After four days of trimming, the eighth, the Rockets flew to the Utah Jazz with all their strength.

The Jazz have always been known for their iron-blooded defense, and although players have changed from generation to generation, this tradition does not seem to have changed.

Moreover, the Jazz have always been the sworn enemies of the Rockets, and they have worked very hard to play the Rockets, and after losing to the Rockets last time, they are bound to use all their energy to face the Rockets at home this time.

The addition of Rubio has made the Jazz team's offense much smoother, and the growth of Gobert on the inside has kept the Jazz from falling out of the playoff list.

The Jazz team's performance this year also surprised their fans, playing well, and achieving results that everyone was more satisfied with.

The team's performance is good, naturally, there are more fans who come to watch now, no, the Jazz and Rockets game, there is no empty space in the stadium, and the stands with better locations are almost full.

"Wow, there are a lot of fans from the Jazz team today!" In the locker room, Paul said.

"If the team's performance is good, of course the fans will buy it! What's more, their opponent today is us! Harden said proudly.

Now the Rockets are undoubtedly one of the most popular teams in the league, and every time the Rockets play, the team will always have more than usual, backed by such a large market, which makes many teams envious.

Soon, the players entered, and the Jazz fans on the scene were still very united, and as soon as all the Rockets walked out of the players' tunnel, a wave of boos rang out, welcoming the Rockets to the Jazz Devils' home court.

"Look, the fans are enthusiastic!" Harden said jokingly.

"Looks like this game is going to be a big fight!" Cheng Lei said with a basket.

Over there, Rubio was already standing outside the three-point line and started shooting, something he does every warm-up game, although when he's on the floor, he rarely shoots three-pointers.

"You said Rubio could shoot so accurately from three-point range, what would the result be?" Harden glanced at Rubio who shot the basket and said.

"As a result, his worth is definitely more than that!" Paul picked up and said.

Rubio's passing is excellent, but his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his shooting is too inconsistent, and his three-point shooting ability is extremely poor, and if he has a good three-point hand, almost every team will rush to get it.

At the end of the pre-game warm-up, De Shuai gathered everyone together to make the final pre-game arrangements.

"Today, everyone has to be vigilant defensively, the opponent is likely to start from the inside, defend the basket, and we will have a much better chance of winning!"

After De Shuai emphasized the defense again, the game was ready to begin, and the Rockets started with five tigers on the court.

The starting lineup on the Jazz's side is lined up with their usual lineup this season, Rubio, Sefrosa, Ingles, Favors, Gobert.

The commentary on the scene actually found the famous name of the Jazz team, Stockton, as one of the former twin evils of the Utah Jazz, which left him with too many memories.

"I, like many fans, are looking forward to this game, and what kind of game can the two teams that the fans jokingly call their rivals give you today? Let's wait and see! ”

Also present at the commentary was Kenyon Martin.

"Let's be honest, it's a little difficult for the Jazz to win against the Rockets right now, but it's not like there's no chance!"

"If you say that, the fans at the scene may be unhappy, but it is also a fact that this year's Rockets are on the rise, and the league can really say that they can win them, almost nothing!"

The two turned off the microphone and were talking.

On the Rockets' side, they still use the new starting lineup that started in November, which is also very familiar to everyone, Paul, Harden, Cheng Lei, Anderson, plus Capela, and the offensive ability should not be underestimated.

The referee walked onto the field with the ball, the whistle blew and the game began.

Capela and Gobert jumped the ball, and Gobert jumped quickly, took the first step, and tossed the ball out.

After Rubio got the ball, he advanced quickly, dribbled to outside the three-point line, and glanced at it, Paul still put Rubio at a distance, that is, he saw that Rubio would not shoot three points.

Who knows, Rubio just opened his hand and threw the ball.

"What's going on? Was Rubio so confident in his shot today? The Rockets' bench players were also very surprised.

"This goal won't go in!" Paul said after glancing at the arc of the flight.

"I didn't say it was a shot!" Rubio smiled mysteriously.

I saw a person on the side of the basket, Favors had rushed into the basket with Gobert's blocking, jumped up with all his strength, the basket was already empty, and Anderson was left behind Favors.

After grabbing the ball in the air with one hand, he directly exerts force and a split buckle.

"Beautiful!" After getting off the basket, he ran over and high-fived Rubio excitedly.

The Jazz team was ready to give the Rockets a dismount as soon as they came up, no one expected that the Jazz would use an air relay to start today's shot.

"Wow.... Ahh

"Interesting, a little bold!" Paul squinted his eyes and looked under the basket and said.

Capela served quickly, and after Paul received the ball, he began to direct his teammates to run, "We also have one of them!" ”

"Roar...," everyone replied almost simultaneously.

Cheng Lei ran up directly and helped Harden block Sefrossa, Paul directly stuffed the ball towards Harden who rushed to the basket, and after Harden received the ball, he shook left and right, and just stepped towards the basket.

Facing the players who came up to make up for the defense, a European step, turned sideways, and threw the ball to the basket.

Swish...

The ball goes in, Harden is still the same Harden, it's really difficult to defend it.

The ball was back in the hands of the Jazz, and Rubio was still dribbling from beyond the three-point line looking for an opportunity.

This time, Anderson and Capela were both ready, staring at the defenders every step of the way, not giving them any easy chance to score.

"What's going on?"

Rubio actually raised his hand again and shot a three-pointer!

"Is it three points again? Is it really air when the Rockets' interior defense is air? The audience at the opening stage muttered quietly.

Seeing the ball getting closer and closer to the basket and no one rushing up to the inside, this is a three-point shot.

Boom... The ball snorted at the front of the basket, bounced towards the rebound, bounced on the rebound, and fell towards the basket again.

With a "bang", it fell into the frame.

The audience was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up and took the initiative to start shouting Rubio's name.

Today, Rubio's state is hot, he came up with a second pass, and then he put in a three-pointer, like a divine help.
