Chapter 240 240, Reverse Tie Rod
The Pacers didn't expect the Rockets to get into the groove so quickly, and as soon as they came up, they showed super offensive firepower.
The resolute implementation of the bombardment tactics, and the ball did not reach the open players in time every time, and the shooting rate was not low, which made the Pacers tired to cope.
Because the Pacers want to train newcomers and let Miles grow up as soon as possible, the overall firepower is not very strong, and they are completely pressed by the Rockets.
Throughout the first half, the game looked very dull, the situation was one-sided, and there were no overly two-eyed goals on the court, Cheng Lei finally understood why Paul said before the game that it was not interesting to play on the Pacers' home court.
The fans have no passion, and the game on the field is also played in a decent way, so it's strange to be excited.
"I'm X, this game isn't interesting!" Hicks said as he sat on the couch.
Even the people in front of the TV don't think it's interesting, which shows how boring this game is.
At the end of the first half, the Rockets led by fifteen points smoothly, and the Pacers were completely lost in the wave of the Rockets.
"Brothers, this game is over, do you want to get together when you go back!" Paul suggested that the main reason was that he wanted to eat Cheng Lei's barbecue.
"Get together, it's okay, I'm fine!" Harden's eyes lit up when he heard the party.
Seeing Harden's statement, the others had no opinion, and the location was still Paul's house.
"Ray, this time I want to taste the barbecue you made!"
"Isn't that simple, until everyone wears more together, I bake more at one time, absolutely satisfy everyone's appetite!" Cheng Lei said.
"Speaking of food, I feel a little hungry!" Harden touched his stomach and said.
"That's not easy, everyone worked hard in the second half and worked hard to get off work in the third quarter!" Paul said excitedly.
"Was everyone happy, comfortable in the first half?" That's when Coach D'Antoni walked in.
"Coach, is there a new set-up?" Paul asked.
"Everyone played well in the first half, and in the second half, just play according to the rhythm of the first half!" D'Antoni said with a smile.
It has been his dream for so many years to lead this Rockets, and now this Rockets team is the best team in Deshuai's mind, and it has surpassed the Suns team in Nashner's meeting.
"In the third quarter, we worked hard to give our benches a little more playing time!" D'Antoni paused for a moment before speaking.
"Don't worry, coach, it's not a big problem!" Harden said with a smile.
In the second half, when I walked out of the players' tunnel, I saw that there were fewer fans at the Pacers' home court, and there were not many fans in the stadium, which seemed even more deserted.
Cheng Lei moved some muscles, then walked to the court, just rested, Paul and Harden unanimously decided to give Cheng Lei a good show of themselves, to put it bluntly, that is, the two of them want to be lazy, and the matter of tackling tough problems will be handed over to Cheng Lei.
Oladipo's defense of Cheng Lei is really undefinable, Cheng Lei's strength is much better than him, since following Harden to learn his breakthrough method, Cheng Lei's current offense is more confident.
Oladipo's speed is not slow, Cheng Lei wants to eat Oladipo, of course, he has to use his own advantages to fight him, so after Cheng Lei is in disguise, he turned sideways to Oladipo, and just pressed Oladipo into the three-point line.
When it was almost time to get to the penalty line, Cheng Lei turned his back directly to Oladica and prepared to start playing with his back to the single.
"Look, Miller, this little guy is very interesting!" Seeing Cheng Lei preparing to play with his back to the single, Barkley was as happy as if he was playing on the court.
"Huh? How can he play as a center? Miller was also quite surprised to see Cheng Lei fight like this for the first time.
In the past, Kobe Bryant used to dare to play like this with the footsteps of a center, and after Kobe Bryant retired, there were very few points that played like this.
"Olajuwon is a famous member of the Rocket team, he has a lot of opportunities to learn fantasy steps, and his comprehension ability is better than many people!" Barkley said appreciatively.
There are a lot of people in the league who follow Olajuwon's footsteps, but there are really not many good ones.
On the field, Cheng Lei tested Oladipo twice with his back, roughly determined Oladipo's defensive position, and began to move.
After two quick virtual swings left and right, Cheng Lei turned to the left sharply and put on a posture ready to shoot backwards.
Oladipo saw Cheng Lei play like this for the first time, and instinctively took a big step towards Cheng Lei, ready to block.
As soon as Cheng Lei exerted his strength, after the whole person was retracted, he took a big step with his left foot, and the whole person rushed in with Oladipo.
Oladipo ate Cheng Lei's feints and could only watch Cheng Lei pass by him.
After shaking off the defense, Cheng Lei didn't go inside, jumped up directly, and threw a throw.
At the beginning of the second half, what everyone didn't expect was that the Rockets actually let a first-year rookie lead the offense, Harden and Paul, who were willing to be his green leaves.
After the offense was scored, Cheng Lei's defense still maintained a tough attitude, Oladipo wanted to break through, but Cheng Lei's speed was not slower than him, and his physical confrontation ability was stronger than him.
After a few sudden steps, there was no good chance, so I could only choose to pass the ball out.
After Stephenson received the ball, he made a three-pointer and didn't make a single three-pointer in the entire first half, and at the beginning of the third quarter, Stephenson finally made a three-pointer.
Offensive and defensive switching, after Paul dribbled through the half court, he passed directly to Cheng Lei, Harden quickly ran towards the top circle after Anderson came to block and dismantle, and Paul ran to the bottom corner to ambush.
After Harden ran to the position, Cheng Lei looked at Paul in the bottom corner, and waved his hand behind his back, but passed the ball to Harden in the opposite direction.
The ball passed to his hand, and Cheng Lei directly accelerated and rushed towards the inside line.
Capela stepped forward directly, blocked the defensive Oladipo, and let Cheng Lei smoothly enter the basket.
Harden made a through ball and passed the ball in.
"Miles, stop him!" Oladipo hurriedly shouted.
By the time Miles reacted, Cheng Lei had already received the ball, turned around, and faced the basket.
When Miles stepped forward to make up for the defense, Cheng Lei had already jumped in the air.
"Upward blue, no way!" Miles yelled and blocked towards Cheng Lei.
After Cheng Lei stabilized his body in the air, his abdomen exerted force violently, and the whole person slashed towards the other side of the basket, directly bypassing Miles who was blocking.
Twist your body, pull the rod, and pull the ball back to the basket.
"Beautiful, he perfectly replicated Kobe's classic goal back then!" Miller couldn't help but applaud.
"I said, this little guy is very interesting, you still don't believe it!" Barkley looked at Miller as if he had never seen the world before, and sneered.
The fans in the stands were silent for a while, and then they erupted in warm applause, and it is not surprising that this ball will definitely be among the top ten goals of the day.
