Chapter 119 Chinese Derby (5)
At the end of the first quarter of the game, Liang Xiao watched the game between the Knicks and the Rockets bench for a few minutes on the bench, and in this first quarter of the game, he barely passed the test and scored four points, but he never had the opportunity to attack with the ball, so he was speechless. Liang Xiao now listened to Van Gundy constantly reminding the Knicks players on the sidelines of some things to pay attention to in the next game, and what things to pay attention to in which position, Liang Xiao had to listen from the sidelines.
"Coach Zhang, if you play in the next second quarter, I think the Knicks will strengthen in many aspects, if this continues, I think the Knicks will definitely fall behind in victory!" The court five stations came back from advertising in the first section, and the host said.
"Now all the question is whether the Knicks can get the guarantee of their own players on all points, and if they can play consistently, there will be no problem, if there is no good countermeasure to continue like this, it will definitely not work! Take Liang Xiao as an example, Liang Xiao is on the court as a substitute, I think Van Gundy has to do his own article on the point guard issue, otherwise, under Francis's strong body, the Knicks will definitely have no way! Like this, on the inside line, the Knicks also have to find a way to deal with Da Yao, although Da Yao is not a headache for the Knicks now, but the Knicks still have to take some scoring means, at least on the inside line, the Knicks' score will drop compared to the previous games! Director Zhang said after some analysis of the Knicks' scoring points.
"Okay, now let's see if the score on the court can change, and whether the Knicks will change in the second quarter." As the game pause in the first quarter came back, the situation on the field was watched by spectators.
In the second quarter, Houston rested off the court, Liang Xiao replaced him, and Spreville on the court joined Anderson, Thomas, and Easley, who had rested for a long time. The players of the Rockets are Da Yao resting off the court, two strong guards are on the court, and Cato is on the court, which means that the Rockets' lineup has not changed much, and the players have a lot of time to rest in the rotating Rockets.
Liang Xiao got Easley's share on the court, and directly faced the old cat Mobley to break through, in the first quarter, Liang Xiao was holding back his strength and did not get vented, and now Houston is not on the court, Liang Xiao's position does not overlap, and he does not take care of it so much, after arriving in the front court, Liang Xiao took the initiative to ask for the ball.
The old cat Mobley's body is also very perverted, with the same height and weight as Francis, and the two have always been like twins. In the Rockets, the combination was strong, and in later life, the Rockets traded them for Maddie, and both in the Magic. Mobley directly stuck Liang Xiao and prevented him from entering the interior line, stirring up the Rockets' lineup. Because in the first quarter, Liang Xiao mainly made a layup after the breakthrough, and the four points he got were all layups. Mobley also restricts this, but Liang Xiao has his own killer feature.
Seeing that he didn't have a good breakthrough path, Liang Xiao slowed down and took his own backward jumper.
After slowing down two steps, Liang Xiao got up, facing Mobley, nothing polite, jumping, very high, bending his knees, adjusting the angle.
"Director Zhang, look at Liang Xiao's backwards, it's the action that Liang Xiao likes to use in front, this action is really difficult to defend, look at this angle, it's thirty degrees faster if you lean back, I think Mobley is worried." The host saw Liang Xiao's movements, "Leaning back, having the ability to stay in the air, plus the angle is very large, and the jump is also high, Mobley has no possibility of blocking at all, throwing, accuracy, the ball is scored, two points!" ”
"This ball is Liang Xiao's best hand, if you want to talk about other balls, I think Liang Xiao may not have such an advantage, Liang Xiao's hand must have trained a lot!" Commentator Zhang instructed to follow up on the host's words.
"Hehe, this is like many NBA superstars have their own stunts, and Liang Xiao also has his own stunts! I think that if Liang Xiao relies on this stunt in the future, he will put a piece of people in the alliance! ”
After switching sides, Francis advanced with the ball, facing Easley, at first in the first quarter, Easley had no way at all, at this time Francis also looked at this, but when Francis broke through, he began to pack, Anderson stepped forward and caused Francis a lot of trouble together.
But Francis had already started up, and he was trapped, so he had to protect the ball and wait for his teammates to pick it up, but the other players were under the defense of the Knicks, and one of them came up by surprise, which made the Rockets a little unable to parry. Seeing that Griffin had a little space and divided the ball, but in mid-air, a big hand blocked the way of the ball, this is Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao looked at Francis's pass, slapped it, and the tips of his fingers touched the ball, changing the direction of the ball, at this time Sprewell just grabbed it, and all the players began to run to the front court, the Knicks players wanted to get a fast break, and the Rockets wanted to stop.
Liang Xiao and Anderson galloped all the way, and Old Cat and Francis were chasing after them. Sprewell dribbled quickly, reversed the ball to Liang Xiao halfway, Liang Xiao reversed the ball to Anderson in front of him, Anderson gave Sprewell at the three-point line, at this time Liang Xiao had already arrived in the paint area, and a bold idea from Sprewell appeared directly in his mind.
The ball was thrown in the air, at this time the old cat couldn't stop the car, and rushed directly to the outside of the court, Francis also jumped, but Sprewell saw Liang Xiao and Francis on the left and right, Liang Xiao saw that the ball hit the board on his side, Francis could only watch Liang Xiao fly up, grab the ball, a super slam dunk.
Suddenly the stadium was boiling, and all the fans were waving their hands, adrenaline-pumping, and nothing was concerned, whether it was coffee or popcorn.
The big screen above the stadium kept playing back Liang Xiao's wonderful buttons, the cooperation between the three people, and finally directed by Sprewell, Liang Xiao's buttons, many fans who didn't pay attention at first stretched their necks to watch the screen. Liang Xiao and Sprewell jumped up after landing on the ground, slamming each other into their chests.
"Ratrier, you're such a genius, I like you so much, you know what, I've never felt so good." Liang Xiao said loudly to Sprewell, because the current arena can only be heard if he speaks loudly.
Sprewell kept putting his arms around Liang Xiao's neck, laughing happily at each other.
"I really didn't expect it, Sprewell, a madman has such an idea, a madman is a madman!" The host also said to Liang Xiao's violent dunk, Sprewell's pass was too good.
"This time the Rockets were careless, what they didn't expect was that the Knicks made a bag after they got on the court, and it was a bag for Francis."
At this time, the Rockets kicked off, and Van Gundy shouted loudly on the sidelines for the Knicks players to pay attention to their positions.
The Rocket team was a little angry in Liang Xiao's violent slam, when had he been played like this, he probably didn't know it in the corner of his memory for a long time. After receiving the ball, Francis pushed forward to the frontcourt, and this time the Knicks' bag came a little earlier, directly to Mobley. Mobli chose to break through to Liang Xiao, and he was always a little depressed about Liang Xiao's ball just now, no matter how low-key he was in normal times, but now he needs to stand up and speak.
Mobley pushed straight forward against Liang Xiao, and made a turnaround jumper at the free throw line.
After that, the two teams continued to fight scores, and during this period, there was no explosion like the beginning, because such moments are very rare. In the second quarter of more than four minutes, Liang Xiao was substituted, the Rockets' Da Yao was replaced, Houston, who had rested for a while, faced the opponent's Mobley and began to exert his power, directly hitting three balls in a row, including a three-pointer, and Thomas also got two shots in a row. The opposing Mobley and Francis also substituted with five minutes left in the second quarter, and the two became the Rockets' leading scorers in the second quarter. Da Yao could only face Harrington, who had just played, on the inside, and the two won in a flicker.
At the end of the second quarter of the game, the Knicks relied on the morale that they pulled up at the beginning, coupled with Houston's might, and suddenly overtook the Rockets' score, and finally fixed at 57-53, the Knicks still won a four-point advantage, but the Rockets did not give up such an opportunity, and kept biting the score. Liang Xiao scored 6 points in the second quarter and finally got 10 points at halftime, while Da Yao got more support at the firepower point, scoring 7 points, and 15 points at halftime, which was half more than Liang Xiao.
Fifteen minutes into the halftime break, Liang Xiao kept exchanging experiences with Sprewell in the locker room in the second quarter, and they hadn't been so happy playing for a long time, and the two couldn't help but get a reminder from Van Gundy that if they didn't listen carefully to the tactics, they would wait to sit on the bench in the second half, so they had to press down their excitement.
