The Toyota Center was full tonight.

Playing against the Pelicans No. 1 in the league makes the game look great, not to mention the last time the two teams played.

The strong and strong home team needs such a victory.

The mentality of the Pelicans is also very good.

The streak after the All-Star Game allowed them to resume their momentum at the beginning of the season.

And with the Rockets' current performance, the probability of the two teams playing in the playoffs is not small, they also need such a victory.

At the commentary, Mike Brin and Reggie Miller were also in place.

"This will be a close match."

Miller set the tone for the game before the game.

"Yes, it will be, the two teams that have the best form after the All-Star break."

Brin nodded in agreement.

Just like the fans, they are looking forward to this peak battle.

The scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and the starters on both sides successively introduced the appearance.

On the other side of the Pelicans, Holliday and Tang Tian are on the perimeter, Boyan and Davis are on the front, and Jokic is the center.

On the Rockets' side, Paul and Harden are on the perimeter, Tucker and Morris are on the front, and Cousins ​​is the center.

Cousins ​​beat Davis and officially kicked off the game.

Paul held the ball to the frontcourt and raised his eyes to see the Pelicans posing a 2-1-2 defensive formation.

With the experience of the previous game, the Pelicans came straight up.

Paul signaled his teammates to pull away after seeing it.

D'Antoni is good at system and specific tactical execution. Now with Paul, he can completely decide how to play on the court.

After his teammates pulled away, Paul broke through to the free throw line and made a mid-range jumper.

"Oh!"

Paul led the Rockets first.

Stevens stood up from the bench.

The Rockets have changed since the last match.

The middle distance is Paul's most comfortable scoring area, but the last match D'Antoni did not arrange for Paul to shoot in this position.

It was not only Stevens who started to target each other but also D'Antoni.

Holliday dribbled to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Jokic.

The Pelicans played No. 2 on the court. Tang Tian cut in and Jokic passed the ball.

Everything looks the same as before.

Tang Tian made a breakthrough after receiving the ball, Tucker contracted from the left.

He right-handed the ball backwards.

After everyone thought he was going to make a breakthrough from the right, he made a round in the air and passed the ball directly behind his right hand.

The ball changed direction and passed straight from the right to the left corner.

At this point, he was caught off guard, and Morris and Cooper's Tucker were completely surprised.

The ball flew straight to the bottom corner, and Bo Yang reached to the right to get the ball. After adjusting his posture, he shot quickly with a three-pointer.

This is his most accurate point, and he shot over 55 in the season.

Coupled with the stability of the shot brought by the son of the wind.

"Oh!"

Basketball hollow into the net, Boyang also opened the record for the Pelicans!

"What! How did he do that?"

Brin exclaimed at the commentary.

In the last game, Tang Tian showed off His Majesty during the marathon. In this game, he passed the ball behind him?

Tang Tian, ​​has this evolved from a scorer towards an all-round forward?

After Bo Yang's goal, he waved to Tang Tian for a good pass.

Tang Tian nodded.

The ball passed just now.

It seems that even the best ability also needs to accumulate in the game. In order to really achieve Nash's passing ability, he still needs to practice on the game.

The Pelicans returned to halftime, and Stevens signaled to switch back to man-to-man defense.

Paul's scoring in the middle distance is very stable, and will continue to be passive.

Adjusting defensive tactics one round, Stevens was a bit quick on the spot.

After seeing the Pelicans' defensive formation adjustment, Paul turned and handed the ball to Harden, making a tactical gesture to him.

Harden called Cousins ​​out to pick and roll after getting the ball.

His purpose is obvious, that is, to play Jokic out of position.

Last season's playoffs by the Pelicans and the Warriors allowed Jokic's weakness to be infinitely amplified. Even if he completed his muscle growth this season, he was still targeted in the era of small balls.

This is also the fate of the big man in the new era.

But Jokic didn't come out.

After seeing Cousins ​​put on a pick-and-roll, Davis let Morris come to assist.

At the same time, Jokic also shifted to the right to Morris.

Stevens took Brown's advice, learned the Rockets' defensive strategy, and protected Jokic.

Harden did not change to Jokic twice before giving up. He finally broke into the basket with Hollodi's defense and missed the shot.

He doesn't look good tonight.

Jokic protected a defensive rebound.

The Rockets retired quickly and did not give Jokic a chance to make a long pass.

Jokic gave the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian dribble after half time, suddenly a long throw.

At this time, the players on both sides are moving to the frontcourt, and many of them are facing the Rockets at halftime.

Harden and Tucker turned their heads one after another, and then saw the ball passing by them, flying directly into Boyan's hands.

Boyang just received the ball just after the 45-degree three-point line on the right was set.

The pass was unexpected, but he reacted quickly and threw the ball.

"Oh!"

Just throw it!

He started with two 3-pointers!

He has continued the hot feel of the three-pointer contest!

There was a restlessness on the sidelines.

Boyang as a new three-point king, this accuracy is a bit scary!

D'Antonio frowned.

The layman looks lively, the layman looks at the doorway.

Fans saw Bo Yang's accurate three-pointer, but what he saw was Tang Tian's continuous second pass.

This scalpel-like defensive pass reminded him of a man.

Former disciple Steve Nash.

As soon as the idea came out, he shook his head involuntarily.

That's impossible. How could a Tang Tian swingman have the passing ability like Nash?

The Rockets' offense, Harden broke the basket again, and shot Jokic's defensive foul.

As the NBA player who is best at one-point shooting, he doesn't feel good about making free throws.

Harden made two free throws, Harden helped the Rockets bite the score.

"Defend! Defend!"

The Pelicans had a strong start, and the on-site dj began to drive fans to cheer.

Tang Tianhou dribbled the ball to the front three-point line, and when the players on both sides were in tactical position, he suddenly blocked the ball.

The ball passed by Harden, causing his eyes to turn.

The next second, the ball reached Davis.

After Davis got into the frontcourt, he just received a pass after he finished screening and turning for Boyang.

He didn't expect it at all ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ but he turned around and found no one around him.

Boyang scored two three-pointers in a row and gave the Rockets a lot of defensive pressure. Tucker and Morris had problems communicating on the defensive end. Both went after Boyang. Davis was left alone.

"Oh!"

After Davis reacted, the slam dunk with both hands!

8 to 4!

The sidelines were restless. After the start of the Pelicans, they were extremely strong and smooth!

"God, this ball has eyes!"

Brin is as expert as D'Antoni, he was convinced by Tang Tian's successive passes.

This is the third assist that Tang Tian has sent since the opening!
