On December 14, Beijing time, the Rockets defeated the Hawks 132-126. It should be pointed out that the team once fell behind by 19 points at 41-60 in the second quarter of the game, and even remained passive throughout the first three quarters, and finally was able to complete the reversal, and the final outbreak of the substitute three miracle soldiers was the key.
Wood 12+5; Gordon scored 32 points as the Rockets reversed the Hawks
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets also led 21-18, but in the next three minutes, Trae Young threw a throw, a wonderful pass, 3+1, a third three-pointer, led by 16 points in the single quarter, the Hawks established a 10-point advantage 38-28, and even led by 19 points at one point 60-41 in the second quarter. Reasons why the rocket is passive:
Even though Gordon returned to contribute 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting at halftime, Tate 10 points and Wood 8 points, the Rockets' strongest blade three-pointer during the seven-game winning streak failed, Matthews and Wood each made 3-of-0, Christopher and Shen Jing each made 2-of-0, and the team could not provide support on 7 of 20 three-point line, and the team trailed by 11 points at halftime 58-69.
Trae Young flew Christopher 3+1
The situation did not get better, Wood scored 3 of 0 in a single quarter, Matthews 1 of 0, Brooks was only 6 of 1, the Hawks twice pulled the score to 17 points, but the Rockets tenaciously forced the score to close again and again, and the Augustine-led bench played a small climax in the last two minutes to chase the score to 88-101.
Notice that after the third quarter, the Rockets' three-pointers: Matthews 4-of-0, Wood 6-of-0, Brooks 7-of-2, the team's three main players combined 17-of-2, Coach Silas made a major adjustment, the last quarter directly on the five benches: Shen Jing, Martin Jr., Christopher, Ballista and Augustine, the effect:
Augustine's third three-pointer
After Nuwaba helped Martin Jr. to dunk heavily, Augustus hit his third three-pointer of the game to chase the score to 93-101, blowing the Rockets counterattack horn, and the subsequent picture is as follows: Augustine's fourth three-pointer, the fifth three-pointer, Shin Kyung layup, chased the score to 101-107, Silas saw the substitute lineup Jianqigong decisively continue to use, the effect:
Gordon three-pointers
Nuwaba's second three-pointer, Shin Kyung's basket, Martin Jr.'s basket, Nuwaba's layup, Martin Jr.'s three-pointer, chased the score to 113-117; Gordon came back to receive Shin Kyung's return pass to direct three-pointers, Augustine made a layup, and then another three-pointer, 121-119 rebound; Gordon broke through the throw and three-pointer, fixing the score at 126-121. In the subsequent foul tactics, Gordon completely killed the game with four consecutive free throws.
Nuwaba made 2 of 2 three-pointers
At this point, the Rockets trailed by 19 points and finally completed a big reversal, which was caused by Silas activating the substitute F4: Augustine 6 of 7 three-pointers bombed 22 points; Martin Jr. 3 of 1 three-pointers bombed 13 points; Nuwaba 2 of 2 three-pointers bombed 10 points; the Rockets' three main shooters were sluggish on the night, and the substitute Sanqi combined to blast 45 points with 9 of 12 three-pointers, which is the key to the Rockets' reversal.
