On November 11, the Raptors challenged the Kings away.The two teams also competed on the 21th of this month, so they are not too unfamiliar with each other.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Rockets at home is: center - Clint Capela, power forward - Ryan Anderson, small forward - Trevor Ariza, shooting guard - James Harden, organization Guard -- Patrick Beverley.

The starting lineup of the Raptors in the away game is: center-Yonas Valanciunas, power forward-Patrick Patterson, small forward-DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard-Ying Xiong, Point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The commentators for this game are Greg Sager and Mark Jackson.

"Mark, do you think Toronto will recover in this game?" Greg Sager asked.

"I think it will. They have too much experience and strong adjustment ability, and they will not let the bad state of the last game continue. Moreover, they have not lost in a row this season, so this kind of thing should not be allowed to happen Yes," Mark Jackson said.

"But Houston is not good to each other!" Greg Sager laughed.

"Well, this game is not a small challenge for Toronto." Mark Jackson said.

Valanciunas and Capela are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

Capela easily beat Valanciunas with a jump ball, and the Rockets won the first wave of offensive possession.

Beverly dribbles over slowly.He dribbles downfield and immediately passes the ball to Harden.

"Patrick is really a 3D point guard!" Greg Sager laughed.

Harden held the ball at the top of the arc, and Capela came up to pick and roll.

Since Howard left the Rockets, blue-collar center Capela has had a chance at the top.Compared with Warcraft, he is younger, more energetic, and works harder when playing.Of course, the most important point is that he unconditionally obeys Harden's leadership.

It was DeRozan who defended Harden.

"Toronto didn't play James!" Greg Sager said.

"Well, I guess German's idea is to consider foul factors. After all, James' ability to make fouls is too good, so other players will be allowed to defend him during regular time. But I believe that the game is really at a critical moment. He Will go to mark the opponent himself," Mark Jackson explained.

Ryan Anderson, Harden's breakthrough point, wanted to shoot a 3-pointer, but Patterson defended very tightly, and he chose to break through with the ball.

Anderson suddenly points to Beverly from the outside, and the latter makes a decisive 3-pointer-it pops out of the frame!

But Capela grabbed the offensive rebound!

Capela gave the ball to Ryan Anderson on the outside, and the latter shot again with a 3-pointer-still nothing!
"Houston is really obsessed with the 3-point shot!" Greg Sagel said with a smile.

"Morey's 'Magic Ball Theory' is more in line with the current league trend!" Mark Jackson said.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong on the right wing.

Ying Xiong faced Ariza's defense and assigned it to DeRozan on the left.

Facing Harden's defense, DeRozan rushed in with the ball, but was stuck on the bottom line by the opponent.

DeRozan couldn't make it through and caused a dead ball, so he could only forcefully kick the ball backwards-no!
Beverly flew to grab the backcourt rebound and handed it to Harden to advance.

"James this season is much more focused on the defensive end than last season!" Greg Sager said.

"Well, the physical condition is also much better. Just now, DeMar was blocked from the breakthrough route. If the two had a physical confrontation, James would be worthy of each other." Mark Jackson said.

For the Rockets, Harden fouled Valanciunas when he broke through!
"Younas's expression looks very wronged!" Greg Sager laughed.

"I can't help but feel wronged. The referee blew it. Even if I think it's not a foul, I can only accept the result of the foul!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Harden stood on the free throw line and made two free throws steadily!
"James' free throws are really stable!" Greg Sager exclaimed.

"Well, if he doesn't have a stable free throw, his opponents won't be so afraid of fouling him." Mark Jackson said.

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

Ying Xiong held the ball and called Patterson to come up to cover.

Patterson's screen quality is not too high, so Ariza chooses to squeeze through the screen.

But for Xiong, such a little delay is enough...

Ying Xiong held the ball to his right hand and forced a switch.

Ariza dare not ignore Patterson, you must know that this is a 3th position with a 40-point shooting rate of more than 4%!

Facing Ryan Anderson, Ying Xiong made a crotch change and then changed direction ahead of time. He easily passed the opponent and rushed directly to the basket.

Capela at the basket is like facing a big enemy, thinking about how to block it in his mind.

Unexpectedly——Ying Xiong shot in the middle distance...

The ball crashes into the net!
"Clint thought he was going to go to the basket, but the opponent shot a mid-range shot! It was really unexpected!" Greg Sager sighed.

"The 'Magic Ball Theory' not only affects Houston's offensive end, but also has a great impact on their defensive end! Isn't it said that mid-range is the cheapest way to score? But it should be mid-range! Hahaha... "Mark Jackson laughed.

For the Rockets, Capela missed the alley-oop!
For the Raptors, Ying Xiong still passed the mid-range and scored a 2-pointer!
The Raptors lead 4:2!
