It was Reggie Evans whose presence was very limited in the first half.
"Wow, this is what Evans should do. The Nets' role players have limited offensive capabilities. They should be like Evans, actively fighting and striving for second offensive opportunities."
Yang Yi said.
"mine."
Garnett raised his hand to indicate that he was not stuck in position just now, allowing Evans behind him to pick the peach.
The Rockets attack and Harden advances with the ball. This time the Nets change their strategy again. Since the double team attack in advance has no effect, they will lead the whole court defense and consume you.
Wallace kept harassing Harden from the moment he caught the ball. Harden was indeed affected a bit while dribbling the ball halfway, almost violating an eight-second violation.
Coming to the frontcourt, Harden saw that Wallace was very motivated and would be exhausted when playing alone, so he immediately called on Garnett to pick and roll in the high post.
Harden used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Wallace. After the pick-and-roll, Garnett bounced out to attract the defense. Harden faced Evans in one step and rushed to the free throw line. Facing Luo's defense, Harden passed the ball without looking at anyone. , hit the ground to find Asik, who dunked with both hands.
84:67.
The Nets attacked, but this time Los Angeles still had difficulty catching the ball. Deron found Joe Johnson, who took a decisive step outside the three-point line.
"Bang!"
Still forging iron.
Garnett stayed in position this time, protected the backcourt rebound, and handed it to Harden immediately.
Harden wanted to push for a counterattack, but was blocked hard by Wallace. He was delayed for a while. Then he wanted to make a long pass to find his teammates. The Nets' defense was already in place.
I could only play positional warfare. I came to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Garnett again. This time Garnett chose to follow the pick-and-roll.
Harden encountered a big delay from Evans when going around the pick-and-roll, and Wallace was already in place behind him.
Faced with a double siege, Harden jumped up to score the ball and found Garnett who came down near the free throw line. Daluo quickly made up the defense.
The Wolf King's master-level second pass, without stopping the ball, directly found Asik in the paint. Asik easily took the cake under the basket and dunked with both hands. Playing high and low is called a mercury-filled ground.
86:67.
"Garnett passed the ball so wonderfully. It has a lot of shadows of Odom back then. In the Lakers' triangle offense, Odom played such a role near the free throw line."
Yang Yi analyzed.
Looking back, Garnett had the advantage and saw Deron forcing his way into the paint. Garnett calculated his steps accurately and came out from behind. He relentlessly chased the shot and made Deron the backdrop.
What's even more exciting is yet to come. The basketball fell near the baseline and bounced out of bounds. The Wolf King reacted quickly, jumped up, grabbed the basketball with one hand before it hit the ground, aimed at Deron's sneakers and smashed it, but Deron couldn't dodge and was hit hard.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew and the ball went out of bounds. The last person to touch the basketball was Deron, who played the ball in the backcourt.
Coming to the offensive end, Garnett took the initiative to ask for the ball. He was very excited about the second pass and chasing blocks just now.
Garnett took the ball with his back and showed off his coquettish steps in front of Evans. He shook his shoulders and made a fake move to sway Evans. He reached in with one arm raised to the sky and made a powerful and heavy one-handed dunk, which ignited the fans' excitement. enthusiasm.
88:67.
Carlesimo shook his head and smiled bitterly, applying for a timeout.
In less than five minutes, the score difference reached 21 points. He could see that the players were trying their best on the court. In the final analysis, it was the difference in strength, which made him helpless.
"The Rockets were serious in the second half. Asik's half-circle to catch the ball, Garnett's sweeping inside, Harden, Ariza and Butler's marking on the outside were all done well. The Nets' offensive efficiency was obvious. reduce.
As for the Rockets' offense, they haven't missed a shot since the beginning of this quarter. Harden first scored points through his personal ability, then created opportunities for his teammates, and then Garnett's low post singles just now. Every round was impeccable. "
Yang Yi praised.
After the timeout, the Nets improved on the offensive end. Deron and Luo played the pick-and-roll vigorously, but the defensive end was still powerless.
Harden relied on his personal ability to make sudden shots from inside and outside, and scored another 5 points.
After the Nets played two pick-and-rolls, they were once again in trouble on the offensive end.
The Rockets focused their defense on the duo of Deron and Luo. The two were tightly guarded, and Deron had to look for Joe Johnson who had opportunities on the outside.
The latter missed consecutive shots and scored 16 points in the first half of the second quarter. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden power outage in the second half and has not scored a point until the third quarter.
Halfway through the third quarter, McHale performed a personnel rotation, which really made Yang Yi right. The Rockets really used the two-guard combination of Iverson and Jeremy Lin in the transition period.
McHale played five up and five down, replacing five main players and replacing them with O'Neal Jr., Tucker, Gerald Green, Iverson and Jeremy Lin.
Iverson started his personal attack as soon as he came up, hitting consecutive mid-range shots, making Deron desperate.
Iverson habitually exerts force in the connection section. Even if Deron is careful, he still can't stop his rampage. The top pick of the golden generation, do you think it’s a joke?
Yang Yi was also full of praise for Iverson's performance:
"I originally thought that Xu Xin signed this contract just to sell tickets, but now it seems that I was completely wrong. Iverson's condition has really returned to at least six years ago.
McHale was very restrained in using him, letting him play for about 15 minutes in each game, but he was very efficient on the offensive end. After these few games, he averaged 13+3 per game and his shooting percentage was an astonishing 58%. You must know that this is a defender, and many inside players cannot do it. "
On the Nets side, Joe Johnson still couldn't find his sights, and Wallace and Evans had no chance. On the offensive end, only Deron and Luo were struggling to support them.
Deron hit a mid-range jumper, 104:80.
Looking back, after you sing, I will appear on the stage, and Jeremy Lin starts to play.
He caught the ball on the wing, faked a shot to deceive Joe Johnson's center of gravity, accelerated towards the inside, faced the defense, showed off his agile steps, and hit a mid-range jumper before the opponent's defense was in place.
106:80.
With 28 seconds left in the game, Jeremy Lin just grabbed a two-for-one opportunity.
Joe Johnson pressed the clock and faced Jeremy Lin with a back-up push and then turned around and shot a jumper.
"Bang!"
Still missed.
The basket that changed half court seemed to be blocked, frequently rejecting Joe Johnson's shots.
O'Neal Jr. protected the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin immediately.
With 6 seconds left in the attack time, Jeremy Lin rushed forward, dribbled past Joe Johnson behind his back, rushed to the inside without losing speed, hovered in the air, pulled the lever, and hit a backhand layup, just before the end of the quarter. .
This composition of looking back at the moon is very enjoyable to watch, elegant, free and easy, free and easy.
At 108:80, the Rockets won by 16 points in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the point difference had reached 28 points. After three quarters, the game had basically lost its suspense.
