Soon, the second quarter started.
Both teams have not changed their lineups, they are still rotating.
Jeremy Lin initiated a pick-and-roll with Howard, and Jeremy Lin rushed over.
Zhao Chen bypassed the cover and pursued Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin was blocked by Zhao Chen before, but now he didn't dare to hit it by himself. He passed the ball to Garcia in the bottom corner, but Robertson intercepted it!
Facing Zhao Chen's defense, Jeremy Lin made frequent mistakes.
Jeremy Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He finally understood why they were both yellow defenders, but they were so different from Zhao Chen.
In the last game, Jeremy Lin and Zhao Chen didn't face off much, so Zhao Chen went to defend Harden.
Now that Zhao Chen is guarding him, he feels tremendous pressure.
Seeing Robertson steal the ball, Zhao Chen went over to catch the ball.
Defending the pick-and-roll is not too difficult, it just requires teammates to work together.
Defending the pick-and-roll mainly consists of three tricks: squeezing, bypassing, and switching.
Zhao Chen used a circling method to defend against Jeremy Lin's pick-and-roll, which put tremendous pressure on Jeremy Lin, forcing him to handle the ball in the face of high-pressure defense from the front and back.
This way of handling the ball is prone to mistakes.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
The Rockets did not double attack in the second quarter.
Double-checking a player requires changing the entire team's defensive system, and it is impossible for defensive players to stay focused every round.
"Fuck him!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
The Thunder fans at the scene kept cheering Zhao Chen on.
Neither Westbrook nor Durant are on the court, and Zhao Chen is the absolute core on the court.
Thunder fans also like to watch Zhao Chen's personal offense.
Zhao Chen did not throw the ball after reaching the top of the arc, but asked his teammates to open up the space.
After the other three people opened up the space, Adams came up with a cover.
Zhao Chen doesn't want to play alone, but also initiates a pick-and-roll.
Adams's screen was better than Howard's screen just now, and Zhao Chen broke in with the help of Adams' screen.
Jeremy Lin also continued to pursue Zhao Chen, and Howard continued to guard Adams.
Zhao Chen didn't rush in rashly, Adams followed suit, and now there are big men inside.
Zhao Chen's back kept blocking Jeremy Lin's forward position, and then looked for opportunities to attack.
Jeremy Lin didn't dare to make too big a move. In the end, Zhao Chen chose to attack with a throw in the face of Jones' interference.
Throwing is one of the moves used by defenders to beat big men. Throwing can be very effective in avoiding being blocked by big men.
Zhao Chen's throwing touch is great, and he is also very comfortable throwing between the free throw line and the three-second zone.
Jones jumped hard, but the basketball just slipped past the top of his fingertips.
The arc of this ball is huge!
Falling into the basket.
"Uh-huh!"
29 to 36
Zhao Chen's soft touch is the ultimate expression.
"Honestly, I don't know what offensive moves Zhao Chen doesn't know. Three-pointers, mid-range throws, breakthroughs, post-ups, pull-ups... He is as versatile as Kobe, and his three-pointers are better than Kobe's. More precise.”
"Idiot upstairs, there are many things Zhao Chen can't do, such as Carter's death dunk, such as Shark's bloody dunk, such as Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence..."
"Well, I'm speechless."
This ultra-high arc throw made the fans watching the ball cheer.
Zhao Chen once again demonstrated the comprehensiveness of his offensive skills.
Both Jones and Howard felt useless, being scored so easily by Zhao Chen.
"Jamie, guard," McHale shouted at Jeremy Lin.
Looking at the head coach's expression, Jeremy Lin doubted whether he could stay in the Rockets.
As long as the Rockets don't attack him like crazy, Zhao Chen can create scoring opportunities on his own.
Neither side scored the ball in the next few rounds.
The head coaches on both sides also called the starting players to the technical table, ready to rotate at any time.
Rockets offense.
The Thunder's home court advantage became more and more obvious. After the second team widened the point difference, the Thunder fans became completely excited.
Jeremy Lin took the ball and advanced.
Howard helped Jeremy Lin keep blocking Zhao Chen on the road.
Zhao Chen discovered that Jeremy Lin's pressing defense was very useful, so he continued to put pressure on him.
This makes it difficult for Jeremy Lin to play the ball.
"Zhao Chen's defense suppressed Jamie and made him breathless." Barkley shouted.
"His defense can make the All-NBA team," Kenny Smith said.
Jeremy Lin reluctantly passed the ball to Howard.
Howard was very depressed when he was playing with the second team. He could never catch the ball. He felt that all his strength was used on cotton and was of no use.
Howard jumped inside and hit a hook from the front! !
With too much force, the ball bounced off the basket.
Zhao Chen went back and grabbed the rebound.
"The gap between the Rockets' second team and the Thunder's second team is too big. Zhao and Jamie are not players of the same level." Kenny Smith said.
Jeremy Lin was hard pressed by Zhao Chen during this period.
Thunder offense.
Zhao Chen did not advance with the ball himself, but gave the ball to Fisher.
Fisher is very experienced in controlling the rhythm, and now the advantage lies with the Thunder.
After Fisher arrived in the frontcourt, he directed Zhao Chen to run, and then gave him a single.
Zhao Chen started running and ran around the ball-free screen from a 45-degree position on the right side to successfully catch the ball.
After a series of screens, it was Howard who switched to guard Zhao Chen.
Howard didn't dare to be careless and kept an open hand and kept a close eye on Zhao Chen.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhao Chen made a few rapid changes of direction first, and Howard swayed with Zhao Chen's rhythm.
Zhao Chen forced his way to Howard's right side. Howard initially thought that Zhao Chen was taking a step back and did not follow, but found that Zhao Chen had simply thrown him away.
Zhao Chen left a back for Howard.
Jones was still guarding the basket. Howard went out, but he couldn't go out.
Zhao Chen easily got an open mid-range opportunity.
Emergency stop jump shot!
"Uh-huh!"
29 to 38.
The scene was filled with cheers. Zhao Chen completely took over the scoring of the second team. This was completely different from the sluggish start of the first quarter.
Zhao Chen shouted to Howard who was going to serve: "It's easier to cross you than to cross the road."
Howard took the ball and hit the floor hard. He was very depressed!
In the next round, there was a dead ball on the spot, and McHale asked Jones to hug Zhao Chen.
Unable to watch it anymore, Jeremy Lin was replaced by Harden, and Howard was also replaced by Asik.
The second team only scored 3 points after Harden came off the court.
"Judging from the score, the Thunder are ahead by a lot, but it does not represent the momentum of the two teams. For a long time in this game, the momentum belonged to the Rockets." Yu Jia said.
"Yes, no one thought that Zhao Chen would explode so directly. Brooks made a wise choice. He asked Zhao Chen to lead the second team instead of Durant, but should he also let Zhao Chen take a break?" Zhang Weiping said.
Zhao Chen has not rested for even a minute since the start of the game.
But Brooks obviously had no intention of letting Zhao Chen rest. After sending Durant on, Brooks still shouted to Zhao Chen: "Zhao, continue your singles, don't worry about KD, just do it your way."
Zhao Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Brooks' style of fucking superstars has not changed at all.
