The two raised their hands at the same time, and the positions of both of them were relatively inward, and the referee was originally going to blow Howard for a foul, but after Cody kept raising his hand to signal that he had fouled, he could only choose to watch the replay on the spot.

The overlap of the two figures, the replay is not very clear, Cody kept signaling that he had fouled, and the referee finally gave the foul to Cody.

After all, this is the home court of the Hornets, and the referees more or less need to take care of the feelings of the home team, and if this foul is counted on Howard, then the Hornets will be really uncomfortable.

The midfield coach's set-up worked well, and with Cody in his protection, Howard's foul chances would be much smaller.

Capela made two free throws, missed the first one, and on the second free throw, Capela slowed down, adjusted his touch, and took the ball in.

Throughout the first half of the third quarter, the Rockets, under the control of Paul and Harden, continued to impact the Hornets' interior line, which gave Howard a headache, especially the European step after Harden broke through, which made Howard very unhappy.

Just under your nose, twist left, twist right, and then make a small throw.

Although the action is not very fast, the rhythm is just right, and every time Marvin Williams looks like he can prevent Harden, the result is a beat slower.

Howard couldn't help it, and after driving out of the European Department of Harden, the moment he was about to make a move, he pounced directly and jumped up to block.

Harden is also happy, he has been looking for Howard, this guy just won't be fooled, he won't come out, and now, he finally can't help it.

He writhed in the air, grabbed the ball with both hands, and did not choose to throw it, but reached directly towards Howard's arm.

took the initiative to lean the ball on Howard, and the whole person was empty, and it also fell in the direction of Howard.

Syllable...

Howard slapped the ball directly and slapped it out, and the two landed almost at the same time.

After landing, Harden first stumbled, then squatted on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands, showing great pain.

Toot toot...

The whistle sounded anyway, and this time, without Cody's protection, Howard received another foul.

"FUCK, grass," Howard was extremely dissatisfied with Harden, and his mouth began to explode directly.

Seeing that Howard was on the verge of an outburst, Cody blocked Howard, and Walker directly moved Howardra away from Harden.

With four fouls on his back, only halfway through the third quarter, and the score still behind, the coach of the Hornets decisively called a timeout to calm the players' emotions.

He decided to take a go and not replace Howard for the time being.

Harden won another free throw opportunity for himself, and after seeing the decision, Harden still covered his face with his hands and squatted in place.

After Paul and Cheng Lei went up, the two of them subdued him, and after walking on the court for a while, Harden first bared his teeth and looked in pain, and then slowly walked towards the free throw line.

People who don't know really think that Harden has suffered a lot of injuries.

A master, sure enough, a master, since he has to foul early, then, the actions must be complete, Cheng Lei feels that with Harden's ability, he will not be able to learn it in his life.

Jordan, the owner of the Hornets, watched this scene off the court, and angrily pinched off the disposable cup in his hand, if it was placed in his own era, Harden would have been beaten like this.

The Rockets played smoothly, the Hornets were like this, Howard could only take it, and the overall offense became very unsmooth, and in the back, Howard left the interior and ran to the free throw line.

In this position, for Howard, who is not shooting well, the threat ability has dropped by more than half.

When Walker saw this situation, he was also anxious, and at this time, when the whole team couldn't open, he could only rely on himself.

The Hornets attacked, Walker controlled the ball, and in the face of Paul's defense, he was not as entangled as he was, and after a huge crotch dribble in disguise, he cut into the three-point line without the slightest pause.

"Has this guy been beaten with chicken blood!" Even Paul was taken aback, this kind of full-speed disguise, if you don't handle it well, it can easily cause an ankle injury.

Surprised to surprised, Paul followed at full speed, chasing Walker.

In another big body disguise, Walker made a high-speed push toward Howard near the free-throw line.

Howard took his position early, like a block, firmly blocking Paul's path.

Just such a passing gap, Walker directly stopped the jump shot and threw the ball very steadily.

",!" Paul clapped his hands in annoyance, knowing that he should have bypassed Howard first.

"Calm down, we still have one of them!" Cheng Lei ran past Paul, patted him on the shoulder and said.

The Rockets attacked, Cheng Lei ran over early, and began to ambush at the bottom corner of the three-point line on the weak side.

After Paul passed the half, he began to look for offensive opportunities, and the Hornets' defense was not bad, at least there were no leaks.

It was still a double rush to the inside, the classic breakthrough ball, Cheng Lei waited patiently in the bottom corner, Paul found an opportunity and passed the ball directly.

Batum saw Paul's intentions, and the moment Cheng Lei received the ball, Batum had already moved quickly.

Cheng Lei clicked, shook off Batum who pounced, and then, after dribbling to the side, he shot directly into three points.

It's not good, the ball can't go in, as soon as the ball is shot, Cheng Lei realized that the ball was a little lighter, and the arc was wrong, and then, predicted the position where the rebound would bounce, and quickly ran towards the predicted position.

Howard got stuck under the basket, Cody was about to grab the rebound, and Cheng Lei was already jumping towards the bouncing ball.

Their hands touched the ball almost simultaneously, and each of them clicked, and the ball flew in the other direction.

Marvin Williams was strong in front of Harden, received the ball in his hand, and then ran directly to his own frontcourt without looking back, and played a fast break.

Harden uncharacteristically chased after him, always following Marvin Williams.

"When did Harden become so aggressive defensively?"

"Didn't we see a fake Harden!" The commentators were also quite surprised to see Harden's pursuit of defense.

Marvin went all the way to the basket, regardless of whether there was Harden behind him, jumped high, ready to dunk with one hand.

When Harden saw this formation, he also knew that he couldn't block it, so he didn't jump, so he stood on the ground and was ready to serve.

The ball landed, Marvin didn't react yet, Harden served on the bottom line, a long pass, the ball passed half the court, and it went directly to Paul's hands, and the Hornets players didn't react yet, Paul opened his hand to make a three-pointer.

The goal was scored and everything was done in a very short time.
