Harden continued to play against Cousins ​​in the frontcourt. This time Holiday assisted in defense, but Harden was in good shape and passed the ball to Gordon as soon as possible.

Gordon made a three-pointer and took a knife.

"Swish!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

8 to 2!

The Rockets started with a thrilling momentum!

They have Gordon's best sixth man halo bonus tonight, coupled with D'Antoni's lineup adjustment, which has an unexpected effect.

"Defense! Defense!"

The Rockets' outstanding performance on the court also affected the audience on the sidelines, and the cheers were overwhelming.

An invisible momentum hit the Pelicans players.

It is never easy for them to take the victory away from Houston tonight.

Holiday took the ball to the frontcourt again, and Tang Tian reached out to ask him for the ball.

The Rockets didn't go to double-team directly, he looked up at the Rockets' defense.

D'Antoni's masterpiece made Davis' misplaced advantage disappear, and Jokic's offensive threat declined under the new penalty scale, Tucker's point is not as easy as he imagined.

However, their pre-match plan was not to play this point.

Tang Tian reached out to signal the wing to pull it apart, and Jokic fell to the low post.

The Rockets replaced defenses in the interior, and Cousins ​​and Tucker replaced defenses again.

The defensive idea formulated by Buzderick is very clear. When Jokic goes out, he uses Tucker to defend Jokic. Jokic enters the inside and then returns to Cousins.

To sum up, Cousins ​​doesn't leave the three-second zone.

After seeing this, Tang Tian reached out to signal Jokic to the free throw line. While the latter moved, he accelerated a direction and passed Gordon and broke through.

Gordon's defense is much worse than Tucker. Although he has a small cannon-like body, moving horizontally has always been a weakness.

Tang Tiantu was completely eliminated after this.

Before Cousins' assisted defense came out, Tang Tian stopped and pulled out near the free throw line.

"Swish!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Tang Tian broke the Pelicans' scoring drought.

The shouts at the scene came to an abrupt end.

Tang Tian poured them a basin of cold water.

And when returning to the defensive end, the Pelicans' defense also changed. Ariza went to Gordon, and Tang Tian faced Harden like the previous two games.

Harden tried to make Cousins ​​pick-and-roll failed and gave the ball to Paul, who accelerated and broke into the layup at the basket after pick-and-roll.

Davis directly blocked the ball when he assisted in defense and grabbed the defensive rebound.

Tucker's fourth position has many benefits for the Rockets, but it also has disadvantages, such as rebounding.

Davis is not Green, Tucker can't rob it.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Tang Tian continued to play Gordon with the ball, and took another step, and then stopped to pull out again.

"Swish!"

Enter one after another!

Gordon's defense is too bad for Tucker, and Tang Tian breaks the defense too quickly, so he can't even get up with the Rockets' assisted defense!

6 to 8!

After Tang Tian scored 4 points in a row, the Pelicans narrowed the gap to 2 points!

D'Antoni and Boozderick turned to communicate.

Tang Tian’s judgment on the situation on the field was too accurate.

If the Pelicans continue to play like this, there is no need to misplace Cousins. Tang Tian can directly beat Gordon to doubt his life and defeat the Rockets directly.

"Wait for another round."

Buzzedric spoke.

Paul continued to pick-and-roll with Cousins ​​in the frontcourt, facing Jokic's mid-range shot.

D'Antoni didn't lie after the last game. The Rockets played Jokic in this game based on the Pelicans' idea of ​​playing Cousins.

If Harden is restricted, Paul will come on. If Paul is restricted again, Gordon will come on.

Anyway, it's right to fight to the death.

10-6, the Rockets continued to lead.

Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt again. At the signal from Boozderick on the sidelines, the Rockets double-teamed in advance.

Tang Tian suddenly made a decision against Holiday in front of the double team and shouted that Holiday would vote.

Holiday did not hesitate. The Rockets double-teamed against Tang Tian in the first two games, and the others were very decisive in their attacks.

"Swish!"

Basketball enters the net with a sound.

Holiday was very successful and made a three-pointer in this open space!

9 to 10!

A score difference of 1 point!

When Buzderick saw this, he felt helpless and said something to D'Antoni, who turned his head and called Morris.

What he said about waiting for a round is to look at the touch of the other people in the Pelicans. Holiday's three-pointer is of great tactical significance.

A short whistle came from the sidelines, and Morris came on the field to replace Gordon.

The Rockets were forced to give up their opening squad.

"I'll be happy to coach a guy like that, he completely turned the game around!"

Van Gundy exclaimed in the commentary seat.

He has been working in the commentary seat since resigning from the Rockets and has lost interest in the NBA head coach's job.

But it is obvious that Tang Tian's performance aroused his coaching fun again.

Tang Tian’s performance on the court seems to be more than just a player, his ball quotient looks higher than Rondo.

This will really match a defensive coach like Van Gundy.

“That must be a very easy job.”

Brin echoed.

McGrady laughed after hearing this.

These two guys...

Think about O'Neal and Barkley now. Are the commentators all Tang Chui in their bones?

Paul played Jokic single in the frontcourt, but was interfered with the middle distance and failed to enter.

Since Paul was injured in New Orleans' meniscus, his singles ability has dropped to a higher level.

Compared to Harden, his singles efficiency is much lower.

This is also the Pelicans' targeted defense before the game. If Harden is in good shape, let Tang Tian go to defend and force Paul to play singles.

This pre-match arrangement now seems to be very successful.

Davis received the defensive rebound, the Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and the ball was given to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian directly called Jokic to pick-and-roll at a high position.

If Tucker goes down, Cousins ​​will no longer shrink to the basket.

Morris's assisted defense speed is not enough, so he won't come out again, Jokic blocks one, and Tang Tian is just practicing shooting.

In the high pick-and-roll, Jokic blocked Tucker, and Tang Tian was dislocated to Cousins.

The familiar average of the last game reappeared again.

Drip the ball down and change direction continuously.

The Pelicans' wing was very wide. After Holiday made the three-pointer in the front, the Rockets' assisted defense did not dare to come up casually.

Tang Tian slowed down, and Cousins ​​was afraid of Tang Tian's shot and saved directly.

Tang Tian accelerated and directly took him.

The speed difference between the two people is too big.
