Rocket offense, Dragic passed the ball in a few consecutive rounds, obviously some are not very happy, the authoritative media ESPN has commented on Dragic's style of play, Dragic belongs to the aggressive, scoring first left-handed point guard. Excellent finishing ability as a defender; The shot is weirdly unstable, above the shoulder, and almost every time it hits to the left.

Dragic, who wants to attack the main offense, obviously underestimated Chen Shu's defensive skills, and with the addition of defensive sliding, Chen Shu's defensive awareness has come to 83 points, plus 79 points of steals, and the threat of steals from opponents who dribble to find opportunities at any time.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Dragic did not give up, although Martin on the outside was already asking for it, but he still used the small space of lateral movement to use his unique shooting posture to throw the basketball off his shoulder! And Chen Shu didn't completely lose his position, and tried his best to jump off the block!

At this moment, Chen Shu could feel the air flow from the basketball across his fingertips, just a little bit! However, although Chen Shu failed to block, his interference was already in place, and there was no accident, Dragic projected a 3 on the outside! There was a scramble under the basket, and finally the basketball went out of bounds, and the Suns had the ball!

This is a successful defense, many Chinese fans on the scene gave Chen Shu warm applause, Alexander and Morey on the sidelines looked a little gloomy, although they also admired this Asian point guard, but not long after the opening, the fans turned against the scene, which made them unhappy.

Martin, who was ignored by Dragic, did not say anything, in fact, this is also very normal, although Martin is the nominal boss of the team, but Martin's character is a good man, he does not have the majesty of a leader, plus Martin has declined greatly this season, so Dragic, as a potential newcomer, did not give him too much respect!

The Suns attacked, Chen Shu broke through Dragic again, and scored the inside Gortat, and dunked! On the other side, Dragic obviously did not give up what he thought was the advantage, that is, individual attack, but under Chen Shu's defense, he had no way to break through at all, and could only call Scola to block and dismantle.

To tell the truth, Dragic's blocking and dismantling was really sharp, and sure enough, Chen Shu was delayed by Scola, and Dragic accurately seized this opportunity, completely rushed up, drove straight in, and hit the basket, but Gortat under the basket is not dry, he has already opened his arms and blocked Dragic's passing route, the latter can only force a layup, but under Gortat's interference, he did not succeed.

The Suns won the rebound, played a quick counterattack, and Brown received a long pass from Morris in the frontcourt, like a thousand miles running, and after receiving the ball, he scored a dunk in three big strides.

In the blink of an eye, the Suns overtook the score. In the next few minutes, the young Dragic fell into a circle of thoughts, and the coach gave him the opportunity to play fair with Lowry, so he cherished this opportunity, he knew that he was not as steady as Lowry, and at the moment his offensive level is still slightly superior. But the more you try to show yourself on the offensive end, the less fluent the tactics will be, and the lower the success rate of the offense.

Under the advantages of one another, although Chen Shu's hand is not very good, the Suns rely on smooth tactics and a more complete system to gradually occupy the advantage on the court.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Suns were 18-12 ahead of the Rockets by six points. At this time, McHale couldn't stand it anymore, and replaced Dragic, who scored only 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting and had 2 turnovers at the same time, and replaced Lowry, a small steel gun.

This adjustment for the Rockets, it can be said that the effect is immediate, Lowry is not only steady, but also very smart, the ball quotient is very high, in the 6 minutes off the court, he saw the situation on the court very clearly, the Suns, the main point of attack Chen Shu has not been able to open the outside line for a long time, all he has to do is to insert Chen Shu's breakthrough and ball. On the Rockets' side, Martin has a strong desire to attack, and it looks like he feels good today, and with such an offensive arrow, what else is there to say.

As soon as Lowry came on the court, he relied on his own strength to break through the inside line against Chen Shu, Chen Shu was not completely out of position, and kept following closely. However, Lowry's experience is obviously stronger than Chen Shu's, and between them, Lowry made an emergency stop, held the basketball in his hand, and jumped directly! How could Chen Shu let go of this opportunity and obviously give himself a hat! Immediately rose from the ground, and slapped it with a big hand running for the basketball! Everyone, including Chen Shu, felt that Lowry's timing was very bad.

However, the next moment, it was found that Lowry was using his thick waist in the air, and with a flick, the basketball flew to the bottom left corner, and Martin, who was ambushed here, received the ball steadily! The body goes straight up and down! 3 points shot!

"Huh!" The audience at the scene did not hesitate to applaud themselves! In the past two seasons, Martin has used his excellent offense to bring them a visual feast! Although this season, there are fewer exciting games, but it is clear that in this game, Martin has a tendency to break out.

The audience's idea was right, and then, under Lowry's tandem, Martinley burst out and caused a foul each on Brown and Gortat! After playing the whole quarter of the game, Martin shot 5 of 7, including 2 of 3 points and 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 15 points, 1 rebound and 0 assists in a single quarter!

Although the Rockets played a good offense driven by Martin's thin arrows, the Suns were not weak, and Chen Shu had 2 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Why is Martin a thin arrow, because although the Suns can't stop Martin with hot hands, on the offensive end, Martin doesn't bring much hindrance to the Suns!

The score was 28:28 in the first quarter, and the two sides were tied!

Compared with the back and forth in the first quarter, in the second quarter of the game, the Rockets had an all-round advantage, and in the first half of the game, Lowry took Chase Battinger, Jordan Hill and other high-quality substitutes to abuse the Suns. At one point, there was an orgasm of 11:2. In the second half of the game, Chen Shu and other main players who came back from rest appeared, but McHale made you think of a countermeasure, and continued to use the countermeasures when the two sides played against each other in the last game, that is, Parsons, who was tall and long, and did not suffer from speed, strictly guarded Chen Shu, and used Lowry's assistance to organize Chen Shu's breakthrough, plus Chen Shu's outside line was not opened, the Rockets stabilized the lead and continued to expand their results.

At halftime, the score was 46:57. The Rockets led by 11 points, Martin played seven minutes in the second quarter, scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting, and had 23 points at halftime, while Lowry also took advantage of Martin's excellent touch to brush up on five assists.

On the other side, in the first half, Chen Shu made 2 of 8 shots, 0 of 4 from the outside, and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 7 points and 5 assists, and also had 3 turnovers. Chen Shu had no choice but to kill under the basket, but fortunately, Chen Shu's offensive methods under the basket were not bad, and it also caused one foul each of Lowry and Jordan Hill. The Suns trailed by 11 points at halftime, which was still based on the premise that the Suns played well inside, and Gortat shot 6-of-10 from the field and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points and 6 boards. Morris had eight points and three rebounds.
