NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 16 opener, vs Houston Rockets (3)

After replacing Harden, Zheng Long also ended his singles.

Let the basketball spin among teammates!
Playing Harden in singles, what you want is to make Harden lose his mind on the offensive end!

At the same time, consume his physical strength as much as possible!
Of course, this is also a great exhaustion of my physical strength.

Moreover, you can't just score by yourself, let's score [-] points in a game to win.

The remainder of the first quarter.

Rocket here.

Even if Harden was not there, Williams, Anderson and others stepped forward one after another.

The Rockets, who have more experience overall, firmly hold the initiative in their own hands.

Fortunately, the Lakers players are extremely active defensively.

Especially Ingram's restrictions on Gordon.

"Hey! Ingram is good at blocking shots, and his defense is better than that of Xialian. He deserves to be the second place!"

Ingram, who successfully risked Gordon, followed suit.

Started to put on the first celebration of his NBA career.

He clenched his hands into fists, his arms clamped to his sides, his face flushed red, and he let out a loud roar!
This action successfully reminded Zheng Long of Ingram's toilet serial gun.

Now it's like I'm constipated and can't get it out.

What an ugly celebratory pose.

Of course, sometimes it is not necessarily the posture that is actually ugly.

The two teams were biting the score.

The first quarter is over.

Rockets 29: Lakers 28.

“郑龙第一节8投5中，砍下10分3助攻1篮板！”

"The first quarter of my career debut!"

"Perfect! Doesn't look like a rookie at all!"

"With this data, it has surpassed the career debuts of many stars!"

"Continue to maintain this state, Zheng Long is likely to make his debut in history!"

Zheng Long played a full quarter.

Sitting on the seat with the towel drooping.

far away.

A cold look shot over.

Zheng Long narrowed his eyes slightly.

Rockets player Beverly is standing on the sidelines, doing warm-up.

His eyes were tightly locked on his body.

The second quarter begins.

The two sides first replaced the rotation players.

Nick Yang went up and dropped a three-pointer, and danced excitedly.

In terms of available people, the thickness of the Lakers' lineup is really good.

Then there's Jordan Clarkson, who replaced Lou Williams in the tactical role last season.

As an offensive guard who was selected by the Lakers in 14 and trained by himself.

In his rookie season, Clarkson, who was selected 46th in the second round, was selected to the best rookie team in the 14-15 season.

Even so, this season he had to make concessions to Russell and became a substitute.

The Lakers management firmly believes that even Clarkson has been trained.

Russell, who is obviously more talented, must have a higher upper limit.

4 minutes passed.

The Lakers successfully overtook the score.

Rockets 36: Lakers 39.

D'Antoni couldn't sit still, the call was suspended, and the starting lineup was replaced. The adjustment was to replace Gordon with Beverly.

Russell and Randall also regained the chance to play.

8 minutes until halftime.

Can you get back to the locker room with the lead.

Will determine the team momentum in the second half!

Zheng Long returned to the position of shooting guard.

Beverly came over.

With a nasty smell.

*Patrick Beverly, 1 meters, point guard.

Nickname, "Mad Dog".

Beverly, who was suspended for cheating on her college thesis.

Once moved to Europe and played in the Ukrainian Second Division.

The 09nd pick in the second round of 42 was selected by the Lakers.

Then he was thrown to the Heat, and the Heat didn't sign him for the first time. Beverly could only continue to wander in Europe.

In 13, the Rockets signed him with a three-year basic salary contract.

Decentralized to the Development League.

Then the Rockets' starting point guard Jeremy Lin was injured.

Beverly ushered in the opportunity to take the top position, and gradually used his crazy professional attitude to secure the starting position.

It is worth mentioning that he also won the All-Star Skills Competition in the 14-15 season.

As a point guard, he has absolutely no problem handling the ball.

But what really made him stand in the league was his defense.

In the 13-14 season, he won the NBA All-Defensive Second Team.

At the position of point guard during the same period, Beverly's defensive data has always been among the top three.

his defense.

Not only nice, but dirty.

"Little sweetheart, congratulations, your injury seems to have recovered."

Beverly whispered in Zheng Long's ear.

Showing his buck teeth.

As soon as this title came out, Zheng Long felt sick.

"Why are you so indifferent? We were former teammates! Dear relatives and friends!"

Beverly couldn't seem to stop talking.

Zheng Long remained silent with a gloomy expression on his face.

The Rockets let Beverley, a point guard, defend himself exclusively.

Just use him to disgust yourself.

These words are also to distract oneself.

Seeing Zheng Long received the pass.

Beverly immediately stuck to it.

As a smart "defender", Beverley is good at walking on the edge of the rules.

Even avoiding the sight of the referee.

He kept reaching out his hand to harass Zheng Long.

Sometimes it's for the ball, sometimes it's for the arm!

After two rounds, Zheng Long's arm had already had a few bloodstains.

And successfully interfered with Zheng Long's shot.

He laughed!
"You're a rookie! Welcome to the NBA!"

Zheng Long showed a questioning expression with a serious face.

"Basketball is played by people, why would the Rockets send a dog to the court?"

"Damn kid! Be careful, I'll stick my foot out when you shoot, maybe you'll snap your Achilles tendon again!"

"Really? Come!"

Facing Beverly's defense, Zheng Long stood up and fought!
Beverly did not expect that Zheng Long would not be afraid of his "intimidation" at all!
Even forget about the jump defense.

In an instant, he fell into the hesitation of stepping on his feet!

I really came with a "task".

Swish!
Zheng Long sent the basketball into the basket and scored 2 points easily!
D'Antoni on the sidelines is always paying attention to the situation on the court.

Very dissatisfied with Beverly's "eye defense".

"Beverly! What are you in a daze for!"

Beverly's status in the Rockets is very special. D'Antoni knows that he is Morey's "dog",

In some key games, Morey will arrange for him to do something that should be done.

This also caused Beverly to often not listen to D'Antoni in the team.

As a dog, I like to rely on people's power.

"Stop arguing! I don't need you to teach me how to defend!"

Beverly, who was already annoyed, counterattacked D'Antoni on the sidelines.

D'Antoni gritted his teeth angrily!
The first half is over!
Zheng Long must admit that Beverly's restrictions on himself are in place.

It's like a gummy candy.

I can't get rid of it!

And his small defensive moves are easily irritating.

Wanting to catch the ball has become a stressful thing.

The rest of the Lakers took more shots.

As for the hit rate, it's a bit hard to say.

The Rockets' players are almost all at the mid-to-upper level in terms of defense.

James Harden doesn't seem to be waking up.

After playing in the second quarter, there were very few active shots.

But D'Antoni's magic ball tactics.

Perfectly fit the team lineup at this time.

The Rockets have bloomed in many places outside.

Scored several deadly three-pointers.

In the second quarter, Zheng Long took 7 shots and scored 8 points.

First show as a rookie.

Zheng Long was definitely proud of scoring 18 points in the first half.

but.

Rockets 57:50 Lakers.

The Rockets have overtaken the score, and the point difference is approaching double digits.

Zheng Long walked into the player tunnel with a cold face.

Rockets home fans happily swayed to the music at midfield.
