Start without the ball

Chapter 190 Give me a seat?

Although Harden hit a three-pointer, Li Haoyu's fast-break stop loss narrowed the result of the three-pointer. Harden was a little displeased, and came to Gordon and said:

"Bro, you must focus on him with all your attention."

Gordon: "Brother, he played while we were still attacking."

(o__), Gordon is very helpless, should he concentrate on marking Li Haoyu when attacking?
Harden thought for a moment and said:
"Emmm, I mean, be a little more careful, don't let him get off too quickly."

Gordon nodded. At this time, Tucker sent the ball to Paul in the backcourt of the Rockets, and the Rockets attacked.

Paul handed the ball to Harden at 45 degrees on the left, and then took Westbrook to the bottom corner on the right to open up space.

Facing George's defense, Harden rushed to the right, George adjusted his footsteps and followed him, Harden stepped back again to gain shooting space, and made a mid-range shot.

George had been prepared for a long time, adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward, but Harden withdrew too far, and George failed to interfere in time.

"Shu~"

The basketball hit the basket accurately, and Harden scored another 2 points.

TNT commentary seats.

Pierce: "Is there no cure for Harden's step back?"

Barkley: "Three steps in the reverse direction are too far away. The defense has to react from a full retreat to a full forward attack. During this period, it is enough for Harden to complete the shot, unless Lee is nearby."

Pierce: "The Rockets made sufficient preparations for this game. Harden feared that Lee would stand in his retreat position and make him foul in advance, so Gordon led him away from the beginning."

In the next period of time, the Rockets relied on Harden's personal offense to score one after another, and the Thunder Trident could also respond.

With 5 minutes and 23 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides fought 16 to 16. Donovan replaced Li Haoyu with Ferguson to prepare for the transition period.

For the Rockets, D'Antoni was worried that Li Haoyu, who was physically fit, would cause trouble in the transition, so he replaced Gordon with Green, and Harden returned to the 2nd position.

The Rockets attacked, Paul gave the ball to Harden at the top of the arc, and the heavy responsibility of defending Harden fell to Ferguson.

Facing Ferguson's defense, Harden accelerated to the right after continuous dribbles under the crotch.

Ferguson reacted quickly and immediately shifted his center of gravity to the right. Observing the defensive change, Harden changed his direction and dribbled the ball to his left hand.

Ferguson reacted in time, adjusted his focus and followed Harden.

Seeing this scene, Li Haoyu off the court couldn't help but lament Ferguson's growth. At the beginning of the season, Harden's change of direction had completely thrown off Ferguson, and now Ferguson not only has not been thrown off, but the defensive effect is quite good.

Harden continued to rush to the basket, but when he rushed to the basket, he was bound to be interfered by Ferguson's long arm. Harden stretched out his sinful right hand, but he caught nothing.

Ferguson has played against Harden twice. He knows very well that Harden, who broke through from the left, has a strong foul-making ability. He does not have his hands behind his back, which affects the balance too much. Ferguson chose to raise his hands and follow up with solid defensive steps. Harden.

Unable to succeed, Harden rushed to the basket, knowing that Ferguson's long arm would inevitably cause interference, Harden passed the ball to Green in the bottom corner.

With little time left, Green made a shot against the defense.

"boom!"

After hitting the iron, Westbrook rushed to the basket, jumped high, and got the rebound "toughly".

George gave Ferguson a thumbs up, encouraging him for his defensive performance just now.

The Thunder attacked, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Adams stepped forward to pick and roll, the moment Paul was blocked, the Turtles turned on the nitrogen and accelerated to the basket, Capela was still unable to match the speed of the Turtles in the left corner Green quickly shrunk to the basket.

Westbrook distributes the ball to Ferguson, who is unguarded in the left corner.

After receiving the ball, Ferguson was very excited. He blocked Harden's attack just after he came on the court. It would be even more perfect if the ball could be made.

With plenty of time, Ferguson kicked off the ground after seeing the basket, and made a shot.

The basketball spins backwards towards the hoop.

After the shot, Ferguson raised his shooting right hand and stared at the flying basketball.

"Shu~"

The basketball passed under the hoop and made a crisp sound as it rubbed against the net.

Ferguson's shot was too weak this time, and he couldn't even touch the basket.

Embarrassed, Ferguson quickly took back his raised right hand and ran to the backcourt with his head down.

Felton laughed out loud and said to Li Haoyu:

"When you hit the iron today, Ferguson said that it was his turn to play today. He practiced hard on his shooting, and he really improved. At least there is no sound of iron hitting."

In the next game, Harden no longer attacked by himself, and took on the important task of organizing. On the Thunder side, Westbrook and George took turns to attack, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

With 2 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, the two sides battled to 22 to 23. The Thunder led by 1 point, and Donovan requested a timeout.

Donovan pulled Li Haoyu to his side and said, "I believe in your scoring ability in the transitional period. Go up and try to widen the point difference in a while."

The timeout ended quickly, and the two sides replaced the rotation.

Rockets: Center Faried, power forward House, small forward Harden, shooting guard Gordon, point guard Rivers.

Thunder: center Noelle, power forward Morris, small forward Ferguson, shooting guard Li Haoyu, point guard Schroeder.

D'Antoni was really ruthless, worried that Gordon would not be able to withstand Li Haoyu's offensive pressure, so he would keep Harden on the court.

The Thunder attacked, Li Haoyu took the basketball at 45 degrees on the left side, and directed Morris to a low position.

Morris has an 8cm height advantage over House, and his weight is 12KG ahead. After holding the ball firmly, Morris easily rolled into the inside and dunked successfully.

22:25.

House said to Gordon: "Bro, clip it for me."

Gordon: "Are you crazy? I'm defending against Lee. If we let him go to flank, we will be shot to death."

House said with a serious face: "Do you think he made a shot after a series of strikes at the beginning of the game today? He felt very bad today."

Gordon thought it was true. Li Haoyu didn't dare to make a move after striking the iron, and if he didn't do something, House might be blown away by Morris. After thinking it over carefully, Deng Chong House nodded with a round face. , ran to the field.

The Rockets attacked, Rivers Jr. dribbled the ball to the front court, gave the ball to Harden at 45 degrees to the left, and then sank to the bottom corner to open up space for the big brother's singles.

Harden knew that it was not good to break through the left and cause fouls. This time he chose to rush to the right. Ferguson followed closely. After compressing the defense, Harden stepped back to gain space and made a mid-range shot.

"Shu~"

Steady hit, Ferguson has nothing to do with Harden's retreat, 24 to 25.
The Thunder attacked, Schroder dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and passed the ball to Li Haoyu, who was 45 degrees on the right.

Li Haoyu is a person who likes shrimp and pig's heart. Since the 4th position has a huge advantage, he must make good use of it. He continued to direct Morris to sink to the low position and hang the ball.

As soon as Morris hit the ball, Gordon immediately double-teamed from the flank, and the Thunder moved forward and returned the ball to Li Haoyu.

mmp, how dare you let me open for three points?
