894: Someone darker than McHale (4/5)
Link's performance in the third quarter was outstanding, and he let Josh . Smith's magical aura is gone! However, after Link is gone, I wonder if Josh can quickly get back into shape? ”
Everyone knew that at this point in time, it was time for Link to take a break.
With Link around, Josh was indeed miserably suppressed. But Link is not there, and the eight-point advantage doesn't seem so safe.
After the timeout, sure enough, the Grizzlies sent a bench lineup, and Iguodala came on in place of Link.
Link gave the Grizzlies an eight-point lead, but it wasn't safe. I'm sure the headband gang in Houston will be able to bridge the gap. The Christmas war will not end so easily. The commentary was not enough, and he believed that the game would replicate the trend of the first half.
Josh. Smith also picked himself up, the nightmare is over and now the game is bright for him!
Link sat on the sidelines, wiping his sweat. Josh hadn't scored a point in the entire third quarter.
Moreover, under Link's consumption, Josh was somewhat tired.
It's true that Iguodala's physical condition hasn't returned to 100% yet, but it's more than enough to deal with a tired Josh!
The game resumed, Josh. Smith looked at Iguodala like a homeless man who had been hungry for three days and three nights and had seen a hamburger, full of hunger and thirst.
Everyone, including McHale, thought Josh would be able to score on Iguodala's head with ease. After all, that's how the Rockets took the lead in the first half.
So the first attack after the timeout, the ball was also handed to Josh.
"Josh. Smith singled Iguodala with his back, and Iguodala was completely targeted today. In the past few minutes, Josh was very embarrassed by Link's suppression. Now, it's time for him to vent his bad spirits. ”
As the narrator spoke, Josh leaned on Iguodala's back and turned to break through.
Iguodala wasn't in a hurry, he knew that Josh had already had some mental explosions.
Look at the moment and Iguodala will do everything!
"Huh!?" Josh turned around and looked down, where was the ball?
"Nice tackle, Andre. Iguodala cut off Josh. Smith's basketball, Josh made another mistake on the offensive end! ”
Iguodala is very calm at the moment and he doesn't want to live up to the expectations of this team.
From Randolph's voluntary pay cut, to the encouragement and waiting of others.......
The Grizzlies have never let Iguodala down, and Iguodala doesn't want to disappoint the Grizzlies.
After the steal, Iguodala quickly passed the ball to Carter.
The latter broke through Brewer's blockade with a tough break and a layup.
McHale is even more panicked now, the Rockets are already 10 points behind!
The outcome was not what everyone expected, and Josh thought he could go on a killing spree, but the ending was still tragic. The Rockets have to be careful, and it's not a good thing to be widened by the Grizzlies to double digits. ”
"Well done Andrey, go on, come on!" Link rose from the bench and led everyone to cheer Iguodala on.
Iguodala heard Link shouting and spread her arms and walked up to Josh again.
"Man, you've had enough."
Hearing Iguodala actually spewing trash talk, Josh. Smith was shocked!
Iguodala is known to have always been a good gentleman.
Although he has a strong defense, he plays cleanly, behaves decently, has a very positive outlook, and never explodes foul language.
Josh thought he had misheard, but Iguodala's vicious eyes told him, "No, you didn't. ”
Josh swallowed, and sure enough, after staying in a certain group for a long time, people will be changed.
The original good gentleman is now also stained with ruffians.
The Memphis Gang, well deserved!
This time, Terry's shot was badly interfered with by Dellavedova and the Rockets hit the iron again.
Among the three people in the "Hairband Gang", two of them have already failed to attack.
Whiteside took the rebound and was about to hand over the ball, only to find Iguodala running forward and waving.
This second team, although Dellavedova is the point guard. But the real organizing point is Iguodala.
Iguodala is like a "poor man's" Link, he is also very versatile, but not as good as Link's every aspect.
Anyway, Iguodala is the point of organization, so Whiteside has a hard head and comes to the backcourt to launch a long pass!
However, Whiteside's accuracy of long passes is indeed not flattering, and not everyone is like Gasol Jr., who can play long passes and low post strategies superbly.
Whiteside's long pass was too powerful, and Iguodala gritted his teeth and accelerated when he saw this, and jumped up before the basketball went out of bounds and fished the ball back!
Everyone thought that Iguodala was just a reluctant save, but in fact, Iguodala had already found a passing target in the air!
The basketball flew precisely into the hands of Carter, who was following behind, and Carter hit the basket and shook Brewer away with a false shot.
Subsequently, the old Carter jumped on the spot and dunked with both hands, scoring 4 points in a row!
McHale was so numb that his scalp was shown, and Iguodala was able to save an assist, which was simply turning decay into magic!
Also, what happened to Old Carter? Can you dunk on the spot when you're almost 40 years old? Perverted!
Carter gestured to Iguodala in thanks, and Iguodala nodded at Link, who was celebrating his goal from the sidelines.
Protecting the honor of the Grizzlies, he did what he said!
The margin became 12 points, and the Houston Rockets' situation took a sharp turn.
Iguodala's outstanding performance blocked the Rockets' hole cards.
Josh. Smith is the only reason why the Rockets can still bite the Grizzlies so far, and after eliminating his surprise factor, the situation is completely under the control of the Grizzlies.
Josh. Smith managed to survive Link's end, thinking he would be able to usher in his next spring.
It's just that he didn't expect that what greeted him was the next winter.
In the next two rounds, neither side went on to score.
On the Rockets' side, Brewer's mid-range shot hit the side of the basket. After the Grizzly Bear attacked Jimmy. Butler's three-pointer was also off the basket.
Butler shot a little too hard, resulting in a long rebound.
Long rebounding, means counterattacking. And what Josh does best is destroy the opponent's basket on the counterattack!
The moment the basketball slammed into the frame, Josh ran wildly to the frontcourt.
Brewer desperately grabbed the rebound, and then made a long pass directly, and the "hairband gang" always found their own offensive rhythm!
Josh is running with the ball, and he's already thinking about what dunk to use to finish the offense!
He stepped into the box with one foot and jumped on one foot. Josh's arm was full of strength, vowing to crush all grievances in one fell swoop.
With this goal, he will turn the tide of the situation!
Josh slammed the ball into the basket, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt an even greater force coming from behind.
Iguodala was clinging to Josh from the moment he saw it, staring at the basketball.
This part of herself, Iguodala doesn't want to mess up!
The basketball was slapped hard by Iguodala, slammed into the basket, and then bounced back.
Josh. Smith fell out of the bottom line in embarrassment, and at the same time, his determination to turn the tide was also lost.
"Iguodala successfully blocked Josh. Smith's dunk, but Josh, he met in the second half with two treatments! Andre. Iguodala is resurrected, and he holds on to the Grizzlies' advantage! ”
Iguodala stood beside Josh as he fell to the ground and glared at him.
Mission accomplished!
Previously, it was assumed that Josh would continue to equalize for the Rockets, or even overtake the score.
But Iguodala stepped up, and his return made the Rockets' lightning signing unpowered.
When it comes to the front, the Grizzlies are unmatched!
Josh, who was rubbed by Link and Iguodala in turn, then didn't play any more highlights, and throughout the third quarter, Josh hit a scalp-numbing 0-of-6 shooting......
Without Josh scoring on the bench, the Grizzlies pulled away as they wished.
The Grizzlies, who trailed by 7 points at the end of the half, led the Rockets by 15 points after the third quarter!
Iguodala was like a shot in the arm, allowing the Grizzlies to take control of the game in one fell swoop.
At the end of the third quarter, McHale was blackened in the face.
Josh was blocked, and without the surprise soldiers, the rockets lost their means of victory in an instant.
Link excitedly hugged Iguodala as he walked off the court, Iguodala is a man who doesn't look tepid as usual.
But at the critical moment, you can trust him 100%!
At this time, no one noticed Adam in the audience. The joke face is darker than McHale's.
Because the hope in his heart to stop the grizzly bear from continuing to wreak havoc is slowly being dashed.
