Chapter 337 338, Jazz Warms Up
The audience was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into thunderous applause.
The Rockets took the lead and gave the Jazz a dismount.
The ball was in the hands of the Jazz, and Rubio methodically dribbled through the halfcourt, and then, directing his teammates to attack, there is no doubt that their first choice was to start from the inside.
Gobert relied on his advantage in strength to firmly block the position, pressing Zhou Qi and preventing him from going around to the front.
Rubio decisively passed the ball towards Gobert on the inside.
A man came out of the air, grabbed in front of Gobert, and broke the ball to his hand.
Cheng Lei had long seen that the Jazz would hit the ball inside, so when Gobert had the opportunity to catch the ball, Cheng Lei also consciously leaned over there.
The moment the ball came out, Cheng Lei also immediately moved quickly inside.
played a brilliant performance at the beginning, and the fans of the Rockets were suddenly excited, and the audience cheered continuously.
Cheng Lei held the ball and paused for a while, waited until there was no one on the side, passed the ball to Paul, and then ran towards his own half.
The Jazz team also reacted quickly, and the moment the ball was broken, all members immediately began to run back, not giving the Rockets a chance to play a fast break.
After Paul dribbled through the half, he passed the ball directly to Harden on the left.
After Harden received the ball, after a quick continuous dribble, he broke through directly to the inside, Seforosa's defense could not completely limit Harden, and his teammates in the bag had not kept up in time, Harden got a good opportunity to attack the inside.
Zhou Qi's position is relatively close to the outside, and Gobert has also been pulled out, and the current oppressive force of the inner line is actually relatively small.
Harden didn't care about chasing his Sefolosha desperately, and rushed inside.
After seeing Harden rushing in, Favors moved sideways and wanted to come over to make up for the defense, but he was firmly entangled by Tucker and couldn't rush over at the first time.
Harden took two big strides and took to the air, and that's when Favors dared to arrive.
After taking a big step, he soared into the air and slammed towards Harden.
"You want to stop me, do you have the ability?" Harden snorted coldly, and his one-handed splitting posture remained unchanged, and he changed his style of playing to touch porcelain inside, which looked extremely tough.
Facing Favors, he split the buckle with one hand.
Bang dang!
The frame was shaking, and Harden hung on the basket with one hand, looking at the falling Favors with great domineering.
Rockets fans are completely crazy, this game has just begun, and the Rockets have already played with momentum.
"Oh my God, what's going on today?"
"Today's tickets, it's worth it!"
The whole stand became a sea of red.
The Jazz seemed to be blinded by the Rockets' offense all of a sudden, and they didn't know how to attack.
Rubio assisted Sefolosa and rushed into the inside to come up, and Zhou Qi, who was moved laterally, slapped the ball directly to the outside of the field.
After serving, he attacked again, shot directly and hit the iron, and was rebounded by Tucker.
was full of confidence and wanted to seek revenge on the Rockets, but he didn't expect that only three minutes after the opening, he was hit by the Rockets with a small climax.
The coach of the Jazz team hurriedly called a timeout, if he continued to play like this, how would he play in the following games.
"Be clear-headed, understand what you're doing!"
"Think about how we set it up before the game, don't panic!"
The Jazz coach didn't lay out any other tactics, and all the timeout was used to calm down the players.
After the timeout ended and the game resumed, the Jazz also began to set up the offense again.
Rubio's passing became more cautious, not rushing to pass, but first directing his teammates to constantly block and run.
The front played too impatiently, too eagerly, and was caught by the Rockets instead.
This time, with the help of the block, Ingles smoothly rushed into the interior with the ball, jumped high, and thought of a wonderful dunk.
At this time, Zhou Qi quickly moved sideways, raised his hands high, and blocked Ingles' dunk route.
At this time, Cheng Lei also chased after him from behind, jumped from behind, and racquetted towards the ball, and blocked Ingles in the air.
At this time, Ingles' mind was not hot, if he forcibly dunked, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being covered, and seeing that he was about to rush to the highest height and fall, Ingles exerted force in his abdomen, pulled down with both hands, and took the ball back.
The moment he landed, he flicked the ball to the side.
"Such a fierce defense, how do you feel that after the Rockets changed people inside, the defensive strength has improved?" Some viewers said in surprise.
De Shuai showed a smile off the field, all of which was expected by him.
Zhou Qi's advantage is that he moves laterally quickly and has strong defensive ability, but his shortcomings are also obvious, and his one-on-one defense is too weak.
And these balls, Zhou Qi took advantage of the fast lateral movement speed and caught the Jazz team off guard.
On the field, after Ingalls flicked the ball out, the ball did not go out of bounds.
Gobert took a big step, scooped the ball in his hands, looked back at the moon, hooked his backhand, hit the board, and scored the first goal of the game for the Jazz.
Before the Jazz began to celebrate the goal, the Rockets had already finished serving quickly.
"Hurry back to defense!" Off the field, the substitutes were shouting vigorously.
After Paul received the ball, he strode straight away, so fast that the Jazz players didn't react.
"Damn, careless again!" The Jazz coach slapped the tactics board hard.
I saw Paul rushing to the basket one by one, Tucker finished the ball, and just stepped into the court, Paul had already appeared at the three-point line.
Although Rubio chased after him with all his might, Paul, who was speeding up, did not give Rubio a chance to catch up at all.
One step, two steps, jump.
Paul put the ball in the basket safely.
So far in the game, the Rocket trident has shown a strong desire to fight, and they have blossomed and are unstoppable.
In the first quarter, under the Rockets' explosive rhythm, the Jazz fell behind by ten points.
Who would have thought before the game that at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led 28:18 by a large score.
"Team Rocket, win!"
"Team Rocket, win!"
"Team Rocket, win!"
In the stands of the Rockets, there were Chinese fans shouting loudly to cheer.
In this atmosphere, the atmosphere on the Jazz side seemed unusually depressing, wrapped in a revenge mentality, and at the end of the first quarter, it was actually spent by the Rockets.
"Cheer up, the game has just begun!"
"Calm down, calm down!"
The coaches of the Jazz team are constantly enlightening the players.
There are many young players, and the mentality will inevitably fluctuate greatly, and at this time, they need to be constantly enlightened.
