Chapter 249: Another Free Throw Line Dunk!
Three minutes into the second quarter, because of the absence of Summer and Harden, Yao Ming undoubtedly became the leading scorer on the lineup, making 5 three-point shots and hitting 3 balls.
But compared to Yao Ming's performance, Hayward's performance is undoubtedly more highlight, without the defense of the summer, Battier can't prevent it even if he can't defend it!
Hayward was like escaping the cage, scoring 10 points in a row under Battier's tight defense! And this is very only 6 shots, compared to Yao Ming's efficiency is really much higher.
42:36
In the first quarter, the double-digit lead that Summer and Harden teamed up to cut was chased by Hayward alone to only 6 points, but even so Adelman sat firmly on the bench and had no intention of putting Summer and Hayward in the slightest.
As the game continued, Yao Ming organized his teammates at the free-throw line, and when he saw Dragic enter the interior through Scola's cover, he hit a through ball and passed the basketball to his hands.
Dragic caught the ball and jumped up, ready to stage a violent dunk, but at this time Hayward came out from the side, a big hand raised high, and slapped the ball in Dragic's hand.
"Smack"
The basketball was covered on the ground, and Dragic also fell weakly under the basket, but fortunately, Scola was not far from the basketball and directly held the basketball in his arms with a flying pounce.
"Yao!" Scola lay on the ground and yelled, Yao Ming hurriedly ran to his side to take the basketball, but at this time Yao Ming's side was already surrounded by Jazz players.
"Interesting, but I'm taller than you!" Looking at the jazz player Yao Ming who wanted to interfere with his pass, the jazz player Yao Ming couldn't help but sneer, and then a fake pass directly attracted the attention of the outside player.
Golden opportunity! Yao Ming hurriedly pushed Elson behind him, and then shot directly after pushing away Elson.
"Huh"
44:36
This is a special show of IQ! Everyone looked at Yao Ming with resentment, and when Yao Ming performed a fake pass, they all thought that Yao Ming would pass the ball.
As a result, Yao Ming came by himself! If this is not a show of intelligence, what is it?
Jazz offense, Hayward felt unabated, and continued to hit some difficult shots to stop the bleeding for the team, until the end of the half quarter Hayward had those 17 points!
A terrifying score, Adelman couldn't sit still and called a timeout, and then urged Summer and Harden to hurry up and replace Yao Ming, and not only that, Adelman's change can be regarded as a big change.
Lowry, Harden, Summer, Hayes, Hassan, Adelman upgraded him in the original five-small lineup, because he played for so long, Adelman also felt that it was really not good to have a tall man on the inside.
Fortunately, Hassan's athleticism is good, so Adelman also sent him up, so that the rocket's firepower can be upgraded to the limit, you must know that Hayes has also practiced a good three-point hand now.
The Rockets served, Lowry received the ball quickly, and it was time to speed up the pace, so Adelman didn't let Summer and Harden organize the team's offense, or it was really tiring to want them to release their firepower and want them to organize.
Forget about the regular season, the playoffs, a place where playing twice as hard as the regular season, Adelman doesn't dare to play big, and it's true that every step is true.
Lowry came to the frontcourt, and Summer came over to receive the ball hand-to-hand, and then Harden also ran over to make a hand-to-hand catch, and after receiving it, Harden didn't move with the ball.
In the summer, after handing over the ball, he made a block for Harden, and then after the block, the two began to cut inside at full speed, and seeing that both of them were out of the first line of defense, the Jazz's interior began to hesitate.
Who is this going to help with? Millsap couldn't come in again because of defending Hayes, and now he was on his own! Elson glanced at Hassan, who was beside him, and ran to the basket.
Why don't you just wait for them here? See who makes the layup and block whom, Elson has no choice but to think of such a bad way, if they want to shoot, then they can only watch them shoot.
Summer took the lead into the restricted area, and then Harden gave him the ball, and Summer took the ball and jumped up, and Elson's eyes lit up when he saw this! This must be the end of summer, and then pounced, but Summer didn't mean to go to the basket at all, holding the ball in his hand and slowly putting it behind his head, and then letting go of his little hand.
Basketball fell directly behind Summer, and Harden had already arrived.
Not good! It's Harden! It's over, my second bounce is terrible! Is it just to watch him go to the basket? No, no! I'm going to have to cover him! Elson thought as he jumped to Harden again after hitting the ground.
However, this second bounce was indeed too short, and Elson Harden even shook his head, with a look of compassion in his eyes, and then threw the ball to the other side of the basket with one hand.
"Ahh ~β
"Bang!"
A deafening voice rang out behind Elson, and he knew if it was Hassan's voice, or if they had succeeded in the fight. Elson's heart is a little unwilling, obviously he has worked so hard!
52:49
The score was stretched to three points again, and the Rockets' faces showed a look of joy.
"Elson, serve." Hayward patted Elson on the shoulder and said.
"Eun, okay." Listening to Hayward's gentle words, Elson's face showed a reluctant smile and he came out of bounds.
Jazz offense, looking at the Rockets' lineup, Hayward is no longer competing with them, let's play the position without Yao Ming playing the position, anyway, compared to the summer and Harden or Yao Ming's position is more threatening.
"Yo, I'm back, happy, miss me?" Summer said cheaply.
Hayward didn't bother with this at all, and wanted to interfere with me? Impossible, good, bad!
Dribbling at the top of the arc, suddenly Elson came over to make a cover for Hayward, and after the summer was not inked, he directly pushed Hassan, and then followed Elson back to the inside.
Hassan defensively, Hayward's eyebrows furrowed, you must know that he is not a small forward who is good at speed, so he really doesn't like small and big fights.
On the other hand, he prefers short defenders to defend him, so he can rely on the rhythm to face the opponent.
Forget it, pass the ball, Elson played the wrong position, although the defender is in the summer, but he should be able to play, after all, the height difference is a bit much, looking at Elson's 213 tall Hayward, I couldn't help but think.
Then a high-profile ball passed the basketball to Elson on the inside, who received the ball because it was still a little far from the basket, so he chose to hit the top with his back a few times, but this one was surprised.
I can't even hold it! Elson looked at Summer and thought to himself, is this James in particular?
There is no way, you can only use your feet if you can't move, although your steps are not too good, but Elson thinks that he should still be able to eat one in the summer by relying on his height.
However, when Elson moved to the front of the basket with a jump step, he found that the ball was gone! hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see that Summer had already dribbled the ball to his three-point line.
βshitοΌβ With a loud scolding, Elson accelerated frantically and ran towards the backfield.
But isn't it too late to react at this time? Summer dribbled the ball to the maximum horsepower, and by the time he reached the three-point line, he was left with no Jazz players.
Holding her breath deeply, Summer watched as the Jazz's basket began to adjust her pace, and then jumped high from the free throw line! Then he skated and dunked for two points.
"Whew~ It's so cool." Summer hung on the basket and exhaled as if she was enjoying it.
"It's a free-throw line dunk again! Oh, my God! Am I watching God play? Even Jordan wouldn't dare to play this in real combat! It's crazy, it's crazy! This is Summer! It's summer! A Crazy Boy! Barkley stood up straight after seeing Summer's dunk, after all, this is so awesome!
If you don't stand up, Barkley really doesn't know how to calm the excitement in his heart!
