Chapter 348: You Iron Yours, I'll Grant Me

Yi Jianlian stood on the free throw line and easily hit both free throws. The Rockets attacked the frontcourt, Harden passed the ball to company commander Brewer, Brewer from the junction of the defensive range of the wing Hougist and the Reeds into the interior, forced a layup and caused a foul on Turner, who had committed five fouls and had to be replaced by Randle, and it was estimated that he would not get another chance to play until the end of the fourth quarter. Turner returned to the bench in frustration and absentmindedly high-fived his teammates before burying his face deep in the towel.

Brewer also hit both free throws from the free-throw line. Reed dribbled to the front court and gave it to Randle in the elbow area, Kobe Bryant received the ball from Randle's hand, rushed into the interior with cover, and completed a wonderful pull-up layup, but the referee blew the goal invalid. It turned out that Beverley, who was chasing Kobe, was blocked by Randle, and the brakes were too late to knock over Randle, and the referee blew a foul.

The Lakers restarted the game, Randle received the ball at the top of the arc, Hougist came up to fake cover, and then cut to the inside, Ariza was out of position again, and had to pull Haugist, the referee blew the foul again, and the Lakers continued to send the sideline ball. This time, Horgist drove the ball to Randle at the top of the arc and then went directly from the bounds along the sideline to the bottom line, and from outside the baseline to the basket, Randle saw it really, and went straight to the basket, Horgist quickly returned to the court, and then received the ball directly to the rebound, and even left no foul time for Ariza, and easily scored two points again.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, continued to block and dismantle, broke through to the inside line by covering, and rubbed the foul by the way, Kobe Bryant looked at the distance and directly reached out to cut the ball and stabbed the ball out of the bottom line. The Rockets opened the baseline ball, the Rockets three stood in a row on the left side of the basket, while Harden stood in the paint area, and after the referee signaled that the ball could be teed, the number suddenly went around the wing from the elbow area, and the other three teammates discharged the wall to block all the Lakers players inside.

Harden ran out of an open opportunity in the bottom corner of the left side, Hougist hurriedly let go of the baseline and returned to the court to save Harden, Harden was afraid of Haugist's long arm interception, did not dare to shoot three points, and wanted to pass the ball back to the top of the arc, but unexpectedly, Hougist's long arm could even pass the ball and directly completed the steal.

Hougist dribbled the ball and went to the middle to push the counterattack, Randle and Reed followed up left and right, Hougist ran to the top of the arc, feeling that he had attracted most of the defensive attention, so he looked at the reed on the left, and gave the ball to Randle on the right with a flick of his wrist, and Randle received the ball and flew directly to dunk.

Company Commander Brewer jumped up from the side with self-sacrificing courage, and although he couldn't touch the ball, he also knocked Randle off the course of travel, and Randle forced the ball to the basket with no hope of dunking, and the ball got stuck in the neck of the basket. Fortunately, Brewer fouled first, otherwise Randle's foul would have given up the ball.

Randle hit both free throws to give the Lakers an 11-point lead at 72-61, and the margin returned to double digits. Harden dribbled to the front court and passed to Ariza, but Haugist suddenly rushed up and wanted to reach out for a steal, Ariza was caught off guard and failed to catch the ball, touched the ball back to the halfway line, and was whistled by the referee for a return violation.

The Lakers drove the ball to the sideline, Randle held the ball at the top of the arc and wanted to distribute it to the empty cut of the reed, but the pass was interfered with and flew to the bottom corner, and Horgist grabbed the ball before Ariza in the bottom corner, but fell into the bag between Black Bey and Ariza. However, Habe's bag was used as a breakthrough by Haugist, who threw the ball directly over Hebe's head to the opposite wing. Kobe failed to catch the ball, the ball bounced to the sideline, Brewer pounced and tried to break the ball, but Kobe Bryant reached the ball first, turned on the spot and let Harden directly shoot an empty three-pointer, but this excellent opportunity was missed by Kobe.

The Rockets escaped, Harden dribbled in the frontcourt, Brewer borrowed Ariza's off-ball cover to move from the wing to the top of the arc, everyone thought Brewer was going to catch the ball, but Ariza covered and pulled the ball to the bottom corner, and the ball shook to Howard under the basket. Howard carried Yi Jianlian and was about to dunk with both hands, but Hoggist quickly shrank to the basket and poked the ball out of the back of Howard's head.

Yi Jianlian accepted the rebound and stuffed it to Hogist, Hougist gave the ball to the reed in the front court, and in the face of Heibei's defense, Reed held the ball with a hesitant face, not knowing whether he should burst or shoot, Beverley saw that his defense shocked Reed, and his heart was complacent, but Reed threw the ball directly to the basket.

Beverley hurriedly looked back, Hoggist had already arrived in the frontcourt, shook off the defense from the side and cut into the inside, Reed's pass was a little early, Hoggist smashed on the rebound before he arrived, but with Hoggist's physical fitness, this is all trivial, he turned his back to the basket in the air, and his hands reached the rebounding ball and dunked the ball back into the basket.

The audience is boiling, every time at home, you can see Hoggist's wonderful performance beyond everyone's imagination, fancy dribbling, tough three-pointers, dunks against the sky, Hoggist is a part-time all-rounder, he is definitely a player who can be out of the limelight in all All-Star games!

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, seemed to be ready to attack a ball by himself, a change of direction rushed into the interior, was blocked by Yi Jianlian, Kobe Bryant rushed from behind to wrap up, Harden passed the ball to Howard in the elbow area, and then retreated to the wing to receive the ball, but Yi Jianlian ignored Howard and continued to wrap Harden with Kobe, the two and the sideline formed an equilateral triangle, trapping Harden in the middle, Howard was released under the basket and jumped straight to his feet, but the ball just couldn't pass. Seeing that he was about to be tackled, Harden bent down to hold the ball tightly in his arms and called a timeout.

The Rockets replaced Howard with Capela, who is better at blocking and shooting, and replaced Company Commander Brewer with Lawson. Harden decided to get up from where he fell, caught the ball in the corner where he was forced to stop just now and launched an attack, and hoisted the ball to Capela, who went down after fake cover for himself, Capela received the ball and hit Yi Jianlian, made a very awkward lever and threw the ball to the basket, and the ball was bounced on the basket a few times and luckily fell into the basket.

Reed dribbled to the front court, distributed the ball to the free throw line Randle, Randle held the ball with his back, Harden resisted his hand and continued to harass, Kobe ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball and rushed to the free throw line and returned the ball to Randle who retreated to the top of the arc, Reed went around from the left side to the right wing, Randle divided the ball. Haugist cut inside from the weak side and reached for the ball, and the reed's direct pass to the basket was cut off by Capela.

The Rockets counterattacked, Capela gave Harden, Harden passed straight to Lawson on the front wing from the backcourt, Lawson received the ball and saw that no one was defending and shot three points directly, the ball bounced out of the basket, at this time Capela had already rushed to the Lakers basket, picked up the rebound and gave the ball to Beverley outside the three-point line on the other side, Beverley returned the ball to Harden at the top of the arc, and then the Rockets' offense came to a standstill.

Harden held the ball three threats for a long time, and finally decided to break through by himself, when Harden swept into the paint area to Capela standing in the low post and no one noticed, he ran the ball to the sky, Capela understood, hurriedly jumped up in two steps, and received the ball with both hands to complete a powerful air catch.

Yi Jianlian blacked the ball to Hogist, who received the ball and turned around and quietly made a one-handed downward gesture to Yi Jianlian before advancing to the front court, signaling him to slow down through the halfcourt, and then dribbling to the front court, facing Ariza's defense, Hoggist broke through from the front to the free throw line.

This time Ariza retreated very quickly and was not cut by Haugist, so Hoggist began to push his back from the free throw line, and after two steps, Hoggist suddenly turned around and broke through the frame again, Capela on the side came up to help defend, but Hoggist suddenly jumped up and threw the ball from his crotch to his back.

Yi Jianlian happened to run to the top of the arc at this time, and received the ball thrown by Hougist from his crotch, Yi Jianlian probably understood Hoggist's intention just now, so he jumped up and shot a three-point shot without making adjustments. Yi Jianlian's shooting arc is very high, more like Nowitzki, the ball passes through the net from the air at a near-vertical angle, like a stone sinking into the sea without a ripple in the net.

Harden threw the ball to Capela a little unhappily, and seemed to have a little blame, after all, Yi Jianlian was Capela's defensive object, Capela didn't say anything about it, and drove the ball to Harden from outside the baseline, Harden came to the frontcourt, and Capela wanted to pass to Capela after blocking and dismantling, but Kobe Bryant defended very hard at the top of the arc and had no chance to pass the ball in, just as Lawson ran from the basket to the top of the arc, and Harden crossed the ball.

Lawson relied on his short stature, lowered his head into the inside, hit the ground and distributed the ball to Capela under the basket, Capela had just been blamed by Harden, as the so-called shame and courage, he actually forced a hook under the bag of Randle and Yi Jianlian after receiving the ball, and luckily threw the ball into the basket.

Randall and Yi Jianlian glanced at each other, and invariably spread their hands to express their helplessness. After receiving the serve, Hoggist dribbled forward to the court, passed Ariza who was very close to the defense through the crotch, and faced Capela at the top of the arc, Hoggist suddenly collected the ball and spun in place, and when he turned back to the front, the ball was no longer in his hand.

This is a street ball trick that Marbury once used in NBA games, by turning around to attract the attention of defenders, and at the same time taking the opportunity to pass the ball out, others don't understand, but as Marbury's "old opponent", Yi Jianlian is very familiar, Haugist passed Ariza alone and restrained Capela, Yi Jianlian rushed to the paint area without encountering any obstacles, half-turned to catch the ball passed by Hoggist, but did not slow down at his feet, stepped on his waist and rose up, returned the rocket with a powerful heavy clasp of both hands.

Ariza knew that the ball had basically been lost the moment he saw Hoggist's pass, so he didn't think about it, and quickly went down to the frontcourt, Harden had a wide field of vision, and immediately passed to Ariza in the front court after receiving the serve, Hoggist desperately chased back, but still didn't catch up, and when Haugist jumped up from diagonally behind to interfere with Ariza, Ariza had fallen back to the floor.

However, there is also a metaphysical factor in the shooting percentage, after all, Kobe Bryant also missed an open three-point shot just now, didn't he? Ariza's open three-pointer also bounced off, and Randle took the rebound and passed it to the reeds, who had not yet run back from the frontcourt, but the reeds did not open up the situation on the flank, and passed the ball back to Randle, who ran to the top of the arc.

Kobe Bryant ran without the ball, went around to the wing where the reeds were just now to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he received Yi Jianlian's cover and wanted to break through the basket, but before he entered the three-point line, he was frantically encircled by Capela and Beverley, this situation is just like when he and Yi Jianlian wrapped Harden just now, but Harden couldn't pass the ball out from the top of Kobe and Yi Jianlian's head, but Kobe Bryant could easily pass the ball from Beverley's head into the interior.

After covering and sinking to the basket, Yi Jianlian received the ball in the paint area with his back to the basket, and wanted to turn around and dunk violently, but when he turned halfway around his body, he found that Ariza behind him was holding him deadly, and his waist could not fully exert force. However, there are always more ways than difficulties, Yi Jianlian threw the ball behind Ariza, and Hoggist didn't make any runs or adjustments when he received the ball, and directly pulled it up like Yi Jianlian just now and rode Ariza directly.

Ariza made up for Yi Jianlian in front of him, and he was originally facing Hoggist with his back to him, and Hoggist received the ball and he didn't dare to turn around for fear of fouling. Hougist's dunk was a little harder, and after dunking the ball, he rode directly onto Ariza's back.

Ariza's temper is really good enough, if someone else else has already thrown Haugist to the ground with a big back, Ariza actually took the initiative to reach out to protect Haugist, and protected him to fall to the ground smoothly. As the so-called repaying grievances with virtue, how can we repay virtue? Repaying grievances with directness and repaying virtue with virtue, Ariza's attitude made Hoggist unable to be ruthless, and he actually felt a little guilty in his heart, and patted Ariza on the back amicably and gratefully to apologize.

However, Ariza's friendly attitude does not mean that he is not angry in his heart, after all, it is a great shame to be dunked, but he wants to recover face from the court through basketball. Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, and the Lakers had already settled into a positional defensive formation. Harden distributed the ball at the top of the arc to Lawson on the right-hand wing, and Lawson quickly crossed to Ariza on the weak wing.

Ariza shook his way and deceived Haugist's center of gravity, and then he dribbled straight inside to break through. Enter the paint area to face the easy construction of the defense. Ariza doesn't have the physical fitness of Haugist, and can directly ignore the defender's flying dunk, but Ariza calmly imitated Yi Jianlian and distributed the ball to Capela behind Yi Jianlian.

Unexpectedly, Yi Jianlian was also ready for Ariza to divide the ball early, and quickly turned around and resisted Capella, who circled half a circle around the arc of the reasonable collision area, from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket before turning over and hooking his hand. Capela's shot wasn't so lucky, as the ball was noticeably short, smashing onto the outside edge of the basket and bouncing off, and Horgist quickly protected the rebound in the elbow area.
