Chapter 829: Too dependent

Li Liang's elbow not only relieved Westbrook, but also thundered the fans at the scene.
However, deflation comes at a price. Li Liang had a technical foul. The ball not only gave the Rockets, they also got a chance for a technical foul.
Beverly didn't see any blood, but a huge bag bulged on his head.
The TV station gave him a special close-up of the forehead. The swollen boss seemed to have a horn.
Kevin McHale was not satisfied on the sidelines, saying that Li Liang had a bad ball and should be fined.
The referee warned you to beep again and fine you.
McHale shut up and wondered what the world was like.
Harden stood on the free throw line, the free throw hit, the Rockets approached a point.
After this ball, Westbrook really calmed down.
After losing his breath, he started playing well.
Once Westbrook's head calmed down, it was quite scary.
His breakthrough is no longer advancing, but he is looking at opportunities as well as his teammates.
Break through, pass, assist.
Westbrook knew he had a bad outside shot tonight, so he no longer forced his shot, but tirelessly used his breakthrough to tear the Rockets' defense and create better opportunities for his teammates.
On the Rockets side, Harden does the same thing as Westbrook.
It's just that Harden has an additional business that touches the porcelain and keeps making fouls.
Adams was fouled by Harden three times in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, four fouls came back to the bench and rested.
The Thunder has always maintained a lead of around 7-8 points.
The connection between Li Liang and Westbrook supported the Thunder's offense.
And the connection between Harden and Howard is equally successful.
Durant began to rest again on the court.
Tonight basketball seems to hate Durant in particular, but he can't get it.
He seemed invisible on the offensive end. In the third quarter, he only shot twice and hit a goal.
Durant played the third quarter and returned to the bench to rest at the end, feeling he was not sweating.
Looking at the scoreboard, the Thunder led the Rockets 8 points into the fourth quarter.
Li Liang played the third quarter. Donovan is now determined to increase Li Liang's playing time.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams came off the bench, and the Thunder left Westbrook on the court.
The Rockets are led by Howard.
As a result, the Rockets attacked the ball for the first time, but were snatched near the center of Westbrook.
Westbrook scored the ball to the bottom corner, and as a result, Waiters wasted a free 3-pointer.
The Thunder's three-pointer tonight is quite bad. If they make a more accurate three-pointer, the point difference will definitely be greater.
The Rockets launched a counterattack, and the ball was given to Beasley on the wing. Beasley would not catch the shot. He wouldn't have to dribble the ball, make a turn, add a little back, and then a mid-range jump shot from the bottom corner on the right Hit.
Some NBA players are like this. The simple offensive method has a rather high hit rate. It is necessary to attach a bunch of pre-movements and complete the movements before the ball can be integrated.
Now Durant and Li Liang are not on the court, the Thunder's offensive core is completely Westbrook.
After failing to try to organize the offense, Westbrook Crossover broke the defender and forcibly broke through the middle.
In the face of Howard's assist defense, a difficult toss shot was made in the right hand, hitting a rebound and finding two points.
The Rockets quickly chased points, served quickly in the backcourt, and passed directly to the frontcourt. Corey Brewer received the ball and dunked with both hands.
The Rockets' chasing style has been the mainstream tactic of the Rockets before Howard did not come.
Howard doesn't even need to participate in the offense, just stay in the backcourt and then defend.
Westbrook once again hit the ball with the ball, and under Howard's interference, the layup missed.
Westbrook signaled to the referee that the opponent had a defensive thug, but the referee ignored it.
The Rockets launched a fast break, Ariza received the pass and wanted to dunk.
The Thunder two defensive players interfered with a pinch, suspected of fouling, but the referee did not sound the whistle.
The dunk did not succeed, but Ariza still grabbed the ball, and then passed the ball to the left corner.
Jason Terry took the ball and made a 3-pointer shot!
The score became 84:89 and the Rockets chased the difference to 5 points.
There was a lot of oil left in Old Terry's jet fuel tank.
As a projection outside line to give the Lone Ranger the pinnacle of the peak period, in Dallas, he used his three-pointers and outside shots to hurt the Rockets and Rockets fans.
Now that Houston can make some contributions, the NBA is indeed a very small league.
And Westbrook will not stop his charge.
After a pick-and-roll on the outside, he continued to charge in and challenge Howard.
This time he chose a difficult throw from the left hand and hit a two-pointer.
On the Rockets side, Terry missed a breakthrough shot, but Beasley grabbed an offensive rebound and succeeded.
The Thunder game was pulled to the same level by the Rockets, so it can be said that all kinds of mistakes have been made again.
It can be said that it is not like a team that ranks second in the league and has 60 wins.
And Westbrook had already killed his red eyes. He held the explosive bag again-no, it should be like a basketball-like explosive bag and hit the inside of the Rockets.
The Rockets inside Howard is still very solid.
But Westbrook relied on rushing and killing, slashing a hole, causing Ariza's defensive foul.
penalty.
The game also entered the official timeout.
TV stations advertised, and the teams on both sides took a break to make substitutions.
On the bench, Li Liang squeezed Westbrook's arm and asked, "Are you rushing, isn't it hurting?"
Westbrook glanced at Li Liang with strange eyes, "What basketball do you play for fear of pain?"
He can be said to have bruises on his arm, all of which were killed by a breakthrough.
Li Liang has suffered a lot of injuries on his arm, and compared with Westbrook is still a big witch.
After the timeout, two free throws ended and Westbrook came off.
He could finally take a break, Li Liang and Durant appeared.
Li Liang and Durant exchanged glances, only one meaning: Strive not to let Westbrook play!
On the one hand, he distressed his scarred body, on the other hand, he also had to distress the home basket and the hearts of fans.
In Westbrook's state tonight, let him come at a critical moment later, I don't know what a panic-stricken operation is coming out.
The state of his game is so-so, with less calm and more heads.
I exchanged my eyes and reached a consensus.
The two don't want to fight with the Rockets anymore. If they go on like this, they will be defeated by the Rockets with rich experience.
At this time, Harden also returned to the field, and Howard went down to rest for a while.
In the Rockets' offensive round, Harden gave the ball to Beasley.
Beasley is in good shape and has scored 11 points.
But the Thunder's defensive intensity suddenly came up.
Durant no longer took a walk, gently tapped his finger, and broke the ball from Beasley's hand.
Durant counterattacked himself with the ball, and Li Liang's running back generally rushed to the basket.
A ground pass to Li Liang, Li Liang received the ball with both hands, dribble, and then firmly clamped the ball in his hands with both hands, burst, and dunked with both hands!
Both Beasley and Ariza, who are chasing and defending, are hung on Li Liang, and they still haven't been able to block Li Liang's buckle.
Get on the free throw line and make a free throw.
McHale smelled an unknown breath.
He immediately took advantage of the free throws to replace Howard.
Poor Howard took a rest for a round, but his wasn't hot enough to play again.
During the offense, Harden failed to eat Robertson one-on-one and passed the ball to Beverly in the 24 seconds.
Beverly may be a bit dizzy when his head is smashed, and his hit rate declines.
The outsider missed a three-pointer.
Li Liang got a rebound in the backcourt and didn't rush forward slowly through the half.
Then fire directly at the front, three steps away from the three-point line!
Three points away!
Hit!
McHale's scalp was a bit numb, but he still didn't call a timeout.
Head iron, forget the fear of Li Liang's three-pointer.
Corey Brewer took the opportunity to break the shot and scored two points after repeatedly passing the ball.
But the Thunder's offense is already thunderous.
Li Liang's outside and Durant's pick-and-roll, Durant's position as a cover and defensive man, directly pulled up and made a three-point shot!
Hit three again!
Li Liang and Durant played a small climax of 9:0 together~EbookFREE.me~ The personal strength of these two people is too strong, and at the same time enter the state, the opponent can't defend.
The Rockets have always used the "intelligence IQ suppression method" to defend.
As a result, in the fourth quarter, Li Liang and Durant joined hands, and the smart IQ reoccupied the highlands, and the Rockets' defense was gone.
McHale called for a time-out, substitutions, and the Rockets' main force reappeared.
Then McHale looked at the Thunder bench and found that Donovan had no plans to replace Westbrook.
McHale stomped on the sidelines and it was estimated that the ball could not be won.
The Rockets are still a little tactically overwhelmingly dependent on Westbrook.
Such a team cannot go too far in the playoffs.
