Chapter 358: Which team is better at drawing fouls?
·
Wo Yao Huo Le
According to the normal rotation time, the main players will have to rest for at least 2 minutes.
But McHale couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he waved his hand and replaced all the main players.
At the same time, all the main players of the Lakers also appeared in advance.
The Rockets sent a sideline pass, and James Harden and Howard tried a pick-and-roll.
The quality of Howard's pick-and-roll was quite high, completely blocking Kobe and allowing Harden to find misplaced singles opportunities.
Although Hassan drank the energy drink given to him by Qin Xiao, his speed increased to a certain extent.
But after all, he is an inside player, and his sensitivity cannot be compared with that of a defender.
Harden's consecutive fake moves successfully deflected Hassan's defensive focus and took the opportunity to attack the inside!
Gasol saw this and came over to help defend. He raised his arms high to interfere with Harden's shot.
Harden took the European step without haste, used the change of rhythm to avoid Gasol's block, actively pressed against his body, and at the same time threw the ball toward the basket.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle was blown decisively and Gasol committed a defensive foul.
Not only that, the ball was scored by Harden, and the goal was effective.
"Harden's personal destruction ability is really strong now. It's not easy to get a foul from Gasol with this ball."
"You must know that Gasol is a veteran who has played for more than ten seasons. He has considerable court experience and the ability to read the game."
"Under normal circumstances, if you want to defraud him of a foul, you still need a certain ability."
At the referee's signal, Harden stood on the free throw line and made a solid hit with the extra penalty.
In the next round, Harden, who had tasted the sweetness, made a comeback.
This time he caused another foul on Hassan and was sent to the free throw line again.
"Haden returned to the court and began to show his desire to attack on the offensive end."
"He frequently attacks the basket and draws fouls to stabilize the situation on the court."
"However, the point difference between the two sides still remains at double digits. If we want to reduce the score, we must limit the Lakers' offense."
While he was talking, Qin Xiao launched an attack.
Harden's breakthrough requires a pick-and-roll, but he doesn't.
[Super high-speed dribbling] was displayed, and Gao Fushuai could only watch Qin Xiao's rear taillights.
Howard was psychologically affected by Qin Xiao's flying dunk. He did not dare to step forward to defend, but instead gave way.
Qin Xiao accepted the gift with a smile and dunked easily and happily.
Howard's move made the fans at the scene unable to stand it, and some fans even booed.
"Damn it, Dwight, what are you doing? Do you think you're a Laker?"
"Aren't you going to help defend now? Are you psychologically affected by Qin? You coward!"
Rockets fans were not used to Howard and scolded him angrily on the spot.
In the next few rounds, the two sides fought back and forth, and the scores on both sides also increased alternately.
During this period, Harden entered the penalty area many times, causing defensive fouls on the white side.
The purpose is very clear, which is to get Hassan into foul trouble and release Howard in the penalty area.
As long as Hassan is off the court, no one on the Lakers will be able to limit Howard.
In this way, he can cooperate with Harden and maybe tie the score.
However, the imagination is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
While Harden continued to find trouble for Dabai Bian, Qin Xiao also found Howard.
There are only a few seconds left before the end of the first half.
Currently, Howard and Hassan also have three fouls.
Under normal circumstances, these two people would have to be replaced, but because there was not much time left, they stayed on the field.
The Lakers sent a baseline ball, and Qin Xiao quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.
He only had Howard in his eyes, and he rushed towards him.
Howard wanted to hide away, but was afraid of being booed by the home fans again, so he had no choice but to come up and defend.
Qin Xiao stopped and feinted, Howard jumped to block the shot, and the outcome was already doomed.
"Beep!"
The desperate whistle sounded, and Howard successfully received his fourth foul.
This foul broke the hearts of all Rockets fans present, and Harden was even more speechless.
He finally managed to get Hassan to commit three fouls, and he was able to completely release Howard in the second half.
As a result, Lao Huo failed to live up to his expectations and committed more fouls than Hassan.
Qin Xiao went to the free throw line and made both free throws.
At the end of the first half, at 65:48, the Lakers extended their lead to [-] points.
Qin Xiao played the entire first half, scoring 35 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds.
However, it is not him that attracts the most attention, but Hassan.
Fans have long been accustomed to Qin Xiao's highlight performances, so they are not surprised at all.
On the contrary, Hassan left a very deep impression on Lakers fans.
In his matchup with Howard, he was completely incompetent.
In the first half, he delivered a perfect score of 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
Looking at Howard again, he only scored 4 points and 4 rebounds, falling behind in terms of statistics.
What's even worse is that he has already committed four fouls, which seriously affected the second half of the game.
During the halftime break, the commentator was not idle and began to analyze the trends of both sides in the first half.
"Dwight was probably stunned by Qin's dunk today. How can he still look like the league's number one center?"
"If he played as well as he should, the Rockets would never be so passive."
"The Lakers now have a huge lead and control the absolute initiative on the court."
"Charles, do you think there's still hope for the Rockets?"
Kenny Smith looked at Barkley and said.
"Hope? Do you mean that we hope to control the point difference within [-] points before the end of the game?"
"If that's the case, then there's still a chance."
"But this requires more players to step up, and James Harden alone is not enough."
"After all, this guy is known to collapse in the second half."
"If you want to say that there is hope for a comeback, you'd better go home and dream as soon as possible. After all, dreams have everything!"
Barkley has played for the Rockets after all, but he showed no mercy.
……
In the Lakers locker room.
“I thought Team Rocket could be that strong, but it turns out that’s just how strong it is.”
"Haha! They thought Dwight would be able to take off if he went there, but he ended up playing softly and loosely."
"That guy must be regretting leaving here now. He was a softie and gave up everything for a max salary."
Artest and others frantically bombarded Howard.
On the other side, in the Rockets locker room.
"There is not much time left for us. In the second half of the game, we must play the ultimate defense."
"Everyone, please listen to me. Let your physical confrontation be full. I don't want to see Qin have any chance to take action easily."
"Especially you, Dwight, please calm down."
"After halftime, I hope to see the real No. [-] center in the league!"
McHale finally couldn't stand it anymore and criticized Howard by name.
However, he still has a glimmer of hope for Howard, hoping that he can perform the return of the king in the second half!
But McHale couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he waved his hand and replaced all the main players.
At the same time, all the main players of the Lakers also appeared in advance.
