Chapter 291 I Will Make Fouls

Chapter 291 I Will Make Fouls

"Lowry, when you match up with Harden tonight, you must be careful that Harden makes a foul." Nas was still explaining tactics to Lowry before playing.

Lowry is considered a very good veteran in the league.But when Lowry faced Harden, both height and golf quotient were too far behind.

At the start of the game, Siakam jumped to the midfielder and won the first wave of offensive opportunities.

Lowry faced Harden and played directly.

With a breakthrough on the right, Harden retreated quickly.

This season, Harden has done a very good job even in the defense that has always been criticized.

It seems that Harden is determined to win this year's MVP trophy.

Lowry made the first throw and missed.

Capela gets a defensive rebound.

Capela's improvement this season is very obvious, averaging 16.6 points per game, which is the second highest score of the Rockets team this season.

Paul held the ball for half court, threw the ball to Harden, and then ran to the bottom corner for a three-pointer without moving.

The relationship between Harden and Paul still seems tense. The two of them called very rarely this season, and most of them were Harden alone, taking care of everything.

Fans can't see the gap between Harden and Paul. So far, there are still many Rockets players who support the Rockets without thinking.

Ge Feng immediately noticed that there was no call between Harden and Paul.

Even if Harden had no chance, he probably wouldn't pass the ball to Paul in the corner.

Harden signaled for tactical cooperation, Anthony pulled out a pick-and-roll, after Harden broke through, Ge Feng made up in front of Harden in time.

Ge Feng's pick-and-roll can be said to be very fast.

Because Harden had just broken through Lowry, Ge Feng had already appeared in front of him.

Harden didn't have a shot, he was looking for a teammate.

In the end, Harden returned the ball to Anthony who mentioned the top of the arc to support him.

Harden's style of play this round made Ge Feng even more convinced.

Harden and Paul just don't call. Paul averaged 14 points per game this year, not because Paul is old, but because he doesn't have Harden's trust on the court.

Since there is a gap between the two cores of the team, Ge Feng can take good care of Harden next.

Anthony singles Lowry, the height advantage is very obvious.

Anthony's textbook post-up singles steadily hit the first goal for the Rockets.

Even without power to the lightbulb combination, the Rockets have plenty of points from which to attack.

The Raptors hit the bottom line, and Van Fleet pushed the ball forward.

Ge Feng hinted at the elevator door tactic, which was used a lot by the Raptors last season.Especially after DeRozan left, the four players of the Raptors have very good three-point capabilities. Under the leadership of Leonard and Ge Feng, the elevator door tactics have gradually become the Raptors' best tactics.

Van Vleet broke through and attracted inside double-teaming.

At the same time, the Raptors teammates began to pretend to block and run, and at the same time ran out of opportunities in the bottom corners on both sides.

Van Vleet jumped up to look for it, and then crossed the ball to Ge Feng in the right corner.

Anthony jumped to his feet.

But Ge Feng had already made a move.

"Shh."

Turning around, the Raptors immediately returned a three-pointer.

Fans at the Toyota Center chanted, "Defend! Defend!"

Rockets coach D'Antoni ran to the sidelines and asked to strengthen the defense against the Raptors.

Harden attacked for the second time, signaling his teammates to pull away, and then asked Capela to propose a pick-and-roll.

This is a very obvious signal to attack by yourself.

Capela is strong and strong, and the pick-and-roll quality is particularly high.

Harden put Capela up for the pick-and-roll, but he didn't even think about rebounding.

Capela obviously plays this game with Harden a lot, and his pick-and-roll quality is very high.

Harden's breakthrough, Ibaka came out to defend.

Ibaka's defense is very good, and he immediately blocked Harden's further possibility.

"beep."

However, Ibaka's defense at the basket was directly called a defensive foul by the referee.

After Ibaka heard the whistle, he immediately became anxious, turned to the referee, and explained to the referee.

"What are you bragging about? I didn't even start!"

The referee was unmoved.

Ge Feng came over and pulled Ibaka away from the referee.

In basketball, there is a very professional term for the referee's whistle-blowing standard, which is called a cylinder.

Most fans only know that when a player is attacking, there is something called a "shooting cylinder". Once it is hit by a defensive player, it is a defensive foul.

But in fact, NBA referees and whistle-blowing standards do not follow this method.

Every player on the field, in the eyes of the referee, has his own cylinder.

The volume of each player's cylinder is determined by the player's palms in the front, buttocks in the back, and the width of the arms and feet on the sides.

The three points together form an imaginary cylindrical space.

The referee's whistleblowing standard has never been that only physical contact will be whistled for a foul by the referee.

As long as the defensive player and the offensive player's imaginary cylinder are actively invaded by the defensive team, all of them are fouls for violating the cylinder.

According to the rules, when a defensive player leaves his cylinder and makes contact with a player who has already established a cylinder, then the defensive player will be whistled for a defensive foul.

Just now Harden broke through to the basket and made an emergency stop.

Although Ibaka's block was not successful, Ibaka has left his defensive cylinder space when he left the normal defense.

Even if Ibaka didn't touch Harden, he still violated Harden's cylinder, so he would be called a foul by the referee.

Harden is a very thorough player who has studied the referee whistle rules.

Harden can always find a way to allow opponents to violate his cylinder.

And this method, few players are willing to spend a lot of time to study.

Harden walked to the free throw line and triumphantly made two free throws.

That's right, the last time the Raptors lost to the Rockets, Harden made a free throw, a free throw, and was tricked into an emotional breakdown.

After the free throw, Van Vleet protected the ball for halftime.

Ge Feng came out to catch the ball, and now he also wants to try Harden's method of fouling.

Ge Feng asked Ibaka to come out for a pick-and-roll, and Ibaka immediately pulled it out from the inside.

Playing exactly the same way as Harden, Ge Feng used Ibaka to get rid of Anthony and went straight to the inside.

The Rockets' center Capela is naturally the one who complements Ge Feng.

Ge Feng is in the 3rd position, and he is easier to get close to the basket than Harden in the 2nd position.

After all, it was the first attempt, and Ge Feng felt that it was necessary to make the play more realistic.

After hitting the inside shot, Ge Feng paused, waiting for Capela to jump first.

When Capela fell into the trap and jumped up to block the shot, Ge Feng fell back.

"Shh."

"beep."

The sound of the goal and the referee's whistle sounded almost at the same time.

The fans at the Toyota Center were immediately stunned, not understanding why Capela fouled on this defense.

Ge Feng scored two points, and now there is an additional penalty.

Capela, like Ibaka, ran over to the referee to argue.

The referee is in a broken mood now.

Violating the cylinder and blowing the whistle is the professional quality of NBA professional referees.

As the whistle just now, since the referees have practiced [-] times, they just blow it out of their minds.

Although this kind of ball is not directly hit, it is indeed a foul against the cylinder...

Referees have privately trained on-the-spot reactions for decades, and it is difficult to make mistakes.
