Chapter 74 Fall behind in the first section

The ball in the air drew a beautiful arc, and finally entered the net with a brush, and it was a hollow into the net. Seeing the ball scored, he raised his hand in the air, drew a three-point posture with his fingers, and ran towards the half-time, with a smile on his face at a glance.

Obviously, Szebiak is very satisfied with his goal. Maybe this is in his imagination? With this goal, the Cavaliers are close to the score. At present, they are one point behind the Rockets, ignoring the score difference.

On the Rockets' side, McGrady directly took over the out-of-bounds service from Big Ben. Obviously, he planned to attack by himself. The speed of advancing the half is very slow. Although it is very slow, it is impossible to violate the law in eight seconds. There is still a concept of time.

Maddie, who arrived at halftime, did not pass the ball to anyone else, but controlled the ball on the outside. The defender in the field was Kyle Lori, who had just traded from the Grizzlies.

Naturally, it is impossible for Lori to have a problem with McGrady's possession of the ball, or absolutely dare not show it, because now he is just a substitute defender, and even Brooks' starting line-up is ignored, let alone him.

Maddie held the ball and looked at West, who had just played. His eyes were full of disdain, and he didn't look at West at all.

Although West is very annoyed with the way McGrady looks at him, he also knows what kind of person he is. There is no comparison with the other party, but he will not admit defeat like this. He must prove that he also has his own strength in front of Maddie, which is not easy to pass, so West is extremely focused on watching. McGrady, who has the ball in his hand, is also full of firmness in his eyes.

This made Maddie take a look more, but it's just a look. He hasn't paid attention to such a little shrimp.

Looking at West, McGrady suddenly started without any warning, but West, who had been paying attention to it very seriously, noticed it and responded in time.

It's just that West's defensive reaction is very slow in McGrady's eyes, which is completely different from the reaction of defensive experts such as Battier.

So McGrady directly ignored West's defense again, directly changed the direction, and easily gave West. It can be said that West's defense did not bring any defensive pressure to McGrady at all, as if it were a loophole.

At this time, West behind McGrady seemed very helpless. He thought he had done a very good job, but there was no pressure in the eyes of the other party, which was very helpless for him. Although he was passed, he still tried his best to catch up. Although it was useless to catch up at this time, attitude determines everything. Whether it is useful or not, attitude is indispensable, so he resolutely decided to catch up.

McGrady doesn't care about whether West, who has just passed by him, will chase him next. At this time, he needs to face Asik. From the beginning of the game until now, Asik, as a substitute, has been very good, and he is good at defense and rebounding.

McGrady looked at Asik, who had already been prepared in front of him, without any hesitation or slowing down, and increased his speed a little and ran straight to Asik.

And Asik's body was already tense at this time, ready to make up for McGrady all the time. McGrady naturally knows that he is a superstar. Although his defense is very good, he has no confidence in the face of such superstars, which can be said to be a normal performance. After all, it's a superstar, and it's McGrady.

McGrady jumped directly high when he was still a small part away from Asik, and Asik thought that McGrady was going to separate him and jumped high.

Just as Asik jumped high, McGrady raised his hand high and prepared to buckle or something. Instead, he came directly to dodge in the air, avoiding Asik's defense in the air, and then made a pull rod layup and successfully hit the ball in. At the same time, Asik's hand also hit Maddie's arm. Is it McGrady's conspiracy? Or did Asik fail to control his strength and slap Maddie directly on the arm?

Naturally, the referee can't let go of Asik's action, and McGrady is still a superstar, so it is even more impossible to let go of Asik's action, so the referee directly sounded the whistle and blew Asik's hitter foul. Asik did not have any opinion on this, because the ball was indeed a real hit. A real hitter foul.

In this way, McGrady has to go to the free throw line to execute the penalty. This free throw stands on the free throw line. He directly raises his hand and let go, and easily hits the ball, which is very easy.

Next, it was the turn of the Cavaliers to attack again. Huang Jun held the ball to the half-time and directly came a very unexpected pass, and it was also a ground-to-ground pass. Moreover, this ground-to-ground pass was even more than the defense of the two people. None of them intercepted the ball, which was very unexpected and incredible.

Directly just now, Huang Jun's pass, first a hit through the crotch of an outside defender, that is, Lori's *, and then passed through the armpit of another defender. After passing through the defense of the second defender, he was almost robbed, and almost robbed.

Finally, the ball was passed to Asik on the inside line, and at this time, Asik no longer had any defenders to defend him. Asik received the ball and directly came to a one-handed dunk.

The ball was not stolen, which made the players and fans at the scene look at Huang Jun incredibly. Did he already design the ball in his mind? The fans at the scene couldn't help thinking about it.

However, Huang Jun did not take all this to heart, but turned around and ran towards the half-time and re-invested in a new round of defense.

The next last minute passed quickly. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers were two points behind the Rockets by 28 to 30.

But this is the first quarter, and it's only two points behind, so the Cavaliers players don't have any pressure on their faces. Some of them are just a little embarrassed. After all, since the beginning of this game, they have rarely fallen behind in the first quarter, so they are in There was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Barkley, do you see that the Rockets led the Cavaliers at the end of the first quarter. Although it is only the first quarter, the Rockets have proved that they have the strength to defeat the Cavaliers. What do you think?" Kenny Smith finished speaking and looked at Barkley with a smile.

"Hehe, didn't you say it all? Is this just the first section? And it's only two points behind. In history, more than ten points behind in three quarters can be reversed successfully, not to mention two points behind at the end of the first quarter, so I don't think the Cavaliers will have any idea about this at all. After all, they are only two points behind." Barkley counterattacked, obviously against Kenny Smith. The statement is not satisfactory or unsatisfactory.

For Barkley's words, Kenny Smith just smiled. Obviously, there was nothing surprising about his statement. This was completely what he expected, so Smith's best counterattack was to smile.

Neither of them spoke again, but turned their eyes to the field, because the game was about to begin.

How will the coaches of both sides compete on the field in the second quarter? There was no doubt that Adelman won the first quarter, but Brown didn't care about it.

The second quarter of the game begins.

Huang Jun has been replaced, but Brown has also replaced James, and the Rockets' lineup is indeed a full substitute. Obviously, this is a very good opportunity for the Cavaliers. There is a chance to overtake the score or even pull the score away. So during this period, the Rockets did not have Yao Mai present, which is a bold decision. It's sure.

Obviously, it will be very important for the Cavaliers' substitute lineup to withstand the Cavaliers with James, but it is obviously not easy to withstand the Cavaliers.

Huang Jun was not on the field. James ran directly to take Asik's bottom line serve, and Gibson next to him had no opinion on it, because he was used to it. In the past, James was like this when there was no Huang Jun, so it was not surprising, but this is the first time this season. So, it hasn't been like this before.

James, who controlled the ball to the half, scanned around to see if there were any good opportunities for his teammates. Although the Rockets were all substitutes on the field, they had to say that their defense was still very good, and there were not many defensive loopholes. At that, he could not ignore Morley's eyesight and shrewdness.

Seeing this, James had to choose a breakthrough to see if he could create a good opportunity or have a chance to score.

James, who killed under the basket, directly hit Big Ben's defense, and leaned on him to throw the ball out. At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded, brushed, and the ball entered the net at the same time, two plus one.

Da Ben was helpless about this jade, but there was nothing he could do. I can only watch James walk to the free throw line.

James calmly walked to the free throw line, but James's shooting rate was not good in terms of free throws. Can this ball be scored?

James adjusted, and then bent his knees to take a shot. The ball hit directly on the neck of the basket. It bounced out and failed to hit it. The rebound was snatched by the big Ben, who had already stuck in the basket.

As Yao Ming's first substitute this season, Ben's performance is quite good, completely solving Yao Ming's inside defense and rebounding on the court, which can be said to be very perfect.

So the deal between the Rockets and the Cavaliers can be said to be a win-win situation, and Daben not only perfectly completed the task assigned to him by the coach, but also brought Yao Ming a lot of rest time, which is a very good thing for Yao Ming and is conducive to getting rid of the bad news of wonderful injuries
