Chapter 355: Whistle Killing

“GO”、“GO”、“GO”…… In the neat shouts of the fans in the audience, the Nets rushed to the Rockets with great momentum.

As soon as the "pop" ball was passed to the tall and strong hands, the entire Barclays Center arena erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and the Rockets players were nervous.

Especially Harden, who is not good at defense, is half-crouched, staring at the tall and strong with wide eyes.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang" The tall and strong cross-step dribble slowly approached Harden, but the rhythm was getting faster and faster, and the moment he entered Harden's defensive radius, the tall and strong shoulders wanted to break through.

But at the same time as Harden's slightly "strong" body retreated, the tall and strong man was getting farther and farther away from him.

Step-back jumper after a feint!

Feints, retreats, shots, a coherent rhythm, but with a "dang" sound, the tall and strong shot hit the front of the basket.

"Oh" The whole audience sighed, the reason why the Nets played so hard today is not unrelated to the low shooting rate of the tall and strong.

"Squeak", "squeak", ...... Suddenly the Rockets basket was in chaos, the Rockets interior Jefferson opened his arms to cut through the people around him and was ready to grab the defensive rebound, while the Nets backup center Anderson was determined to shoot the ball out.

With a "snap", after all, Anderson had the upper hand in the mix, only to see him knock the ball out of the penalty area with one hand.

However, the ball flew towards Harden, who was standing on the periphery, and just as Harden was happily about to accept this "gift", a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him.

"Smack". The tall man flew from behind Harden and grabbed the basketball right in front of Harden's eyes.

After grabbing the ball, the tall and strong did not stop at all, and took a big stride directly into the basket.

At this time, Parsons, the Rockets small forward closest to Gao Dazhuang, immediately pounced on the defense, and the two quickly became entangled, but Gao Dazhuang completely ignored his existence and forced a layup against Parsons' defense.

As soon as the tall man jumped, Parsons also took off into the air, his arms fully extended to try to block the tall and strong offensive line, but the tall and strong man in the air suddenly came to a 180-degree sideways spin, and the basketball also changed from the tall and strong right hand to the left hand.

A high-angle throw. "Brush" sound. Tall and strong scored again.

109:103

"There are still 6 points left," said the tall and strong man with a deep exhale, glancing up at the scoreboard and whispering.

The sound of "defense", "defense".......resounded in the arena, the Rockets were attacking, and Harden was slowly advancing with the ball.

Tall and strong stand one meter inside the three-point line. Wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. But when the tall and strong put down their arms. was stunned to find that Harden had already jumped.

Three-point shot! Harden unexpectedly struck a cold arrow a meter away from the three-point line.

"Brush", and Harden's ultra-long-distance ball also scored.

112:103

After scoring the goal, Harden made a "three" gesture and put it on either side of his eyes, and then said very proudly to Gao Dazhuang: "Hey." Now it's 9 points short", apparently the tall and strong words were heard by Harden just now.

"Serve, serve" A voice roared angrily, and the tall and strong looked up to see that it was Anderson who came on the bench, and at this time, Anderson's fighting spirit was extraordinarily energetic.

Stimulated by Anderson, the Nets will quickly adjust their mentality and pounce on the Rockets halfcourt again.

Although Harden's defense is not usually active, at this moment he very, very much hopes to be able to defeat Gao Dazhuang on the Nets' home court, so he stuck to Gao Dazhuang without the ball, and saw the two entangled chest to chest.

At this time, Wallace passed by Gao Dazhuang intentionally or unintentionally, and Gao Dazhuang suddenly pushed Harden in front of him with his hand, and then made a "pile-wrapping" style run, taking the opportunity to get rid of Harden's defense.

At this moment, Stackhouse's pass also came accurately to Gao Dazhuang's hands, and after receiving the ball, Gao Dazhuang took a step forward, and after the whole body moved out of the three-point line, he reflexively made a three-point shot.

With a "brush", the ball crossed a beautiful arc in the air and hit the Nets, and the tall and strong hit the sixth three-pointer in a single quarter.

112:106

After the goal, the tall man gestured with his hand to make a "six" gesture, indicating that Harden was now only 6 points away.

There were still 2 minutes left before the end of the game, and the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense.

"When" Harden's signature move, a step-back jumper, missed, Nets center Anderson leaped high to grab the defensive rebound.

"Be steady, give me the ball" Anderson, the backup center, just grabbed the defensive rebound, and another veteran who came off the bench Starhouse immediately stepped forward to ask for the ball, and had a brief exchange with the coach on the sidelines through his eyes, and Stackhouse controlled the rhythm of the court very well.

After "popping" the ball into the half, Stackhouse steadily passed the ball into the tall and strong hands.

The tall and strong man observed the situation on the court with the ball in one hand, and then made a gesture: 14 to pull away the singles tactics!

This is a single tactic exclusive to the tall and strong core of the Nets.

At this point, the rest of the Nets slowly moved to the other side of the court, and on this side of the team, there was only Harden, who was tall and strong and defended him.

The tall and strong slowly bowed over, and Harden stared at each other with big eyes, and the atmosphere on the court became more and more solemn.

has been teammates with Harden for a few months, and Gao Dazhuang knows that Harden's defense mainly has several problems, one is that the defensive attitude is not active, and there are occasional visits and walks; Second, there is a problem with the defensive position, which cannot pose a big threat to the offensive line and passing route of the offensive players; The third is that there is a big problem with defensive skills, and the top man is easy to lose position, although he is not very shaky, but his speed, burst and bounce are limited.

As a result, the tall and strong suddenly burst out, accelerated violently, adjusted his function to the best state, and without any feints, the strong explosiveness and speed allowed him to leave Harden behind with one step.

The tall and strong man who broke through Harden's defense rushed into the restricted area with a big stride and faced the Rockets' interior Jefferson who came from the defense. Tall and strong leaps high with the ball in one hand.

With a loud bang, the tall and strong man in the air bowed his waist, turned sideways, rotated 90 degrees, and after avoiding Jefferson's block, he held the ball in one hand and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Ah" after the goal, the tall and strong roared excitedly, and slammed his chest with a fist with one hand, and then the whole stadium resounded with the biggest cheers and screams of the game.

112:108

"Four points to go," the tall man glanced at the scorer again, while Harden sulked from the sidelines.

The Rockets' rhythm has been completely disrupted, and on the next offense, Harden stumbled into the Rockets' interior. Sent the ball straight into Anderson's arms.

Harden on offense and Anderson on defense both subconsciously glanced at the referee. The referee waved his hand to signal the game to continue, and Harden immediately waved his hand to the referee and complained about something, and the Nets fans on the sidelines immediately let out a burst of boos.

The "counterattack" basketball team seized the opportunity to quickly make free throws, and the tall and strong man with the ball in his hand immediately rushed to the opponent's penalty area with the ball.

At this time, Harden didn't care about talking to the referee. Immediately, together with Parsons, the two pounced on the tall and strong. But his tall and strong ball-handling skills allowed him to be in a two-man situation. Still pushing towards the Rockets penalty area.

But at this time, Stackhouse ran from the side, and Tall and Strong and Stackhouse tacitly played a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation.

Tall and strong as the ball carrier, Stackhouse as the coverer. After blocking and dismantling, he was tall and strong and went straight to the basket of the rockets.

The huge lethality of the tall and strong immediately attracted the defense of the Rockets' Harden, Parsons and Jeremy Lin, and at this moment, the tall and strong passed the ball to the empty Starkerhouse outside the three-point line.

With a "brush", Stackhouse got up and down and hit a three-point shot.

112:111

"Come on, there's one more point" Gao Dazhuang waved his fist and roared, and suddenly the morale of the Nets was high.

The two sides then attacked and defended each other, but neither could score, and the game fell into a state of anxiety.

With less than 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the Rockets, who led by one point, called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Rockets launched the last offensive game of the game, and Harden, who was in possession at the top of the arc, slowly approached the tall man after spending most of his offensive time.

"Da Zhuang, be careful" Suddenly Starkerhouse's voice sounded in Gao Da Zhuang's ears, followed by the sound of "Peng", and the Rockets' blocking and dismantling cooperation.

In fact, at the timeout, Nets coach Johnson had already predicted that the Rockets' offense would be front-loading, as Harden was very skilled on the dribble and his pick-and-roll offense was the most efficient.

Once Harden and his teammates start covering the offense, he will use crossover steps to confuse his opponents, and then use his teammates' pick-and-rolls to quickly get to the basket and bombard the opponent's hoop.

Although Harden's offense was expected, the Nets still didn't defend it, when Harden suddenly changed direction with the help of the pick-and-roll, passed through the gap between the tall and strong and Starkerhouse, and shook off Wallace with a European step, and forced a sideways layup in the face of Anderson's defense.

1VS4! The Rockets' final offense turned out to be a one-on-four for Harden.

Harden used his strong frame and impact to push Anderson away, and there was nothing between Harden and the basket.

However, just when the corners of Harden's mouth just raised a smile, there was a loud bang of "Peng", and the tall and strong swept behind him at high speed, and knocked Harden's layup away with one palm.

The basketball that was knocked off smashed the rebound, and after rebounding, it was firmly held in Anderson's arms.

"Wow", "Hold on!" Nets fans were excited.

The Nets immediately called a timeout, and with seven seconds left before full-time, the Nets trailed by one point and it was their last chance.

The "beep" timeout ends and the game continues.

Stackhouse stood out of bounds and the rest of the Nets' four stood side-by-side at the free-throw line.

However, unlike other teams, at the moment of serve, the four people in the Nets side by side did not spread out in different directions at the same time to receive the ball, but the other three were covering with the tall and strong.

"Bang", under the cover of three teammates, the tall and strong fought his way out of the encirclement and received the basketball with difficulty.

Gao Dazhuang turned around and began to dribble, at this time the Rockets' Harden and Parsons were sandwiched between the two sides of the tall and strong, but the tall and strong ball control and breakthrough made them dare not shoot easily, on the contrary, under the continuous cross-step of the tall and strong, the two of them also retreated slightly, feeling like the tall and strong one forced back the two.

In the screams of the fans in the stadium, time is also passing second by second, 5, 4, 3, 2....

At this time, Wallace and Stackhouse duo approached Tall and Strong from both sides, and at this time Tall and Strong also started, but Tall and Strong did not use the cover of his teammates, but suddenly exerted force, and forced a breakthrough between Harden and Parsons, just like Harden broke through Tall and Strong and Starkerhouse in the last round.

The tall and strong body of "Tuan" squeezed out of the narrow gap between the two like a fish, and after breaking through, the tall and strong stepped into the Rockets restricted area, and only Jefferson was guarding the Rockets restricted area at the moment.

The tall man who was plugged in at high speed glanced at Wallace, who was cutting in from the flank, and made a feint to pass the ball to the flank, and then slammed the ball into his arms.

It was this simple feint that disrupted Jefferson's pace.

There is no suspense in the duel between the nimble quarterback and the bulky power forward, with the tall and strong one jumping sideways, picking up the basket with one hand and shooting the ball.

With a "brush", the moment the basketball fell into the net, the time on the timer also returned to 0.

112:113! (To be continued......)
