Beng!!!!
Answer ball!!
James·Harden, counterattacked with a chop.
Rockets cheers rang out again at the home court.
The last fifty-four seconds.
Chen Xi came to Frontcourt with the ball.
The duel between him and Harden continues.
Chen Xi is at the position of Left 45-degree angle. After taking a step on the spot, he directly collects the ball, Shot Fake.
But Harden didn't stagger, it just took a step forward and reached out to interfere, without completely losing its position.
Because Chen Xi stopped the ball, he had to quickly play the ball to the right.
Alexander on the other side stepped forward to respond with understanding, and then sent the message back again.
Chen Xi, who regained the ball, started to break through without stopping, taking two steps forward with Harden, then changed hands behind his back, and at the same time, his assistant hand pushed LeBron in a concealed manner.
Then Step-back, and quickly completed Three-Point Shot.
Basketball flew by in the air.
Huh~~~
Three-Pointer ball, Swished Through the Net.
Harden complained to Referee dissatisfiedly. Chen Xi had just been suspected of Offensive Foul, but unfortunately, the opinion was not adopted.
On the other side, Coach De couldn't hold back and called out the team's last Timeout.
Passive, too passive.
This is what Coach De is thinking at the moment.
The entire Fourth Quarter was extremely passive.
Rockets's offense can almost be said to have no stable point.
This is a very rare situation.
But at this time, the players of Thunder performed very well.
The short time Timeout was not enough for him to come up with a good strategy.
Coach De could only simply draw an offensive strategy for Harden, and then pour a bowl of chicken soup.
Then Timeout ends.
Harden returned to the field with a round belly.
Tucker serves, Paul catches the ball from the sideline, breaks through quickly, makes an emergency stop and changes direction, widens the distance from Alexander, and then finds Harden.
Two people Cross Screen.
Harden On the Move caught the ball, and then took advantage of the opportunity when Chen Xi was stuck to quickly break through, rush to the Three-Pointer line, and jump directly, Three-Point Shot.
Huh~~~
Needless to say, chicken soup does have some uses.
Double agent D'Antoni: "This wave all depends on me!"
Return to the score difference of Three-Pointer.
There are only twenty-seven seconds left.
Thunder The last attack.
Rockets Team presses the whole court.
Chen Xi advanced with the ball after receiving the pass from Alexander Green.
Continuously flashing left and right, dribbling the ball across half the court.
After seeing the approaching figure of Paul out of the corner of his eye, he immediately jumped out of the ball.
Alexander on the other side catches the ball, pulls it out again, killing time, waiting to return the ball to Chen Xi.
But Rockets chose to foul directly.
Time is running out.
Moreover, if the ball is in Alexander's hands, they are willing to take a gamble on this rookie's mental quality.
At the critical moment, step on Alexander of Free-Throw Line.
The team's victory lies on this young man's head.
After taking a deep breath, despite the overwhelming boos, Alexander dialed the first Free Throw.
Basketball landed on the back edge of the basket, bounced twice, and then fell to the side.
Missed the first free throw!
Chen Xi walked up from outside the Three-Pointer line and high-fived Alexander.
"It's okay, just relax, just like you did during training."
Young Sga nodded imperceptibly, then looked at Referee and took Basketball.
Second penalty.
After taking another deep breath, follow your muscle memory and strike steadily.
Huh~~
The second free throw was made.
Thunder leads by 4 points!
At the critical moment, Alexander withstood the pressure and hit Free Throw, reducing the difference between the two teams in Possession to two Possession.
Rockets Team no longer has Timeout.
Paul Backcourt advanced quickly, passed Midcourt Line and then scored the ball.
Harden catches the ball and looks for Pick-and-Roll from Capela. Move directly to Three-Point Shot.
Dang!!!
It's a pity that Touch couldn't continue the previous goal.
Basketball pops up.
Noel jumped up high and picked up a board angrily.
After protecting Rebound, it was passed to Chen Xi.
Chen catches the ball and brings it to Frontcourt.
Waiting for the last four or five seconds to pass.
Then, with the whistle announcement of Referee, the victory of the game was officially determined.
Thunder 114 to 110, defeated Rockets.
Chen Xi made 19 of 32 shots from the field, and the super Double-double led the team to victory with a blast of 53 points, 6 rebounds and 13 assists.
At the same time, Alexander made 9 of 19 shots from the field and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.
Both men set new career scoring records at the same time.
On Rockets's side, Harden made 10 of 22 shots from the field, and Three-Pointer made 5 of 13 shots, with only 29 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
Paul only made 5 of 13 shots and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.
Capela scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists by eating the cake, but the combined score of the team's two cores was not as high as that of Chen Xi alone, so the loss was not a surprise.
After the game officially ended, Chen Xi threw the ball coolly and turned towards the bench.
Teammates people gathered around and celebrated together excitedly.
This is Rockets, not some cat or dog!!
This is Western Conference Finals's opponent last season!
Winning this kind of competition will give people more spiritual stimulation and give them a greater sense of accomplishment.
After a brief celebration, Chen Xi ushered in the post-game interview session.
"Chris, you are great. You scored 42 points against Pelicans, 37 points against Cavaliers, and today you scored 53 points against Rockets. What prompted you to do this?"
"Well, the team was suffering from injuries, and Russell told me that I needed to stand up, so I stood up, stayed aggressive, stayed confident, and finished Shot with a relaxed attitude... Well, that's it."
"Yes, we have all seen it. You carried the team on your shoulders, walked forward alone, and led the team to victory. In this game, your personal score was more than James·Harden and Chris·Paul combined. What do you think of this?"
"No, it wasn't me who carried the team, it was the Teammatess who carried me forward. Without the shots made by Vince, Seth, Jeff, and Jerami, I would have been in a dilemma of being double-teamed. It was their shots that liberated me. We are a team, and victory belongs to all of us."
Chen keenly discovered the hot spots in the problem and responded very quickly to public relations.
"As for the two core players of Rockets, I can only say that I am very glad that their Touch performance tonight was not good. Everyone knows the team-leading ability of Chris·Paul, and everyone also knows the scoring ability of James Harden. They just did not perform well tonight, which gave us a chance. I am looking forward to another showdown with Rockets after Russell and Anthony come back."
The reporter listened to Chen Xi's answer with some regret, but failed to hear what she wanted. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, she suddenly saw the figure behind Chen Xi, and immediately Step Back decisively shut her mouth.
