Chapter 263: Savior

Compared to the smooth sailing of the Trail Blazers, the Rockets' offense seems to be stuck in a quagmire.

With a "dang", Harden chose to step back and shoot after failing to break through Matthews, but today's basket seemed to cover Harden, and the ball was still bounced out of the basket.

With less than 1 minute left before the end of the first quarter, the score is currently 30:10, and the Rockets are already 20 points behind their opponents in the first quarter.

James Harden, the core of the Rockets, scored 2 points on 10-of-10 shooting, no assists, no rebounds, and the new "ace" of the Rockets had a very dismal start to his home debut, and the home fans of the entire Toyota Center were also whispering.

"Toot" at this time the referee's whistle sounded, "Team Rocket asked for substitution"

I saw that the tall man wearing the No. 14 jersey was already standing on the sidelines and eager to try, and the player he replaced was Harden, the new ace of the Rockets.

I saw Harden's gloomy face walking off the sidelines, and he didn't even say hello to the tall man, and sat directly on the bench.

"The Rockets should have adjusted a long time ago, Harden had no presence at all in this game, and he dragged down the Rockets' overall offense, even my next-door neighbor's old lady knew that the Rockets' next offense was Harden's single" Bill Worrell mercilessly criticized the new Rockets leader.

"Gao from China is on the field, he is the first Chinese backcourt player to land in the NBA, but he is currently playing much better than his predecessors, and with Harden completely dumb fire, the Rockets need to provide high firepower, you must know that Gao is a tanhua show, and he is three picks higher than Lillard, who played exceptionally well for the Trail Blazers today," Russ Peterson agreed.

Although the team fell behind the opponent by a large score, the tall and strong play still won the unanimous applause of the home fans.

"Hey, I've seen you in China," said the tall and strong as he passed Lillard's side.

"Oh? College Basketball Exchange Tournament? Lillard replied with a startled look at the tall man.

"Yes," replied the tall man, smiling like an old friend.

"You didn't play? No wonder, I guess that as the best college team in China, the strength should be more than that," Lillard suddenly realized.

"Hehe" Gao Dazhuang did not intend to explain to Lillard that he was not a member of Huaqiao University that Lillard was playing against, as a player from the college campus, Gao Dazhuang did not want CUBA to be looked down upon.

However, after the tall and strong came on the court, the Rockets' first offense was ended by Jeremy Lin, who, after spending a lot of time on the dribble, chose a bad breakaway route, and finally chose to force a shot under the bag of the Trail Blazers defenders, and the result was, of course, a miss.

"Shhhh

The Trail Blazers launched a counterattack again, and Aldridge hit a high-post jumper to 32:10, and the difference was widened to 22 points.

With 30 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had one full offensive time, and the ball was still in the hands of starting point guard Jeremy Lin.

"Pass, pass, pass," many fans in the Toyota Center began to yell at the team's point guard, Jeremy Lin.

At this time, Gao Dazhuang used a counter-run to successfully get rid of the Trail Blazers defender Matthews's sticky defense, "snap", and Jeremy Lin also passed the ball to Gao Dazhuang in time.

After receiving the ball, the tall and strong did not stop at all, and raised his hand to shoot.

"Drink" At this time, Matthews let out a loud shout and flew directly and pounced.

But at the moment when Matthews jumped, the tall and strong suddenly collected the ball, restrained the rising body alive, and broke through from Matthews's flank.

"Oh" The tall and strong breakthrough won a burst of exclamations from the fans.

However, the Trail Blazers clearly did their homework on the Rockets' breakout, and their two interior players, Aldridge and J.J. Hickson, were already in a defensive position, one left and one right.

In the face of the Trail Blazers' dense defense, Gao Dazhuang chose the same step back as Harden, and after opening up the offensive space, Gao Dazhuang made a jump shot with a slight lean.

The ball was gently withdrawn by the tall and strong and flew straight into the basket in an elegant arc, and the entire Toyota Center Arena was silent as everyone watched the ball.

With a "dang", the tall and strong shot still hit the front of the basket.

"Alas" the home fans sighed, this attack did not succeed and really stabbed the hearts of the home fans.

Trail Blazers power forward Aldridge immediately jumped up to pick up the defensive rebound, but just as he was about to grab the ball in his hands, someone quicker than him grabbed the ball in front of him and lightly touched the ball.

"What?" Under Aldridge's astonished gaze, the ball changed course in the air, and with a "brush", the ball landed accurately in the basket.

After landing on the ground, Aldridge looked back sharply and saw that the new "rookie" of the Rockets was standing next to him and J.J. Hickson at the moment.

It's tall and strong! After Gao Dazhuang missed the shot, he immediately rushed to the basket, and took advantage of the slightest negligence in the opponent's defense to make up the ball before the opponent's two tall interior lines.

"Oh" The entire Toyota Center Arena erupted, and the fans who had been suppressed for a whole quarter let out their emotions loudly.

"Pretty" Patterson rushed up and gave Gao Da Zhuang a bear hug, and Gao Da Zhuang's goal also greatly relieved the pressure on the Rockets fans on the court.

"Defensive, defensive" Tall and Strong hurriedly pushed Patterson away and shouted at his teammates to return to defense, about 20 seconds before the end of the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers are on offense, and Lillard is in control of time.

Seeing the time pass second by second, Jeremy Lin was a little anxious and began to take the initiative to fight Lillard.

"Cluster" But when Jeremy Lin made a forward steal, Lillard changed direction and rushed inside next to Jeremy Lin, but Lillard was forced to stop as soon as he was halfway through.

Because of the tall and strong defense of the Rockets from the side, they successfully blocked Lillard's breakthrough route.

Seeing that the team's shooting guard Matthews was unmarked, Lillard jumped up to take the ball after a feint breakaway

Straight to Matthews.

There was a "snap", but Lillard's pass was still in the air, and it was intercepted by a tall and strong palm that suddenly jumped up.

"What?" In Lillard's surprised gaze, the tall and strong had already rushed forward at full speed, and the broken ball was also grabbed by Patterson of the Rockets who followed from behind.

"Tall" Patterson yelled and threw the ball forward with one arm, while the Trail Blazers only had one tall and strong Rockets player in the entire half, and the Trail Blazers, who returned to defend in time, had Batum, Matthews and Lillard firmly behind the tall and strong.

"Pop" is tall and strong, and after receiving Patterson's half-court long pass, he adjusted a few steps and jumped high, holding the ball in both hands and smashing the ball into the basket.

Seeing the tall and strong dunk posture, Batum, the Trail Blazers small forward closest to the tall and strong, also jumped high, and the whole person pounced on the tall and strong, and blocked the tall and strong dunk from behind.

With a loud bang, the tall and strong man slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, while Batum slapped the tall and strong other arm with a crisp sound.

"Beep" referee's whistle sounded again, "defensive foul"

2+1!

"Oh" The home fans at the Toyota Center were completely blown up by this slamming dunk by the tall and strong whistle.

"Beautiful, high on the court changed the state of the Rockets on the court, a rebound, a steal, a dunk, tall and strong gave the Rockets much-needed firepower, he is the savior, the Rockets still have to play in this game" Bill Warrell, the on-site commentator, also said excitedly.

"Brush" with a tall and strong free throw, 32:15, the first quarter of the game ended.

"Coach, I'm well rested," Harden, who was sitting in the bench chair during the break, suddenly stood up and said to head coach McHale.

"Huh?" McHale glanced at Harden suspiciously, then looked back at the tall and strong staring at the tactical board, and said with difficulty: "Wait"

"Hey" Hearing the coach's final decision, the tall man with his head down couldn't help but snicker, "You still want to continue playing after playing so?" Of course, this sentence is tall and strong, just saying it in my heart.
