Chapter 175 New Core VS Former Chips
Although they were tied, the fans of the Kings' home stadium, the Sleep Train Arena, did not seem disappointed. They experienced more than 60 losses last season, and they have already practiced flattery. If there is anything they are worried about, That could be that the team's youngsters haven't grown up, or have been hit by injuries.
"Director Zhang, how do you evaluate the Rockets' offensive climax?" Sun Zhengping asked.
Director Zhang replied: "I still play patiently and rationally, and the offensive effect will come out. If there is Yao Ming, Yao Ming can contain two to three defensive players of the opponent under the basket, so that other Rockets players can get easy open shots. ; Yao Ming is not here, it is difficult to play high, if you want to win the game, you need to work hard on some details. Small guards should not be chaotic, stick to the combination of sudden points, and the score will catch up!"
Pause back, the game continues.
In the third quarter of the game, although the Rockets had the advantage, the Kings were also very tenacious and kept biting the score to prevent the opponent from opening the score. So at the end of the third quarter, the visiting team only led by 3 points.
谢开第3节手感依然没有找到，10投2中，罚球8罚全中，得到12分8个篮板7次助攻2个抢断1次盖帽。
"Director Zhang, do you think it's possible for the Kings to get back the score in the last quarter?" Sun Zhengping asked.
Director Zhang nodded and said, "It's possible to play tough and play reasonably. The Rockets don't have Yao Ming, they don't have high points inside, and they don't have much advantage in rebounding and blocking shots. Now everyone is competing for outside shooting percentage. Whoever can persevere until the end is most likely to win!"
The tense final quarter started soon.
The Kings got the ball first, and Udry dribbled the ball across half court.
The two sides are still competing in the second team. The difference is that the Rockets will not have two point guards. Ariza has been staying on the court. It seems that he is likely to play the fourth quarter.
The Rockets have been criticized before by coach Adelman for killing the main players. Obviously, in order to win, increasing the playing time of the main players is a very effective method.But the problem is that it also increases the risk of injury for players.Ariza is young, but with such use, even Iron Man may not be able to stand it.
For the Kings, Udri missed a mid-range jumper!
Landry grabbed the backcourt rebound and the Rockets attacked.
Lowry dribbles to the frontcourt and gives the ball to Landry in the waist.
Landry forced Kenny Thomas, and there was no emergency stop jumper!
Joan Brockman took the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai came over with the ball and gave it to Udri at the top of the arc!
Udri used the cover to go to the right and opened the bottom corner.
Xie Kai made a false shot, but Ariza was not fooled. He walked to the bottom line with the ball and scored Joan Brockman at the basket.
Joan Brockman catches the ball and forcefully attacks the frame. The ball spins twice around the hoop and comes out again...
But Joan Brockman was very tough and hit the ball with one palm!
The fans of the home team at the scene applauded the outstanding performance of the team's rookie!
Udri at the top of the arc got the ball and organized the attack again.
"This Joan Brockman is a rookie this year. Director Zhang, what do you think of this rookie's performance?" Sun Zhengping asked.
Director Zhang said: "I played very tough, with momentum, but the touch was still poor. I couldn't score such a good opportunity."
With the help of cover, Xie Kai came out from the bottom corner!
Udri's pass is delivered quickly.
Xie Kai received the ball without any hesitation, and at a 45-degree position on the right wing, he made a 3-point shot...
Ariza, who defended Xie Kai, didn't rush too hard. First, he was afraid of fouling, and second, Xie Kai hadn't made a 3-pointer in this game yet!
Unexpectedly, the ball hit the board and went into the frame!
There were screams from the fans at the scene. You must know that a 3-pointer hits the board and enters the frame.But they are happy to see the home team players have more "shit luck", this kind of ball is really cool to watch.
The point difference quickly narrowed to only 2 points left! The effect of chasing points with 3-pointers is really remarkable!
Adelman did not call a timeout, and he did not think there was any problem with Ariza's defense.This goal should be attributed more to Xie Kai's luck.
Xie Kai's shooting came to 11 of 3 shots. Although it is still poor, it seems to have a rising trend.At present, he has scored 15 points. It can be seen that in the difficult situation of the team's offense, as one of the few players in the team with the ability to attack independently, he still has ample offensive opportunities.
Director Zhang explained: "Look, I said that as long as you keep shooting, the ball will definitely hit! If you want to become a superstar like Kobe, you must have self-confidence!"
The Rockets attacked, Lowry dribbled the ball and gave it to Ariza on the left wing.
Facing Xie Kai, Ariza used the cover to walk in the middle, and then divided Budinger on the right.
Budinger didn't get a shot, and then broke through the bottom line and then divided the top of the arc to Lowry.
Lowry also scored suddenly, and the ball finally reached Ariza's hands again.
At this time, the offensive time is running out, and Ariza needs to end the battle in singles.As the new core of the team, he has always been placed with unlimited expectations by the team, hoping that he, who is similar in size to McGrady, can become the successor of the former.
Amidst the booing of the Kings fans at the scene, Ariza faced Xie Kai, holding the ball and cross-dribbling under his crotch, looking for an offensive opportunity.Unexpectedly, at this time, the latter suddenly pressed forward!
Ariza was a little unexpected, his footsteps were a little messy, but fortunately he stabilized the rhythm, and immediately turned his back to protect the ball to avoid being dropped by the opponent.
There is not much time left in the attack, it is impossible for Ariza to sit and play from the 3-point line with his back to Xie Kai all the time.I saw him blocking with his left hand, holding the ball with his right, and rushing towards the middle.
Xie Kai's defense is also very targeted, he doesn't attack easily, locks down the plate, and confronts.In fact, both of them are thin. Ariza really has no advantage against the opponent, a Chinese player.
Under Xie Kai's persecution, Ariza felt a little distorted in his movements. Suddenly, accidentally, he found that the ball in his hand was missing...
Xie Kai saw the opportunity to start, and Ariza was cut off!
The ball was intercepted at the top of the arc, and those who were waiting for the offensive side could only watch the opponent's "offside attack" in the frontcourt 1-on-0.
Ariza hasn't recovered yet, Xie Kai has already run several meters...
The players on the Rockets' bench seemed to have eaten a mouthful of feces, watching helplessly as the team's new core was broken in the conversation with the second-year rookie who was traded away by the team that year!
Seeing Xie Kai's stretched flying dunk in the frontcourt, one can imagine how bad the mood of the few Rockets fans in the stands was.
