Chapter 211 End of the first quarter
Malicious foul made two free throws and the Rockets continued to attack.
Motiejunas served the ball to D'Angelo Russell, and the No. [-] pick who hadn't touched the ball for half a day led the half court and organized the offense with the dribble.
Satisfied with the player's performance, Morey continued to watch the game with a smile on his face.
D'Angelo Russell dribbles laterally at the top of the arc, calling for Capela's pick-and-roll.
Capela's movement speed is really good among centers, and he quickly came to the top of the arc and played a pick-and-roll with D'Angelo Russell.
Thackeray's athletic ability was mediocre, and he couldn't defend against it, which immediately caused a huge flaw in the Lakers' defense.
Although Xu Tian has a strong defensive ability, he can't defend against two offensive players at the same time. He can only stay between the two who are breaking through and going down, trying to defend.
D'Angelo Russell throws the ball high, it seems outrageous!
Capela took off from the right side down, caught the basketball with both hands, and dunked directly through Thackeray!
BOOM!
31-29!
The Rockets took the lead for the second time.
The Toyota Center Arena was rarely alive, wantonly cheering for the home team.In their eyes, there is nothing happier than the home team leading. If there is, it is that the hated visiting team is behind. The further happiness is that Xu Tian, the public enemy of Houston, has not performed outstandingly for a while.
Xu Tian held the ball across half court and slowly came to the top of the arc.Just when everyone thought he was going to organize an attack, the CVT was activated, piercing the heart of the Rockets' defense like a sharp knife.
Capela had a premonition of how Xu Tian would finish the attack, and ran out of the penalty area, trying to block the block without fear of death.
Some people are unstoppable!
Pull up the mountain with unparalleled energy!
Capela's momentum weakened, and he withdrew his outstretched right hand in the air, letting Xu Tian complete a dunk with his right tomahawk!
31-31!
1 minute left in the first quarter!
Beverly came to catch the ball near the bottom line and asked puzzledly: "Clint, why didn't you block the traitor? You shouldn't be afraid, you should block him on the floor."
Capela muttered: "His body fat rate is only 3.6%, and he is very strong."
Beverly was so angry that he stopped listening to Capela's nagging, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and stood at the top of the arc to observe the Lakers' defensive arrangement.
The Lakers did not form a defensive system. Everyone defended their opponents alone and used point-to-point defense.
Beverley snapped and passed the ball to D'Angelo Russell on the right.
D'Angelo Russell had a clear mind, dribbled inside, came to the free throw line, and threw the ball to the basket.
Thackeray missed Capela and gave him a chance to take off easily.
Come here, feed your son cakes!
33-31, 48 seconds!
Xu Tian handed the ball to Huertas, ran to the frontcourt without the ball, took advantage of the situation and stood at the left corner, pulling away Beverly's defense.
Beverly tried to collide with Xu Tian, but every time he was hit by that steel-like muscle, he gradually developed fear and dared not fight against his body easily.
Huertas dribbled the ball gorgeously, broke through D'Angelo Russell with a bit of aura, and passed the ball to Thackeray who was standing inside.
Thackeray catches the ball and turns around, trying to complete a two-handed dunk!
Capela took off on the spot, turned into King Kong II, and blocked Thackeray's dream with a big hat.
Corey Brewer successfully stole the chicken, got a defensive rebound, blew the offensive horn of the cavalry company, and stepped forward to counterattack at a speed of [-].
Xu Tian was once again held by Beverly's arm beside him, unable to start up at all, and could only watch Corey Brewer take off in the frontcourt.
clang!
Buckle up!
TJ Warren got a defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Huertas, and Brazil Nash pushed a fast break counterattack.
D'Angelo Russell took advantage of Huertas' unpreparedness, stabbed out diagonally, and used physical confrontation to complete the steal.
Capela hadn't completely retreated to the backcourt. Seeing Russell complete the steal, he ran forward with his head buried.
D'Angelo Russell made a quarterback-style long pass to Capela in the frontcourt to assist him in the alley-oop.
Bomb the rim!
35-31, 12 seconds!
Xu Tian called a timeout!
Director Zhang couldn't help but said: "It's very unreasonable for the Lakers to play like this! Obviously Xu Tian is on the court, and you are chaotic there, and you don't know how to give the ball to Xu Tian. This is completely harmful to the team."
Wang Meng said: "It's not possible, and the point difference between the two sides has not widened. If the Lakers can score the offense after returning from a timeout, then the two teams are still on the same starting line, and the Lakers will undoubtedly have the upper hand."
"That's right." Director Zhang continued, "George and Kobe will definitely lead the team in the first half of the second quarter. Even if you have Harden and Howard, you may not necessarily be able to taste the sweetness."
"Director Zhang, do you think the Lakers can score in this offense after a timeout?"
"Let me tell you," Director Zhang said bluntly, "The Lakers don't want to play that fancy cooperation, just treat this as the last moment and let Xu Tian let go of his hands and feet to attack with the ball. If it is really implemented in this way, there is more than [-]% certainty Can score; if Leng wants to cooperate, there is probably more than half of the chance of failure."
Scott had the same idea as Director Zhang, and both mentioned that Xu Tian should treat this attack as the last attack and let go of his hands and feet to launch.
After Xu Tian adjusted his breathing, he took the lead and walked back to the court.
After both players stepped onto the court, the referee gave the ball to TJ Warren and asked him to serve.
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, and under the cover of Clarkson, he ran to TJ Warren and took the serve from him.
The countdown watch clearly shows the attack time.
6 seconds!
Xu Tian dribbled the ball and changed direction, tricked Beverly's defensive attention, and made great strides to break through the penalty area guarded by Capela and Motiejunas.
Capela, Ariza, Motiejunas, and Beverly all focused their defensive attention on Xu Tian, trying to combine the strength of the four to block Xu Tian, who has top shooting ability.
Seeing the basketball flying towards him, TJ Warren couldn't help trembling with excitement. He caught the ball without making adjustments and shot an open three-pointer.
As soon as the basketball flew out of TJ Warren's hands, the red lights around the backboard came on.
Hollow into the network!
The referee did not make a valid gesture for a goal.
Three referees came to the sidelines four times to watch replays to determine whether TJ Warren's three-pointer had just timed out.
The basketball slowly flew out of TJ Warren's hands, and almost immediately, the lights around the backboard came on.After repeatedly watching the slow motion of the ball being released several times, the final result was finally determined.
The referee blows the whistle and the goal is awarded.
34-35, the end of the first quarter!
The Lakers are temporarily behind the Rockets by 11 points!
The players sitting on the benches of both sides got up one after another, and after high-fiving the players who worked hard in the second half of the first quarter, they gave up the most comfortable seats so that the players could rest.
Bickerstaff didn't expect the Rockets to still be ahead, and with a little surprise, he simply drew a few tactics.
Xu Tian put on his warm-up suit, covered his knees with three layers of towels, and listened to Scott's tactics while wiping his sweat with the fourth towel.
