The Rockets were preparing for the third game with humiliation, and the Pelicans were also preparing for the third game at this time, but the atmosphere of the Pelicans was indeed easier because the Pelicans won the second game.

The third game of the game will start at Toyota Center. If the Pelicans continue to win the second away game today, they will lead the Rockets 3-0. At that time, the Rockets' pressure will suddenly increase and they can basically go fishing.

Because the Pelicans abused the Rockets in the last game and played a dramatic effect, today's game is also a popular among the hottest ones.

ABC TV finally got a broadcasting right, and at this time McTrick said happily with his unique nasal voice:

"Today is the third game of the game. We all know that the Rockets lost in the second game is ugly. Hubi, how do you look at the second game, what are the real strengths of the Pelicans and the Rockets?"

Although there are so many American basketball experts, if the most widely recognized one is definitely Hubi Brown. Hubi Brown has no doubt about his authority in this regard. When Lao Hubi Brown heard the problem of his partner, he pondered for a while and said:

"Although the Rockets lost the second game, the gap between them and the Pelicans is actually not big. It can even be said that to some extent, the Rockets are stronger than the Pelicans!"

"The Rockets are stronger than the Pelicans? So how did the Rockets lose?"

Old Hubi Brown sighed at this time and said:

"The Rockets lost to McHale rather than losing to the Pelicans."

"McHell's model is still based on the emphasis on big men at the basket, so we can see that the Rockets' frontcourts are all excellent big men. Mortyunas, Asik, Josh Smith Ariza, all of these players are very excellent and very traditional. They are all big players in the traditional sense who value low-post offense and offense and defense under slow pace."

"Then let's look at the Pelicans. The Pelicans are a young team. Their interior is a traditional interior. There is only one El Jefferson. Gasol is a center who uses a gap cut to sneak attack. Kelly relies on three-pointers, and Henson is just a jumping man. The Pelicans' interior configuration is a big violation of traditional basketball. In addition, the Pelicans' overall tactics are also very fast and very aggressive. This creates a completely different style from the Rockets!"

"The Rockets' style is more traditional, while the Pelicans are using the league to get faster and more attention, and pay more attention to the trend of outside offense. Their style is to cater to the league's intentions to create a basketball in the future. One belongs to the past and the other belongs to the future. Do you think so stronger? More potential?"

Hubby Brown finished saying this, McTrick immediately said:

"So you think the Pelicans are stronger?"

"No, I didn't say that. It's not over yet and the future has not arrived yet, right?"

Huby Brown did not give an accurate answer when he went around, but he brought people's thoughts further away.

In Huby Brown's world, he seems to have seen a further future. But the Rockets and Pelicans' game has not yet been decided.

The third game of the referee blew a whistle began, and the lineup of the two teams remained basically unchanged today.

The Pelicans still Cory starts. The shooting guard was replaced by Pierce, small forward Li Feng, Al Jefferson and Gasol play in the frontcourt.

The Rockets are still a combination of Terry, Harden, Ariza, Asik and Mortyunas.

It is easy to understand that the Pelicans lineup remains unchanged. The lineup played very well in the last game, but it is puzzling that the Rockets lineup remains unchanged, because the Rockets lineup was beaten by the Pelicans in the last game!

The Rockets' lineup remains unchanged. When McTrick just wanted to say something, Huby Brown suddenly said:

"The Rockets' response today is very correct. Playing with a team like the Pelicans, you must not step into their rhythm. Once you step into their rhythm, you will not be able to change no matter how you change. But according to your own rhythm, you will have a chance to win! Therefore, you must not follow the opponent's rhythm, and no matter how difficult it is, you must stick to your own rhythm."

Huby Brown said carefully, and the Rockets' lineup that knew it would be a clever trick again.

McTrick was still very depressed because he always seemed a little insignificant around Hubby Brown.

At this moment, the referee kicked off and the basketball was thrown high into the air. The third game began.

At the beginning of the game, this is indeed the weakness of Old Gasol, and the Rockets got the ball first.

When the Rockets came to the first round, their tactics were the same as those in the second game, and the basketball first came to Asik in the high position.

But Asik is not in a hurry to pass the ball at this time. The Rockets are continuously running in low pick-and-rolls and running continuously. Motiyunas can't get stuck in the position for the first time and immediately moves to the other side for the second time. However, the second time still can't get stuck, so he comes the third time.

Mortyunas tangled at the Pelicans' basket for more than ten seconds, finally seized an opportunity and got stuck to the low post all at once.

At this time, there were only 2 seconds left before 24 seconds. The Rockets only got stuck on the main position, but it was not too late. When Asik threw the basketball in, Motiyunas took the ball and turned around to a hook that erased the board. The Rockets hit a low post at the beginning of the game today.

It's still a low position, but the effect is completely different.

At this time, Su Qun, who is a domestic broadcasting studio, said:

"The Rockets' first impression today is that they are more patient. They attacked the Rockets three times in the low position. Now they finally got the position and finally succeeded 24 seconds ago."

Huby Brown's comments were even more amazing, and he said:

"It can be seen that the Pelicans' strategy is not to let you play low, but the Rockets' strategy is that I have to try every means to play low. Today's competition for low posts will definitely be more intense, and it will definitely affect the progress of the game."

As soon as the game started, the tone was set in the first round.

The Pelicans felt the Rockets' determination, but they won the first two games, and their mentality was different.

Corey got the ball here and still wanted to play one, but at this time, Corey, the Rockets, also had a change in defense.

The Rockets are tightly attached to Corey and will not allow you to shoot. But you can break through. Corey can accept it when he wants to break through. I can pass the ball and go to the blue.

Corey broke through in one step. What was surprising is that the Rockets did not shrink significantly. They were all looking at their own people and did not let Corey find a chance to pass the ball.

In this way, Corey had to challenge Asik at the basket and shot from a long distance, and scored 2 points.

Corey still scored points today, but the effect was different. Today, Corey couldn't play a three-pointer with extremely strong explosive power, and could not connect the team through breakthroughs. He could only break through and score.

The Rockets knew that they were really weak in the point guard position, so they took the approach. I couldn't completely stop you. So they reduced the damage to a minimum. Allow Corey to break through a few, but Corey was not allowed to do anything else.

The Pelicans also scored two points, and the two teams seemed to have played a draw at the beginning.

However, although the scores of the two teams are the same, the effects are completely different. At the beginning of the third game, the rhythm deviates from the scope of the second game.

The Rockets came over again, and the first move was to play hard on the inside. Several Rockets players crossed the inside to cover.

Harden Asik took turns running in the inside. Finally, Mortyunas came out to get the ball at the high position, and Asik finally got to a position at the low position.

The Rockets spent all their efforts to get this low position in the second round, and it took almost 20 seconds to get the position in the end.

Asikka knew that there was not much time when he was in charge, so he turned around and grabbed 2 points with a hook.

The Rockets' low-post offense in the second round was completed again. Through extreme patience and continuous running, the Rockets finally hit the low post and hit their strongest points.

The Rockets scored two low posts at the beginning, and the game started with more than one point. Van Gundy decisively called a timeout.

The Pelicans' cautiousness is obvious, and Huby Brown also said:

"The Pelicans paused and shouted in time. Now that the situation has changed, it is better to shout early than to shout late than to stop late. You can adjust early.

Both teams responded very quickly in the game. Van Gundy called for a timeout and immediately arranged a joint defense on the defense.

Didn’t the Rockets repeatedly seek positions and keep pick-and-rolling in the penalty area? I might as well block the penalty area, and the road was blocked. I see how you want positions.

On the offense, Van Gundy told Corey not to break through if the opportunity was not very good, and passed the ball to Al Jefferson and Li Feng to deal with it.

That is to say, the Pelicans' offensive focus shifted from Corey to Li Feng and Al Jefferson.

Van Gundy's eyes were sharp and corrected immediately after discovering the problem. After the timeout, the Pelicans' offense shifted its focus.

Basketball went directly into the inside and Al Jefferson forced Asik to play Asik. Al Jefferson suffered a loss in playing Asik, but the Pelicans used Al Jefferson to play Asik not to completely kill him, but mainly consumed the opponent. Al Jefferson came up and hit Asik several times. When he saw that he could not play, he turned around and passed the ball to Cory. At this time, Cory remembered the head coach's instructions and immediately passed the ball to Li Feng on the side.

Li Feng faces Ariza. Ariza's defense is still focused on being close to each other today. The Rockets' overall defensive strategy today would rather let you break through than make three-pointers. The Rockets were afraid of being shot by the Pelicans in the last game.

Li Feng took the ball at this time, and Ariza also put it on to defend. Li Feng didn't use many tricks at this time. He took the ball and dribbled forward. One of them stopped urgently and the other jumped shot was to simply score two points.

The offensive center of gravity has shifted, and the Pelicans have good efficiency, because the Rockets have taken away Ariza, there are really no good defensive players.

The Pelicans quickly adjusted their offensive tactics. When the Rockets came back and wanted to get a low position, they really couldn't hold the position because the Pelicans blocked all the roads. How could you get stuck? There was a sea of ​​people under the basket and there was no room at all.

Under such circumstances, the Rockets could not get the position at the basket, and Asik shot very far from the basket, so he naturally missed the shot.

The Rockets' repeated low-post ball strategy failed!

Once the Rockets' offensive tactics are blocked, they will immediately adjust with the Pelicans when they come back to defend, and the focus of the defense suddenly shifts to Li Feng's side. Once Li Feng gets the ball, several more people will faintly respond to defend Li Feng.

The game just started, and Li Feng was not yet ready to play. He steadily passed the ball to Al Jefferson in his heart. Al Jefferson took the ball and still played two strongly at the low post, shaking left and right. At this time, if Al Jefferson felt that there was an open position, he would play by himself, and if there was no, he would pass the ball.

In the end, Al Jefferson did not find any gaps. He just consumed Asik's physical strength.

Al Jefferson quickly transferred the basketball to Corey. Corey took the ball and dripped Terry past. After Terry, Corey took the ball and jumped directly.

Corey played well in the last game, so today I was a little confident. Harden's assisted defense came when Corey took action. Under Harden's influence, Corey missed the shot.

The Rockets basically controlled the situation. At this time, McHale blew a whistle on the sidelines.

He began to put forward new tactical requirements on the sidelines, and the Rockets' tactical code is naturally unclear.

But the moment the Rockets hit, they could clearly see that the Rockets' offensive center of gravity also shifted.

Harden got the basketball at this time. After Harden got the ball, he used his teammates' cover to break through again. Just when everyone thought the Rockets were about to repeat the same mistake, Harden broke through to the basket and suddenly stuffed the basketball to Mortyunas at the bottom line.

Motiyunas took the ball from the baseline and turned around and crushed into the inside. He turned around and came in. Motiyunas easily hooked his hand and scored two points.

So far, another way of using big men has emerged, using breakthroughs to compress space, and then the big men take the ball and continue to crush the inside.

The Rockets' approaches are not unusual, but they didn't play in the last game, but they were not prepared enough. Today they have prepared enough, so they can naturally fiddle with the methods of playing the inside line one by one.

The Rockets' inside line changed their way to get the ball. Van Gundy secretly hated the refrigerator's cunning, and then began to think about how to deal with the current situation.

At this time, Li Feng also felt the pressure when he got the basketball again. Although the score difference between the two teams has not widened, Li Feng felt sensitively that the Rockets are even more difficult to play today. The main reason is that the Rockets can play in the inside. When the opponent can stably score in the penalty area, the Pelicans are very dangerous.

However, Li Feng has no absolute influence on this situation at this time. When facing the taller Rockets, he can only help defend more diligently and delay the passes on the outside. To extend his influence to the inside, Li Feng himself is not a big man, so he cannot fully assume this responsibility.

At this time, Li Feng only needs to do one thing, that is, help the team on the offensive end.

So Li Feng, who took the ball, faced Ariza with a spy step and got up and threw a three-pointer.

Li Feng started to shoot hard and started to shoot unreasonably. This was like Harden's unreasonable breakthrough in the last game, which seemed very bloody but helpless.

"Swish!"

Although Li Feng made a three-pointer, Grandpa Hubi Brown said first:

"Li Feng started to score unreasonably. This season, Li Feng is a very rational player, but he has started to score like this now, which shows that the current situation has put him in vague pressure. If Li Feng continues to score like this, the team's chemistry will be destroyed."
To be continued...
