"Tonight's penalty scale is a bit too much, it seems to be more than the home whistle, right?" Nash has now been saddled with three individual fouls, which is a bit hard to accept. Looking at the situation with the Lakers, Kobe Bryant has 4 fouls, Nash has 3 fouls, Gasol has 3 fouls, and Nick. Yang committed 2 crimes, Meeks 2 crimes, and Tang Qian 3 crimes. And that's not counting the fouls off the bench, as the Rockets have made a full 28 free throws so far. This Nima is only halfway through the third quarter.

Well, if it's all "body hair whistles", that's fine, and the Lakers won't be afraid of them.

However, this is obviously unfair.

There is only a "body hair whistle" for the Rockets, but what about the Lakers? Only 10 free throws have been made in total.

That's a full 15 times!

"It's a little too much tonight, but don't be nervous, just play our rhythm and try to be clean defensively and don't give them too many foul opportunities." D'Antoni finished speaking, Nick. Yang pouted and said, "Forget about defensive fouls, what is it if I am sentenced to 2 offensive fouls?" I didn't have a foul at all, it was the opponent who blocked the foul! ”

"Don't complain." The Lakers No. 24 sat in his seat and said with a calm face: "This is obviously the league's 'care', and I hope that this round of the series can be played a little longer." ”

"Cut, damn the unspoken rules!" Nick. Yang has also been in the alliance for so many years, so it's not that he doesn't know about it.

But it's the first time I've actually met.

Because of the ordinary regular season, this situation is rare, and sometimes it is indeed just too many fouls. But in the playoffs, it's different. Nick. Young only averaged 4.3 minutes per game in the playoffs, only 18.1 appearances per game at a time, and most of it was bench time, which he couldn't touch.

With the Lakers, he is now in the position of the sixth man, and it is not unusual that he is also being "taken care of" at the beginning.

"It's okay." "There are a lot of playoff games where you're 'taken care of' and still lose, we just have to leave the league with nothing to say," Bryant said. Hot, Paul, it's up to you on the inside, hold on a little longer, and I'll be able to play in the fourth quarter! ”

Tang Qian and Gasol nodded, but the plan still couldn't catch up with the change, because as soon as they came up, Harden made a defensive foul on Gasol. Paul. Gasol committed 4 fouls and could only be substituted early.

D'Antoni was replaced by Jordan. Hill, who was suffering from a bit of elbow discomfort before the game, did not play.

As for Wren. Kelly? It's too soft, and now the Lakers don't need to rely on him to concede three-pointers.

Brush brush ~ Harden easily scored 2 goals, he shouldn't score less tonight, a lot of free throws + Kobe Bryant's next time to score, today is a bad breath.

"Tonight is rocket launch time! Tonight victory belongs to the Toyota Center! Harden shouted after the free throw.

Taking advantage of the situation is also a necessary self-packaging course for star players, because some words may have the potential to be passed down for centuries. Even the future has been repeatedly mentioned and chewed infinitely. It's also a great way to increase your visibility and audience.

For selling shoes and jerseys, it is a good "sales method".

The atmosphere of the Rockets was also mobilized, and the sea of red made the Lakers a little breathless.

momentum, the whole is indeed playing Houston direction deflection.

In ESPN's live room, Olajuwon and Drexler are also building momentum for the Rockets.

Lakers legend Gail. Goodrich is a bit "weak" and has a very low appearance rate.

Damn it! This is too much for Nima! It's a "body hair whistle"!

Seeing that the Rockets created another opportunity to go to the free throw line, Tang Qian was almost depressed, because the shooting rate of free throws was too high! Although the Lakers have Nash in charge of the overall situation, they will eventually see the feel of the hand! This is also the helplessness of the No. 1 player, no matter how good the pass is, his teammates can't throw it, and it's in vain.

There's not a dime to be found.

And now the Lakers' lineup is: Nash + Jordan. Hill + Meeks + Nick. Yang + Tang Qian.

Gasol went down.

This lineup is completely a defensive scum lineup, and Tang Qian alone can't handle everything.

Besides, there are still foul traps everywhere, and it's scary to touch it.

Seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, Kobe Bryant was a little irritable, he was not the kind of master who could endure his temperament, but his invitation was stopped by D'Antoni. Because it's still too early to play, if you go up and get another foul, the last quarter will be difficult. For the suspense of the final game and the victory of the game, D'Antoni asked Kobe Bryant to hold it for the time being, not to worry.

With two and a half minutes left in the third quarter, one of the biggest controversial balls of the game appeared.

This is also a big slot for countless Lakers fans to complain about the referees and the Rockets after the incident.

Howard was obviously an offensive foul, but it was calculated as Tang Qian's defensive foul, and the former elbowed the latter, forced a violent outburst, and dunked into the basket.

"Isn't that a foul on him???" On the field Nick. Yang couldn't help it, and ran over to question the referee.

But the answer to him was one technical foul and one more free throw from the Rockets.

"Holy! You ......" Before he could finish speaking, Nash blocked him from behind and said, "This game is obviously greeted from above, you don't force an argument and give them an excuse to continue to give fouls." ”

"But, that ball was definitely Howard's offensive foul, I can see it clearly!" Nick. Yang is known as "Yang Shaoxia", his brain is actually not complicated, if you are good to him, he will be good to you. This kind of person is easy to be cheated by. For example, the original plane was given to rookie Russell......

"What's the use of you seeing?" Howard got a chance to hit a three-pointer, so he said a little proudly: "It depends on the referee's whistle, understand?" Do you need me to tell you such a simple truth? "You're disgusting! Are you called the league's No. 1 center? I'm really !! "Hear Nick. Yang was so faceless, Howard relied on his height advantage and size advantage to bow his head congenitally and said, "Tell you, you can't talk nonsense!" I'm just obeying the referee's decision! You talk nonsense, watch your face! ”

Nick. Yang is no ordinary role player, otherwise he would not have the feat of "one against five". Whether the fighting ability is strong or not is another matter, but at least the guts, he is not false at all. So he exclaimed, "Then come and try it!" ”

"Alright, Nick, don't be noisy." Just in Howard and Nick. When Yang sprayed against him, a person suddenly appeared behind him, and he was ......

"Hot, you ......"

"Nick, he's my prey, don't rob me." Tang Qian rubbed his chest: "I want to teach him to be a man." ”

At the free throw line, Howard was preparing for the free throw while secretly talking to himself, teach me to be a man! You still want to teach me how to be a man tonight?

Referee, can you still fight it? Let's go down and rest obediently!

It stands to reason that Tang Qian committed 4 fouls, and now there are more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter, he should be replaced and protected. It's like Gasol, it's like Kobe, it's a very common way to play. D'Antoni was ready to do the same.

It's all for the decisive battle of the fourth quarter.

But...... Tang Qian rejected D'Antoni's substitution suggestion, he waved his hand, smiled at Howard and said, "You continue." ”

Off the court, off the bench, the assistant coach of the Lakers spoke: "Mr. D'Antoni, is it really okay if you don't replace the iron?" ”

D'Antoni slowed for a few seconds before replying, "Do you think he's still some kind of role player?" ”

"Before you know it, he's grown into one of the stars of the team. And. ”

"It's still irreplaceable, it's extremely important."

The teaching assistant who spoke was also dumbfounded for a while.

Brush~

Howard added free throws, even if the shooting rate was not high, then he had a 54.7% free throw shooting rate this season, and it was not uncommon to occasionally have a 2+1. Howard has reached 18 points tonight, and with a bias in the scale and a lot of free throws, he finally has the possibility to vent.

And because the more he played, he also entered a state of explosion.

The Lakers look like these two and a half minutes are going to be an ordeal.

I don't know how many points will be scored by the Rockets.

At present, the score has reached 65-78, and the Rockets broke out in the third quarter because of the escort of the league and the referee, and suddenly not only overtook the score, but also led the Los Angeles Lakers by as many as 13 points.

You know, at halftime, they only scored 42 points.

In this quarter, it looks like it's going to be a good chance to score more than 40+ points in a single quarter.

The Lakers played badly in the third quarter due to mistakes and declining morale, and Nash made a lot of good passes, but unfortunately they couldn't shoot into the basket. At this time, the ability of a super scorer is reflected. If Kobe Bryant is here, he can withstand the pressure, break the deadlock, lead the Lakers to force a score, and force a fight against the Rockets.

Now, No. 24 is not there, and Gasol is not there, if it weren't for Nash, the Lakers' autonomous offensive ability would be paralyzed.

So? So, it's my turn to perform, isn't it?

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"The Lakers are not in a good situation, I didn't expect the Rockets to shoot so many free throws, and the whistle is a bit frequent." Zhang Weiping said: "At the moment, the Lakers lack singles, and it seems that it is really not good, so Nash can only come by himself." Nash did try, but he's aging now, 40 years old, which in competitive sports is really to the point of "dying old". So the singles ability, Nash has fully degraded, not as good as one-tenth of his peak.

This is different from the organizational tandem, singles, is a great test of personal ability and physical fitness, Kobe Bryant's original time and space Achilles tendon tears, both lost invincible singles. Although Nash doesn't have such a serious sports injury, it's not much better, and don't forget that he is also the owner of the game with injuries now. and 40 years old, several years older than Kobe.

As soon as a basketball player turns 30, no matter how you train, it will be different every year.

The overall trend is definitely going all the way down, and what you can do is no longer to improve, just try to keep it up.

So the ball Nash ended up losing to Nick on the other side. Yang, by him forced a three-point shot, "Yang Shaoxia" has a strong shooting ability. Parsons isn't an idiot either, though, he's taller than Nick. Yang is a big step higher, and the front is blocked, even if there is no cover, the interference is still OK.

So, Nick. Yang's ball is iron.

The basketball bounced high above the Rockets, waiting for someone to pick it up.

Howard stuck in position, trying to protect this defensive rebound, he wanted to come to his own offensive rebounding has no chance, defensive rebounding is still okay. After all, he is also the league's top rebounder, and he is the rebounding king several times in his peak.

The on-site narrator at the Toyota Center apparently thinks so.

"This ball Dwight got into position very early, and with his physicality and tonnage, I don't think anyone should be ......"

"What? What does that guy want to do??? ”
