The game continued, Hassan, who played confidently, ran to the low post to ask for the ball again, Harden looked at Hassan's position and wanted to pass the ball, but found that the Magic player's position intentionally or unintentionally cut off the connection between the two.

There was no way for Harden to beckon Hassan to come over and cover, hoping to pass the ball to Hassan by relying on the opportunity to cover quickly.

Hassan came over to cover, and the two of them went down at the same time, of course, the defenders still didn't change, after all, it was unrealistic to let Arenas defend Hassan, after all, height represents justice.

So Arenas followed Harden closely, hoping to save out and cover his layup or steal his pass at a critical moment, but is Harden really so easy to steal or block?

The answer, of course, is no, a fake shot and a real pass Harden successfully helped Hassan, and a sound of bombing sounded throughout the court, and Hassan was already hanging on the basket.

56:46

The score was stretched to 10 points again, and there was still a full minute left before the end of the second quarter, but it always felt that the Rockets played with ease.

Magic offense, Arenas reproduced a life-saving three-pointer, came to the frontcourt to face Harden, and the basketball fell into the basket steadily, which made the Magic's bench excited.

This is Arenas' fourth three-pointer in this game, and it is also the fourth time that Arenas has scored Harden in this game, and Arenas's score has also broken through the single digit to 12 points.

With 54 seconds left, Harden looked at Arenas unhappily and began to look at Summer, as if he wanted to come alone, and Summer could only nod his head.

When Harden was in place, everyone opened up the position with great interest, ready to watch Harden play Arenas alone, of course, on the other hand, everyone also did a good job of Harden's unsuccessful pass.

Watching Arenas Harden dribble under his crotch with a rhythm that he hadn't used for a long time, once under his crotch and twice with his crotch, Harden suddenly broke through realistically, Arenas observed Harden's movements and took a step back, while blocking his right hand to prevent Harden from breaking through with his left hand.

But no matter how realistic Harden's realistic breakthrough is, it is impossible to really break through, just after Arenas took a step back, Harden also stepped back, and then made a three-point shot.

Although Arenas shouted in his heart when he saw this, it was useless, this position was too open, and even if Arenas jumped up and wanted to interfere, he did not succeed in interfering.

"Huh"

The ball fell into the net, and Harden responded with his actions to what Arenas did to him in this game, since you love Yan so much, then I can't be bad.

59:49

With 35 seconds left before half-time, both sides had one more attack.

Magic offense Arenas steadily controlled the ball in his own hands and retreated near the midfield, it seems that he is not ready to attack, but this is fine, at least the Magic can have enough time to play this attack.

With 12 seconds left in the offensive time, Anderson ran over to make a cover for Arenas, who immediately ran towards Anderson's side, and Anderson saw Arenas running and ran to a 45-degree angle on the other side.

And Richardson, who had just stabbed again, also made room for Anderson early, and after a while, Scola ran after Anderson and defended by his side.

Seeing that the Rockets did not change their defenses just now, and Harden did not follow for the time being, Arenas began to break through to the inside, ready to attract the bag to see if he could create opportunities for his teammates on the outside.

Sure enough, just as Arenas was breaking through, Summer was running over at the right time to delay Arenas' breakthrough, but at this moment, Bass began to run to the ground and cut inside.

Seeing that Bass was unguarded, Arenas hurriedly passed a through ball to Bass's hand, and then Arenas ran outside the three-point line, ready to see Bath's organization.

Bass took the ball and wanted to break through, but when he saw Arenas running to the top of the arc, there was no one in front of him, and Arenas looked at Bath's pass with surprise in his eyes.

But before Arenas could praise him, Scola split up and prepared to defend Arenas, but Hassan's departure left Anderson empty.

Arenas hurriedly passed to Anderson, Anderson made a three-point shot, and with a crisp sound, the basketball successfully entered the net.

59:52

The Rockets' offense was also time-consuming, but in the last 3 seconds, Harden made a pass error, and the basketball was forced by Anderson to be scorched, and Scola didn't catch it and was cut off.

With 2.4 seconds left to cut off the basketball, Arenas had already run past the midfield, Anderson gave a long pass to Arenas, and Arenas received the ball with 1.6 seconds left, accelerating, throwing high.

59:54

Although Arenas wanted to dunk just now, he gave up on the idea based on the time and his speed, and fortunately the ball went into the net.

In the end, the Rockets came into the second half with a five-point lead.

The game restarted, the Rockets starters all returned to the court, while the Magic side had only Arenas and Howard on the court, and even Richardson, the best sixth man, was also out of the game.

As soon as the game started, the Rockets made the Magic suffer a big loss with the suppression of the lineup, Yao Ming on the inside played the monster infinitely, and Harden on the outside kept shooting in the summer.

In less than three minutes, the Rockets used a wave of 12:0 attacks to stop the Magic, and there was no way, even though Anderson, Richardson and others had a short break, but they were still sent back to the court after the timeout.

This is the second strong team to be defeated by the Rockets in the third quarter, counting the previous Celtics, at this moment the fans seem to really see hope and see the Rockets take off!

Even Summer's family, who was watching the live broadcast in China here, applauded very happily, because New Year's Day was approaching, and Xia's father and Natsume also returned to China early and did not continue to stay in Houston.

"Well done! is worthy of the species of our Xia family, the second child, your family gave birth to a good baby! Old Man Xia said excitedly.

And Xia Weimin smiled shyly and said lightly, "No, it's better than Dad, your genes are good, otherwise there is no such thing as this kid." ”

"Haha, you kid can talk a little, you two learn from the second, one can't talk when you go to the military, even if you go to the military, the boss can't speak when you go to the official path, it's a shame, and now you still want Lao Tzu to settle things for you, what do you eat as an official." Old Man Xia looked at Xia Weiguo angrily, very angry.

Xia Weiguo had no choice but to giggle when he saw this, after all, after being his son for so many years, Xia Weiguo still knew his old man's temper, "Dad, Dad, let's continue to watch the game, the game is not over yet." ”

After Xia Weiguo changed the topic, Xia Xin seemed to see the embarrassment of his uncle, and helped Xia Weiguo say, "Yes, grandpa, let's continue to watch the game, the summer game is good, I believe that the Olympics in two years will definitely shock the world." ”

was told by his grandson that Xia Guomin did not continue to dwell on what had just happened, but instead watched the game intently, but in his heart he looked at the Olympics the year after tomorrow.

As Xia Xin said, the Olympics in the year after tomorrow may be a signal of the rise of Chinese basketball, with the combination of Xia and Yao Ming, Xia Guomin doesn't believe that he will not be able to hit the championship this time!
