Chapter 112 Sudden Changes

Returning to Houston again, the two sides seem to have returned to the starting point, and the battle ended in a [-]-[-] draw.

After four games, both sides are more familiar with each other, and they are both changing, adjusting their playing styles, and using their strengths to avoid weaknesses.

After Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll with the ball for Mudiay from a high position, he immediately cut outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Capela, who shrank his defense, immediately pounced on it.

As for Mu Xiaobei outside the three-point line, they no longer dare to take it lightly. Mu Xiaobei's fake shot didn't shake Capela away. Kung Fu.

Mu Xiaobei stood sideways, holding the ball in his hand, and passed the ball to Kuzma. After Kuzma got the ball, Mu Xiaobei immediately cut inside, Kuzma passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei, and Tucker guarded the basket Next, Mu Xiaobei dribbled the ball vigorously to Tucker and suddenly turned around, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Adelaide.

Alder made an open shot and hit a mid-range jumper, giving the Spurs the lead.

"Strike Adelaide, the Spurs' cooperation is smooth and smooth, and the tacit understanding and chemical reaction between them are already in place." Wang Meng said.

"Yes, Popovich is a person who pays great attention to teamwork. The players under him all have very strong focus and execution. Their team is playing steadily, which is the most important reason for them to reach the third place in the Western Conference. The reason." Su Qun said.

"This scene must be very familiar to Spurs fans. The Spurs have already played very proficiently. Mu Xiaobei's pass after the cut is what he trains every day." Su Qun said.

Harden beckoned Cape to pick and roll from outside the three-point line. Mu Xiaobei shrank his defense and didn't rush up. He was testing how Harden felt with the ball.

Harden then retreated and shot a three-pointer directly. Mudiay just squeezed through the pick-and-roll, and his elbow was not blocked in time. Harden hit the front of the basket with a three-pointer.

Ade stuck Tucker, received the rebound, and handed the ball to Mudiay.

Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Mudiay from outside the three-point line. Mudiay accelerated to the left and rushed towards the basket.

Mu Xiaobei dribbled the ball out, with Paul stuck behind his back, and after a bit of dribble, he made an extremely weird throw.

Swah——

The ball went hollow into the net.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei, this shot is very clean and neat, a bit like Duncan." Wang Meng said.

"Yes, Mu Xiaobei's basic skills in post-up singles are very solid, whether it's footwork or some small details, he plays steadily and steadily. Although his physical fitness is not considered strong, his technique can make up for his physical disadvantages. " Su Qun added.

Paul dribbled the ball outside and asked Capela to come up for a pick-and-roll. Mu Xiaobei still didn't push up. Paul accelerated and rushed to the basket. Mu Xiaobei and Mudiay quickly switched defenses, but Paul made an emergency stop. North, and then suddenly accelerated to the basket, Mudiay came over to defend, and after Paul's high throw, Capela received the pass and directly scored an alley-oop dunk.

"For a good shot, Paul's sudden stop and quick start rhythm change can be called a master level. Mu Xiaobei has a relatively high center of gravity and is easy to be swayed." Wang Meng said.

"Mu Xiaobei's big defense and small ability should be regarded as the best in the fifth position in this league, but he will still be swayed by Paul. This is why we often say that the light cannon combination and the fifth position pick-and-roll form a defense and then singles It's the Rockets' nuclear weapon, because basically there is no fifth position that can defend against Harden and Paul's fights." Wang Meng said.

"The Rockets have an advantage in the Spurs' lineup, but they find that the Spurs are not that easy to play. In addition to the Spurs' own culture is very tough, another reason is that Mu Xiaobei's ability to defend small is the top in the league. , so that Harden and Paul are a little bit deflated on the perimeter." Su Qun added.

"But it's a pity that Xiaobei couldn't defend the ball, but I still hope that the fans in front of the screen don't often imitate Paul's sudden stop and quick start, which puts too much load on the knees, ankles and other joints." Wang Meng joked. .

Mu Xiaobei made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Kuzma. Kuzma came out from the center line to the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Mudiay gave the ball to Kuzma.

Kuzma received the ball and passed it to Lonnie Walker on the outside. Walker accelerated to the basket, and then passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei from the base. Mu Xiaobei turned around and scored the ball.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei, his low-post skills are really solid." Wang Meng said.

Mu Xiaobei has already scored four points in the second and second. Although they are all in the low position, it seems that Mu Xiaobei is in a very good state now.

Paul passed the ball to Harden, and Harden dribbled the ball continuously to single Lonnie Walker, and then took a step back to meet Walker's defensive three-point line and shot directly.

"Shh-"

Harden's step-back three-point rhythm is very good, and the three-pointer hits directly.

"It seems that this game will be a very close match again," Wang Meng said.

"Yeah, Mu Xiaobei and Ade feel good inside, Harden can also hit outside, probably this very important battle of Tianwangshan will be another very anxious game." Su Qun said.

Adelaide turned his back and stuck Tucker firmly. Mudiay lobbed Adelaide high.

When—the ball hit Blueneck, Tucker received the rebound.

But, but, but, the heart-wrenching scene came again.

Alder hugged his knee for no reason, rolling in pain, the Spurs had no intention of returning to defense, Harden made the ball, and Capela dunked easily.

The team doctor rushed in, this time the team doctor looked very serious, and Ade was holding his knees and couldn't get up for a long time. The team doctor said something in Ade's ear, and Ade said something nervously, the team doctor shook his head .

The referee's big screen repeatedly played back Adelaide's shooting action just now. Tucker is still far away from Adelaide, and it is far from possible to step on it. There was a transparent person under Ade's feet, as if he was injured.

The team doctors urgently carried Adelaide onto the stretcher, trotted all the way out of the field, and carried him to the locker room for an emergency examination.

The ancient Chinese paid attention to luck. It is said that when a person is unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck between his teeth. Ade is like being cursed. Just a simple jump shot can cause serious injuries.

But the game will not stop because of this sudden change, the process of the game will continue, Popovich requested a timeout to stabilize the mood of the players.

This suspension Popovich did not arrange any tactics or say anything, he just arranged for Gasol to replace Adelaide.

In fact, he was also in a mess.
