Chapter 203
During the intermission, players from both sides returned to the locker room.
For the Rockets, although Paul and Harden inevitably have problems with the distribution of the ball, people have to bow their heads under the roof, and Paul is also a relatively restrained person with a good personality, and he is willing to take the blame and be his younger brother.So there is no problem in the Rockets locker room, which is why they have an excellent record.
On the Lakers side, although it is not harmonious, the atmosphere is a bit subtle.
Lon Zuo has secured the team's core point guard. After all, no one in the Lakers is better than him except Jiang Dashan, but Dashan is more suitable for the position.
And now starting in December, Pope is about to come back, and the competition for the substitute position has become fierce.
Ingram was most worried at this time. Although Luol Deng is about to come back, but Luol Deng's current performance and salary make him unable to do anything. Wharton and the Lakers management may have given up on him long ago.But Kuzma's sudden emergence made him feel the pressure, especially in these few games, Kuzma became the starting power forward, but who knows, whether Kuzma will be replaced at the small forward position.
Walton came to the locker room at this time, "The second half of the game is about to start! Listen, boys, you performed well today! The Rockets are an experienced and strong opponent in the game. They will definitely counterattack in the second half. You must maintain this 120% focus! Also, good shot selection! Understand? Good shot selection!" If you find out, then I will let you rest on the bench, understand?"
"Understood!"
. . .
The second half of the game started as scheduled.
"Back to the game, the second half started, the Lakers had the ball. The two teams still started the game. Kuzma passed the baseline ball to Lonzo, and Lonzo held the ball to organize the offense. Everyone settled down, but Lonzo didn't call his teammates to come out for pick-and-rolls, but chose to break through! Facing Harden, Lonzo broke through from the right side, and Jiang Dashan ran to the top of the arc from the right wing.
Su Qun immediately picked up, "The Lakers are running a lot now. Lonzo passed the ball to Dashan who was running at the top of the arc. Dashan hit the ground to Ingram. Ingram made an empty cut for a layup, but was double-teamed by Anderson and Capela. The ball was passed to Kuzma. Kuzma made a three-pointer and made a hit! The Lakers 68 to 61, the point difference came to 7 points!"
The Rockets attacked, and Harden ran with the ball outside, waiting for the opportunity.
Anderson suddenly ran to the right wing secretly. Harden ran to the right wing with his heart in mind. Lonzo defended, but Anderson understood and slammed into the wall to cooperate. Lonzo was heavily blocked, and Harden immediately broke through the inside.Since Kuzma came out with Anderson, Lopez had to let go of Capela and defend Harden. Seeing that Lopez was attracted, Harden threw the ball to Capela, who flew up to complete the dunk.
"Good shot! Capela, at such a young age, has become an indispensable puzzle for the Rockets!" Su Qun highly affirmed Capela!
"Yeah, apart from the personal abilities of Capela and Harden, the Lakers' defensive problems also need to be solved. Harden directly drives the whole team, making it difficult for everyone to defend!" Yang Yi nodded.
The game continued, Lonzo broke through and scored the ball, Ingram received the ball from the left wing and tried to break through.Jiang Dashan walked the bottom line from the right wing, Lopez picked and rolled, received the ball from the left corner, and then passed it back to Kuzma who made an air cut. Kuzma missed a layup. Lopez got the rebound and came by himself.
At 5 minutes and 11 seconds of the third quarter, Harden chased and made a three-pointer, rewriting the score to 74 to 76, only 2 points behind.
The Lakers attacked, Lonzo passed the ball to Ingram, Ingram burst inside, did not run, double-teamed the basket, dropped the ball, and the Rockets made a fast break.
Paul broke through the inside with the ball, and then passed back to Harden on the left wing. Harden hit a three-pointer and the score was overtaken.
“投进这个三分，哈登已经拿到了22分8助攻和8篮板的准三双数据；和他对位的郎佐仅仅是8分5助攻3篮板，完虐啊！”杨毅不禁摇头。
“不能光看哈登和郎佐，你看看姜大山和保罗吗。姜大山28分5助攻2抢断2盖帽，帽的全部都是保罗；而保罗这边仅仅是9投2中，拿到5分3助攻4失误！这个就不好玩了！”苏群接上。
The game continued. At 7 minutes in the third quarter, Harden took Anderson's cover, staggered his defensive position, and directly hit a three-pointer. At this time, the Rockets expanded their score advantage to 8 points.Then, Kuzma missed an empty layup, and the Rockets completed a fast break under the organization of Paul, and Ariza completed the three-pointer.The score came to 88 to 77. In nearly 3 minutes, the Lakers only made a three-pointer by Jiang Dashan, and all other shots missed.
Walton called a timeout, but re-uploaded. The Lakers' offensive problem was still unresolved. Walton let the starters finish the third quarter.
三节比赛结束，火箭队93比82领先了11分，姜大山三节打完，拿到了33分6助攻2抢断2盖帽。
"The Lakers played a good game for two and a half quarters, and suddenly collapsed in the second half of the third quarter! Hey, it's a pity, there should be no hope of counterattack!" Yang Yi felt a little bitter, "It's a pity that Dashan's outstanding performance failed to bring a victory!"
"No way, Ingram is 15 for 3, Lonzo is 10 for 3, Lopez and Kuzma performed well, but they didn't take many shots. The troika is limping two legs, and Jiang Dashan is left alone! If the Lakers can't solve the problem of the recent low shooting percentage, it will really become the 2000ers in 76. Iverson led the team with a single core, and Jiang Dashan led the team with a single core!" Su Qun commented.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Walton replaced the main force and replaced it with a substitute.Wharton's face was ashen, a little helpless.
"The touch of Ingram and Lonzo looks a little bad. Should we increase the shots of Lopez and Kuzma?" Shaw asked beside Wharton.
"But Ingram is the core chosen by the magician. Lonzo can actually shoot the ball, but his shooting posture is problematic. The shooting time is too slow, which makes it easy to be blocked, and it will put a lot of pressure on himself visually! Ingram, the confrontation is not good, and the footsteps are not in place, so the jumper after the breakthrough is often interfered with."
"J was originally bought to make up for the Chinese market, but now he has become one of the symbols of the Lakers." Xiao finished speaking and looked at Walton.
"Okay, okay, I will try to arrange new tactics in the next game. But this game, I guess I have to give up!" Wharton smiled wryly.
At 2 minutes and 11 seconds of the fourth quarter, Walton replaced the substitute.The main force was replaced, but Jiang Dashan still sat on the bench, and Clarkson took the place. At 8 and a half minutes, Walton gave up resistance and replaced him with a substitute.
After the game, the Rockets beat the Lakers 110 to 97.
火箭队周期，替补登场7分钟，5中3拿到6分4篮板和2个盖帽，让人眼前一亮；哈登拿到30分10助攻11篮板的三双；阿里扎12分8篮板4助攻；卡佩拉15分9篮板；保罗比较尴尬，第四节姜大山没出场，才拿了点分，得到10分5助攻。湖人这边，姜大山33分6助攻2抢断2盖帽；英格拉姆靠罚球拿到11分5篮板；郎佐12分5助攻；洛佩兹18分10篮板；库兹马表现出色，12中8拿到了21分6篮板。
At the end of the game, players from the two teams greeted each other. Paul and Harden came to Jiang Dashan. Harden greeted warmly, "Hey, J, are you interested in going to a nightclub together later? The nightclubs in Los Angeles are a good place, where there are so many big butts!"
"Thank you, but I already have a wife!" Jiang Dashan politely refused.
"Hey, J, you're great! The last time I saw such a short man, I'm afraid Iverson is the only one! I can't help myself!" Paul praised Jiang Dashan sincerely.
"You're not bad, but you don't know me well!"
"Okay, goodbye, J, I hope I can see it at the All-Stars!" Harden waved to Jiang Dashan, and took Paul straight to the locker room, probably unable to wait to go to the nightclub.
