Hougist continued to slowly dribble to the front court and give Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc, but he didn't expect Yi Jianlian to be a little coquettish, obviously looking at Jeremy Lin on the left, but passing the ball back to Hoggist from the back of his head. Hoggist really didn't expect Yi Jianlian to play like this, and almost missed the ball.

In a hurry, Haugist was almost stealed by Ariza, but Haugist actually threw the ball directly to the basket, trying to make Ariza's shooting foul, but the referee ignored it, Capela received the rebound and passed to Harden, Harden dribbled more leisurely to the front court than Haugist, as if he had won the game.

Coming to the frontcourt, Harden used his sense of rhythm to break into the interior three steps slowly, and started to make a layup, but when he flew to the basket, he gave the ball to Beverley in the bottom corner, and Beverley shot three points again in the same position, and also hit! At 111:96, the margin narrowed to 15 points.

Hoggist drove the ball to Reed and motioned for him to press the time, and Reed said he was not very good at pressing, and returned the ball to Hougist on the halfway line. Hougist had to give the ball to Jeremy Lin, who was more good at pressing time, and when Jeremy Lin pressed to 10 seconds, he gave the ball to Haugist, who was back to the elbow area, and Hougist had his back on his back, and directly used the same back-of-head pass to distribute the ball to Yi Jianlian under the basket, Yi Jianlian caught the ball and shook off Capela with solid footsteps, and made an easy layup, but was blocked by the Warcraft hat that made up for the defense.

Beverley received rebounds from the perimeter, dribbled quickly, shook off the chasing reeds with a Euro step and fake pass in the paint area, and scored two more points on a layup to make it 111-98, leaving only 13 points left. When Hougist came back to serve, he comforted his teammates: "Don't worry, let's continue to press the time, there are 4 minutes left in the game, we try to run out of 24 seconds for each attack, even if the opponent can complete an attack in 6 seconds, it will take 30 times in one round, and a maximum of 8 rounds in 4 minutes." Even if they shoot 50 per cent, they can only score four goals, and even if all four of them score three points, we can still win by one point! ”

"You Chinese arithmetic is great! But with 8 attacks, how can you guarantee that they will only score 4? If you score one more, won't you overtake the score? Reed questioned.

"Do you just look down on ourselves like that? They can score five goals in eight attacks, can't we score one goal in eight attacks? Hougist reluctantly asked, "I'm just assuming the worst-case scenario, although life won't always be easy, but it won't always be so bad!" ”

Jeremy Lin dribbled to the frontcourt, Hougist made a cover for him, leaving Harden by his side, Jeremy Lin returned the ball to Hougist, Hoggist began to hit Harden in the high post, advanced to the paint area, Hoggist turned directly and forced a shot above Harden's head, Harden's height, this arm span, can only look at and sigh in front of Hougist.

Hoggist hit this mid-range shot domineeringly, and winked confidently at the reeds, there is himself who will not be reversed, at least not today!

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, borrowed Howard to cover the strong inside, threw the ball and caught Howard in the air, Randle was powerless in the face of Howard who took off, and could only watch Howard violently abuse the basket.

Yi Jianlian drove the ball to Hoggist, Hoggist rushed forward quickly, as if he was in a hurry to chase the score, the Rockets hurriedly chased after Hoggist, saw Hoggist raise the ball at the top of the arc three-point line and jumped, Ariza and Capela jumped up together to block, but unexpectedly Hoggist gave the ball to Jeremy Lin, who followed up on the wing, Jeremy Lin raised the ball and made a jumper, which attracted Beverley and Harden's double block.

Unexpectedly, Jeremy Lin also faked the real pass, Hoggist blocked Capela and Ariza with his body in the high post, Howard chased Randle's air cut from the other side to the basket, Yi Jianlian slowly ran to the front court after serving, and was let go when he came to the top of the arc, Jeremy Lin returned the ball to the top of the arc, and Yi Jianlian easily hit a three-pointer.

This three-point shot directly stopped the Rockets, and they were about to chase the difference back to within 10 points, but unexpectedly, the Lakers regained their scoring touch. Bickerstaff rearranged his defensive strategy, and after a timeout, Harden quickly forced Jeremy Lin to score two points.

Hoggist is very righteous, Harden scored one on Jeremy Lin's head, and in turn, Hoggist passed the ball for Jeremy Lin and blocked Harden for him by the way, so that Jeremy Lin calmly shot and shot, Jeremy Lin was also very good, and hit this mid-range shot in return, helping Hoggist's assist account add another fortune.

Harden seems to have been forced by the coach to turn on his personal offensive mode, turned back and attacked with the ball on his own again, forced Jeremy Lin to cause a foul, but fortunately missed the layup and failed to play 2+1, but the two free throws were easily hit, and continued to maintain a faint hope of chasing points for the Rockets.

Of course, Jeremy Lin was also transferred to offensive mode by Hougist, and the two repeated their old tricks and passed the ball hand-to-hand again, Hougist also successfully blocked Harden, and Jeremy Lin still lived up to Hoggist's trust and sent the ball into the basket.

No one thought that at the end of the game, it would be Jeremy Lin and Harden who were fighting against each other.

Harden came to the frontcourt, faced Jeremy Lin's defense and hit the basket with a step-back three-point shot, and Jeremy Lin did not show weakness and returned a three-point shot back to the frontcourt, but Jeremy Lin's continuous scoring ability was still a little worse than Harden's, and the three-point response failed to hit the basket, but fortunately, Hougist accurately predicted and accepted the frontcourt rebound.

Hougist dribbled and retreated outside the three-point line, and gave the ball to Jeremy Lin to let him re-attack, Jeremy Lin was very sincere, in order not to delay Hoggist's assist, he received the ball and shot three points again, this time with good luck, although the ball still bounced up in the basket, but it fell back to the center of the basket

At 119:105, with 1 minute and 49 seconds left in the game, there was theoretically no hope for the Rockets. And Harden's fourth consecutive individual offense ended in a tie, which also announced the Rockets' hope of chasing points. However, Hoggist did not give up, took off the rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt, and hit another three-pointer on a pull-up jumper, burying the Rockets with his own hands.

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game, Bickerstaff applied for a timeout for the second time in a short period of time, replaced all the main players, and conceded defeat, and the Lakers also replaced the main lineup, the Lakers lacked Hoggist and Kobe Bryant in the previous game against the Rockets, and lost to Houst, and today under the leadership of Hougist and Kobe, the Lakers also gave the Rockets a bloody abuse.

The score was finally fixed at 125:107, and Hoggist once again stably and efficiently output a quasi-triple-double of 42+11+9, the funny thing is that the Lakers have been emphasizing before the game to be careful of Harden's fouls, and as a result, after playing a look at the technical statistics, Hoggist made more free throws than Harden.

"Okay, you kid, I think the new Wanci King has been born!" After the game, Kobe Bryant "praised".

"You're laughing at me nakedly! I don't dare to take that title seriously, I've only made 106 free throws this season today, and Harden has made more than twice as many free throws as I did! How can I dare to be the king of ten thousand porcelains? Hougist smiled modestly.

"You're recovering well, we're going to Oklahoma the day after tomorrow, keep up the good work! After defeating Durant, you'll be left with LeBron alone! Bryant patted Haugist on the shoulder.

Haugist shook his head, "In my opinion, Durant is more difficult to defend than LeBron now, there is an old saying in China, 'one inch is long and one inch is strong, one inch short is one inch dangerous', although Durant's height and arm span are similar to mine in the official data, but in fact, his height and arm span are much longer than mine, my projection ability will be limited by him to death, and his shooting I can't do anything." ”

Kobe Bryant looked at Hoggist with a surprised look, "That's not what you said before!" Didn't you say that whoever is faster than you is not as tall as you, you can shoot at his head, and if you are taller than you and not as fast as you, you can be angry with him? According to your reasoning, you can focus on breakthroughs! ”

"But Durant is taller and faster than me!" Hoggist said with a sad face.

"Are you so sure that you haven't beaten you yet?" Kobe Bryant smiled mysteriously after a moment's thought, "Don't worry, there is a master who guards against Durant in the game the day after tomorrow, which is likely to bring us unexpected surprises!" ”

Hougist recalled these teammates in the team, only Yi Jianlian and Turner were taller than him, although Yi Jianlian's movement speed and agility were faster than Turner, but they were far from Durant, and other teammates who were as tall as him were not as fast and flexible as himself, and he was not sure to prevent Durant, and the others were even more useless, as for those who were shorter than themselves, don't expect them to be able to prevent Durant.

"Could Joel be able to make a comeback next? It can't be that Kobe Bryant knows before me! And JOJO can't deal with Durant, right? Haugist muttered to himself.

Kobe Bryant heard Hoggist's muttering and knew that he had flickered to Hoggist, so he laughed and waved his hand away, "Don't guess, you'll know when you play the day after tomorrow!" ”

Hogist returned home and turned on the computer, logged in to the Tiger Pounce forum, and deliberately entered the Thunder area that he had not entered before, wanting to study the tactical characteristics of the Thunder, don't look at the Tiger Pounce There are a lot of keyboard warriors on paper, but there are many masters with insightful and sharp views, how to extract the essence from the complicated and redundant massive information, and it is also a kind of ability to remove the false and retain the truth.

But tonight, before finding a useful tactical post, Hogist found a lot of posts from fans who don't know whether it was the real Thunder or cross-district guidance, the content was all discussing the relationship between the three young Thunder, it seems that everyone generally thinks that Durant has the best ball skills, but he is not the Thunder team with the most balls, and even the most shots, many netizens jokingly call Durant Du Fifteen, which means that he is the first to the bottom of the ball in the Thunder. There are also many people who say that Westbrook has seriously hindered Durant's play.

The best example of this problem is a GIF, which is a clip of a high school basketball movie, and netizens use "seamless" PS technology to P's heads of Durant and Westbrook to the necks of the two protagonists in the movie clip. In the clip, the game time is about to run out, and Durant is about to shoot outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, but the ball is grabbed and thrown by Westbrook, and the ball smashes directly on the rebound on the side of the basket, and the scene looks very embarrassing.

Hoggist suddenly reacted, and the person who Kobe Bryant pointed out to have a miraculous effect on Durant is likely to be Westbrook! I didn't expect Kobe Bryant to know how to play! Hogist smiled dumbly, but the ring-shaped mints in his mouth accidentally fell. Hougist hurriedly picked up the candy and put it back in his mouth.

"But you can't point to their own internal strife! I still have to figure out how to deal with Durant! "Hoggist didn't sleep all night, sitting in front of the computer and thinking about how to break the enemy.

On the special plane to Oklahoma on the 19th, Shashefsky asked about Haugist's tactical advice as usual, and after a day and two nights of careful consideration, Haugist boldly put forward an idea, "We, more precisely, it is up to me to guard Durant, I try to make him uncomfortable whether he catches the ball or breaks through or shoots, please do your own defensive work, pay attention to the inside line, don't let Westbrook break through easily, but you can let Westbrook shoot, and even encourage Westbrook to shoot more!" ”

Kobe Bryant nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you already know who the best person to defend Durant is!" ”

Hoggist also nodded, and asked rhetorically: "I know that the way to do this is through the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but how do you know?" ”

"I'm a businessman, so of course I have my own sources!" Bryant smiled mysteriously again.

"Hougist coincides with the tactical thinking of our coaching staff, we will play according to this idea tonight, Westbrook's three-point shooting rate has been less than 30% in these two seasons, but he loves to shoot, so we have to let him shoot three points to his heart's content, the number of rounds per game is limited, the more he shoots, the fewer opportunities Durant will have, the fewer points the Thunder will score, and our probability of winning will be greater and greater!" Shashewski made his concluding remarks.

"Is it so amazing? Westbrook is a superstar on the same level as Durant! Are you sure it's okay to let him go? Randall Jiang Xinjiang asked suspiciously.

"Westbrook is very physical, and he has a strong finishing ability under the basket, but his offensive options are very problematic, and not being able to make the most reasonable choices on the court is his biggest shortcoming, so we have to lure him into making bad choices and let him continue to hurt the Thunder on the offensive end, so that we are equivalent to 6 to 4 on the court, and there is a reason why we can't win?" Hougist proudly analyzes the pros and cons for Randall.

"Wouldn't that be a bit of a victory?" Randall asked tentatively.

"No kidding, are you using cover to create open shots for pitchers? Is it not a victory to grab one between two opponents? Hougist's rhetorical question left Randall speechless.
