King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 77 The King's Enthronement

The third quarter is crucial. For the Kings who only have 7 players in rotation, this is a quarter that must be survived. Both Cousins ​​and Iguodala have played more than 20 minutes, and Iguodala is even closer to playing. The first half was full, so it must be time for He Yixiang to lead the team alone from the beginning of the second half.Sure enough, the Kings' starters in the second half were He Yixiang, Hyde, Casspi, Yi Jianlian, and Whiteside.Both Iguodala and Cousins ​​were put on the bench to rest.

The Rockets put on a backcourt combination of Brooks and Martin. On November 11, the Rockets played against the San Antonio Spurs at home. Brooks sprained his left ankle and was carried off by the team doctor and teammates.He didn't return from injury until December 6th, and during the injury period, backup point guard Kyle Lowry has occupied the main position with his excellent performance, and today is the first battle of Brooks' return from injury.

However, in terms of offensive power, Brooks is still stronger than Lowry. In the 09-10 season, Brooks became the player who scored the most three-pointers last season with 209 three-pointers. With an average of 19.6 points per game, he became the winner of the most improved player in 10 years.

The Rockets obviously wanted to take the opportunity to chase points with this combination, and killed the King in one wave.However, as strong as the offense is, the defense is as weak as this combination. Rockets fans once joked that it should not be difficult for these two to score 50 points together. What a problem.

"It seems that He Yixiang's task in the third quarter is very heavy. I guess he won't have much rest time in the second half." Zhang Weiping also saw the focus of the next third quarter.

Yang Yi also nodded: "At least the first few minutes are very important. The Rockets can't score too fast, otherwise it will be difficult to continue playing even if Cousins ​​and Iguodala come back to play."

As soon as Brooks came on the court, he showed his powerful attacking side. He wanted to rely on his own performance to regain the starting position. It was the former Rockets player Hyde who defended Brooks.What the Rockets value is Brooks' offensive power and Hyde's defensive ability. In Brooks' rookie season, the two had a lot of matchups in training games.

But at this time, Brooks' desire to return to the starting lineup has made him stronger. Hyde has played with Brooks for many years, so he naturally knows that Brooks is a guy with extremely inflated confidence, and he is especially good at throwing some unreasonable magic balls.Although Brooks is still one step away from the three-point line at this time, Hyde is still very tight.

But Brooks has no fear. Facing Hyde's defense, he crossed the ball and just opened up a little bit of space. He directly forced a three-pointer. Thinking of a more difficult way to fly into the basket, the basketball flew directly over Hyde's arm, and fell into the net with despairing eyes from the Global Pavilion.

Brooks is also roaring with passion, the ball is like telling Adelman, coach, my fighting power is still there.Many Kings fans kept shaking their heads with their hands behind their heads, and words like no and fuck basically came out of their mouths.

Zhang Weiping also said with a smile: "Brooks is still like this! If he was as good as he is now, Dayao wouldn't have to be so tired from fighting."

"One of the representatives of the new generation of fairy balls, now we will see how He Yixiang responds."

On the side of the king, He Yixiang is not at all cowardly. Brooks just made a super long three-pointer. He also wanted to immediately concoct the same one and return it to the opponent. There is still a distance of one meter from the 45-degree angle. Battier Be careful not to get too close. After all, the speed is not enough, and it is easy to be passed by if you stick too close.However, He Yixiang spoke to Battier for the first time during the half-time silence: "Actually, I can shoot a super long three-pointer."

Battier was shocked when he heard this sentence, and rushed forward, but it was too late, watching the basketball flying towards the basket, as a college student who studied religious beliefs, Battier couldn't help but plead God told the ball not to go in, but God may have a holiday today. He didn't hear Battier's prayer, and the basketball went straight into the net.Although there were not many people on the King's bench, it was boiling at this time. Cousins ​​and Iguodala stood up and waved towels excitedly.

"Awesome! This ball is directly an answer ball! He Yixiang is swearing sovereignty to Brooks!" Seeing this ball, Yang Yi also roared out. He who has always been calm in such a wonderful response couldn't help it. up!

Director Zhang, who is half a Rockets fan, is silent at this time. You have nothing to do with such a ball except to say 666.

But He Yixiang’s dominant performance in the third quarter had just begun. On the next ball, He Yixiang relied on Casspi’s pick-and-roll to beat Brooks at the elbow. It's all hopeless.

Offensive and defensive changes, back to the king's half, Brooks wanted to get back to the field, and after switching defenses, he directly lowered his center of gravity and made a quick layup against He Yixiang, but He Yixiang's speed was no slower than him, and he kept sticking to his side.If it was a sane defender, he would naturally not attack the ball again, but Brooks is a one-sided guy. He wanted to use the impact to push He Yixiang directly for a layup.

He Yixiang showed a disdainful smile, you think you are Baron Davis, everyone can hit me like this, then I might as well go back to China, just hold my position, take off when I see the opportunity, and press Brooks' ball on the ground He hit the backboard and grabbed it down. When he fell, he also launched a fast break. On the way running wildly, a man changed direction and passed Martin, who was about to take out the ball, and then directly accelerated and passed. Scola, Battier was the only one left in front of him at this time, and He Yixiang's eyes lit up with flames: I want to beat him.

He stopped at the three-point line and pretended to hold the ball to shoot, and then bowed to Buddha, but Battier didn't hesitate at all. Although there was a pause, he still stuck tightly.Too bad, I didn't get rid of it, the penetration was too deep at this time, and I had to make a shot immediately, but what He Yixiang thought of at this time was the scene where Martin made Iguodala foul in the first half.He Yixiang straightened his waist in an instant, and continued to explode and forcefully shot at the basket.

Battier was surprised by this forced shot. In his impression, the boy in front of him prefers to shake others away completely before making a shot, but he had no time to dodge it, and caused physical contact during the retreat. The referee decisively The whistle sounded, and Battier also helplessly raised his hand to signal a foul.Three rounds, a super long three-pointer, a two-point jumper, and a quick offensive and defensive conversion foul, scored 7 points in a row.

Even if you have two guns in the backcourt, there is only one ball, and I am enough.
