Chapter 172 Team Rocket Attacks Strongly

On October 2018, 10, the Los Angeles Clippers continued to sit in the Staples Center Arena and played against the imposing Houston Rockets at home.

Just yesterday, the bearded Harden led the Rockets to defeat another team in Los Angeles-the Purple and Gold Army led by LeBron James.

Today the Rockets will continue to challenge the Los Angeles Clippers back-to-back away at the Staples Center Arena!
The biggest highlight of this game is rookie guard Li Yang VS first shooting guard James Harden! !

The peak duel between Li Yang and Harden even attracted more attention than the game between the Five-Star Warriors and the Denver Nuggets.

This game can definitely be called today's battle of focus, and such a battle of focus will definitely attract much attention and be exciting.

According to Zhang Manyuan, the frontline beauty reporter in the NBA, the domestic attention of this game between the Clippers and the Rockets will definitely not be much lower than that of the Golden State Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets.

Players from both sides began to enter the field from the player tunnel.

When Harden was introduced, there was a deafening cheer that was not weaker than Li Yang's. It can be seen that Beard's MVP-level performance last season has conquered most of the local fans in Los Angeles.

Li Yang looked up at the 16 championship banners belonging to the Lakers fluttering above the Staples Center Arena, with mixed emotions in his eyes, both envious and depressed, always feeling like a child of someone else's family.

The game received a lot of attention, and both Tencent Sports and TNT TV broadcasted the game live.

Many Hollywood stars and popular fried chicken sat in the front row of the auditorium and the VIP seats.

Since Li Yang and Harden started warming up, the broadcast cameras have been focusing on them.

After warming up, Harden took the initiative to come over to hug Li Yang.

"Yang, we finally met. I watched your game against the Thunder. You played very well. That three-point shot was beautiful!!"

"However, I will not show mercy tonight, I will defend you with all my strength!!"

"If you can pass my ultimate test, I will invite you to join me and Chris to form the Big Three "foreign light bulb" combination. Are you very interested? Maybe we can build a new dynasty."

After Harden finished speaking, he turned his head arrogantly and returned to the Rockets' bench without giving Li Yang a chance to answer.

Li Yang looked at Harden who was pretending to be like the wind, turned his head and left, suddenly felt a thousand horses rushing by in his heart, and was speechless for a long time: "This is just pretending to be forced. I left, and I haven't refused yet. This is too perfunctory!!"

After the head coaches of both sides arranged the final tactics, the starting five Tigers of the Rockets and Clippers walked to the center of the court.

Harden's eyes widened, staring at the prey in front of him like a cheetah.

Sure enough, there is no one worthy of fame, and Li Yang gave Li Yang a very powerful aura, which came from the intuition among the masters.

"In this game, Harden will definitely let Li Yang know the gap between the league's top shooting guard and rookie guard!"

"Li Yang has been targeted by these superstars since he just entered the league. If he is tortured by blood, it will leave a shadow in his heart, which will be detrimental to his growth."

In the audience, the famous Rockets glider Drexler, who came to watch the game, had a smirk on his lips, and he liked to watch Harden teach newcomers.

"Hello, viewers, everyone. Welcome to watch the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Houston Rockets game broadcast by Tencent Sports on time."

"I am Yang Yi, the commentator for this game. Before the game starts, let us take a look at today's starting match list on the big screen."

The commentator Yang Yi skillfully started his commentary today.

The Rockets' starting five: center Clint Capela, power forward James Ennis, small forward PJ Tucker, shooting guard James Harden, and point guard Eric Gordon.

The Clippers still have a familiar starting lineup: center Polish Hammer Gortat, power forward Gallinari, small forward Harris, shooting guard Li Yang, and point guard Beverly.

……

"Dudu!"

The referee threw the basketball into the air.

The jump ball between Cake King Capela and Gortat.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Capela kicked his feet and jumped up like a spring. He used his excellent bullet speed and jumping force to overwhelm Gortat, and won the first wave of offensive possession for the Rockets.

In this game, Harden did not dribble forward at the beginning of the game as before.

After Capela succeeded in jumping the ball, the ball was transferred to the hands of the round face.

Facing the deafening boos of the Los Angeles Clippers home fans, the round face did not change his face and pushed the ball to half court.

Yuanlian Deng didn't stay too much outside the three-point line, stepped on the Hot Wheels, and went straight into the penalty area.

Harris quickly moved across to block Yuanlian Deng's advance. Yuanlian Deng's speed did not decrease. He immediately took a European step, dodged and moved, bypassed Harris, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead in the away game.

Clippers offense.

Beverley slowly advanced through the half court from the backcourt.

According to Rivers' tactical arrangement before the game, Beverly, who advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, his first choice was to hand the ball to Li Yang's organization.

In this game, one of Rivers' tactical strategies is to give the ball to Li Yang as much as possible, and use Li Yang's organization to find opportunities or assist his teammates to score.

If there is no chance to pass the ball to Li Yang, then Beverly will hand over to Harris to play singles under the basket.

In the first few games, Li Yang ran without the ball without encountering the defensive pressure of strong defenders, and he was basically able to get rid of them easily. Now facing the pursuit and defense of last season's mvp, he couldn't get rid of it for a while.

When Harden doesn't use his eyes to defend, his defensive ability is still very good! !

After the opening game, Harden, who was going to completely lock up Li Yang on the defensive end, soon realized that something was wrong! !

Li Yang's off-ball running is very rhythmic, quickly shuttling between players on the field.

Before the game started, Li Yang tried his best to throw Harden away in one go, because as long as he can get rid of a body, he can complete the attack.

Li Yang took advantage of Gortat's pick-and-roll delay to temporarily get rid of Harden's defense.

Beverly understood, and quickly passed it to Li Yang.

The ball was passed in front of Li Yang, but he didn't stick to it. He stretched out his hand and pushed hard, changing the flight path of the ball again, and flew straight to the anti-aircraft gun Gallinari who had been ambushing in the bottom corner for a long time.

After receiving the ball, Gallinari did not hesitate to pull up and shoot. This is the most accurate position among several points outside his three-point line.

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

"Shhh!!"

There was a crisp net swiping sound immediately!
The score became 2:3.

Li Yang didn't forget to tease Harden when he retreated.

"James, this is your so-called pressing defense?? It's so much better than eye defense!!"

"It seems that you still haven't learned the real secret of pressing defense from Kohler!!!" Li Yang ran away before Harden could react.

Harden clenches his fists so hard his knuckles turn white.

He looked at Li Yang who had oiled his feet with a livid face, and said viciously: "Rookie, you have completely angered me!!"

"Is it really okay for Li Yang to provoke the bearded man like this at the beginning? I think his actions seem a little irrational!"

"Maybe he has some special plans!!"

In the live broadcast room of Tencent Sports, Teacher Su Qun and Yang Yi expressed their views on Li Yang's teasing of Harden on the court.

Of course Harden is very upset now, he really wants to catch Li Yang and beat him up, who told him to be so naughty!

Looking at Harden who was enraged by Li Yang on the court, Kenny Smith, the commentator on the sidelines, could not help but mourn for Li Yang's death.

How dare a rookie who just entered the league challenge the MVP of last season's regular season?

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
Li Yang angered Harden, not for anything else, but for one purpose.

I just want to make Harden angry and lose his clear mind, let him play infinite singles and connect teams without passing the ball. This is the so-called "Jordan Law".

This is a key part of whether the Clippers can successfully win the game!
Round-faced Deng dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Harden was competing with Li Yang for running without the ball.

The more Harden ran, the more he felt wrong, because no matter how he ran, he couldn't get rid of Li Yang's defense!
And there is no running without the ball in Harden's game style. He basically shoots three-pointers with the ball, and every ball is an extreme operation!
When he came back to his senses, Harden directly caught the ball with his back behind the three-point line and played Li Yang one-on-one.

Catch the ball, turn around, bow your head, raise your hand in a big circle, and make a foul shot. This is the standard shooting posture of Pengcideng.

"Fuck, is this going to touch porcelain, let me flash."

Li Yang leaned back as far as he could, and narrowly avoided the opponent's Porcelain Touching skill at the critical moment.

"Bang" sound!
Harden is furious!
Harden didn't succeed in touching porcelain? !
Is Li Yang's vigilance so strong? !

Gortat grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Beverly.

In the transition between offense and defense, Li Yang got rid of Harden's chasing and defending this time. After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, he dribbled a step in place, and directly stepped back to make a jump shot. It had the charm of Harden's stepping back and shot, just as picturesque.

"Shhh!!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

The score became 2:5.

The Rockets attacked, and Harden responded stubbornly!

"Bang" sound!
Two Yang Hua Er Tie!
Looking back, Li Yang caught the ball and threw it to Gortat, who was in a better position inside.

The score became 2:7.

The opening trend was a bit wrong, and D'Antoni quickly called a timeout.

In the audience, the Clippers fans who thought this game would be difficult can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Harden is not without weaknesses, and now it seems that the tough bone of the Rockets is not as difficult to chew as imagined!

On the way back to the bench, Li Yang had a rough judgment on Harden's state in this game.
