Chapter 234 Summer is going to do something!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench lineup. Kidd and Terry led the team on the Mavericks side, and Yao Ming led the team on the Rockets side. Without Dirk and Chandler, the Mavericks finally began to lose their firepower.
The Rockets came off the bench and made great achievements. First, Lowry scored two points with a breakthrough layup, and then Yao Ming turned on the crushing mode. No matter who the Mavs defended, it was useless. Point directly stopped the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are stuck in a quagmire. Although the substitute lineup is also capable of shooting, it is too weak compared to the starting lineup. Let's not talk about how old Peja is, let's talk about the inside.
Without Chandler, Yao Ming took three of the offensive rebounds alone, and without Marion's restraint, the Rockets couldn't find a chance to shoot at all!
Unable to open the inside and outside, this is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Mavericks, but fortunately, Terry's hand is not bad, and he scored four points in a row to stabilize the score.
37:34
The score was close to four points, so after the timeout ended, Adelman sent Xia Tian back to the field. As for why he only sent Xia Tian, it was not because of Xia Tian's 80-point performance.
In that game, Adelman discovered the potential of Xia Tian, this guy's physical strength is simply limitless!This kind of movement and tenacity Adelman had to think of the one in Los Angeles.
Since the Viper in Los Angeles can average 40 minutes per game, what's wrong with Xia Tian?So Harden continued to rest, and Xia Tian replaced Battier and returned to the court.
The Mavericks sent Chandler back. Compared with the older two Chandlers, they have rested long enough and can continue to fight.
With the ball possession of the Mavericks, Kidd started to play singles against Lowry. The Mavericks players also quickly made room to watch the team's big players play. Although Kidd doesn't like to attack, it doesn't mean that he can't attack!
Compared with Nash's non-defense, Kidd's subjective offensive desire is small. Unlike Nash, Nash is purely weak in defensive ability, but this cannot be blamed on Nash, after all, his physical fitness is there.
Kidd's offense is always simple. Compared with Nash's flamboyance, Kidd is a little more stable. Although he doesn't have the kind of eye-catching offense, he wins because of his high shooting percentage.
Cross-step dribbling, Kidd approached Lowry step by step, but Lowry did not retreat, just stood still and waited for Kidd's attack, Kidd watched Lowry's defense without dribbling and broke through with rhythm.
Standing against Lowry is a sudden, but how can Xiaogangpao's physical fitness be so easy to be pushed away?Almost at the moment of being pushed, Lowry's small hand... No, the big hand stretched out and slapped Kidd.
But how could Kidd, who has played for so many years, be picked up by Kidd? Kidd turned around almost when Lowry pulled out, and then Lowry took a few steps forward because of the problem of center of gravity. Germany is a CIC.
Although such a large open space is far away, the basketball entered the basket obediently, which made Kidd smile. Sure enough, rookies like to pick balls.
You said that Lowry's hands are longer and it's okay to take out the ball, but the arm span is not outstanding, it is only 193, and he still wants to take out the ball?If you said that you have the wingspan of Xia Tian, it's fine, but you don't. When you look down at Lowry, Kidd's heart is as calm as water.After all, this is a routine operation, it is impossible to make Kidd jump up excitedly!
The ball was exchanged, and the basketball returned to Lowry's hands. Faced with Kidd's humiliation, Lowry couldn't help but want to fight back. He settled at the top of the arc and came to pick and roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Lowry didn't pass the ball, and started to attack the basket with the ball. During this period, Dirk gave up his defense against Yao Ming and went back to the basket, but Lowry also didn't pass the ball, and jumped directly to rely on Chandler to play. Scored a goal.
"Awesome!" Xia Tian obviously wanted to complain about Lowry not passing the ball, but after Lowry scored a goal, he swallowed the words, and the mouth was just awesome.
After playing slowly for a few minutes, Dirk and Marion finally returned to the field, and Kidd also retired. 45:40, Kidd was able to hold the lead.
After Dirk and others came on the field, the Mavericks were revived again, because the scene of Yao Ming's end was simply one-sided!In just half a quarter, the Mavericks once again opened the score to nearly double digits.
I have to thank the Rockets for their soft hands. I don’t know why the whole team fell into a downturn after Harden came up. Under Harden’s organization, the Rockets sorted out the ball very well every time, and the open space was completely laid out. But this vacancy is life and death!
The only two goals were scored by Harden and Xia Yanshe!This has to make Adelman anxious. Although the last game was very difficult, at least the score has been leading, but this game can not lead the score, which makes people very uncomfortable.
By the end of halftime, the Mavericks had scored 55 points!The Rockets only scored 48 points, which can be regarded as the Rockets' most points in the half of the playoffs!After all, this is the first time the halftime ended with such a low score.
The atmosphere in the Rockets locker room became silent again, and no one spoke. It is undeniable that Dragic's departure still had some impact on them, because the Rockets had a much more difficult fight without a firepower point.
After all, although Dragic has poor defense, no one dares to give him a space!It's different when Battier is replaced. Although Battier defends well, he is not so stable in three-pointers, so there are basically open positions all the time. This time, it is Xia Tian and Harden.
"It's okay, it's only eight points, we still have half time! The victory must belong to us, so stop thinking about it! You know!" Adelman said standing in front of the players.
"Coach, is Dragic really not coming back?" Lowry asked on the side.
You must know that the relationship between Dragic and Lowry is still very good. Although Dragic complains that Lowry has robbed him of his position, these things are actually small things in Lowry's eyes. How can there be trouble among friends? Contradictory, right?
"Okay, don't think about Golan, we can play well without him! I'm going to let Yao Ming continue to lead the team in the second half of the game. You veterans will set an example for them, you know! Narrow the score as much as possible, when the time comes Harden, you and Xia Tian must control mistakes after playing, play more singles and pass less, and must ensure the hit rate, you know?" Adelman expressed his opinion.
But Xia Tian has a different opinion. Looking at Adelman Xia Tian, his eyes became serious, "Coach! Can this game make me crazy again?"
Xia Tian's words were very cold, even as a teammate, he felt the deep chill in those words, but Adelman frowned. After all, the playoffs are different from the regular season, let alone a strong defense. Can this kind of competition really guarantee physical strength?
"Xia, can you ensure your physical strength? And the Mavericks will not be careless because the score is wide. If you really play well, you will face endless double-teams. Then you will be able to continue to be stable." Goal?" Adelman directly raised his doubts.
Xia Tian pursed his lips and laughed, because he deeply knew that he was not alone!Does he still have teammates?As for double-teaming?Just clip it as long as you want, and if the teammates feel up to it, they will be able to crush the Mavericks!
"It's okay, coach, if they double-team me, I'd love it, so their defense will collapse! And Marion won't be here, this is a good opportunity! I want to try!" Xia Tian said solemnly .
Adelman began to think, and after a long time, Adelman sighed and patted Xia Tian on the shoulder, "That's up to you, but I'm still the same old saying, if the efficiency is too low, you must change your style of play! Or get ready to go."
"I see, coach!"
"Well, keep calm, you know."
After some conversations, the atmosphere of the Rockets began to warm up. With Xia Tian's guarantee, it seemed that the Rockets' players had already seen the panic-stricken appearance of the Mavericks.
