Brother Alphabet is full of energy today to continue to beat Harden, and he has achieved good results, however, Brother Alphabet is now relying on breakthroughs, and his three-point shooting is not accurate, and Harden slowly began to master the law of Brother Alphabet's offense.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Harden's strategy to defend Antetokounmpo changed decisively.

Brother Alphabet is tall, and when he wants to break through, the front action is also relatively obvious, Harden saw the opportunity for Brother Alphabet to break through, and decisively took the lead and stood in front of Brother Alphabet.

Boom...

The two collided head-on, and Harden fell headlong behind him.

Toot toot...

The whistle blew, and Harden cleanly made an offensive foul on Brother Alphabet.

“YES！” Paul waved his arms excitedly off the field.

Making fouls, isn't that what Harden is good at, Brother Alphabet is so tall, it is easy for Harden to seize the opportunity, I believe that in this way, he will not dare to break through so recklessly.

However, looking at this first quarter, the performance of the Bucks made everyone on the scene shine, and they were able to hold the Rockets to play.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks actually led the Rockets by six points at 24:18 with the excellent play of Brother Alphabet.

Moreover, the Rockets obviously didn't keep up today, shooting one three-point shot and only scoring one, as long as the average height of the Bucks is too high, the Rockets almost didn't have a very easy shooting opportunity.

"Paul, what do you think of the situation on the field?" Taking advantage of the break at the end of the first quarter, Harden began to make small talk with Paul.

The authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and at this time, Harden needs to listen to some opinions from people on the court.

"Brother Alphabet's height advantage is too obvious, however, his three-point is very unstable, you just need to block him from breaking through and let him shoot three points!" Paul hit the nail on the head and pointed out the shortcomings of the current alphabet brother.

"As for the offense, I don't need to say anything, it's hard for Brother Alphabet to restrain you!"

While the two were talking, De Shuai had already begun to rearrange the tactics for the players.

Now, if you play a positional battle, the height disadvantage is too obvious, and you need to constantly block and dismantle, and after the opportunity, you can shoot decisively.

After Deshuai finished speaking, the rest of the time was handed over to the players to communicate freely.

"Gordon, you can add some shots!" Cheng Lei said.

Because Dellavidova's defense is not very strong, Gordon should have no small chances.

"Actually, the reason why we fell behind in the first quarter is actually more due to our own reasons, and the Bucks' Middleton and Parker will still be plagued by injuries, so these two points are also our breakthroughs!" Cheng Lei added.

As long as Ariza and Anderson fight fiercely, the other two are afraid of being injured again, and they will definitely have some concerns.

In the end, it was agreed that the best way to open the game in the second quarter was with Ariza and Anderson, who were easier to create chances than Gordon.

After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets possessed the ball.

The team consciously created opportunities for Ariza and Anderson.

Through the pick-and-roll, after the opportunity appeared, Harden passed the ball as soon as possible.

After Ariza held the ball, he didn't do any disguised action, just pulled away and crashed into Middleton.

Take the initiative to seek physical contact with him, even if you don't enter, the confrontation must be enough.

In the first two attacks, Ariza's movements were relatively large, and he did not score the ball smoothly, but fortunately, the second ball, the rebound was grabbed by Capela.

Passed to Harden's hands outside, Harden transferred the ball directly to Anderson.

After Anderson rushed two steps, he directly turned his back to Parker, exerted all his strength, and kept arching to the inside.

What you want is constant physical contact.

After pushing to the position, one turned, and since it was used to flip the jump shot, although the jump range was not high, but it also successfully threw the ball.

And I really threw the ball in.

Throughout the first half of the second quarter, the Rockets used this style of play, even if they didn't score, they had to put enough pressure on these two points.

Although the score was stretched to eight points by the Bucks, in the second half of the second quarter, the Bucks obviously began to worry about these two points.

Ariza rushed up again, only to snort Middleton for a moment before rushing all the way inside.

When Monroe came up to make up for it, Ariza hit the ball and sent Capela a pie, and the cake king ended the fight with a one-handed slam dunk.

Kidd is also an old fritter, and when he saw the Rockets seize these two points and hit them to the death, he decisively called a timeout, and then, first replaced the two of them to give them plenty of rest.

After the timeout, Brother Alphabet broke through and assisted Monroe to complete an aerial relay.

"After these two points, our height gap will be reduced, and Gordon can start attacking!" De Shuai gestured to the field.

"Paul, how did you think Kidd would have thought of letting Brother Alphabet play point guard?" Cheng Lei asked a little puzzled.

According to the height of Brother Alphabet, it is more than enough to play a big forward, and if you want to put it in a small lineup, this height, it is no problem to play a center.

"Actually, before Kidd came to the Bucks, Brother Alphabet's positioning was very vague, and after Kidd came, it was slowly sent down, Brother Alphabet has the potential to play point guard, and after a few games, the effect is not bad, so he will often appear in the point guard position!" Paul said.

"There are advantages, but naturally there will be shortcomings, if the range of action is too large, it is easy to be seen through the offensive routine!"

When the two were talking off the field, the game on the field was still in full swing.

After the pick-and-roll appeared in position, Gordon made two mid-range shots in a row, and the Bucks actually changed the lineup.

Antetokounmpo moved to the shooting guard position, and Dellavidova moved to the point guard position he was familiar with.

Brother Alphabet leaned his back against Gordon, and after two virtual shakes with a great range of movements, he directly turned around and pressed Gordon and rushed inside.

The person is tall and big, and he got inside in two steps, jumped directly, and came across Gordon with a one-handed split.

Gordon also took a step back with great interest, in this case, even if he jumped up and blocked, it would be in vain, rather than sending a foul, otherwise he would take the initiative to give a step.

After Brother Alphabet successfully dunked, Gordon quickly picked up the ball and sent it directly.

The quick backplay after serving is what the Rockets are good at.

After Harden got the ball, he quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, rushed to the three-point line, and after two false shakes, he raised his hand directly to make three points.

Swish!

Finally, it was three points.

This offense took five seconds, and the Bucks' defense was not yet in place.

Kidd was off the court, yelling directly at the players on the court, saying many times, playing rockets, what needs to be paid attention to is this kind of fast attack, but the players still made this kind of low-level mistake.

This kind of strong service attack, as long as you are prepared and the defense is active to keep up, many times, you can avoid it.
