Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 234 156 [The truth is always unbelievable]

If it is a normal Eric Gordon to replace Chris Paul, then everyone's doubts may be less.

But the problem is that Eric Gordon's state in tonight's game has not been normal from beginning to end, and has been in a downturn.

So is D'Antoni out of his head?Sending Eric Gordon at such a critical moment, isn't this rushing to lose?
Some unidentified home fans turned to D'Antoni with very hateful expressions.

But from beginning to end, D'Antoni's expression didn't seem to change.

At the last moment, with 25 seconds remaining in the game, the Dallas Mavericks led by 2 points and the ball belonged to the Houston Rockets.

Judging from the situation, for the Houston Rockets playing at home, although the situation is grim, it is definitely not without opportunities.If they can take advantage of this last attack to complete a tie Shenzhen lore goal, it is obviously another village.

Therefore, it is indeed time to test the offense of the Houston Rockets, and it is also time to test the defense of the Dallas Mavericks.

Neither side has timed out, that is to say, no matter what, in the last 25 seconds, all the winners and losers will be determined quickly.

At the beginning of the game, the Lone Ranger adopted a full-court closed defense as no surprise.

From the moment James Harden received the ball from the backcourt, he was defended by at least two players on the Dallas Mavericks side, which even cost him the ball at one point.

The outsider Eric Gordon ran in time to cover the involvement and escorted all the way, which made it difficult for James Harden to reach the frontcourt.

Even so, the 24-second attack time has quickly consumed 6 seconds.

In other words, when James Harden came to the frontcourt with the ball and made a simple adjustment, there were only 18 seconds left for him to control the offensive time.

An offensive time that is sufficient in theory but very rare in practice.

In the face of James Harden's possession of the ball, the Dallas Mavericks paid [-]% attention to it. Jiang Hao stepped forward to defend in person, and Trevor Ariza on the side also did a good job in assisting defense.

It can be said that James Harden's offensive power is undoubtedly revealed by being able to be jointly defended by the Bayonet and Trevor Ariza, two top defensive players in the league, new and old.

For Jiang Hao and the others, defending James Harden is definitely not an easy job, because James Harden has ample ammunition in his arsenal, and the thing that makes defensive players fear the most is his ability to draw fouls.

Jiang Hao knew very well that at this time, James Harden must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise, with James Harden's free throw percentage, they would probably be the ones who lost tonight.

Therefore, whether it is Jiang Hao or Trevor Ariza, when double-teaming and blocking James Harden, they try not to use it as much as possible, but use their height advantage to block James Harden's vision and make him lose his shooting angle.

For James Harden, he is also very nervous at this time. The bayonet is afraid of his foul-making ability, but why is he not afraid of the bayonet's blocking?

15 seconds!
12 seconds!
Pulling from the left side of the top of the arc to the right, and then from the right to the left side of the top of the arc, James Harden ran back and forth along the three-point line with the help of his teammates.

But he still couldn't get rid of the bayonet. The bayonet stuck to him like a piece of brown sugar, which made him crazy.

8 seconds!
5 years!
Time is running out for James Harden.

The offensive time is getting less and less, and the entire Toyota Center seems to have stopped breathing at this time, and everyone is watching James Harden's actions.

3 seconds!
2 seconds!
James Harden made a shot, at the top of the arc, facing the double-teaming of many Dallas Mavericks players, he still resolutely chose to make a shot.

but.

pendant!
God was not on James Harden's side. His ultra-long-range three-pointer hit the frame and the rebound was caught by DeAndre Jordan.

beep.

With DeAndre Jordan slamming the ball upfield, the game is officially over.

As if he had been slapped hard, James Harden's face turned into a pig's liver, the fans on the scene looked dumbfounded, and the entire Toyota Center was instantly enveloped in frustration and disappointment.

Only the Dallas Mavericks' bench area looked happy.

James Harden turned around and left. Under his leadership, not even all the Houston Rockets players greeted the Dallas Mavericks, and everyone quickly returned to the locker room.

From the perspective of the process, this strong matchup should be called exciting, but to be honest, the Houston Rockets showed too many problems in this game. They should have a chance to win this game, but, no Know why, weird, they just lost the game inexplicably.

Among them, Rockets coach D'Antoni's formation at the last moment aroused many people's doubts and discussions at the first moment after the game.

"D'Antoni is either mediocre or a traitor"

Angry Houston Rockets fans even directly labeled D'Antoni as such.

"Behind the loss, the two cores of the Houston Rockets, James Harden and Chris Paul, had a fierce verbal conflict in the locker room!"

For D'Antoni, the slightly lucky news is that not long after the game ended, a local media in Houston with great powers exposed what happened in the Rockets locker room after the game intact.

James Harden and Chris Paul clash?
The Rockets fans were stunned, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

If it is true, it is not surprising that D'Antoni dispatched troops at the last moment, and it is not surprising that the Houston Rockets even lost the game.

Because for the powerful Dallas Lone Ranger, it is not too difficult to beat a discordant team in an away game, even if the Lone Ranger made a lot of mistakes in this game.

"In fact, James Harden and Chris Paul had a gap at the beginning of the season. They are no longer the intimate and trusting lightbulb combination of last season."

"Chris Paul is very dissatisfied with James Harden's obsession with singles and his attitude on the defensive end"

"Conversely, James Harden feels that Chris Paul is too old, unable to stand up to share the pressure at critical moments and often injured"

"So, the two of them secretly competed in this way. In fact, as far as the game against the Dallas Mavericks is concerned, if the two of them can work together to make a contract, then they will have a high probability of winning this game. After all, this game In addition to the stable bayonet of the Dallas Mavericks in the game, the performance of other players was not good"
