Chapter 143

After two plus one, Westbrook scored another three-pointer.

Sure enough, after Westbrook made the three-pointer, the Clippers quickly called a timeout.

Both sides have rotated their starters.

Even if James Harden is invincible at this time, and Westbrook has also made achievements on the offensive end, but at this time the point difference has returned to single digits, and the starters have played for too long, so they still have to take it down and take a rest.

But James Harden won't be able to rest for a long time, and the Rockets are bound to win this game.

After the timeout, the Clippers took their own substitute lineup.

Lu Wei and Harrell performed a pick-and-roll. The two men had a tacit understanding. Harrell came up and made a false screen.

"Lu Wei, Harrell came up for the pick-and-roll. After the fake pick-and-roll, he rolled down. The ball was fed into Harrell's mouth. He jumped and dunked! He directly dunked Hayes to the ground. This ball is too violent!"

"It's like entering no one's land! Lu Wei and this Harrell's pick-and-roll are the most powerful weapons on the Clippers' bench! No one can forget that last season, they overturned the tsunami brothers in the playoffs! After this ball, the Clippers once again pulled the point difference back to double digits. With James Harden, the Rockets were a little overwhelmed."

Harrell roared, comparing his biceps.

But his free throw missed.

The moment Rivers held the ball at halftime, he began to direct his teammates to run and implement the tactics they decided to suspend.

At this time, the team's cohesion and running ability were very strong. With the help of Chandler's cover, Tucker quickly ran out of an open space.

He received a pass from Rivers Jr. and made a hit.

"Tucker made a three-pointer."

"If the Rockets maintain this feeling, then in the last 5 minutes of the second quarter, they still have a chance to tie the score. It depends on whether they can withstand the attack of the second general Huo Ha."

And here, after the second general Humha picked and rolled again, Lu Wei got a short open three-pointer, but failed to hit.

In contrast to the Rockets.

Tucker passed to Rivers Jr. who came forward to ask for the ball. The offense of the Rockets' bench lineup is not very complicated. Most of them are simple pick-and-rolls and singles.

Facing Lu Wei, Little Rivers directly dribbled the ball under his crotch and made a layup. He carried Shamet into the inside and caused a foul by Zubac.

Little Rivers made two free throws, and the Rockets were struggling to catch up with the score.

Received the ball slightly from the backcourt and passed it directly to Morris who asked for the ball in the midfield.

The latter moved the center of gravity with two consecutive crotch dribbles, followed by a crotch dribble to prevent Fanny Smith from pulling out the ball, and a small change in front of the body passed House.

At this time, Rivers Jr. quickly came up to help defend, and was about to form a double-team with Smith.

When the two are double-teamed, the Rockets' rotation is very fast, and any pass error may cause a conversion attack.

Morris passed the ball to Batum on the baseline, who ignored Tucker and made a three-pointer.

The ball missed.

The Rockets are still organizing Rivers Jr., and Chandler played a key role in it. His pick-and-roll led to the defense of the two people. This ball is also because Lu Wei and Morris did not communicate well.

In Rivers Jr.'s cut two-pointer, the Rockets are getting closer and closer to equalizing the score.

After that, Lu Wei attacked again and passed to Morris who was asking for the ball in the low post. The latter found a misplaced opportunity and faced Tucker in the low post.

After hitting Tucker with his back twice, he found that the opponent's strength seemed a little strong, and he couldn't stand it, and then he stepped back and shot a jumper.

The Clippers still haven't.

"Uh, how should I put it. After removing the starting lineup, how did the Rockets play offensively? They either hit shots or caused fouls and caused kills. On the other hand, the Clippers are a little slack, and their defensive energy has not been brought up. Their desire to win is not as strong as the Rockets."

"That's right, and their offense seems to be blocked. In fact, Rivers can bring Leonard up at this time. Since Leonard rested early in the second quarter, he can be brought up to lead the team alone."

In fact, Rivers has thought of it a long time ago, but he has to take care of the team's rotation system and playing time. Sometimes he can play whoever he wants, nor can he play whoever he wants.

The team coach is not just a chess player, but also a representative of a team.

His promise to the players must be fulfilled, otherwise it will hurt morale.

Morris can come down to rest, but this guy is a thorn. What he asks for is not playing time, but the number of shots.And Harrell is not easy to appease now. After he won the best sixth man award, he has more and more requirements for his playing time.

He is now on Leonard, and he doesn't know who he should win.

On the other hand, he also believes in the Clippers' bench lineup.

Two best sixth men, a veteran Batum, and a single point Morris, logically speaking, they shouldn't be labeled like this.

All they need is a recovery.

If it doesn't work, the substitute will dig a hole.

The Rockets attacked the inside again, because Harrell's inside defense is not very good, but he has physical fitness, but he flies at one point. Chandler received the pass directly after an air cut, and Harrell took off directly.

Then Chandler made a throw.

The Clippers organized an offense. This time they stopped fighting randomly, but followed the tactics honestly.

Because Harrell didn't block the defender, and Morris' pick-and-roll was a bit perfunctory, Shamet didn't have a good shot space. Lu Wei singled out from the outside and made a signature change of direction after a crotch dribble. He directly shook Tucker, and relied on his own height to shoot a mid-range jumper.

Lu Wei's CIC is still very stable.

This is a steady hit in the mid-range shot.

"Finally a score!"

"It's really not easy. The Clippers' bench lineup still depends on Lu Wei. Although he is in his 30s, he is still very stable in singles."

"I personally feel that he is like Ke Liu back then. He is also a good player in singles. When the substitute lineup cannot attack, if you leave it to Ke Liu, you will definitely gain something."

But the Rockets are chasing points very fiercely at this time, and they have completely regained their self-confidence at this time.

They are not fish to be slaughtered, they are also a championship-level team.
