"Warcraft is still not calm. It's too easy to get carried away."
Zhang Weiping sighed.
"His talent is excellent, but his immature mentality has restricted his development."
Yu Jia added.
In the box, Xu Xin and Yao Mai were also discussing the same topic.
"Just now I saw Asik arguing with him, and I felt like something big was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to happen."
Xu Xin smiled.
"The World of Warcraft is world-class below the neck, but it's hard to say above the neck."
Maddie teased.
"Asik took the stool out just now and controlled the heat just right."
Yao Ming couldn't help but laugh.
"The referee is still watching the replays over and over again. If it's not good, he will be expelled directly."
Maddie said.
"The possibility is very high. The follow-up actions of Warcraft just now are enough to judge."
Xu Xin agreed.
"Asik is really full of evil, even more wicked than you."
Yao Ming patted Xu Xin's shoulder and smiled.
"I'm very noble, okay."
Xu Xin rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Did not see it."
McGrady also joined the camp of teasing Xu Xin.
"Look, the referee is about to announce the penalty result."
Xu Xin quickly changed the topic. There was no way to talk today. He finally saw that the two of them were in the same group.
"After review, Warcraft committed a second-level flagrant foul and was expelled."
The referee looked into the camera and announced the penalty.
"Sure enough, as we just discussed, the monsters were expelled."
Zhang Weiping said.
"Next, the Nuggets will be hard to play. Only Warcraft has the ability to attack independently. Others, including Faried, mainly rely on teammates' passes and second offensive opportunities after scrambling for offensive rebounds to score. "
Yu Jia said.
Hearing the word "expelled", the crowd burst into cheers. This is a good thing. Without Warcraft, the Nuggets' inside strength will be greatly reduced. The winner has appeared, and this game seems to be stable.
When Warcraft heard the penalty, he was so angry that he threw his towel to the ground, cursed and walked back to the locker room. When passing through the player tunnel, he did not forget to kick the billboard angrily. Seeing his angry look, the fans became even happier and shouted his nickname.
Coach Karl was helpless. The expulsion of Warcraft disrupted his game plan. He looked at Gallinari and Chandler and said:
"The next game is up to you. Shoot when you have the opportunity. If the opportunity is not good, call more screens and break through with the ball to cause damage. If you can punish Omer on the opposite side, Kenneth (Faried) will also It’s easier to fight.”
Gallinari and Chandler nodded heavily after hearing this. They obeyed Karl's words and respected him very much.
Compared to the solemn atmosphere on the Nuggets bench, the Rockets bench was much more lively.
"Omer, well done!"
McHale praised.
"I didn't expect him to be so stupid. He took the bait after just a few words."
Asik scratched his head sheepishly.
"He wasn't always this stupid."
Harden laughed.
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Warcraft has been expelled. George Karl's offensive focus must be on Danilo (Gallinari) and Wilson (Chandler). Kenneth (Faried) should also add more Be careful, the three of them will consume some of Warcraft’s ball rights.”
McHale said seriously.
"Don't worry, coach, reward them with Trevor (Ariza) and P.J. (Tucker), and I'm sure they will have no love in their lives."
Harden joked.
When Ariza and Tucker heard their name being called, they also became energetic and ready to play with high spirits.
"Okay, it's really time for us to rotate. There are less than 5 minutes left in this quarter. On the premise of defending well, we must seize the open opportunities. In addition, remember to control mistakes!"
McHale said.
Everyone nodded seriously after hearing this.
After returning from the timeout, Asik first went to the free throw line and executed a technical foul free throw. Unfortunately, his free throw was also unsuccessful and ended in a blackout.
Both sides made substitutions.
For the Nuggets, George Karl replaced the expelled Warcraft, with George Karl replacing the expelled Warcraft. Miller, Chandler, Gallinari and Faried remained unchanged.
Several main players, especially Gallinari and Chandler, play nearly 35 minutes in each game and are model workers on the team.
For the Rockets, Harden, Garnett and Asik rotated normally and took a rest. Replace with Ariza, Tucker and O'Neal.
Butler switches to the No. 2 position and assumes the team's offensive responsibility.
With the Rockets having the ball, Jeremy Lin advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to Butler. From the beginning to now, most of the team's offenses have been initiated by Jeremy Lin, who is really a little tired.
Switching the starting point of the attack is also McHale's established plan.
Butler faced Chandler and chose the weak side to open up singles. Ariza, Tucker and Jeremy Lin all moved to the strong side beyond the three-point line to open up space.
Butler was a triple threat. Seeing that Chandler was not fooled, he immediately turned his back to the basket, stretched his right foot back between Chandler's legs, sensed Chandler's defensive position, and observed the defense of other Denver players. Position.
Seeing that the opponent was not double-teamed, Chandler started to fight with his back. The continuous confrontation was too much for Chandler. He was bounced by Butler's strong upper body. Butler turned around, stepped up and down for a layup, and hit the rebound.
18:11.
"Butler is really tough. Chandler is already relatively strong among the wings in the league, but he still suffers a bit against Butler."
Zhang Weiping praised.
"The Rockets' rotation lineup, with an offensive strength like Butler and no weak links on the defensive end, will usually open up the score."
Yu Jia said.
This is indeed the case on the court. Butler, Ariza, Tucker, and O'Neal are all defensive heroes. Jeremy Lin's recent defensive improvement is also huge. The team has no weak points on the defensive end. It is as hard to break as an iron barrel.
Gallinari ran without the ball and got rid of Ariza with the help of Koufos's lower screen, but the Rockets made substitutions whenever the screen was met.
Butler quickly filled the position and was just in front of Gallinari when he received the ball.
With the ball in hand, Gallinari called another Faried screen, got rid of Butler, and broke through inside, but hit the wall again. Tucker stood upright, blocking Gallinari's path.
Gallinari found it difficult to adapt to the infinite changes and high-pressure defense of the Rockets' forwards. He continued to change directions without getting rid of it. Seeing that there was not enough time, he immediately decided to make a pull-up jumper to bully Tucker's short stature.
Tucker was already prepared. The moment Gallinari raised the ball, he cut off the basketball with one palm.
The movement was so fast that the spectators far away from the court did not see Tucker's movements clearly. They only saw Gallinari baring his teeth and claws in the air, which was very funny.
Tucker controlled the ball and passed it to Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin received the ball and rushed forward. Ariza and Butler followed up on the left and right, and the three-point fast break was clear and organized.
Only Miller and Chandler retreated on the Nuggets' side. Jeremy Lin was in the middle, looking in the direction of Butler on the right, but passed the ball to Ariza on the left while moving.
The latter took three steps after receiving the ball and dunked with both hands easily and happily, 20:11.
