Chapter 212: Continued Slump
After half a quarter, Roy was still in a slump, and he had many good opportunities under the cover of his teammates, but unfortunately they all ended in iron, which also made Harden let his guard down.
With such a cold touch, Harden doesn't think that Roy can do any damage to him, so Lowry and Scola also play, this is the rotation time of the Rockets, because considering the physical problems of Yao Ming and Battier, these two will also be out of the court every time the first quarter is more than half of the time.
"Hey, good fight, I'll leave it to me." Scola said to Yao Ming after the substitution.
Because most of his teammates are newcomers, it is necessary for Scola to take over the burden and lead them to continue to fight in the summer after Yao Ming's departure.
"Yes, come on." Yao Ming replied softly.
Yao Ming was also in a very happy mood when the team's record was good, so he spoke with a relaxed tone.
The game resumes at 19:10.
In the case of Roy's poor play, the opener's offense was not opened, and the other scorer, Aldridge, was also slow to play under Yao Ming's defense.
The Rockets possessed the ball, Lowry took over the organization, and Harden also started his journey against Roy under the expectation of the lottery.
Dribbling into the frontcourt, Lowry switched to Roy under Harden's cover, and then Harden cut inside, but because Wesley's close defense Lowry did not pass the ball to Harden.
After cutting inside, Harden saw that the ball was not passed and had to run out after sparing a lap in the penalty area, and this circle also successfully brought out Marcus on the inside, and Lowry's eyes lit up this time!
The low post is big and small, even if Hassan's back play only learned a little Yao Ming's fur, Lowry doesn't think Wesley's 198 little man can resist Hassan.
Dribbling under the crotch, Lowry's body leaned slightly, making a move to break through, and Roy immediately adjusted his defensive position to prepare to defend Lowry's breakthrough.
Flip the basketball, after Roy let go of the breakthrough route to the left hand, Lowry dribbled the basketball to the left hand and broke through, of course, Roy reacted quickly to Lowry's breakthrough, but how is Roy now Lori's opponent.
The lack of strength in both knees makes it difficult for him to fight some fierce breakaways like Harden and Lowry, and the kind of breakthroughs that rely purely on strength can be difficult for Roy.
Entering the free throw line, jumping passes, the basketball fell into Hassan's hands accurately under Lowry's command, Hassan received the ball with a smug smile, basically did not need to play any fantasy footsteps, and hit Wesley a few times Hassan dunked.
21:10
The score was stretched to double digits, and Roy also felt deeply guilty, if it was his previous self, he would never let Lowry pass the ball easily, let alone let Lowry break through easily.
"Knock, knock!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Roy hammered his knee hard, this was the first battle of his comeback! Would you like to give me some strength!
The openers attacked, and the coach still didn't call a timeout to change the offensive plan, or to create opportunities for Roy, but after giving Roy a few covers, the openers found that the Rockets were different.
Because of Battier's downplay, Roy's counterpoint became Harden, and in view of Roy's previous performance, Harden actually boldly left Roy with enough vacancy! It seems to say that you can vote casually, if you can get into one, I will lose!
This is a provocation! Naked provocation! Roy's heart began to roar, and after a while, the basketball flew into Roy's hand, but he still didn't defend it, and the Rockets' interior line actually made people feel very solid for a while after more Harden's contraction.
"Whew" took a deep breath, Roy began to aim at the basket, shooting, the posture is very standard, although the jump height is not so high, but it is still a beautiful shot.
“duang”
Basketball is still playing iron, this is Roy's sixth shot in the opening game, but without exception, all of them are off!
“shit!” Roy glanced at his knees angrily and began to defend back, Roy's performance in this game was really bad, and because Roy's open shot was not allowed, Adelman also gave up calling a timeout.
After all, what Harden did just now really made people very angry, and as a result, Harden still didn't seriously defend Roy, if Roy really hit the ball, maybe Harden would also have to sit on the cold bench.
It's normal for people who don't listen to the coach to have this fate.
But is Roy really not going to work? Do you want to let him go three points empty? Adelman couldn't help but think about it after Roy didn't shoot, and as a head coach, Adelman had to think about it.
Let's take a look, but if Roy throws in, he will have to call a timeout, Adelman thought about it and made a decision, although Roy's performance is very bad, but such a player cannot be underestimated.
The Rockets attacked, Lowry also seemed to find Roy's mistake in the breakthrough just now, because the breakthrough just now was too easy, so after getting to the frontcourt, Lowry didn't play any tactics, and just handed the ball to Harden OK.
"Roy, you're really not good, I thought it would be very difficult to deal with you today, but now it seems that it's like that." Harden said mockingly after receiving the ball.
"You! shit! If it weren't for the injury, I would have invited you home for a doughnut! With your skills, I could have played ten before! Not to be outdone, Roy replied.
"Oh~ So what, living in memories? Since you said so, then I'll invite you home and eat donuts, how? ”
"Shit, then you can try it! See if you'll be thrown off the field by me! ”
The trash talk between the two escalated for a while, and it seemed that Roy was also said to be angry by Harden, but so what, although Harden respects Roy very much, but this is the game! It's just about winning and losing! And not look at the means!
So a lot of people say that it's dirty and trash-talking, but it's also part of the game, smart players will play with smart methods, and talented people will naturally play with talent.
For a player like Harden who has good talent but has asthma, he will use whatever way is easy and what way he can win, of course, there is a bottom line for this, and Harden will not do anything that hurts the player.
Dribbling under the crotch, breaking through, no extra feints, extra dribbling, anyway, Roy's state is not good, and Harden naturally will not use extra strength to deal with Roy.
With Roy, entering the restricted area, European step, Harden's signature trick, the best European step except for the demon knife, directly shook off the bag and scored an easy layup.
23:10
The opener still didn't call a timeout, and seemed to be blindly believing in Roy, because Roy is a white mamba, a star at home, and their ace player, so everyone is believing that Roy can adjust himself.
Even though the adjustment process was long, the opener still didn't give up, just because it was Roy!
Roy broke through and was attacked, shot iron, Roy still didn't play for four minutes, although he scored four points, but the efficiency was scary, this time the opener finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout, Roy was off.....
