Chapter Twenty-Six: Another Defeat

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! The members of the 76ers expressed their belief in victory with their own practical actions! The Rockets also have no idea of losing, and the fierce competition in the West has made all the teams tense! For a game against a team like the 76ers, the Rockets are naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to win! After all, basketball is round, there are too many uncertain factors, and only the victory that has been reached is a real victory!

After a timeout, Harden teamed up with Josh. Smith appears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoJosh threw the ball directly to Harden from outside the line, and Harden, who had been breaking through all the time, was not the same as before. Dribbling the ball and adjusting his position, Robert, who was accustomed to Harden's breakthrough, deliberately left a distance to deal with Harden's breakthrough.

The script, Robert has already written it in his mind for Harden, and he is waiting for Harden as the protagonist. However, this time Harden did not follow Robert's imagined plan, and chose a jump shot unexpectedly by Rob, and Harden, who had an empty position, undoubtedly threw the ball into the basket. This kind of shooting is like a training shot, it's easy!

"Damn!" Robert couldn't help but burst out.

"Three points? Me too! This basket is really like the endless sea, no matter how you throw it! Harden looked at Robert helplessly, looking very distressed.

"Huh"

"I'm hehe, you're looking at it!"

Robert ignored Harden, took the ball and threw it directly outside the three-point line, too! Robert stretched out his hands, followed Harden's example, and made an innocent look!

Harden looked straight at the tooth flower, this kid is really good! Still have to do it! I can't let this kid be despised anymore, control the ball, and wait for the opportunity steadily. Robert knew he wasn't too good defensively and was looking for an opportunity to try a steal.

Robert suddenly made a strong gambling steal, winning can not only defuse the offense, but also increase the team by two more points, as for the bet to lose, that is to let Harden easily get the vacancy!

Unfortunately, Robert lost this bet! Harden firmly controlled the ball and avoided Robert's steal, and there was no one in front of him, Harden didn't make a jump shot directly as he thought, and he didn't know if his hand was shaking, or if he used too much force, the ball actually bounced out! Didn't hit! Robert secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Opportunity! Howard, who was stuck in position under the basket, saw the ball pop out of the frame, took a deep breath, jumped straight up, and stretched out his hand to resist Noll and take the ball down. As soon as he fell to the ground, Howard shouted, jumped up again without stopping, and smashed the ball into the basket fiercely.

Facing Thompson, who was attacking the basket by the 76ers, Howard switched positions to make up for the defense, squeezed Thompson, who was galloping at full speed, and constantly adjusted his position with excellent defensive awareness. After Thompson made a move, Howard mercilessly ended the 76ers' offense with a cruel hat!

Howard stuffed the ball straight to Beverley, who came to pick it up, and quickly ran to the front court to participate in the offense! After giving Harden a cover, Howard quickly caught the attention of Noll and Covington. Harden passed the ball to Josh, who was in a small open space. Smith, Josh was about to shoot after a dribble, and Noll hurriedly made up for it. Who knew that Josh didn't stop, but stubbornly threw the ball over!

Seeing the strength of Josh's shooting, Knoll and Covington immediately got into position and prepared to get the rebound as soon as the ball fell!

Imagination is always so beautiful, and reality is also very cruel! The ball's tall parabola brushes the basket with a perfect arc across the bridge! Just when Covington thought he was going to pocket the rebound perfectly, suddenly a powerful force hit Covington's back, making Covington stumble and take a few steps forward, and Howard viciously poured the ball into the basket! Aerial relay slam dunk! Howard clenched his hands, shook his arms hard, and roared at the audience!

Howard, who has not been playing too comfortably, took advantage of this ball to vent happily! Unable to compromise with the big boy whose power is declining, and the helplessness that runs counter to the appeasement of the uniform team is vented all of them! People are about to forget about Howard, who led the team to the Finals, the best defensive player in a three-in-a-row, and the super center who is now like a blue-collar center who was once the league's No. 1 center!!

As they often say, handsome is only three seconds! Looking at the coquettish Howard, Harden was not willing to be lonely and began to increase his shots and control the team's ball!

But the good thing is that while Harden scores on his own, he also keeps feeding the ball with Beverley inside, and Josh becomes the beneficiary's continuous hitting, back shot, mid-range shot and three-pointer! Howard also had rebounds and points in the net! The Rockets, who suddenly exploded, stopped the 76ers, and with three points left in the third quarter, the Rockets led by 8 points!

Halfway through the third quarter, Robert suddenly couldn't get the ball, it was like losing the trust of his teammates! McCarvey began to connect with the team's interior line more, and Robert could only repeat the switchback run! By the time Robert trailed by eight points in the third quarter, he was replaced after a three-point miss.

The Rockets also replaced Howard and Beverley, and by the end of the third quarter, although the 76ers played decently, Harden's outburst inevitably extended the score to double digits!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Robert did a three-pointer to shrink the score back to single digits and kick off the 76ers' counterattack! However, the players of the Rockets did not relent, and the scores of the two sides increased alternately, and they have always maintained the point difference! Just over halfway through the fourth quarter, the mentality of the players of the Rockets, who have been leading the team, has relaxed a little!

The 76ers seized this opportunity, the firepower on the outside continued, and the Knoll and Covington on the inside also played cooperation and cover! With two minutes left, chase until there is one point left! The point is that it's still the 76ers' possession! At the end of the 24 seconds, Robert grabbed the shot from outside the three-point line!

Josh picked up the rebound and threw it directly to Beverley, who was already past half court, and made an easy layup, and the score was in a relatively safe position! But Robert then broke the so-called protective film with a three-pointer, and the two sides were tied!

Just when the Rockets called a timeout to lay out offensive tactics, the 76ers head coach made a surprising decision to press Robert to the bench and replace him with Richardson! In the end, the Rockets narrowly defeated the 76ers with a score of 101:98 at home!

After the game, the reporter interviewed Robert and asked about his feelings about being on the bench at the last minute, and Robert simply responded that the coach must have his own ideas when doing this, and as a player, he must listen to the gradual arrangement!

The next day, there was also a lot of media coverage about the game!

"Exploring the reason for the abandonment of the dark horse rookie is actually a huge contradiction with the head coach"

"Locker Room Cancer! Friction between undrafted rookies and teammates》

Trading? The 76ers say that rookies who have played well recently are also on the shelves! 》
