Chapter 21: The China Race (3)

Brooks controlled the ball and quickly advanced to the halfcourt, and Big Ben immediately made a very good cover for him, completely blocking Huang Jun tightly.

Brooks took advantage of the situation and went directly to the basket, and finally gave full play to his speed advantage, although he was not as fast as Huang Jun, but it was almost impossible for Huang Jun, who was blocked, to catch up with Brooks again.

Brooks, who scored inside, faced Asik and directly came to a pull-up dodge layup and successfully scored the ball.

Huang Jun turned his head and smiled at Big Ben, but in the next moment, he returned to his original expressionless face.

Huang Jun received the ball, and then handed it directly to James, James rushed directly in, a tank-style layup, and Artest was dead against James.

Artest is still very good in terms of strength, but I don't know if I can prevent James's ball.

James didn't plan to give up this offense because of Artest's strict defense, but other players still have to pay attention to James's passing, because you don't know if James will pass or not, and his all-around is known to the whole league. No one dares to be careless.

James forced the ball out of his hand against Artest, who defended very well, trying to keep James away from the basket, so that he could shoot away from the basket, and the farther away from the basket, the lower the shooting percentage.

This ball, in the end, James failed to hit, and was completely interfered with by Artest, just when Big Ben was about to grab this rebound, Asik jumped high, grabbed this offensive rebound, and then passed directly to Szebiak who was in the outside gap.

Szebiak received the ball and shot directly into the three-point shot without any hesitation, this action has been done countless times, and it is still so familiar, the ball flew in the air, and finally fell steadily into the net.

Injuries affected him, but it couldn't change the way he shot, and the decision to shoot, as long as there is a vacancy, he will never have a trace of hesitation, absolutely shot, no matter how many missed before, he still throws the ball with confidence that it will hit.

The three minutes passed quickly, and gradually passed in your comings and goings.

When the first quarter ended, the Cavaliers were 133-32, and the Cavaliers ended the first quarter by a narrow one-point margin and entered the second quarter.

"Teacher, it seems that today's game is very interesting, although it is mainly performance, but according to this trend, both sides may really play in the fourth quarter, and no one wants to lose, what do you say?" Yoga looked at Lu Shun and said.

"Hehe, indeed, there were several violent dunks in the first quarter, it seems that they are all from the Cavaliers, and it is estimated that the Rockets will also start to go crazy at the beginning of the second quarter, and the first half must be performance-oriented, if the score can't be opened, it is possible that the fourth quarter will really play, it depends on the trend of the game" Lu Shun said seriously.

Yoga nodded, and then the scene shifted to the scene again.

The Cavaliers also replaced Huang Jun and James together, and the current lineup on the court is an all-bench lineup. Point guard Gibson, scoring West. Small forward Szczebiak, power forward Brandon Davis, center Asik.

Davis performed very well in the previous summer league, so now head coach Mike Brown has also begun to boldly try to use him to see if the summer league performance is an occasional explosion or his normal performance.

If it's a normal game, Brown has to think about how to develop him, so that Te can become a good player who will help the team win championships.

The lineup on the Rocket's side is also full of substitutes, both sides are ready to fight with substitutes, after all, it's just a Chinese game, both sides don't want to overuse the main force, let the main force participate in the Chinese game, undoubtedly want the main players to recover from the offseason, after all, it has not been an official game for so long, and the state still has to recover

The lineup on the Rockets' side is: point guard Brooks, scoring Bobby Jackson, small forward Barry, big forward Hayes and center Big Ben.

The second quarter begins.

Brooks received the ball, pushed forward quickly, and then stabilized. The current rocket can't accelerate at all, and there are too many slow people.

Brooks looked at Gibson, who was defending himself in front of him, and suddenly made a nervous three-point shot, and the ball went straight into the Nets.

For Brooks' ball, Adelman can only be helpless, he has seen him so three points many times in training, but it is an unspeakable reprimand, because his three-point shooting rate is very high, it can be said that this belongs to his Brooks's rhythm, once he enters the rhythm is also very accurate.

Now Adelman doesn't blame this kind of throwing, recognize him, and the shooting percentage is four achievements.

Gibson watched Brooks shoot like this in front of him, he was also speechless, but in addition to being speechless, he was helpless, Brooks exploded him in speed, Brooks really wanted to break through, and Gibson was difficult to prevent, so he could only interfere with him as much as possible, so that his shooting rate was not too high.

As soon as the Rockets came up, they used a three-pointer from Brooks to successfully overtake the score, and the score was 33-35, and the Cavaliers temporarily trailed by two points.

Gibson controlled the ball, Brooks in front of him lowered his center of gravity and stared at him, Xiaobu could only use his speed to defend, and obviously did not have any advantage in terms of body.

Gibson obviously didn't have the brute force of Brooks, otherwise he would have been sure that his next dead ball would have been replaced, which was absolutely no surprise.

West came over to catch the ball, Gibson ran straight to the position, he is a shooter, looking for open space is what he must know, and at the same time running on the field must not stop, otherwise the threat will lose more than half, or there is no threat at all.

West looked at Jackson in front of him, his eyes were full of disdain, and he directly changed direction and dribbled in the opposite direction, and directly passed it in one step.

Instead of going to the basket, West opted for a stop-and-go mid-range jumper.

Apparently West was confident in his shot, and the shot clearly didn't disappoint him either. brush, the ball hollowed into the net, the score was tied again, and the two sides have been playing very stalemate so far.

Next, Xiaobu did not choose to pass the ball unreasonably in the eyes of others, but broke through, then attracted the defense, and then passed the ball to the outside.

Old Barry received the ball, without a trace of hesitation, and directly shot three-pointers, brushed, and hollowed into the net.

The Rockets scored two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, obviously assisting the outside, in the absence of Yao Ming and Maddy in the lineup, the Rockets began to focus on the outside, and the Rockets' three-point shooting rate is still very good, and the Rockets are also a team that loves to shoot three-pointers, especially in the absence of Yao Mai.

The Cavaliers must not have been driven by two three-pointers in a row with the Rockets because of the Rockets, and the Cavaliers still insisted on their own style of play. No matter how the rockets hit, the knights always respond to all changes.

Gibson then finally ran out of an open space, received a pass from West, and threw his first three-pointer of the game. The ball went into the net, and the first three-point shot hit, but Gibson still has a good set of adjusting his feel.

Then the two sides went back and forth, and the score was never pulled apart by anyone, it was always stuck, and the score was still leading in turns, and no one had been leading for more than three rounds.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, the Cavaliers and Rockets both replaced their main forces, and the score was 48-48, the two sides were still tied, and everything was back to the same place.

And the game is back, this time the ball is the Cavaliers', and the Cavaliers called a timeout just now.

Judging from the current score, this game is destined to be a high-scoring game, obviously a performance-oriented Chinese match, and the two sides are obviously far from the level of the regular season in terms of defense.

Fans like to watch gorgeous offensive games, in the NBA, the team game that Chinese fans don't like to watch the most is the Spurs, the Spurs are a very good team on the defensive end, and the score of the opposing team is basically no more than 90 points after a game.

The Spurs are similarly slow on the offensive end, and it's clear that most fans don't like such a dull game, preferring the latter to the flashy offense.

Of course, there are also Celtics who are also excellent in defense, but there are three giants, and there are undoubtedly more fans, not to mention this year's championship, and it is also the triumvirate that won the championship in the first year, and the future also makes fans look forward to it.

The game is back.

Huang Jun received the ball, slowly pushed the ball into the halfcourt, ignored Alstom, who defended him, and directly hit the ground pass, and Alston directly reached out to steal, but the distance from his fingertips was just a little bit away, which made Alston very helpless.

Who is the target of the ball?

Just when everyone was confused, James cut in directly from the side, took this very beautiful pass, and directly ended the attack with a two-handed dunk.

There were cheers and applause at the scene, there is no doubt that this is the offense that fans like to see, every fan has blood in their hearts, and the violent dunk is undoubtedly the best way to ignite it.

Maddy received the ball in the half and directly faced Battier, Battier's defense is indeed in place, but this time Maddy's offensive heart can be said to be very resolute, and this ball must be his attack, there is no doubt about it.

Of course, the other players of the Rockets don't have any opinions, and everyone is very clear about who the boss is.

Maddy catches the ball and tries to walk, but Battier is unmoved. There is no surprise to Maddy, if Battier moves, then he will not be Battier, and Battier has a lot of experience in this area.

Maddie tried to step again, and at the same time, regardless of whether Battier was unresponsive or fooled, she just burst inside.

Battier naturally followed, and then Maddie took a step back, and then accelerated to the inside again, this time Battier was completely too late, and the center of gravity had been completely lost just now. Coupled with Battier's speed, he was no match for Maddy.

What will Maddie do next as she breaks through the defense?
