Chapter 142: The Old Times

Wang Shuang is not ruthless this time.

The elbow of his left arm slammed directly into Beverly's cheekbone.

The cheekbones are inherently very fragile.

Beverly was immediately smashed and bled profusely.

But the pain didn't come right away.

Because on the pitch the players have an adrenaline rush.

Adrenaline masks the pain of the person.

However, the vertigo from the elbow blow came very quickly.

Beverly threw garlic at his feet and fell directly to the ground.

The scene was in an uproar, and this time it was really ruthless.

Of course, this one can't compare to the one when Karl Malone elbowed David Robinson.

Carl Malone's moment directly knocked David Robinson unconscious and sent him on a stretcher.

Wang Shuang is okay this time, Beverly is not dizzy.

It's just that the cheek is broken and a lot of blood is shed.

Then the person fell to the ground, and the whole person was a little dizzy.

Can't get up yet.

The Rockets stepped forward to help Beverley up.

But no one came over to give Beverly a head.

Because Beverly himself is the garbage dog in his early teens.

Wang Shuang directly blew the head of this garbage dog.

The referee reviewed the video and determined that Wang Shuang's goal was a first-degree malicious foul.

The ball goes to the Rockets.

Wang Shuang has no objection to this.

But the Rockets fans at the scene were not happy.

The scene was full of boos, believing that Wang Shuang's goal should be expelled from the game.

Beverley was helped to the sideline for emergency treatment.

His brow bone was opened, and his face was bleeding.

Wang Shuang choked him on the elbow this time.

At least in this game, he didn't dare to shout at Wang Shuang anymore.

For the kind of player who likes to provoke.

Instead of having a "basketball showdown" with them.

It's better to give him a moment and let him increase his memory.

When Wang Shuang played halfway through the second quarter, he went to rest.

The Toyota Center was booed.

Of course, Wang Shuang didn't care.

He even bowed slightly to the audience.

Sitting on the bench, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to hand Wang Shuang a towel.

"Good job, boy."

Wang Shuang smiled, thinking that Lao Ke was also an elbow expert.

I've probably been thinking about Beverly for a long time.

It's just because of my status.

I'm sorry to elbow out.

Now it's okay, Wang Shuang directly dizzed his head.

Of course, Kobe Bryant had to hand over the towel to the little brother.

The impact of Wang Shuang's elbow is still very great.

Beverley later went through treatment and returned to the court.

But his brain was buzzing, and he never yelled at Wang Shuang again.

After all, Beverley is short in stature, and when it comes to fighting, who can he fight on the court?

He's like a gangster in Tianjin.

knew that the other party would not dare to make a dead move.

It's just to come and provoke and rip off.

But once you meet someone who dares to do it.

And he coaxed.

Wang Shuang was powerful and ruthless this time.

It may seem unintentional, but it is actually powerful.

The referee stared at the video for a long time and thought it was unintentional.

Only one technical foul was given and no ejection was made.

No more Beverly harassment.

Bryant returned to the court and played more freely.

He hit back-to-back shots in the second half of the second quarter.

Scored 11 points in one go.

Helped the Lakers 59-51 in the first half, leading the Rockets by 8 points.

"At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Rockets by eight points. The Lakers took the lead in the first half, with Bryant scoring a team-high 18 points. Wang Shuang scored 8 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. It should be said that the rhythm of the entire first half of the game was held by the Lakers, and the Rockets have been struggling to catch up. Howard's point, there is nothing too good to play, only Harden's point is playing. ”

The Rockets' performance in the first half was clearly not good enough.

Neither Howard nor Harden have been on the same page for a whole season.

; Both on and off the field.

There hasn't been much communication anymore.

The Rockets are undoubtedly going to keep Harden.

And the team's tactics will revolve entirely around Harden.

And it's only a matter of time before Howard leaves.

The Rockets took him in free agency three years ago.

Thought I had caught a big fish.

As a result, Howard is no longer the monster he used to be.

And the Rockets and Harden couldn't give him what he wanted.

At halftime, the Rockets locker room was silent.

A good atmosphere to reach the Western Conference finals last season.

It has already been ruined by the poor results of the season.

The second half of the game begins.

The Lakers hold an eight-point lead.

As soon as he came up, Kobe Bryant tried to shoot again with a pick-and-roll.

A pull-up jump shot from the left horn position.

The arc of the shot is quite high.

Wang Shuang knew that he couldn't shoot when he saw this ball.

There's something wrong with this arc, it's too high.

But the ball won't bounce too far.

Must be around the three-second zone, probably on the right.

Wang Shuang immediately drilled to the right basket.

Sure enough, the ball hit the basket and bounced to the right.

Wang Shuang jumped lightly and squeezed Motai Yunas away.

Took the frontcourt rebound.

It was his fifth frontcourt rebound of the game.

"Another frontcourt rebound, Wang Shuang's rebounding sense is really ...... Pass to the outside, Tony Allen's three-pointer! Didn't make ...... Such a large vacancy still can't be thrown. ”

Wang Shuang also wanted to grab frontcourt rebounds.

But this time Howard squeezed in front of him.

Howard grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

It's still hard to grab a frontcourt rebound from the Sparks.

Once there is a backcourt rebounding guarantee.

The rocket's counterattack came very quickly.

Harden received the ball and made a long pass to Ariza without passing the midfield.

Ariza hit a direct three-point shot from 45 degrees on the right side.

The NBA is now more and more of this kind of counter-attacking three-point shot.

This is simply unreasonable in the NBA in the past.

Fast-break counterattack and you actually threw a three-pointer?

Don't you go to the basket and go to the basket yet?

But that's what the NBA is like now.

If you have a chance to shoot a three-pointer, you must shoot.

Especially a team like the Rockets.

Practice the magic ball theory and pursue the maximization of scoring efficiency.

Abandon the least efficient mid-range jumper.

Only shoot three-pointers and attack the basket.

And, of course, there's the most efficient, unguarded free throw.

Compared with the "advanced" modern style of play of rockets.

The Lakers' tactical style of play looks rather old-fashioned.

Randolph and Kobe seem to be ancient relics left over from the previous era.

In the new era, there is no longer a boat that can carry them in the tide of three-point shots.

And Wang Shuang is not to mention.

His style of play is not from the previous era, but from the previous era.

But no matter what style of play, winning the game is the last word.

Wang Shuang responded in the high post, and another through ball was given to Randolph.

Randolph plays Motaiyunas in the low post.

The rocket insists on not wrapping the clip.

The result was a turnaround and a hook to score two points.

Motai Yunas has a height advantage.

But his defense in the low post is really not enough.

Of course, if the Rockets were replaced by Jones, they would only die worse.

In response, Motai Yunas turned around and hit Randolph in the low post.

Caused a foul on Randolph and stood at the free throw line.

Hit both free throws.

The Rockets have embarked on the path of modern basketball with the "magic ball".

However, because of the presence of Howard and Motai Yunas.

Their magic ball is not thorough enough.

There is also the afterglow of the old times.

Soon, though, that afterglow won't be in Houston for long.
