Kobe Bryant reacted half a beat slower, so he directly reached out to block Harden's sight, but there are not many people at this distance except Curry who have that accurate head, Harden's three-point shooting is completely unbounded, but the rebound fell into the hands of Howard, Howard made an easy basket under the basket, and finally the Rockets still made this attack.

With 28.9 seconds left, the Lakers could only do their best to press time for the final offense. Hoggist showed off his dribbling talent in the front court, constantly turning in place to dribble with one hand under his crotch, hitting the ball through the ground under his crotch, quickly turning around and catching it with the same hand, and then turning around, which was dizzying. Ariza tried to come up twice to break the ball, but was grazed by Haugist like a drunken fist, and he didn't even touch the skin, but caused the fans to laugh.

Rational as Ariza couldn't help but be furious, hugged Hougist and took the initiative to foul, stopping his show operation. The Rockets didn't foul enough to make free throws, but they had to kick back the offense to 14 seconds after serving the ball from the sideline. With 11.5 seconds left in the first half, it was all in the hands of the Lakers. The Rockets' previous rush was pointless.

The Lakers continued to serve the ball on the sideline, and the Rockets replaced Harrell for Terrence. Jones. Harrell whispered as he staggered past Jones: "Terrence, don't say I didn't warn you, if you switch to Hougist, don't be too impulsive, it's better to wait for him to move you before moving, don't trust your own prediction!" It doesn't matter if you can't prevent it, at least don't make a fool of yourself! ”

Jones scoffed at Harrell's reminder, "Idiot, he only shot 4-of-7 in the first half, what's so good?" Can you give me a dozen of this kind of opponent? If you can match this kind of rookie in every game, the number one name on the MVP list is me now! Just watch it from the bench! Watch me put his shot in the stands! ”

Harrell didn't say anything and silently returned to the bench and covered his eyes with a towel, after all, brain-dead is no medicine, as a teammate, he has done his best, and now all he can do is close his eyes and not look at his tragic end!

After receiving the ball, Hoggist continued to dribble at the top of the arc, and with 8 seconds left, Randle came up to cover Hougist, who moved to the wing with the cover and dribbled Jones. Jones was full of confidence, feeling the power in his calf exploding, and he could jump high and send the bloody hat at any moment.

Hoggist lowered his center of gravity to break through, Jones also lowered his center of gravity, Hougist suddenly dribbled hard in front of his body after completing a crotch change dribble, the ball quickly bounced, and Hougist directly lifted his center of gravity to collect the ball with both hands and prepared to shoot.

Jones's center of gravity also lifted, but before his foot left the ground, he found that Hoggist was only dribbling with his left hand, and his right hand was not withdrawn, and he quickly judged that Horgist was a Buddha worship move, and he would definitely break through next! When Jones forced his upward momentum, the first step of Haugist's breakthrough had already been taken, and the dribble was handed to the right hand sideways to grab Jones's side, already half a body ahead.

Jones hurriedly slid back, but Hougist made a big forward change of direction, hit the ball under Jones's crotch with his right hand, and took a big step to the left to catch the ball with his left hand, letting Jones behind him, Jones used his sucking strength to brake again and turned sideways to block the route of Haugist's breakthrough, but Haugist dribbled the ball from his crotch with his left hand, retreated outside the three-point line after a jump, and caught the ball from behind with his right hand and pulled it back to the front.

Jones still wanted to pounce outside the three-point line, but his body moved his legs but was still in the inertia of turning and moving sideways, and the direction of movement of his upper body and legs was diametrically opposite. Hoggist also deliberately glanced down at his toes to make sure he didn't step on the line before calmly throwing the ball. The red light on the rebound and the beep of the timer kick in at the same time as the ball crosses the basket, seemingly cheering on Hoggist.

The stadium erupted in even louder cheers, and that's what they wanted to see, with the team's future leaders being so strong that they could easily score the ball after playing on the pitch. Hoogist made a gentlemanly gesture to the audience, as if to close the curtain on the wonderful performance just now.

"You seem to be very proud! I think you're inflated! Bryant laughed.

"Swelling? What is this saying, I just want to make sure that I have the most room to shoot, and the audience likes to watch me dribble, the fans are the food and clothing parents of our players, and they like to watch me, so of course they should give them more performances! Besides, this ball was caused by Jones who couldn't stand on his feet and fell, how could he throw the pot at me? "Although Hoggist has a strong sense of responsibility, he doesn't take all the pots.

"Tsk, your performance like this has simply forced all the rookies in my lake to a dead end! No matter how hard they try, the fans will say, 'What the hell is this rookie playing, I can't bear to look at it!' I think we watched Hoggist play back then, and that was pleasing to the eye and hearty! What a painful blow these words are for a rookie! Bryant sighed between his teeth.

Hoggist laughed when he heard this, "Before I retire, the Lakers will not be able to get a high draft pick, unless I go to the weak team to make a trade robbery, those low-pick rookies are a surprise if they play well, and it is normal to play badly, no one will use the standard of the champion to criticize them!" ”

Kobe Bryant pursed his lips with a mocking expression, "You are really 'confident' enough, I didn't dare to brag like this in the years I was at my peak!" ”

"Oh? Is that so? I don't know who said the sentence 'Don't want to win the championship with me in LeBron'! Hoggist retorted, seizing on the loophole in Bryant's words.

"I'm not wrong, I was really not there in the years when LeBron won the championship! If I played LeBron in the finals, how could I lose to him! Bryant quibbled.

Hoggist looked at Kobe Bryant with a reverent gaze, "Boss, as you get older and older over the years, your physical skills and physical strength have begun to decline, but your verbal skills are getting better and better, I think you can join the TNT group directly after you retire!" ”

"I'm not going to be a commentator, I'm going to be in the business world, I'm going to sit behind a big desk and enjoy red wine and cigars, watch my company thrive, stock investment is booming, this is my retirement!" Kobe said proudly.

"Awesome!" Haugist even applauded.

"I have won awards, my current company has invested in a lot of projects, seriously, if you don't know how to manage money, how to let you retire so that you don't sit empty, you can come to me, I will help you find two investment projects!" Bryant patted Hoggist on the shoulder and smiled.

"Uh...... I mean, you're already paranoid, and you'd better see a doctor! Hougist teased.

Kobe Bryant's hand on Hoggist's shoulder changed to a pinch when he heard this, and pinched the back of Hougist's neck and kicked him on the buttocks, "You stinky boy, you dare to make fun of me!" ”

On the other side of the field, the Rockets' teammates pulled up Jones, and Harrell also came up and put a big towel on Jones's head, "Come on, cover your face, it's too embarrassing!" I've reminded you, why don't you listen, he's also the top pick in the draft, you're an 18-pick player, how big is the gap between you, don't you have a little bit of a score in your own heart? ”

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, Mark. Gasol's 48th pick in the second round, how is it now? Drummond. Green's second-round pick with the 35th pick, what about now? I'm also in the first round, how big will the gap be with him? If I was given more opportunities, I could become a superstar! Jones said unconvinced.

"Your 18th pick in the first round is your true level and your ceiling, but the 15-year draft pick is the lower limit of Hoggist, because if you put all the top picks together since the draft, there is no doubt that Hoggist is still the top pick!" Harrell was dismissive of Jones's self-confidence, but admired Hougist!

Jones was even more upset, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Could it be that Hougist is better than Jordan? ”

Harrell gave Jones a blank look, "Are you stupid?" Jordan wasn't the top pick in the draft. ”

"yes, I forgot about it, but isn't LeBron better than Haugist?" Jones was desperately looking for someone who could overpower Haugist.

"I don't even mention the high-level data such as true shooting rate, usage rate and win-loss contribution value, just talk about the basic data LeBron rookie season 20 + 5 + 5, Horgist has played 30 + 15 + 8 now, and is currently the league's scoring champion + assist king + steal king, breaking countless historical records, who do you think a manager will choose?" Harrell asked rhetorically, "The more you belittle your opponent, the more you will appear to be inferior after losing to him!" Think for yourself, which is more humiliating to be shaken down by a high school student who can't play or to be shaken down by Jordan? ”

"Is it true that I underestimated the enemy?" Jones himself muttered.

"Do you still need it? You must have underestimated the enemy! Please, you'd better have an accurate positioning for yourself and don't live in your own imagination! Harrell pushed Jones back to the locker room.

After halftime when the two sides returned to the court, the Lakers still sent a starting lineup, and the Rockets made a slight adjustment, replacing Capela with company commander Brewer to play one big and four small. The Lakers kicked off, and Hougist thought that Ariza would defend against Yi Jianlian and Brewer would defend himself, but he didn't expect Harden to actually hold up Yi Jianlian on the inside, and it was Kobe Bryant who Brewer let go. According to common sense, Haugist should have handed the ball to Yi Jianlian for a misplaced single, but Hoggist didn't follow the usual path, directly forced Ariza, caught him off guard, and threw a two-point shot to take the lead.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, cooperated with Howard to block and cross, Howard was domineering, dribbled vigorously with both hands, kicked the ground with both legs, and pulled out the mountain with both legs, and dunked Turner heavily.

Reed dribbled to the front court, gave the ball to the wing Hougist, Hougist held the ball with his back outside the three-point line, turned his head to observe the situation on the court, Ariza stuck to Hoggist and tried to poke the ball off, Hougist suddenly dribbled with his right hand and took a step back in the direction of the top of the right arc, Ariza followed a step, but Ariza's sliding step just finished a leg, Hougist changed direction sharply to dribble the ball to the left hand, and rushed into the inside line from the left side along the baseline direction before Ariza.

Howard let go of Turner to make up for the defense, Howard received the ball from the side of the monster and jumped out to the other side of the basket, Howard thought that Howard was going to share the ball to Turner who was empty by him, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but unexpectedly, Hougist was like a long eye in the back of his head, and after flying over the basket, he threw the ball back with his right hand at will and threw it directly into the basket.

Hoggist landed and ran from the right side of the basket to the backcourt, while Ariza was quick to run from the left side of the basket to the frontcourt. Howard drove the ball and Harden immediately passed the ball to Ariza, Hoggist hurriedly moved sideways to defend, Ariza had a good open three-point opportunity, but he wanted to rush in and make a layup for stability, just such a second of hesitation let the fighter miss out, Hoggist quickly came to him, blocking all his shot angles and breakthrough routes.

Ariza passed the ball back to Harden at the top of the arc, and Harden continued to play with Howard to block and dismantle, but this time the ground-hitting pass was destroyed by Kobe, and the floor ball rolled to Hoggist's feet, and Hougist turned around and separated Ariza with his butt, bent down to pick up the ball. Dribbling to the front court, Hoggist passed to Kobe Bryant at the top of the arc, Kobe raised the ball and wanted to make a strong shot, Yi Jianlian hurriedly rushed to the basket to grab a rebound.

But Kobe Bryant saw that Yi Jianlian had arrived at the basket, and it was Harden who was defending him, so he hesitated and threw the ball to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian received the ball and played high, ignoring Harden and going straight to the basket, and was sabotaged by Harden's arm. The referee blew for a foul, Yi Jianlian got two free throws, Kobe Bryant came up and high-fived him, "You should arch him and dunk him directly!" ”

Yi Jianlian frowned and said: "When I was in the first two rounds, I found that I couldn't stand up to him at all, Harden was like a shorter Dream Chaser!" ”

"You're not kidding, are you? Your muscles won't be able to hold him up? Kobe Bryant was startled, thought for a moment and said suspiciously: "That's not right! In the first half, I was in a position with him, and I didn't think he was strong! ”

"He has good core strength, and his center of gravity is low! Didn't Archimedes say, give me a fulcrum, and I can lift the earth. The lower the defender's center of gravity, the more stable it is, and the more likely a tall man like my brother Yi is to be pried into his back and his center of gravity is unstable. Hoggist came up and explained, "So I didn't pass the ball to him just now to make him play Harden in a misplaced position, but the position under the basket only needs to receive the ball and shoot, no matter how physical Harden's height is, it will not affect Brother Yi's shot, except for fouls." ”

"I see, you're good at physics, and you can apply what you've learned! It's not the same if you've gone to college! Bryant nodded, as if he had benefited a lot.

Hougist waved his hand, "Boss, don't laugh at me, I went to college for a year, and I still studied early childhood education, which has nothing to do with physics at all!" I just know a little bit about it...... I know a little bit about ......."
