Chapter 262 262, Team Rocket Force

The second quarter of the game quickly came to an end, and the Grizzlies' big man had significantly reduced his physical strength, and he could no longer keep up with the rhythm of the Rockets' all-out running.

Seeing that the Rockets played their own rhythm, the coach of the Grizzlies could only watch and be anxious, without half a court, in order to let the players better cope with the second half of the game, he directly replaced several big men.

Now, the opportunity for the Rockets came, and the Grizzlies' small lineup was not the Rockets' opponent at all, and after a messy battle, the Rockets successfully took a five-point lead at the end of the second quarter.

Compared with the Grizzlies players, the physical fitness of the Rockets players is obviously much better, and with the blessing of Cheng Lei's black technology drink, there is no problem with the physical recovery of the players in the second half.

During halftime, there was harmony in the Rockets' lounge, and Harden actually organized everyone to listen to music and swing with him.

This energetic music, coupled with Harden's writhing body, makes it look like a nightclub, no wonder many people on the team call Harden the little prince of nightclubs.

Unlike the harmony on the Rockets' side, the Grizzlies players seized the time to relax and rest, and the team arranged a special press-moss division to relieve fatigue.

At the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies still sent the bench first, and it seemed that they were ready to let the main players rest a little more in the third quarter, and then, until the end of the game.

The Rockets are all on the court, seizing the opportunity to take away the game in a wave.

After coming up, the Grizzlies have the ball, and they now have a main force on the court, that is, point guard Conley, if Conley is not even there at this time, the Grizzlies basically don't play.

Parsons did not play very well against Cheng Lei, so the Grizzlies coach put him on the bench and put Evans, who had a better effect on Cheng Lei, into the main lineup.

After Parsons entered the bench lineup, he didn't have any worries, and the offense became active, anyway, the playing time was limited, so he didn't have to think about physical fitness and tried to play.

However, now facing the Rockets with an all-main lineup, the Grizzlies can only pray now that they don't be stretched too big by the score before the all-main team plays.

With the cooperation of Conley and Parsons, now, Conley needs to take on the burden of offense more, and his style of play has begun to favor Wiesbrock.

After Parsons' lateral pick-and-roll, Conley dribbled close to the inside.

However, now, the interior of the bench is not enough to help him block a shot position under the basket, so Conley can only choose to shoot in the middle.

Moreover, the timing of the mid-range shot must be before Paul catches up.

Therefore, the opportunity time was very short, and as soon as the block was over, Conley took two steps inside at full speed and chose to shoot.

Conley's preferred position, where he shot from the left side of the free-throw line, scored two points without a hitch.

As soon as the ball was thrown, Conley directed his players to start retreating, and now, after the Rockets picked up the speed, if they didn't hurry up and retreated, they would soon be attacking.

Sure enough, after Anderson's baseline serve, Paul ran quickly, and the wings Harden and Cheng Lei also advanced quickly, one left and one right appeared outside the 45-point line on both sides.

Wait for the inside players to come out and do the pick-and-roll.

Anderson ran to Harden, decisively helped Harden make a pick-and-roll, and then directly exited the three-point line, and Harden ran inside.

Paul gave the ball to Anderson as soon as possible, the big tall man, outside the three-point range, and it was easy to shoot.

After Anderson received the ball, he didn't make too many moves and shot directly into the three-point shot.

It may be halftime, the hand is a little cold, and the three-point frame comes out, but fortunately, without Marc Gasol on the inside, Capela jumped in it and finally took the rebound.

Good guy, after winning the rebound, he just went all out, and the Grizzlies' bench interior line was still lacking, and he directly resisted Capela and scored two points on the board.

Coming back, the Grizzlies' ball possession, this time, after Parsons received the ball, he actually sneaked one directly outside the three-point line, looking at the very flat flight arc, the ball actually went in.

Turning around, Cheng Lei directly hit Parsons with a time difference, and when he didn't stand firm on his feet, he made a three-point shot directly and hit it.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Grizzlies finally called a timeout and replaced them with all their main players.

However, their goal was also achieved, and after coming off the bench, under the leadership of Conley and Parsons, the team's score was only stretched to eight points, which was not as big as expected.

After the whole main force came on, he looked full of confidence, and Marc Gasol took the lead in the attack.

The physical strength has recovered to a good state, and the inside line itself is an advantage, and he will eat Capela as soon as he comes up.

Knock knock... After dribbling the ball twice, the body sank and the back was slammed.

After getting stuck in a position, directly transfer a hook hand, and the action is done in one go, and the two points are in hand.

The more nervous it is, the more careless Conley becomes, the strength of the Rockets is too strong to give them this kind of opportunity.

All the Grizzlies players also have a very tacit understanding, just after scoring, they don't stay for a moment, and directly return to the defense quickly, not allowing the Rockets to seize the defensive gap.

"Huh? The defense is very fast, which is not their usual style! Harden muttered.

"Brother Deng, catch the ball!" Seeing that Harden was in a daze, Cheng Lei shouted.

Paul's ball had already been passed, and by the time Harden reacted, the ball was almost at his side.

Quickly reached out and almost made a mistake.

This is Harden's old problem, sometimes, he will wait for a while inexplicably, which is why Harden often has a look at the defense, but this season is also much better.

A tentative step with his left foot, when Harden was feintting after Tony Allen, Harden quickly followed with his other foot and broke through with his left hand directly on the same side.

This caught Tony Allen by surprise, and the defenders also had their misjudgments.

Lower your center of gravity and shoot towards the free throw line.

Mark Gasol is in a hurry, but when Harden arrives in this position, he doesn't dare to rush up to make up for the defense, after he goes up, Capela behind him will easily have a chance, and after he goes up, there is a high probability that he will be fouled by Harden.

In such a hesitant moment, Harden had already started to move, and after the European step jumped, he had a one-handed slam dunk with his left hand.

When Cheng Lei completed Harden's dunk, he kept paying attention to Wright, who was about to take the ball and prepare to send the sideline ball, and then looked at Conley's position relatively backward, so he immediately made a bold decision.

He decided to take a risky gamble and steal Conley at the time of the free throw.

The ball came out, Cheng Lei also rushed over at full speed, Conley stretched out one hand to catch the ball, and the other hand was still directing his teammates to run.

Cheng Lei quickly rushed up from the side, and before Wright could remind him, the ball was caught by Cheng Lei.

rushed directly to the basket, and after Wright entered the court, he stood directly under the basket and wanted to block Cheng Lei, but at this time Cheng Lei had already jumped high.

Like a tight bowstring, with an indomitable momentum.

Bang! After pushing Wright in the air, he poured the ball into it with both hands.
