Before Rubio came, the Jazz team was originally prepared to embark on a long road of rebuilding, although they knew that with Rubio's arrival, the Jazz team suddenly had a good chemistry, and their results were rising step by step.

This year, the Jazz will continue to play according to the current trend and have a good chance of getting back into the playoffs.

Originally, Gobert's offense on the inside was still very rough, but with Rubio's assist, Gobert's offensive ability was activated to the fullest.

You must know that if a teammate has a passing expert, even if the center is not very good at independent offense, he can get a good statistic, which is suitable for Paul.

Chandler back then, Jordan Jr. later, and Capela now are the most convincing.

The Clippers are known as the City of Empty Picks, and Paul is second to none, and now that the Jazz have joined Rubio, they're moving toward that trend.

Today, Rubio picked up the lost three-point skill package and led the Jazz players to a very beautiful game in the first quarter, with Gobert and Favors getting many easy offensive opportunities.

The offense was opened, and the self-confidence also came up, Gobert and Favors jumped on the inside, grabbed rebounds, and attacked twice, which caught the Rockets off guard, plus the home court advantage, which made the Rockets feel a little confused all of a sudden.

On the Rockets' side, in addition to playing smoothly at the beginning, in the back, it seems that suddenly everyone is a little unable to find their feelings, whether it is Harden, Cheng Lei, or Paul, several three-point shots have been missed.

"The drawbacks of Team Rocket's shelling style have appeared!" Kenyon Martin affirmed.

"The current small-ball tactics, in the final analysis, rely heavily on three-point shots, and if you can't shoot three-pointers, you will undoubtedly fall into passivity, not only for the Rockets, but also for the Warriors!" Stockton explained.

"However, the current Jazz team, the changes in the past two years are also very big, at least their current play is more like a whole!"

At the end of the first quarter, Deshuai gathered everyone together and asked everyone to say what went wrong in the first quarter.

"The rhythm of the opposite inside line disrupted our pre-match set-up!" Anderson was the first to speak.

"The Jazz rotated very quickly today, and they moved the ball more aggressively than we did, so they got a lot of scoring opportunities!" Cheng Lei also said simply.

"No, there was one thing we were careless today, or rather, I was careless, Rubio suddenly had a three-point ability, which I didn't expect!" Paul said with an unhappy face, in the first quarter, Rubio actually scored three three-pointers on his head, and throughout his career, it was rare to shoot three-pointers in abnormal games, let alone three three-pointers in one quarter.

"Okay, now that you know what the problem is, then we have to deal with it in the second section!" Seeing that everyone was almost discussed, De Shuai began to speak.

"Paul, Rubio is in better shape today, so he can't be released for three points!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

"Their inside line will jump, and we are not bad, Zhou Qi, you go on in the second quarter, and Capela are two, you must maintain the intensity of the inside defense!" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Qi and said.

"Okay!"

"Harden, and Ray, now that you can't shoot three-pointers, play more inside, and in the second quarter, you must chase the difference back!"

After speaking, De Shuai looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have confidence!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

The second quarter begins.

Paul directly didn't give Rubio a chance to shoot three points, and directly defended Rubio, and after the inside line was replaced by Zhou Qi, the overall interior height of the Rockets was already a cut higher.

"Boy, can you keep me from your little body?" Favors looked at the slender Zhou Qi with a look of contempt.

Zhou Qi didn't speak, and used his actual actions to prove that defense is not a matter of mouth.

"With this bamboo pole body, I can go all the way to the bottom of the basket!" Favors sneered in his heart, decisively leaned his back to Zhou Qi, stretched out his hand and began to ask for the ball.

Rubio saw that the Rockets actually replaced the fringe characters of the previous game, is this stupid, or is it self-confidence? Or is there no other trick left?

On the basketball court, there is no sympathy, that point is weak, so start from that point, Rubio made a false move, and directly stuffed the ball into the inside line and into the hands of Favors.

There were no fancy movements, after Favors got the ball, he directly lowered his center of gravity, fart-strand for Zhou Qi, and squeezed it hard one by one.

Bang... Bang...

With every step, the closer he gets to the basket, this kind of brute force attack, Zhou Qi really has no good way to stop him.

When he was about the same position away from the basket, Favors suddenly exerted a force, hit Zhou Qi hard, and after hitting Zhou Qi backwards, Favors turned around directly, faced the basket, pulled it up directly, and was ready to split the dunk with one hand.

"Don't think!"

After Zhou Qi was knocked back, he quickly adjusted his position and jumped up against Favors.

The advantage of height and reach was immediately on display, and although he jumped a little later than Favors, he slapped the ball in Favors' hand.

Syllable... The ball slid straight out of Favors' hands, smashed into the basket and bounced off.

Capela had already prepared for the rebound, and when he saw the bounce come out, he immediately jumped up and held the ball in his arms.

After everyone in the basket retreated, he passed the ball safely to Paul.

Coming and not being rude, Paul dribbled in the face of Rubio's defense, so he naturally had to return him, and he scored three three-pointers in front of him, which was really unpleasant.

After his eyes signaled to Harden, Paul dribbled the ball and greeted Harden, while the two staggered, Paul accelerated, the ball backhanded and crotched, and the crowd went straight out.

The opportunity came, and after Paul got the ball, he made a direct shot and scored two points.

The Rockets sounded the horn of a counterattack.

The defensive ability of the interior line is also gradually being displayed, Zhou Qi, who was looked down upon by the Jazz team, set up an air defense zone on the inside, and after just taking a ball from Favors, he came back, and the throw after Sephorosa hit the inside line was once again pointed out by Zhou Qi.

The Rockets seized the opportunity, two long balls, and finally, after the ball was returned to Harden's hands, he faced Ingles, who came up to the defense, and smashed the ball into it with a tough one-hand.

With the dunk successful, the whistle also came, and it also caused a defensive foul by Ingles and won a free throw.

Standing at the free throw line, which is what Harden does best, took aim at the basket and easily scored another point.

The rhythm seemed to be back in the hands of the Rockets all of a sudden, and although the three-point shooting still couldn't be opened, the Rockets found other ways to score, using sudden and mid-range shots to successfully recover the score.
