If Eric Gordon was a normal state, he would have replaced Chris Paul, then everyone might have less doubts.

But the problem is that Eric Gordon's condition in this game tonight has never been normal from beginning to end and has been in a sluggish state.

So is D'Antoni was stunned? At such a critical moment, isn't he trying to lose?

Some unknown home fans looked at D'Antoni with a very hated expression.

But from the beginning to the end, D'Antoni's expression didn't seem to change much.

In the last moment, the remaining time of the game was 25 seconds, and the Dallas Mavericks led by 2 points, and the ball rights belonged to the Houston Rockets.

Judging from the situation, although the situation is serious for the Houston Rockets, they are definitely not without a chance. If they can use this last attack to complete a winning goal in Shenzhen, it will obviously be another village.

So, it is indeed time to test the Houston Rockets' offense, and it is also time to test the Dallas Mavericks' defense.

Neither side paused, that is to say, no matter what, in the last 25 seconds, all the winners and losses will be quickly determined.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks took a close defense in the whole game.

Since James Harden received the ball from the backcourt, he was defended by at least two players from the Dallas Mavericks, which even caused him to concede the ball for a while.

Outside the post Eric Gordon ran to cover the situation in time and escorted all the way, which made James Harden difficult to reach the frontcourt.

Even so, 24 seconds of attack time have been quickly spent 6 seconds.

In other words, when James Harden came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a simple adjustment, he had only one second left to dominate the offensive time.

A theory-based approach is sufficient but practical operation is very rare.

Facing James Harden's possession of the ball, the Dallas Mavericks attached 100% importance to it, Jiang Hao personally stepped forward to defend, and Trevor Ariza on the side also made assisting defense.

It can be said that James Harden's power on the offensive end is undoubtedly revealed by the joint defense of two new and old top defensive players in the league.

For Jiang Hao and the others, defending James Harden is definitely not an easy job, because in addition to the sufficient arsenal of James Harden, the one thing he fears the most is his ability to create fouls.

Jiang Hao knew very well that James Harden must not be allowed to successfully hit the ball at this time, otherwise with James Harden's free throw shooting percentage, they may be the ones who lost tonight.

Therefore, whether it is Jiang Hao or Trevor Ariza, when double-teaming, blocking James Harden, he tried his best not to take action, but instead used his height advantage to block James Harden's vision and made him lose his shooting angle.

At this time, he was also very nervous about James Harden. The bayonet was afraid of his ability to commit fouls, and he was afraid of the bayonet's blocking.

15 seconds!

12 seconds!

Pulling from the left side of the arc to the right side, and from the right side to the left side of the arc. With the help of his teammates' cover, James Harden ran back and forth along the three-point line.

But he could never get rid of the bayonet. The bayonet was like a piece of candy, sticking to him all the time, which drove him crazy.

Second!

5 years!

There is not much time left for James Harden.

The attack time is getting less and less, and the entire Toyota Center is like stopping breathing at this time, and everyone is watching the movements in James Harden's hands.

3 seconds!

2 seconds!

James Harden took action, at the top of the arc, facing the double-team of several Dallas Mavericks players, he still resolutely chose to take action.

but.

Hun!

God did not stand on James Harden's side. His extremely long-distance three-pointer hit the box and the rebound was captured by DeAndrew Jordan.

beep.

The game officially ended as DeAndrew Jordan threw the ball hard towards the frontcourt.

It was as if he was slapped hard, James Harden's face turned into pig liver, the expressions of the fans at the scene were mute, and the entire Toyota Center was instantly shrouded in depression and disappointment.

Only the Dallas Mavericks' bench area looks joyous.

James Harden turned around and left. Under his leadership, even all the Houston Rockets players did not say hello to the Dallas Mavericks, and everyone quickly returned to the locker room.

Judging from the process, this strong showdown should be very exciting, but to be honest, the Houston Rockets exposed too many problems in this game. They should have had a chance to win the game, but for some reason, it was strange that they lost the game inexplicably.

Among them, Rockets head coach D'Antoni's last-minute arrangement aroused many people's doubts and discussions at the first moment after the game.

"D'Antoni was either mediocre or traitor"

The angry Houston Rockets fans directly labeled D'Antoni such a label.

"Behind the loss, the two core members of the Houston Rockets, James Harden and Chris Paul had a fierce verbal conflict in the locker room!"

For D'Antoni, the news was a little lucky that not long after the game, a local media in Houston exposed what happened in the Rockets' locker room after the game.

James Harden and Chris Paul clash?

Rockets fans were confused and didn't expect that this would happen.

If it is true, it would not be surprising that D'Antoni dispatched troops in the last moment, and it would not be surprising that the Houston Rockets even lost this game.

Because for the powerful Dallas Mavericks, it is not too difficult to defeat a beautiful and uneven team away, even the Mavericks made many mistakes in this game.

"In fact, James Harden and Chris Paul had a gap at the beginning of the season. They were no longer the intimate and trusted light bulb combination last season."

"Chris Paul is very dissatisfied with James Harden's obsession with singles and his attitude on the defensive end."

"On the other hand, James Harden feels that Chris Paul is older and cannot stand up to share the pressure at critical moments and is often injured."

"So, the two of them were secretly competing. In fact, in this game with the Dallas Mavericks, if the two can join hands with each other, they will most likely win this game. After all, in this game, the Dallas Mavericks have not performed well except for the bayonet as stable as ever."
