NBA: Sharks cry, can't stand this center

Wei Guo passed Ma Long and Harprin.

Relying on the rhythm of dribbling and the explosive power at the moment of breakthrough!

There are only a handful of players in the league who can do this, and Malone and Harprin are stunned.

Outside the three-point line, Wei Guo made an emergency stop and shot a jumper.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

40:47! ! !

There are 3 minutes and 41 seconds left before the end of the first half.

Several Rockets players were amazed by Wei Guo's aggressive action, Wei Guo patted Francis, "Why are you in a daze, hurry back to defense!"

"Brother Wei..."

The corners of Francis' mouth were almost drooling, "You must teach me the trick you just did."

.......

Defense is very critical this time!

If you can defend and score a goal, you can narrow the point difference to less than 5 points.

In this case...

In the first half, there is great hope to overtake and open the score.

Stockton dribbled the ball, Harprin came out from the inside and received a pass from Stockton. The moment he received the ball, Harperin hesitated!

Weiguo is gone, and Ma Long is left empty!

"Will it be passed on???"

Halprin only hesitated for 0.33 seconds before making a decision not to pass!

Three-point shot shot!

"Snapped!!!"

As soon as the basketball left Harprin's fingertips, Wei Guo slapped it and slapped it away. Then Wei Guo rushed forward and pinched the basketball with one hand. Guo grabbed the ball with one hand and shook it away.

Then...

Wei Guo dribbled the ball straight to the frontcourt, faced the empty basket, and made a jump shot from outside the three-point line!

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

In the entire league, only Wei Guo dared to do this and would not be scolded by the head coach. For other players, if he missed the basket but made a three-pointer, even if he made it, he would be scolded by the head coach.

43:47! ! !

The Rockets are only 4 points behind.

........

Seeing that the Rockets were about to overtake the score, Sloan let Harprin continue to double-team Weiguo with Malone.

But this is not possible...

Even if he is double-teamed, Wei Guo can pass the ball easily, and the Rockets still have three players with strong scoring ability, Dayao, Francis, and Mobley!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Gentry also stood on the sidelines, constantly reminding the players to be defensive.

The first half is over.

56:51! ! !

The Rockets led by 5 points.

反超比分靠的就是卫国的11分4助攻，只用了不到4分钟的时间，火箭队打了爵士队一个19:4！！！

........

This is a 5-point lead. Even if they are 5 points behind, the Rockets are confident.

Team cohesion is too strong.

and...

Wei Guo sang red face, Gentry sang bad face.

If a player made a low-level mistake, Wei Guo would scold him mercilessly. Whenever Wei Guo finished scolding him, Gentry would share a short fable with that person, and then that person immediately recovered.

When the players walked to the locker room, fans had already exited.

The fans felt hopeless. The Rockets played against the Jazz in the first round with the attitude of playing in the finals. They didn't want to give the Jazz a chance at all.

........

The second half of the game is about to begin, and the Rockets players returned to the court from the locker room.

"what?"

Cummings was the first to notice something was wrong, and glanced at the auditorium, "The audience is much smaller."

Dayao said, "Maybe it's the bathroom."

"It's time to come back to the bathroom."

Francis said with a smile: "The audience couldn't bear to see the Jazz lose again, and they left early."

The Jazz are only 5 points behind and theoretically still have a chance.

In the second half of the second quarter, when the Jazz widened the point difference to double digits, the roof of the arena was almost lifted by the voices of the audience, and then Wei Guo led the team to a small climax of 19:4 to overtake the score .

This huge contrast...

Let the audience see no hope of winning. Once a small wave of audience starts to leave, more and more audience will leave.

The Jazz players also noticed this, and the cheering from the audience was much quieter, which was also a blow to the home players.

The third quarter begins.

Stockton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and with the help of Malone's pick-and-roll came to the free throw line. With a false throw and a real pass, the basketball came to Harperin's hands.

This is really not passing the ball to Malone. Malone clearly has an open space near the three-point line, but Stockton passes the basketball to Harprin, who makes a mid-range shot.

"Shh!!!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Several young players showed puzzled expressions, and Sloan explained: "This is a very reasonable pass. Even if the ball is passed to Malone, Malone has no three-point ability, and he still has to dribble one step forward to shoot. That At that time, Weiguo will take up the defense."

“┗|｀O′|┛哦~~”

The Jazz players suddenly realized that they only saw a wide open for Malone, but Stockton did not pass the ball to Malone, but passed the ball to Harprin, who was defended by Mobley.

However, except for Harprin, the other players of the Jazz still did not perform well.

Especially Ostertag, this game was completely restricted by Yao at the basket. After six or seven minutes in the third quarter, Dayao gave Ostertag two big caps.

"The Jazz are on their way..."

Gentry sat back on the bench in relief.

According to this trend, after the end of the third quarter, the Rockets can have at least a 15-point lead.

More importantly...

As long as Britney came to the sidelines to watch the game, maybe to prove her physical strength, Wei Guo would definitely play the whole game, even if the fourth quarter entered garbage time.

........

In the fourth quarter, the Jazz had fallen behind by 20 points.

Sloan did not replace the main players. They are still struggling. If they can't win this game, it will be even more difficult to win the two-day game.

naturally...

Wei Guo also did not leave the field. The main force of the Rockets was Dayao. Mobley and Francis also stayed on the field.

period...

The Jazz relied on the last tenacity to hit a 9:0 spurt, but it didn't help. The result of the game was already doomed.

"Beep!!!"

With the sound of the whistle, the game is over.

113:95! ! !

The Rockets beat the Jazz by 18 points in an away game and won Game [-] of the first round of the playoffs.

Statistics for this game:

卫国：60分17篮板10助攻3抢断3盖帽

大姚：21分6篮板3助攻1抢断3盖帽

斯托克顿：17分3篮板16助攻2抢断0盖帽

马龙：3分7篮板1助攻0抢断2盖帽

This is definitely one of the worst games Malone has played in his career, and this game took a blow to Malone's self-confidence.
