As Kenny said, De Antony got up and raised his hand to signal a timeout to the referee, and the Rockets quickly gathered around him due to his physical limitations.

"Don't panic, everyone, we have no problem with the choice of defense and offense, but we are a little unlucky, let's reduce our speed and stabilize the situation later, and don't get into the rhythm of the other party."

After a 75-second timeout, De Shuai spoke less than 5 sentences in total, and no specific tactics were arranged, Ariza, Tucker, and Capela were stunned, but neither Harden nor Paul felt that there was anything wrong, because in their eyes, the current situation of the Rockets was indeed the case.

At the end of the timeout, the game resumed, Paul controlled the ball and advanced, and the other Rockets players took their places.

After taking the ball to the top of the arc, Paul slowed down and made tactical gestures, Capela stepped forward to block the pick-and-roll, and Randolph followed closely to prepare for a switch.

Generally speaking, at this time, Paul will either use the speed advantage of playing small and big on the outside to break through to the basket and score, or directly shoot directly on the spot with Capela to cover the shot.

But Paul didn't choose either, he continued to control the ball until Harden got rid of Rose's entanglement and passed the basketball out.

Nowadays, there are few players in the league's backcourt who can compete with Harden, and Harden receives passes on the go, and Rose's close defense is squeezed back frequently.

However, after entering the paint area, Harden really pushed hard, and Rose was immediately pushed a position away.

Harden, who had no interference, immediately pulled out his hand and hit a 2-point shot.

When the Rockets finally scored, the Toyota Center burst into cheers one after another, as if the Rockets were about to overtake the score and win the game.

The Yibian King attacked again, and Zhang Feng intended to find Harden to fight alone, but Harden seemed to be intent on avoiding the battle, and after several attempts, the two failed to match.

Since you can't single out Harden, you can only go one-on-one with Paul.

Fans who watch games often know that although Paul is only 183 (and maybe even higher) tall, he is very good defensively, and defensive point guard is his job, and sometimes he even misplaces defensive forwards.

In the '14 playoffs, the Clippers played the Thunder, and Rivers temporarily sent Paul to replace Durant. At first, the decision to surprise the fans was very baffling, but in the end, the results showed that Paul's restriction on Durant worked well.

In addition to the misplaced defense, Paul, like Zhang Feng, has a moment when he faces a fast attack, 1 defense and 3 defenses.

The reason for this is that Paul's excellent defense comes from excellent behavior prediction, and of course, some small actions also contribute to it.

Now Zhang Feng is facing such a situation, his feints can't deceive Paul at all, because Paul touches his body from time to time, although the league has NO-HNADCHECK rules, but Paul's movements are very concealed and fast, and the referee either didn't find it, or found out that it was too late to blow the penalty.

The two were entangled for nearly 6 seconds, Zhang Feng never found a suitable opportunity to break through, and it would definitely not work if he continued to drag on, he retreated one step back to open the distance, and then pulled up a jump shot.

Hitting the iron, Capela grabbed the rebound, Harden took the long pass and launched a fast attack, and Zhang Feng chased after him with a headache. 、

Why headaches? Because he knew that his mind was being disturbed by Paul.

So far in the regular season, he has thought about Curry, Irving, Wall, Lillard and others, and he is very unhappy with only Paul can defend, which not only limits his offensive ability, but also weakens his organizational ability. It can be said that a large part of the reason for the King's first big loss to the Rockets was that Zhang Feng, as a point guard, failed to organize the whole team's offense.

"Zhang Feng seems to be a little confused, this time the Rocket fast attack, his defensive choice is very problematic"

"Is there something wrong? Zhang Feng is the fastest, he doesn't guard against Harden, who will? ”

"Shaq, you're just unreasonable, of course you have to defend, but at least you have to give a clear message to your teammates, he first defended Harden, and then chased Paul, and the rest of the Kings didn't know what to do" Kenny was not polite and sprayed directly at O'Neal.

As Kenny said, Zhang Feng changed the defensive object one after another, and Rose and Justin, who were chasing after him, were at a loss, and finally were easily beaten by Harden and Paul 2 to 3, and then lost 2 points.

With such an obvious mistake, the Kings' courtside commentators were not as subtle as the O'Neal trio, who mercilessly criticized Zhang Feng's poor defense, and his past praise for Zhang Feng's defense should be withdrawn.

They dare to say that it is because they stayed out of the matter, and the Kings naturally discovered Zhang Feng's problem, but no one dared to speak. Second, they are afraid of affecting Zhang Feng's later performance, this game is a key battle for MVP, if Zhang Feng makes a conservative choice later, the highlight moment in the eyes of fans and media commentators will be greatly reduced.

Turning back to the king's attack, Zhang Feng brought the ball to the right wing, and Randolph took the initiative to block and dismantle, but Zhang Feng didn't seem to be happy, and directly waved his hand to signal Randolph to get out of the way, making it clear that he wanted to go head-to-head with Paul.

Randolph sighed without a trace, in his opinion, Zhang Feng is still a rookie after all, once he doesn't play well, it will be easy to get up, the rocket has obviously slowed down, and it is useless to be in a hurry with them.

Without waiting for Randolph to finish sighing, Zhang Feng made another three-point shot, but unfortunately he still didn't score, plus Randolph was not under the basket, Capela got the rebound again, and raised his hand to make another long pass.

Seeing the rocket's fast attack, Zhang Feng immediately turned around and chased wildly.

At this time, it was Ariza who was holding the ball and advancing it, he was on the left sideline, Zhang Feng was on the right sideline, it stands to reason that Zhang Feng should not chase him at such a long distance, but Zhang Feng still rushed to him without hesitation.

"It's over, Zhang Feng is on top, how can there be such a fast attack?" Barkley sighed, but a smile appeared on his face.

"He's probably too eager to prove himself, after all, the Kings have lost two big games so far, one of which was to the Rockets," Kenny tried to explain why.

O'Neill didn't speak, just watched the live broadcast silently, and only after a long time did he squeeze out a sentence: "I believe Zhang Feng."

But as soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Ariza passed the ball to Harden, who followed up, Zhang Feng's defense was instantly useless, and Harden caught the ball and hit another 3-point shot.

A wave of 7:0, the rocket instantly pulled the difference back to 10 points, the situation has stabilized, De Shuai nodded with satisfaction and sat down, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Zhang Feng still lacks competition experience, but can anyone tell me how he lost his mind?" Kenny's eyes widened in question.

"Maybe the consecutive singles Paul was unsuccessful, and I was in a hurry" O'Neal shook his head and said in a regretful tone.

"It's not interesting for you to say this, all of them are emphasizing that Zhang Feng played badly, shouldn't you talk about Paul and Harden playing well? Paul's excellent defense, Harden's unsolvable offense, and the combination of gunners are invincible."
