Chapter 183 Double Overtime Lakers Defeat the Rockets
Monday is New Year's Day, and today is the first day of 2o18.
When I woke up in the morning, the system prompted: "The host's current total score is 1oo points, his health is 38 days, and his score is 115 points alone."
At eight o'clock, the Rockets and Lakers game began.
The Rockets, who lost five consecutive games, returned to the home court to face the challenge of the Lakers, who lost five consecutive games. This is the third time the two teams have met this season. Both sides won one game in the first two times. Capela took the game with an injury in this game.
The Rockets blossomed at multiple points in the quarter, and they scored high scores and took the lead 44-37. However, the Rockets' shooting percentage fell in the second quarter, only 21 points, while the Lakers continued their good feel, with a net victory of 14 points in a single quarter, ending the first half with a 72-65 lead.
After the change of sides, the Lakers blossomed more and expanded their lead to double digits.
Harden led the team to counterattack in the final quarter and gradually approached the score, but he was injured in his leg at the end of the game and went straight to the locker room. Green made a three-pointer at the critical moment to help the Rockets drag the game into overtime.
The two teams still did not decide the winner in the first overtime, and Tucker completed the key tip-in in the second overtime, causing the Lakers to make a mistake on the defensive end.
In the end, the Rockets won 148-142, ending their five-game losing streak and giving the Lakers a 6-game losing streak.
"The host lost 2o points in this game, and the current total score is 1o points, the health is 38 days, and the score is 95 points alone." The system said.
"Which is the biggest mistake the Lakers make during the regular time of this game?" the system asked.
"Kuzma's defense at the last moment let go of Green's three-pointer." He Pan said.
In the last moment, there were more than 20 seconds left in the game, the Rockets were 3 points behind, Harden left the court due to injury, and Paul held the ball in. When Paul broke through inside, Randall was replaced to defend, Kuzma let go of Green outside the three-point line and went to the inside to assist in defense. As a result, Paul passed the ball to Green, who made a three-pointer and tied the score.
The Lakers then had a chance to win, and Kuzma chose to make a strong three-pointer from outside the three-point line with the defender, and the game entered overtime.
Kuzma's choice is very problematic in this offense and defense.
With three points ahead, there are more than twenty seconds left. At this time, you will definitely choose to defend three points first!
Even if Paul scored two points at the basket, the Lakers were still one point ahead. The Rockets still had to choose foul tactics. In this way, it is highly likely that the Lakers would win the game!
Anyway, the free throw shooting rate is also higher!
Even Paul, facing the opponent's center, how high can the shooting percentage be?!
As long as you score three points, you will have a high probability of winning the game!
I won’t talk about the last three-pointer, but it’s even more a brainless hero ball.
If there are open spaces, it doesn’t matter whether three points or two points, you can make a shot.
The problem is that someone defends!
The Lakers' last goal in the second overtime was still given to Kuzma. Kuzma still made a three-pointer, but this goal was seen through by experienced Tucker. He slapped it with a palm. The ball was still owned by the Rockets!
I have to say that Kuzma needs more training.
There was a reason why Walton put him on the bench before.
After the game, Kuzma also reflected in an interview with the media: "Today I received a lesson. I made some mistakes on the defensive end. In the last moment of the fourth quarter, Gerald Green got a chance to take a three-pointer at the open position, and we were leading the three-pointer at the time."
Netizens said: It’s okay, the main task this year is growth. To be honest, it’s been bad for all these years, and it’s not bad for this year…
"The host scored 1 point in this game, and the current total score is 1oo points, the health is 38 days, and the score is 96 points alone." The system said.
In this game, Harden performed well, scoring 40 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Paul also played well, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists. He dominated the game in overtime and helped the Rockets win.
The Rockets' 148-point single-game score in this game also set a new team's single-game score record this season, with the previous record being 146 points maintained by the Nuggets.
In this game, Harden and Paul had many small hand movements.
For example, with more than seven points left in the first quarter, Harden broke through to the basket, passed the ball, pushed Ennis No. 1o with his hand, and pushed Ennis to the ground.
At that time, the commentators said that Harden had already made an offensive foul, and if he had another ball to play, Harden would have been anxious.
For example, in the second overtime start, Paul pushed Ennis out with his left hand and then made a layup.
After watching the slow motion, the commentator said that this kind of action depends on the referee. If you make an offensive foul, you have nothing to say!
Why didn't you brag?
Superstar whistle!
As mentioned before, Harden has many small hand movements. In addition to being good at using his hands to actively find the defender's arms to commit fouls and hit a car, he is a good idea when pushing people when layups or dribbling.
The same is true for Paul.
In the previous two games between the Rockets and the Celtics, Harden had two offensive fouls in each game that were boasted by hand.
Once was wronged, twice?
One game is a black whistle, and two games?
In the final analysis, I have a problem!
Of course, the rules of the league are that attacks are beneficial. Generally speaking, if the opponent was not blown by an unreasonable whistle in the last round, this kind of action would basically not be blown by the superstar.
However, if the referee's yelling before is not good for the opponent, or the referee's whistle is already giving you a lot of face and the opponent has been protesting for a long time, you have to calm down!
You can take advantage of this once or twice, but this is not a long-term solution after all.
Once you meet someone like Smart, it is time for you to suffer a loss!
This is a superstar whistle.
If it were an ordinary player, this kind of action would usually be called an offensive foul.
Therefore, when superstars are subject to some unfair punishment, don’t be too indignant.
Because, what you often enjoy is good treatment that ordinary players cannot enjoy.
The referee gives you a lot more free throws than the average person!
This world is fair!
It’s not that I don’t report, the time has not come!

In other games, the Wizards reversed the Bulls 114-11o.
Bradley Bill performed well, scoring 39 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in the whole game.
After the game, Wizards coach Brooks praised Bill.
"I've been saying this all the time, now it's my second year, Bill is an All-Star." Coach Brooks said, "We've won seven games in the last 1 O games, and it's all about winning. If you can win, play for each other, then personal honor will come naturally."
I said it yesterday, and I also said it today. The next year, there is nothing wrong with it!
Lillard said: This is my first... Forget it, I won’t say it anymore.
...
The Pacers, who lost three consecutive games, faced the Timberwolves at home, and Oladipo continued to miss due to injury.
In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Pacers 107-9, giving their opponent a four-game losing streak.
Losing is not scary, whoever you lacks! Oladipo is really a giant!
...
The Celtics narrowly defeated the Nets 1o8-1o5, achieving three consecutive victories.
The Nets' coach is also good, but he has no cards in his hand.
...
The Clippers defeated the Hornets at home 1o6:98 and welcomed three consecutive victories.
In this game, Lu Wei scored 40 points and 8 assists, while Griffin scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 hats.
It seems that Griffin is the only iron man who has defeated the Kardashian so far!
...
The Grizzlies beat the Kings 114-96.
The Grizzlies, who averaged only 98.7 points per game, have increased their scores in the last two games!
It seems that playing a game with the Warriors has made the Grizzlies' offense clear!
Curry: I'm also blamed...
...
The Mavericks defeated the Thunder 116-113 to win the victory.
Daniels of the Mavericks performed very well, scoring 11 points in a row at the critical moment in the final quarter to help the Mavericks win the game.
The Thunder Three Big Thunder also swung well. Westbrook made 17 goals in 28 shots, scored 38 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 assists triple-double data. Paul George made 12 shots and scored 25 points, which was quite efficient. Anthony made 15 shots and scored 21 points, which was also very efficient.
The biggest problem with the team is defense.
The Thunder, who lost points per game in the season, ranked third in the league in defense, scored 116 points in this game!
It can be seen that Robertson's absence has a great impact on the Thunder.
"Will the hosts of the Raptors and Bucks bet tomorrow?" the system asked.
"Betting 10 points, the Bucks won." He Pan said.
