Chapter 175 175, backward
The game continued, and the Grizzlies firmly grasped the initiative on the court, as if the Rockets' home court was their home court.
The Grizzlies played well, and even Parsons, who hadn't played for a long time, began to gain today.
As a sharp sword on the outside of the former Rockets, Parsons still has the ability, and now, when the team is dominant, Parsons' confidence is also high.
After receiving Conley's pass, Parsons took a step sideways, widened the distance between him and Tucker, and opened his hand to make a three-point shot.
Swish! The ball crossed a relatively smooth arc and plunged into the net.
This also made Tucker feel a little surprised, will Parson be able to return to the bravery? If Parsons returns to the level he had with the Rockets, then the Grizzlies will be more difficult.
Conley received the ball, still dribbling through the half court unhurriedly, and the rhythm of the game was always under Conley's control.
Leaning sideways, leaning on Blake with his shoulders, he pushed Blake all the way to near the top circle, dribbled under his crotch, and cut into the left.
Two steps later, Parsons also ran over, made a crossover with Conley, and quickly went down after receiving the ball.
As soon as there was a cross, Tucker was blocked, Parsons took a step and was near the free throw line, and Tucker could only speed up a step and try to steal the ball from behind.
Parsons is also an old turtle, so he naturally expected Tucker to come to this move, so he jumped up directly and made a small throw.
The ball goes in.
"Parsons was in good shape today!" Van Gundy Jr. said.
"I may have felt the pressure of my contract, so I trained hard this summer!" Kenyon Martin agreed.
Blake had no advantage in the face of Conley's defense, and after halftime, he distributed the ball to Cheng Lei, who was ambushed outside the three-point line at 45 degrees on the left.
Zhou Qi and Capela made a cooperation, ran directly to the bottom corner of the right side, and after a pause, they found that Wright was firmly following behind and had no chance, so they ran towards the 45-degree three-point line.
Tucker went down, and when Zhou Qi passed by, he stood firm and blocked Wright.
Cheng Lei made a big horizontal pass, from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left to outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
I have to say that the artist is bold, and this kind of large-scale transfer will be avoided by many teams as much as possible, and it is too easy to be broken.
Conley stretched out his hand to block it, and almost broke the ball, until Zhou Qi got the ball, Cheng Lei was relieved.
The Rockets are on the court today, and there are not many people who create equal opportunities on their own, so they can only rely more on various blocks and pick-and-rolls to get opportunities.
Zhou Qi's status on the field today is like an anti-aircraft gun on the outside, when there is an opportunity, don't hesitate to shoot directly.
He did exactly that, but this shot was light.
After Gasol Jr. grabbed the rebound, he waved his hand, and everyone realized that Parsons actually started to break fast.
"When did this guy become so aggressive?"
"Did this make sense?"
In everyone's astonished gaze, Parsons had jumped up quickly, equipped for a dunk.
Bang dang!
Everyone's eyes were straight, but they didn't dunk in, and the ball bounced out, bounced to the top edge of the rebound, bounced on it, and then fell again.
Either why do you say that people with good looks will not have bad luck, as a rich and handsome person recognized by the alliance, they naturally don't say anything about their appearance.
After the ball bounced and fell into the basket again, even Parsons himself couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll go, that's okay!"
"This luck is too good!"
The audience at the scene sighed.
In the next ball, the Grizzlies showed their iron-blooded defense, Cheng Lei took the ball, observed it, and found that the Grizzlies players always maintained a good defensive position and did not lose their position.
The clock was ticking by, twenty-four seconds were fast, and there were only eight seconds left, and the Rockets' ball was still on the outside.
When the ball reached Cheng Lei's hands again, there were six seconds left.
"The Grizzlies are very well defended!" Kenyon Martin praised.
"Indeed, this defense is a bit of a playoffs!" Van Gundy Jr. nodded in agreement.
Cheng Lei tentatively moved to the right, McLemore's defense was still very good, and he followed Cheng Lei quietly.
Bang bang...
After Cheng Lei dribbled the ball twice, he broke through to the right with all his strength, and his whole body resisted McLemore, and he burst strongly.
Wow...
Cheng Lei made an emergency stop in the middle of the journey, and suddenly there was a large disguise, the ball was changed to the left hand, without any stop, and went to the left.
Relying on the disguise at full speed, he directly threw McLemore away.
"Don't think about it!" McLemore suddenly changed his direction and pounced towards Cheng Lei.
Cheng Lei smiled, waiting for this moment.
The left hand pushes the ball to the right, which is another disguise.
McLemore tried to keep up, but his steps could not be changed, and he fell straight down.
"Oh my God, did I see Iverson?"
"What a beautiful continuous disguise!"
In the audience, cheers rose one after another, wave after wave.
Cheng Lei's goal could not change the situation of the Rockets falling behind, and the Grizzlies became more confident, and at the end of the first quarter, they led the Rockets by nine points.
Everyone didn't expect that in the first quarter, the Rockets would be so embarrassed.
"You guys, are you still drinking so much in the future?" On the bench, D'Antoni asked Harden sternly.
"Coach, we will definitely not drink so much in the future!" Harden patted his chest and reassured.
Not letting a few people play, bad form is one thing, and the most important thing is that the coach has to teach a few people a lesson.
"Don't take it as an example!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Harden nodded busily.
"Okay, second verse, just a few of you!"
D'Antoni waved his hand, and in the second quarter, Paul, Harden, Gordon, Ariza and Anderson were on the lineup, a typical small lineup.
"What the hell is D'Antoni doing? Five up and five down? Kenyon Martin asked, puzzled.
"Team Rocket, this is going to counterattack!" Little Van Gundy said as he pushed his glasses.
"I really don't understand Coach D'Antoni's intentions in the first quarter, if these main forces in the morning, it is estimated that it will not be possible to fall behind by nine points in the first quarter!" Kenyon Martin shook his head and said regretfully.
On the bench of the Rockets, there were five people warming up together, and under the leadership of Harden and Paul, everyone did it very seriously.
"It's up to you!" Cheng Lei took a sip of his drink and said.
"Don't worry, Ray, look at us!" Harden said confidently.
Cheng Rad's Anthony didn't pay attention, and Harden asked softly next to Cheng Lei, "Ray, do you still have that second pot?" ”
"Be quiet, be careful to be heard by the coach, I'll get you a box later!" Cheng Lei said lightly.
"Give me some too!" Paul leaned over and said.
Cheng Lei made an OK gesture, "No problem, all of them, but we said okay, we can only drink less each time!" Can't get drunk in rotten! ”
