Chapter 225 - 225, take down the sworn enemy Sir
Rubio's two three-pointers made Paul dare not let him shoot from beyond the three-point line so wantonly.
With the two getting closer, Rubio will be able to find an opportunity to break Paul instead of having to block every time.
After the goal is achieved, Rubio will not blindly shoot three points, after all, three points are not his strong point, and he will definitely not be allowed to shoot more.
The two sides are now tightly bitten, and everyone is holding their breath to see who can't withstand it first.
Now, the most helpless is Sefrosa, although he has tried his best to defend Harden, but, no way, Harden feels very good today, and he doesn't need to use foul skills.
Now, the Jazz's interior is still their strong point, and the outside firepower is definitely not as good as the Rockets, so they still play the interior as always.
This time, the Rockets' tactics are also targeted, and they can't let their interior play too comfortably, so D'Antoni ordered everyone to go to the interior more and strive to create more damage to their interior.
This kind of foul making task is left to Harden.
After Cheng Lei ran over and helped Harden block and dismantle, Harden successfully got rid of Sefrosa and killed him inside.
Seeing that Harden was about to go to the basket, Gobert took the initiative to make up for it, but when Harden saw Gobert coming to make up for it, he was overjoyed, and the whole person went towards Gobert.
Not surprisingly, Gobert was whistled for a thug foul.
Harden got his wish and made two free throws.
However, Harden only hit one of two free throws this time, missed the second free throw, and Gobert made up for the rebound.
Rubio advanced quickly, wanting to steal one, and the Rockets were fully prepared this time, and all the players defended quickly, and Rubio did not succeed in sneaking up.
Rubio stopped outside the three-point line, and then, with his shoulder, Paul on his shoulder, made a quick break to the right, at which point, Favors played a lift.
directly blocked Cheng Lei and gave Joe Johnson a good opportunity to cut into the air.
Rubio made a pass in the middle of the line, and after Joe Johnson received the ball, he stopped directly on the spot and scored two points.
The Jazz team is worthy of being a team that is good at blocking and dismantling, and every time they block and dismantle, they can block people very well.
On the Rockets' side, the speed did not decrease, Paul ran all the way, and in the face of Rubio's close defense in two disguises, Harden glanced at Cheng Lei, and Cheng Lei immediately ran towards Harden.
Without the ball, Harden went straight down and ran inside, everyone thought Paul would pass the ball in, but Paul didn't, but passed the ball to Cheng Lei outside the three-point line with a backhand.
Joe Johnson only lost a little bit of position because of his grade, but Cheng Lei's shooting speed was too fast, and when he blocked it, the ball had already been shot.
Before the ball hit the net, Cheng Lei turned back arrogantly and prepared to go back to defense.
Swish...
The ball went in, and now it's constantly replaying this pretending action.
"This guy is really getting more and more like Curry!" In the stands, Hicks sighed.
Of course, the Jazz team is not to be outdone, Rubio's speed is still very fast, and after a block, he opened up the distance with Paul, and Paul can only keep chasing after him.
Tucker stepped forward and tried to stop Rubio.
At this time, Rubio did not panic at all, and his speed did not slow down, and when he reached Tucker's side, his center of gravity was lowered, and he quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch with both hands, and then took a small jump.
directly opened the distance with Tucker, jumped up again, made a small throw, and scored two points very smoothly.
The two sides just went back and forth, and after the first half, the score was always tight, and this time, it became 53:50 for the Rockets, temporarily leading by three points.
After entering the second half, the Rockets suddenly began to exert force, first Harden, who made a three-pointer, and then Paul hit two three-pointers in a row.
Then, in the assist, Cheng Lei threw a three-pointer and played a wave of 12:5 climax, which opened the score at once.
As soon as the score was expanded, the Jazz team couldn't hold their breath anymore, and the playing action began to get bigger.
Perhaps inheriting the Malone tradition, Gobert also began to elbow, no, a turn showed the elbow, and Capela was pushed hard.
Capela isn't a loser either, and since you're elbowing me, don't worry about me playing dirty.
When Gobert jumped, Capela directly made a yin move and pushed Gobert in the waist very covertly.
Gobert's hand shook by this sudden blow, and the ball didn't put it in the basket and slid out.
Capela poked the ball out of the sideline as he scrambled for a rebound.
"Capella, it's okay!" Seeing that Capela was still rubbing his chest, Cheng Lei walked up and asked.
"I've been elbowed, just slow down!"
Cheng Lei was not happy, at home, the other party dared to use small actions, so he walked to Harden and Paul, said a word, and nodded tacitly.
The Jazz's possession, the ball is in Rubio's hands, if nothing else, it will definitely be passed inside, at this time, Cheng Lei has already paid attention to the situation under the basket.
Moreover, Harden consciously leaned towards Cheng Lei.
Paul tried his best to block Rubio's view so that he couldn't notice what was going on on Cheng Lei's side.
As soon as Chuan pierced his hand, Cheng Lei started to run inside.
Gobert still wanted to force Capela, but when he turned around confidently, he felt that the ball in his hand suddenly became very heavy, and when he looked at it again, he kept slapping the ball with his big hand.
Cheng Lei cut off the ball directly from Gobert's hand.
It was passed directly to Paul, and unexpectedly, Paul did not hang fast, but slowed down and waited for his teammates to settle down.
Then, looking at Harden and Cheng Lei, he nodded.
This time, it was Harden who helped Cheng Lei block and dismantle, and after Cheng Lei received the ball, he rushed inside with all his might.
The goal is clear, to lure Goebel out.
Joe Johnson's pace was too slow, and he couldn't keep up with Cheng Lei's pace at all.
Gobert also stood up for the first time to make up for the defense, and Cheng Lei was waiting for this opportunity.
Jumped straight up, made a layup, and waited for Gobert to jump up and block.
Cheng Lei threw the ball directly, but not towards the basket, but towards the side.
As the king of cakes, at this time, it was time for Capela to perform, after receiving the ball, he jumped up for the first time, Gobert just landed, and before he could react, a figure landed on his head.
Bang dang!
Capela clasped his hands violently and was knocked out directly by Gobert, who fell to the ground.
Cheng Lei used his own method to help Capella breathe out a bad breath, believing that this violent buckle was enough for him to sweep away the haze in front of him.
With this slam dunk, the Rockets were on the verge and maintained the advantage of the score until the end.
In the end, the Rockets won 115-108 against their arch-rival Jazz.
