"Westbrook's absence has caused some trouble for the Thunder. Let's see how Zhao Chen plays next." Kenny Smith said.
"The Rockets played much better in this game than the last one, and Dwight Howard's performance is also crucial. He showed great power in the paint. Let's see if the second team he leads can form a balance with the Thunder. " Barkley said.
The Rockets don't have a score advantage, but everyone can feel their advantage.
The Thunder didn't have the same kind of crushing as last time.
This made the fans at home a little worried. The impact of the lack of Westbrook was greater than they imagined.
Fisher, Zhao Chen, Sefolosha, Robertson, Adams.
Brooks fielded almost a full bench.
On the Rockets' side are Jeremy Lin, Casspi, Garcia, Jones, and Howard.
Jeremy Lin is a guard who is good at playing pick-and-rolls, and McHale hopes that he will form a chemical reaction with Howard.
Thunder's offense, Fisher dribbled the ball through half court.
Fisher hasn't played for a long time because of Zhao Chen's rise, and Fisher doesn't care.
Fisher's career has reached the end, and he now serves in the players' union. His goal is to be the head coach of a team after retiring.
Compared with playing time, Fisher pays more attention to his willingness to deal with the relationship with the super giant.
Brooks used him in Westbrook's absence because of his personality and experience.
Zhao Chen did not encounter a double attack without the ball. Fisher arrived in the frontcourt and waited for Zhao Chen to get open.
Zhao Chen was always stuck on the outside. Adams tried several screens but failed. Zhao Chen took advantage of the situation and led Jeremy Lin to the low post.
In the low post on the right, Zhao Chen blocked Jeremy Lin with his back to get the ball.
Fisher gave the ball in.
Zhao Chen immediately hit him from behind.
"boom!"
"boom!"
In addition to a series of face-to-frame skills, Zhao Chen's low-post offense is also good, but his awareness has been ignored.
Zhao Chen continued to hit Jeremy Lin.
At the third impact, Jeremy Lin fell to the ground.
It's just that the referee didn't call the penalty.
Zhao Chen glanced at Jeremy Lin who was lying on the ground and quickly kicked the ground and leaned back. Zhao Chen was very sure that Jeremy Lin was deliberately causing him to foul, so he ignored it.
Picturesque back, beautiful arc!
"Shua!!"
26 to 28.
An arrow pierced the heart, and Zhao Chen hit the mid-range shot.
Jeremy Lin complained to the referee: "Isn't this a foul?"
The referee ignored Jeremy Lin with his whistle in his mouth. The referee didn't watch the ball too carefully, but he felt that Jeremy Lin's fall was a bit exaggerated.
When Zhao Chen, who was passing by, heard this, he shouted to Jeremy Lin: "Stop falling, this trick won't work here."
After Jeremy Lin joined the CBA in his previous life, Zhao Chen watched a lot of his games.
Jeremy Lin's typical style of play is to be knocked down at the first touch.
This is a very bad habit and will only place the game on the referee's whistle.
Respect is respect off the court, but on the court, Zhao Chen doesn't care who is on the opposite side.
Zhao Chen will not be polite on the court just because he is facing Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin glanced at Zhao Chen and stopped arguing.
"In terms of physical confrontation, Zhao Chen is much stronger than Shu Hao." Zhang Weiping said.
"Zhao Chen's physical condition may be the best among yellow people." Yu Jia said.
Rockets offense.
Jeremy Lin caught the ball and dribbled across half court.
Jeremy Lin's eyes were calm.
Jeremy Lin knew that there was a big gap between him and Zhao Chen, so he wanted to use falls to create fouls to restrict Zhao Chen.
I just didn't expect that Zhao Chen would see through it at a glance and be disdained by Zhao Chen.
If he uses this method again, Zhao Chen will look down on him.
Jeremy Lin doesn't want this, he also wants to gain respect with his strength.
After Jeremy Lin came to the frontcourt, he greeted the pick-and-roll with Howard.
The Thunder's defense was very active, and Adams and Fisher switched defenses in a timely manner.
Howard received a pass from Jeremy Lin and tried to hit Fisher but failed. Robertson's double attack came quickly.
Howard had to give the ball back to Jeremy Lin again.
Jeremy Lin changed direction and blocked Zhao Chen's position to break through.
Breakthroughs are Jeremy Lin's specialty, and Zhao Chen will be missed too if he doesn't pay attention.
It's just that Jeremy Lin's absolute speed is not fast, and Zhao Chen has been chasing Jeremy Lin.
Zhao Chen did not exert too much force. He was also wary of Jeremy Lin's sudden slowdown and fouling.
Jeremy Lin can be a master in this area.
Jeremy Lin didn't fully grasp Zhao Chen's position. Seeing that there was room for a layup in front of him, he rushed over and went for a layup.
At the moment of layup.
"boom!"
A big hand firmly covered the basketball and pinned him to the backboard.
The nailboard hat is catching up from behind! !
Zhao Chen's blocks are already at 80 points. Even if he can't block Harden, he is still enough to bully Jeremy Lin.
"Beautiful Chase!"
"We are both of the yellow race, but there is still a huge gap in physical talent."
"It's so hot. Zhao Chen's speed and jumping are obviously better than Jeremy Lin's."
"Jeremy Lin will have a psychological shadow. Zhao Chen's talent will force him to defend and attack."
Hupu netizens were tapping their keyboards one after another.
After the basketball blocked the block, the rebound was picked up by Robertson.
Zhao Chen didn't have any intention of celebrating, he took the ball and stepped forward.
Zhao Chen's organized attack.
Zhao Chen was flanked by Jeremy Lin and Garcia again.
Zhao Chen quickly gave the ball to Fisher on the right, and then ran again.
Adams and Robertson provided an off-ball screen for Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen found a chance to catch the ball at a 45-degree position on the left.
Fisher gives the ball.
Jeremy Lin came over and stayed close.
Zhao Chen immediately launched an attack and broke through directly from the right side.
Jeremy Lin gritted his teeth to fight against Zhao Chen, but he did not interfere with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's body center of gravity was controlled very steadily.
Zhao Chen took two sudden steps and quickly pulled the ball back with his hips, then stepped back continuously.
Jeremy Lin focused all his attention on Zhao Chen's breakthrough, and was immediately thrown away by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen's classic step back jump shot! !
Gorgeous arc!
The basketball circled twice on the rim and then went in.
"Uh-huh!"
26 to 31.
"How many levels are there between Jeremy Lin and Zhao Chen?"
"Zhao Chen's step back is still as charming as ever."
Zhao Chen's step back put Jeremy Lin directly in front of the camera rushing towards the baseline.
This visual effect is explosive.
In this competition just now, the core difference between Zhao Chen and Jeremy Lin lies in their different confrontations.
Zhao Chen can easily adjust his center of gravity, while Jeremy Lin has to do his best to control his center of gravity.
After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen glanced at Jeremy Lin, then raised his hands high, stepped back and cheered.
"Zhao, Chen" DJ shouted at the top of his voice.
Zhao Chen's retreat made the fans on the sidelines think about it.
The fans were all looking up to watch the replay of Zhao Chen's ball.
With a sudden move, a pull, and a retreat, Zhao Chen's retreat steps reached the state of transformation!
It was an extremely simple action for Zhao Chen, but it mesmerized the audience!
....
Zhao Chen's outburst at the end of the first quarter helped the Rockets take the lead.
After the first quarter, the score was 29 to 34, and the Thunder had a 5-point advantage.
