NBA: God-level selection

Barkley’s remarks are not mocking the Lakers, but just stating a fact, and also emphasizing the importance of Meng Chen to the team before, which is also a key factor for the team to win 8 consecutive victories.

The original Rockets’ defensive players need to read whether Meng Chen is shooting or breaking, and this 50 guess will cause confusion among defenders.

Now.

Knowing Meng Chen’s three-point shortcoming, the rocket defender, 100 stared at Meng Chen’s breakthrough, and bit the breakthrough to death, regardless of the others, then… Even if Meng Chen had an explosive breakthrough like Iverson, it would not work.

Meng Chen was limited to this, the role players could not continue to stand up, the team did not score steadily and did not continue to explode.

“The Lakers are in danger!”

Pause back.

The Rockets continue the previous gambling defense against Meng Chen, oh no, it should now be said to be aimed at defense, which is almost the same as using foul tricks on the “big shark” O’Neal who has no solution.

Meng Chen was suppressed again.

Three points can’t shoot, the breakthrough is not as sharp as before, although he can get points, but the efficiency is not high at all, which is not the way Meng Chen wants to score.

So……

Meng Chen chooses to pass the ball more, knowing that the attack is not going well, Meng Chen will trust his teammates more than blindly fight in a “lone wolf” way.

But.

As the team’s dependency, after Meng Chen was muted, the competitive state of the entire Lakers also declined, coupled with the gradually reduced enthusiasm of home fans.

Kuzma, Ingram, Pope and Lopez were not as explosive as they were in the first quarter.

Kuzma can still score three-pointers, but his shooting percentage is reduced, and Ingram can also score, but the turnovers are significantly more and the shooting is not consistent enough.

The Rockets’ defense contracted, Lopez’s most uncomfortable point under the basket, facing Capela’s defense, and assisting the defense from time to time, under double pressure, almost failed to score.

After Meng Chen’s downturn, the team seems to have suddenly dropped to the trough and returned to the Lakers state at the beginning of the season.

Look at rockets, on the other hand.

In a wave of 8-0 counterattacks, the confidence was completely recovered, and with it, there was a sense and the due heritage and means of the strong team.

Chris Paul, who once had the titles of “Queen Bee”, “King Boat”, “CP3”, and “the league’s No. 1 point guard”, although the speed and explosiveness are not back then, but the ball quotient who reads the whole court is still online.

First, a long pass from the top of the left arc crossed Pope and Kuzma, just right to Harden who rushed to the bottom corner on the right side.

“Snap!”

The catch is a three-pointer, a solid hit.

Harden’s hand is also warming up.

Paul took advantage of the victory to pursue, find the pocket again, and hit again.

Harden hit two three-pointers, driving the atmosphere of the team, the Rockets countered the horn, no.

Gordon made a fake shot and broke through the basket to complete the score, and Paul immediately connected with Capela in the air on the counterattack, assisting the latter to complete the open dunk.

The Rockets blossomed more and bloomed in an all-round way, reversing the slump in the first quarter and playing the league’s No. 1 offense.

To say that the only player in the Rockets who does not open, or only the sad Ariza, although Meng Chen is restricted on the offensive end, but 2.08 meters tall, extremely good physical talent, there is no difficulty in defending Ariza.

But nevertheless.

The Rockets are still chasing points frantically in this section.

Lakers (60) :(56) Rockets.

With the final 44 left in the second quarter, the Rockets recovered 16 points in the second quarter, narrowing the huge 20-point gap to just 4 in a single quarter, and still having the ball in possession at the moment.

The Rockets are ready to grab a bite to give the team one more offensive opportunity before halftime.

Harden quickly advanced with the ball, facing Kuzma’s defense, directly hitting the basket without slowing down, staring at Kuzma, Ingram and the defensive layup of Lopez under the basket.

“Beep—beep!”

Sound the whistle.

Harden caused Kuzma’s hitman foul.

“Bearded” Harden, a foul-making adult, rushes up to defend, which is a very difficult thing, basically if you can’t score, it will cause a foul.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Harden, who shot nearly 90% from the free throw line this season, hit a solid 2 free throws.

The difference is only 2 points.

There are 36 seconds left, and even if the Lakers play 24, the Rockets have 12 seconds left, which is enough to complete a normal offense.

Lakers ball.

Although Meng Chen was restricted, the team still trusted, the team’s offensive core still fell on him, Meng Chen controlled the ball to the top of the arc in the middle, compressed time, and pressed the Rockets to the least amount of time to attack.

Meng Chen holds the ball.

Ariza still stood within the three-point line, directly putting Meng Chen a distance of more than one meter, no defense, no bag, just put Meng Chen such a large vacant position.

The rocket knew that Meng Chen did not dare to shoot, and knew that Meng Chen could not shoot, so he strangled this.

If you have the ability, you will throw yourself in.

24 offensive time, there are only 5 seconds left in the blink of an eye, teammates failed to run out of the open position, did not have a good passing opportunity, Meng Chen suddenly held the ball, shot himself, and shot a three-pointer.

“Wow, Meng Chen actually chose to make his own move? This is his first three-point shot this evening, and it is also a three-point shot under great pressure, he… Can I get in?! ”

Barkley exclaimed.

O’Neill’s eyes widened and stared at the basketball spinning in the air, and the spectators and fans on the court, as well as the substitutes and coaches of the two teams, stared at the basketball spinning in the air.

Can I get in?!

Everyone was expecting, but the next moment.

“Bang!”

The shrill sound of iron striking made the home fans feel extremely disappointed, and they sighed.

Such an excellent big vacancy, Meng Chen not only failed to invest, but also deceived a little outrageously, it seems that Meng Chen really does not have three points.

Rebound.

Capela grabbed it, straight at Paul, and with the last 13 seconds of attacking time, he didn’t rush to push the speed, took it to the front court, and pressed the time until the last minute.

Facing Pope’s defense, he shot a long-range 3-pointer.

“Bang!”

This ball strikes iron.

The lights come on and halftime is over.

The rally from the league’s first place, the 20-point pit in a single quarter, chased Sheng Sheng to just 2 points. _
