Chapter 668 Houston Is In Trouble (Add More)
The King was able to overtake the Rockets with a wave of impact. Cousins has contributed a lot. He scored two low-post storms, one pass after being double-teamed, another attacking basket dunk, and two frontal defenses against the Rockets' core players. full.
Su Yang also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that finally in the Western Conference finals series, Cousins plays a key performance, so that Cousins does not look like a useless existence, which is very important for Cousins' self-confidence , It will also make the Kings team more confident.
After thinking about it, the timeout ended and the game continued.
The Rockets arranged for Gordon to replace Tucker, clearly to strengthen the offense with the ball and share the pressure on Harden and Paul.
Su Yang thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no need to make simultaneous adjustments for the time being, just replace George later and rest.
Between the two teams coming and going, as Harden made another three-pointer, there were 5 minutes and 58 seconds left in the third quarter.
George jumped high to grab the rebound, Curry caught the ball and pushed forward, crossing the center line and looking for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
LaVine ran over with Harden, covering first and then dismantling. Curry faced Harden, but Harden didn't get close at the first time.
Seeing the emergence of a super large shooting space, Curry still took off with the ball even though he was still two steps away from the three-point line.
Harden hurriedly jumped and flew, but Curry's three-pointer rhythm was too fast, the basketball was not affected at all, and he went into the net hollowly.
The boos came to an abrupt end, and the fans seemed to have a premonition that the situation was not good, and the popcorn in their hands suddenly became stale.
In the ESPN live broadcast seat, Van Gundy shook his head and sighed: "Curry made 8 of 3 shots in the first half, and only scored 8 points and 1 assist. It was completely ignored just now..."
Jackson continued: "Apart from ignorance and Harden's poor defensive habits, I think there is another problem that Harden played as many as 21 minutes and 27 seconds in the half, and took as many as 17 shots. He was physically exhausted. He came back in the third quarter. Another consecutive shot hit the iron..."
During the conversation, Paul and Ariza made a SLIP pick and roll at 45 degrees on the right, but Ariza made a mistake in catching the ball and rushing to the basket.
No way, Ariza's function is defense + three-pointers, and the simple and difficult rush to the basket, it is difficult to score if someone is defending.
The two teams switched offense and defense. Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, used the cover to find a misplacement, and faced Capela who was on defense. Pull the ball back and shoot a 45-degree three-pointer.
The basketball flew past Capela's fingertips at the limit, gliding far away with horrified eyes all over the field, and slammed into the net with a thud.
Two three-pointers in a row!
Su Yang took the lead in standing up and cheering, and everyone on the King's bench shouted and celebrated, while the Rockets fans at the scene felt dark clouds shrouded.
The Rockets hastily requested a timeout.
Discussions on Twitter and other social media exploded, and fans frantically played memes, calling out: Houston, we are in trouble!
The fans lamented that the Kings can play too many players. It was Cousins just now, and now it is Curry. The Kings seem to be able to recover points no matter how they fall behind. The key point is that Su Yang’s strategy is too terrifying. Thinking of beating Cousins suddenly.
Some fans also lamented that the King's game was not exciting at all, because Su Yang always made preparations in advance, formulated various plans to deal with potential changes, and made full use of the opponent's various weaknesses. If you don't watch the game carefully, you will feel very boring. .
There are also fans who feel sorry for Capela. In fact, Capela defended very well, but Curry's three-pointer is too abnormal.
Between discussions, the floor pause ended.
Gordon came on to replace Capela.
The Rockets have completely entered the five-point rhythm, and the reason is quite obvious. Capela cannot be allowed to become Curry's scoring machine.
Seeing Rocket's challenge, Su Yang immediately turned his mouth into a chuckle, thinking that he was in a daze, and he was going to give it for nothing.
In normal times, the Rockets' five juniors can rely on mobility to make up for their height disadvantage, but this time the seven players rotate, can they run?
The whistle sounded to continue the game.
The Rockets made a free throw attack, double-screened at the top of the frontcourt arc, and connected with the left weak side handoff. Gordon took the pass from Harden and went all the way to the right 45 degrees. , Take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the ball to take three strong steps, relying on your body to force you.
However, LaVine's confrontation was okay. The basketball rebounded and smashed the basket and hit the iron. Antetokounmpo jumped high to get the rebound, turned around and advanced.
The Kings skillfully played one high and four low positions in the frontcourt. Curry started from the short corner on the left. With the help of the ladder cover formed by Cousins and George, he ran across the baseline for an 'Iverson crosscut' and rushed in with the right wing position. LaVine, each other off the ball cross screen.
Curry took the opportunity to rush to the right wing, raised his hand to receive the pass from Antetokounmpo, and then moved to the top of the arc, while George led Harden to the top of the arc at the same time, setting up a wall to block Gordon to form a back screen.Seeing this, Curry started to break through to the right, facing Harden who switched defenses at 45 degrees.
One step breakthrough!
The king's pace is too fast, Curry starts fast, and Harden is too heavy to move laterally, which is really powerless.
Seeing Curry break through, the Rockets' weak side hurriedly made up defenses and rotated, but Curry patiently passed the ball 45 degrees to the left.
Antetokounmpo received the ball openly, thought for a moment and didn't make a shot, but Curry went straight to the left corner, then used LaVine to cover, raised his hand to receive the pass from Antetokounmpo, and raised his hand to face Tucker who was flying to defend. It was a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net with a bang.
The entire Toyota Center suddenly fell into dead silence.
The cheers from the King's bench were particularly loud.
In the ESPN live broadcast seat, Van Gundy was stunned for a while, and smiled: "I guess the Rockets fans were not shocked by Curry's three-pointer in a row, but shocked that the Kings' offensive rhythm was as fast as lightning, so many screens, so many moves, Curry Running from the short corner on the left to the right wing, turning to the top of the arc, turning to the right 45 degrees, then entering the paint, and finally returning to the left bottom corner, it can be said to run more than one lap around the half court, but the total is only In 18 seconds, the Rockets' defensive formation completely collapsed, and they didn't know how to defend at all."
Jackson shrugged: "To be honest, I thought it was Giannis who shot a wide-open three-pointer. It's too confusing."
The host Mike Breen answered: "What shocked me even more was that Giannis chose to give up the shot in a wide open position, and he wanted to create opportunities for Curry to perform well. You must know that in the finals last year, he was determined to compete for FMVP, a ball like the Kings. The team culture is difficult for other teams to replicate, and Su Yang has made great contributions as a coach and owner, and the $[-] million luxury tax shocked the entire league."
On the king's bench, Su Yang put his hands on his hips, thinking: If Nima wins this game, I will definitely be said to be led by Curry to win. I may understand why Cole agreed to the request of the Warriors management. Arrange for Curry to pick and roll for Wiseman.
While thinking about it, the Rockets played a pick-and-roll on the left wing.
Harden easily broke through to get a wide open, but it may be because of the magic ball thinking, he missed the mid-range shot, but made a long pass to the right.
The pass can be passed back, and Paul, who received the ball, did not get an open space. After some tossing, he carried LaVine in the middle distance and took off to make a mid-range shot.
The basketball slammed into the net, and the cheers of the fans erupted, but who would have thought that the basketball would spin around and come out of the frame.
Sighs suddenly resounded throughout the audience.
The King got the rebound and launched a counterattack. Curry dribbled the ball to the left, used the cover to meet Harden, changed hands and shook three times at will, started suddenly and walked to the left to break through, passing Harden like crossing the road, fast Rush to the basket and score with ease.
Curry scored 11 points in a row and performed amazingly, but the cheers from the King's bench were not so passionate, they were hoarse.
The Rockets turned their heads to attack, and Paul finally singled out and hit a three-pointer, successfully breaking the scoring drought and biting the situation.
The third quarter ended quickly, and the Kings overtook the Rockets 82 to 70, and the situation was very good.
George returned to the bench and clapped excitedly to celebrate. The atmosphere was completely different from the low mood at the end of halftime.
Seeing this, Su Yang reminded with a smile: "Guys, don't get too excited about the climax. The game is not over yet. If we encounter the whistleblowing standards in the second quarter again, we may get into trouble again. Keep a calm mind and continue to destroy their strength." resistance!"
