Chapter 176
With Xie Kai's dunk, he scored 5 points in a row, and the Kings evened the score!A timeout was also entered on the sidelines. Obviously, this timeout was called by the Rockets.
The scene fell into a brief silence, and Xie Kai stopped the game with his own power!But soon, the fans in the arena fell into joy in an instant. This wave of individual performances was really cool to watch, and it was cool. You must know that the opponent was Ariza who was trained as the "successor of McGrady"!
At this time, Xie Kai's shooting percentage went from 11 of 3 shots to 12 of 4 shots, which continued to improve.
"Director Zhang, Xie Kai's shots are getting more and more accurate!" Sun Zhengping said with a smile.
Zhang Weiping seemed very calm and determined: "I said it at the beginning, play hard and decisively, and you will definitely gain something. Thank you, this guy looks really good, he must have watched a lot of Kobe's Game video!"
Back from the timeout, the Rockets immediately replaced Budinger and other substitute players, and replaced the starters.For coach Adelman, being criticized by the outside world for the main force has been ignored, and winning is the last word.One thing he knows very well is that if he falls too far behind in an away game, and the right time, place and people are on the opponent's side, it is really not easy to press down.He didn't have Yao Mai's "big killer" pair at the scene, so the hole couldn't be dug too big, otherwise it might not be able to fill it.
The game continued.Obviously, in this game, for this sake, no one wants to lose.
In the next few minutes, the two teams played back and forth, almost like a playoff game.
The game reached the last minute and more. At this time, the Kings led by 1 points at 100:97.
Rockets ball rights!
Brooks catches the screen at the top of the arc and breaks through forcibly, walking in the middle, but who knows that Xie Kai suddenly appears outside the 3-second zone line!He stood upright and did not move his feet.
Xiao Bu didn't brake in time and knocked down Xie Kai!
"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded—offensive foul!
There were cheers everywhere, and there were quite a few gloating people. The penalty of this ball is very critical. If Xie Kai blocked the foul, because he has already entered the "Bonus", then Xiaobu will get two free throws.With his free throw ability, it is possible to reduce the score to 1 point.
Coach Adelman appealed to the referee, and the referee insisted on his penalty, ignored it, and warned him that if he continued to babble, he would be given a technical foul.
A few rows behind the Rockets bench are canceling. Adelman can't afford to lose. I think he was awesome when he was in the Kings. Now that he is in the Rockets, he still wants to lead the new team to abuse the old team. Huh, door nothing!
Ah Shuai could only swallow his anger and fight with the referee. 100% of the injured were himself and his team.He didn't care about the provocations of the fans in the stands. He was past the age where he would get angry because of such provocations.
The Kings won the ball, and there was 1 minute and 21 seconds left before the end of the game.
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Tyreke Evans dribbled over, and he controlled the rhythm at the top of the arc.Obviously, the team is currently leading by 3 points and still owns the ball. The balance of victory has been tilted towards itself. It seems that the 4-game winning streak is no longer out of reach, but more and more within reach.
Xiaobu came up to defend and tried to steal the ball.Obviously, the opponent expected to press the shot until the last moment to control the time.But for the home team, time is the most precious thing.
Evans turned his back to Xiaobu, taking advantage of his size to prevent the opponent from coming over to steal the ball.
The fans of the home team at the scene were very nervous, and many people had already stood up to watch the game.This wave of offense is particularly critical for the home team. If it can be achieved, the possibility of winning 4 consecutive victories will greatly increase; but if it fails, the opponent may even the score in one round of offense.
Although Evans is 198cm tall, he is quite stable in handling the ball. It is really not an easy task for Xiaobu who is 180cm to steal the ball.Of course, Xiaobu is also a mouse-throwing tool. Both sides have reached the "Bonus", and blindly shooting the opponent to the free throw line is too bad for them.
With 10 seconds left on the shot clock, Evans started the…
Hawes came up to pick and roll!
Because Hawes has excellent outside shooting ability as a big man, the Rockets directly choose to switch defenses!
Evans VS Scola!
"Diamond" is a good player on the offensive end, but when it comes to defense, it is not his strong point.It's just that he has inherited the cunning and chicken thieves of South American players. On the defensive end, he not only has first-class acting skills, but also has a lot of small moves, which is not easy to deal with.
The reason why the Rockets dared to switch defenses so directly was because the Kings' insider Hawes had excellent shots, but let him hold the ball outside the 3-point line, and there was no way to face Xiaobu; Evans could indeed rush and shoot. Stability has always been a big problem for him!
——At critical moments, any shortcomings of a player will be targeted by the opponent, which is why some players played well in the regular season, but they were targeted so badly that they couldn't even play in the playoffs.
Of course, Evans will not give the ball to Hawes at this time, and let the latter face Xiaobu.He still believes in himself more, and can lead this wave of offense when facing the opponent's misplaced defense.
Scola gave Evans a long shot, but his position was not completely released.This position is very subtle, it seems to seduce the opponent to take a long shot, and welcome the opponent to break through.
At this time, Evans still believes in his breakthrough!He changed direction and used his explosive power and speed, trying to forcefully overtake Scola!
Diamond is not an idle person either. Amidst the exclamation of the fans, he kept backing away, constantly fighting and interfering with his opponents, disrupting the opponent's rhythm with small movements from time to time.
Evans rushed inside and fell into the opponent's trap.He was double-teamed and couldn't make a shot!
Time was running out, he jumped high, trying to find a chance to make a shot by bouncing, but he was disappointed.At the moment when he was about to land a violation, he threw it near the baseline in despair, and then resigned himself to his fate.
Under normal circumstances, this position will have its own teammates.But the problem is that his passing strength and direction are not accurate at this time, and the attack time is really only a little bit.
Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Xie Kai received the ball to the limit, and at the moment when he was about to cross the baseline, he jumped up and threw the ball in the air with almost one foot...
"Shooting from a negative angle, good guy, Xie Kai is really brave—" Director Zhang sitting in the CCTV studio couldn't help shouting.
Ariza, who defended Xie Kai, judged from his basketball career that the probability of scoring this goal was extremely low, not to mention that Xie Kai's previous 3-pointers were a mess.
In the surprised eyes of the fans at the scene, Xie Kai's 3-pointer finally hit the net accurately!
