In the second quarter of the game, the summer and Harden were all rested, and the old rookies of the Rockets were still on the court, which has become a regular rotation for the Rockets.

As the old men of Team Rocket, their tacit understanding is no worse than that of the current newcomers.

At the beginning of the game, you can see that Dirk and others on the Mavericks' side are also off the court, so the Mavericks' lineup has become Kidd point guard, Stevenson's position, Bryan's small forward, Peja's big forward, and Haywood's center.

Mavericks' possession, Kidd began to control the ball and slowly advance, and when he landed at the top of the arc, Peja's blocking also came, with the help of blocking Kidd broke away from Lowry's defense, and Peja was directly dismantled outside the three-point line.

Hit the ball and pass to Peja, who shook Scola who stepped forward to defend and then passed to Stevenson, who received the ball and dribbled a few steps to pass to Peja again.

Peja catches the ball and shoots, and Scola doesn't defend in time because he shrinks his position, which can be regarded as a good vacancy.

"Huh"

The empty three-pointer went into the net, and it could be seen that Peja felt good.

When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Lowry dribbled and protruded Kidd, although Kidd's defense was good, but Lowry's physical fitness forced him to push Kidd into the restricted area.

Pulling back, Lowry stood in a position to aim at the basket is a shot, and at this time, Heywood, who was protecting the basket, came over to help defend it, and looked at the basketball that had been out of Lowry's palm, and he didn't think about it.

"Smack"

The basketball was covered in the hand of the wing Brian, Dragic saw this and hurriedly took it out, Bryan also reacted in time to turn his back to Dragic, and this time the ball did not reach Dragic and did not stop and began to defend himself.

Passed to Kidd, who was already on the verge of going down, he made a hard layup, and in the face of Dragic, Kidd forced him into the box and then hooked up.

The "Didi" whistle blows, and the ball goes in.

Kidd gets a 2+1 chance.

stepped on the free throw line, Kidd hit a free throw steadily, and at 27:23, the Rockets were hit by the Mavericks with a wave of 6:0 to successfully close the score.

“nice！” Dirk, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't help but clench his fists, and at this time Dirk began to look forward to it, although the Rockets are now led by Yao Ming, but Dirk always feels that this bench player can surprise himself.

The game continued, the Rockets began to stabilize, and when they came to the frontcourt, Lowry didn't mess around, and after Yao Ming stood up, Lowry handed a pass to Yao Ming, ready for him to end the offense.

Yao Ming hit Heywood with the ball on his back, first pushed the opponent, and then after Heywood was pushed away, Yao Ming directly began to dribble and break through, and Heywood also hurriedly defended after regaining his center of gravity.

"Bang"

It's another top, Yao Ming turned around and got on a low-handed basket after finishing it, and the basketball was hollow into the net, this is Yao Ming, an existence that no one can prevent!

Even O'Neill could only sigh at Yao Ming and say, "I can't prevent him, he can't prevent me, all he can do is explode each other." ”

29:23

Kidd advanced with the ball, and after coming to the front court, Brian took advantage of the situation, and Kidd sent the ball to his hand with a second pass, and the latter received the ball and made a stop-and-go jumper, although the rhythm was not good, but he couldn't stand the depth of the breakthrough, and Brian hit a goal steadily.

29:25

The rocket still handed the ball to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming had just received the ball and the Mavericks began to wrap it, and Yao Ming reluctantly passed the ball to Dragic on the side.

Dragic dribbled to find his rhythm, and when he found his rhythm, he burst into Bryan, and then suddenly pulled back after fighting Brian's body and stood up to shoot.

“duang”

Under Bryan's interference, Dragic's shot went wide of the basket, and the rebound was also firmly won by Haywood, who was stuck in position.

Pushing the fast attack counterattack, Kidd received the ball and handed the ball to Peja, who was already in position, who caught the ball and shook Scola , although Scola did not jump, but Peja still began to break through.

Hitting the basket against Scola, Scola couldn't stop his breakthrough at all under Peja's weight, and gently pushed Scola with his hand, and Peja retreated to shoot.

29：27

The basketball hit steadily, and although Peja pushed Scola, only the two of them may know about it because of the secrecy of the angle.

The score was forced to close to 2 points, and Adelman began to call a timeout, and when he was pulled closer to four points at the beginning, Adelman was actually not in a hurry, because he believed that this group of veteran players could adjust.

But now it doesn't seem to be like this, three minutes to be beaten 12-4, Adelman really didn't figure it out, how did this come about?

In the face of the Mavericks' offense, Adelman changed his defensive strategy to a three-two defense, because of the end of Marion's top scorers, Adelman also felt that there was no need to continue to play around the front defense.

The game continued, and the Rockets finally stabilized the situation after changing their defensive strategy, although they completely limited the impossibility of the opposite side, but their shooting percentage was in a straight line.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Mavericks began to make substitutions, and top scorers such as Terry returned to the court, and Adelman did not rush to replace Summer and Harden.

39：34

Under the leadership of Yao Ming, although the score did not open to double digits again, it was very good to be able to open to five points again, after all, Dragic did not open in this game, Lowry did not open, and only Scola and Yao Ming were left to support.

Back on the court, Harden began to organize the team's offense, giving Harden two thumbs up in the summer and coming over to give him a screen, after which Harden broke through to the three-point line in one step.

At this time in the summer, the inside cut was also split, and for a while, the Mavericks' defense actually made mistakes, and Kidd and Marion actually chased Harden, so that Summer hurriedly braked and ran out of the three-point line. 、

At this time, Harden obviously saw Summer's move, and a jump pass that looked back at the moon handed the ball to Summer, and he took the ball and dribbled to shoot.

"Huh"

After finding the rhythm, the three points in the summer were also accurate to the basket.

42:34

The Mavericks began to fight back, Kidd arced high to Dirk on the inside, Dirk singled out Scola, and after pushing him away, he made his signature move, and the Rooster was independent.

Also in it!

42:36

Scola's expression began to frustrate, he had just faced Dirk and he was already defending with all his might, but it was really helpless that others could still enter him.

The Rockets counterattacked, Summer sent the ball to Harden, and as soon as he received the ball, Harden gave Summer a finger, which was ready to start singles, and when he saw this summer, he was also mindful, and when he came to the frontcourt, Summer called Dragic who came to answer to the side, and he also ran to the other corner.

At the top of the arc, Harden began to play alone, facing Kidd Harden first approached the three-point line with a cross-step, and then when Kidd pulled the ball, Harden quickly stretched out his left leg and dribbled the ball to his right hand.

Dribbling with his right hand Harden leaned on Kidd and slowly pushed up, when he hit Kidd for the first time, Harden made a pass feint with his back to him, and then took advantage of Kidd's attention to be pulled away and quickly turned around and burst into the inside.

Dirk came to help defend, Harden took advantage of the situation to hold the ball and walked the European step, and after the great change of direction of the European step, Harden bypassed Dirk, at this time Harden began to raise his left hand and tossed lightly in front of the basket.

"Huh"

Ball in, 44:36.

I have to say that Harden has practiced his European step superbly, maybe Harden's European step is the strongest in addition to the demon knife.

"Oh oh oh ~ European step from Harden, look at Dirk's stunned look, maybe he was shaken stupid, haha!" Our big-mouthed Buckley began to taunt Dirk.

You must know that some old players don't like Dirk very much, all because they think Dirk is too soft, as a big man you should play tough inside! But what about Dirk, he floats outside to shoot at every turn, and many insiders look down on Dirk when Dirk doesn't win the championship, including Barkley.
