Chapter 277
In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Rockets' backup small forward Witherspoon suddenly attacked.
He first hit Van Horn, who was a head taller than him, twice in a row under the basket.
Then he rushed into the interior after receiving a pass from his teammates, taking advantage of the time difference to eat the outside defensive gate Laga Bell, and successfully played two plus one.
In just 67 seconds, one person scored 7 points in a row, and instantly overtook the difference.
78-76, the Rockets, who were playing on the road, overtook at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Witherspoon is a man of temperament, neither cheering nor celebrating after the goal, just silently standing outside the three-point line waiting for the opponent to attack.
The eyes are sharp, and it feels a little bit cheap and old.
Coach Zhang: This is also a ruthless person, back then, with the Heat, the Knicks' playoff data was also an average of 20 plus 10 per game, and he played very resolutely under the basket, not scared of Mo Ning at all, Ewing and the like, dare to play and dare to rush.
Xu Jicheng: Yes, I remember that at that time, the program team also made a short forward program, which specifically introduced him, and relied on the back of the basket to run rampant in the league.
As long as this kind of small forward can shoot and defend fiercely, he can always have a foothold in the league, and he will have food anywhere.
On Philadelphia's side, Aaron McGee missed the shot again.
Piakowski, a white forward on the Rockets' side, shielded the rebound and put it in Witherspoon's hands.
Coach Zhang: You see, when Mobley and Francis are not on the court, they can dribble through the half court by themselves, which is very versatile.
Witherspoon, with his hands hot, slowly dribbled beyond the three-point line, and Ragabel was clubbing in front of him.
Bell's position is very particular, that is, to give the opponent half a step away, tempting the opponent to shoot directly outside the three-point line.
Witherspoon's three-point shooting averages less than 0.8 per game, with a small number of shots and a low shooting percentage, less than 30 percent, and he has studied the opponent's technical characteristics.
Witherspoon didn't stick to the ball either, pausing for half a second before moving the ball away.
Cato inside stepped forward to catch the ball and raised it above his head, while white forward Piakowski immediately went around the right side of the three-point line to catch the ball and then dribbled before making a shot.
This ball Rockets played very patiently.
The rotation lineup is no worse than the main team, and it is even more fluid.
The camera kept switching to the face of Coach Bol on the sidelines to see if he would bring Rayong, Haywood, Van Horn and other main players to the field in advance.
The Rockets relied on Witherspoon and Cato's inside and outside to play back and forth with the defending champions.
85-82, with six minutes and seven seconds left in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia called a timeout.
After this timeout, Rayong, Heywood and others all appeared.
After Rayong came on the court, Philadelphia was much more intimidating on the ball.
Rayong first smashed a jumper from beyond the three-point line to Van Horn inside and helped the latter dunk.
Then, after rushing into the inside, he flicked his wrist and gave his back to Hywood under the basket in a dashing manner, assisting the latter to eat the cake.
For two rounds in a row, they all started from the inside.
Team Rocket's Da Yao also played, and Da Yao finally played.
After Da Yao came on the court, he began to reach for the ball at the free throw line.
Van Gundy is still very cautious, the fourth quarter gave Da Yao half a quarter to rest and adjust, and he still wants to win the opponent.
Da Yao turned around with the ball, raised the ball over his head with the frame, and Francis took Rachel Bell away.
Witherspoon, who had performed well, remained on the court, receiving a pass from Da Yao on the right and squatting again to make a direct shot.
Ragabel immediately turned back to defend, and Witherspoon turned to Francis on the flank.
I played very patiently, and the opportunity came out.
It's a pity that the unguarded Francis's three-point shot was a bit hard and bounced out.
Although it didn't score, the ball was played very patiently, and it passed the hands of four people, which is the basketball that Van Gundy wanted.
The offense wasn't over yet, and as the rebound jumped a little far, Witherspoon stepped forward and hugged him directly into his arms.
As he moved, Ragabel on the side followed suit, and Aaron McGee's attention was also attracted.
Rayong could only go to the unguarded side of Francis on the other side to help defend.
Witherspoon quickly stepped down against the double and pressed the ball inside, and then suddenly saw the right moment to come with a powerful combination of balls, which ran down Rajabel's chin to his chest from top to bottom, and at the same time took a big step to the side, shook the space and twisted his shot.
This short neckless striker continues his solo show.
Veterans don't die.
[Spoon Front!!]
This is the apt name given to him by the fans, and his face is full of ruthlessness.
Coach Zhang: It's really chic, this ball is very beautiful, and it plays like Kobe.
Xu Jicheng: Especially when the ball was combined, the center of gravity of the defender was taken away, and I felt that he was going to rush directly to the basket, and even Heywood inside followed.
The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Witherspoon's escape directly caused a shock to the opposing defense, and he also successfully seized the opportunity of this attack.
Who can slash the sword?
"Well done!!" (Well done)
Da Yao immediately stepped forward to high-five him to celebrate, Witherspoon was not interested, just lazily stretched out his hand, and then turned around and pointed in the direction of Rayong, "Look inside and don't let this guy take a step"
is very sober, after Rayong came on the court, Witherspoon took over the previous Jim Jackson task and took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of defending Rayong.
Rayong began to arch sideways from beyond the three-point line.
It's also strange, although Witherspoon's height is not high, but he is really energetic, and it is really not easy for Rayong to fight this kind of square warrior, and he barely moved an inch after a few consecutive strokes.
After thinking about it, he could only take it once and half-turn around to the left side that he was familiar with, and at the same time raise his center of gravity again, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to catch up and exert his strength again.
Witherspoon is an old man who just stands hunched and maintains his defensive position and doesn't reach out to try to slice the ball like Jim Jackson does.
Coach Zhang: The defense is very smart, always keep in the most correct defensive position, do not rush or slow, and do not fight with you for speed, it is to consume you.
Director Zhang spoke highly of Witherspoon's defense.
Rayong crossed the dribble again, followed by a continuous dribble with his right hand, and after taking a big step, he pulled his body back and jumped
directly! Witherspoon jumped
! The big hand went straight to Rayong's face!
Xu Jicheng: This is directly covering his eyes?
It's not going to basketball at all, but directly covering the opponent's face!!
