Chapter 207 No-fly zone
Xu Tian threw the ball to the basket and passed it to Josh who rose into the air.
Howard once again showed a strong defensive ability, quickly replenishing the defense in place, interfering with Josh's dunk.
Xu Tian and Josh's alley-oop cooperation failed.
Tyson Chandler was unguarded and easily got the offensive rebound. Facing Howard, who came back from defense again, he wanted to block the dunk strongly.
Howard gritted his back molars, jumped with all his strength, and hit the ball caught by Tyson Chandler head-on with his right hand, blocking it.
Ariza was right in the path of the ball, reached out to catch the ball, and passed it to Harden at the top of the key.
Harden didn't dare to compete with the Lakers in speed, dribbled the ball slowly across half court, and played a pick-and-roll with Terrence Jones.
Xu Tian bypassed Terrence Jones' weak screen and chased Harden from behind.
Howard realized that something was wrong, and quickly moved to the inside to remedy the possible offensive miss.
Josh's delay made Harden habitually look up and shoot.
The referee did not blow his whistle.
Xu Tian touched the basketball with his fingertips, causing it to change direction and hit the back edge of the basket.
Howard took off violently, blocked the flying basketball with both hands across Tyson Chandler in front of him, and finished the attack with a powerful dunk with both hands.
6-11!
Tyson Chandler didn't expect that there would be someone behind him, and he staggered a few steps uncontrollably after enduring intense physical confrontation, and didn't stop until he hit the post under the basket.
The referee finally blew his whistle for Tyson Chandler's blocked foul, giving Howard an extra chance.
Tyson Chandler spread his hands and looked at the referee, walked over to communicate in a low voice, indicating that he hadn't fouled just now.
The referee briefly explained that Tyson Chandler violated Howard's cylinder and should have been called a defensive foul.
Kobe pulled back Tyson Chandler, who was still trying to explain, and asked him to stand to the right of the free throw line, ready to grab the rebound.
It was not the first time that D'Angelo Russell had fought against Xu Tian, but the current Xu Tian was quite different from his impression, which not only surprised him, but also brought him a strong sense of oppression.
Xu Tian put away his middle finger and index finger, bumped his hands back and forth, and used tactical gestures to tell Kobe to play singles.
Kobe saw Xu Tian's gesture and immediately understood the tactics for the next few rounds. He stood on the right side of the top of the arc and watched Howard make free throws.
There are many free throws in the league, and most of them are muscular centers. The most famous ones are probably Howard of the Rockets, Jordan of the Clippers and Drummond of the Pistons.Only these three people will be frequently sent to the free throw line by opponents.
Howard lived up to expectations and missed an extra penalty.
Tyson Chandler was brave after knowing his shame, defended the rebound toughly, and handed the ball to Xu Tian habitually.
Xu Tian didn't stop the ball, and Kobe on the right side of the ball was running forward.
Howard was making a free throw just now, and he didn't see the tactical gesture made by Xu Tian, but he saw that Kobe was singled at the top of the arc, and he roughly guessed the Lakers' tactics.
Harden was in charge of defending Kobe, was shaken by continuous fake moves, and quickly lost his defensive position.
Kobe accelerated with the ball and once again attacked the penalty area guarded by Howard.
The last scene Howard wanted to recall in his career was Kobe's dunk on him. That photo really embarrassed him.Thinking about it now, there are still endless resentments.
Kobe lost his peak bounce and failed to complete the dunk. Instead, Howard blocked the temporary layup.
Harden was a blessing in disguise, easily picked up the defensive rebound, and quickly pushed the counterattack.
Ariza ran forward on the left side, received a long pass from Harden, and wanted to complete a dunk.
Josh followed closely behind, slamming out where Ariza didn't expect, vigorously fanning the ball in his hand out of the baseline.
Mike Breen said: "Warcraft certainly has its own no-fly zone, but if you want to dunk in the Lakers halfcourt, you have to ask Josh Smith if he agrees."
"Josh and Dwight are both very tough, and they both performed very well on the defensive end." McGrady can see the technical statistics, "but Dwight has blocked three shots, which is obviously better."
"Three blocks?"
"That's right!"
"What a beast!" Mike Brin couldn't help but sigh.
The Rockets frontcourt baseline ball.
Terrence Jones stands next to the referee with the ball, waiting to catch the ball.
The referee determined the positions of the players and passed the ball to Terrence Jones, who then distributed it to his teammates on the court.
Terrence Jones held the ball with both hands high, watching his teammates move while looking for opportunities to serve.
Using his strong upper body and Howard's screen, Harden forced his way out of space and caught the serve from Terrence Jones before a five-second serve violation.
George thought Harden would shoot directly, and flew in mid-air to defend, completely becoming a living target.
Harden leaned forward to make a shot and fell to the floor.
The goal is scored at the whistle, 2+1!
Ariza and D'Angelo Russell rushed to Harden and pulled him off the floor.
Harden is a master of foul making, and free throws are his foundation. There is no problem with adding penalties, and he hits steadily!
9-11!
Bickerstaff was very satisfied with the players' ability to adjust, and sat back comfortably on the coach's bench to watch the game quietly.If there are no setbacks, he wants to wait for the official timeout before deploying new tactics.
On the way to retreat, Howard repeated the trash talk to Kobe in a mocking tone, "Soft, Try me?"
Kobe gave Howard a fierce look in his eyes, dribbled the ball across the half court silently, and continued to play singles at the top of the arc.
Howard spread his arms, feeling the rare lively atmosphere in the Toyota Center Arena, as if instantly returning to his peak years, waiting for the breakthrough Kobe to come to him.
Kobe once again passed Harden, who was defending with eyes, tried his best to take off, and dunked with one arm through Howard who was defending.
clang!
The basketball hit the back edge of the rim, rebounded quickly, and went straight to the midfield.
The referee whistled and whistled Howard for a defensive foul.
Kobe landed smoothly, pointed his right index finger at Howard, and said the same words back then, "I know you, dog!"
Howard's anger hung on his face, and he stood angrily to the left of the free throw line without saying a word.
Kobe continued to take deep breaths to calm down his emotions, shot with the movements he had maintained for more than 20 years, and hit two free throws steadily.
13-9!
Harden received the serve, quickly dribbled the ball across half court, and went straight to the basket without slowing down.
Harden exposed the ball on the way to the breakthrough, luring Josh, who was helping to defend.
Josh was not as smart as Xu Tian, couldn't help but cut the ball, and fell into Harden's trap.
Harden's hands are like two iron tongs, firmly grasping the basketball in the middle, without being shaken at all.Josh's arm that cut the ball was guided by Harden to his own arm and became a foul-making prop.
The referee blew the whistle and Josh was fouled by the thug.
Josh put his head in his hands, jumped to the referee, and repeatedly emphasized that he did not foul.
Harden is used to being frustrated with defensive players, and he stands calmly on the free throw line, ready to execute free throws.
