Legendary basketball manager

Thunder serve.

Harden passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Cook started running from the bottom corner on the right, and finally circled out from a 45-degree angle on the left.

On the way, Collison and Perkins successively carried out pick-and-rolls for him, helping Cook successfully get rid of George's defense.

And Harden's pass is also from person to ball, allowing Cook, who ran out of space, to receive the basketball as soon as possible.

Cook catches and shoots the ball, the basketball spins at high speed after leaving his fingertips, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

39:33, this three-pointer can be said to stop the bleeding for the Thunder!

In the transition between offense and defense, McGrady used an explosive first step to pass Sefolosha, and then strode straight to the basket.

At the same time, Danny Green and Tucker are in the bottom corners on the left and right sides respectively.

George is also ready to catch the ball at the top of the key.

Only Big Ben stayed under the basket, so the space under the basket was very open.

As for the Thunder, except for Perkins, the rest of the players dare not shrink the inside guard.

Seeing this, McGrady took three steps very calmly and challenged Perkins directly.

Perkins is a heavy center.

Put him on top of the opposing center and he can do a good job.

But it is somewhat difficult for Perkins to protect the frame.

Seeing the menacing McGrady, Perkins could only grit his teeth, raise his hands high, and take off vigorously.

But with one leap, McGrady reached a height that Perkins couldn't reach.

The latter only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and heard a "bang" the next moment.

McGrady was merciless and directly dunked Perkins!

39:35.

After the ball was scored, the scene was silent for a second, and then deafening cheers erupted:

"wow~"

"omg!!! what did I see..."

"Poor Perkins, he was thrown to the ground just like that, should I call 120 for him?"

......

When the fans were crazy about this wonderful dunk, McGrady smiled slightly and had retreated to his own half, ready to defend.

Since breaking the "curse of the first round", t-mac's mentality has undergone subtle changes.

He's no longer chasing numbers so much, nor is he too excited about completing a difficult goal.

McGrady now has a clear goal and a peaceful mind.

The only thing that can make him anxious is the outcome of the game!

the other side of the field.

Harden and Collison pulled Perkins up with each hand.

At this time, Perkins' brows were three points lonely, three points angry, and four points helpless.

The face that was already dark is even darker now!

"It's okay, you did your best."

Collison said comfortingly.

Perkins shook his head, didn't respond, just ran forward silently.

Easy side to fight again, Harden once again instigated the attack.

He first used the cover to break to the free throw line, and then distributed the ball to Cook on the outside.

George reacted quickly, and immediately put in place the defense, blocking in front of Cook.

Seeing that there was no chance to shoot, Cook passed the ball to Sefolosha on the baseline.

After Ruishi Saber received the ball, he looked up at the timer.

Seeing that the attack time was only 7 seconds left, he decisively chose to solve the problem by himself.

Sefolosha switched to a post-up dribble and started hitting Danny Green.

After two tops, he did a right turn with a shake of the shoulder, and then turned over for a fadeaway jumper...

Green did not lose his position, jumped high and sealed it on Sefolosha's fingertips.

The basketball was lightly touched by Green, and then the iron went wide.

Tucker jumped lightly and received the rebound.

But just as he was about to pass the ball to McGrady, a pair of black hands suddenly stretched out from behind him and grabbed the basketball.

The next moment, Tucker felt a huge force coming from the basketball, almost throwing him directly.

And the owner of this pair of black hands is Perkins who was detained not long ago.

He exerted all his energy, as if spreading the fire in his heart on Tucker.

Although Tucker was "sneak attacked", his hands were always firmly on the basketball.

As soon as Perkins gritted his teeth, he combined his waist and horse to exert force again, and actually threw Tucker's feet off the ground.

Tucker, who lost his center of gravity, finally lost control of the basketball.

After Perkins "robbed" successfully, he immediately took off under the basket, ready to use a dunk to get back to the field.

Seeing the basket getting closer and closer, the corners of Perkins' mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

But the next moment, Big Ben appeared out of nowhere, and slapped Perkins to the ground with a dribble from behind.

"Bang~"

There was a muffled sound, the sound of the violent collision between the human body and the wooden floor was somewhat penetrating.

But Big Ben didn't have the slightest sympathy. He immediately controlled the ball, then waved his hand, and threw the ball to George who was about to come down.

Seeing this, Harden pulled his legs up and chased back.

Deng Ge in this period was still relatively light in weight, and his speed was above average in the back line.

He managed to catch George near the free throw line.

But as soon as the two of them reached a horizontal position, Paojiao actively sought physical contact and knocked Harden back.

Harden's center of gravity was unstable and he staggered towards the baseline.

But when George collected the ball and was about to make a layup, Harden used his right hand to grab it behind him...

The next moment, a scene that surprised the fans happened.

Harden's "looking back and digging" seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he cut accurately on George's ball.

The basketball was hit behind, and it just landed on the instep of Paojiao, and then he was kicked out of bounds...

Thunder ball!

The two commentators of CCTV were shocked by Harden's operation and couldn't help commenting.

Su Qun said: "Well... I have been watching football for so many years, I have seen no-look-pass, I have seen Kobe's no-pass-look (see people without passing the ball), but no It’s the first time I’ve seen someone pull out a ball.”

Yang Jian couldn't help laughing, and added: "And this steal is inexplicably joyful! Harden completed the steal with ease, and made George a mistake by the way."

George, who made a mistake, looked at his hands, and then at Harden not far away, somewhat dazed.

To be honest, Pickled Pepper still doesn't know how Harden cut the ball off.

[Obviously, I have used my dark energy to open him. ]

George thought to himself.

............

Thunder serve.

Harden dribbles through half court, then motions for Perkins to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Naturally, Big Ben followed Perkins to the perimeter.

"Look at this posture, Harden is going to continue to name Ben Wallace?!"

Su Qun said with some surprise.

As soon as his words fell, Harden really used the pick-and-roll to replace the defender in front of him with Ben Wallace.

Daben was not used to him either, and immediately began to press close to him after switching defenses.

But this time Harden's center of gravity sank, and he changed direction with a cross step, instantly throwing off Ben Wallace who was on defense.

After completing the pass, Deng Ge accelerated to kill the Rockets penalty area.

After coming to the free throw line, he raised the ball with straight arms and put the ball near his knees.

When Tucker moved laterally to the three-second zone to make up defense, Harden suddenly raised his hand...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the arms of the two came into intimate contact.

"Beep!"

The referee immediately blew his whistle, and Tucker made a defensive foul.

But this is not over yet!

Relying on his strong upper body strength, Harden still completed the layup after contact.

Since it is a coherent action, the two points for the layup must also be counted!

"Andone!"

After scoring the goal, Harden roared excitedly.

Tucker, on the other hand, held his head in his hands, with a look of shock on his face.

He obviously didn't make any hand presses, but somehow, it hit Harden's hands...

"No, referee, no!"

"It was Harden who hit my hand just now!"

Tucker reacted and immediately complained to the referee.

The referee was taken aback.

After so many years of law enforcement, this is the first time he heard the saying that "offensive players hit defensive players' hands".

This was obviously beyond the cognition of the referee, so he ignored Tucker's complaint.

Tucker had nowhere to complain, so he could only look around at his teammates for help.

Rookies like Green and George are also stunned.

Maddie frowned slightly.He saw something, but wasn't quite sure.

And Ben Wallace was just behind Harden, so he didn't see the latter's movements clearly.

Tucker had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

However, when Harden walked to the free throw line, the big screen at the scene began to play the foul just now in slow motion.

The next moment, the fans quit!

Deafening boos resounded through the audience.

The referee didn't know, so he looked up at the big screen, and only then did he know what happened just now.

He immediately found a lineman to communicate.

"What do you think of this kind of ball?"

asked the referee.

"Harden did go for Tucker's arm on purpose, but this kind of ball...calling a defensive foul seems to be no problem."

the linesman replied.

"Well, I have a similar idea."

"According to the rules, offensive players are protected. If Tucker's hand does hit Harden's hand, it is a defensive foul, no problem!"

The referee nodded and said.

The two referees reached a consensus, and Harden made the extra penalty despite boos all over the sky.

After 1 minute, a similar situation happened again.

Harden passed Ben Wallace with a beautiful crossover and went inside again.

This time, it was McGrady who made up the defense.

Just as t-mac was ready to defend the penalty area, Harden suddenly raised his arm and completed a layup while clamping McGrady's arm...

Miss!

But the referee's whistle sounded again - McGrady's defensive foul.

Now t-mac can see clearly.

Harden is a touch of porcelain!

But McGrady was not in a hurry, but calmly walked to the referee, bent down, and whispered:

"Just now he took the initiative to find my hand. Does this count as my foul?"

Seeing that it was McGrady who came to ask, the referee patiently explained: "Harden's lifting motion is a little unnatural, but the rules don't say that you can't use this posture to come up."

"So I'm going to avoid his hand, right?"

Maddie asked.

The referee was stunned and speechless.

McGrady did not get a satisfactory answer, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The on-site director immediately began to replay the foul round just now.

Now the fans are completely angry!

When Harden walked to the free throw line, there was a uniform voice on the scene:

"referee. sucks!"

"referee. sucks!"

"referee. sucks!"

............

In the vip box on the stand, Shen Fei shook his head.

He did not expect that the time when Harden used "fouling" as a conventional weapon was so much earlier than the original time and space.

This technology will undoubtedly greatly improve Harden's scoring ability in a short period of time.

But at the same time, "making fouls" is also a double-edged sword, which will become Harden's shackles at critical moments.

In his previous life, Shen Fei had witnessed many times that Harden was only thinking about fouling at critical moments, and finally delayed the fighter, leading to the team's defeat.

Of course, given the Thunder's current situation, Harden's ability to draw fouls is definitely beneficial to the team.

And now the league doesn't know much about the pinch layup, and this trick is still in the welfare period.

Harden's success rate of using it to draw fouls should be quite high.

However, Shen Fei is still very confident in the Rockets.

He believes that it is impossible for a team aiming to win the championship to be defeated by such small tricks.

............

Harden walks to the free throw line.

After he made his first free throw, Mark Jackson made substitution adjustments.

Curry, Roy, and Yao Ming all appeared on the stage.

The Rockets' lineup became: Curry, Roy, McGrady, Tucker, Yao Ming.

Soon, Harden hit the second free throw, the score changed to 44:35, and the point difference returned to 9 points again.

However, even though the point difference was large, the Rockets generals were not too anxious, and their expressions were still very calm.

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry passed the half court with the ball.

McGrady fell directly to the low post and began to get stuck for the ball.

Sefolosha, who was defending him, lowered his center of gravity and kept exerting force in his hands, trying to push McGrady out of the penalty area.

Curry made a lob and passed the ball.

After McGrady received the ball, he held the ball with one hand in his right hand and held the ball high in front of his body. At the same time, his back fell backwards, feeling the defense behind him.

Sefolosha felt that McGrady was almost lying on him, so he subconsciously wanted to back up, making McGrady lose his center of gravity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his center of gravity moved back, McGrady followed his force and completed the turn.

t-mac's turn was large and fast, and it passed Sefolosha cleanly.

The latter wanted to chase and defend again, but McGrady had already gone away with a super fast first step, leaving only a handsome back.

After coming to the penalty area, McGrady took a step and jumped with both feet.

In the air, he tucked in his stomach slightly to avoid Collison's block, and pulled the bar for a layup.

44: 37.

In the transition between offense and defense, Harden repeated his old trick, trying to use the cover to call Yao Ming.

But Roy, who guards him, chooses to squeeze through the screen.

Harden saw the timing, took advantage of the gap between Roy's squeezed screens, and decisively shot a three-pointer...

"duang!"

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Tucker received the rebound and passed the ball to Curry beside him.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

In the fast break, Curry used his dexterous dribble to dance in the encirclement and suppression of the Thunder generals.

After attracting a lot of defensive attention, Mengshen dribbled the ball behind his back and passed the ball to McGrady who followed up.

t-mac caught the ball two meters away from the three-point line, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 44:40, the point difference was instantly reduced to 4 points!

"Harden's foul seemed to irritate McGrady a bit! During this period of time, McGrady's desire to attack has increased significantly, and his shots are not so 'reasonable'."

Su Qun explained with a smile.

"Yeah, don't look at McGrady's sleepy-eyed look, but now that he's angry, his aura is completely different!"

Yang Jian added.

Thunder bench, Westbrook and Durant can't sit still.

They all looked at Brooks, waiting for the coach's call.

"Kevin, Russell!"

Brooks, who was standing on the sidelines, turned and shouted.

Second Young Master Dewey stood up abruptly.

Young people naturally recover very quickly.

At this moment, the two of them are alive and well, and no one can tell that they were panting like dogs a few minutes ago.

"Ready to play."

Brooks' words were succinct and to the point.
