On January 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Houston Rockets challenged the New Orleans Pelicans away.

A showdown of four All-Stars.

The outside combination of Yang Yiming and James Harden of the Rockets against the Pelicans' interior twin towers, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.

Among the four, except for Cousins, who was squeezed out because Yang Yiming was selected as the starter, the remaining three were all starters - and until the final round of voting results were released, Cousins was actually far ahead.

was "killed" by an unknown person at the last moment and squeezed out of the starting list, will this big boy who has a very stinky temper just take advantage of this game to show his anger in his chest?

Everybody is watching!

Surprisingly and reasonably, the unsuccessful quasi-All-Star CP3 Chris Paul took the lead. The Rockets were able to build a slight lead in the first quarter, but they lost more and more in the second and third quarters, and by the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were already trailing by as much as 10 points.

In this difficult situation, Paul was still unhurried and confident. His hand was hot, rainbow rain fell outside the three-point line, and the step-back jumpers, dry pull-up mid-range shots, and marching throws attached to the paint area were all caught.

The shooting was clearly not enjoyable, and Paul and the Pelicans' guards battled it out. The first unlucky was the No. 34 Deandre Liggins in the rotation lineup, Paul was a dragon all over the court, striding and jumping happily, his hands were shaking, Liggins was shaken and dizzy, and he wanted to make Paul an offensive foul, but he didn't find that he had stepped into a reasonable collision zone. Paul simply slammed his shoulders neatly, Liggins was knocked into the audience, and CP3 easily hit the board.

The next unlucky one is No. 11 Jrue Holiday . Paul fought with him, and the baseline ball was sent out against the floor and rolled all the way to the midfield. Holiday probably snickered, thinking that the All-Stars would also have a misjudgment when he could break the ball by throwing himself to the ground, and Paul came first and grabbed the basketball from the floor. Holiday stumbled, and Paul shook the ball on the back of the former's head, making him completely confused, and watched Paul shoot a three-point shot in front of him.

The last to fall under Paul's clutches was No. 21 Darius Miller. This guy saw that the boss Cousins was asking for the ball on the outside but Paul quickly cut the ball out, and he wanted to make up for the boss and brush up his presence. Unexpectedly, Paul was so dazzling that before Miller could dodge under the basket, Paul hung on Miller's hand first and forced the referee to blow a foul. Two plus one!

Paul made another free throw, and the Rockets trailed by just four points at 92-96!

But now that there is the topic of Yang Yiming snatching the Cousins All-Star starter before the game, this game already has the flavor of fate, and the final decisive moment really depends on the dislocation of the two people!

On the day of the 27th, the NBA league also announced the coaches for the All-Star Game, and the coach of Stephen Curry, the captain who represents the West, is also from the West. According to the rules, the All-Star coach is the coach of the team with the best record in the East and West, but he cannot be re-elected, so Curry's head coach Kerr can take a vacation, and the Rockets' veteran coach Mike D'Antoni will take over the coaching whip.

But unexpectedly, on the first night of the announcement, coach D'Antoni encountered a huge challenge!

The Rockets were always behind in the fourth quarter, so what about the All-Star coach? It's raining for three minutes!

106-109, the Rockets shot 5 of 9 three-pointers in the first quarter, and this time it was Yang Yiming's turn to join the game. Paul and Harden attracted most of the attention at the top arc position, the ball turned to Eric Gordon at 45 degrees, the latter did not have greed and passed a hand, Yang Yiming in the bottom corner received the ball, feints to steadily shake the defensive Holiday and move sideways to a three-point shot!

The two sides are back on the same starting line!

Although Yang Yiming and Cousins did not face each other head-to-head in this round, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides has gradually become stronger! Cousins and Anthony Davis worked together inside, and Davis ran and just swapped his defender Yang Yiming for Cousins. The latter saw that he had the opportunity to eat strongly, and after winning the ball, he twisted his body like a spinning top and screwed into the inside line. Yang Yiming is also good at defending recently, although his body is half stuck behind, but his arm is always above Cousins's head, but the big kid is actually brave and strategic, and he doesn't force the shot, and throws the ball back to the vacant Davis, who hit a two-point shot!

In the next round, Yang Yiming also made a move, watching the excited DeMarcus Cousins was attracted to him outside the three-point line, he made a shooting feint at random, and Cousins was sent into the air. Cheated three-point shooting foul to win!

Yang Yiming hit two free throws in three ways, and the two sides tied again!

After all, the test god is the test god. In this fateful duel, he was completely inspired by the calmness of Yang Yiming, a junior. With 18 seconds left on this offense, Pelicans guard Miller tried to shoot the three-point line in the bottom corner, Cousins Yang Yiming Capela Davis wrestled under the basket, Yang Yiming used his hips to resist "Thick Eyebrows" Davis, grabbing some space, but he didn't expect the basketball to bounce to the other side. That one is Capella and Cousins the No. 0 monster!

Cousins repeated the same trick again, using a human spinning top to push Capela, who was originally closer to the basket, behind him. The basketball was impartial, and it fell right into his hands after the basket.

Left Hand Shooter!

No blocking, easy to put in two points!

There are also additional penalties!

Cousins hit two free throws, the Pelicans led by three points 115-112, and Cousins' technical statistics have come to a triple-double of 15 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals!

It's time for the Rockets to strike back!

The ball was naturally handed over to the boss James Harden, who received Yang Yiming's sideline ball and got rid of the guard to shoot a three-point shot. Referee Whistle – Three-Point Shooting Foul? No, the referee watched the video replay and ruled that it was an early foul before the shot!

There were only two free throws.

There are only 1.8 seconds left

It means that after Harden hits the first free throw, the second free throw must be deliberately deflected, and the Rockets grab the offensive rebound to have a chance to equalize. This is the arrangement of the coach of the Curry team in the 18-year All-Star Game, and it is also the consensus of the two All-Stars on the court, Harden and Yang Yiming!

Even Harden whispered to Yang Yiming in advance before the free throw:

The lower end of the front of the hoop.

The only obstacle to the tactical arrangement is Cousins next to Yang Yiming!

Harden's free throws this time deliberately aimed for a few more seconds, in order to aim at the front of the basket on the one hand, and on the other hand, to attract the Pelicans rebounding defender to move early, so that his teammates have a chance to make a late attack. Yang Yiming did the same. His superhuman ability to absorb and analyze moving images came in handy at this point, and in less than half a second the basketball was thrown from Harden's fingertips to the basket, he had already analyzed the situation under the basket thoroughly. Capela held Davis down this time, and the two tangled up on the line of the reasonable collision zone on the left side of the basket. Cousins took a step ahead of the curve and protected the basket with his back diagonally. entered the line in advance, Yang Yiming thought secretly, but the referee estimated that he would not blow the penalty. Now it's all about how to grab that frontcourt rebound!

Yang Yiming, who had a clear understanding of the situation, came up with a plan, he did not play cards according to common sense, but turned his back to the basket and jumped back to back with Cousins. But Cousinska's position is obviously not as accurate as that of Yang Yiming, who was prepared for a long time, the latter was directly below the rebound of the basketball, and Cousins was squeezed behind instead, and the ball was like a good baby jumping off a tree, falling into Yang Yiming's arms, and Cousins would be powerless!

But how can God give up just now!

He slammed into Yang Yiming who was stuck in the air diagonally, bent one hand behind his back, and barely pulled the ball out of Yang Yiming's hand and lifted it into the air. The basketball flew over the basket, almost the same height as the timer, but fortunately, the ball went straight up and down, and Yang Yiming maintained his balance in the air, and was able to jump again immediately after landing, and with a little finger, he dialed the ball in!

Equalizer?

No, Yang Yiming, who scored, looked a little frustrated, could it be...

Sure enough, the ball had been in the air for too long, and the clock had already turned red when he touched the ball!

The referee ruled that the lore was invalid!

Cousins, who was still fighting for the ball with him just now? At this time, he is falling next to the sideline, his expression is hideous and painful!

Don't...?!
