Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 367 The Incomplete Beard
Before the start of the game, the Rocket Bear rushed into the field to tease and ran to the Lakers. Towns aimed at his big butt, kicked him up, and kicked that guy on the spot.

The Rockets home fans laughed. Compared with the home games of the Jazz and Thunder, the Rockets fans are more easy-going.

Houston locals have a good opinion of the two new stars Towns and Yuan Qingshan.

Wharton called the players together to arrange tactics, and the Rocket Bear sneaked over and pretended to eavesdrop.

Yuan Qingshan thumped his big head: "Brother, are you sure you can hear clearly?"

"Of course I can hear it!" A lively female voice actually came from the gray bear's head.

Yuan Qingshan immediately glared at Tang Si: Look at what you did, she is a girl.

Downs scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, Miss."

Rocket Bear held her face in her hands and shook it. After entering this industry, she has long been used to being beaten. Of course, she didn't know the real beating. She felt that this kind of interaction with fans was pretty good.

The referee waved, and Whiteside and Capela gathered in the center circle.

Yuan Qingshan looked towards the Rockets' backcourt, hey, where is Harden?

A slightly chubby figure hid behind Ariza, but it was a circle bigger than Ariza, and he seemed to be avoiding the camera with a squirm.

"James Harden!" Yuan Qingshan shouted.

The figure behind Ariza subconsciously agreed, "Huh?"

Then revealed the incomplete beard.

The photographer quickly seized the opportunity to snap a quick shot. Two seconds later, there was laughter from the Toyota Center.

Harden pretended to be calm: "Don't laugh, just play well."

Whiteside slipped, and Capela passed the ball to Harden.

In the double-deck combination, Harden serves as the point guard and Gordon plays the second position.

In the past, Beverly could help Harden share the burden of connecting the team, but now the trash dog has been taken away by the Lakers. Apart from Harden, the Rockets have no one who is good at organizing offense.

D'Antoni's system pays great attention to creating opportunities. It needs someone with a strong overall view, quick response, and good passing, so as to start a whirlwind of quick play. At present, no one is available on the team. Harden can only focus on organization and offense.

D'Antoni has long made a request to Murray that he must trade for a reliable No. [-] position in the middle of the season and liberate Harden from the organization. Unfortunately, there has been no suitable candidate.

The league is now rich in pure offensive point guards, and traditional point guards that focus on organization are scarce. There is no one in the All-Star point guards except Paul. Conley is barely number one, but he has just been sent away by the Grizzlies.

As for Paul, the Clippers have no intention of letting him go at least in the middle of the season, and if he wants to take him as a star, he may have to bleed heavily.

Harden pushed forward with the ball, and Yuan Qingshan went up. The Lakers wanted to win this game, so they didn't send Murray to block the hole.

This is the first time Yuan Qingshan has faced Harden like this. Last year he faced Beverly.

Harden dribbled the ball, his expression serious, waiting for an opportunity.

But Yuan Qingshan couldn't help being amused by his beard.

Harden is angry, the beard is his face, you laugh at my face now, can I spare you?
Yuan Qingshan keeps changing his focus to prevent Harden from making a European breakthrough. This is the best defensive method he can choose at present. If Harden breaks in, there is a high probability of killing a foul on the inside.

Harden suddenly took a step back, leaned back slightly, raised his arms and shot the ball out, the trajectory was very positive, and the goal was clean.

Yuan Qingshan was shot by Yan Ye, and the "outside barrier" skill was useless. It is estimated that Harden, as the super giant's skill orange base.

Wharton is considering whether to send Barnes to limit Harden. Yuan Qingshan's figure is obviously at a disadvantage. If Yuan Qingshan's wingspan can be 5 cm longer, he still hopes to block the ball.

Lakers bout.

Towns directly handed the ball to Yuan Qingshan, Harden forced over, covering Yuan Qingshan's advancing route, Yuan Qingshan did not confront him head-on, and passed the ball to Murray who was waiting too much on the center line.

Murray made a change of direction after receiving the ball, trying to pass Gordon, but Gordon's center of gravity was very stable, and he didn't eat his shaking at all, so Murray had to stop the ball.

This is very fatal, Ariza waits for an opportunity to double-team, Murray wants to pass the ball to Barnes, but Barnes has no consciousness to come over to respond, and the situation on the field froze.

Yuan Qingshan had no choice but to rush to Murray's right front and wave. Harden didn't bother to follow, whistled, and handed over the defensive task to Gordon, while he himself walked slowly towards Murray.

The three surrounded Murray, and Murray panicked even more. He protected the ball in his abdomen and looked left and right.

"Here!" Yuan Qingshan yelled, and before Gordon blocked him, he got a little closer. The position was well calculated, and Murray had an angle for the ball.

With a flick of Murray's wrist, the basketball passed between Harden and Ariza. Ariza leaned forward to catch it and caught an empty one.

Yuan Qingshan ran to the basket with both feet by mistake after receiving the ball, Capela was stuck by Whiteside, and another insider Anderson was wrestling with Downs in a high position.

The Rockets' basket is like a sea of ​​stars.

Yuan Qingshan even had time to think about how to shoot the ball. In the end, he chose to split the dunk with one hand, and jumped into the penalty area.

As a result, due to too long thinking time and dissatisfaction with exerting force, split buckle became free buckle.

"puff!"

In the commentary booth, the Rockets star Olajuwon sprayed, and the NBA dunk-free team has another titan after Curry and Thompson.

The Lakers bench laughed together, and Murray hurried over to comfort Yuan Qingshan: "Don't worry too much, senior, this is not your true level."

"Hehe." Yuan Qingshan laughed dryly.

The Lakers and the Rockets are two strong teams in the West, and it is foreseeable that they will be strong competitors in the playoffs, but the game seems very easy, and there is no feeling of tension.

This may have something to do with the personality of the leading star. Harden is more easy-going, and Yuan Qingshan is not the kind of aggressive person, so although the score is rising alternately, the atmosphere has always been good.

Of course, except for Harden's beard, as long as you don't deliberately stare at his beard, he is not very aggressive.

The two sides tied in the first quarter, and the Lakers blossomed at three points. Yuan Qingshan and Downs both scored double digits, and Murray also scored 8 points unknowingly.

The Rockets were Harden's best. Among the team's 31 points, Harden scored 20 points alone, and the rest was contributed by Gordon. He adapted to Murray's defense in the second half, and broke into the inside and made two small throws.

In the second quarter, Wharton replaced Murray and Brogdon came on the field, so Yuan Qingshan mentioned the second position, which was controlled by Brogdon.

This is also a new tactic that Wharton came up with. Brogdon is more stable and suitable for pressing the rhythm. With him, Yuan Qingshan can be freed to score exclusively.

D'Antoni didn't dare to let Harden rest. In addition to the double boards, they only have Dellavedova and Bobby Brown in the backcourt. These people can play against ordinary teams. How about the Lakers?Only targeted copies.

Seeing Harden sweating profusely, the Rockets fans at the Toyota Center were heartbroken. Many people called on the Rockets CLUTCHFANS forum to quickly trade for a superstar. Are you still playing single-core in this situation?It will only play Harden badly.
