NBA: I can see real-time shooting percentage

Chapter 118

After the timeout, Rivers still took Qin Ming.

Because the Clippers' offense stopped a little at this time, Batum's point was not particularly helpful to the offense. He just stood in the bottom corner and waited for his teammates to deal cards, and he would not go up to organize.

He doesn't like to pick and roll, and many times it is not inevitable, he will not take the initiative to pick and roll.

Instead of letting him be singled out continuously, it is better to take Qin Ming.

At least Qin Ming can also bring positive offensive effects to the team.

As soon as Qin Ming came on stage, Covington found him.

In this game, Covington was given such a mission, which was to pester Qin Ming and prevent him from scoring easily.

Either you take Qin Ming down and wait to fight with me as a substitute, or you will be locked up by Covington honestly.

It's time for Qin Ming to make his own response.

In the next round, Morris committed three fouls. With 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Rivers replaced Morris and Harrell played.

The role of Harrell's coming up is to beat the Rockets' small lineup, and by the way, let Qin Ming get the space for the pick-and-roll.

Sure enough, Harrell caused a qualitative change as soon as he came up.

In these 2 minutes, Qin Ming played an excellent performance with the help of Harrell's pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll, the Rockets still switched defenses infinitely. After getting rid of Covington, Qin Ming found that he had such a large space for the first time.

He is facing PJ Tucker, and Tucker is not good at defending small guards.

Qin Ming took a step back and bowed to Buddha to shake him, then headed towards the inside line to kill.

McClemo was in charge of assisting the defense. He ran up quickly, and Qin Ming's ball had already been passed.

Paul George on the outside received a very comfortable pass.

A three-pointer was scored.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams basically played back and forth, and the Rockets' offense continued. What was different from the previous two games was that they played very resolutely in the face of dislocation in this game.

Basically, whoever faces Harrell, Batum, and Qin Ming will fight without hesitation.

Then when facing Lu Wei, they will continue to attack.

At this time, Westbrook's explosion tonight and Eric Gordon's magical performance tonight have shown excellent results in these few singles.

The two of them shared Harden's singles, which also allowed Harden to have more physical strength to defend Leonard and put cold arrows in several singles.

After the second quarter, the Clippers were still eight points behind.

As the halftime ended, the Clippers players returned to the arena from the locker room.

At halftime, D'Antoni was interviewed.

"You guys played very well in the first half of this game. You basically succeeded in singles against Qin Ming. How did you tell your players?"

"Qin Ming is a very good player, but his height means that he is not good at defense. So we seized this point, which is the only weakness of this Clippers team. We did a good job tonight. I hope we can find such an opportunity in the future."

D'Antoni is telling the coaches all over the world that facing Qin Ming, beating him is over.

In the third quarter, Qin Ming started the game.

When he was on the court, he heard his teammates say this.

He smiled, with an angry expression on his face.

So in the third quarter, Harden of the Rockets once again played singles with the ball on the outside, facing Paul George, but this time he missed a three-pointer.

It's the Clippers' turn to show.

Qin Ming held the ball from the outside and faced Covington. He dribbled the ball under his crotch, looking for Covington's front and rear feet, waiting for the perfect opportunity for him to break through.

At this time, Harrell came up to pick and roll.

Qin Ming went down, and broke through towards the inside at a leisurely pace.

He can't be fast, if it is fast, Harrell can't keep up.

So the remaining defender of the Rockets didn't know whether to defend Qin Ming or Harrell for a while.

Harden likes to play like this best.

In the first few rounds of the third quarter, the Clippers' offense was like this. After Rivers played Harrell, the Rockets' situation became more difficult. The only one they could match up with Harrell was Tucker. There was no benefit on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, they actually failed to gain much.

So after 2 minutes of fierce battle, D'Antoni found that Harrell really couldn't bear it, and the Rockets' offense was not very good, so he took Tucker and Chandler.

When taking Chandler, Rivers also took Zubac.

The two sides finally put on their normal lineups.

But it's not very normal, both sides are one big and four small, and the two insiders don't have much space.

Their biggest role is to pick and roll, and then eat cakes depending on the situation.

But Chandler's pie is easier than Zubac's.

He has two guards who are most capable of feeding cakes. Harden's breakthrough is too much of a threat to the Clippers. After Leonard faces the pick-and-roll, Zubac is completely unable to defend. Harden has punished Zubac twice on the outside.

So Leonard decided to grab it, and Harden's golf quotient was too high. When he found Leonard grabbed it, he broke through decisively, and then slowly entered the penalty area, waiting for Chandler to come in.

Chandler hits another hook.

The Clippers need a response.

Qin Ming, who had a good touch, stood up again.

In these three rounds, he also showed his super high basketball IQ, as well as his terrifying offensive talent.

Facing Covington, he pretended to use the pick-and-roll and then directly changed direction to throw off Covington. The moment Westbrook wanted to come up to help defend, he passed it out. Leonard who received the ball this time, Leonard made a three-pointer and made an accurate hit.

To put it simply, Rivers doesn't need Gemini to do a lot of things in this series. All they have to do is defend and keep defending.

Because the threat of James Harden is much greater than that of Doncic, as long as they do their defense well, they can easily win the Rockets.

Including facing the Lakers later, Rivers also requested the same.

Leonard no longer needs to prove himself, he is the best player in the league, he can focus on defense and offense, but what everyone in this team wants now is a championship, not empty data or other things.

If Leonard can win a championship this year, his historical status will rise to another level.

The Rockets still take turns to attack Harden and Westbrook. Both of them are very efficient tonight, especially Westbrook, who has now scored 22 points.

Westbrook once again shot from inside and outside. With the help of the ball after the pick-and-roll, these three technical skills made the Clippers unable to parry for a while. Rivers took Mann at this time, and he was here to release Westbrook.
