They really wanted to win, and they knew that today's game would be difficult, but they didn't expect that the final game would be so exciting. Not to mention the fans, as players, they all felt very nervous and exciting.

Yao Ming and Quan Xiao were listening to the tactics laid out by the coaching staff while drinking sports drinks and taking the time to replenish their energy. This game was very draining because they both wanted to win, to end their losing streak and get back on the road to winning.

Overtime started soon. The Rockets sent out a lineup of Yao Ming, Scola, Battier, Quan Xiao and Alston. The Nuggets remained their starting lineup.

Hip-pulling.

As for Scola, well, you can't expect him to grab many rebounds. What he is good at is scoring, and his rebounding ability is average. As for Hayes and Landry, they are limited by their height and their rebounding ability is also limited.

For Quan Xiao, small players like Iverson are the most difficult to defend because they are very fast and flexible and can be escaped by the opponent if they are not careful.

When the defensive end was weak, he made up for it on the offensive end! When the Rockets were attacking, Quan Xiao used his impact to knock Atkins away and rushed into the Nuggets' basket. He was rude to Camby who was covering the defense.

It was a one-man dunk, which not only made Camby a backdrop, but also caused him to foul and get an extra penalty opportunity.

This goal greatly affected the momentum of the Nuggets and was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the Rockets. At this level, Quan Xiao can still deliver such a powerful dunk. It can only be said that people envy his physical fitness.

and talent.

Free throws are not difficult for Quan Xiao. So far, Quan Xiao has only missed one free throw at the free throw line, which is terrifyingly stable. Therefore, for him, free throws are a matter of giving away points, no matter how the opposing fans interfere.

strength.

Iverson continued to rush into the Rockets' restricted area desperately, while Quan Xiao gritted his teeth and followed closely.

Although he is more than 20 centimeters taller than Iverson, he can barely keep up with the speed. People have to envy his talent.

Of course, firstly, Quan Xiao is still young and has good physical strength and recovers quickly. Secondly, naturally, it is because of Iverson’s inevitable decline as he gets older, coupled with the impact of injuries, which allows Quan Xiao to improve in speed. Don't fall behind.

There was no chance, Quan Xiao followed closely, and under his cover, Iverson had no room to take action. If he forced the shot, there was a high possibility that Quan Xiao would block the shot.

After using two consecutive fake moves, Iverson still failed to get rid of Quan Xiao. Iverson changed his strategy. He pretended to attack and got a fleeting opportunity, and then took advantage of this opportunity to transfer the ball to Anthony.

After Anthony received the ball, he didn't make too many adjustments. Time was very tight and he made a crucial shot against Battier's blind defense. This ball lived up to the expectations of the Nuggets' home fans, and he got in obediently. The basket.

After serving the ball, Yao Ming pulled to the free throw line, Hyde and Battier were in the two corners respectively, and Smith cut to the basket.

Quan Xiao controlled the ball and wasted time. When he saw the last 3 seconds on the timer from the corner of his eye, he tried to break through. Yao Ming pulled him up to block someone, and a space suddenly appeared. Quan Xiao didn't hesitate at all.
