A day later, the Rockets once again challenged the King, and after a tense decisive battle in the final quarter, they finally succeeded in revenge at 118:112, and the 5-game journey currently has a record of two wins and one loss.
Most of the time the rocket was suppressed by the opponent's death, and the rocket seemed to have learned a painful lesson after returning from the second game. The starter started like a tiger at the beginning, playing a mercury-like offense, breakthrough, three-point, defensive counterattack, pass cut, just 3 minutes to blast a 13:0 brutal attack wave.
The Kings seemed to be overwhelmed by the sudden onslaught, and even if the timeout to adjust the arrangement, it had little effect in a short time, and the Kings scored more than halfway through the first quarter to barely break through double digits. The Kings scored and rebounded at a new season high in Bagley,unable to play this game, and Holmes, who returned from injury, replaced the starter.
In the face of opponents with weaker internal defenses, the Rockets have clear tactics and frequently kill and injure the restricted area, which is the so-called "taking advantage of your illness to kill you". Wood, in particular, once again reproduced the bright performance of the first quarter of the game, scoring 10 points and 7 rebounds in 10 minutes, 23 points, 14 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
But the Rockets always leave the fans alone, and regardless of the final result, the roller coaster always has to be ridden again.
The state of the Rockets in the second quarter and the first quarter is completely different, intermittent power outages, stagnation of the old problem again, even if the maximum point difference once led to 16 points, or by the Kings single quarter to play a number of small climaxes, a single quarter of 39 points to complete the counterattack, to know that the Kings this rotation stage is also less "core" Halliburton, with the unpredictable description of the Rockets is more suitable.
After trailing five points to open the second half, the Rockets Kings were in a stalemate and played a difficult point. An unfriendly defensive round occurred in the ensuing game, with Fox behind him pulling matthews over the shoulder as he broke through and jumped.
Directly causing Matthews to completely lose his balance in the air, coupled with the action of inertia to hit the ground hard, his back landed on the ground, Matthews also curled up in pain after landing, and the whole process was terrified. In the NBA, there are few examples of injuries or even reimbursements like this, and the risk factor is extremely high.
The tough guy Ma Ye was finally safe and sound, and even responded with a 3+1 later, it is worth mentioning that Matthews found the competitive state during the winning streak today after sinking many games, scoring 17 points on 4 of 6 three-point shooting, and Fox led the evil criminal to be expelled.
At the moment of the decisive battle, it was the man who was "daily redemption" who appeared outside the three-point line, with a knife falling in his hand, and the key three points directly hit the king's heart. Since that terrible game on January 11 (it's time to break up Green and Porter Jr.!). 1+1＜2！ Porter Jr. has recently made adjustments and changes on the offensive end, shortening the holding time, attacking resolutely, speeding up the ball, and the effect is obvious to all.
Green's key offensive rebounds and Gordon's daily big heart breakthrough kills then helped the Rockets succeed in revenge, killing the game and the bench into a carnival.
From a transactional perspective, Gordon has recently taken his value to a new level, averaging 29.2 minutes per game this season and still efficiently contributing 14.9 points while the number of shots has dropped to a career low. Meanwhile, the 3-point shooting percentage is 46.5%, the third in the league; the attack frame shooting rate is 57.5%, and the league is third. Coupled with the first-class ability on the defensive end, it is simply the kind of player that the championship team thinks about day and night.
Recently, the league's strong teams around Gordon's trading rumors have also become more and more numerous, if the transaction, I hope that the second brother can have a good home, send him to pick up the O'Brien Cup.
