Chapter 359: An untimed shot ends the Rockets
After 15 minutes, the intermission ended and the second half began.
The Rockets launched their first offense of the second half, and Howard, who had four fouls, continued to be sent on the court.
If the Rockets want to achieve a comeback against the wind, they must rely on Howard to exert his dominance in the penalty area.
James Harden continued his first-half strategy, looking for trouble for Hassan and causing him as many fouls as possible.
However, after the pick-and-roll with Howard, there was no matchup with Hassan, but with Qin Xiao, who should not be in this position.
Harden looked up and saw Qin Xiao, and was stunned. What was going on?
He quickly glanced at the others and saw Gasol defending Gao Fushuai while Hassan continued to guard the penalty area.
"Hey...who are you looking for?"
Qin Xiao looked at Harden jokingly.
"Why you?" Harden's face looked a little unhappy.
"Why can't it be me? What are you afraid of?"
The powerful aura on Qin Xiao's body made it difficult for Harden to breathe.
But he is the leader of the Rockets and must not give in on his own turf.
"Who said I'm afraid? Even if it's you, I'll still cause harm!"
As soon as the words fell, Harden immediately launched an attack.
He knew that Qin Xiao had strong defensive ability and was not someone to be trifled with.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Harden waved again and again in front of Qin Xiao, using all his eighteen martial arts skills, but he was still unable to break through Qin Xiao's defense.
"That's all you have? It seems like there's no one to help you with pick-and-rolls. You're really not good at it!"
Qin Xiao was a little disappointed. He thought Harden's offensive ability was so strong, but this is the result?
In the next second, Harden gave up the breakthrough and suddenly chose to step back and shoot a three-point jumper.
Qin Xiao sneered secretly. He had seen through Harden completely, including the sudden cold arrow he thought he had.
The moment Harden took the shot, Qin Xiao took off at the right time to block the shot.
"boom!!"
The sound of the basketball being slapped away sounded from above Harden's head.
His heart suddenly thumped, and he thought to himself that it was not good.
Without any time to think about it, he immediately shouted: "Get back to defense quickly!"
On the court, the Rockets players hurriedly ran towards the backcourt, but Qin Xiao was too fast. As soon as these players passed halftime, they saw Qin Xiao hanging on the basket and completing a powerful dunk!
"It's 37 points, Qin Xiao is going to hit 40 points again!"
"After the start of the new season, he is even crazier on the offensive end than last season."
"Although we were very strong last season, we didn't have such a strong desire to attack."
"This season feels completely different, maybe because he is now the new leader of the Lakers!"
In the Penguin Sports studio, Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a powerful Qin Xiao.
The game continued, and Harden was unwilling to try a pick-and-roll again to create a mismatch. After switching defenses, he still faced Qin Xiao.
This time he resisted the urge to attack inside and cause damage, because he knew very well that he could not break through Qin Xiao's defense.
So he simply handed the ball to Jeremy Lin on the weak side. When Jeremy Lin played Lin's crazy performance in the Knicks, many fans had high hopes.
At that time, many fans remembered that Jeremy Lin was going crazy in New York and completely overshadowed Melo Anthony!
The story that followed was very sad. Jeremy Lin did not escape the fate of being traded after all. After moving to the New York Knicks, he came to the Rockets to partner with Harden.
Some people believe that this backcourt combination will become the league's golden duo.
Unfortunately, Jeremy Lin did not meet the fans' expectations.
When he comes here, his performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and he rarely performs as crazy as during the Linsanity period!
At this moment, Jeremy Lin received the ball and faced Farmar's defense.
He successfully got rid of Farmar in two consecutive changes of direction, and chose to make a mid-range pull-up jump shot.
"Shh!"
The sound of entering the net sounded, and the basketball hit the ball hollow.
"Good shot, Lin seems to be in good shape tonight."
"He scored 12 points in the first half, and after this shot, he already scored 14 points."
"Besides James Harden, he is the Rockets' second-highest scorer."
"But it's not enough, they need more players to step up, especially Howard."
"But now Dwight has no desire to express himself. He seems to be frightened by Qin and Hassan!"
Kenny Smith was a little disappointed with Howard's performance.
He mentioned Howard many times tonight, hoping that the latter can display his due strength and make the game more exciting.
In the following round, Qin Xiao broke through and scored again with a layup, only one point away from the goal.
Tens of seconds later, Qin Xiao stepped on the hot wheel and continued to attack the penalty area.
"Stop him!"
"Double-team! Double-team me!"
McHale grinned angrily on the sidelines.
Everyone on Team Rocket formed an encirclement and rushed towards Qin Xiao.
When they were about to overwhelm Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao jumped up with all his strength and used [Infinite Shot]
Howard did not allow Qin Xiao to score again in front of him and decisively jumped to block the shot.
After taking off, he realized that he was shorter than Qin Xiao. His fingertips could only touch Qin Xiao's wrist, but he still couldn't stop Qin Xiao from throwing the ball in.
"Beep!!"
The referee's whistle blew again, pointing at Howard and making a gesture of a thug's foul.
"Foul! Howard received his fifth foul. He should be substituted, right?"
After Howard landed, he immediately went to the referee to argue.
"I didn't commit a foul just now. He touched me himself. I just raised my arm and didn't move it down."
Facing Howard's defense, the referee said calmly: "But I saw it was your finger that touched Qin's wrist. According to NBA rules, you committed a defensive foul. There is nothing to explain."
At the same time, the scene just now was replayed in slow motion on the big screen above the stadium.
It can be seen through slow motion that Warcraft's fingertips did touch Qin Xiao's wrist. There is no problem with this penalty.
"Now the Houston Rockets are in trouble. While Qin broke through 40 points, he also beat Howard. This is simply too bad for the Rockets!"
"We were already so many points behind, and now we have lost our inside support. This game may have to be decided."
Qin Xiao stood on the free throw line again, and he deliberately turned his head to look at Harden.
It seems to be saying: How is it?Am I better at drawing fouls than you are?
Harden also understood the meaning in Qin Xiao's eyes. He was holding back anger in his heart but could not vent it.
At the free throw line, Qin Xiao shot the ball to find his touch. After adjusting his condition, he made a steady hit with an additional penalty. This was his No. 40 two-pointer of the game.
With this goal scored, the Lakers also opened the point difference to [-] points, and the scale of victory tilted more and more towards the Lakers!
After 15 minutes, the intermission ended and the second half began.
The Rockets launched their first offense of the second half, and Howard, who had four fouls, continued to be sent on the court.
