Chapter 46: The Rain Keeps Falling (Part 3)
Davis saw the Rockets' defensive adjustments, directly took the ball and broke inside, and in the face of Yao Ming, he directly chose to accelerate the layup.
In addition to the three points, the beard's breakthrough is also top-notch in the league.
Yao Ming's footsteps couldn't keep up, so he could only watch Davis make a layup with a low hand.
But at the moment when Davis made a move.
A long arm slammed above his head.
"Smack!"
Millsap rushed out of the diagonal side and raised his hand to make a big hot pot.
A pegboard hat!
The rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.
The Rockets quickly hit a counter-attack, and Maddy rushed to the frontcourt, met Richardson, and made a three-point stop before shooting.
"Huh!"
Three points back!
The Rockets opened with three three-pointers in a row!
The cheers of the fans at the scene reached a small climax, and this three-point rain made people's blood boil.
In the Warriors' offensive round, seeing that the Rockets were still defending 2-3, Davis once again chose to break through with the ball.
Before the game, he said that he would beat the Rockets with offense, and now he has to deliver on what he said.
This time he made an eye out for Millsap after the breakaway, a pull-up layup.
The layup was so coherent that Millsap couldn't block it at all.
However, he chose to pull the rod to shoot, but gave Yao Ming time.
At the moment when he made a move, Yao Ming had already turned around and returned to his position, and his big hand was directly covered.
Davis dodged for a while, but Yao Ming's deterrence was too great, and the angle was obviously off after the basketball shot, and he came directly to the basket to cross the bridge.
The rebound was won by Millsap, and the Rockets pushed back again.
This time it was Alstom, who quickly attacked the front court and saw Davis defending himself, he made a breakthrough feint, followed by a step-back, and shot three points directly!
"This choice ......" Brin was about to say that the ball was handled unreasonably, but the words did not fall.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Alstom's retreat three points returned!
Brin was dumbfounded, and Miller's eyes widened on the side.
The Rockets opened with 4 three-pointers in a row!
And it was three people who voted!
It's a blast!
Old Nelson couldn't sit still and got up to call a timeout.
The fans at the scene couldn't sit still, and got up from their seats like crazy to cheer, and the whistles came and went.
Before the game, Davis said that he would use three points to beat the Rockets, but judging from the opening, it was the Warriors who were going to be defeated by three points!
As the Rockets left the court, Kerr stood up and high-fived them.
"Well done." Tang Tian also praised the players.
All the training and waiting off the field is just for the performance on the field at the moment.
Coming back from the timeout, the Warriors added off-ball runs and pick-and-rolls off the ball, which allowed them to get some outside shots and hit some open three-pointers.
But in contrast, the Rockets' three-point shooting is more aggressive, and their shooting is more consistent under confrontation.
After switching to Novak and hitting two three-pointers, the Warriors were forced to use a 2-3 defense.
But in this way, Yao Ming is almost unstoppable on the inside.
It's a hook and a back hit, and from time to time he shows off a Shanghai dance move, and Biedrins wants to cry a little.
By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had a 14-point lead over the Warriors at 30-16.
Tang Tian took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket at this time, put it in his mouth and chewed it leisurely.
The Warriors' characteristic is to play fast and three-pointers, and the Rockets' strategy is to play three-pointers with you, but not fast.
That's the difference between him and Nelson Sr., and Cole, and D'Antoni.
He is not simply superstitious about three-point shots, nor is he blindly bombarding, but using Yao Ming's inner containment to play three-point shots.
And once the three-point position is opened like the opening game, forcing you to expand the defense, then it is time for Yao Ming on the inside to show his dominance.
In this league, even if it is O'Neill now, there is not much to do to defend Yao Ming one-on-one.
The game was fought, and the battle of points turned into a one-sided slaughter.
The Warriors couldn't open up their offensive three-point shots, and their defense couldn't get started.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had a 20-point lead over the Warriors 101-81, and the game ended early.
In the end, after some suffocation by the bench in the final quarter, the Rockets finally won 123-108 against the Warriors.
123 points, also set a new season high for the Rockets, but compared to scoring, the Rockets' three-point shots in this game are more eye-catching.
They took 34 shots in the whole game! I hit 20 of them! He scored 60 points on three-pointers alone, which is nearly half of the total score!
Such a number of shots and hits completely refreshed the fans' three views.
Many people have seen it for the first time, and it turns out that the game can still be played like this, and this is still a team with Yao Ming, the first center in the NBA, it's amazing!
After the game against the Warriors, Thibodeau found Tang Tian again.
However, unlike the worried appearance before, he looked excited at this time.
"I admit that you are right, such a rocket team, it really looks unstoppable." Xibodu said from the bottom of his heart, Tang Tian's performance once again conquered him.
What he didn't say was that he made adjustments during the winning streak, and Tang Tian's courage really made him admire.
"No, there's a lot more we have to do." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
Thibodeau was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
Winning is not arrogant or impatient, Tang Tian is indeed really handsome.
Thibodeau thought so, but what Tang Tian said was not modest and polite.
Winning against a sparsely defensively Warriors was only a good start.
If they want to go far in the playoffs, they will have to keep improving.
But a good start did add a lot of confidence to the Rockets.
After winning the Warriors, the Rockets' record has come to 18-6, ranking third in the league, and becoming a veritable powerhouse.
After the game against the Warriors, the time has come on December 20, and Tang Tian will also usher in his first Christmas in the United States.
But just before Christmas, there was an earth-shattering deal in the league.
The Nuggets made a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sending away the main point guard Andre Miller, forward Joe Smith and two '07 first-round picks from the 76ers in exchange for superstar Allen Iverson and forward Ewan McFarlin, forming a "two-gun combination" that shocked the league.
In the memory of my previous life, the Nuggets' two guns did not succeed in the end, but when I was really in the league, I realized how much more shock this was than the trade.
Anthony has been in the league for four years and his skills have fully matured, and he is a top three small forward in the league, while Iverson is no longer at his peak, but he is still a top five defender in the league.
TNT and ESPN have made a big report on the trade, and fans have described it as a combination of Jordan and Kobe, and countless people are looking forward to it.
In the NBA's official team strength, the Nuggets also jumped from 12th in the league to fifth in the league, ranking behind the Rockets.
