224 Gladiators

Suffocate!

A suffocating victory!

But the point is, we won!

The Houston Rockets won the Battle of Kings Mountain!

With Stephen Curry's ultra-long three-pointer in the final two seconds, the Rockets went 98-94 at home. Yang Yiming ran to hug Chris Paul for the first time. Paul had just strained his thigh in the final round of his regular offense and had to struggle to get up off the court. The Warriors hit 4 Cook missed a three-pointer in an open position, the Rockets shot a rebound out of bounds, Curry missed a throw, the Warriors fouled Ariza who made one of two free throws, Draymond Green missed a chance to equalize the ball with a dribble error, and Gordon was fouled after a steal. He hit both free throws, and the Rockets extended their lead to four points and sealed the win.

Only then can I make time to comfort Paul, the hero of the victory.

Yang Yiming was closest to the Rockets' bench, and he ran straight to Paul and picked the latter up high. Although Paul had strained his thigh muscles a few minutes earlier, he never sat down for treatment, but insisted on standing on the sidelines and waiting for the final results to be revealed. Yang Yiming rushed up and lifted him into the air, and the team doctor was so shocked that he stopped him again and again, for fear that Paul would fall down and aggravate his injury.

But Paul had already been carried to the center of the field. He was like Jordan after the shutout of Jazz, and was shouted by his comrade-in-arms Pippen on his shoulder. Paul clenched his fists and enjoyed the bowing of the audience.

No, not enjoyment.

Paul is the gladiator who won tonight's arena, overcoming the enemy and the tiger wolf in the bite of life and death. His black robe resembles a blood-stained helmet, and his head held high proves that I am the strongest fighter!

In the first quarter, the Rockets were able to continue to limit the Warriors' scoring, 23-17. But after the trial, the Warriors immediately returned the favor in the second quarter and equalized the score before halftime. The third quarter was the top priority, the Rockets defended frantically, trying to suppress the Warriors by defense, but the Warriors couldn't score, and the Rockets themselves were dragged by the high-intensity defense!

Even the god-like James Harden missed consecutive shots - today he shot 0 of 11 three-pointers - the Rocket's life hangs by a thread, like a soldier who has been slashed several times, to fight back to stop the bleeding!

It's Paul who plays the hero!

49 draws, Paul singled Looney, three-point retreat and soared. 52 to 49.

53-54, Paul ate Jordan Bell alone, and Bell was already pressing step by step from halftime, defending against his face, but Paul still forced a three-point shot. 56 to 54.

56-57, Paul and Curry battled. The offensive time was about to run out, but Curry, who was at the same level of speed and strength, didn't shake Paul out of any useful angles, Paul threw it outside the three-point line, and hit the whistle in 24 seconds! 59 to 57!

Paul shrugged his shoulders in front of Curry: Let's see who can shoot the fairy!

Iron-blooded Paul, bring out the iron-blooded Rocket!

Yang Yiming hit two big hats in the first quarter, one to Draymond Green, who tried to dunk one-on-one, and the other to Kevin Durant, who hid behind Capela and gave it to Kevin Durant, who made a layup!

With four games of competition, Yang Yiming is now more comfortable defending Durant. In the third quarter, Durant hit three shots, and Yang Yiming forced the opponent to drift and shoot while on the move, and the track was short; In the second ball, he restricted Durant outside the three-point line, Durant raised his hand to make a foul, but Yang Yiming cleverly dodged it and forced the shot to miss; In the third ball, Durant wanted to counterattack and hit the Rockets by surprise, but Yang Yiming stuck his position and forced the former to go outside, and after the physical confrontation, the shooting power of the board was obviously greater, and the Rockets rebounded in the backcourt!

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Durant hit his first shot of the second half. Yang Yiming was originally well defended, and Durant ran out of the vacant position with Green's cover, but he still didn't leave an inch; Durant pulled out his hand, and Yang Yiming saw the right time to shoot the ball away! It's a pity that the referee actually blew the whistle and sentenced Yang Yiming to a foul, and the audience booed!

Amid the boos, Durant hit two free throws.

76-75, the Warriors chased only one point!

São Paulo is also needed at critical moments. Yang Yiming blocked and dismantled, Paul switched to a heads-up with David West, he retreated to the center circle, pulled away from the stance, paused in an acceleration match, and went directly to the basket and shot high in front of the two Warriors. 78 to 75!

Thompson hit a two-point shot from open space to make it 78-77.

Paul played against Livingston, Yang Yiming and Capela continued to cover him along the three-point line, he got rid of Livingston and Durant, and faced David West! This time, he stretched in the air, used his waist and abdomen strength to stay in the air, and forcibly found an angle to push the basketball out! Actually went in! 81 to 77!

But even so, Paul was still killing.

He also needs to insert the last deadly sword into the struggling tiger and wolf enemy!

At 90-86, the Rockets led by four points. The Warriors are united, and they know that if they defend the Rockets' offense, they have every hope of tying or even turning the game around. And the good news for them is that the Rockets' main player Harden has consumed too much energy, and his three-point shot is completely devoid of his usual crosshairs, so everything is betting on Paul!

Under the care of the entire Warriors team and the attention of nearly 20,000 people at the Toyota Center, Paul attacked! His feet and wrists changed at the same time, shaking a gap with rhythm, twisting his body to wipe Thompson and reach the three-point line, but the Warriors still had heavy guards in the restricted area. Durant, Green, this combination of tall and strong, like two mountains blocking the path of Paul, who is 183 tall!

The audience held their breath!

Even Yang Yiming, who played together on the court, felt suffocated. He was ambushed in the bottom corner of the three-point position, his feet and body seemed to be fixed, neither dared to reach out to receive Paul's ball, nor did he dare to leave the bottom corner position to rush to grab the rebound, he could only stare dryly and watch Paul kill himself to Tiger Mountain!

Chris Paul really jumped headlong into it!

He feigned rushing at Green, forcing his opponent to take a step back, and then changed direction and leaned on Durant. This one-time choice successfully allowed Durant to block Green's blocking line! Chris Paul and Kevin Durant one-on-one! I saw Paul push against Durant's weakest abdomen like a steel ball, and then took a big step back, twisted his body diagonally, hooked out with one hand, and sent the ball out!

The basketball hits the rebound and smashes it on the basket. One, two, three!

If it had been suffocation just now, it would have taken the air away from all the rocket fans.

But Paul fell to the ground, and he had already begun to celebrate with his fists in advance.

Sure enough, the ball bounced three times off the basket and landed in the net.

92 to 86! The Rockets built a six-point lead.

Paul used what he had to do to plunge a sharp blade into his opponent's heart!

He almost used himself to win the rare victory of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain for Team Rocket. Yang Yiming put Paul on his shoulder, in the center of the field, like a triumphant general. The crowd and the uproar of the crowd almost swallowed them up, but Paul finally recognized what Yang Yiming, who was lifting him, was saying to him.

I only heard Yang Yiming's voice say firmly: "Chris, I will have a way to return it to you for all the strength you gave to our victory." He patted Paul's strained right leg again and said, "Don't worry, I can get someone to heal you!"
