Chapter 1253 The Unexpected Rising Character
In the first 6 minutes, the two teams were tied. When a local technical timeout came, the score was 20-20!
"Amazing Rockets, if you are strong, you will be strong. The previous two games against the Lakers were indistinguishable. This is the case again. It seems that the civilian version of the Big Three is also a real Big Three."
"It's beautiful! For me, an old fan of more than ten years, it's so enjoyable to see Adelman and Jackson fight again."
"The Lakers play the Rockets in the Western Conference finals of the playoffs by one person! This is really a new year for Chinese fans!"
"Then the Rockets have to win this game. If they lose, they will either be fourth or fifth. They will definitely meet the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs, so let's all cheer for the Rockets!"
"What you said above is good, but I think the Lakers have a better chance of winning. This game has already scored 6 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds at the peak of the season, while Kobe has 8 points, Gasol has 4 points and 3 rebounds, and JKJ has 4 points and 3 rebounds at the same time. The Lakers seldom lose when they show off."
"Not necessarily. The Rockets have Yao with 8 points and are invincible inside. Although McGrady only has 2 points, he has 3 assists and 1 steal. The most surprising thing is Brooks. This guy can really run. I think Fisher is on the right track. This kind of speed player is going to be too much."
...
The two teams did not live up to the expectations of the fans, and the fans were all hooked, taking advantage of this gap to express their views on the Internet.
And no one expected that what the fan said at the end really became the turning point of the game!
The timeout ended, the Lakers replaced Ji Feng for a short rest, and the rest remained unchanged, while Artest was replaced by Battier on the Rockets side, and Uncle Mu replaced Dayao.
This substitution is seen as an opportunity for the Lakers, because the Lakers now have some advantages in the inner line. Although Uncle Mu is not old, he is the only guy in the NBA who is obsessed with age. His movement and confrontation are not the same as when he was young. On the same day, Bynum can't beat Dayao, but he is still very confident in playing Uncle Mu.
The fact is the same, the Lakers will naturally seize this opportunity, the first attack from Fisher to Bynum, who turned his back to Uncle Kaimu and scored the ball.
The Lakers take the lead!
Afterwards, the Rockets wanted to copy the previous tactics, but without Dayao, the level of the pick-and-roll was not a little bit worse. Scola was also watched dead by Gasol. In the last game, Gasol was abused by Scola a few times. After the second time, I went back and studied Scola's style of play for a while. Now Gasol is worthy of Scola. It's not that Scola has scored 2 points so far.
Scola was considered dead. Uncle Mu and Battier didn't have the ability to play singles, so naturally they would give McGrady, but Kobe defended very well.
Looking back, the Lakers did the same, and Bynum succeeded in hitting Uncle Mu back again. Although many fans hoped to see Uncle Mu's famous finger wagging again, there was nothing he could do about Bynum's back hitting at the moment.
"Not bad!~ Dude!" Ji Feng stood up on the bench and high-fived Bynum who came running back, and patted his butt by the way.
After scoring twice in a row, the Lakers have already led by 4 points, which is very beneficial to the Lakers. As long as they continue to maintain this momentum, the Lakers have a chance to get a good lead in this quarter.
Not only Ji Feng thinks so, but Rockets fans also think so. This lineup obviously can't beat the Lakers, and the Lakers have caught their weaknesses. Many fans are shouting for substitutions.
But at this time, an unexpected guy stepped forward, that is Brooks, the player who is most likely to be ignored by everyone among the first ten players from both sides!
This 2007 rookie is considered to be in the same class as Ji Feng, and he was selected as a teammate with Ji Feng in the rookie game last year, but compared with the 2007 double stars Ji Feng, Durant, Oden, and Horford, this No. No one knows Xiu so far. Even though he is in the Rockets and becomes the starting point guard this season, in the eyes of many Chinese fans, he is just a weakened version of Alston.
That's right, this guy looks like the kind of guy who is easy to be ignored at first glance. He is short in stature, thin in body, and belongs to the smallest type in the NBA, which also means that he has almost no confrontation ability. In the NBA, there is no confrontation It means that there is no defense, and this thin body has average physical fitness, so the offense is just like that.
That's right, this is the first impression many fans have of him, and it's exactly the same as what was written in the scout report during the draft. Many Chinese fans even laughed and said that Brooks is a CBA guy from his appearance, which means that he is in the CBA. After finishing the NBA rookie contract, it is estimated that the CBA is not far away...
This statement sounds right...
In the past two seasons so far, Brooks has performed so-so, averaging 27 minutes per game, contributing 11 points, and 3 assists. The highest score is only 17 points, and the highest assists are 8. This data is for a top five starter in the Western Conference. As far as point guards are concerned, they are basically hovering around the passing line.
And his shortcomings are also very obvious. In addition to the physical defects mentioned earlier, his overall view is very weak, his defensive awareness is poor, his assist ability is poor, and he is very sticky to the ball.
So at this time, no one would think that he would stand up and help the team change the situation, but tonight, Brooks seems to have found a rhythm!
The Rockets attacked, scoring two goals in a row made the Rockets players a little impatient. McGrady kept running to get rid of Kobe's marking, but he never had a chance, and no one in the Lakers paid attention to this dribbling guy.
But Brooks suddenly chose to break through by himself. Fisher was too close, and Brooks even passed him in one step!
"Oh~!" Hearn exclaimed for a while, as if he didn't expect Brooks to break through so resolutely.
The Lakers had no one to defend inside because of lack of preparation, and Brooks easily scored a goal!
"Pay attention to the defense! Derek, don't stick so close!" Zen Master didn't say more about the ball on the sidelines. He mainly reminded the Lakers' defense that he didn't pay enough attention to Brooks. Dumplings.
The Lakers were not affected, and the offense continued, but Bynum, who scored two goals in a row, failed to score this time. The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Uncle Mu controlled the rebound and passed it to Brooks.
Brooks directly chooses fast break, Fisher pursues and defends with all his strength, but Brooks is really too fast, he can't keep up at all!
Brooks made an emergency stop jumper in the frontcourt!
Hit again!
The score was tied!
"Fischer's weakness has been exposed. His confrontation ability is first-class. His key ball grasping ability and field rhythm are not bad, but his biggest enemy is his own age. He can't run anymore. Multiple shots of Brooks overpowering Fisher's defense!" Barkley said.
