The world of basketball

Chapter 110

There is an old saying in China that you can press the gourd and get the scoop. For the Spurs, this is the current experience.

It was hard to get Harden down, it took a lot of effort, wits and courage, and the risk of Mu Xiaobei being sent off, finally got Harden down.

The whole Spurs team celebrated, celebrating continuously around Gay.

But after D'Antoni put up Paul, Gordon, Tucker, Ennis and Zhou Qi's lineup, Paul directly beat the Spurs into the circle after making two consecutive three-pointers.

???

Yes, I just said that the Rockets are not just Harden, but Paul Gordon and other former All-Stars, their system, and their D'Antoni.

In fact, when a team has many superstars, there will always be such a situation. It is impossible to limit all the superstars. For example, the Warriors' Big Four. It is already very difficult to limit one Curry, and it is basically difficult to limit one Durant. It's just impossible, plus they still have Thompson on the outside to contain them, Cousins ​​is overwhelmed on the inside.

How to prevent this?How can this be prevented?
The same is true for the Rockets. Harden is the core of their offense, but it doesn't mean that the Rockets can't play without Harden.

Popovich scolded his disciples on the sidelines. They need to sort out their mood. Of course, without the Harden Rockets, they are a little uncomfortable after all. On the offensive end, not only lacks firepower, but also lacks a tactical starting point and organization point.

Mu Xiaobei worked carefully, and the players on the field also calmed down. The Spurs continued to chase points. With 2 minutes left in the game, the Spurs trailed by one point, and the Rockets requested a timeout.

At this time, Mu Xiaobei's caution played a big role. When the Rockets could want to make Mu Xiaobei foul, Mu Xiaobei insisted on not fouling and came to the final stage.

After the timeout, Paul asked Zhou Qi to come over for a pick-and-roll. In the final stage, Paul's touch was very heaven-defying, as if there was a domineering bonus in the dark.

Mu Xiaobei defended from the outside, stuck close to Paul, and took small steps under his feet. After all, Paul's knees were not as good as before, shaking continuously but without the explosive power of his youth.

Then, Paul took a step back and shot a three-pointer. Mu Xiaobei's defense interfered with Paul's sight, and Paul missed the three-pointer.

After Mu Xiaobei set a pick and roll for Jeremy Lin, he immediately cut outside, received a pass from Jeremy Lin and shot a three-pointer directly.

when--

Mu Xiaobei also failed to make a three-pointer.

"Xiaobei was a little anxious to play this wood. This is not a good opportunity, and the game is still long, so there is no need to be so anxious." Wang Meng said.

"It can be seen that Paul's two three-pointers made Mu Xiaobei's mentality a little unbalanced. The so-called killing is terrible, but killing one's heart is even more terrifying. Paul's two three-pointers gave the Rockets confidence and also extinguished the Spurs. Some enthusiasm." Su Qun said.

Paul pulled Mu Xiaobei out again, dribbled the ball continuously from the outside, and then missed a shot from outside the three-point line-he seemed to have suddenly lost his touch.

Mu Xiaobei received the long rebound, Jeremy Lin immediately went down, Mu Xiaobei accurately found Jeremy Lin who was going down with a long pass, Jeremy Lin put Gordon on the basket and scored.

The Spurs lead by one point!
"Jeremy Lin with a good shot, Mu Xiaobei is very fast on the ball, and the Spurs' counterattack in this series is really good, and it often has unexpected effects." Wang Meng said.

Paul called Zhou Qi to pick and roll again, and Mu Xiaobei pulled out to defend Paul, but this time Paul didn't go up.

As a historical level point guard, as the team's commander, he knows that he must keep his head clear. At this time, he must end the offense for the person who has the most chance, and the most important thing is to bring the score back.

Gordon then came out of Tucker's pick-and-roll, Paul passed the ball in time, Gordon fired directly from outside the three-point line, and the trajectory of the ball was very positive.

Swish - it didn't go into the net hollowly, the ball didn't fall into the net after two laps, Kuzma protected the rebound and passed it to Jeremy Lin.

Mu Xiaobei once again made a high pick-and-roll, then cut outside to catch the ball, and shot a three-pointer directly.

when--

The three-pointer failed to hit again.

In the final stage, Mu Xiaobei's three-pointer didn't feel good.

"Oh, Mu Xiaobei still missed a three-pointer. This is not good news for the Spurs. With 44 seconds left in the game, the Spurs' one-point lead is not safe," Wang Meng said.

"Mu Xiaobei's physical strength at the last moment was a little bit unsustainable. This is the shortcoming that he needs to improve the most during the offseason." Su Qun said, he blamed Mu Xiaobei for failing to hit two three-pointers in a row. North's strength.

Paul dribbles outside looking for an opportunity, Zhou Qi mentions the high pick-and-roll, Paul accelerates to the basket, Zhou Qi cuts to the top of the arc, Mu Xiaobei pounces, Zhou Qi makes a three-pointer.

when--

still none.

In the last few minutes, it was as if the blue frames of the two teams were cursed, and no one on either side was able to hit the key ball.

The Spurs and Rockets each had a long timeout, but instead of using it, Popovich stood on the sidelines and said, "It's OK! It's OK!"

Indicates that the team is still playing normally.

Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin from outside. After the pick-and-roll, Mu Xiaobei still cut outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and then made a direct shot from outside the three-point line.

Zhou Qi didn't dare to bet on Mu Xiaobei's touch, so he tried to interfere with Mu Xiaobei as much as possible.

But Mu Xiaobei received the ball, and after receiving the ball, Mu Xiaobei accelerated and rushed to the basket, and Tucker came to defend him.

It's too late, Tucker thought, Mu Xiaobei couldn't easily get these two points, Tucker hugged Mu Xiaobei with a big hand, and Mu Xiaobei threw the ball into the air at will when his body was out of balance.

"Beep—" the referee blew his whistle.

Swah——

The ball fell into the basket after hitting the board head-on.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei! This goal is really critical. The Spurs will lead by four points after scoring this free throw. The Rockets can't catch up with the point difference within one round." Wang Meng said.

As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Mu Xiaobei made a steady free throw amidst the cheers of the fans.

With a four-point difference, the Rockets requested a timeout.

Paul still brought Zhou Qi up to play the pick-and-roll, and Mu Xiaobei followed in front of Paul. Paul continued to dribble and shake Mu Xiaobei as if he didn't believe in evil.

Paul took a step sideways, and Mu Xiaobei seemed to have guessed this, followed with his footsteps, stretched his arms as much as possible, and rushed forward when Paul made a move.

boom--

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei! This block should be considered a final decision. The Spurs probably won this game." Wang Meng said.

Yes, the final word, Mu Xiaobei's fall and block shattered the Rockets' hopes of chasing points. Then, as the Rockets fouled, Jeremy Lin made two free throws. The Spurs won again at home and tied the big score at [-]-[-].

Mu Xiaobei let out a long breath, enjoying the cheers from the fans and the praise from his teammates.

In the second game, Mu Xiaobei's loss of a key goal made Mu Xiaobei very tormented. Although domestic fans and Spurs fans are still mostly tolerant and encouraging, not everyone thinks so.

And Mu Xiaobei himself couldn't pass his own test.

But this time, a key three-point shot and a key shot block made Mu Xiaobei sweep away the haze.
