Chapter 237 237, Three Points of Rain

Today, the killing desire of all members of the Rockets team is high, and the rotation of the ball is unusually fast, and the two bigwigs are not sticking to the ball, let alone the other players.

After Cheng Lei started against the Cavaliers in the last game and achieved good results, D'Antoni directly promoted Cheng Lei to the starting position, and Ariza was reduced to a substitute.

Compared with Ariza, Cheng Lei's defensive hardness is a few points higher than Ariza's, plus Cheng Lei's offensive ability and stability are higher than Ariza's, after more than a month of tempering, now, with the team, it is also full of tacit understanding, D'Antoni naturally put Cheng Lei in the starting position.

The Grizzlies wanted to play inside according to their own tactics, but Capela was fighting today, that is, constantly defending Gasol Jr. in front of him, so that Gasol Jr. could not easily receive the ball.

Moreover, it is difficult for Conley to hoist the ball high into the inside, and Capela's bounce speed and bounce are very good.

Throughout the first half, the Rockets let everyone see what it means to be a team with championship competitiveness, with ferocious firepower among all members, coupled with Capela's crazy scramble on the inside, directly blinded the Grizzlies.

By the end of the first half, the Rockets had scored 62 points, leading the Grizzlies by a full nineteen points, almost sealing the victory, and after the second half, D'Antoni gave Harden and Paul more rest to protect the players.

Cheng Lei is completely an iron man, and when the physical strength opportunity is not exhausted, D'Antoni naturally knows that Cheng Lei is a monster with individual ability, so at the beginning of the second half, let Cheng Lei take people to play on the field.

was originally the team's third scorer, but now that the two bigwigs are off the court, Cheng Lei has unlimited firing rights, and of course he will not miss this opportunity.

After the Grizzlies experienced the confusion of the first half, they launched an all-out offensive at the beginning of the third quarter, and in order to win the Rockets in this game, they must seize the time for the rest of the opponent's two main players.

In the face of Blake, Conley's advantage is highlighted, and as an All-Star point guard, Conley naturally knows how to take advantage of this opportunity.

Blake tried his best to defend Conley, and his pace couldn't keep up with Conley's pace.

After Conley was disguised, he directly increased his speed, and Blake could barely keep up, and then, Conley was another transformation, speeding up the speed to the extreme, and successfully got rid of Blake.

When the opportunity arose, Conley immediately made a pull-up jumper to score two points for the Grizzlies.

After Tucker got the ball, he didn't stop for a moment, and immediately served from the bottom line, and after Cheng Lei received the ball, he quickly dribbled through the half court and passed it to Blake.

Blake crossed the ball to Ariza, and Tiezha took a step inside before distributing the ball to Cheng Lei on the outside.

Cheng Lei is one step away from the three-point line, and pulling out his hand directly is a three-point shot.

After the ball was scored, the Rockets players were extremely positive, all of them ran back for the first time, began to prepare for defense, and the execution was amazing.

Although the Grizzlies were able to score two points, every time, it seemed a little struggling, fortunately, now, Conley can still score smoothly, but Conley didn't feel very good today, shooting again, knocking out of the frame.

Fortunately, Mark Gasol grabbed the rebound, made a strong attack under the basket, and scored two points.

Looking back, the Rockets' offense has not decreased, today, the team's high three-point shooting rate is scary, Ariza's block and pick-and-roll, so that Tucker has a chance, Cheng Lei passed the ball, Tucker stepped on the three-point line and hit a shot.

This made the Grizzlies have no temper at all, the Rockets rotate the ball quickly, which makes the Grizzlies' defense very tired, and, most lethally, the Rockets can always shoot the ball in when they have an opportunity, which is no choice.

Cheng Lei didn't shoot much during this time, more to assist his teammates to score, Tony Allen and Cheng Lei have played against each other, knowing that Cheng Lei's three points are very powerful, so he didn't dare to have any slack, and has always maintained a defensive position that can attack and block at any time.

This time, Cheng Lei did not choose to pass the ball, but while dribbling, while watching the position of his teammates, it was so imperceptible, Cheng Lei took two small steps back, freeing up a space to accelerate.

After a tentative stride, Cheng Lei suddenly picked up speed and killed him to the left.

Tony Allen didn't expect Cheng Lei to break through so resolutely, and by the time he adjusted his pace and caught up, it was too late.

When there was an opportunity, Cheng Lei directly threw the ball with one hand and scored the ball.

All the main players of the Grizzlies tried to recover the score, but it did not have any effect, and the Rockets rained three points at home, and the Grizzlies' offense was all drenched in heavy rain.

Even Blake, who had a good chance to shoot, had two good three-point attempts and made a three-pointer.

All the members of the Grizzlies team are more frustrated, and the enthusiasm of the whole team has dropped a lot, after all, after working so hard, in exchange for the result, the score has increased, how can I stand it.

Conley's pass also seemed a little casual, Cheng Lei suddenly hit out of his stomach, and after breaking the ball directly, he rushed forward like a gust of wind.

After the ball passed the half, it was found that there was only one Tony Allen chasing him behind, and Cheng Lei decisively dribbled at full speed and attacked.

Before Tony Allen could catch up, Cheng Lei stepped on the free throw line and jumped up.

The whole person's body in the air was stretched to the extreme, like a stretched bow.

"Bang dang!" After the loud noise, the entire basket was shaking, and Cheng Lei grabbed the basket with both hands like a thunder god.

With Cheng Lei's violent hand, the last bit of confidence of the Grizzlies team was completely lost, and the defense became weak and very lazy, and the morale of the whole team was extremely low.

The coach of the Grizzlies team could only call a timeout in a hurry, enlighten the players, and when the timeout ended, the Grizzlies also replaced a few main players.

On the Rockets' side, the more smoothly they played, and halfway through the third quarter, Coach D'Antoni continued to replace Harden and Paul, and as soon as Paul came on the court, he passed a good ball.

Throw the ball to Anderson who was ambushed in the bottom corner, Anderson got up and down, three points, and scored.

The Rockets fans were happiest today, witnessing the team's best game to date.

It was just the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, and the Rockets fans began to celebrate in the stands.

After two minutes in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies removed the main force early and declared the game over.

The margin was too big, and in the end, the Rockets scored a season-high 123 points, leading by 21 points and taking the Grizzlies.
