The Trail Blazers' forward ability was insufficient, and after returning from a timeout in the second half of the third quarter, the shortcomings were infinitely magnified, and the Rockets' strategy was to put the forward line appropriately and the entire defense to shrink inside.

All of a sudden, it achieved excellent results, no way, Evan Turner, who is now the most active in the front line, can't shoot three points, and the other people don't have the ability to hold the ball, which makes the coach of the Trail Blazers really have no way at all.

I can only choose to believe in Evan Turner, shoot and shoot, and the three-point can suddenly find a feeling.

With Paul's buzzer-beating shot in the first half, the Rockets went into halftime with a four-point lead.

"In the second half, in the first half of the third quarter, we will have less pressure, and it is also our chance, they will definitely give the main team enough rest time to fight for the last quarter, so, Gordon, you must press the opponent to play on the bench later!" As soon as De Shuai returned to the lounge, he began to talk to the players about the strategy for the second half.

"Your purpose in the third quarter is to force the opponent's main force early, and the sooner they play, the better the chance we will win!"

For the Rockets, there is one of the biggest advantages in the second half, that is, compared with any team, the Rockets with the blessing of black technology will be better in terms of physical fitness.

"Coach rest assured, we will definitely go all out!" Gordon, as a substitute representative, said.

"Paul, Ray, your task is still very difficult, later, they will definitely carry out the final counterattack with two guns, you two must be mentally prepared!" This game, so far, the restrictions on the Trail Blazers' double guns are still in place.

"We'll do our best!"

On the Trail Blazers' side, Evan Turner's mood was also very bad, the defense did not prevent Harden, and the offensive three-point shot could not be scored, resulting in the team's hind legs.

"Turner, you can't go on like this, don't hesitate to shoot, shoot when you have the opportunity, if you don't score, we can still compete for rebounds, don't panic!" Lillard enlightened this Turner.

In this game, you need to contribute from the front, otherwise the second half will be too difficult.

Turner didn't speak, a towel over his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"McCollum, how are you definitely a Rockets rookie?"

"Mature than the average rookie, very calm, several deliberate provocations against him have not succeeded!" At this time, McCollum had no other hostility towards Cheng Lei.

"In the second half, you have to strengthen your attack, I am alone, it is very difficult to fight, and the opponent Paul is not a vegetarian!" Lillard said.

Paul is a notoriously big heart, the more he gets to the last moments, the more stable his play is, and now, just one Harden score, it is already difficult to entangle, if Paul is on full fire, and no one on his side can keep up with the pace, the situation will be very passive.

"When I get on the court, I'll step up my offense, Hakris, you need to come up and cover a little more, the opponent's rookie is honest, the defensive ability is still very strong, and if you attack strongly, the effect is not very good!"

"Okay, I got it!"

The break ended quickly, and the two sides returned to the court again, still the time of the benches, and the task of the Trail Blazers' benches was to try to drag on for four to five minutes, and the rest of the time, it was time for the main players to go on the court and fight the bayonets.

The bench is the strength of the Rockets, after playing, Gordon and Tucker are responsible for the strong offense, Ariza supports the strong point of defense, plays in a disciplined manner, and in a minute, the Trail Blazers bench surrenders.

The coach of the angry Trail Blazers kept patting the tactical board, unable to score offensively and defensively, and watched the Rockets' benches stretch the score little by little.

The four-point gap was widened to nine points in a blink of an eye, and it was not possible to go on like this, there was no way, so I could only change the main force in advance when it was three minutes into the third quarter, and began to sprint strongly.

The main player came on, and the main point of attack this time became McCollum, and Lillard deliberately passed the ball to him to let him play more.

Today, McCollum's performance so far has not been very good, and he needs to adjust his form in time.

"Hey, newcomer, look at it, now, I'm going to start scoring!" McCollum, who dribbled, did not forget to tease Cheng Lei, as long as Cheng Lei has mood swings, then it will be a good thing for himself.

"I'm looking forward to your score, after all, you're only in the single digits until now!" This kind of thing is also what Cheng Lei is best at, and he shot back directly.

As soon as this sentence came out, McCollum looked a little embarrassed, was he being looked down upon by the newcomer?

According to the prior arrangement, when McCollum took the ball to look for opportunities, Harks had already begun to move in his direction, and after dribbling and moving a few steps with Cheng Lei, he would immediately pull and accelerate towards Harles.

Smoothly bypassing Cheng Lei's defense, McCollum left for a pullup jumper.

Boom... It was still cold and the ball wasn't thrown.

Nurkic relied on his huge body to squeeze Capela behind him and pick up the rebound.

The ball was passed back to Lillard's hands on the outside, and Paul followed up as soon as possible, not giving Lillard a chance to shoot from a distance at all.

After dribbling two steps, there was little chance and there was a pass to McCollum.

Now, whenever McCollum gets the ball, Halix will look for an opportunity to come up and help him cover.

This time, McCollum didn't opt for a pull-up jumper, but instead accelerated straight and rushed inside.

Facing Cheng Lei, who was chasing after him, he jumped high, and with a large pull rod, the whole person fell to the side and threw the ball out.

The ball went in, and the man fell to the floor, and Lillard immediately ran over and pulled McCollum on the floor.

This goal seems to have aroused McCollum's blood, constantly abandoning his body's offensive interior, even if it is Cheng Lei, who is strong in defense, there is no way to completely stop it, not to mention, as long as he gets the ball, someone will come up to block and dismantle.

Rubbing the time of the serve, Cheng Lei chatted with Anderson for a few words.

"Later, as long as Harkles comes up to block the demolition, you will jam his position so that he can't turn around, and I will go around it as soon as possible to block McCollum!"

"Understood!"

The ball possession of the Rockets, this time, after Harden burst in, distributed the ball to Cheng Lei, who was standing one step away from the three-point line.

"Boy, do you think you're Curry? Can you get in at such a distance? ”

Cheng Lei glanced at McCollum, and the next moment, the ball shot directly.

A graceful arc is drawn in the air and pierced into the center of the mesh bag.

"I'm sorry, but three points are also what I do best!" After saying that, he ran back without looking back and began to prepare for defense.

"Cut, luck!"

McCollum's offense paid off, of course, it was still him who attacked, Harklis ran up to block and dismantle as before, but this time, his position was firmly blocked by Anderson, and Cheng Lei actually spared McCollum from both sides at the same time.

Seeing Cheng Lei coming up, McLuum once again made a reverse dribble, spared it again, and added a back step, completely widening the distance between him and Cheng Lei, and made a three-point shot.

Boom...

Hell, I can't shoot three points today.
