Chapter 224 224, Rubio's three points
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides replaced their bench players, which was also the first time Cheng Lei met the original Eagle King, Joe Johnson.
Although Joe Johnson is no longer young now, and his playing is not as violent as before, as a former boss, the offensive means are very rich.
Back then, if he could mix with the status of a team boss, then this person's strength will definitely not be weak, and now, Joe Johnson takes a group of benches to challenge the bench bandits of the Rockets.
After coming up, Joe Johnson took the ball, and all his teammates pulled away directly, leaving the court empty and letting him play Cheng Lei alone.
Cheng Lei only studied Joe Johnson from the video materials, this is the first time he has officially faced Joe Johnson, but Cheng Lei is not intimidated at all, now the alliance is powerful, if you want Anthony like this, you have also defended yourself, there is no reason to be afraid of a Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson opened his bow left and right, as if he was familiar with the field, and suddenly, he began to move, and after a large disguise, there was no other fancy action, just started at full speed and went directly to the inside.
I'll go, why is this guy's style of play similar to LeBron's? Cheng Lei thought that in the past, when he watched LeBron play on TV, he would just run it into it directly after he got up at a speed, and he bulldozer played.
originally thought that Joe Johnson would at least be false yesterday or something, but no, it was so direct that Cheng Lei didn't react for a while.
was directly hit by Joe Johnson, holding a ball like a bomb, rushing towards the basket.
rushed all the way to the basket, Cheng Lei chased after him, watched him jump up, and thought, there is no need to use foul defense anymore.
Joe Johnson played the first ball and beat Cheng Lei successfully.
"Young man, your body is average, remember, you have to practice more!" After the goal, Joe Johnson raised the muscles in his arm and said to Cheng Lei.
"Thanks for the reminder!" Cheng Lei also answered the sentence, ran back directly, ready to attack.
As the host, it is necessary to return Joe Johnson to one, and after Blake dribbled through the half, he also passed the ball directly to Cheng Lei.
Gordon also made a block with Blake very tacitly, ran directly in the opposite direction of Cheng Lei, and took away the defenders around him as much as possible.
Cheng Lei looked very calm in the face of Joe Johnson, who was defending himself, Joe Johnson's speed was much slower than before, and this was really Cheng Lei's advantage.
Suddenly start, towards the increase of horsepower, quickly to the left to kill.
Sure enough, Joe Johnson's pace slowed down and was half a position ahead of Cheng Lei, Joe Johnson wanted to catch up with Cheng Lei and make up for the half-step gap, but in front of Cheng Lei, who was accelerating at full strength, Joe Johnson chased in vain.
I could only watch Cheng Lei rush in front of him, and when he pulled away to a distance of two steps, he made a sudden stop jump shot.
This kind of shooting, Cheng Lei is still very confident, and easily hit a mid-range shot.
"Joe Johnson probably didn't expect that the newcomer on our bench would be so strong!" Paul looked at the field with a wicked smile, if it was Joe Johnson in peak condition, it would be no problem to defend Cheng Lei, but unfortunately, he is now in too much of a slip in form.
The ball is back in the hands of the Jazz, and of course, it's Joe Johnson who is attacking, and he's always believed that offense is king compared to a thankless defense.
However, this time, Cheng Lei, who was very prepared, did not have a good effect, turned and passed the ball to Burks, who scored a three-pointer.
Cheng Lei rubbed his chest while running, good guy, Joe Johnson's impact was so strong, he still felt pain when he hit his chest.
needed to alleviate a little, so Cheng Lei didn't choose to attack, and after tentatively doing two disguises, he saw Gordon cut into the basket in the air, and directly hit the ball and passed the ball through the gap.
Gordon received the ball and went straight to the rebound.
The two sides played off the bench, and the Rockets had a slight advantage, but it was only an advantage on the field, and the score was always only a three-point lead.
The time was almost up, and both sides changed their main forces again, but coincidentally, the Rockets continued to keep Cheng Lei on the court and replaced Ariza's position.
And the Jazz also left Joe Johnson on the court, and the two sides pointed to Maimang, and they were completely on the bar.
On the Rockets' side, Harden missed a shot, and after Gobert won the rebound, he passed directly to Rubio, who seized a quick opportunity.
Paul was the only one who retreated, Harden was just in a daze, and before he could react, the Jazz were two freshmen in the frontcourt, and Sefrosa and Rubio were passing the ball to each other tacitly.
Paul will also have no choice but to gamble and pounce towards Sefrosa, after Severos saw Paul coming, he passed the ball from behind, and after Rubio received the ball, he licked the basket directly.
At this time, Harden only caught up here, and it was too late.
"Brother Deng, were you looking at a beautiful woman just now?" Cheng Lei teased after passing by Harden.
If this were someone else, Harden would definitely have to turn his face, but Cheng Lei would be different, and now he looks like Harden's iron buddy.
"Don't tell me, I just saw a beautiful woman in the stands!"
"Then let's watch later, I'm talking about winning the ball first!"
Harden probably didn't miss the low-level mistake just now, and took the initiative to reach out to Paul for the ball.
As a master of rhythm, Harden's dribbling rhythm is very good, after continuous crotch dribbling, his right hand quickly pulls the ball, and then the whole person accelerates to the right.
After Sefrosa followed, Harden shook to the right, making Sefrosa think he had to break through to the right.
At this time, after Harden dribbled the ball under his crotch again, the ball was changed to the left back, and then the whole person took a big step backwards.
He stepped back to shoot, and by the time Sefrosa reacted, Harden's ball was already out.
The score is tied.
"Brother Deng, I find myself adoring you a little!"
"That's easy to say, you can send me a few cases of liquor later!" Harden said cheekily.
Harden's play can't be stopped by the Jazz, and now as far as the entire league is concerned, there is no one who can completely stop Harden from scoring, and the only one who can stop him is himself.
However, today's Jazz team is really like a god, Rubio, who has always been inaccurate in three points, actually shot three points, and he really threw it, but Paul didn't care too much, and when he defended, he still put him two meters and let him shoot three points.
This time, Rubio was really competitive, and under Paul's nose, he threw another one.
It made Paul a little unbearable, and when Rubio held the ball outside the three-point line again, Paul's defense followed up and stopped letting him shoot three-pointers.
"Actually, I'm going to shoot three points! Well, my three points are okay! Rubio didn't forget to taunt Paul.
"You're making a three-pointer, I'm going to shoot a three-pointer, how about it!" Paul replied directly.
