Chapter 401 401 Crazy beard, fatal temptation!
"Oh my God!
Is this still the same chaotic Rockets team? "
"In this state, any team will be hammered, right?"
When the Blazers paused, the TNT Big Three were a little taken aback.
Not to mention the Rockets' terrible shooting percentage today, but their execution and determination today are really historical!
If the Blazers can't figure out a way to target the pick-and-roll against Morden, let alone this one, they are in danger in this series!
74 wins, not to mention the Finals, not even the Western Conference Finals!
It's really crazy.
"Don't forget, the Rockets are still sitting on the bench with Lawson and Josh!
The test for the pioneers may have just begun! "
Listening to O'Neill's words, the other two giants nodded in agreement.
The Rockets have accepted doubts for a whole season this season. Their lineup is historically strong, but they have not achieved a matching record.
But unexpectedly, at this critical moment of life and death, they found the most suitable style of play for them, and even faintly showed signs of smashing the league's number one pioneer!
In front of the TV, those Rockets fans were going crazy.
Although they also know that the Rockets' crazy touch will not last a whole game, they are delighted by the Rockets' changes.
To maintain this state, the Blazers, maybe it's not impossible!
Back from the timeout, the Blazers made adjustments, replacing Richardson with Jerebko.
Zhou Si went to the second position to guard against Harden.
However, the effect is not very obvious.
Because, the Rockets also made substitutions!
They replaced Tucker with Josh.
Then changed from the Morden pick-and-roll to the Mojo pick-and-roll.
Howard and Josh have been friends for many years, and the tacit understanding between the two is better than that of Morden.
Although Josh's outside shooting is not as good as Harden's, Jerebko and McGee still can't restrain them.
The Rockets have too many players who can attack with the ball. The key is that they can really stand up and take responsibility.
That's scary!
On the sidelines, Coach Stotts frowned rarely.
D'Antoni is hanging up today, right? Today's adjustment is really historic.
This step is too accurate.
And the Rockets played really selflessly today, even Harden is not greedy for offense and possession of the ball.
On the defensive end, the Rockets are also everyone vying for the lead. Harden's previous defensive eyes completely disappeared, and he even stole Zhou Si's goal with a backhand!
This is the scariest place!
However, this also has a disadvantage:
The start is so crazy, as long as one of the physical strength or spirit can't hold on later, it will collapse!
After halftime, the Rockets were all soldiers and scored 59 points.
On the Trail Blazers side, Zhou Si's hand feeling was mediocre today. He only scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half.
Under his leadership, the Blazers scored 51 points.
51: 59!
Although the Rockets didn't lead much, it was enough to show how strong the Rockets are today after forcing Zhou Si to play the first half of the season for the first time!
At the end of halftime, the Rockets players received cheers like heroes when they left the court.
This night, they have fulfilled half of their commitment:
Defend the space city!
During the intermission, Coach Stotts and Coach Campbell communicated for a long time but failed to find a way to break the Rockets' offense.
The overall strength of each member of the Rockets team is really strong. The poor record before was just because they didn't find their way. Now that they have found their "way", there is really no good way to deal with it for a while.
During the intermission, Director Zhang concluded with some concern:
"Let's see if the Blazers can make a change in the second half and stop the Rockets' offense.
If it can't be controlled, this round of the series might be extremely anxious. "
On the Blazers side, Zhou Si didn't make too many suggestions.
The Blazers played too little against the wind this season, so Zhou Si was not too worried when he saw the Rockets playing aggressively.
One is that he has confidence in himself and his teammates, and another reason is that letting the Rockets become the sharpening stone is beneficial and harmless to their playoff journey!
It is good to have a smooth journey, but it is easy to collapse directly when encountering big setbacks. It is also good to torture teammates with some small setbacks.
In the second half, Coach Stotts did not arrange special tactics, but let the players play steadily and wait for the Rockets to make mistakes!
In the third quarter, the Rockets' momentum was still very strong, leading by 15 points at one point.
But at this time, the Trail Blazers showed their strong resilience and gradually reduced the point difference!
The Rockets played with a gust of qi, and at the last moment their qi was a little vented!
At the critical moment of the last quarter, Zhou Si showed his dominance:
One hit and three hits from the inside, the ultimate pull-bar layup to tie the score!
At this time, the air at the Toyota Center site condensed instantly!
After working hard for the whole game, are you going to be overturned at the last moment?
In times of crisis, the Rockets need a savior!
That's when Harden stepped forward!
A cold-blooded three-pointer and a layup after an air-cut confrontation helped the Rockets stabilize the situation.
As Zhou Si hit a drifting three-pointer to complete the overtake, the atmosphere in the Toyota Center Arena once again dropped to freezing point!
This man was sent by God to punish them!
They have already spelled it like this, can't they be merciful for a while?
Seeing that the game was about to lose, Harden stood up again.
At the last moment, he dribbled the ball to the front court, and confidently changed directions continuously against the defense to complete a mid-range lore with a step-back step!
103: 104!
Relying on Harden's lore, the Rockets finally defended their home court with difficulty, rewriting the big score to 1:2!
The Toyota Center Arena is completely boiling!
Zhou Si looked at the crazy Rockets players and the audience and shook his head with a wry smile.
Unexpectedly, they really withstood it.
At the last moment, Harden already has the inside flavor of a full body and killing the Quartet in the future.
"The last few seconds of the game, we didn't call a timeout.
I'm just looking for the best shot when I'm dribbling the ball down the court.
Zhou was very tight on my left side, so I decided to attack with the routine I usually practice.
A lot of players get nervous when dealing with the winning ball, but I was the opposite, and I performed better under the pressure. "
Harden, who was interviewed by reporters after the game, felt quite proud of his horseshoe!
The feeling of winning under such strong pressure is really cool!
"Our performance in the first two losses was mediocre, but in the third game back at home, I had to stand up.
We have made changes in this game, determined the system, and clarified responsibilities!
We are one.
We can only win if everyone works together! "
Harden, who won the game, praised the team for a while!
Howard, who scored a large double-double with 28 points and 17 rebounds, expressed that he was not satisfied at all:
"The next game we have to play as the seventh game!
We didn't go into the playoffs to win the next game, we wanted to win the series. "
What he didn't know was that while he was being interviewed, Harden received a text message:
"Sexy bearded man, you are so handsome tonight, we are waiting for you at the old place!"
