Although Cheng Lei played very well at this point, it was still not enough when the Nuggets played at full capacity, and at the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets led the Rockets by five points.

Harden and Paul can't play these two points for a long time, so Cheng Lei has no good way.

The two bigwigs may be really afraid of receiving injuries and have been playing closely, Paul's determination to break inside is not very strong, and the offense is basically based on outside shots.

As for Harden, he didn't break through much today, there were fewer breakthroughs, and there were fewer touches, and in today's game, so far, Harden has only scored five points from free throws, which is much less than before.

In the first three quarters of the game, on the Nuggets' side, Millsap, who responded near the free throw line, gave full play to his mid-range shooting ability, and in the first three quarters, he had scored 18 points.

It can be said that Anderson's defense against Millsap is very inadequate.

Anderson's style is still relatively outward, and Millsap's lack of rim protection has not been grasped by Anderson.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets could only replace Tucker, hoping to use Tucker's vitality to block Millsap.

"Ray, your breakthrough still needs to be played more intensely to create some opportunities for the outside!" D'Antoni emphasized.

He also knows that Harden and Paul are more afraid of injuries, and at this time, they can only rely on Cheng Lei to rush inside, and the deeper the burst, the more opportunities there will be outside.

"Harden, you help Ray do a good job of blocking and picking, and then, just wait for three points outside!"

"Paul, the pace of the team can't slow down, you still have to give it your all!"

After the break, back on the court again, the Rockets' expression was very solemn, if Harden and Paul couldn't play, the probability of losing was very high, and the reason why they were only five points behind so far was completely dependent on Cheng Lei's excellent performance.

In the third quarter of the game, Cheng Lei has scored 25 points, and he is only one mid-range shot away from his personal best score.

"Wilson, you're out of luck today!" Cheng Lei said secretly in his heart.

Up to now, in order to cooperate with the team's attack, in fact, Cheng Lei has often converged on part of his offensive ability, and now, he is going to release it with all his might.

Boom... Boom...

After Cheng Lei slowly dribbled the ball twice, he no longer chose to look for a chance to shoot, but broke through in detail, and then continued to squeeze Wilson sideways with his body.

Wilson felt what the top power was, Cheng Lei didn't seem to have a very strong body, but it contained no less power than LeBron.

Just as he lowered his center of gravity and went all out to defend Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei keenly noticed the change in Wilson's center of gravity, and after taking a step directly sideways, he made a quick stop jump shot in front of Wilson.

Wilson didn't expect Cheng Lei to move so fast, it was too late to block, so he could only try to block Cheng Lei's eyes and cover his face to defend, Cheng Lei was also a veteran among them, and he had long been used to this kind of defense.

When Wilson covered his face with his palm, Cheng Lei had already thrown the ball extremely quickly.

"Wilson, you're too slow to guard me like this!" Cheng Lei began to talk trash and wanted to disturb Wilson's state of mind.

Wilson didn't care what Cheng Lei was saying, after Cheng Lei scored, he ran straight back, ready to start attacking.

"It's kind of interesting, this guy can't get in!" Cheng Lei thought secretly in his heart.

By this time, the Nuggets' offense had already begun.

Millsap was near the free-throw line again, but this time it was Tucker who defended him.

Tucker's style of play is different from Anderson's, he is much tougher than Anderson, and his defensive intensity is much stronger than Anderson's.

However, the three-point threat is not as strong as Anderson's.

Drip....

When Cheng Lei was defending, a crisp sound suddenly sounded, which made him feel a thrill, this voice was what Cheng Lei dreamed of, but since he came last month, it has finally sounded again.

Ignoring the defense, Cheng Lei immediately checked the system in his mind.

Sure enough, another quest was posted.

"Two dunks in this game!"

The back is still a familiar routine, "The task can't be canceled!" ”

When he saw the punishment that could not be completed at the end, Cheng Lei's face turned green, recalling his stomach ache for three days last month, and the feeling was really indescribable.

This time, the punishment was not so severe, it was just a continuous nosebleed for a week, and it was also specially marked with irregular nosebleeds.

However, in Cheng Lei's opinion, it is relatively simple to complete the two straps that may be equivalent to the last task.

You just need to cooperate well with your teammates, and it shouldn't be too difficult to complete.

"Ray, don't be in a daze, next to you!" Paul reminded.

Cheng Lei paused, his eyes returned to the court, just in time to see Wilson rushing past him.

This guy, while holding himself up to check in his mind, directly broke through the past.

Cheng Lei immediately sped up at his feet, chased towards Wilson, watched Wilson rush directly to the basket, jumped, and was ready to dunk, Cheng Lei also chased up at full speed and jumped up against Wilson.

Probably sensing Cheng Lei chasing after him, Wilson folded in the air and changed his posture, preparing to dunk the ball into the basket.

Cheng Lei also used a screen in the air to force his abdomen, and the whole person was very abrupt, as if he stopped in the air for a short time.

Waiting for Wilson to fold and lift the ball up, Cheng Lei slapped a big palm on the ball.

Super ability to stay in the air, vigorously set the board, this goal is enough to enter the forefront of the top ten defenses, the scene is also crazy, and the Rockets fans all stood up and cheered loudly, regardless of whether they were still in a backward state.

Seeing that the Rockets were suddenly inspired by the momentum of a rookie, the coach of the Nuggets immediately called a timeout, and directly wanted to snuff out the momentum of the Rockets in the cradle.

The Nuggets are arranging strict defensive tactics, and the Rockets are on the side, seeing Cheng Lei's momentum, De Shuai of course encourages Cheng Lei to continue to play like this.

Cheng Lei also expressed his opinion, and with this momentum, Cheng Lei said that he wanted to enter the inside line to block their center.

"Ray, are you crazy?" Harden asked incredulously.

Jokic, the center on the opposing side's interior, is a fierce character, and if he pulls him down, it will be troublesome, and if the ball doesn't go in, it won't matter, if he gets injured, it will be worth the loss.

"Ray, you don't really want to do that, do you??" Paul asked, too.

"Hmm!" Cheng Lei nodded firmly, "Let them see, we can also play with iron blood!" ”

Looking at Cheng Lei's determined expression, Paul and Harden were also infected, "Okay, we will create opportunities for you!" ”

Since Cheng Lei is so resolute, De Shuai specially arranged two sets of tactics for Cheng Lei.
