NBA super small ball center

With only five minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors and Rockets once again fielded their main lineups.

The Warriors didn't change much, still using Bogut as a center and not using a five-man lineup.

The Rockets also put Howard on the court.

Wang Lang sat on the sidelines, carefully watching the next game.

As soon as the Rockets came up, they continued the strategy of chasing points, allowing Harden to take the initiative to attack and rush inside with Howard's pick-and-roll.

Bogut immediately stepped up to the defense.

But Harden stretched out his arms and forced Bogut to make a layup, and the foul action was very obvious.

Bogut couldn't dodge it and touched Harden's arm.

The referee blew for a foul and made two free throws.

Bogut "buy one get two free" as soon as he came on the court and got his third foul.

Cole looked helpless and covered his eyes.

Wang Lang saw this situation and knew that his chance to play had arrived.

But he couldn't laugh or cry about Harden's ability to make fouls at the pinnacle.

At the same time as Harden made free throws, Kerr replaced Wang Lang for Bogut.

Wang Lang had been prepared for this, and he stood calmly next to the rebound, staring at Harden for a free throw.

Harden made accurate free throws, scoring both of them.

The Warriors are 45-37 with an eight-point lead.

The Warriors attacked, and Green came to the frontcourt with the ball.

Wang Lang also came over to block Curry, blocked Beverley, and let Curry come to the left side of the arc to catch the ball.

Beasley, the Rockets power forward, immediately released Green to supplement Curry.

Beverley chased after him, blocking the way of the library.

Curry was caught and passed the ball to Green inside the three-point line.

Wang Lang also took advantage of the opportunity at this time to run to the bottom corner of the right side and prepare to receive the ball.

Howard really didn't defend it, and still stood under the basket.

Green also took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Wang Lang.

Wang Lang caught the ball and hit a three-point shot, scoring 20 points.

The Warriors have an 11-point lead at 48-37.

Harden glared at Howard with some dissatisfaction.

Howard didn't react and completely ignored Harden.

The Rocket coach was also embarrassed and immediately made a gesture.

A Smith in the live broadcast room has already begun to smile: "Friends, lazy Howard has begun to swing and has not run to the three-point line to defend at all."

O'Neal nodded: "This guy Howard doesn't want to leave the basket, he also wants more rebounds and blocks." "

The Rockets attacked, and Harden dribbled to beyond the three-point line.

Howard took the initiative to block and give Harden space to shoot.

In order to prevent Harden from breaking through, Thompson has stepped back to defend early.

Wang Lang also made up for the past to prevent Harden from shooting.

Harden made a feint and rushed straight to the basket.

But Thompson blocked Harden's moves.

Harden also passes the ball to Howard and lets Howard receive the ball in the box.

Howard jumped straight from the free-throw line and tried to force a dunk with his physicality.

But Wang Lang had already predicted Howard's goal, cut the ball at the moment Howard took off, slapped the basketball in Howard's hand, successfully broke the ball, and passed it to Green.

Green also immediately dribbled to the front court and launched a counterattack.

The Warriors all followed.

Wang Lang's speed was very fast, completely shook off Howard, who didn't want to catch up, and came to the basket.

Green also passed the ball as soon as possible and handed it to Wang Lang.

Wang Lang's catch is a violent dunk, and he dunks with both hands to score.

The Warriors fans at the scene were boiling, standing up, and excited.

Wang Lang also heard the shout of "sea waves" and responded to the fans with his hands to make a "freestyle" action.

He scored 22 points from this game.

The Warriors are 50-37 with a 13-point lead.

A Smith covered his eyes in the live broadcast room: "Howard, this guy is really unflattering, he could have easily made a layup and protected the basketball with his physical fitness, but he wanted to dunk, but he was broken and counterattacked."

"But this Wang Lang's performance is really wonderful, a just right steal and a wonderful dunk, from defense to offense, incisive.

O'Neal smiled: "I said earlier, Howard has a problem with his attitude and doesn't want to play well, and now you can see it, and Wang Lang is the real interior hegemon, from defense to offense, flawless." The

Rockets coach couldn't take it anymore and called a timeout.

Wang Lang also returned to the bench.

At this time, there were only 4 minutes left in the second quarter of the game.

Kerr showed appreciation: "Well done, you defended Howard very successfully, not only blocked Howard's dunk, but also successfully played a counterattack, which is wonderful."

"But Harden won't give up, he'll make you foul, you don't have to worry too much, just keep your distance from Harden, and if he forces an inside layup, you let him score, don't touch him."

Wang Lang nodded: "Don't worry, coach, I know what I should do." "

The timeout is over and the game continues.

Howard was still on the court, but his face wasn't very good.

Harden wasn't happy either, and seemed to have some arguments with Howard.

The Rockets attacked, and Harden dribbled to the perimeter.

Facing Thompson's defense, Harden made a feint, but didn't let Thompson retreat to defend.

Howard still came over to block the pick-and-roll.

Harden also took advantage of the trend and rushed to the inside.

This time, Harden used a change-of-direction breakaway and successfully hit the basket.

Wang Lang also defended under the basket.

Harden made a layup and leaned on Wang Lang, stretching his arms outstretched, wanting to make a foul.

Wang Lang immediately retreated to defend and make room.

Harden scored a layup but didn't draw a foul.

Wang Lang successfully avoided the "buy one, get two free" situation.

In the following round, both sides also executed their respective strategies.

Harden kept trying to make fouls, but Wang Lang dodged them and didn't succeed.

In the last few minutes, Wang Lang only had one foul without the ball and no free throws.

And Harden also scored on a layup, scoring 6 points, plus the previous 2 points, and scored 8 points in the last 4 minutes.

On the Warriors' side, the Rockets used a defensive switch strategy and used Beasley to defend Wang Lang, but did not let Wang Lang continue to shoot outside.

But Wang Lang's blocking still gave Curry a chance to shoot.

Beasley's defensive ability is not as good as Howard's, and Curry also dribbled with his back, passed Beasley to shoot, scored 6 points, and was inseparable from Harden.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors were 56-45 with an 11-point lead.

The Rockets recovered some points but couldn't stop the Warriors from maintaining their advantage.

Wang Lang also sat there during the break, thinking about the goal of this game.

He had in mind a double-double of scoring more than 30 points and scoring 30 points and 10 rebounds.

If he could, Wang Lang still wanted to get 5 steals.

After all, the Rockets' offense has an obvious weakness, that is, it revolves around Harden alone, and everyone else is just support.

If you cut off Harden's pass to your teammates, you can not only limit the Rockets' offense, but also get a lot of opportunities to counterattack.

Wang Lang's thoughts coincide with Cole's.

Kerr also made a tactical deployment at this time: "Our defense in the second half is key, to let Harden score alone, limit his teammates, cut off Harden's passing lane, and let Harden consume physical strength alone.

"Offensively, I will let Curry and Wang Lang play blocking and pick-and-roll, and at the same time give Wang Lang a chance to play Beasley alone, just near the restricted area.

Wang Lang was a little surprised: "The coach is willing to let me play singles?"

Kerr nodded: "Yes, Beasley doesn't defend well, you will blow him up." If they switch with Howard, you're going back to beyond the three-point line looking for opportunities to leave the Rockets at bay.

Wang Lang understood and patted his chest: "Okay!"
