Chapter 124

Section III.

Qin Ming led his substitute lineup to a great victory. For the Rockets, because James Harden has not been brought up yet, and Westbrook is alone, Chandler has become Qin Ming's breakthrough point.

Qin Ming has repeatedly made great achievements in the pick-and-roll with Zubac, facing Westbrook's hesitation and Chandler's defense.

For example, in this round, Qin Ming and Zubac were on the pick-and-roll. Chandler had already been hit a lot, so he didn't want to go up to defend the ball, but Westbrook always followed Carlisle's tactics. If Qin Ming can defeat the Rockets with this point, then they have no way to prevent the Clippers from winning.

Therefore, Westbrook didn't really want to give Qin Ming a chance to open a three-pointer, because as a player, Qin Ming's three-point threat was much greater than his breakthrough threat.

Such a small player, if you let him break through, he will most likely just pass the ball.

But Chandler didn't think so.

Chandler felt that he had gone up to defend so many times, but Qin Ming was always able to thrive in the interior. This person is not Stephen Curry, nor is he a well-known shooter on the three-point list. Why is he worthy of being treated like this.

And if he doesn't have himself in the inside line, then there is no huge barrier. Qin Ming can get whatever he wants in the inside line.

So in this round, Chandler didn't choose to go up and grab, but asked Westbrook to chase Qin Ming, and then help defend according to the situation.

This ball can't fix Westbrook.

Because he also followed Zubac's pick-and-roll and retreated to the back, the two of them just watched Qin Ming get a huge opening outside the three-point line.

Qin Ming made a three-pointer without hesitation.

After a long season, his shooting skills have been honed to perfection. The major teams have made their own choices and defenses, and these tactics that made Qin Ming fail have been overcome one by one by him.

This is why Kobe is optimistic about Qin Ming.

They are all equally paranoid.

Kobe lost his three three-pointers in that playoffs, and it was a life-and-death battle that could help the team reach the final round. He still dared to shoot and still didn't believe in evil.

He lost that time, so he doesn't want to lose any more.

The same is true for Qin Ming.

Once he was guarded, and once he was restricted, he would keep echoing this matter in his mind, and he would not let it go until he found a way to deal with it in his mind.

Then, I will continue to practice in the arena, and I will continue to hone my skills until I become a better player.

And these hardships that Qin Ming had overcome, now placed on his face, it is easy to come by.

"Qin Ming shot a three-pointer directly from the perimeter! Didn't Westbrook come up on defense? Did Chandler also choose to retreat? This is Qin Ming, a player with a shooting percentage of more than 50.00% this season. If you let him shoot like this, isn't it just giving him points?"

"The Rockets may not have communicated well with the ball, but no matter what, Qin Ming made the three-pointer!"

"Qin Ming hit a three-pointer! He once again accepted the opponent's postgraduate entrance examination, and once again gave the opponent a hard blow!"

"It's too simple."

Here, the Rockets finally got James Harden.

At this point they were already fourteen points behind.

On the Clippers side, they also took Paul George and Leonard.

"The Clippers are going to lock up your James Harden."

The Rockets once again had James Harden running the offense.

The latter held the ball and dribbled the ball twice in a row to mobilize Paul George's defensive focus. He didn't intend to go to Qin Ming, who was already exhausted in singles, because the Clippers' rotation was fast and the double-team came in very timely.

At this time, Chandler came up to pick and roll.

Zubac quickly switched defenses, trying to delay James Harden's first pass route and then switch back, but James Harden faced Zubac's three-pointer with a direct step back without hesitation.

"James Harden made a three-pointer directly! Zubac didn't go up this ball."

"If the ball needs to be switched, why not go up?"

James Harden hit a three-pointer again. He clenched his fist with one hand and led the team to bite the score.

When Qin Ming comes back to organize the offense, he still chooses to pick and roll with Zubac on the line. Leonard and Paul George counter-run each other on the bottom line. Once there is a chance, Qin Ming can pass it out, and at this time, he can also find opportunities for singles.

After Zubac's pick-and-roll, Chandler came up, Qin Ming dribbled the ball from his crotch, quickly changed direction and passed Chandler, and went straight to the penalty area.

At this time, Paul George once again used Morris' cover to make an air cut to the inside. At this time, Chandler was chasing Qin Ming behind, and Covington had to run inside to help defend.

Qin Ming went inside and caused a foul.

Qin Ming sent a very regular baseline ball, which was directly thrown to Paul George on the outside. The latter caught Eric Gordon to prevent the opponent from interfering with his receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, Paul George's eyes wandered, and he found the air-cut Leonard. The latter was bypassing Morris' pick-and-roll.

Covington and Gordon didn't communicate well on this ball, and Leonard's air cut was very fast, Gordon dropped half a body, and Paul George's pass came over.

The ball led the way, Leonard crossed and scored a layup after receiving the ball, Tyson Chandler did not dare to come up to help defend.

James Harden advanced with the ball, handed it to the uplifted Eric Gordon, and then ran towards the baseline.

This is a three-point tactic, with James Harden and Covington mobilizing Paul George. They will use Hardaway and Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll to run from the two bottom corners to 45 degrees.

However, the Clippers switched defenses and rotations very quickly, and their explanations were very clear, so the ball failed to run out of the open space, and Eric Gordon did not pass it.

There were eight seconds left in the attack time. After James Harden mentioned receiving a pass from Eric Gordon, he signaled himself not to pick and roll and let the opponent go down.

He knew that if he picked and rolled at the last moment, the Clippers players would definitely come up to double-team him. There was not much time to attack, and if he was delayed like this, he would definitely have to violate the 24-second rule.

James Harden singled Paul George from the outside. The two entangled and tore up two full games. Fans will often see such scenes.

James Harden still used his crotch dribble to mobilize Paul George's center of gravity. Paul George defended very wide and prevented him from shooting.

James Harden made a strong three-pointer.
