Chapter 50: Contempt for each other
"Brother, the playoffs are about to start, you better take it easy, don't always play so the inside, your body is easy to fall if you don't control it well, and then the gains outweigh the losses." Davis pointed to his legs, "I used to be a dunker, but I couldn't jump now because I worked too hard when I was young." ”
"You? Buckle will? Chen Lei looked at Davis in disbelief, he had studied this product in his previous life, how did he not know that he was a general?
"It's all clouds, and the focus is on my first half of the sentence." Davis coughed lightly to change the subject.
"Well, don't worry, I'm not a dunk general, it's very tiring to dunk!" Chen Lei nodded, this is the first time that someone has prompted him to dunk less in the offense.
Originally, he didn't plan to develop on the buckle, not because he didn't like the feeling of filling the basket, but because he was too tired.
In the second half, the two sides still sent their starting lineups, with the Rockets taking the lead in attacking, and Beverley taking over the basketball and quickly advancing with the ball.
Harden beckoned for the ball just after halftime, and Beverley gave the ball to Harden for no reason to refuse.
The boss must give the ball, which is something that every junior brother should be familiar with and must not resist.
At the three-point line in the middle, Harden held the ball in both hands, and Collison stood a meter away from Harden with his hands outstretched to assume a defensive posture. Defensive star players need to inject a high level of concentration, so Collison is a little nervous at the moment.
The point is that this guy may not choose to break through, and he has done more than once to deliberately make opponents foul outside the three-point line.
"Whew......" Harden blew out the mustache on his chin, and Harden moved the moment Collison fixed his gaze on Harden's beard.
"Fack! Actually with a beard! Collison was full of muscles, and quickly retreated, shaking his hands from side to side in an attempt to intercept Harden again.
But defense is not his strong point after all!
Harden's speed was fast, and he completed the breakthrough almost in one shot, and when he reached the free throw line, he saw that no one was guarded and accelerated his sprint, and when he got to the basket, he plunged into the pile and threw the ball to the basket.
"Huh!" Harden, who didn't have much defensive pressure when he shot, didn't let the opportunity slip away, waved at the fans with a shot, turned back to defend, and when he passed by Collisson, he swept his eyes and the corners of Collisson's mouth hooked a trace of arc.
"Is he laughing at me?" Collison blinked, took Griffin's pass and dribbled across half court to Paul.
When Collison and Paul formed a double point guard, Collison mostly carried the ball across the half court, and the responsibility of the organization had Paul not falling on his head, which he also knew very well, and he would not have any unpleasant feelings.
You must know that he was Paul's substitute during the Hornets, and he was not the first partner for Paul, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart as early as the Hornets, and there was no anti-emotion for Paul as a substitute.
Paul shook his right hand and made a tactical gesture, and his teammates saw this and ran quickly.
Glancing around, Paul threw the ball to the basket Jordan Jr., Howard was under the basket and the basket was one meter in front of Jordan Jr., which was Jordan Jr.'s bombing area.
"Let me in!" Taking a step forward, Jordan Jr. picked up his arm and slammed it into the basket with a one-handed slam dunk.
"Fuck, why is this guy trying to dunk a basketball into the hoop from the top of my head?" A wave of anger rose in Howard's heart, although your Clippers are an air crew, you can't be a person to dunk, right?
The rookie fat man slapped himself before, and you want to come too?
Lao Tzu is so easy to be bullied when he is watched?
"Get out of here!" Howard roared angrily and slapped the basketball in Jordan Jr.'s hand, and the two met again in the air.
"Bang!" The two muscular men collided with each other with a muffled sound, and the two looked at each other, one continuing to wave his arm towards the basket, and the other slapped both hands at the same time towards the hand holding the ball.
Little Jordan's body that originally wanted to dunk was directly pressed down by Howard, and even shot down from the air with the ball.
"Beep ......" the referee blew the whistle and pointed at Howard to make a defensive foul gesture, then pointed at Jordan Jr. and made a free throw.
Little Jordan sighed in his heart, it's a free throw again, he really doesn't have much confidence in this thing.
Chen Lei's shooting rate dropped to 62.6% because he played more as a small forward, so the top position fell on Jordan Jr., and now the NBA player shooting rate, Jordan Jr. 66.3% ranks first among all players.
However, this high shooting percentage does not mean that Jordan Jr. is accurate in free throws, and eight of this guy's offenses are completed by dunks out of ten, which is no wonder.
And free throws are a big criticism of Jordan Jr.
As always, Jordan Jr.'s free throws were not enough to see, the first free throw hit the inside of the basket, and the second free throw stumbled into the basket.
Howard glanced at little Jordan, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked a trace of arc, remembering his free throw shooting percentage, which seemed to be better than this guy.
"What are you laughing at?" As if he had guessed something, little Jordan looked at Howard.
"I'm laughing at your punishment...... Howard said halfway through and then choked back, "It's nothing, I'll think about life again." ”
Little Jordan pouted, "I know you're laughing at my free throws, but you know, your free throws stink better than mine!" ”
"Hey~ You kid is really embarrassed to say this, my free throws are enough to top you two." Howard raised his proud head.
"I've only heard of chopping tactics, but I've never heard of chopping Joe" Little Jordan rubbed his nose "Brother, why do you say this?" ”
"Maybe it's because I'm handsome, right?" Howard thought for a few seconds and replied.
"You guys are quite compatible with Chen in our team, they are both shameless." The corners of Little Jordan's mouth twitched slightly, as the two opponents, is it really okay for you to be so narcissistic?
"I think so too, so one of the Rockets' goals for next season is to get that kid over." Howard nodded.
"Dream on, Rivers won't let the Rockets succeed!" Jordan Jr. snorted coldly, and when he saw Beverley pass the ball to Howard, he closed his mouth and made defensive moves.
When Howard received the ball and beat Jordan Jr., the playful temperament disappeared without a trace, and in the face of a bouncing weirdo like Jordan Jr., Howard chose to play a low single, advanced to the basket and retreated, hooked the ball to the basket, and the basketball slid through an arc and entered the pocket steadily.
All of the Rockets' offense in the second half was concentrated in the hands of Harden and Howard, which is also a common opening tactic for the Rockets.
And today's Howard has a good hand, how to shoot and shoot two simple steps towards the basket, fully showing the strength of his first center.
When he saw Howard play McHale in the low post more easily and gestured to Beverley in the court, Beverley nodded and understood McHale's tactical arrangement, and the Rockets' offensive firepower began to move closer to the inside.
Howard found his offensive path in the face of Jordan Jr.'s defense, winning 3 consecutive interior singles and a 2+1 at the same time.
The difference between the two teams gradually widened, and at 3:39 in the third quarter, it had widened to 11 points, and the momentum of the Toyota Center became stronger and stronger, and the home fans shouted excitedly every time they scored the goal.
Rivers didn't opt for a timeout, and the Clippers with Paul didn't need to waste a timeout.
(Anthony and Wade, I'm still looking forward to the next home of these two guys, or I'll get together.) )
