Chapter 254 254, Broken Ball
The Suns played very casually all day, and except for Booker, everyone else didn't seem to be very happy to even move one step more.
Halfway through the first quarter, the score had been stretched to 10 points, and the Rockets were 18-8, exactly 10 points ahead.
In this kind of game, even Cheng Lei didn't think it was interesting, and after playing for a while, he began to lose his energy, so he simply assisted his teammates to score.
De Shuai saw that the score was easily opened, so he began to study new tactics, and constantly replaced some newcomers to run in.
As for Cheng Lei, it was Deshuai who put it on the finale, and did not replace Cheng Lei.
As for the bench, Harden and Paul were dressed like each other, chatting happily there, and there were some laughter from time to time, and they didn't know what the two were talking about, with a happy face.
De Shuai's face was relaxed, and he was discussing the new lineup with the assistant coach.
After Cheng Lei was bored for a while, he found a new thing to do, that is, to brush his own assists, there is still a long way to go before his three hundred assists, this game, maybe he can break a few more.
As a result, the Suns' offense became more difficult, and Cheng Lei always watched the movement of the ball.
The Suns players passed the ball roughly, which gave Cheng Lei a good chance, no, Cheng Lei immediately grabbed an opportunity.
Booker did not shake off Cheng Lei, he could only choose to pass the ball out, and he also saw Monroe, who was in a better position.
However, his passing start was too obvious, Cheng Lei didn't need to guess much, he knew the movement of his pass, and the moment he passed the ball, Cheng Lei also moved.
Directly kicked a step with his foot, and the whole person rushed out, reaching out and directly scooping the ball down.
The players at the end of the Rockets' bench, who usually act as water cooler managers in the game, have no chance to play, and today they got such a good opportunity to play, of course, they have to show themselves.
Therefore, after Cheng Lei broke the ball, they immediately ran back at full speed.
"Everyone is very positive!" Harden said approvingly.
"Compared to the Suns, the mentality of our players is much better than theirs!"
The players of the Rockets team are so active in the fast attack, the players of the Suns are still slow behind, and the pursuit of defense is not very active, Cheng Lei directly made a long pass and assisted his teammates to score two points.
The second quarter is in such a boring rhythm, near the end, the Rockets in the second quarter, has led the Suns by 25 points, if it is not for the ordinary tempering lineup, this lead may be even greater.
At halftime, the Rockets players generally felt that they didn't have much strength today, and some teammates began to fantasize about how good it would be if they met such an opponent every time.
Cheng Lei is still quite happy, in the entire first half, after his continuous efforts, he actually got four steals, and in previous games, he only got four steals at most.
Today it seems that there is no problem in breaking his best steal record.
In the lounge, there is no such easy situation again, the game is only halfway through, some teammates began to listen to the music and get high, where is this like a game, the usual team training, the atmosphere is more tense than now.
"Ray, you go off the court in the third quarter, and if the score is close, you're on the court!" D'Antoni said as he came in.
At the beginning of the third quarter, all the teammates on the court were some teammates who usually couldn't play, and the game situation on the court suddenly became chaotic.
There are all kinds of mistakes on the field, and on the Rockets' side, after the lack of a commander on the field, the players seem to have become unsure of how to play.
No matter who you are, when you get the ball, you want to rush inside, you want to play singles.
Although the Suns are rotten, but, now, the Rockets look down on people too much, right? What kind of people are they on?
I originally wanted to be like this until the end, at the beginning, their current players are not angry, what can be done if they can't shoot themselves.
Monroe and Chandler are on the inside, there is no pressure at all, all kinds of rebounds, grabbing all over the sky, and the data is beautiful, which is also what they didn't expect, in this case, the Rockets will actually send warmth.
Booker didn't have Cheng Lei to defend, he was quite happy, and his style of play suddenly became fierce.
went on a rampage all the way, and he scored eight points in a row, and he actually pulled the score closer.
"Coach, if this continues, the advantage will be eaten away!" Capela looked at the score that was getting closer and closer little by little, and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, let them fight more and get used to it!" Coach D'Antoni said calmly.
From time to time, he also took out the tactical board and worked on new tactics with the assistant coaches.
Young man, still easy to be impulsive, Booker actually began to get proud after hitting the smooth, and after throwing a three-pointer again, this guy actually raised his hands and made a provocative move.
Good guy, there are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is called the king, this guy, he looked very honest just now, and now he is pretending, right to take off.
"Coach, the newcomers to the Suns last year were crazy!" Harden said, taking off his suit.
"Oh, newcomer, it's good to be a little angry, Ray, you're ready to play and put out the fire for him!" De Shuai said calmly to Cheng Lei.
"Do you hear me, Ray, I'm ready to play!" Paul took off the towel on Cheng Lei's head and said.
"Huh? Is it time for me to play? Cheng Lei was just draped in a towel, thinking about something else in his mind, and Cheng Lei reacted to Paul's reminder.
Quickly stood up and began to warm up briefly, and after the dead ball, Cheng Lei was replaced on the field.
With four steals and less than five minutes left in the third quarter, is there still a few steals left?
It is impossible to break the record, Cheng Lei has checked it before, and now there are eleven single-game steal records, and they are all ancient records, if you want to break this record, it is almost impossible, you need the right time, place and people, all of which are indispensable.
"Booker, you've made our two bigwigs unhappy!" After Cheng Lei came on the court, he said seriously.
"What if you're unhappy? Have the ability to let them play! ”
"They don't want to play, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, but the task they gave me is to solve you!" Cheng Lei said with a smile, but this smile is obviously not a kind smile, Cheng Lei is ready to move seriously.
"Hehe... A newcomer, what qualifications do you have? ”
Saying that, Booker began to move, and after a year of training, Booker's progress is very obvious, and he also has good strength.
kept shaking his body, and then looked for a chance to try to break through Cheng Lei.
Want to break through yourself? Then give you this opportunity, Cheng Lei thought to himself, and deliberately sold a flaw, exposing some gaps in his right side.
Booker thought he had shaken Cheng Lei, and when he saw this opportunity, he rushed over without hesitation.
Cheng Lei smiled at the corner of his mouth, and when Booker passed by him, he immediately took a step, and then directly pulled it towards Booker's left hand that dribbled.
The purpose is to break the ball, after Booker easily broke through, he was overjoyed, instinctively relaxed his vigilance, and then, only to feel that his hand was empty, and the ball was gone.
