Chapter 663
The Rockets made a substitution, and Su Yang was reminded by assistant coach West at the same time, and immediately thought about how to deal with it.
"Guys! The Rockets put on a five-small lineup to try to make a final impact. Let's kill their last hope. We also put on a five-small lineup, and at the same time guard Harden. His physical strength has obviously declined seriously, forcing Te to make a mistake. , shooting the iron..."
Cousins and others nodded in agreement, and the whole team clasped hands shoulder to shoulder and yelled 123 kings, come on in unison.
The whistle for the end of the pause followed.
The game continued, and the central big screen showed the lineups of the two teams.
On the Rockets side, Paul, Harden, Gordon, Tucker, Ariza.
On the King's side, Curry, LaVine, George, Covington, Antetokounmpo.
The referee whistled and the Rockets kicked off from the backcourt.
There were bursts of defensive shouts in the arena, and Harden slowly dribbled the ball across the center line for a full 7 seconds, almost 8 seconds of violation.
George stopped at the top of the arc and was about to bend his knees and get into position when Ariza quickly ran up to put up a wall for cover.
Covington followed closely and decisively delayed the switch. Harden didn't hesitate, and forced his way into the paint with the defense on his shoulders.
Antetokounmpo decisively shrinks the defense, and Curry and LaVine also block the potential Rockets, but LaVine stands on the right waist and needs to take care of Tucker in the right corner and Gordon on the right. It is both a challenge and a trap.
Harden in the paint area faced front and rear pincers, suddenly jumped up with the ball, twisted to the right in the air, and obviously passed the ball.
The movement is also very fast, but Brother Antetokounmpo is tall and has long arms, so he instinctively fished it out, and with a click, the basketball fell to the ground under force.
LaVine immediately bent down to pick up the basketball, turned around to scan the running situation of the audience, and passed it to Curry, and the King launched a counterattack.
During the cheering period in the arena, the King continued to conduct on the outside, while the Rockets changed defenses infinitely, and their movements were extremely large, pushing people and pulling people. The referee seemed to be blind and didn't see it, let alone whistled. Chance to catch the ball.
After some struggle, Antetokounmpo rushed to the free throw line by himself, but Ariza dragged him to force the ball away, while Paul next to him picked up the basketball, took it quickly across the center line, and suddenly turned to the left. A large cross pass of the 45-degree three-point line.
Harden caught the ball and faced Antetokounmpo in a misplaced position. It was better to play small and big, but he didn't start it, and passed the ball back to the right wing.
Ariza was speechless when he received the ball, so he could only bite the bullet and rush forward. He really knocked LaVine away and scored a layup with difficulty.
The boos of the fans at the scene exploded immediately, three consecutive fouls were not whistled, and the "garbage referee" quickly rang through the arena.
Su Yang got up and clapped his hands to indicate that it didn't matter, and reminded by the way to separate the battlefield, don't give Rocket too much convenience to take advantage of it.
At this time, it doesn't matter what tactics to play, what matters is the direction and execution ability, after all, they are all exhausted.
Everyone in the king understood Su Yang's intentions in seconds, and soon the three left the team, leaving only Curry and Antetokounmpo on the right.
After a pick-and-roll, the situation turned into Curry facing Harden. Curry simply changed direction ahead of time, swayed Harden and went to the right to break through again. Antetokounmpo tacitly helped block Ariza, and Curry easily rushed to the Under the basket, he made an empty basket steadily.
"Just now when Harden squeezed through the screen, he raised his hand to push Giannis' waist, made that picture into an animation, and sent it to the league at that time, and at the same time sent it to Twitter and other platforms to put pressure on the league to seek a fair penalty, at least Don't be so obvious..."
Su Yang ordered casually, and the media staff sitting in the back row hurriedly wrote it down. It was a routine that had been used before.
Doing so will definitely embarrass the referees, and they will be easily targeted in subsequent games, but the more afraid they are, the more they will be arranged.
During the conversation, Harden singled out George, went to the paint area completely out of rhythm, and threw the ball to the right corner in a hurry.
Tucker received the ball and was forced to shoot a three-pointer. LaVine jumped up simultaneously, touched the basketball with his fingertips, and succeeded in a small block.
George picked up the rebound, the King launched a counterattack, and Curry suddenly accelerated and forced Harden on the center line, successfully attracting attention.
Antetokounmpo on the left saw that Ariza was distracted, and immediately started to cut to the baseline and went straight to the basket.Seeing this, Curry hit the ground and passed the ball at the same time. Antetokounmpo took it in his hand, took a big step, ignored Ariza's defense, jumped high, and dunked.
The basketball exploded into the net, and the Kings led 110 to 98, with 2 minutes and 28 seconds left, and the situation was very good.
On the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy said with a smile: "Harden is a little confused now. The serious loss of physical strength made his judgment seriously wrong. He may have mistakenly thought that Curry would wait for him to get ready before launching a breakthrough. His mistake caused the defense to collapse..."
Jackson nodded: "Yes, Curry made a breakthrough in one step, and the other Rockets players were not ready for rotation at all."
Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.
The Rockets' strategy is still that Harden dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and then found a cover to misplace Curry. The referee suddenly whistled and called a foul.
Boos broke out in the arena.
Curry took out his braces with a face full of helplessness, and shouted at the referee: "It was he who took the initiative to contact, it was he who took the initiative to contact..."
Su Yang looked up at the big screen, and the playback showed that Harden was holding the ball and hitting Curry's raised left hand, which was true.
"Arden, I'm very disappointed in you..."
Su Yang shook his head and curled his lips, thinking that Harden's personality really determines his destiny, and he will follow the old path if no one intervenes. That way of playing is to put his destiny in the hands of others. He obviously has superb skills and can become a generation of super giants, but he has to use it. Third-rate means.
The referee deliberated for a while, and decided to whistle a three-point foul, giving Harden three free throws, and the arena was booed everywhere.
Van Gundy laughed: "I don't know if Ha Register doesn't remember what he said in the interview before the game. This is my own verification."
Jackson also laughed: "He performed very well tonight and has scored 39 points. This free throw has greatly reduced the quality of his scoring."
During the conversation, Harden made the first free throw, hit the iron with the second free throw, and hit the third free throw. His personal score reached 41 points.
The game continues.
Su Yang casually reminded that he could lean towards the basket, because the Rockets don't have a serious center at the moment, and they are particularly fierce when they press the line.
The kings followed suit, starting with double screens on the right side, pretending to continue to arrange for Curry to single out Harden at the top of the arc, but in fact it turned into a triangle attack, letting Antetokounmpo pass the ball to George who sneaked to the right waist , and Antetokounmpo and Curry make cross screens again.
The moment the screen was formed, Tucker immediately switched to defending Curry, and Harden also followed Antetokounmpo, but not fast enough.
Seeing this, George lobbed the ball, and Antetokounmpo hurriedly took a big step, ignoring Paul's threat of shrinking, and dunked.
The Kings still lead by 12 points.
The Rockets seemed helpless.
1 minutes and 50 seconds left.
Harden took the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt in a blink of an eye, and then found a screen to play Curry, and suddenly stopped to shoot a three-pointer.
George and Curry rushed to interfere, the basketball clanged, and Harden habitually pretended to be hit.
The referee didn't whistle, and Harden's stare was useless. The King picked up the rebound, and Curry slowly dribbled the ball forward.
"Harden is also a person who knows how to be flexible and has the desire to win. He knows how to grab three points when he is so far behind, but the problem is that he is willing to try new things only in the current situation of being unable to recover. It's like who's making a fuss..."
Su Yang feels that Harden should find a psychological mentor. It is really difficult to change things like personality by himself.
While thinking about it, the basketball was passed to Brother Antetokounmpo, and he attacked Harden with his back. Without dribbling, he directly held the ball and started three steps.
Harden barely resisted, but couldn't stop it, subconsciously went to cut the ball, the thumper sounded, and the referee whistled for a foul.
There were cheers in the arena, Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line and hit two free throws in a row. The Kings led by 14 points.
With 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the game, the Rockets made a fast break, and Paul made a difficult mid-range shot, followed by foul tactics.
Su Yang removed Covington at the same time and replaced Thomas Jr., who made nearly 90% of his free throws, with multiple ball control options.
Penalties came and went, the Rockets rushed to shoot three-pointers twice, completely lost the theoretical reversal probability, and chose to give up.
The final whistle sounded, and the Kings defeated the Rockets 118 to 104, and the Western Conference Finals series scored 1 to 0.
In the whole game, five players from the Kings scored in double figures. George scored the highest 36 points. Curry was targeted more fiercely with only 18 points and 8 assists. On the Rockets side, Harden scored 41 points and 7 assists, and Paul scored 23 points. Points 7 assists, four in double figures.
ESPN reviewed the review and believed that the Rockets' loss was a strategic error. The magic ball caused them to abolish their martial arts. Once they made only 37 of 13 three-pointers like against the Kings, they could not win the game at all and wasted Paul's all-star strength.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey retweeted ESPN's evaluation tweet, emphasizing that he just failed to make a shot and had nothing to do with the magic ball strategy.
Many fans left messages and comments, expressing their distress for Paul, a master of middle distance, who made it into 3D abruptly.
