Chapter 964 Clippers VS Rockets
The Celtics easily pushed off the Bulls, and then there was a game in the West.
After the Clippers' tie-break with the Spurs, their physical strength will be a big problem.
After all, the rest time is very limited. It can be said that after only a day or so of rest, the game must be continued as soon as possible.
For them, if it's the regular season, they can let it go and let themselves rest, but in the playoffs, especially now, it's impossible to rest.
In short, in one sentence, who prevents you from pushing others away and getting a lot of rest time?
As for the Rockets who will play against them tonight, the first round is considered easy.
But they have a very nasty habit of pulling the brakes in the fourth quarter, or even the second half.
For this kind of thing, no matter how they adjust it, it doesn't matter.
It's not that the players can't do it, the coaching staff can't do it, it feels like a strange trap is wrapped around the head, and if you want to break free, it gets tighter and tighter.
But since this season has reached the present, it is meaningless to say anything.
You can only see the real chapter on the field.
soon.
Because of the record, this game will be played at the home court of the Rockets.
It is said that when the Clippers arrived in Houston, everyone felt a little tired.
Especially the team's three main players, Paul, Griffin and Jordan.
After their seven-game battle with the Spurs, it is true that they have exhausted a lot of physical strength and energy.
I have struggled for so many years, and my experience and competitive status are still there. Otherwise, if I come to Houston, I am afraid that I will be directly hacked to death by the local media.
soon.
With the hustle and bustle of the Toyota Center, players from the two teams also left the player tunnel.
The cheers soaring to the sky show that the Rockets have operated successfully this season.
As for the idiot who will talk nonsense in the future, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to watch the match and show his face in this game.
It's just that this idiot's current mood is extremely unhappy.
Because before the start of the game, during the impromptu interview session of the reporters, many people sprinkled salt on his wounds.
They brought up Qin Tao again, which was indeed his eternal pain.
He wanted to expose it in a few words, but those reporters just didn't let him go.
Nothing.
All he could do was compliment him with a half-smile, and that was how he barely got rid of this trouble.
at this time.
Looking at the team players who were talking and laughing on the field, Darrell Morey couldn't help but become YY.
If Qin Tao was still on the Rockets, it would be very easy to win the championship.
Even if he heard Qin Tao's name and saw his game, he would become angry from embarrassment, but when he was alone, he couldn't help but think so.
Qin Tao's strength is like a demon king descending from the sky. There are few people who can effectively restrain him, even under the defense of the team. As long as Qin Tao wants, no one can stop his footsteps.
For such a phenomenal player, no one will ignore it, including Qin Tao's opposite!
And when some executives got together, Morey actually had a bad time.
He might have been the butt of jokes in these people's mouths as early as when Qin Tao left the Rockets.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Rockets' record has been on the rise for the past two years, I'm afraid those idiots would not have concealed their ridicule long ago.
soon.
Under Morey's heartache, the game is finally about to start.
warm up.
Appearance ceremony.
The main players of both sides began to appear.
The Clippers are the visiting team, and their starting list will be given immediately.
The center will not change, Jordan will play.
With him on the inside, at least the defense is guaranteed.
of course.
Howard, who is playing against him, is a powerful master, it depends on how he fights.
The power forward is Griffin.
His impact and brutal style of play will bring huge damage to the Rockets' interior.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ability of the little prince Terrence Jones and his performance in tough battles will not cause too much trouble for Griffin.
Still have to rely on Howard to control the inside.
Barnes at small forward is also a trouble for the Rockets.
They want to win this game, so Trevor Ariza can't completely regard himself as a defender, but also needs to get some points for the team under the defense of Barnes.
Redick on the shooting guard, it can be said that once the state is found and he can continue to show off outside the three-point line, Harden will not be able to put much pressure on him.
Because Harden has never been a defender.
As for Paul on the point guard, it depends on whether Beverly will go crazy in the first place.
Therefore, regardless of the fact that the Rockets are playing at home, it is not an easy task to gnaw at the Clippers' hard bone, even if the opponent's physical strength is still problematic.
jump ball!
Howard and Jordan Jr. are definitely one of the best insiders in the league.
Their jumping height is great for a center, and their wingspan makes them evenly matched.
But Howard, who has better jump ball skills, got the ball for the home team.
Beverly received the ball and advanced, came to the frontcourt and handed it to Harden.
Harden organized it, and Howard made an inside move.
This tactic has worked, and it's worked really well this season.
Harden is facing Redick, who is not considered a defender, making Harden's offense look aggressive.
Fake action.
Shake your shoulders.
Adjust the center of gravity.
Step back.
Harden's set has long been his famous stunt, including retreating three-pointers.
When it was the Clippers' turn to attack, Paul yelled with the ball, and they all ran to the frontcourt.
If they looked exhausted when they arrived in Houston, it's astonishing to watch them now.
They didn't look any different, and they still walked vigorously when they ran, and there were no physical problems.
And the pick-and-roll tactics they are good at immediately posed a threat to the Rockets.
When they defended the pick-and-roll, they were really almost meaningless. The lack of coordination among the players made Jordan and Griffin's double-line fast, and there was only one Howard inside.
Jordan rushed into the penalty area, and Griffin rushed directly from the side.
Howard immediately blocked Griffin, who was more capable of finishing, and Paul's pass was immediately handed over to Jordan.
The expected dunk came as promised. If Jordan can't get this kind of ball, then he doesn't have to hang around in the Clippers.
The two teams played very smoothly at the beginning, and neither side looked stronger, giving people a feeling of being evenly matched.
in the stands.
A smile finally appeared on Darrell Morey's face, but within two seconds of relaxation, a fan not far away, wearing Qin Tao's number jersey with the Rockets at that time, stood up and compared him fiercely. A middle finger!
FUCK!
Mo Lei felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. If it wasn't for his status, he would definitely go back!
