Chapter 147: The Third Giant (Part II) (3/5!) )
The basketball was like a cannonball, straight across the entire half, over the gap between Millsap and Peja, and directly into Petrus's hands.
Petrus received a big three-pointer and made a direct three-point shot.
"Huh!"
The hand rises and falls, and the three-point shot is made.
The cheers at the scene shook the sky.
Tang Tian nodded at this time.
Unlike Paul, although he is also a playmaker, Billups does not have the same strong individual offensive ability as Paul, so his passing requires accurate judgment to achieve, in other words, the balls that Billups can usually assist are the kind of balls that can change the offense of the round.
5-2, Billups made two accurate passes to help the Rockets take the lead in the opening period.
The Hornets' offense, Paul found West to block this time, and after the ball was dismantled, West, who faced Billups and shot before Petrus was trapped.
"Huh!"
West's shot hits, and his touch looks good.
The Rockets' offense is still the same tactic, and after Pieterson switched to Billups, he took a step back.
He was really bitter in his heart, he was blown up by Maddie in front of him, and he thought that Maddie's absence would be a little better, but Billups on the other side was obviously not good at stubble.
Seeing Pieterson's choice, Billups directly chose to shoot three-pointers.
Peterson pounced, but was far out of reach.
"Huh!"
Billups' three-pointer goes through the net.
"Chauncey~~ Billups!!" The live DJ shouted Billups' name.
"Mr. big, I almost forgot about him!" Brin in the commentary booth shouted.
"Yes, we all forgot that when Yao and T-mac played well, he was a green leaf, but now that T-mac is absent, he stands up and he is only 30 years old, which is the golden age of a point guard!" Jackson is also full of emotion, and as a point guard, he knows far more about Billups than the average person.
Billups has been underrated in his career because of his style of play and his weak attacking ability, and he is destined to be underrated in the future, but it is only in the game that you can find out what a good player he is.
2 assists and 1 3-pointer, from second passer to main point of attack, Billups is a seamless switch.
On the Hornets' offense, Paul and West played a block and a pick-and-roll, and then split West after the ball was split.
Petrus caught the ball very quickly, and West had no chance to shoot after receiving the ball.
However, West's vision on the field was good, and the ball went directly into the hands of Peterson on the outside.
An open three-point opportunity.
"Bang!"
Peterson didn't grasp it, and the three-pointer went out of the basket.
He shook his hand frustratedly.
Scott reached out for his forehead at half court and shook his head helplessly.
It's rare for the Hornets to have such a good shot.
But in fact, he is not to blame, he, a 3D player, was blown up by Maddie for 3 games in a row, this Maddie was finally absent, and was teased by Billups for a while, a normal person will have psychological fluctuations, and once the pitcher has a problem in his heart, it is very difficult to maintain the feeling.
The Rockets' offense, Billups also looked for Petrus to block and dismantle, Pieterson's face was dark, and this time he pressed forward.
Billups was another precise change of direction acceleration, and Peterson's old arms and legs couldn't keep up at all.
Petrus takes the ball and smashes it to the basket.
West came to help, but the rest of the Hornets didn't dare to move.
Billups makes a behind-the-back pass to Millsap.
West had been dipped by Millsap before, and he was on guard and went straight to the recovery.
But the moment he recycled it, Billups pulled the ball back and scored with a light low-handed layup.
"Oh my God!" Brin in the commentary seat exclaimed, Billups actually played West!
Tang Tian also laughed at this time.
Behind the fake fax shot, it was Iverson and Rondo who impressed the fans, but in reality, it was also very simple for Billups.
At 10-4, the Rockets continued to pull away from the gap.
With 5 points and 2 assists, Billups didn't perform well enough for Paul on the other side.
The Hornets' offense, Peterson suddenly took the initiative to block Paul when he arrived in the front court, and after the ball was removed, he brought Billups to the high position on the right wing, and then directly pressed Billups to reach out for the ball.
It was an off-set-up tactic, but Peterson was resolute in his position.
He also wants to save face!
Although he is old, he used to be in the Raptors, he also won the NCAA championship, was the core of the Raptors, and had a player who averaged 16+ per game in the season!
Paul gave the ball in.
Despite the difference in the team's low post, Peterson is the locker room boss and has not performed badly in the regular season and in the first round.
Peterson catches the ball and shoots straight away.
In this era, the swingman of the forward guard, the low post back play is a must-practice skill, Peterson is much taller and heavier than Billups, and he is still very confident in this back hit.
The Hornets also opened up space for other players on the court at this time.
"Bang! Bang! ”
The two fought fiercely physically, and Peterson found an opportunity to turn around with another fight.
However, at the moment when he exerted his strength, he suddenly felt a lightness behind him, and the center of gravity of the whole person fell directly backwards without control.
There was an exclamation at the scene.
At the moment when Pieterson exerted his strength, Billups directly made a "remove the bench" action, which directly made Peterson lose his focus, and the whole person sat on the ground and fell on all fours.
Peterson fell, and the ball in his hand lost control.
And at the moment when he lost control, Billups rushed out from the side, grabbed the ball directly, and followed directly forward to attack.
Paul was still on the outside at this time, and when he saw Billups breaking fast, he went straight to make up for it.
Billups was very steady with the ball, basically keeping Paul on his non-dribble side and not giving him easy steals.
At this time, the players on both sides were half a beat slower, and they all began to run wildly towards the backcourt of the Hornets.
Billups rushed to the three-point line, turned his head to look at Petrus, who was two meters away from his right, and then suddenly jumped up and down, and went straight to chase down the three-point shot.
It was so sudden that Paul didn't expect it to be too late for him to jump and interfere.
"Huh!"
Billups' chase three-pointer hits again!
13-4, the Rockets' lead came to 9 points!
Scott reached out and called a timeout.
"It's incredible, this is Chauncey's best game since joining the Rockets!" Brin couldn't hold back his emotion at this time.
"This is Mr. big, when you don't need him, his presence is very low, but when you need him, he can stand up immediately, in fact, this season many fans say that the Rockets are still a team with Yao and T-mac, but I want to say that Chauncey is worthy of the third big man of the Rockets!" Jackson was full of praise.
