"Hahaha, did I see it right? This guy just dunked on Dwight!" Barkley shouted.
"Charles, this guy not only dunked, he also dunked after stealing Dwight's serve. Zhao's physical talent is underestimated." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Domestic fans watching the live broadcast also tapped their keyboards.
"Zhao Chen's talent is really awesome. He was able to dunk a World of Warcraft after a super mid-air jump."
"Zhao Chen was too low-key before, which made most people think that he had average talent, but this time Howard said it was a dunk."
"Zhao Chen's talent is really good. Many previous games have shown that his talent is unique."
"The defensive awareness is also top-notch, and he can judge the opponent's serving route immediately after attacking."
"Domineering talent!"
"Zhao Chen is so useful in the playoffs. He dunks at every turn."
Although the fans knew that Zhao Chen's talent was not weak, they were still shocked when they saw these two balls showing his talent in a row.
After Zhao Chen landed, he kept panting. These two consecutive difficult goals made him a little choked.
"Zhao, that's a good dunk. It's as good as mine." Westbrook continued to come over and high-five Zhao Chen.
"Haha." Zhao Chen smiled.
Westbrook appreciates Zhao Chen more and more. Zhao Chen's style of play is very tough and suits his taste.
Westbrook is a guard who likes dunking more than shooting. He thinks dunking is enough for a man.
The fans were also watching the replays, and they were all cheering. Zhao Chen's ball was too horizontal.
Parsons and Beverly pulled Howard up.
Howard looked very unhappy. It was humiliating to be dunked like this by Zhao Chen.
"Give me the ball later," Howard said to Beverley.
"No problem." Beverly replied with a sinister expression.
This sinister expression is Beverly's standard.
Beverley is not tall enough, not heavy enough, not talented enough, and not skilled enough. He knows that if he wants to survive in the NBA, he must rely on ruthlessness!
This is his way of survival.
He made it clear at all times that he wanted to cause trouble in this game.
Rockets offense.
Beverley threw the ball directly to Howard who wanted the ball inside.
Howard beats Ibaka in singles!
"boom!"
"boom!"
The continuous impacts were so powerful that even Ibaka couldn't withstand it.
Ibaka was directly overturned by Howard.
Howard just showed his strength and showed that he was going to be tough.
"Beep beep beep!!"
Offensive foul.
Howard was a little depressed after being beaten by Zhao Chen.
Howard smashed the ball to the ground!
"boom!"
The basketball bounces high.
T
"Technical foul!"
The referee gave Howard a technical foul signal without hesitation.
Zhao Chen also challenged Howard from the side: "Silly man, use your brain when playing."
Trash talk successfully launched.
"Rookie, what did you say? Have the guts to say it again!"
"Silly big guy!"
Howard wanted to rush forward, but was firmly stopped by Harden and Parsons.
As long as Howard makes a move, this series will be over. It's only the first game now.
McHale signaled a substitution from the sidelines.
Howard was a little confused by Zhao Chen's trash talk.
The referee also went over to warn Zhao Chen and signaled Zhao Chen not to go too far with his trash talk.
Soon, Howard was replaced.
...
"Why is Howard still so naive after fighting for so long?"
"He looked more rookie than rookie."
"Zhao Chen seemed to have said something to him."
"Haha, Howard can be sent off easily."
"Thunder is totally open."
Domestic fans are tapping their keyboards in excitement.
Fans at Chesapeake Energy Arena also booed Howard for ejection.
But obviously, the referee will not send off Howard so easily. After all, Howard hasn't done anything yet, he just smashed the ball. Such behavior is enough to be considered a technical foul.
Zhao Chen made a free throw with a technical foul.
After this turmoil, the Thunder continued to attack steadily, and the Thunder's Big Three continued to exert their strength.
Zhao Chen's three-pointer hit!
....
Durant's breakthrough layup!
....
Westbrook's zombie jumper hits!
Under the Thunder's continuous offensive, the Rockets quickly made personnel adjustments and tactical adjustments.
Just in G1, McHale felt that sense of despair.
The Thunder's offense is too powerful.
The Rockets quickly sent Jeremy Lin and Harden to form a double point guard, and the Rockets' offense gradually became smoother.
Jeremy Lin is still in his prime. He fell around all kinds of times when he was not playing in CBA. He is also in good condition and can arouse the enthusiasm of his teammates through mobilization. He also contributed two emergency stops in the mid-range.
The Rockets took advantage of the Thunder's personnel rotation phase and slowly began to chase points.
Parsons and Harden also made efforts one after another.
Harden's combination of sudden shots has also improved.
Zhao Chen was replaced with 2 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter. Zhao Chen's first quarter statistics were fixed at 16 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.
On the Rockets' side, McHale didn't dare to let Harden off. Harden played the entire first quarter, and the effect was pretty good.
With Harden hitting a step-back three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended with the score fixed at 30-38.
The Thunder gained an 8-point lead.
"The Thunder had the opportunity to continue to expand the score, but they didn't take advantage of it." Barkley said.
"It's already pretty good. It's hard to ask them to do better." Kenny Smith laughed.
Rest between sessions.
Coach Brooks is crazy about Westbrook.
Westbrook's immature handling of the ball in the final stage led to the Rockets' crazy pursuit of points, otherwise the point difference would have been more than double digits.
Zhao Chen raised his head and drank water on the bench.
He was very satisfied with the Thunder's performance in the first quarter, which was much better than when they beat the Grizzlies.
After spraying Westbrook, coach Brooks turned back to Zhao Chen and said: "Zhao, go up and lead us at the beginning of the second quarter and try to keep the point difference as close as possible."
If Zhao Chen starts, the Thunder's second lineup will be weakened.
Neither Westbrook nor Durant is as effective as Zhao Chen in the second team.
Westbrook can organize, but has relatively few offensive methods. Durant can attack, but his organizational skills are poor.
As far as Zhao Chen can organize and attack, coach Brooks doesn't want any surprises in this game.
The second quarter started quickly.
The Rockets' second lineup is Jeremy Lin, Daniels, Garcia, Parsons, and Asik.
On the Thunder side: Zhao Chen, Lamb, Sefolosha, Robertson, Adams.
Jeremy Lin is a rhythm point guard, and his rhythm is not fast.
Daniels moved around Asik's body without the ball, successfully avoided Lamb's defense, and caught the ball and shot from a 45-degree position.
Daniels' shot was crisp and clean! !
"Shua!!"
33 to 38
Lamb shook his head. Compared with other points, this point of his defense was indeed a weak point.
Zhao Chen encouraged Lamb and told him not to pay attention to the mistakes in individual balls.
Thunder offense.
Zhao Chen advanced with the ball.
Jeremy Lin's defensive intensity is not high.
Of course this is relative.
Cover by Adams.
Zhao Chen didn't hesitate at all. While Jeremy Lin was still running around the screen and Asik hadn't pounced on him, he collected the ball and quickly shot a long three-pointer.
This position is still one meter away from the three-point line, but Zhao Chen doesn't look at the distance at all.
The basketball creates a rainbow.
"Uh-huh!"
Pass through the heart! !
33 to 41.
Zhao Chen immediately responded to the Rockets' three-pointer.
