Whether it is Davis against Anderson or Cousins against Capela, to be honest, they all have an absolute advantage.

And the Pelicans' current strategy is to continue to attack from the inside.

To be honest, the Pelicans' outside line is really poor, looking at the West, the ability to move forward may be a little weaker than the Trail Blazers in front, but, no way, now their interior line is playing smoothly, covering up some of the hidden dangers of the outside line.

Capela is still young and needs time to continue to grow, and the Rockets are not very demanding of Capela, as long as he becomes an interior defensive master.

In the next few rounds, although Anderson tried hard to defend Davis, the effect was not very ideal.

After Zhou Qi changed to the court, his footsteps could completely keep up with Davis, but in terms of strength, it was indeed a little worse, Davis leaned on Zhou Qi with his back and hit directly, that is, relying on his strength, forcibly pushing Zhou Qi away, and then, facing the basket to shoot, or choosing to burst into the basket and press Zhou Qi to play.

Fortunately, Zhou Qi's defensive range is still very wide, and he can still interfere with Davis.

Not long after he got on the court, he quickly adjusted his state, and a ball directly interfered with Davis, allowing him to shoot and make a layup directly too hard and bounce out.

Harden didn't feel as good as the last game today, so he didn't choose to shoot from the outside, and he shot from mid-range after breaking in, or threw shots, or assisted his teammates to score, so that the score was not pulled away.

With five points trailing, the Pelicans were never able to extend that lead, and the two sides were deadlocked.

De Shuai has been observing the changes in the situation on the field, since Zhou Qi was replaced, the effect of defending Davis is indeed better than Anderson, although it is also very passive, but at least Davis is not taking what he wants.

As the league's air slash king last season, Davis's scoring ability is naturally terrifying.

Although Zhou Qi is very passive, relying on his own movement speed, every time he is knocked out, he can defend back as soon as possible, and slowly, he seems to have figured out some tips for defending Davis.

Davis exerted his strength, Zhou Qi took the initiative to take a step back, and after Davis lost his strength, he took a step forward to block, this defensive method made Davis a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

In the Pelicans' next offense, the ball still passed to Davis's hands, and Zhou Qi still posted it for the first time.

"Do you think you can stop me?" Davis began to lean his back against Zhou Qi and began to trash talk.

This guy is full of toughness, he has been beaten so many times by himself, and he is so active in defense, it seems that he is still not afraid of him.

"It doesn't matter, I just have to do my best!" Zhou Qi said flatly.

In the Rockets, he used to be only the person at the end of the bench, but now, he has become a stable bench player, growing up step by step, and has encountered any difficulties, so he can go all out.

Bang... Bang...

was ready to eat Zhou Qi again, but this time, as soon as Davis made a sudden force, he felt a light in his back, as if there was no defender, and he almost made a mistake because he used too much force.

As soon as the power was withdrawn, the pressure behind him suddenly increased.

After a few times, Davis couldn't grasp Zhou Qi's routine, so he decisively chose a turn and started to attack in the face of the basket.

Davis's frame offense is what Zhou Qi wants, and defending this kind of offense is what Zhou Qi is good at.

Davis couldn't shake Zhou Qi away, so he chose a backward jumper, and Zhou Qi immediately followed up and jumped up to block.

Boom...

In the end, Davis was interfered with by Zhou Qi, and the ball deflected off the basket.

Seeing this scene, Deshuai nodded with satisfaction, this time the defense was very good.

However, the rebound was taken by Cousins.

After Cousins got the rebound, he forced Capela away and completed the board-hitting goal.

Guarding against one, there is another threat, I have to say, the Pelicans' interior duo, neither of which can be underestimated.

"Capela, are you only going to defend yourself?"

After Cousins scored, the coach yelled loudly.

Paul immediately ran over, patted him on the back, and whispered something.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Harden faced Bombett's defense, played unusually easily, assisted Cheng Lei, and after completing a mid-range shot, everyone quickly began to defend again.

This time, it was clear that Capela had changed his defensive strategy and stopped defending Cousins from behind, constantly defending around the front to prevent him from receiving the ball.

This annoyed Cousins, and the two began to fight hand-to-hand.

After seeing this, Rondo pointed at Holiday and asked Holiday to come up and help him dismantle it alone.

After a quick shake off Paul, Rondo went inside.

Davis directly stuck the position and did not let Zhou Qi go over to help defend, and Cousins also gave up hand-to-hand combat with Capela on the inside and left the basket directly.

Capela saw Rondo coming in, and of course he couldn't go out like Cousins, standing under the basket and ready to make up for Rondo.

Rondo's pass was ever-changing, and after bursting in, the ball went straight to the side and handed it to Cousins, who left the basket.

After Cousins got the ball, he dribbled directly and rushed towards the inside.

Holding the ball with one hand, it was obvious that it was about to dunk, and after Capela landed, he once again defended towards Cousins, who was starting out.

"Go, Cousins, teach him a lesson!" After Rondo passed, he ran away from the basket and looked at Cousins.

The two jumped into the air almost at the same time.

Capela felt his hand getting closer to the ball, which had a good chance of being blocked.

The next moment, Cousins' right hand that grabbed the ball pulled back, and after a loud roar, the whole person collided with Capela in the air like a full bow.

"If you want to cover me, you're still very tender!"

Grabbing the ball with his right hand, he exerted all his strength, and slashed towards the basket with a thunderous momentum.

With a huge force, Capella was directly knocked out.

The basket shook violently after the huge figure hung on it, and Cousins glanced at Capela, who had been knocked off the court, extremely domineering.

"I knew it would be like this, the most powerful thing about Rondo is this hand backpass!" De said handsomely patting the tactical board.

Fortunately, this is the home court of the Rockets, otherwise, if Capela doesn't get this ball, he will be whistled for a foul.

The Rockets fans at the scene became silent, and many fans frowned, this game may really be very difficult, and the gap on the inside is really difficult to erase.
