Chapter 1320 The Rockets Win

The Rockets and the Warriors collided, and with the words of last season, they are old enemies.

And because of the similar styles, they almost never escape the result of being compared.

But the one being compared has always been the Rockets.

After all, they have offense, but compared with the Warriors, it is only the core scoring ability.

of course.

Other free agents can't be ignored either. At least the role players of the two teams don't seem to be too well-known, but they all have personal characteristics.

at the moment.

The third game between them is about to start. Will the Rockets make a big splash at their home court, or will the Warriors be able to push straight in three games?

It showed a little sign when jumping the ball.

Howard's face was sullen, and he looked unhappy, with a trace of the stability of an adult.

Bogut was much more relaxed, and he didn't forget to grin with Howard, and even wanted to tease him.

But seeing Howard wasn't particularly comfortable, Bogut shrugged.

jump ball.

Howard worked hard and got the ball neatly.

Patrick Beverley took the ball forward and handed the ball to Harden in the frontcourt.

This is already an unwritten rule. As for the so-called internal and external disputes, after the end of this season, they may part ways.

Howard's contract has expired, and he has no idea of ​​​​renewing his contract with the Rockets.

This is also his helplessness.

If you are two or three years younger, let alone Harden, no matter who comes, you have to give way. You are the cornerstone of the team.

But now it is different from the past, coupled with the league's inclination towards offense and the changes in the team's tactics, his positioning is a little awkward.

But he who can change someone, still has the ability, as long as it is used properly, it is still good.

With that being said, back to the game.

Harden is the absolute core of the team at this stage, and others with the ball will open up the space.

Facing Klay Thompson in front of him, Harden looked very serious.

The two are old rivals, they have fought countless times, and they almost know each other well.

at the moment.

Thompson confronted directly, trying to limit Harden's breakthrough rhythm.

But being able to grow into one of the strongest shooting guards in the league today, Harden is by no means easy to deal with.

Then I saw him start suddenly, another change of direction in front of his body, shaking Thompson's center of gravity, pretending to rush inside!
But under Thompson's knowingly retreating, Harden quickly took a step back, raised his hand and hit a long-range two-pointer!

have to say.

Harden's unique skills, of course, are known to guards all over the league, but it is extremely difficult to defend.

What's more, the current league hasn't issued rules because of his touch. It can be said that as long as he takes a step back, if you dare to touch me, it will be a foul.

Nothing.

Easy to fight again.

The Warriors are Curry and Thompson.

Harden's defense is well known, Thompson only needs a continuous shake, and with the help of his teammates' cover, he can pull up a jumper!
Goal in, tie.

But under a harmonious confrontation, the Rockets gradually started to play.

With Howard and Trevor Ariza on the inside and outside as the main defense, plus Patrick Beverley, the Rockets' balance is really good.

The feeling and state of the Warriors came a little later, making them very seldom able to compete with the Rockets in the next first quarter.

in this way.

After they finished the first quarter, the Rockets scored 31 points, while the Warriors only had [-] points.

have to say.

Except for Harden's aim is strong enough, the defense of others is really strong.

If it's just Harden breaking out, the Warriors' scoring ability will have to fight back every minute.

Hello Toyota Center fans!
When did the matchup between the Rockets and the Warriors go so far?
It's really a feeling of elation.

The same is true for the Rockets. The players all looked high-spirited, and even Howard had a smile on his face.

Also.

This place has always been a place that pays attention to performance, as long as you fight well, that ass will laugh.

however.

The Rockets, who had just gained a [-]-point advantage, were overwhelmed by the Warriors from the beginning of the second quarter to the end of the entire quarter!
The state of the Warriors comes as they say, and the offensive end is unsolvable, which brings a huge challenge to the Rockets!

Although the Rockets scored 24 points in the end, the Warriors scored [-] points.

Although there is still a point difference between the two sides, this is the signal of the Warriors, you may be killed at any time!
When it comes to the end, the Rockets can be said to be careful every step of the way, for fear that the Warriors will suddenly swallow them alive.

Anyway, Harden took the lead to resist.

He scored eight points alone, plus four and five points from Motel and Howard, and some small points from others, and scored 23 points in a single quarter.

The Warriors were suppressed offensive momentum and only scored 24 points.

Three quarters are over.

The point difference between the two sides has always been swinging around five points.

As long as the Rockets can withstand the last quarter, then the game is considered a win.

But the fourth quarter was really thrilling!
If it weren't for Harden's [-]-point score in a single quarter, several other players would add up to [-] points. Under the Warriors' attack, they would have almost lost the game.

Especially the shot in the final stage.

Under the double-teaming of Curry and Thompson, Harden abruptly relied on a pick-and-roll from his teammates to make a mid-range shot in the last two seconds!
In less than a second, the Warriors couldn't hit anything, and they could only score 96:97 in the end. Unfortunately, they were beaten by the Rockets at the Toyota Center!
after the game.

All fingers point to the Rockets.

It is normal for the Warriors to win, and it is normal to lose, but it is abnormal for the Rockets.

With a good situation in their hands, they finally reached a situation where one goal will determine the outcome.

This kind of method is certainly exciting, but can it fail?

Doesn’t it mean nothing if you miss the shot?
Especially little Bickerstaff.

Although he took McHale's position temporarily, but with the perennial influence of his old father, he is a veteran no matter what.

But there are really many problems with his on-the-spot response and player scheduling.

If the timing of the arrest is more sensitive and the choice is bolder, the Warriors will not be forced to this point in the end.

As for the players themselves, there is nothing wrong with them.

Harden scored 35 points, nine assists and eight rebounds in a single game, completing his task very purely!

Although Howard said that his offense has been particularly monotonous and rough since he entered the league, his defense and rebounding have always been trustworthy, and he also scored [-] points and [-] rebounds in this game.

The most surprising thing is Motai Yunas.

This guy has gradually gained the trust of the coaching staff since Qin Tao left.

He played very well in this game, with inside scoring and rebounding, as well as his medium and long-range shooting that he is very good at.

He scored [-] points and [-] rebounds in this game, and he played very well.

Coupled with Beverly's [-] and [-] assists, and Beasley's [-] points and [-] rebounds, there is really nothing to say about the Rockets players.

As for their defense, to be honest, after the Warriors have played their form, other teams in the league are not so easy to restrict.
