After receiving the serve, Harden suddenly put away his laziness, accelerated the dribble to the front court, broke through directly to the basket without pausing, and hit a layup with a lever, which also caused a foul on Hougist.

There was even some surprise about his foul, Hougist. Hit geese every year, and this year let the geese peck their eyes. On weekdays, he also boasts that he has rich experience in cheating and fouling, why didn't Harden dodge it now?

Harden's performance at the free throw line was also solid, and the score came to 22:18 after hitting the free throw, Horgist dribbled to the front court to Randle to play, Randle distributed the ball to Reeds, and Reed made a mistake when he returned the ball to Horgist, and the ball was broken by drunk driver Brother Lawson.

After Lawson broke the ball, he shook off the reeds and scored two points on a layup like a drunk driver speeding, and this time Shashewski applied for a timeout. Shhashevsky stressed the need to avoid unforced mistakes as much as possible. Young replaced Kobe, Jeremy Lin replaced Reed, and Nance Jr. replaced Turner.

The Lakers kicked off, Jeremy Lin held the ball at the top of the arc, and Hougist moved from the wing to the bottom corner after serving. Young slipped the baseline to the weak side and cut to the weak side, and the weak side Randall was for Nick. Young set up an off-ball screen.

Nick. Young went around the cover in a big circle and came to the weak wing to catch the ball, and both Rockets defenders went to save on Nick from outside the three-point line. Young, while Randle was leaked in the low post. Nick. Young also played a clever pass and stuffed it straight to Randle, who moved to the basket, and Randle scored with an easy two-handed dunk.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt to transition to Lawson, then ran to the free throw line to give Ariza an off-ball screen, who ran to the bottom corner of the strong side and Harden moved to the wing on the weak side after the screen.

At the timeout, Šašewski rearranged his defensive strategy, Horgist went to defend Motai, who preferred to play on the outside, and Randle was put in the third position on the defensive end. Ariza dribbled back to Randle in the bottom corner, and under Randle's defense, he dribbled to the wing and couldn't get into the inside, giving it to Howard next to him, Howard raised the ball to look around the court, and still gave the ball back to Harden at the top of the arc. Harden again gave the ball to Ariza, who returned to the bottom corner. Ariza swooped into the three-point line, made a pull, turned around on the spot, and hit a step-back jumper.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, borrowed Randle from outside the three-point line to break into the restricted area, and distributed the ball to Nance Jr. in the low post, who wanted to give it to Nick on the weak wing. Young, but Randle accidentally stumbled into the midpoint of the connection between Nance Jr. and Nick Young when he was running, and Randle, who was on the free throw line, thought the ball was passed to him, so he caught the ball. Yang angrily jumped straight to the feet, but Hoggist took Randle as a cover, rubbed Randle from the paint area to the top of the arc, Randle threw the ball to Haugist, Hougist rushed to Ariza to bypass Randle's cover before the jump shot, the ball hollowed into the net.

The Lakers collectively retreated, and the scattered positions were more reasonable, but Harden wanted to get on the ball quickly, and directly from the paint area in the backcourt to the frontcourt to find Lawson, but Lawson was much shorter than Jeremy Lin, and Jeremy Lin easily intercepted the ball from mid-air and dialed it to Hougist. Hoggist transported two steps to find Nick. Young is running to the flank of the front court again, and he is still unmarked.

Thinking of Nick. Young's anxious look just now wanted to laugh, and in order to soothe his impatience, Hougist threw the ball over. After receiving the ball, Yang had a proud expression of "this is about the same", and raised his hand to make a three-point shot, which also hit the bullseye accurately, but the referee felt that Nick. Yang seemed to have reached the three-point line when he jumped, and he shook his finger to draw a circle to signal the technical desk to look back, and in the end, the ball only added 2 points to the Lakers.

Harden didn't dare to make a mistake, and finally dribbled the ball over half the court by himself, and after blocking and dismantling Motai in the high position, he dribbled to break through to the basket, and Hougist changed the defense of Harden and posted it closer, limiting Harden's shooting space, but unexpectedly, Harden actually raised the ball again and rubbed it on Hougist, even though Hougist was upright and raised his arms and did not press down, but he was still whistled for a foul.

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, Hougist had already eaten two fouls and had to go off the court to rest, and there was a tall pitcher like Motai on the opposing court, so the Lakers sent Yi Jianlian again. The Rockets, on the other hand, removed Warcraft and replaced it with Jones. Hoggist returned to the bench and sat down and hammered the floor hard, "Damn, I was actually going to be fouled twice in a row by Harden!" ”

"Okay, it's time for you to take a break with this mentality!" Kobe Bryant gave Hougist a sports drink.

"I'm also very good at making fouls, and to be reasonable, I should be the least likely person to suffer from Harden!" Hougist continued to complain angrily.

Kobe Bryant stood up and half-crouched in front of Hougist, and patted Haugist's cheek with both hands, "So you need to calm down now and think about how you got a foul by him, and then avoid falling into the same pit for the third time in the second quarter, and then use your experience to make Harden's foul in turn, which is the right way to solve it!" ”

Hogist drank the drink down, then squeezed the paper cup into a ball and squeezed it in the palm of his hand, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Harden, let's compete again in the second quarter!" ”

Harden continues to shoot 100 percent from the free-throw line. After completing the free throw, Lin took control, and Randle made a cover for Lin on the halfway line, and Lin used the cover to get rid of Lawson just after half court and plunge headlong into the paint.

The defenders in the paint area reached out to steal, Jeremy Lin stumbled to stabilize the ball, and gave it to the wing Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian quickly returned the ball to Jeremy Lin, who exited the three-point line, Jeremy Lin dribbled sideways and took a step to try to make Motai, who had changed defenses, jump shot, but unfortunately Motai's defensive area was too large, which still interfered with Jeremy Lin's vision.

Jeremy Lin missed three points, Harden picked up the rebound, dribbled two steps and started to wave again, and directly gave the ball to Lawson in the front court, Lawson opened his hand to shoot, but after thinking about it, he still gave the ball back to Harden who ran over the middle line, and thought that Harden passed the ball back to Lawson again, as if to encourage him to shoot, Lawson gratefully shot against Jeremy Lin and hit a shot angrily.

Motai almost took the rebound from Yi Jianlian's head, but Yi Jianlian finally gave the rebound to Nance Jr. Nance Jr. protected the ball, saw that no one was defending himself, so he dribbled to the frontcourt, Randle leaned on Harden in the low post to prepare a misplaced single, Nance Jr. passed the ball in, but Randle underestimated Harden's strength, and it was not easy to play with his back, Jeremy Lin tried to cut in the air, Randle also discovered Jeremy Lin's intentions, and he wanted to sneak up on the basket by a pass that didn't look at people's backs, but was intercepted by Motai who was guarding the basket.

Motai passed the ball to Harden, the Rockets collectively went down, Harden dribbled to the free throw line and threw Jones to catch the air, but after lifting the ball, he flipped his wrist and threw the ball to Ariza, who was unmarked in the bottom corner on the other side. However, it bounced out of the basket, and Motai followed up in the middle and wanted to fly to make up for the dunk, but Yi Jianlian under the basket took the lead and pushed the rebound diagonally upward.

The ball flew over Motel's head and landed in Randle's arms on the free throw line, Randle distributed the ball to Jeremy Lin on the wing, Shuhao dribbled along the side, and the rest followed up from the weak side, Jeremy Lin came to the front court and gave the ball directly to Nick in the bottom corner of the weak side. Young, the other three teammates who followed up from the weak side formed a natural barrier for Nick Young. After receiving the ball, Young's side was open, and he calmly made a jumper, but he politely gave the Rockets a three-point shot.

Jones took the rebound and stuffed it to Harden, Harden continued his characteristic slow rhythm to advance to the frontcourt, using Motai's cover to break through the middle, but just bypassed the cover and directly distributed the ball to Lawson on the wing, Lawson dribbled to the baseline, suddenly in front of Nance Jr. and turned around to distribute the ball to Jones in the bottom corner, Jones had a good chance to be empty, but he didn't catch the ball.

Jones couldn't catch Lawson's return pass with a slippery hand, but it was a blessing in disguise, bending down to pick up the ball and inadvertently letting Jeremy Lin, who had come over to cut the ball past the defense, and when he picked up the ball, his front was empty again. So Jones dribbled straight to the basket, Nance Jr. hurriedly pushed Lawson away to block Jones, Jones flew under the basket and made a layup, knocking down Nance Jr. and scoring the ball at the same time, because Nance Jr. was standing on the line of a reasonable collision zone, so he was also whistled for a blocking foul.

With 1:12 left in the first quarter, the Rockets replaced Ariza with Brewer, the commander of the Cavalry Company of the Independent Regiment, and now Harden is left on the court with four substitutes. Jones made a free throw to leave the margin by just two points. The Lakers changed tactics, from Randle to the frontcourt, Jeremy Lin was in the bottom corner of the strong side, saw Randle dribbling over, first stepped to the line, then suddenly turned around and slipped to the bottom line to the weak side, borrowed the cover of Nance Jr. in the elbow area to catch the ball, after receiving the pass on the weak wing, a bye deceived Lawson in front of him, and then borrowed Nance Jr.'s cover to break through the bottom line again, and took a sudden step to ensure that Lawson was separated by Nance Jr. and jumped up directly to shoot, this time finally hitting the basket.

After the Rockets kicked off, Harden continued his trademark creep boom, slowly and leisurely transported to the frontcourt, saw Motai blocking at the top of the arc, did not pay attention to him, signaled Motai to stay where he was, go buy a few oranges and come back. Harden dribbled to the wing and distributed the ball to Lawson, who ran backwards from the bottom corner, while forming a back-to-back cover with Motel.

Lawson still couldn't run out of the open space after dribbling through the two walls of Harden and Motel, but Motai who was covering down was missed by the Lakers, Lawson hurriedly passed the ball into the inside, Motai was about to dunk the ball, but Randle let go of his defensive Brewer and shrank back to the inside in time, and blocked Motai's two-handed dunk from the front.

Randle jumped first twice, collected the rebound himself, and went directly to the middle to dribble and counterattack, but Randle himself was under the basket, the farthest distance to counterattack, and the opponents on the road were the most, and as soon as he rushed to the top of the arc, he met Harden, who was already waiting there to try to create an offensive foul with the ball. Randle hurriedly forced a turn past Harden, but his possession was not so fluid, and in order to prevent losing the ball, Randle took the ball directly into his arms before turning.

But although he barely let Harden go, and if he took another step, he would be blown away, and Randle swept Nick with his afterglow. Yang, threw the ball at him. Nick. Young continued to advance in the middle, encountered a frontal interception in the paint area, and hit the ground to outflank Jeremy Lin, who was outflanked by the side, and Jeremy Lin directly shot in the face of an empty basket, but was blocked by Nick head-on. Young's Jones turned around and sent a block.

Brewer picked up the rebound and turned directly to the frontcourt, Motai really hasn't come back yet, but Brewer's pass is too hard, flying directly from the top of Motai's head out of the Lakers' bottom line, wasting a great counterattack opportunity. Seeing the Lakers regain possession, Brewer quickly patted his chest to signal that he was responsible for conceding the ball, and the embarrassing smile on his face made his teammates and fans of the Rockets unbearable to blame him.

The Lakers served quickly, with 35.7 seconds left in the first quarter, Jeremy Lin wanted to quickly steal a good opportunity to leave the Lakers with the last offense, but Randle didn't seem to look at the time, nor did he understand Jeremy Dolin's intentions, but he didn't make the first shot after receiving the ball in the low post, dribbled twice and then turned over for a jumper, this time the shot was not good, and he couldn't touch the basket, and the ball fell directly into Jones's arms.

With 27 seconds left in the first quarter, Harden received the ball and began to press the time, stepping on the 8-second timeline to pass the halfcourt, and directing his teammates to run while controlling the ball. After about 10 seconds, Harden started to attack, and Nick. Young failed to pull the ball twice, but was passed by Harden, burst into the interior and forced the basket to try to make a foul. Nance Jr. came up to the defense and cleanly fanned the ball out of Harden's hand.

"Look, Larry can clean up Harden, and so can you!" Bryant encouraged from the sidelines

"Of course I can, I was just not careful enough, and the distance between Larry and Harden is good in this ball, Harden can't reach it if he wants to foul, it seems that I should make better use of my height and arm span to kite him at a distance!" Hougist analyzed seriously.

With 4.2 seconds left in the first quarter, the Rockets sent the baseline ball, and company commander Brewer took the risk to hang the ball directly to Motai under the basket, Motai received the ball and turned over and hooked his hand, the ball crossed Yi Jianlian's air defense range and fell into the basket, this time the offensive Rockets only took 1.9 seconds, leaving the Lakers with 2.3 seconds of offensive time, Nick Young forced a super long three-point shot in the backcourt under the bag of Harden and company commander Brewer, and threw a whistle three non-sticks.

In the second quarter, Shashewski wanted Haugist to summarize and reflect more on how to make Harden not be deceived, so he did not rush to send him to play, but just let Kobe replace Randle and let Nick. Yang moved to the No. 3 position, Nance Jr. replaced Yi Jianlian at the No. 5 position, and Blake came off the bench as a power forward. The Rockets also gave Harden, who had played a full quarter, a short rest, and sent Lawson, Beverley, company commanders Brewer, Jones, and Capela as a pure bench lineup.
