Chapter 342: Turning the tide

Offense is certainly not Mutombo's strong point, but it also depends on who he is and who he is fighting against.

If it's just an ordinary person, Mutombo really doesn't pay attention to it.

And these so-called ordinary people, naturally, include David Harrison.

Mutombo holds the ball under the basket and singles David Harrison with his back.

Mutombo is in his forties, but it is not for nothing that he is very good at maintenance, even at this age, he is still alive and well, and he is known as an evergreen tree of the alliance.

Extremely nimble on his feet, with experience and a sling to David Harrison under the basket, he completed a two-and-one, and although Mutombo's Zhao was not very visible, he still got the opportunity to stand on the free throw line.

Although, in the process, there was also a tsunami of boos, and he was swallowed up in the boos, but Mutombo was unmoved and steadily hit the ball.

This is a typical old ball ruffian.

They don't care what the process is, as long as they can achieve the goal.

Mutombo is also very clear, what is the purpose of the rocket to let himself come up?

The main lineup of the Pacers, this is nothing to say.

It's hard to take advantage of the Pacers' main lineup, but the Pacers' downside is their bench lineup.

The Pacers' bench lineup has always been their flaw.

Therefore, the purpose of the Rockets to bring themselves up is also extremely clear, that is, to lead the Rockets' bench lineup. Go and pull the score away during this time of rotation. That's the main purpose of the rocket.

Mutombo is clear. Therefore, in the game, he also played very clearly, and he was also extremely targeted.

Offense, constant offense, wreaking havoc on the Pacers.

And on the defensive end.

David Harrison is arrogant, although he is a fat man who can't be beaten. This is a common fact, but he does not think that he cannot challenge Mutombo, so he singles Mutombo with the ball under the basket.

In fact, David Harrison is a bit far-fetched for himself.

It was not an opponent at all, and after a few hard gouges in the back, he turned his back directly and tried to turn around and send the ball into the basket. However, Mutombo was killed in the air. The basketball that was projected ~ out of him was a slap in the face.

The basketball projected by David Harrison~ was also slapped directly by Mutombo and flew out.

This time the block also made Mutombo go straight up, and he also put on his trademark celebration move, which he did every time he got the block, and this time was no exception, shaking his index finger directly in front of David Harrison.

It stands to reason that this insulting celebration gesture is to be whistled for a technical foul.

However, Mutombo is different, the first oldest in the league, still has a certain weight in the league, and many referees in the league will also leave him a little thin face.

No technical foul was blown on him.

This goal also gave him a lot of confidence.

Under the leadership of Mutombo, the Rockets' bench is also soaring, and the Rockets' bench once chased the score to 20 points.

At this time, the fans at the Pacers' home court were a little nervous, and many people also began to shout, substitution, substitution, shouting the name of the fat man.

I'm used to winning, and the fans don't want to see the team lose at this time.

Therefore, there was also an earth-shattering cry on the sidelines.

Carlisle knew it wouldn't work.

So, during the rotation, he also asked for a timeout, and this timeout was called earlier than ever.

Called early.

It's rare for the Pacers to ask for a timeout at this time, and even if they do, it's not so early.

The Pacers can't even remember the last time they asked for a timeout.

The walker requested a timeout.

However, the pause did not have much effect.

Even if all the main forces of the Pacers are back, but, because the fat man didn't play much, and the Rockets were slamming hard, the game was not comfortable, and the rhythm was very fast, fortunately, the Pacers' side was still a little playful, otherwise this game would be really difficult to do.

Maddie shoots from beyond the three-point line and the ball goes in.

Miller then followed Maddie's fart~ strand to fight back, chasing the rocket's fart~ strand to hit.

Miller also hit the first three-pointer of the game.

Yao Ming still singled under the basket, turned, hooked his hand, and scored the ball.

The hook under the basket has now become Yao Ming's nirvana, whether it is from the left hook or on the right, Yao Ming can always send the ball into the basket steadily.

The ball goes in.

The basketball also fell steadily into the basket bag, and there was a crisp sound of "shabu", and the ball went in.

Yao Ming was extremely powerful, and Xiao Ao also fought back immediately.

Xiao Ao turned around like a spinning top under the basket and rushed directly to the inside, and his speed and strength were also increased to the extreme.

Xiao Ao didn't want to lose, and now he is playing at full speed.

Xiao Ao who is serious is also extremely difficult to handle, and Xiao Ao was selected by fans as the starting power forward in the East, not without reason.

His strength is here.

Nick erupted, Miller erupted, though, for the Pacers, that's a big deal.

At the very least, they can, they can stand up.

However, on the Pacers' side, Miller and Xiao Ao stepped up, which does not mean that the Rockets' offense has entered a state of pause, it is not the case.

All the main forces on the Rockets' side also came up, and Maddie also continued the feeling of hand ~ in the first quarter of the game.

The Pacers have Fat Man and Little Ao to guard on the inside, which is not much of a problem, and the outside line on the Rockets side does not dare to challenge the majesty of the Pacers' interior line casually.

They don't dare to casually impact the Pacers' interior line, and if they want to impact, it doesn't mean that they can impact if they want to.

However, on the outside, the Rockets are how to shoot.

Maddie fired frequently from outside the three-point line, and the three-pointers rained down.

"Shabu", "Shabu", "Shabu", Maddie in the entire second quarter of the game, although only played for half a quarter, however, Maddie shot three three-pointers.

It's a good thing that the Pacers' main force is back, but it's just a tug-of-war with the Rockets.

You come and go.

The most intuitive point is that the score is constantly soaring.

The Rockets couldn't close the score, and the Pacers couldn't narrow the score, which was still 20 points.

In fact, in this process, there is also an extremely strange phenomenon.

That's the fat man.

Every time the Rockets pull the score apart on the basis of 20 points, the fat man will shoot, and every time he makes a shot, the fat man can always score the ball.

However, once the Pacers narrowed the score to less than 20 points, although the fat man would also shoot, the fat man always didn't, and there were some extremely outrageous earths, such as air balloons.

Seeing the fat man's unusual performance, the Pacers fans who were originally extremely determined were also not calmed down by the fat man.

What's going on?

The fat man is the biggest weapon they rely on, but now the fat man is behaving like this, which also makes them panic.

This is especially true for fans who have also bet heavily on this game.

Everyone longs for the Pacers to win and do miracles, but now they don't.

The game continued to be hot, but the Pacers were unable to tie the score, which was still 20 points.

What's wrong?

What the hell is going on here?

The fans present also have such a big question mark?

However, no one can give them an answer.

~~~~~The whistle blew at the end of the long half-time, and at the end of the half, the difference between the two sides was still fixed at 20 points.

The point difference is actually only a small point, and the most important thing is that the Pacers fans see that the Pacers are not playing at all.

Suffice it to say, the Pacers, on their part, have completely lost the initiative.

This is especially true when it comes to fat people.

You can't open it no matter how you hit it.

Half time over.

The players on the Pacers' side, except for the fat man, all returned to the locker room in despair and didn't say anything, which was also in stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere in the locker room before the game began, and they also had a hunch that they would lose this game.

In fact, whether you lose or not, this can also be felt.

On the Rockets' side, after the half-time, the atmosphere also changed a lot.

In half a game, you can win the Pacers by so many points, not to mention this game, whether the Rockets can take the score down.

Judging from the current situation of the Rockets, the Rockets also gave an extremely loud slap in the face to those who spoke irrationally to the Rockets before the game began.

This is also to make many people who are not optimistic about rockets, realize that rockets are not soft persimmons, let you pinch, before pinching, you also have to weigh whether you have such strength, if not, then you had better not come to provoke rockets.

Rockets are nothing to mess with.

When Van Gundy returned to the locker room, he was also extremely satisfied with the performance of the Rockets, and he was not stingy with the performance of the entire Rockets in the first half of the game, "Guys, you did a good job in the first half of the game, and you also proved yourself, giving those fools who look down on you a resounding slap in the face." You're doing a great job, very good, and I hope you keep up the good work, we need more than just a slap in the face. What I need is for you to stop their winning streak. I believe in you, and you can do it. ”

"Because you're the best. ）
