Chapter 39: Winning three in a row
In the second quarter, Adelman replaced the bench and didn't even start a starter! Maybe Adelman wants to test the abilities of Lowry and Dragic.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lowry unleashed the power of the small steel cannon of later generations, carrying Ariza on the opposite side to hit the ball in, and took the lead in scoring in the second quarter.
In just two minutes, the Rockets bench stopped the Hornets, and the Hornets had no choice but to replace Paul again, after all, the Hornets without Paul were really the same as not being able to play, and were pulled down by 8 points by the Rockets bench in two minutes.
And even if the Hornets replaced Paul on the court, Adelman still looked like he was sitting firmly on Mount Tai, just like saying "I won't change the starter, I just want to see the bench play you Hornets." β
Well, it's cool, but it turns out that Adelman's approach is not wrong, even after Paul goes up, he can only barely bite the score, and there is no way to tie the score.
The reason is that the Hornets' inside line really can't stop the connection between Hassan and Lowry! Look, another air connection has entered, and you don't have to think about it to know that this is another connection between Hassan and Lowry.
And Paul didn't rest in the first quarter, and only rested for two minutes in the second quarter, and Paul secretly complained in the face of Lowry's small steel cannon, although it was no problem to defend Lowry, but it was really too laborious.
With two minutes left in the second quarter, Paul was so tired that he was actually stealed by Lowry when he dribbled, and then Lowry scored two more points with an easy layup.
The Hornets had to change the lineup again and replace Paul, apparently ready to let him rest for a while, but Paul seemed to be a little reluctant to go down and had a few words with the coach.
But it's normal to think about it, this is SΓ£o Paulo! A man whose desire to survive can be on par with Kobe! Seeing the team fall behind and being replaced, Paul must be uncomfortable.
At halftime, Hassan got 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, Lowry was not bad for Hassan too much, with 5 points, 4 assists, 1 board and 1 steal, while Dragic's performance was a little unbearable, only 3 points in the first quarter, and the shooting 5-1 also made Adelman frown.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Adelman waved his hand and all the starters were sent up again, and the Hornets also started West, Paul and Ariza, and the remaining two starters arranged for them to rest off the court.
At the beginning of the game, Paul was powerful, and he hit a three-point shot against Harden, and then returned to the backcourt indifferently after shooting, Harden originally wanted to return it, but under Paul's cold eyes, he retreated three points and went directly to the basket.
"Dude, Paul's eyes are so scary." Harden said to Summer as he returned to defense.
"Are you cowardly?" Summer said with a smile.
"How is that possible!"
"Then him! It's going to be cool to hit a shot on his head later. β
"Hmph, just do it!" After Harden finished speaking, he ran away arrogantly and returned to his defensive position, leaving only the summer to giggle in the midfield, after all, he was used to seeing Harden and Paul love each other in his last life, and it is not bad to see these two kill each other in this life.
Anyway, the two of them got angry in the first quarter, and I just picked up what they didn't finish in the first quarter, so my conscience won't hurt, rest assured.
Paul didn't come on his own after holding the ball this time, first observing the situation around him, and then under a series of runs from his teammates, Paul suddenly broke through to the inside and then split the ball again.
Oops! Summer yelled in his heart and looked outside, it was Ariza, who was missed by Summer, and Ariza picked up the ball and scored three points for the Hornets.
"I'm sorry for my mistake." Summer admits his mistake to his teammates.
"It's okay, just give him back." Yao Ming patted Summer on the shoulder and ran to serve.
After half the time, Summer ran to Harden's side to take the ball, and slowly slapped the ball All of a sudden, Summer started, but it didn't succeed in breaking through, and helplessly, Summer began to play Ariza with his back.
When Ariza got to the free throw line with his back to him, Summer stopped, first aimed at the basket and then slammed into the back, and made a step-back jumper!
Summer finally used his skills in this game, which he had been honing for days, and then the basketball threw a beautiful arc in the air and then drilled into the net.
βyesοΌβ Summer clenched her fists and smiled on her face, the results of hard training are still very remarkable.
But this goal stunned Barkley in the studio!
"Oh my God! What is that! Step-back jumper! I feel like I've seen Kobe! β
"Don't slap me Buckley! I see it! I understand your surprise too! Because I'm so surprised! It's been a long time since I've been learning Kobe's step-back jumper for a long time! β
"I have to say that I give full marks to this shot, it's too similar to Kobe, it's like a carved appearance!"
......
Regardless of the situation in the studio, the fans at the scene also cheered, not only because their star scored, but also because they saw Kobe's voice and shadow on the body in the summer!
Don't ask me how many Kobe fans there are, anyway, I can't count the numbers, including Houston, many people are Kobe fans.
And when the atmosphere reached Gao Chao, the game was also ended by this goal, and the Hornets players looked at the score board that was ten points behind, and then looked at the crowd chanting.
Thinking back to the heroic appearance of the ball just now, for some reason a shadow silently loomed over them, except, of course, Paul, the Rockets had a 14-point lead over the Hornets after the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Hornets also withdrew their main force and surrendered, and the Rockets finally won the game 101:90, and the Hornets also returned with a feather.
And the Rockets also won their third straight win of the season on their home court! Among them, Harden had 20 points, 11 assists and 4 boards, 19 points, 6 assists and 9 boards in the summer, and Yao Ming won the data of Double 15, which was 15 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 hats.
And after winning this game, the Rockets' ranking has also been improved to the first place in the West, and as for who is second in the West, it is a bit unexpected, because the second place in the West is the Spurs and not the Lakers.
And the next game Rockets vs. Spurs, a ranking battle is about to begin, if the Rockets win, they will still be first, if they lose, they may fall to second or lower than second.
