Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 478 Oh, come on!

Eric Gordon: "Huh?"

Yuan Qingshan asked coldly: "Which position do you want to play? Is it number one or number two?"

Eric Gordon replied honestly: "Second position."

Yuan Qingshan beckoned Murray over. Murray didn't know, so Yuan Qingshan said to Murray in front of Eric Gordon: "I'll play the second position, you go to defend Harden."

Murray: "..."

Eric Gordon fires up: "Yo, rookie, come on, I'm waiting!"

After returning from a timeout, the Rockets have the ball. Harden plays the No. [-] position. D’Antoni’s lineup uses Harden as a ball handler. This was not common before Beverly left.

Coach D'Antoni is a coach who is very good at using point guards. Otherwise, there would be no whirlwind of the Phoenix Suns. After D'Antoni coached the Rockets, he has been doing Harden's work and let him control the team. Harden had some opinions at the beginning. He felt that he should grab more points. Otherwise, who would the Rockets count on to attack?
Since Griffin came, Harden's scoring pressure has decreased. Under D'Antoni's continued persuasion, Harden began to gradually lean towards the No. [-] position.

However, when they met the Lakers in the second round of the playoffs, the Rockets did not dare to let Eric Gordon start directly at the beginning of the playoffs. Instead, they played the regular lineup, with Dellavedova playing point guard.

Coach D'Antoni also has another idea. He wants to use the current offensive lineup when the Lakers lineup is rotating, and beat the Lakers in waves.

The series is for both sides to go back and forth, so that they can continue to adapt and find out countermeasures. The first quarter is basically based on the individual abilities of the players. If we talk about changes, it has only just begun.

Harden controlled the ball, Murray faced Harden, and the pressure was even greater than in the first quarter. He was a little confused and didn't know whether to retreat or advance.

Yuan Qingshan was in charge of defending Eric Gordon at this time. Gordon was 191 cm long and weighed 102 kilograms. From the physical measurement data, it was almost the same.

The Rockets' double-deck combination is also known as a double-butt combination!

Yuan Qingshan directly challenged himself. As an old player who has been in the league for many years, Gordon was not convinced at all. The best rookie, the All-Star MVP, and the top ten MVPs are not as important as the best sixth man I am about to get!

"James, pass the ball!" Gordon ran quickly and shouted at Harden in the distance.

Harden knew that he was going to try to hit Yuan Qingshan, so of course he wanted to give his teammates this chance.

Harden flicked his wrist, and the basketball shot towards Gordon's position. Murray estimated in his heart that even if his speed was twice as fast, he would not be able to intercept this pass.

Yuan Qingshan didn't rush to intercept. This was his first match against Gordon, and he didn't know his style of play and habits. Besides, Harden's passing speed was really fast and the trajectory was accurate.

Maybe many people have forgotten that Gordon's template in the draft was Dwyane Wade. He was also a combo guard who could fly and escape. Later, he experienced injuries, coupled with aging, and his physical fitness declined. Even so, he can easily average 20 points per game.

Of course, on the bench.

Gordon made a cross step, he wanted to test Yuan Qingshan's defensive habits, and then wait for an opportunity to attack.

It's a pity that Yuan Qingshan didn't give him this chance, his center of gravity was very stable, his breath was even, and he didn't mean to panic at all.

Gordon wanted to get in from the left, but Yuan Qingshan took a step to block his way forward.

Gordon changed direction and turned to the right. Yuan Qingshan's action just now did not affect his center, so he made a mistake with his feet and blocked Gordon again.

After two failed breakthroughs, Gordon wanted to try again, but D'Antoni yelled in the coach's area: "Pass, pass!"

This is D'Antoni's team, how can it work without passing the ball?

But obviously, Gordon just wanted to fight with Yuan Qingshan, but failed to make a breakthrough, so he flicked the ball with both hands, trying to point Yuan Qingshan up.

Whoever Yuan Qingshan is, of course he won't be fooled, and Gordon is stepping outside the three-point line at the moment, just in time to help Yuan Qingshan trigger the outside barrier skills.

Time is passing by second by second. If Gordon does not shoot this ball, this round will be over.

D'Antoni pinched his forehead with his thumb and index finger, worried.

Why did Eric Gordon get on top tonight? It's only the second quarter, and it's not time for singles at all.

Harden saw Gordon's difficulty, and came around from the left to catch the ball.

Gordon clearly saw Harden's intentions, but he didn't mean to give up the ball at all. He glanced at the timer and realized that he wasted too much time, so he jumped up and shot directly.

"External Line Barrier" activated!
Yuan Qingshan jumped up with a whoosh, and swung his right palm towards the basketball.

Snapped!
The ball was severely blocked by Yuan Qingshan and flew directly to the commentary booth.

Barkley was taken aback, and quickly got under the table. O'Neal laughed at Barkley, and grabbed the high-speed basketball with one hand.

The standard-sized Spalding basketball seems to be one size smaller in the hands of Shaquille O'Neal.

"Wow!"

There were bursts of roars from the auditorium, this time it was for the famous Lakers Shaq O'Neal.

O'Neill stood up, turned around and waved enthusiastically to the fans behind him.

"Shaq, Shaq!"

"Come back, big shark!"

Veteran Lakers fans shouted excitedly, the Sharks were still in the era of the Lakers, and it was also an exciting era.

Unfortunately, gone forever!
Only then did Barkley poke his head out from under the table. He rolled his eyes and looked at O'Neal, and said impatiently: "You are delaying the progress of the game, be careful the referee calls you a technical foul!"

O'Neill laughed and threw the ball to the referee. The referee even winked with him. Everyone knew that this big shark was a super-sized living thing.

Yuan Qingshan flew Eric Gordon's shooting cap, so the Rockets still own the ball.

It was Capela obediently running to the sideline to serve, and Griffin ran over and shouted to him: "Pass it to James, don't pass it to Eric, that guy lost his mind tonight."

Capela nodded obediently, poured his arm, and handed the ball to James Harden.

"James, James, here, pass the ball, pass the ball!" Eric Gordon was just rewarded by Yuan Qingshan with a big hot pot, and he was depressed in his heart, eager to show it again, to avenge his shame.

To Gordon again?

Harden didn't think it mattered, he scratched his head and looked at Coach D'Antoni.

"NO, NO, NO..." D'Antoni only had this one mouth shape.
