Chapter 317: Is This a Half-Time Check-in?
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks finally took out all their starters, and it seemed that they were also starting to be anxious, after all, they were 20 points behind at halftime, which would actually be anxious no matter which team they changed.
After all, the current era is still the era when the inside line is king, not the era of small balls in later generations, you must know that in the era of small balls, no matter how much you are basically behind, you will not be in a hurry.
Because the three-point is king, if you really shoot three-pointers, even if you fall behind by 30 points at halftime, you can easily bring it back.
In the third quarter, although Adelman was on the bench five, he changed the lineup, first of all, Lowry's position, after Beverley showed his potential, Adelman decisively replaced Lowry with Beverley.
Although Lowry has a good defense, a good three-point range, and even several times better physical fitness than Beverley, Lowry is not as capable of putting pressure on ball-carriers as Beverley.
Beverley was different, relying on his mad dog defense, he actually let Bubajo lose the ball several times in the second quarter, and was stealed twice in the few shots.
This kind of defensive oppression is what Adelman likes, after all, although the five-small lineup moves fast and has a fast pace, it is relatively not high, and it is very gambling.
But after having Ye Hao and Beverley, Adelman feels that he can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the inside of the five-small lineup is always a hard injury, although there is Hayes in the center position, he is used to playing this position, so let him fight against the center, he can do it, and even with experience, it is possible to prevent the opponent from dying.
But what about the location of Omae? With the same height suppression, although Adelman has a summer, he can't do a good defense in the face of most big forwards in the summer, but Ye Hao is different, he can completely limit these big forwards outside the penalty area by relying on the advantage of strength, so that as long as the opponent's big forward can't enter the penalty area, the danger caused is still very small.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Beverley did not have a little humility in the face of an old player like Kidd, and the physical confrontation again and again made it very difficult for Kidd to control the ball, and even when Kidd wanted to pass the ball in the end, he was stealed by Beverley.
Stealing Kidd's pass, Beverley dribbled the ball and rushed directly to the basket, but compared to Beverley, Ye Hao undoubtedly rushed faster, Beverley just rushed to the free throw line, Ye Hao had already rushed to the basket, but Beverley had to give up his layup, and handed the ball to Ye Hao under the basket with an empty catch.
Looking at the basketball on his head, Ye Hao stopped, and after being optimistic about the position of the basketball, he jumped high on a dry land, and then pressed the basketball into the basket fiercely.
"Bang!"
64:41
"Oh my God! Oh, my God! Is this a center? Maybe I'm hallucinating in front of my eyes, isn't it the duty of the big guys to take this kind of space? But what about Ye Hao! He's only 203! He's nearly a head shorter than the big guys! Barkley began to roar in surprise.
"Maybe he's a center hidden in the body of a small forward, but this kind of dunk is really rare, no running, no borrowing, just kicking can actually press the basketball, it's really crazy."
"Oh, Smith, you know, I suddenly think I'm a lucky person, even though my era was a god, but I think this era is even crazier! These two Chinese boys are also gods, right? Don't refute it yet, you can't deny them in terms of physical fitness, their bodies are probably more crazy than Jordan, Kobe, and Maddy, aren't they? Barkley said slowly.
Although he didn't have a report on the body of Xia and Ye Hao, but judging from the game alone, Barkley really felt that the physical transcendence of these two people had knocked on, and you must know that Jordan's original body was also extremely terrifying.
But compared to these two, Barkley didn't know why he suddenly felt that Jordan could go home and drink milk, because compared to Jordan's body, the bodies of these two people are really more terrifying.
Under the Rockets' bench lineup, the Mavericks slowly began to collapse, of course, not that they are not strong, but their ability to protect the basket may be the worst in the league after the absence of Chandler.
And the Rockets, as a team that likes to attack the basket, the Mavericks can be said to be eaten by them, and more importantly, the Mavericks are not without a good inside, but Dirk doesn't dare to change defenses or assist defense, after all, as long as Dirk leaves Ye Hao, he will shoot three points, who can stand it? So Carlisle can only say a word about this, and try to protect the basket as much as possible.
In this way, it seems that the Mavericks' basket can only rely on Masimmy to make up for the defense, after all, Hayes's shooting ability is not very good, and Carlisle's words are also very clear about his meaning, Masimmy, you try to protect the basket, others must guard their own players, and don't let them have an easy chance to shoot.
But even so, the calf can't defend himself against the rocket, because the rocket is so powerful! In the face of Ye Hao's speed, Dirk is really a little helpless, although he still thinks that he is still young, but it cannot be denied that he is now a thirty-year-old man.
After the end of the third quarter, the score of the Mavericks still did not close, so Carlisle had to give up the game, but even so, the Rockets finally won the Mavericks with a lead of 29 points, all of which needless to say why, it can only be said that the Mavericks lost too wrongly, and after Chandler left, the current Mavericks are now really anyone can come to their restricted area to spread wild.
And this also includes the Rockets' bench players, after both sides came off the bench, Adelman also completely lost the desire to watch, because today's Mavericks completely gave up in the fourth quarter after they were caught off guard, and Adelman, the substitute for the Mavericks, really couldn't arouse a little interest.
By the end of the game, the Rockets won the victory with a high score of 115:94, and the top scorer was Ye Hao's 17-10 with 23 points!
Compared with Ye Hao, the 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the summer game are indeed a bit not enough, but there is no way, there are a total of 12 shots in the whole game in the summer, of which only 13 minutes have been played, and the whole half of the game has not been played.
Although the data has become less and the playing time has decreased, the summer doesn't care at all, after all, it's okay to win the game, and the summer cares more about the championship than the data.
If the Rockets can't win the championship in this year's lineup, then stop playing, and more importantly, when this year, Harden's rookie contract will expire, and then Hassan's contract will expire in another year, and it will be a bit difficult to keep them all at that time.
And then not to mention that there are other players, now the Rockets' players can be said to be worth a lot, and if they want to use the base salary to keep them at that time, they will know that it is impossible to use their butts at all.
Although Summer was very excited after winning the game, he went back to the locker room and took out his mobile phone to search for the situation on the Jazz side for the first time, and Summer couldn't help but smile bitterly after watching it.
As he expected, the Jazz also defeated the Lakers with Kobe Bryant with high scores after the big change, and the performances of Irving and Leonard also surprised TNT's new commentator O'Neal.
Even the Jazz players began to chant that this was a sign of their rise, whether it was Irving or Leonard, they all showed their corresponding strength in this game.
One offense and one defense, the two worked together to score 32 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists and 6 steals, and this is just that Leonard did not develop the offense, if Leonard developed the offense, he felt that no matter how much Irving and Leonard could do it, the score would have doubled today.
"Well, this is a fierce rival, if it weren't for the Jazz, I would have thought this year's championship would be secure." Summer couldn't help but sigh....
