The world of basketball

Chapter 109
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were careful not to allow Mu Xiaobei and Harden to play again. Gasol, who went up to the top, completed the task very well. The Spurs tied the score in the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter. up.

In the 4th minute of the fourth quarter, Mu Xiaobei and Gay came on to replace Kuzma and Adelaide at the same time, and Harden and Gordon came on to replace Paul and Knight at the same time.

Mudiay dribbles the ball from the outside, Mu Xiaobei picks and rolls at the top of the arc, Mudiay goes directly to the left to speed up the assault under the basket, Mu Xiaobei follows up and catches the ball, and scores the ball to the bottom corner. Bullock catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

when--

The ball swiped around, but failed to fall into the net.

Capela took the rebound and passed it to Harden. Harden made the ball very quickly. Gordon in the frontcourt fired directly from outside the three-point line after receiving the pass.

Swah——

Gordon's touch in this game is really very good. At this time, Gordon has made [-] of [-] shots from outside the three-point line, which greatly fills in the loss of Harden and Paul's touch outside the three-point line.

"Return to the defense faster!" Popovich was very dissatisfied with this defense and yelled loudly on the side of the road.

Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc, and then cut outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. Jeremy Lin hit the ground and passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei. .

Guy came out of his pocket and received a hand-off pass from Mu Xiaobei. Seeing that Zhou Qi was blocked by Mu Xiaobei, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

"Shh-"

Gay's emergency stop three-pointer returned the color and pulled the score back.

Harden dribbled the ball wobbly from the outside, Capela came up to pick and roll, Mu Xiaobei shrank his defense, Harden stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

Swah——

Harden hit a three-pointer again.

Harden's three-pointer feeling is picking up, and it seems that the current three-pointer feeling has recovered very well. This is definitely not good news for the Spurs.

Mu Xiaobei rolled his small eyes, wondering what evil thoughts were in his heart.

The Spurs were still playing top of the arc tactics. Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin from a high position, and then Mu Xiaobei cut outside the top of the arc to the three-point line.

Bullock came out with Gay's off-ball screen, Mu Xiaobei handed the ball to Bullock, Bullock faked a shot, and Mu Xiaobei immediately cut inside.

Brock jumped up to pass the ball, and Mu Xiaobei, who cut inside, received the pass and found that Harden behind him hadn't caught up. Mu Xiaobei felt a little dull, so he pulled the green onion on the dry land and dunked.

"Strike wood Xiaobei." Wang Meng said.

"We can see that Mu Xiaobei stopped for a while and glanced back." Su Qun said, "It seems that he is waiting for Harden, thinking to trick Harden into a foul, and Harden is also very nervous. Be cautious and just let Mu Xiaobei go."

"It seems that Mu Xiaobei is also drifting away from the road of old coins." Wang Meng laughed.

Although a dunk was scored, Mu Xiaobei still waved his hand angrily. Anyway, when he saw the leading player on the opposite side, the top scorer on the opposite side was burdened with five fouls, he would have some thoughts.

Harden dribbled the ball left and right outside the three-point line, Capela mentioned the high pick-and-roll, Mu Xiaobei pounced on Harden again, Harden changed directions continuously, but he couldn't shake Mu Xiaobei.

Then, Harden took a step back, Mu Xiaobei didn't dare to attack directly, but shrank his defense.

Harden directly stepped back and hit a jumper.

Mu Xiaobei and Bullock made a cross screen, Harden and Capela switched defenses, and Mu Xiaobei sat in the low post and Harden asked for the ball.

This is a process of fighting wits and courage between the two sides. Mu Xiaobei and Harden are both burdened with five fouls. If they commit another foul, they will be sent off immediately. This is very fatal for both teams.

Mu Xiaobei continued to sit and hit, but he didn't dare to exert too much force on his body. Harden was an expert in drawing fouls, whether it was offensive fouls or defensive fouls.

Then, Mu Xiaobei immediately turned forward, knowing that Harden would not dare to make a move, and then Mu Xiaobei made a layup with a low hand against Harden.

Harden still called it a pick-and-roll, Capela's top-of-the-arc pick-and-roll, and he also meant that Xiaobei made a foul.

Harden watched Mu Xiaobei pounce on him, he didn't choose to take a step back to shoot the ball, but directly accelerated to go to the basket to kill.He knew that if he chose to take a step back, Mu Xiaobei would rather let go of his shot than risk fouling him, but if it was under the basket, Mu Xiaobei couldn't help it.

Thinking of this, Harden seemed to be oiling the soles of his feet, and accelerated towards the basket. However, when he saw Guy under the basket blocking his offensive line, he couldn't stop the car anymore.

Harden bumped into Gay, and Gay fell immediately.

"Beep——" the referee blew his whistle, clenched his fist and swung his fist hard.

Offensive foul!

"Oh—" the home fans were a little surprised, but more happy.

The referee watched the video replay repeatedly, and the scene just now was shown on the big screen.

From ancient times to the present, it is difficult to determine the penalties for offensive fouls and blocking fouls. How to judge depends on the positions of the players on both sides when physical contact occurs.

Obviously, Gay's position was very positive this time, and Harden hit Gay head-on.

Offensive foul, no doubt about it.

Harden is still communicating with the referee. This is the stage of the playoffs. Harden is about to leave the field with six fouls, and this sixth foul is a vaguely defined offensive foul and blocking foul.

But these referees have been doing it for many years. In other words, it is not too much for them to watch Harden grow up.

Many times Harden uses the rules to make fouls to win free throws, and the referee can only make penalties, but since you have used the rules, when others also use the rules and are against you, you have to admit it.

Harden wanted to knock Mu Xiaobei down, so the Spurs could naturally do the same.

The most important thing is that this is indeed an offensive foul with the ball. No matter how D'Antoni and Harden argued, the referee still did not change his penalty.

Harden six offenders!

All the home fans stood up and cheered. Harden had just opened up his touch and shooting rhythm, but he left the field with six fouls in less than 6 minutes of the fourth quarter. It seemed that the Rockets' situation became a bit difficult.

We all know that in a best-of-seven series, a big score of [-]-[-] and a big score of [-]-[-] are two completely different concepts.

Popovich requested a timeout instead of chasing after the victory. He needs to make other arrangements and formations without Harden.

Mu Xiaobei patted Guy on the shoulder, it can be said that Guy made a great contribution to the foul this time.

"There is an old saying in China that repays the other with the way of the other, and this time it just came true." Mu Xiaobei said.

Popovich hammered Mu Xiaobei's head, and said in a deep voice: "There is an old saying in China that a proud soldier must be defeated. The game is not over yet, what are you talking about here?!"

Indeed, even if Harden is off, there are more than six minutes left in the game, the Rockets, Paul Gordon, Anthony Zhou Qi, Tucker Capela, etc., they are still a very strong team, and they must not be taken lightly.
