Chapter 244 244, Paul and Lowry
After the Raptors changed the main force, the firepower increased greatly, and De Shuai could only change the main force early, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.
DeRozan has already made two mid-range shots in a row, and the hand is really hot, and the Raptors should start focusing on DeRozan.
Cheng Lei actually feels a little weak to defend DeRozan today, like this kind of player who shoots immediately when he blocks an opportunity, to be honest, he doesn't have a good defensive strategy, and can only expect him to shoot himself.
Through the block again, DeRozan estimated that he was pressing towards the inside, and after seeing Ibaka rushing over, he decisively ran back and ran towards the outside.
Bang!
Cheng Lei slammed into Ibaka's body, like hitting a wall.
After DeRozan received the ball smoothly, he turned and hit another mid-range shot, and then scored.
The biggest problem the Rockets are facing now is that after the blocking, Cheng Lei was stopped and could not mark DeRozan for the first time, and Anderson, who was chasing Ibaka, was not very fast, and DeRozan would be one step slower to go around to make up for the defense.
In this way, it gives DeRozan a good time difference to be able to throw the ball comfortably.
After being hit three times in a row by DeRozan in the same way, D'Antoni couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.
"Tucker, you'll be on later!" D'Antoni said, looking at Tucker.
Compared to Anderson, Tucker is faster and more confrontational, but the downside is that he is a little shorter, and he may suffer against Ibaka.
However, fortunately, Ibaka is a big boss, and the offensive means under the basket are not very rich.
After replacing Tucker, the Rockets' advance speed is even faster, and it is obviously a small lineup, and if you play a positional battle, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
After Paul passed half the court, he went straight away.
Boom... Boom... Knock knock...
Harden dribbled hard again and again, and, his body shook rhythmically, he was testing DeRozan.
When Harden decides to play alone, all members of the Rockets will pull away tacitly, draw defenders out as much as possible, and give Harden plenty of space.
Tucker went straight to the bottom left corner and ambushed him, hanging Ibaka out.
Capela mentioned the free-throw line on the right, and Harden's favorite breakaway line was all vacated.
After Harden took a rough look at the position of his teammates, he began to move, shaking step by step, his whole body was full of feints, one step, two steps, suddenly, Harden's body moved to the left, it seemed to break to the left, in fact, Harden's ball dribbled to the right, kicked hard with his left foot, and the whole person rushed to the right.
DeRozan reacted with a full step, but still rushed forward with all his might.
Harden stuck to DeRozan and showed his European step, DeRozan at this time, he wisely kept his distance from Harden, otherwise, it would be easy for Harden to foul.
Harden originally wanted to make DeRozan a foul, but after he started, he found that DeRozan actually didn't chase it, which was a bit boring.
After scoring two points, Harden spread his hands and looked at DeRozan, as if to say, "Why don't you defend!" ”
This expression was caught by the cameras at the scene, and the scene was also constantly defending Harden's goal, as well as the action of the stall in the back.
The audience at the scene shouted even harder.
"The Rockets' home court is really lively!" Lowry sighed.
I used to walk out of here, but fortunately, now that I am back, the fans of the Rockets are no longer "booing" themselves, thinking that back then, the first time I would meet the Rockets after I left, I was booed by the fans here.
Go back to a familiar place, and if you don't do something, you seem to be sorry for the name of your little steel cannon.
The more Lowry held the ball, faced Paul's defense, and after dribbling the ball twice, he accelerated directly and rushed directly towards Paul's right.
Of course, Paul couldn't have let Lowry go in so easily, and went straight to meet him.
Bang!
A dull voice sounded, and the two bodies directly began to fight.
I didn't expect the little steel cannon to play ball so violently, and he directly used his body to open the way, but fortunately, Paul's body is also very strong, if he changes Blake, this time, he will be knocked out directly.
After Lori glanced at Paul, a cross dribble, changed directions, and rushed up again, this little steel cannon is really not in vain.
Bang!
The two collided again, Paul was forced to take two steps back, Lowry still has an advantage in weight, this LeBron-like strong assault makes Paul uncomfortable.
Lowry saw that Paul was knocked away, and after a quick stop, he jumped to the side.
Paul was thinking about it, but it was too late to see Lowry throw the ball.
The ball goes in, and the two points go in.
"Lowry is playing so fiercely now! This seems to be a little sorry for his name as a garbage brother! A Rockets fan teased.
"It's the regular season, please call him Little Cannon, and in the playoffs, call him and DeRozan trash brothers!" Another fan laughed.
"Paul, it's all right!" Cheng Lei walked over to Paul and asked.
I have a deep understanding of this feeling, the last time I played the Cavaliers, I was so attacked by LeBron that I almost couldn't breathe.
"Get used to it!" Paul rubbed his chest and said.
The ball of the Rockets, this time, Paul did not choose to pass the ball directly, obviously, to return Lowry.
Paul dribbled the ball, turned sideways to Lowry, his eyes revealed murderous aura, Lowry obviously sensed Paul's intentions, lowered his center of gravity, and devoted himself to defense.
With his hand stretched out, he made a gesture, and the players consciously pulled it away, and Paul was ready to play alone.
First two disguises, and then quickly made a few crotch dribbles, shaking his body without moving, looking for almost.
Suddenly, Paul's crotch dribble became larger, directly through a crotch dribble, breaking through to the right, Lowry followed up for the first time, Paul changed the ball to the left hand, directly a back dribble, and moved towards the left hand side significantly.
The speed was so fast that even Lowry didn't react immediately.
After a step away, Paul stopped directly on the spot, ready to solve Lowry with a mid-range shot.
"Paul, are you so naïve that you think you can get rid of me?" Lowry sneered and rushed towards Paul.
"Do you think I'm shooting? I was waiting for you on purpose! The corners of Paul's mouth rose as he looked at Lowry, who was jumping.
After taking a small step directly to the side, he jumped up towards Lowry, who was jumping in the air.
Toot toot... The whistle blew and Paul's ball was thrown.
With teammates like Harden on the Rockets, it's hard not to learn to make fouls.
Lowry looked at Paul with a depressed face, unexpectedly, in the end, he still ate his feints.
The more depressing thing was still to come, and the ball actually went straight into the basket.
Two points, plus one free throw.
