Chapter 267 267, three points backwards
The Rockets don't look like they are a small lineup now, but the team's defense throughout the day is still very good.
You can't be careless about defending a Nuggets like this, they don't have superstars, so the ball moves quickly and everyone has the potential to score.
After the ball is half-time, the guide is very fast, maybe it is this kind of tactic itself, everyone is not very sticky to the ball.
In the end, the ball passed to Embaton's hands, and Harden was still very serious about defending this time.
Seeing Barton's quick shot, Harden saw the opportunity to pounce and blocked Barton with all his might.
Boom... This time the defense still worked, and the three-point shot was iron.
Capela didn't have an advantage in grabbing rebounds and jumping, so he tried his best to keep Jokic behind him, and Paul rushed inside and picked up the rebound.
After the rebound arrived, his feet immediately accelerated, although the Nuggets could keep up with the speed of the Rockets' counterattack, but the bombardment tactics that have always been the Rockets' best mode are still the best for the Rockets.
This time, the Rockets replaced Cheng Lei as the main attacker, and Harden took the initiative to run over and help Cheng Lei block and dismantle, so that Cheng Lei rushed over smoothly, and Paul also passed the ball directly.
After Wilson got rid of Harden's block, he quickly rushed towards Cheng Lei, because he saw that Cheng Lei was about to make a move.
The fact is indeed that if Cheng Lei takes the ball outside the three-point line, he will directly shoot with three points.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Wilson rushing over, but when Wilson jumped up and wanted to collide with Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei had already thrown the ball, and the whole person also took a small step towards the side, and everything was completed in an instant.
"I almost forgot, Ray's shooting speed is no less than Curry's!" Barkley just sweated for Cheng Lei, and he was also relieved to see Cheng Lei's quick shot.
As long as Cheng Lei is given a small position, the Nuggets will not have time to cover him, and if you obviously rush him after he shoots, it will be easy to be whistled for technical fouls.
The Nuggets are not stupid, seeing that Cheng Lei's balls are all thrown, it is not interesting to rush into them.
The ball was shot, and Cheng Lei turned back and walked towards the backcourt very confidently.
It seems that pretending to be a convict is full, compared to Curry, there is no deficiency!
Rockets fans naturally like the performance of Cheng Lei's equipment, just like the Warriors didn't see Curry turn around and leave without looking at it after shooting, the fans at the scene cheered together, and some fans directly held the clothes of Cheng Lei's LOGO they just bought, waving it.
When Capela saw Cheng Lei's appearance, he also turned around and walked towards the backcourt, not even ready to grab the rebound.
The pretending technique that was originally exclusive to the Warriors is now vividly displayed by the Rockets.
Swish...
The sound of the basketball rubbing against the net is really wonderful, Cheng Lei was directly raised with his hands high by this body, enjoying the cheers of the audience.
It is estimated that the cover of tomorrow's sports news headlines will be Cheng Lei's pretending action, and it is no surprise that this action may also be selected as one of the top ten pretending balls this month.
Wilson just pouted, it seems that there are not too many mental fluctuations, in the small forward position, there are too many big guys in the NBA, it seems that he is also used to it.
The Nuggets were not affected by Cheng Lei's goal, and all the members were still actively running, ready to attack.
Nelson still played very steadily, about the same height as Paul, and did not have much of an advantage, and, in order to win, this fearless one-on-one was not necessary in his opinion.
The team's strong point is there, and the first offensive option is, of course, how easy it is to score.
Jokic gave Millsap another pick-and-roll, and Millsap responded to the free-throw line, which is his favorite style of play.
After the pick-and-roll, Jokic quickly stretched out his arms and stuck Capela firmly behind him.
Nelson passed the ball to Millsap in the middle line, and after a shooting feint, Millsap hit the ground and passed the ball to Jokic, who was stuck on the inside.
Jokic's offense is also very real, that is, after taking a step hard against Capela, he quickly turned his back, faced the basket, and jumped directly, ready to split the dunk.
At this time, Capela also jumped up with all his strength, wanting to make the final block.
It's just that a little slower, Jokic was on the head, and completed this dunk, and Capela tragically became a background board.
"-groove, this guy is young, and the inside attack is just right!" Kenyon Martin sighed.
When I first entered the NBA, I was also a bouncing maniac, and when I could dunk, I resolutely didn't need to shoot, although it was very cool to play like this at that time, but later, after the injury, it was too painful.
As a person who has come over, he is very similar to reminding Jokic that this kind of strong style of play is easy to get seriously injured.
"Capella, are you alright?" Cheng Lei ran over and asked.
"It's okay, get used to it!"
As the cake king of the Rockets, Capela will also be blocked by others when he enters the game, of course, it is normal to be blocked by others, which Capela has long seen very thoroughly.
Isn't it just a backdrop, and there won't be a piece of meat.
Cheng Lei has been playing recently, and Harden's style of play has gradually learned a lot, especially Harden's step-back, which was when Cheng Lei came to the Rockets and began to learn from Harden.
Harden's step-back should be considered the easiest way to score in the league, without having to fight physically, and it is easy to create opportunities for himself.
When doing this kind of retreat, the key is to take it by surprise, and then, the amplitude and speed of the retreat should be so fast that the other party can't react.
Cheng Lei continued to play Barton, because he knew that Harden would come over to block the demolition, Barton estimated that he took a small step and spared Harden in advance.
Cheng Lei ran to the position, and after receiving the ball, the next moment, Barton also caught up.
The defense is positive, the Nuggets should be the most active defense among the opponents of the Rockets so far, and some of the balls they know can't be prevented, they will still rush up to defend them.
Cheng Lei got up quickly, tapped his toes, and made a shooting feint to test whether Barton would be fooled.
Although Barton's center of gravity was hoisted, fortunately, he hadn't jumped up yet, otherwise, Cheng Lei would have been directly passed by him.
However, this time, the opportunity also came out, Cheng Lei made a force with both legs, quickly dribbled two steps to the left, entered the three-point line, and saw Barton come up quickly, Cheng Lei turned sideways, and after the ball clicked, he dribbled behind his back.
After switching to his right hand, taking advantage of the time when the ball was pressed down, Cheng Lei's center of gravity quickly moved up, which was another feint.
The ball bounced back into his hand, and when Barton hesitated for a moment, Cheng Lei had already used a step back.
Dropped out of the three-point line by a large margin, and threw the ball straight away.
"Good guys, is Team Rocket all going back now?" Barkley said jokingly.
Although Cheng Lei's step-back rhythm is not as good as Harden's, the amplitude is greater than Harden's, and his step-back shooting action is faster than Harden's.
Swish... Three points and then go in.
