NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

During the halftime break, the head coaches of the two teams were also nervously arranging tactics.

For the Lakers, what Monty wants to think about is to limit Harden's pick-and-roll tactics.

As for the Rockets, what they need more is for players to provide firepower.

Because McHale also knew that it was impossible to prevent Chen Tian.

So keep the score within 3 points.

That's what the Rockets need to do most now.

Only in this way can the Rockets compete with the Lakers at the last moment.

Soon the halftime break passed.

The second half of the game between the Rockets and the Lakers is about to start.

After coming back in the second half.

The Lakers also changed their tactics.

From the previous Anthony's main attack, it became Chen Tianlai's main attack.

As for the Rockets, they also made a substitution adjustment at the beginning of the third quarter.

Put Ariza on the bench and replace Thornton to play a three-back tactic.

The rocket's intention is also very obvious, that is to fight against you.

Soon after the start of the third quarter.

The offensive battle between the two teams began.

First, Chen Tian played his part.

Break through with the ball, then make an emergency stop, jump up and make a mid-range shot, and the ball goes in.

Conversely, Harden still borrowed the screen, and then distributed the ball to Thornton who was running open.

Thornton was unhurried, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer from the corner.

The ball enters the net hollow.

I have to say that although the Rockets have always been a stingy team.

But their means of picking up leaks in the free market are still very clever.

Not to mention anything else, this season, the combination of Thornton and Lu Wei on the Rockets' bench.

That is the new season, among the bench guards, the group with the highest scoring efficiency.

This is why the Rockets can still play so well off the bench this season.

In addition, there is a nerve knife like Beasley.

I really have to admire the Rockets' ability to pick up leaks.

Thornton started to play here.

The Rockets' tactics came out.

The magic ball theory that had already appeared in the next season has already taken shape this season.

Of the five players on the court, at least four of them can shoot three-pointers.

So the Rockets' offense improved all at once.

But again, with this method, their defense is nothing.

Because if the three-pointer is not scored, the counterattack from the opposite side will come soon.

This situation, let the two teams in the next time.

It also played a fast-paced game.

Kobe and Jokic were replaced after playing for 2 minutes.

Chen Tian also led Green, Anthony and the others to confront the Rockets.

Here Harden stepped back and scored a three-pointer.

Anthony immediately made a three-pointer after three threats.

Harden assisted Capela and made an alley dunk.

Chen Tian broke through and scored the ball, and Yi Jianlian easily made a mid-range shot.

After seeing this offensive mode, the Rockets also replaced Beverly and replaced Lu Wei.

Just don't defend yourself.

All focus is on offense.

Monty saw this, and there was no ambiguity.

Also replaced Tucker.

This time, the Lakers' three-forward lineup appeared again.

Chen Tian, ​​Anthony, Tucker, Green and Yi Jianlian were on the field.

This time, both teams increased their speed at the same time.

The next step is a full-scale offensive battle.

Harden's organizational skills have to be said to be really good.

Especially with Bosh by his side, his organization becomes more comfortable.

As for the Lakers lineup, it is still difficult to defend against Bosh.

But Anthony has done a good job.

The confrontation between the two teams also began at this moment.

Harden made consecutive assists from outside and scored three points.

The Lakers are not too far behind.

Anthony and Yi Jianlian also scored three points, and the scores of the two teams are still stalemate.

But at this time, Monty saw that something was wrong on the sidelines.

When Green broke through the inside and caused a foul.

Chen Tian was also called over by Monty.

Then Monty whispered something in Chen Tian's ear.

Chen Tian nodded, and his eyes lit up.

In the following games, although the two teams still come and go, they will not give in to each other.

But Chen Tian's offense has obviously changed.

Chen Tian passed the ball less and less.

But the number of consecutive balls to the inside is increasing.

Chen Tian's change also dealt a big blow to the Rockets' insiders.

Capela's fouls also skyrocketed.

This scene made McHale off the court feel that something was wrong.

McHale also shouted at this time.

"Show me the data."

The assistant coach Bickerstaff on one side also quickly gave the data sheet to McHale.

McHale got the data sheet and saw that Capela's foul count had reached four.

I knew right away that it was a bad dish.

At this time, McHale also quickly called a timeout.

This timeout also made everyone on the field a little confused.

After all, the game was so fierce, they didn't expect a timeout to be called at this time.

But everyone on the Rockets side returned to the bench.

After hearing what McHale said.

Immediately, I also felt bad.

Because at this time for the Rockets, the real center is Capela.

If Capela is sent off, then the Rockets need to let Bosh top.

This is not the Rockets' tactics.

But now the game is played here.

McHale also has no good way.

In the end, he just waved his hand, and that's it.

Back from the timeout, nothing changed for the two teams.

This makes many people wonder what the meaning of this pause is called.

As a result, at the end of the third quarter, Capela also committed six fouls.

This time the Rockets are also a little passive.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lakers also launched a counterattack.

At one point the score was stretched to ten.

But after the start of the fourth quarter, Harden returned to the court.

The Rockets gradually stabilized here.

The score was caught up bit by bit.

But the Lakers didn't give the Rockets any more chances.

Chen Tian and Anthony also started to exert their strength in the last quarter.

A direct wave of offense also took away the victory of the entire game.

Although Harden and Bosh also counterattacked at the end.

But still to no avail.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Rockets by 117:111, with a gap of six points.

This point difference is not too big, but it also allows many teams to see a different way to play against the Lakers.

It might be a good decision to play against each other.

After the game is over.

Harden also found Kobe, and the two chatted for a while.

Then the jerseys were swapped.

Harden was excited like a child when he got Kobe's jersey.

After playing the Rockets, the Lakers will face a strong team, the Thunder.
