Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 230 150【Change】

It's not just Charles Barkley in the tnt live broadcast room who is angry. At this time, in the Toyota Center, in addition to being disappointed by James Harden's performance, many home fans also questioned D'Antoni's tactics. The fans and Charles Barkley Leigh posed the same question.

That is, since you know that James Harden is not good at defense, but still let him match up with the bayonet?Isn't this an obvious gift?

But in fact, D'Antoni is suffering at this time and can't tell.

He didn't want James Harden to defend Jiang Hao at all, but James Harden himself insisted on doing so.

"I'm here to match the bayonet. I really don't want to see Chris being provoked and humiliated by a rookie. You know, this is not about his honor alone, Chris."

This is the reason given by James Harden.

Obviously, James Harden's dissatisfaction with Chris Paul has reached a peak.

D'Antoni couldn't refuse James Harden's offer.

On the one hand, if he rejects James Harden, he is indirectly encouraging James Harden not to defend.

On the other hand, in the conflict between James Harden and Chris Paul, if he must stand on the side, he can only stand on James Harden's side, because an obvious fact is that he stands on James Harden's side, His head coach position can still be retained, but it is not necessarily on the side of Chris Paul. This is the reality.

In the NBA, there are two types of head coaches, one is the San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich, who has absolute authority on the team that cannot be challenged.

The other is D'Antoni. The head coach needs to look at the face of the star.

On the Houston Rockets bench, James Harden's face was a bit ugly. He didn't expect that after a year, the bayonet's offensive ability had improved by more than one level. In other words, he did not go all out to defend just now, but It should not be directly blasted by the bayonet.

At the same time, James Harden also felt that this was not just his own problem, and he once again pointed the finger at Chris Paul.

In his opinion, in the process of defending the bayonet just now, Chris Paul, as the engine of the team, did not make more contributions to the team's offense and defense.

Therefore, at this time, he made another request to D'Antoni, that is, he did not want himself and Chris Paul to appear on the court together in the next game.

What James Harden means is very simple, that is, he plays with one lineup, and Chris Paul plays with another lineup.

When James Harden made his suggestion, Chris Paul unexpectedly agreed after frowning a little. Obviously, when James Harden got tired of partnering with Chris Paul, Chris Paul This side is also tired of playing with James Harden.

D'Antoni has a big head.

It seems that this is a perfect division of labor, but this division of labor is based on absolute success. It is conceivable that once this game is lost, this will lead to greater conflicts within the team.

However, D'Antoni had to follow James Harden's advice.

Throughout D'Antoni's coaching career, he has worked with many superstars, and whether it is Steve Nash during the Phoenix Suns or Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, they all told him the same truth, that is, try to Don't fight the superstars.

Therefore, after returning from the timeout, people found that the Houston Rockets chose to change.

The team's second master, Chris Paul, sat on the bench, while James Harden led a lineup to continue to play.

On the point of facing the bayonet, it has also changed. It is no longer James Harden to defend the bayonet, but it has become "Nine Fingers" Gerald Green.

"There is no doubt that Gerald Green has shown us more than once that he is a tough guy. I will not question his defensive attitude, but frankly, I don't think he can limit the bayonet"

The Houston Rockets' roster adjustment made Charles Barkley shine, but he said so immediately.

The game continued, James Harden's European breakthrough layup helped the Rockets get a valuable 2 points, and the point difference changed from 4 points to 6 points.

Immediately after the Lone Ranger's possession of the ball, Jiang Hao directly chose to advance with the ball from the backcourt. Therefore, when he just passed the center line, he was defended by Gerald Green.

Gerald Green.

The nba is another inspirational model, of course Jiang Hao has heard of it.

But that's all. For Jiang Hao, whose self-confidence has reached its peak at the moment, he will never be fearless or hesitate when facing Gerald Green.

Gerald Green has a skill on the defensive end. He did bring some pressure to Jiang Hao, and even almost made Jiang Hao lose the ball at the free throw line, but with his terrifying reaction ability, Jiang Hao still completed the redemption. He just finished the shot against Gerald Green's defense.

The fiery bayonet is unstoppable.

The home fans sighed unanimously at this time. Judging from the offensive round just now, it is obvious that Gerald Green has tried his best, but still failed to prevent the bayonet from scoring.

In fact, at this time, for Gerald Green himself on the court, his pressure is also suddenly increasing.

There is a lot of pressure against a well-known scorer like the Bayonet, and after experiencing the difficulty of this matchup, he will feel even more terrifying.

Bayonet deserves to be the most popular superstar in the league in the past two seasons. His offensive power is simply devastating.

Perhaps in addition to dissatisfaction with Chris Paul, James Harden is also a warm-hearted team leader.

In this round, after Gerald Green failed to limit the bayonet scoring, he did not blame Gerald Green, but took the initiative to communicate with the latter, James Harden told Gerald Green, just need Is it enough to go all out?

And this scene happened to be seen by Chris Paul on the bench. He couldn't help but clenched his fist. For the team led by James Harden, Chris Paul is really getting more and more bored and disappointed .

Although Gerald Green failed to limit the bayonet on the defensive end, he turned around and made a contribution on the offensive end.

James Harden broke through the ball and took the initiative to find Gerald Green in the left corner.

Then Gerald Green went up and down to help the Rockets get 3 points.

Gerald Green, who hit the shot, roared deeply, and he felt much better.
