The Fifth Point Guard

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the Rockets 21-20 away.

Shentong scored "only" 5 points under Mobley's entanglement.

A three-pointer, a dunk.

But Mobley himself was not doing too well.

Only scored 3 points, made a free throw and made a successful mid-range shot.

On the Rockets' bench, Mobley, who is usually known for his good physical strength, took a big gulp of water, his chest heaved and heaved, and he was panting heavily.

"Hey, Cutino, what's wrong with you? So much physical exertion?"

Mobley got angry and said loudly: "Damn, is this rookie here to play and run on the court? Almost every round has to run two or three laps around the half court, but I am exhausted." !"

Shentong over there was also very depressed.

I didn't expect to meet a stalker today.

No matter where Shen Tong went, what he was doing, or even picking his nose, he had to face Mobley's death stare.

It doesn't feel good to be stared at all the time.

Therefore, Shentong intends to use continuous running and endurance to exhaust the old cat.

Either I ran to kill you today, or you ran to kill me!

Running-catching-shooting is one of Shentong's specialties. Mobley can prevent him from receiving any balls, which shows how tight the old cat is.

In the second quarter, when Shentong replaced Kidders on the field, Mobley also appeared on the field.

Smith: "It seems that in this game, the old cat is focusing on Shentong."

Barkley: "Let's see, so far, Shin has only scored 5 points, and he can hardly catch the ball because of Cutino. Kenny, now you know what I mean."

After running three laps around his own half, Shen Tong finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked Mobley, "Cartino, aren't you tired?"

The old cat replied out of breath: "Where there is sun, I can continue to run."

Do you think this product is solar powered?

Although Shentong was entangled by Mobley, the Nets still have no shortage of players who can score.

Martin, Van Horn, and Jefferson took turns scoring under Kidd's pitch.

The Nets gradually took the initiative in the away game.

However, the sky is unpredictable.

In an ordinary defense, Kidd accidentally sprained his ankle.

After the Cato pick-and-roll, Francis shook Kidd and went straight to the basket.

Kidd used experience to bypass Cato to block Francis' layup.

The ball did interfere, but when Kidd grabbed the rebound and fell, he didn't stand firmly on his feet.

The footage shows a very clear foot-twisting action.

It's a picture that hurts just by looking at it

With the support of Shen Tong and Jefferson, Kidd returned to the sidelines.

David Silva, the team's team medical room, touched Kidd's ankle and asked, "How does it feel, does this position hurt?"

Kidd nodded.

Silva looked stern and said to Scott: "I need to take Jason to the medical room for an examination immediately, I hope there is no bone injury."

Scott knew that there was no time to delay, so he immediately pointed to the bench.

Scalabrine stood up from the bench.

As the team's mascot, Brian finally came in handy at this moment!

Kong Wu's strong hands hugged Kidd horizontally.

This is a standard princess hug.

Under Kidd's surprised expression, Brian carried Kidd to the medical room.

Silva and other members of the medical team quickly followed.

The sidelines are a little tragic.

Kidd's end is a disaster for the Nets.

It's like a ship without an old captain, or a car without an old driver.

Brandon Armstrong comes off the bench.

Although the first-year Armstrong has great potential and tried his best to make up for the shortcomings left by Kidd on the court, he is far behind Kidd in terms of experience and field control ability.

More importantly, what he was facing was Francis, who had the ability to destroy.

Just defending the opponent's breakthrough is enough to make Armstrong feel overwhelmed.

After Kidd left the field, the Nets seemed to be lost in an instant. The Rockets beat a 19-3 in the rest of the second quarter, and the score was pulled away at once.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets rewritten the score to 55-40, holding a 15-point lead.

Shentong even swallowed duck eggs in this section.

With a score of 5 points, he walked back to the locker room depressed.

Intermission.

Barkley looked proud: "Well, Kenny, my vision is very vicious, without Jason's pass, that Shentong is a headless chicken on the court, as I said earlier, this Chinese rookie is exaggerating. Look, the Rockets are about to tear the Nets apart in the third quarter, and I think it will be very difficult for Shen to score in double figures in this game."

Smith: "Charles, don't talk too early. It's not certain whether Jason will play in the second half, and I think the Nets just can't adapt to the sudden lack of Jason on the court. After coach Byron Midfield command, they will make changes in the second half, after all, the Nets are a bunch of kids competing against a bunch of Rockets hooligans."

Barkley shook the rattle and replied: "I don't want you to think, I want me to think. In the third quarter, the winner will be decided."

Rockets locker room.

Mobley's mouth was like a machine gun, and he even hummed his own rap: "When that kid saw me, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. I lost his soul and could only score five points at halftime."

Francis was also very happy and praised Mobley's defensive performance in the first half.

"Cartino, continue to block that guy in the second half."

"Remember your $1,000, I don't want a check, just cash."

The Nets seem to have become the rocket's bag.

The atmosphere in the Nets locker room was a bit dull, which was the first time since the start of the game.

Trailing by 15 points at halftime and lacking a general on the court, the players of the Nets have no idea.

"Boom"

Silva pushed open the locker room door.

Kidd was carried back by Brian.

"Jason, what's going on?"

"Is it serious?"

"Can you still play?"

The teammates chattered.

Brian put Kidd down, and Kidd lifted his foot, which was wrapped in thick gauze.

Although there was a bit of a smell, everyone still held their breath and listened to the boss's speech.

"After David's inspection, there was no bone injury."

As soon as Kidd finished speaking, the locker room immediately cheered up, and some people even applauded.

In this new Nets, it is no exaggeration to say that Kidd is the spiritual leader and pillar of the team.

"But I'm afraid, I have to rest for a few days, and I won't be able to play for the rest of today's game." Kidd's face was helpless.

"clap clap"

Scott clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Boys, although Jason can't play today, our game will continue. The boss of the team is not here. This is a good opportunity to fight for power!"

There's also the mood to joke around in this situation, showing off Scott's optimism.

Tactical whiteboard, black pen.

"In the second half, we played like this"

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Shentong frantically rubbed against the baseline.

Mobley is still close to the press.

Van Horn's first pick-and-roll.

Flashed by Mobley.

Just as he was about to catch up with Shentong, the second barrier -- Martin's body lay in front of him again.

Shen Tong just ran in place, and Armstrong's pass followed closely.

"Damn it!" Mobley didn't expect that almost the entire Nets team was playing for Shentong.

Shen Tong jumped up and shot.

At this moment, the basket is the ocean.

It has been a long time since Shentong breathed so freely.
