Chapter 774 Hero Vs "Magden"

When Ying Xiong and other main players returned in the second quarter, the difference between the two sides did not narrow, but it did not expand either.

The game continues.

Beverly dribbled over and immediately passed the ball to Harden in the frontcourt.

Harden dribbled the ball lazily at the top of the arc, his eyes were blurred, giving people a very lazy feeling.

"James likes a backcourt partner like Patrick." Greg Sager said with a smile.

"Let him play the ball all by himself, and someone will wipe his ass on defense. Who wouldn't like it instead..." Jeff Van Gundy was a little speechless.

Harden used the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and made a 3-point shot with a step-hit!
"This ball is wonderful. Seeing that DeMar's defensive position is a bit inside, he directly shot a 3-pointer." Greg Sager praised.

"Well, James' ability to read the game is still very strong, and he is also very threatening to attack with the ball." Jeff Van Gundy also said affirmatively.

With Harden's 3-pointer, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to only 5 points.

On the Raptors side, DeRozan wanted to return a mid-range, but he didn't.

Howard grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Harden to advance.

"Dwight's backboard protection is really good!" Greg Sager sighed.

"Yeah, with Dwight on the court, it's hard for Jonas to get offensive rebounds!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Harden started the high-position pick-and-roll again, used his footsteps to break through, threw his left hand, Howard jumped high, and succeeded in the alley-oop!It also caused a thug foul by Valanciunas!
"And one!" Greg Sager explained passionately.

There was a timeout on the sidelines. Raptors coach Casey was dissatisfied with the team's performance during this period, frowned, and called to stop the game.

"Actually, it's not just Dwight who can't defend against pick-and-rolls, but also Jonas. It's just that James missed a 3-pointer in the first quarter, so it feels like Jonas is doing well." Jeff Van Gundy Said.

Back from the timeout, Howard made an extra free throw, leaving only 2 points behind.

Less than 2 minutes after the main players of both sides came back, the Rockets played a 6:0 spurt.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong used the cover, but the opponent suddenly flanked him.

Ying Xiong sent the ball to Valanciunas, who took the ball to kill, and then divided DeRozan in the bottom corner, who made a 3-pointer-but no!

Beverly flew to grab the rebound, and he crazily pushed to counterattack. He rushed to the frontcourt in one breath, returned the carbine, and returned the ball to Harden.

Harden made a feint shot from outside the 3-point line, shaking DeRozan, holding the ball in himself, using the European step, laying up past Patterson, and scored 2 points!
The two sides draw!

"I didn't expect Houston to hit an 2:8 climax in such a short 0 minutes!" Greg Sager said in surprise.

"Houston's scoring explosiveness is very strong, and their offense has never been a problem, even if Dwight and James don't cooperate much on the court. Their poor record is due to defensive and mental factors." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Ying Xiong slowly dribbled the ball over. From the time when he and Valanciunas had a pick-and-roll just now, he realized that the opponent's defense against him had changed in this quarter, and he began to consciously pinch himself.He took the ball to the frontcourt, faced Ariza's single defense, and let Patterson come out to cover.

The Rockets' strategy is to let Ariza squeeze through the screen, not give a mismatch, and don't pinch.

"Houston didn't have a pinch!" Greg Sager explained.

"Because of Patrick's long shot. Patrick's perimeter threat is not comparable to Jonas." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Ying Xiong took advantage of the delay Patterson gave him, and suddenly accelerated, throwing Ariza away.

Motaiyunas here came to help defend and go to catch Xiong.

Facing Motai Yunas, Ying Xiong made a change of direction on the move, passed the opponent in an instant, and went straight to the penalty area.

Howard guards the basket, with the momentum of "one man guards the gate and ten thousand men don't open it".

Ying Xiong didn't dodge at all, he stepped on the gas pedal to the end, and forced his way towards the opponent.

Of course, Howard is unwilling to be the background board. He is also the best defensive player for two consecutive times. The basket is his territory, and his opponent is not allowed to play wild, even if this person is the No.1 in the league known as "Hero".

The two jumped almost at the same time, but obviously, Ying Xiong jumped higher and more lightly.Back then, when Howard was still a monster, he was a flying spider, and kissing the basket was commonplace.But now, his bounce is still excellent, but compared with the Magic period, after all, it is still a bit worse.

Ying Xiong and Howard fought hard, but still did not lose their center of gravity. They scored the ball steadily and got the whistle!

The fans of the home team at the scene began to cheer enthusiastically. This kind of tough style of facing the former best defensive player, Ying Xiong, made the fans crazy.

"MVP", "MVP"... The fans of the home team shouted this familiar title again.In the past three seasons, Ying Xiong has won the MVP of the regular season and finals.This season, fans hope that he can continue to monopolize these two awards.

Ying Xiong stepped up to the free throw line, made an extra free throw, and successfully scored 2+1.

"This ball is really tough, but Dwight is on the other side!" Greg Sager said excitedly.

"Well, this ball should be played well enough and brave. But I have to say that Dwight's physical fitness is not as good as when he was in Orlando." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Is it age or injury?" Greg Sager asked.

"It should be an injury. He is still in his prime for his age." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Harden's 3-point shot here-no this time.

But Howard has offensive rebounds!After he grabbed the offensive rebound, he immediately made a dunk!

The difference is only 1 points!
For the Raptors, Ying Xiong made a second pass to Valanciunas at the basket, who was blocked by Howard for a layup!
However, Beverly made a pass error and was intercepted by Jeremy Lin!But looking back Patterson was also a catch error...

If the main force of the Raptors suppressed the Rockets in the first quarter, then the second quarter was the moment when Harden and Ying Xiong faced each other. Of course, Warcraft should not be forgotten.

第2节，哈登单节独砍15分，而应雄则是砍下了17分。可火箭队不光是哈登，魔兽霍华德拿下8分5个篮板2个盖帽的出色数据。

At the end of the half, the Raptors led the Rockets by 3 points.

"Jeff, it seems that this game is not so easy to end!" Greg Sager said.

"It really won't be so fast. Houston is such a team. He is not strong when he is weak, but he is not weak when he is strong. It seems that every game is '[-]-[-]', making it difficult to guess the end of the game. Win or lose," Jeff Van Gundy said helplessly.
