Chapter 826 Desperate Offensive and Defensive Strength

The Rockets players opened up the court space very wide, and the game instantly became a one-on-one partial contest between Harden VS Yingxiong.

NBA fans like to watch this kind of superstar heads-up, which is why the Spurs have performed so well in the past 20 years, but their popularity is still not as good as some teams with mediocre results but superstars and topics.

Harden was expressionless and kept dribbling the ball under his crotch. It seemed that the Rockets didn't intend to make a rush.

"It seems that Houston wants to make good use of these 24 seconds!" Greg Sagel said with a smile.

"Well, the attack effect may not be very good. After all, the attack time of 4 seconds is still a little short. If the attack fails, it is almost equivalent to leaving a full 24-second attack time for the opponent, which is too passive." Mark Jackson explained.

Harden wants to spend time until the last shot, so even if he misses, the opponent only has about 4 seconds of attack time, and it is still a bit hasty to play a wave of attack time.

But you, Harden, want to do this, but Ying Xiong doesn't want to.

When Ying Xiong had 12 seconds left in the attack time, he suddenly defended himself with a "death coil".His move surprised everyone present.

In the NBA, few defensive players dare to defend Harden in this state.Not only because of his excellent breakthrough ability, but also because of his unique "touch porcelain" ability.If you dare to get close, he dares to make you commit all kinds of crimes.

Harden was not too surprised that Yingxiong came to press, because obviously, the offense is more detrimental to the Raptors if the offense is pressed to the end.In order to avoid such a situation, it is not so incomprehensible for the opponent to exert pressure in advance.

Harden has always been very confident in his dribbling, even if the opponent is the best defensive player, he is not afraid at all.Although it is the last moment of the game, the referee will let the players decide the game and will not call fouls easily.But if the opponent really fouled, the referee couldn't really stop blowing.

Harden avoided Yingxiong's steal while looking for offensive opportunities.His offensive opportunities are not only breakthroughs, but a large part of them are fouls.

At this time, both teams have reached the point where fouls are free throws. At this time, walking to the free throw line is the most effective and economical way to score.

However, when the sky failed, Harden's heart suddenly trembled. When he came back to his senses, the ball in his hand had disappeared...

Harden naturally knew what happened, because the screams at the scene said everything...

Ying Xiong broke the ball, hit 1 in the frontcourt, and made an easy dunk!
——It is not so easy to lose the ball in this position, not to mention returning to defense, even fouling.

There were 10 seconds left before the end of the game, and it took less than 3 seconds for Yingxiong to complete the dunk after stealing the ball just now.

"Should this steal, so beautiful!" Greg Sager exclaimed.

"The ball was cut very simply, there should be no foul!" Mark Jackson said.

The Rockets used up the last timeout here.They also suddenly changed from the dominant side of the game to the passive side.

But there is still a chance. In 10 seconds, the frontcourt serve is enough for a complete attack.Moreover, in regular time, the Rockets even have a chance to overtake.

Ying Xiong scored his 58th point of the game just now with a dunk after stealing the ball!
The home team fans at the scene were very nervous. They didn't want the team's good situation to really fall short.But they are also very helpless, because at this time the team is indeed in a passive state.

The huge threat and invisible pressure that Yingxiong brought to the home team made people feel a little suffocated.

Back from the timeout, Ariza throws the ball out of bounds and the game continues.

The Raptors are very strict in defending the foul ball, preventing the opponent from easily sending the ball.

There is a time limit for serving the throw-in. When Ariza saw that he could not serve the ball and there was no timeout, he was very anxious.You must know that this is the team's last chance. Once the serve is violated, the game will basically be explained.He was heartbroken and sent the ball to Harden, who was defended by Yingxiong, before the violation.

But—Ying Xiong steals the ball again!
Ying Xiong broke the ball and ran forward like a cheetah.The Rockets players wanted to try to chase, but found that there was not much point at all.

Ying Xiong succeeded in gliding and dunking, widening the point difference to 4 points!At this time, there are 5.1 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Heavenly! Another answer—" Greg Sager exclaimed.

The Rockets have no timeouts!Therefore, they can only serve from the backcourt.For them, this game has almost been explained!

The Rockets fans at the scene couldn't bear to see this scene, and some of them closed their eyes in pain.What's more, they have already left the field early.

In the end, Beverly missed a 3-pointer from a distance, and the game ended. The Raptors narrowly beat the Rockets away, avoiding a two-game losing streak.

应雄全场砍下赛季新高的60分，外加11个篮板8个助攻8个抢断3个盖帽。他比赛最后阶段的两个抢断，是决定比赛最终胜负的关键点。

8 steals created a new high in a single game of Yingxiong's NBA regular season career. His previous record was 7 steals.

"This game proved that Ying is still the undisputed No.1 in the league!" Greg Sager sighed.

"Yeah, both offensively and defensively, they are desperately strong!" Mark Jackson said.

"Letting James hold the ball at the end of the game is Houston's regular style of play, but it's a pity that it met a god-like response!" Greg Sager sighed.

"It can't be blamed on Mike. There is nothing wrong with his tactical design. It is because Ying is too strong, not because of James' strength!" Mark Jackson explained.

After defeating the Rockets in an away game, the Raptors' record came to 13 wins and 2 losses, still ranking first in the league.

On November 11, the Raptors ushered in the last opponent in the 26-game streak-the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are a fairly young team. They are currently building a team with the "Antetokounmpo"-Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker as the core. The team's strength is still very average, and whether they can enter the Eastern Conference playoffs this season still needs to work hard.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Bucks at home is: center-Miles Plumlee, power forward-Jabari Parker, small forward-Giannis Antetokounmpo, shooting guard- Tony Snell, point guard -- Matthew Dellavedova.

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 Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller.
