Chapter 167 It's You Who Hit!
The next Rockets team struggled very much, and Harden's proud porcelain touching technique couldn't be used at all when it met Lei Lei, and he was very aggrieved.
On the Lakers' side, it was a different scene, Lei Lei limited the Rockets' leading stars, and the other players played very well.
Howard smashed the Yellow Dragon on the inside, Yi Jianlian always completed mid-range shots, Brown played wonderful performances from time to time to add a touch of brilliance to his debut, and Clarkson frequently delivered wonderful assists.
The first quarter is over
The score of both teams is
25:38
The Lakers directly pulled the score to 13 points.
D'Antoni shouted at Harden during the quarter break, "James, were you scared by that rookie?" Today you didn't play at the level you should have, it's not your normal level! Play your own style and play games that you are proud of! Don't be so depressed! ”
"The team needs you now! You should come and save your team like a savior! Don't be submissive on the offensive end! ”
Harden nodded when he heard the coach's words and said, "Don't worry, coach, I won't do this again in the second quarter." ”
On the Lakers' side, it is obviously different, although Howard is no longer a happy beast now, but he is happier when the game is good and happy, especially when he abuses the Rockets!
Scott encouraged the players and said: "Guys, you guys did a very good job, just play like this, they can't beat us, now we are not the Lakers we used to be, we are no longer a team that anyone can pinch it in, we need to officially announce to the whole league that our Lakers have completed the rebuild, and they are already a team that can attack the championship!" ”
"We have to slap them in the face and let them know how wrong and how ignorant our Lakers are!"
The Lakers players all nodded, they know the strength of their team, one inside and one outside, and this year they also chose a forward with great potential, this year's strength can be said to have improved a lot, up a ladder.
The break passed quickly, and the second quarter began.
The Rockets replaced Capela with Nene and Brewer replaced Anderson, and the rest of the personnel did not change.
On the Lakers' side, Howard was rested, Yi Jianlian was promoted to center, Buss replaced Howard on the court, and Lowe replaced Brown on the court.
Lei Lei came to the small forward position, this lineup is not tall, but the height of the Rockets' lineup is not high.
Harden came to the frontcourt with the ball and became especially confident in the face of Loewe's defense.
After dribbling under the hip to open up space, the 45° wing is two points long and steps back to shoot from beyond the three-point line.
'Brush-'
Harden stepped back and hit a three-pointer to hit the first of the second quarter for both teams.
28:38
There are 10 points left between the two sides.
Lei Lei said to Lu Wei: "You let him into the penalty area, and I will help you defend behind you." ”
Lowe nodded when he heard the words of the team boss, indicating that he understood.
He ate the ball to the front court, facing Harden's defense, he was waiting for Yi Jianlian's block, and he immediately rushed to the inside line at the moment of blocking.
Nene gave up the defense of Yi Jianlian and made up for it.
Lu Wei did not rush to shoot in the face of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back, but focused on sharing the Yi Jian team near the free throw line.
He took a deep breath to adjust when he received the pass, and took a mid-range shot from the open spot.
'Brush-'
Hit the two-pointer solidly.
28:40
Conversion of possession.
Harden came to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll with Nene in a pick-and-roll match, Gordon kept running on the sidelines, and Clarkson followed closely behind, listening carefully to his advice during the break and not giving Gordon any open shots.
When Harden was about to hit the restricted area with a pick-and-roll, Lei Lei's supplementary defense appeared, and Lu Wei switched defenses with him.
This time he planned to challenge Lei Lei's defense, and Europe stepped to the basket to shake Lei Lei.
'Bang-'
'Brush-'
The high board goes up the ball.
30:40
This ball Lei Lei defended very well, the ball crossed his fingertips, and it was just a few hundred million points away from changing the landing point of the ball, but it was only a little bit.
Harden shouted at Lei Lei: "Come on! Come again! I don't believe you can defend me all the time! ”
He sneered at the sound of Harden's shouting.
The Staples Arena audience at the scene also heard Harden's shouts and said:
"Harden! Ray will pluck your beard dry! ”
"This is Los Angeles, not where you should be wild!"
"Thunder, blow him up!
Let him know that you are awesome! ”
Kobe Bryant smiled at Nicholson on the sidelines and said, "It's coming, it's coming!" ”
Nicholson is a big fan of the Lakers, and he certainly knows what Lei Lei's smile means.
Only Gigi looked confused, not knowing what the two were talking about, Jenna shouted on the side: "You Bichi!" My man can kick your ass! ”
Because Harden broke up with her sister, she doesn't treat Harden as a family member now.
Lu Wei came to the front court with the ball, and consciously handed the ball to Lei Lei, and the two of them blocked and dismantled hand-to-hand, and switched Harden to him.
Lei Lei did not make three threats when he received the pass, but made a crotch dribble action, and said to Harden: "Bearded, you don't know who you are when you score a ball?" Do you really think you're a superstar? Without your eldest brother and second brother, you won't even be able to touch the floor of the West Duel! ”
Harden taunted Lei Lei: "Anyway, I've touched the floor of the West Final, have you touched it?" Oh, yes, yes, you didn't hug Kobe's thigh, because the team's ball is concentrated in your hands, and you are your Los Angeles ball bully! ”
"Lao Tzu is a ball bully, aren't you? Lao Tzu can play without the ball, can you? Little trash! ”
After saying that, Lei Lei used the crossover to disappear in front of Harden's eyes, and threw the ball to the basket from mid-range near the free throw line.
'Brush-'
The picturesque action finally played out at Staples Arena.
"Ray!
! ”
"Ray!
! ”
"Ray!
! ”
The fans at the scene shouted Lei Lei's name loudly.
When Lei Lei returned to the defense, he stretched out his arm to the floor, and there was a distance between his hand and the floor, as if to say that you are in this place, and I am far from it.
Harden received the serve and came to the frontcourt with the ball, and took the initiative to look for Lei Lei's defense.
He looked very confident in the face of Lei Lei's defense, completely without the feeling of timidity in the first quarter, calmly dribbling quickly, and the sheep outfit wanted to break through, which was actually a step-back jumper.
After a series of movements, he shot confidently.
"Day n immortal plank! What I'm waiting for is for you to shoot! ”
'Smack-'
Lei Lei jumped high and slapped the shot into the audience with a volleyball cap.
Harden, who was in place, widened his eyes, how could he reach the distance between the two of them?
I saw the big screen replay this block, Lei Lei was deceived by Harden and quickly made his feet, jumped one step in front of Harden, and used his arm span and bounce to shoot to complete the block!
Be neat and tidy!
