Chapter 1040 Finishing Three Quarters
In the huge arena, the fans seemed to be in a good mood.
After all, the home team has regained its form, and let their hearts go back to their stomachs.
Rockets dugout.
Harden's expression was a little frustrated, he gnawed on his fingers, secretly sad.
However, as one of the core of the team, the adjustment ability is not covered.
It's just that Howard is very proud now, and it's really annoying to say something to him from time to time.
But knowing the idiot's character, Harden didn't care about him, thinking about how to prove himself in the second quarter.
soon.
The second quarter of the game then began.
Both the Warriors and the Rockets chose to switch to the second team, which opened up the confrontation between the substitutes.
Well known.
Since the Warriors have Iguodala on the bench, they have improved several levels as a whole.
His defense and support, as well as his impact on the inside, are a great asset to the Warriors!
It seemed like the other players were more comfortable with him on the court.
But this time is a bit special.
After Harden was replaced because of his head fever in the first quarter, he never played.
He had rested long enough that if he didn't use it now, McHale would have blocked the door if it wasn't his head.
and so.
The Rockets' lineup includes Harden, Clint Capela, Terrence Jones, Pablo Prigioni, and Iron Man Trevor Ariza.
Two starters, for the Warriors lineup, the pressure is not small.
Even though they still have David Lee inside, Lee is no longer the leader of the Warriors, and has almost become a substitute among the substitutes.
Game start.
Harden played his aggressiveness as soon as he came on the court!
If it was said that his head was hot in the first quarter, then he is intellectually singled out now.
Because he is facing Iguodala, as long as this point can be broken, the Warriors' lineup will basically be abolished!
After all, it might be unrealistic to expect Barbosa, Ezeri, Sean Livingston, and Harrison Barnes to have fun.
Almost none of them have outside shooting ability.
Except for Capela, the Rockets can shoot some shots.
Especially Pablo Prigioni.
He looked very old and his body was a little weak, but if he really wanted to fight, he felt a bit like a poor man's version of Nash.
You don't know when he will give you a knife, and you don't know whether your defense line will be broken under his organization.
of course.
He's not that godlike either, but he's always been low-key, but there's something about him.
really.
Because of Harden's entanglement with Iguodala, others need time to find their status temporarily. Under the defense of Sean Livingston, Pablo Prigioni not only played well in organization, but also scored two shots in time. .
Silently.
In just over a minute, he scored four points and two assists.
have to say.
Once European players have adapted to the NBA, their ability is really good.
Seeing that this lineup kept rushing to the inside and the defense was not particularly strong, Steve Kerr had no choice but to call a timeout.
Substitution.
Change tactics!
When the Warriors returned to the court again, the lineup suddenly took on a new look.
Drummond Green is back.
Stephen Curry is back too.
In addition to Bogut and Thompson in the lineup, the three main players gathered together.
Thus.
The Rockets have had some challenges.
And because of Green's defense, a court fight almost broke out.
Terrence Jones, don't look at a good player, because Josh Smith has taken the starting lineup, so he has a big temper.
Besides, everyone is quite young, so their temper is naturally quite aggressive, and they will be timid in the face of tough opponents, but Terrence Jones is really strong in the face of possible fights.
of course.
Considering the stability of the court, McHale replaced him first.
As for the returning Josh Smith, he will not be afraid of Green, he is a hunk.
a time.
Due to various changes on the field, the starters returned to the field one after another.
In the next second quarter, the two sides played vigorously, with a very high hit rate.
After the halftime game ended, the two sides tied at 33, and the Rockets still led by one point.
Go back to the locker room.
Instead of blaming Green, Steve Cole gave him a thumbs up with a smile on his face.
Make sense.
It's not a bad thing to have such a thorn in the team sometimes.
And if others still have the ability, that's really good for this team.
As for the Rockets, Terrence Jones was still cursing, wishing he could rush to the visiting team's locker room and fire Green.
Without him.
When the two were fighting just now, his egg was almost kicked by Green.
This will almost kill off children and grandchildren, and Jones will naturally have to play with his life.
Harden and Howard comforted each other, but fortunately Jones was still sane, so he could only press the ice cube there.
Howard laughed heartlessly, even if it really made Terrence Jones laugh, and he didn't dare to get angry at him.
Fine.
I suffer.
McHale was happy to see such a situation, and they didn't lose points, so they were naturally happy and stable.
During the intermission, Jeff Van Gundy and the others never stopped talking.
As for Morey and Alexander, who were sitting in the front row, they were currently huddling together in the lounge, drinking beer happily.
For the performance of the Rockets, they are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
As long as you can win this game, even if you will go to the Warriors' home court next time, even if you lose, the final tie-break will be at your doorstep.
By the time.
If Harden and the others were stronger, wouldn't they be in the finals?
so.
The more they drank, the more excited they became. The second half started, and they were still drinking there.
on the field.
In the third quarter, the two teams changed their styles as soon as they came up.
They seemed to be playing a tacit ball, and they all focused on defense.
Thus.
The intensity of the confrontation in the third quarter went up, but the excitement level dropped a lot.
After the end of the third quarter, the Warriors relied on their enthusiasm to overtake the Rockets 25:22.
But the difference is not big, only two points.
But no one at the scene chose to leave, let alone doze off.
They all knew that the fourth quarter would be the real showdown.
Once the fight starts at that time, the level of excitement will definitely be very high.
As for the three of Van Gundy in the commentary booth, at this time, they made a bet with great interest.
"I bet one hundred dollars, the final winner must be the Warriors!"
Reggie Miller spoke first.
Rick Barry and Van Gundy looked at each other, and immediately had a tacit understanding and chose the Rockets one after another.
Nothing.
The reason is also very simple.
The state of the Rockets is still there, and this is still the home court of the Rockets.
When it came to the fourth quarter, when it was time to play their lives, it was in their favor both on and off the court.
And there is another point that makes them sure of their choice, that is, after the third quarter, Harden is already alive.
