The result can only come on its own. But for such a period of time, the rest of the people on the outside line didn't fire themselves. The shots were too piecemeal and scarce. So the state has not been fed.

One of the big differences between a role player and a star is that a star can get into the groove very quickly, but a role player cannot.

So now, they don't have any form, but fortunately, the Rockets don't have it, and Harden is still outside the fugue, so it's actually a battle between Tang Qian and Paul. Originally, it was a very hot game, but now, the basketball can't get in, and it can't be passed to the Lakers' No. 29 hands, so ...... Paul, for his part, began to show his strengths.

His direct dribble is a big three-pointer in disguise, this ball ...... Also went in!!

All of a sudden, Team Rocket's momentum increased again. With a five-point lead and only a few minutes left in the game, the Lakers called a timeout.

The biggest problem now is that no one can pass the ball to the Lakers' No. 29, and now only No. 29 has the feel and state to suppress the opponent. After all, in a sense, Larry. Brown still thinks the interior is more consistent.

Especially after Tang Qian, who played the rocket team, used the.finger-roll, even more so.

The success rate is not a problem, but how to get the ball in, which is the key.

As long as this one can be won, it can completely defeat the Rockets' counterattack, and the next one is almost a hanging.

But the question is, how to do it in the current situation.

Who can stand up and pass the ball to Tang Qian?

Who.

ps: The Raptors are 3-1, awesome, but there is one less Durant, and the average of 34 points per game in the playoffs this season is also the Warriors' own bad luck. Otherwise, it wasn't so miserable. If Durant's comeback does not have the previous state, he still has to adjust, and it is estimated that it will be suspended. I never thought that the team that ended the Warriors dynasty would be Toronto...... Raptors.

The card frame version of Jordan, awesome.

** Vicky and Spurs crying faint in the toilet wow.

Then I'll go back from the countryside tomorrow, and I can break out in a wave, Team Rocket, alas, Xiao Zi used to be the favorite, let's go fishing obediently. I still can't do it.
