Chapter 579: We are the Rockets
This goal surprised everyone, but it did not shock everyone on the Rockets!
The game continues! The Rockets' offense slowly comes! Lakers fans who were still celebrating suddenly come back to their senses and shout: Defensive! Defense!
On the other hand, the Rockets fans have forgotten what the image is, and roared loudly to cheer for the home team! Houston is an aerospace city, and the people here are basically people in high-end industries, basically white-collar workers and gold-collar workers! They usually play decently and have high-end temperaments! A true successful person!
But at this time, they all took off that coat and were dedicated to cheering for the team they like!
The Rockets are controlled by the King of Street Ball! As soon as the halfway point is over, the Rockets players start running! Whether it is McGrady or other players, even Yao Da has moved! As we all know, Yao Da rarely runs outside the penalty area after gaining weight! He basically moves inside!
But now, Yao Yao also started running, whether it was cover or blocking the position! Yao Yao abandoned the clumsy center-forward style he had before, and gradually found the light and agility of the past!
He Yiming had no choice but to follow him. After all, Yao Yao has a good central shot. If He Yiming doesn't go out, Yao Yao may have received the ball and made a mid-range shot directly! Unfortunately, he could only keep Gasol alone in the inside to guard it!
He Yiming moved out of the penalty area, which brought many opportunities to the Rockets' breakthrough! McGrath asked for a cover, and Scola came out to help with the pick-and-roll! Although Scola was relatively thin, he was also an inside player after all, and he still weighed a little, which led to Kobe having to adjust his pace and go around!
On the other side, McGrady accelerated and advanced to the inside! Facing the inside without He Yiming, McGrady only needs to face Gasol alone, but the Lakers would not let him break into the penalty area so easily. Bathir hurriedly stood up and restored McGrady's position!
At this time, Kobe also bypassed Scola. The two of them siege put McGrady in a dilemma! Rockets fans were nervous and looked at this scene!
At this time, McGrady's hand moved and her body beat lightly. Bathir's center of gravity moved and rushed towards McGrady's beating. However, McGrady's footsteps had already tricked Bathir's center of gravity and saw his footsteps change and he rushed forward from Bathir's right side. Then, McGrady accelerated again and passed Bathir!
Bathil wanted to chase after him, but the center of gravity had not adjusted yet, and almost sat on the ground!
After Bathil, McGrady faced Gasol directly. There were thousands of ways to pass an inside player with a defender. Basically, they all depended on speed and body flexibility. Of course, as long as they were not as fast as He Yiming and had a flexible body!
McGrady did the same thing, but he saw that his speed remained unchanged and rushed towards Gasol in a straight line! Gasol adjusted his pace and took a step forward and approached McGrady!
But McGrady was not disrupted by the rhythm. He jumped directly, held the ball with his right hand, and made a jump step directly. He grabbed the ball with his left hand and made a circle behind him, and switched the ball to Gasol's right hand, and followed McGrady with his right hand, and the ball was thrown to the basket!
McGrady did this move very easily, and Gasol had no chance to interfere with McGrady's shooting! He could only watch the basketball fly over his fingertips helplessly!
Brush! The ball is hollow and enters the net!
The difference in scores reached 8 points!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers did not use fast breaks this time! Kobe received the ball at halftime and controlled the ball at the three-point line when he received it! At this time, He Yiming moved to the position and helped make a cover to help Kobe block McGrady!
Then He Yiming was abnormal and rushed directly to the inside! He and Kobe directly upset the Rockets' inside line! On the one hand, he had to defend Kobe, and on the other hand, he also paid attention to He Yiming, and the Rockets' inside players were in a hurry!
At this time, He Yiming shouted: Kobe! Kobe understood and directly passed the ball to He Yiming with a small range of hits. The Rockets' defensive center of gravity changed his lane!
Seeing this, Van Gundy shouted in his heart: Idiot! He shouted in a hurry: Pay attention to defense! The Rockets players were shocked, and Kobe was already empty!
However, He Yiming did not pass the ball to Kobe, but came to Gasol in the side! Gasol waved the ball and tricked the player to make up for defense and took action directly!
The goal is in! The Lakers are still 10 points ahead!
There is a reason why He Yiming didn't pass this ball to Kobe. When everyone thought Kobe was already open, He Yiming saw a clue through his 360° vision! McGrady is still in that position!
Fortunately, Gasol also arrived at the open position, and He Yiming passed the ball directly to him! Kobe didn't say anything about this. Although he did not have He Yiming's 360° vision, he also saw McGrady's position! That was definitely rushing towards him!
The score is still 10 points! The Rockets are still under the pressure of the Lakers! Van Gundy called a timeout at this time, and it happened to be the official timeout, and the timeout has become longer!
Van Gundy gathered everyone and said, "The third quarter is about to end! If we are still led by 10 points and enter the fourth quarter! Then..." Van Gundy did not continue, but all the players knew that with the Lakers' offensive firepower, he had no chance of winning!
"So! We have to catch up with the score in these last three minutes, or overtake the score!" A voice came over and attracted the surprise of the players!
It's McGrady! McGrady looked at her teammates with a determined look on her face! She continued: "We are the Rockets!"
We are the Rockets! A simple sentence!
We are the Rockets! Is this meaning important? Former Rockets player Kenny Smith tells you: It's very important! Never underestimate the heart of a championship! Now it's only a small step away from the championship. This is the closest time the Rockets have been to the O'Brien Cup in recent years! The closest time!
Seeing everyone falling into deep thought, Van Gundy was also filled with emotion! This is the Rockets, but......!
The suspension ends! The game continues! The Rockets players are united, for the never-ending flame in their hearts, for their professional ideals, for the oath they made when they entered the league, and for so many fans who support them!
McGrady took the ball through half the game, looking at the Lakers' defensive formation, her face was calm, and she didn't know what she was thinking?
