Fortunately, Harden missed the free throw, and the point difference between the two teams was still 10 points.
The Rockets' pursuit of points was very strong, but the Lakers had not completely controlled the situation, and the momentum on the scene seemed to have been halted.
The camera turned its close-up on Zhao Chen, and the fans felt more at ease.
Zhao Chen received Hill's serve and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
Scott's tactic was to secure two points and let Zhao Chen take control of the situation first.
For the Lakers, there is an urgent need to stop the bleeding.
After halftime, Zhao Chen did not rush to stop at the three-point line, but stood at the LOGO position and started observing.
Lakers players are constantly running and alternating screens.
Ariza was guarding Zhao Chen. Ariza instinctively lowered his body to prevent Zhao Chen from breaking through.
In Ariza's opinion, that position was too far away, and it was impossible for Zhao Chen to shoot.
Zhao Chen discovered that Ariza had no intention of guarding the LOGO. He decisively stepped back to collect the ball, stepped on the LOGO and made a jump shot!
Zhao Chen has been paddling for a long time in the third quarter, and he does not need to stay focused for the rest of the period.
Ariza's eyes tightened. This was not a normal play. Ariza immediately pounced on him, but a step too late, Zhao Chen's ball had already flown over his head.
Many fans have grown their mouths and become O-shaped...
The basketball drew an arc and hit the bullseye directly!
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Chen raised his hand high and didn't move. He watched the ball pierce his heart before putting it down!
90 to 103.
"Oh oh oh!!"
"God, it's all there."
"Zhao is so awesome."
"That half-court spot."
"So handsome."
The fans with their mouths open in an O shape let out screams and shouts.
Zhao Chen's shot was so sudden that some fans didn't even react. When they did, they were stunned.
Isn’t this ball meant to be scored steadily?
Why are you so arrogant?
The wave is fine, the key is that it still enters, which is a bit scary.
The fans at the scene were constantly watching the replay.
When Zhao Chen was taking the ball at the logo position and making tactics, his teammates were just running around, and one teammate was still open, but Zhao Chen just stepped back and collected the ball beyond the distance without hesitation! !
Going straight forward, Ariza and Harden's close-up expressions were confused.
"Haha, Zhao Chen's super long three-pointers appeared many times in the first game. I'm afraid he will go crazy this season."
"I can't learn, I can't learn. If I learn, I will be scolded to death by the coach!"
"Zhao Chen's last hand gesture was so show-off, I give him full marks."
"Zhao Chen: Hurry up and help the labor and management move...forget it, I'll do it myself."
"Zhao Chen: I'm within shooting range after half the game! The cannon is booming!"
Domestic fans sent barrages one after another, and Zhao Chen's performance was quite shocking.
The emergence of Zhao Chen made the three-point logo gradually become a trend.
The step back and the LOGO three-pointer are hailed as Zhao Chen's two unique skills in the eyes of many Zhao Chen fans.
On the field, Zhao Chen also raised his hands in defense to celebrate, and the fans at the scene gave loud cheers.
The fans of Hollywood movie stars in the front row were also screaming. They had not been so crazy for a long time.
Scott's expression on the sidelines was also very exciting. He originally thought that Zhao Chen would play tactics, but the reality was that Zhao Chen did it his way.
Zhao Chen's style of play does not rely on tactics, but depends on his personal ability.
As long as the ball goes into the basket, Scott has no problem with it.
"Stick up there and don't let him shoot." McHale became anxious and shouted towards Ariza.
The Rockets suffered this kind of blow from Zhao Chen in the playoffs last season.
Ariza is a new player and has never defended Zhao Chen's move. If it were other Rockets players, they would not make this mistake.
After hearing the coach's words, Ariza shrugged, looking a little helpless.
If you want to defend Zhao Chen alone, you need to imagine such consequences.
Rockets offense.
Harden was very confident after arriving in the frontcourt. He did not ask for tactics, but signaled to open up the space and he would continue to do it himself.
After Harden scored consecutively, his condition and confidence were restored.
Facing Covington, Harden continued to dribble under his hips and then chose a simple step-back jumper.
Covington's defense was very forward.
This time Harden missed, the basketball hit the front of the basket, and Zhao Chen got it.
After Zhao Chen got the rebound, he turned around and pushed for a fast break.
All members of the Rockets were immediately alert and quickly returned to defense.
Ariza chased Zhao Chen.
When Zhao Chen rushed past the half-court LOGO position and was still one meter away from the three-point line, he made an emergency stop and pulled back to collect the ball.
Ariza rushed directly to the bottom line due to inertia, and Zhao Chen had no one in front of him again.
Although it was a super long three-pointer, everyone in the Rockets could already imagine the consequences.
Zhao Chen collected the ball and kicked the ground, jumped up and took the ball.
Zhao Chen's posture combines Thompson and Curry, and matches his rhythm.
The super long three-pointer once again drew a wonderful arc!
"Uh-huh!!!"
An arrow pierces the heart.
90 to 106
After Zhao Chen hit the ball, he shouted to McHale who was sitting on the sidelines at the same position: "Your players can't guard me."
McHale put his hands on his hips and his face was dark.
Ariza was directly pushed out of the bottom line this time and couldn't keep up.
Ariza himself couldn't help it. Zhao Chen's emergency stop and start ability was too strong.
Zhao Chen's style of play is completely unreasonable, and no one can defend against such an attack.
Zhao Chen immediately returned to defense after roaring with McHale.
The Rockets then had Harden stop attacking. Harden chose to play a pick-and-roll with Howard patiently.
But under the leadership of Zhao Chen, the Lakers' defense became more intense, and everyone was working hard to defend.
Hill and Covington cooperated very well, causing Harden and Howard's pick-and-roll to fail.
Harden sent an alley-oop at a critical moment, but Howard was interfered with and failed to jump up completely. Howard knocked the ball out of bounds.
There was constant cheering and the fans stood up to watch the game.
"Zhao Chen has already scored two three-pointers in a row. If there is one more, the Rockets' game will be over."
"Yes, momentum ball, this is momentum ball!"
Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng were explaining.
On the court, Zhao Chen did not ask for tactics, but continued to push forward at high speed.
In the frontcourt, the Rockets were still firmly one-on-one and did not call a timeout. Their tactics could not change immediately.
Facing Ariza's tackle, Zhao Chen showed superb dribbling skills.
left side.
Right!
The basketball is like a jumping elf, controlling the jumping direction in Zhao Chen's left and right hands.
Zhao Chen once again found an opportunity, shook Ariza's center of gravity away and forced a step back to open up space.
Step back combined with a super long three-pointer! !
Zhao Chen was too confident in his feel today.
The basketball was released. As soon as the ball was released, Zhao Chen knew it was there.
Turn around!
Open your hands!
Let the celebration begin!
The fans at the scene jumped up.
"Kakakaka!!!"
The camera freezes this scene! !
If this goal is scored, it will be the top five goals tonight. If it is not scored, it will be the top five goals!
"Uh-huh!"
The first of the five best balls! !
90 to 109! ! !
The Staples Arena was filled with roars of cheers! !
This kind of cheering almost confirms the Lakers' status as the leader in the new season!
Lakers fans will admire Kobe and miss Kobe, but they will not deny that Kobe's era has passed and Zhao Chen's era will usher in here.
Dominate the world! ! !
"pause!!"
Zhao Chen's goal stopped McHale unreasonably!
