"Paul, it looks like the Raptors are putting the victory and defeat on Lowry!" Harden assisted Tucker on a quick offense and hit a mid-range shot and spoke to Paul as he returned to defense.

"I'm not going to let him play so comfortably!" Paul said confidently.

As the first point guard in the league, Paul is also very good at defense, in the eyes of many people, Paul is very disadvantaged, but he is in the position, the defense is very good, naturally has his own methods.

Today's Raptors are also a respectable opponent, and they have played very tough so far.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, De Shuai called a timeout, it's time to decide the winner, and the battle that can be resolved in regular time should not be delayed until overtime, there are too many uncertainties in the extra game.

"Everyone has also seen that the strength of the Raptors in the regular season is very strong, so the rest of the time, there can be no carelessness!" De Shuai first glanced at everyone and reminded.

"The opponent's first choice of offense now is Lowry, Paul, the pressure on you is not light, you must keep an eye on him, and, Ray, DeRozan is always a character that cannot be ignored, even if he doesn't shoot much now, but it is very likely that he will come to attack at a critical moment, so there can be no slackening in his defense."

The Raptors' current style of play is centered on the garbage brothers, and after Ibaka joined, the originally not strong interior line has also been improved by a level, and now, the deterrent power under the basket is not small, so, at the last moment, there can be no slackness in defense.

Today, the Rockets' three-point shooting was not opened, but a few were thrown in one after another, and the scoring was often obtained by air cutting and ball-sharing, so the score was firmly bitten by the Raptors.

Harden relied on his own advantages, constantly scoring inside, and the entire front played relatively smoothly, at least, after he went in, the Raptors didn't have a good way to take themselves.

After the timeout, when he returned to the court, Harden called on DeRozan's tightest defense.

At this time, it's not the time to be vindictive, both sides want to win the final victory, so they are desperately defending everything, even the most depressed Caberclo in the whole game, also adopts the defense of close defense, and follows Cheng Lei step by step.

A newcomer can be targeted by this kind of defense, which shows that the Raptors coach still recognizes Cheng Lei's strength.

Without a good passing route and a pick-and-roll without too good opportunities, Harden chose to attack on his own.

However, after Harden burst in this time, he hesitated in the face of DeRozan, and he didn't know what Harden was thinking about at the time, so he actually chose a posture with his back to DeRozan.

"Brother Deng, is this going to be a back-to-back single?" Cheng Lei kept breaking out in a cold sweat in his heart.

In usual training, Harden is most unsure of the back single, although he is also constantly practicing, but the effect is not very good, what Harden is best at, and the last threat is his face frame attack.

At this time, he actually used his back to play singles.

Although Harden likes girls with big buttocks, his own butt is not very big, and in this regard, he has no advantage, and he can't fight it with big butt like Barkley.

Bang, bang, bang!

After confronting DeRozan a few times, Harden found that he couldn't get a good position, and at this time, Harden himself was a little anxious, and it couldn't go on like this.

The moment Cheng Lei saw Harden's back, he quickly ran towards Harden, Harden's current back skills are not enough to deal with DeRozan, which Cheng Lei knows very well.

When Cheng Lei appeared in Harden's sight, Harden was also relieved.

Directly passed the ball back to Cheng Lei.

This made DeRozan a little surprised, at the moment of life and death, the team's boss would take the initiative to pass the ball to a rookie, DeRozan didn't know that Harden didn't have much confidence in his back single.

Harden, who was out of the ball, was liberated at once, and in the moment DeRozan was stunned, Harden turned around, bypassed DeRozan, and rushed to the basket.

Cheng Lei made a quick ground-hitting pass, the ball was passed against DeRozan's leg, and after Harden received the ball, he was already facing the basket.

This is what Harden is good at, facing the reinforcement of Ibaka, the European step is used, detouring to Ibaka's weak side, and hitting a left-handed layup.

"Brother Deng, it's too scary for you to go here, next time, don't use your back to fight alone at such a critical moment!"

"Isn't this a sudden brain short-circuit, thinking of the back-to-back singles that we practiced twice when we were training for two days, the ghost knows why it was suddenly used."

"Uh, but that action has improved a lot!"

"It's really fake, no wonder I feel like I'm doing it a little smoother!"

The two of them stepped back as they talked.

"Defend, defend, defend!" The fans in the Rockets stands took the initiative to stand up and began to cheer for the home team rhythmically.

"Defend this ball, the final smoothness belongs to us!" Paul clapped his hands and encouraged his teammates, and in the final decisive stage, it was all about fighting for one breath.

Whoever can hold on to this breath until the end will be able to achieve this victory.

After Lowry dribbled across the halfcourt, he saw DeRozan leaning on Cheng Lei, who was defending, and constantly pressed Cheng Lei to the three-point line, and Lowry knew that DeRozan was going to pull it out quickly.

Sure enough, the next moment, DeRozan slammed outside the three-point line.

Lowry passed the ball straight away.

When life and death were at stake, DeRozan couldn't care about so much, but he didn't choose to beat Cheng Lei, he was always afraid that Cheng Lei would break his feet, so he chose to cooperate with his teammates.

This is not Ibaka directly came up to block and dismantle, Ibaka's blocking and dismantling quality is very high, directly blocking Cheng Lei behind him, helpless, he can only change the defense, Tucker went to defend DeRozan.

Facing Tucker, DeRozan doesn't have so many concerns.

Directly took the ball and rushed inside.

When I'm a good bully? Tucker didn't want to, you didn't break out just now, you burst out as soon as you change the defense, you really think you're a decoration.

Tucker is not a good-tempered person, and without saying a word, Mu is very strong and DeRozan is physically confrontational.

Bang bang bang ...

The sound of muscles colliding constantly, where it looks like playing ball, the two are more like hand-to-hand combat.

DeRozan is not LeBron, and he is not used to this kind of blind physical confrontation, so he is looking for a place for his teammates.

Seeing Lowry rushing over, he decisively wanted to pass the ball to Lowry, but as soon as the ball was passed out of his hand, he regretted it, and he saw a figure rushing up diagonally.

Cheng Lei saw the time, took a step ahead of Lowry, and broke the ball.

At the same time as Cheng Lei broke the ball, a record was directly released on the big screen on the scene, and now, the league's average steals per game are actually Cheng Lei's first, and now, with an average of 2.4 steals per game, this made many fans on the scene unexpected, and everyone called together.
