Chapter 499: Staying Power

"It's not going to be easy now!" Old Dunleavy slapped his palms, and now the fox brother has also committed four crimes, and the inside combination they are proud of is all wiped out. ↖ ↖ ↖ Top ↖ Story, www.

Little Jordan has been beaten by Yao Ming at the moment, and the elder Dunleavy thought about it and replaced him with Jeffries to try to make Yao Ming foul. But this substitution is too late, Yao Ming will be in just the right state, and he can't even feel fatigue for the time being, how easy is it to make him foul?

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, the crazy Yao Ming scored four points again, scoring 16 points in a single quarter to give the Rockets a five-point lead over the Clippers into the final quarter.

Ji Guoyi, who was originally crazy, fell silent in the last three minutes, but the fox brother also scored 15 points in the third quarter and had three assists.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 70-75, and the Clippers trailed by five points.

Yao Ming played the third quarter, and what the two teams didn't expect was that he played more time than his twin brothers in the third quarter.

The Clippers scored just two points in the final four minutes, and the offense suddenly went silent, allowing the Rockets to overtake the score in one fell swoop.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers brought on: Dragic, Crawford, Barnes, Amir. Johnson, Ji Guoqiu.

Brother Panda only played seven minutes in the third quarter, and Dunleavy Sr. didn't plan to replace him again in the fourth quarter.

After a timeout in the third quarter, Dunleavy Sr. kept encouraging the players, "We played well, just five points behind, and the fourth quarter kept the high intensity, the Rockets kept playing badly in the fourth quarter, we can finish them in the fourth quarter!" "Dunleavy Sr. is not a player who fools himself, and five points behind the Clippers is indeed not a difficult point difference for the Clippers to catch up, and it can even be said that it is a five-point point difference. They can overtake in a minute.

The Rockets know that too. Adelman knows better. Today's victory or defeat will depend on whether they can continue to open the score in the bench period, and the only advantage the Rockets have over the Clippers may be their bench lineup.

Adelman was substituted in the fourth quarter: Brooks, Weaver, Ariza, Scola, Mutombo.

Scola didn't get many chances today, and Adelman knew he was better on the offensive end than David Lee. But his footwork disadvantage will make the Clippers' interior more difficult to deal with, and weighing the pros and cons, Adelman prefers to use David in this round of the series. Lee, and then let Scola bully the Clippers' bench interior.

However, Scola himself does not think so, and defense is not just about athleticism, otherwise he would not have led Argentina to almost pull the United States down.

The Clippers' interior combination in the fourth quarter was Ji Guoqiu and Amir. Johnson, Scola used his own self-comprehended fantasy dance moves to bring Amir to the top of the game. Johnson was stunned, who had a little more experience than Jordan Jr. But in the final analysis, these two are stunned young people who play on their bodies. When encountering a technical flow, you can only be beaten.

Scola scored four points in a row, and the difference immediately came to 9 points, and the elder Dunleavy hurriedly called a timeout, Ji Guoqiu had two previous shots, but the Clippers players did not hit under the Rockets' defense.

What should I do if I miss the ball? The old Dunleavy can only let Ji Guoqiu attack by himself, Crawford is obviously not in shape today, 3 of 11 shots, this shooting rate is definitely not good.

The Rockets are not stupid, knowing that your role players can't shoot accurately, they will definitely wrap up your core, and after the game restarted, Brother Panda was really caught in the middle, and it was Crawford who shot in the end.

"Bang Bang"!

Crawford's shooting percentage directly became 3 of 12 shots, which is not low, but terrible.

Dunleavy Sr. soon couldn't stand Crawford's continued squandering of the Clippers' chances, and after a timeout, he changed the lineup to: Dragic, Afflalo, Barnes, Jeffries, Ji Guoqiu.

This time, the Clippers not only replaced Crawford, but also replaced Amir, who was beaten by Scola. Johnson, using Jeffries to defend Scola.

Old Dunleavy this change of formation has achieved good results, and Jeffries is not like Amir. Johnson was so prone to feints that Scola finally got interfered with his third shot and the basketball deflected off the basket.

"Okay, let's defend it like this!" Ji Guoqiu loudly encouraged his teammates, now 9 points behind, chasing points must start from defense.

The Clippers did a good job on the defensive end, but the offensive end still didn't have much look, Ji Guoqiu would be pasted by the Rockets players if he didn't wait to get into position, and he would be caught as soon as he caught the ball, and the Rockets' strategy was to let other Clippers players shoot, and not let the animal brothers score.

Adelman replaced Uncle Mu before, and replaced David Lee as a center, although the height difference is a lot, but David Lee can keep up. Adelman instructed David Lee not to wait for the position to defend again, and once he passed the midfield, he immediately posted it, and did not let Ji Guoqiu receive the ball.

At 9 minutes and 30 seconds in the fourth quarter, the elder Dunleavy hurriedly replaced Billups, and at this time he had to change to another fulcrum to share the pressure on Ji Guoqiu.

The Rockets also brought in Marbury early, and Adelman could guess with his ass that Dunleavy Sr. would definitely have to replace Billups to solve the problem.

Billups faced Marbury, although he used Ji Guoqiu's cover to break into the interior and make a layup, but Marbury turned around and forced a three-point shot, which widened the gap between the two teams to 10 points.

"Damn, if it goes on like this, we'll kneel." Ji Guozhi felt that this was not the way, the Rockets returned to the home court today, the state of the whole team was extremely good, and the referee no longer targeted Yao Ming, the Rockets suddenly became a lot stronger, but it was the Clippers who were going to collapse in the fourth quarter, and he hurriedly took the initiative to ask to play.

Old Dunleavy didn't agree, let him rest for a while, wait until the last 7 minutes, and then naturally send him up.

Ji Guoqiu had the help of Billups, and the two continued to block and dismantle, and Ji Guoqiu finally scored his first goal in the fourth quarter, which was an 18-foot high jumper that was forced into Scola's defense.

"It's not going to work, it's hard to shoot a high jumper, it's not going to be a high shooting percentage, you have to play a quick counterattack, or a three-point shot." Ji Guoqiu knows that it is difficult to overtake the score with such an attack, and he must play an attack wave to recover the disadvantage, and the best way is to counterattack quickly.

Adelman didn't give the Clippers a chance to switch, and quickly brought on Ariza and Battier to solidify the team's defense. Now the Rockets have instead begun to play defensive counterattacks, and the gap between the two coaches is clear at a glance. A coach who can make good use of the substitute lineup. Definitely a good coach. Including the later Haier refrigerators.

The main force is not powerful. Substitute supply, then naturally have to find the reason in the main force.

Under the signal of Ji Guoqiu, the Clippers played a tight defense for a while, but Marbury's passing and control skills were solid, and it was difficult for him to make mistakes like Westbrook when the joint defense was pressing, but it allowed Ariza to get a chance to relay in the air, and the old horse hit the ball through the Clippers' defense.

At 6:55 in the fourth quarter, the score became 78:88. Billups came on the court to help the team stop the rhythm of the collapse, but it was still too strong to chase points, and the Rockets played too well today.

The elder Dunleavy replaced Ji Guosha, and at the same time replaced the inexperienced Afflaro with Garcia, and this was the final decisive battle.

The Rockets also replaced Yao Ming, and the main lineup also returned to the court.

The Rockets fans in the Toyota Center Arena cheered loudly for their home team, the Clippers are now ten points behind, this is not their biggest problem, the Rockets' home atmosphere is the worst. This means that it is difficult for them to bring out their full energy. And the rocket can exert 100% of its energy in such a frenzied atmosphere. One trades off the other. That's why home-court advantage in the playoffs needs to be contested with a full 82 regular season games.

Ji Guoyi's fourth quarter was not as unhealthy as he imagined, his recovery ability was far better than Yao Ming's, and after a half-quarter break in the fourth quarter, his body was still full and he could continue to charge on horseback, which was the most experienced by the little singer.

"Our staying power is hanging!" Ji Guoqi was heartless, and at this time, he actually took the time to glance in the direction of Little Hermione, so angry that Ji Guoqiu wanted to kick him.

The Clippers triumvirate returned to the court, and the Rockets suddenly didn't dare to take the animal brothers lightly, and Ji Guoshi singled out David. Lee won the game, hit both free throws, and got his 30th point.

Yao Ming also got a full rest, at this time, Ji Guoqiu's body lì was a little unable to keep up, he went around the front to defend, this kind of defense on the player's body lì consumption is greater, as long as you think about Yao Ming's weight of more than 300 pounds, Ji Guoqiu and his wrestling for a whole game, for another person, it is estimated that he would have been tired and lying down, but Ji Guoqiu can still attack and defend a hand, this body lì is also a pervert.

"Damn, it doesn't seem like you were so tired from playing the Lakers last year?" Ji Guoyi felt that today's rocket was completely beyond his expectations, and he thought it would be easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Needless to say, how soft my sister-in-law is, it's easier to beat the Lakers than to fight the Rockets." Ji Guoqiu felt that at least he wouldn't be so tired of beating the Lakers, and he could still bully his soft sister-in-law.

The two brothers were thinking about it, Yao Ming received basketball on the inside, and the Rockets also found some ways to crack the Clippers' defense around the front after the first two games. As soon as Yao Ming was able to receive the basketball, Ji Guoqiu could only stretch his arm as much as possible to interfere, but Yao Ming's hook in the penalty area was really incomprehensible, and the basketball crossed Ji Guoqiu's head and accurately landed on the basket.

The Clippers attacked, Ji Guoyi hit a jump shot, Marbury immediately assisted Battier to shoot three points from a distance, and the Clippers' efforts to chase points came to naught again and again under the unity of the Rockets.

Billups made a shot from the outside at a critical moment, deceived Marbury into a foul, and made all three free throws to chase the score to nine points.

Ariza missed a three-point jumper from the left wing, but Ji Guoyi's fast-break dunk was ghostly dunked. Battier got the basketball that Ji Guosha dunked, and the Rockets immediately launched a counterattack, Yao Ming had just not run past the midcourt and fell last, and at this time he just turned his head and became the first person to break fast.

However, what embarrassed Yao Ming was that he started half a court in advance, and was actually caught up by two brothers under the basket, what speed is this Nima? It's just a hanging ratio!

Rocket fans feel that it seems that Yao Ming is too slow, and the speed of the little giant really needs to buy a recharge plug-in to improve it, and they can't look at it directly.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Marbury, who followed up, and the lone wolf threw the ball in, and at 4:05 in the fourth quarter, the Rockets led by 11 points again.

With less than four minutes left in the game, Ji Guoqiu forced a breakthrough layup to chase the score to 88:97. Then the Clippers did not panic, still steady and steady to catch up slowly, Ji Guoyi steals Yao Ming, who is a little weak on the defensive end, and makes a fast layup, and the Clippers narrow the difference to 7 points.

It's a pity that when the Rockets come to a critical moment today, someone will definitely stand up, and Marbury, who played equally well today, once again hit a three-point shot to curb the Clippers' counterattack, and the difference returned to 10 points.

Then Yao Ming used his last body to score two goals in a row, and in the last 50 seconds of the game, the score was 94:104, the Clippers were still 10 points behind, and Ji Guoqiu was sent out for 6 fouls before, and the Clippers' hope of a comeback was completely disappointed.

"Damn, I can't win with a triple-double, what the hell!" Ji Guoqiu rarely cursed when he came off the court, he got a triple-double today, but he also left the court with six fouls, and the team also lost, without the slightest joy of getting a triple-double.

The final score was 98:108, and the Rockets took advantage of the home court advantage, the whole team played well, and with the explosive seeds of Yao Ming and Marbury, they finally avoided the tragedy of falling behind 0:3. The Rockets don't want to be swept away, and now that they win the first home court, it will be different, as long as the second home court is won again, the two teams will return to the same running line, and it is uncertain who will live or die.

Ji Guoqiu got 12 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 blocks in this game, Ji Guoqiu 32 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, Billups 15 points and 5 assists, and Crawford 6 points.

Yao Ming had 44 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, Marbury had 20 points and 10 assists, Scola had 10 points and 5 rebounds, David Lee had 12 points and 8 rebounds, Battier had 8 points, Brooks had 8 points and Ariza had 6 points. (To be continued......) R527
