Chapter 14 Opener! vs Houston Rockets (1)

Beep----

With the whistle of the referee, wait for the jump ball.

Zheng Long's counterpoint is Eric Gordon, and the two are stuck on the center line, close together.

In the past four years, Gordon has spent with the Pelicans, and was once the team's scoring leader.

Injuries came to him in the 14-15 season, except for the reimbursement that season.

He also made just 45 appearances last season.

Of course, Gordon, who has proven himself, passed the health examination.

He joined the Rockets smoothly during the offseason.

Signed a four-year, $4 million contract.

Gordon, who has excellent scoring ability, not only relies on offense to make a living, but his tenacious defense is also his label.

such as.

Before jumping the ball, he had already squeezed Zheng Long with all his energy.

As a result, Zheng Long remained motionless.

Zheng Long still looked at him calmly.

This frustrates Gordon a little.

I haven't played much in two years, are young people so energetic now?

The basketball was thrown into the air by the referee!

With 2 meters 16 Lakers center Mozgov struggling to take off.

But he can only look at Capela, who is 8cm shorter than himself, and use his terrifying 2m wingspan and explosive jumping ability!
The first to touch the basketball and pick the basketball to his backcourt!

Harden successfully put the basketball in his arms, and the Lakers quickly retreated to the backcourt to defend.

Just a jump ball success.

It caused a burst of cheers from the Rockets fans on the court!
"The King of Cards is awesome!"

It was enough to see how excited they were tonight.

Under Harden's organization, Anderson and Gordon were placed on the side.

As a space-type power forward, Ariza has squatted to the bottom corner.

Capela squeezed to the side of the penalty area.

Harden lowered his center of gravity unhurriedly, dribbled the ball under his crotch, changed hands, and adjusted his rhythm.

Bubble eyes and a big beard can perfectly describe his appearance.

Before growing a beard, there was even only the characteristic of fish bubble eyes.

Some people say it's innate, others say it's because he went to too many nightclubs and stayed up too late.

But there is no doubt that his image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If it weren't for Curry's scoring performance last season.

Averaged 29 points per game, enough to make Harden the scoring leader.

Harden is the strongest offensive player in the league.

His matchup is D'Angelo Russell.

Russell was last season's defensive advanced statistics last season.

Russell was already nervous.

Against Harden, even more nervous!
In the face of Harden's dizzying dribbling movements and sudden rhythm changes, Russell is like a toy, and quickly appears out of position.

Harden's signature step-back three.

Swish!
Basketball into the net!

Rockets 3:0 Lakers!

"Three-pointer from Harden! The Rockets easily took the lead at the beginning."

Walton on the sidelines sighed with a wry smile, but D'Antoni next to him was relieved, smiling and talking to Walton.

"You're not going to let Russell defend Harden alone today, are you?"

Walton ignored D'Antoni, turned his head and yelled at Russell who had received a serve from his teammate on the court.

"Go up and fight him! You let him rush! Don't let him shoot three-pointers!"

As the second scoring leader last season, head coaches across the league are studying Harden's offense.

This kind of star with superstar-level offensive ability.

Rely on the usual defensive players.

You can only limit him forever, but you can't lock him up.

Ways to limit Harden.

Just let it go and don't let it go!
The shot is 3 points, and the burst is 2 points, and there are teammates in the line who can make up for the defense!

Russell brought the ball to the frontcourt, and he was eager to find an opportunity when he was shot by Harden.

His ball handling is still qualified, and Harden's current defense has not yet evolved to the point where it can be compared with his offense, guarding Russell cautiously.

The Lakers players ran quickly.

It's different from the four Rockets watching Harden play alone.

Under the guidance of Wharton.

The Lakers' offense emphasizes fast, pass, and shoot!
Use the advantage of speed and the fast transmission of the basketball to send the basketball to the players who run out of space!
Then, vote!

Gordon clung to Zheng Long, although it was the first time in his career that he saw this kid on the court.

But those highlights seen before the game are real.

The speed of this kid's off-ball movement.

Incredibly fast!

However, Gordon overlooked one thing.

Some are fast, you can keep up, some are fast, you can't keep up!
When Zheng Long started running.

Gordon realized he could barely keep up with the man's taillights.

The moment the basketball fell into Randall's hands.

Zheng Long circled behind him

"ball!"

Zheng Long received a hand-off from Randall.

Take off without hesitation!
Before Gordon rushed to take off, Zheng Long had already sent the basketball out!

At the same time, Gordon also discovered the height of Zheng Long's take-off.

It's outrageous!
I'm afraid even if I and Zheng Long take off at the same time.

You may not be able to hit the basketball halfway!

"A mid-range and long-range jumper from Zheng Long!"

"Hollow into the net!"

"Zheng Long's first NBA score was born!"

"It's also the first time the Lakers have scored this season!"

Rockets 3:2 Lakers!

【Witness to history!Witness history!Witness history! 】

[It's so easy!Zheng Long looks a little comfortable at this distance! 】

[Clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements! 】

[Go Lakers! ! ! 】

With the end of the first round of the contest between the two sides.

The players are also gradually entering the state of the game.

"Mr. Yang, the fluency of the Lakers' offense is much better than last season!"

"Xiao Wang, I suggest you watch the game and talk, Russell's singles is lost again!"

"what?"

On the court, Russell dribbled the ball past half court.

Finding Harden in the matchup, after a few rounds, he only defended with his eyes!
Couldn't bear it anymore, and started trying to dribble past people!
As a result, just after Harden, Anderson, who was defended, sent a big cap head-on!
And Harden is also like a rabbit, rushing past Russell to pull up the basketball.

There is no one in front of me!
Easy dunks to score!

Light up the arena!

"Russell, it's too easy to get on top!"

"Is that goal so easy to score?"

"You gave the ball to Zheng Long!"

At this time, the first quarter of the game was just over halfway.

Rockets 17:11 Lakers!

Zheng Long touched the ball twice, both of which were direct shots.

He made two shots and scored 4 points.

The remaining four Lakers started and scored 7 points together.

I can't watch the barrage anymore.

[It's started, the Lakers are fighting again! 】

[Damn Zheng Long can't touch the ball, what's going on! 】

[They all want to prove themselves, so they throw the ball in! 】

Beep----

On the field, Walton finally frowned and called a timeout.

Zheng Long passed his teammates blankly.

Find a seat and sit down.

Ingram also patted Zheng Long excitedly.

"Dragon! Two hits in two shots! Good performance."

Zheng Long didn't speak, but just looked at Russell and Randall.

these two guys.

Take up 80.00% of the shots in the first half!

Work together to score 3 points!
Male Gobi!

"Everyone come here!!!"

Wharton stood beside Zheng Long with an angry face, holding a freshly printed technical report in his hand.
