"I told you to get a massage earlier, but I didn't want you to be lazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Normal, I need you to keep a normal mind! Leave that damn 22-game winning streak behind me, winning or losing this game is the only thing you have to think about right now! ”

"How do we usually play? Is that how it was fought? Defend! I want you to play tough defensively! Look at James. Harden's breakthrough in the casual stroll, even Chandler. You can't handle Parsons? In the second quarter of the game, slow down the pace and strengthen the defense! Don't go against the Rockets, you're slowly getting into the rhythm that Team Rocket loves! "Rickard loves to swear, but he's not a swearer. The young coach is always able to analyse the situation on the pitch thoroughly and then give the right guidance to the players.

After being sprayed with dog blood, the Trail Blazers players were not disappointed, but full of energy.

Normal, defensive, slow-paced. With these three things that Rickard had laid out during the break, the Trail Blazers players confidently stepped onto the court and began their journey in the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still used an all-bench lineup. The Rockets, on the other hand, use a lineup that mixes bench and main players.

However, what reassures Ricard is that James. Harden wasn't on the court. As long as there is no Harden, Rickard is not afraid of the rest of the Rockets at all.

From passing to scoring, the Rockets' flashy offense in the first quarter of the game can be said to have been entirely created by Harden.

Now that the Trail Blazers have stepped up their defense, it will be difficult for the rest of the Rockets to play without Harden.

Patrick. Beverley, a fierce-looking No. 1 position, is the man who has the ball on the field right now.

The guy was drafted by the Lakers with the second pick in 2009, but the Lakers didn't sign him. After that, Beverley traveled to Europe, and for 10 years, Beverley originally thought that the olive branch of the Heat would be a turning point in his career. Unfortunately, after the preseason game, Beverley was finally cut. After that, the NBA stage became more and more distant for Beverley.

Earlier this season, due to Jeremy Lin's injury, the Rockets were in dire need of a cheap and usable No. 1 to replace Jeremy Lin, and Beverley became a target for the Rockets.

Although this guy's statistics are mediocre, his hard work on the basketball court still allows him to successfully capture the hearts of Rockets executives and Rocket fans.

Especially when such a guy meets the elderly Fischer, Fischer is even more difficult.

Beverley can be said to have completed the breakthrough without difficulty, and this hard-working guy is simply not something that the current Fischer can stop.

He burst into the box and Fischer had to chase from behind. Beverley suddenly made a sudden stop-and-go jumper, and the fans in the Toyota Center even cheered in advance.

However, Batum suddenly sprang out at this moment and caught Beverley off guard. Beverley thought he was already in front of him, but Batum's sudden interference made Beverley's shooting rhythm completely unbeatable.

In the first quarter of the game, the defense of both sides was useless, and everyone was accustomed to the fast-paced offense. Now, the Trail Blazers have suddenly increased their defensive intensity, and the Rockets can't slow down for a while.

In this way, McHale's lineup with a mix of substitutes and main players quickly became untenable. The Trail Blazers quickly put a four-point lead, and they did it all with their bench lineup.

"James, Lin, Parsons, get ready to play!" McHale knew that the situation could not continue like this, so he called a timeout and stopped several key players early, hoping that they could use their offensive firepower to suppress the momentum of the Trail Blazers. However, when these three people came on the court, the Trail Blazers' starting five tigers were also in front of them.

An Jie clapped his hands, attracting the attention of his teammates. "Stand up your defensive position and let those guys on the Rockets see what toughness is!"

An Jie's shouting made his teammates enthusiastic. Jeremy Lin couldn't help but swallow when he saw that the five people on the other side were all imposing and fierce. Can a smooth offense really be played?

Not close to the three-point line, Damion. Lillard posted it to Jeremy Lin without reservation. Jeremy Lin's confrontation ability is definitely one of his shortcomings, and in the face of frequent physical contact defense, this Haval top student is really at a loss.

Lillard doesn't worry about his defensive position getting too far forward, and when it comes to speed, Lillard is still full of confidence.

Seeing that Jeremy Lin was so entangled that he couldn't even finish the work of organizing the offense, James . Harden was out of the box, ready to receive a pass from Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin stumbled and passed the ball out, and if it weren't for Harden's quick eye, the ball would have turned into a mistake.

Harden did not hesitate after winning the ball, and went inside without hesitation. No pick-and-roll, no containment. Harden rushed straight through Matthews with speed and attacked the restricted area guarded by Anjie.

Is Harden stupid? No, this guy is smart. He knew how terrifying Anjie's defense was, and a man who could catch James from the front was not something that could be defeated by courage.

Harden's impact is not to score directly, but to cheat fouls!

If An Jie is a master of porcelain on the defensive end, then Harden is a master of porcelain on the offensive end. This guy was once criticized by people, and scoring only depends on touching porcelain.

But I have to admit that being able to make opponents foul and stand on the free throw line is also a science. And Harden has a lot of research on this knowledge.

He leaned towards An Jie without fear, and when he saw An Jie menacing in front of him, Harden was even happier.

I saw this young bearded man holding the ball in both hands and taking a beautiful European step. He jerked forward, intending to force An Jie to invade his cylinder. However, at that moment, Harden was empty.

"Damn it!" Harden, who didn't find the point of focus, stumbled on his feet and walked four or five steps in a row holding the basketball. This obvious step naturally did not escape the eyes of the referee.

"Poof." Mutombo almost burst out laughing when he saw the funny scene. Anjie is not one of those ordinary stupid big guys, and if Harden wants to make a foul on him, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Seeing that Harden made such an embarrassing mistake, An Jie deliberately spread his hand at him, saying that he was very innocent.

But Harden was angry, and since he broke through Matthews, Anjie designed to make a fool of himself! From beginning to end, An Jie was playing tricks on him!

"Don't try to score on my head with this opportunistic defense, if you want to win, you have to rely on some real skills." When Anjie passed by Harden's side, his mouth was not honest at all. In fact, An Jie didn't want to provoke Harden, but Harden's angry expression attracted An Jie's attention.

Maybe the continued stimulation of the Rockets' star will have unexpected results?

After Harden returned, the Rockets' first offense ended in failure. And the Trail Blazers, who have strengthened their defense, have not forgotten to strengthen their integrity on the offensive end.

The Trail Blazers no longer rely on Anjie, although Anjie can replace the Rockets with center Kerr in minutes. Aldridge was left with no scum. But the players of the Trail Blazers are still very active in running, and this kind of running naturally opens the door of the Rockets, who are not good at defense.

Cole. Aldridge, a big man who came out of the Thunder team like An Jie, was fiercely educated by his senior brother. The offensive skills that a center forward should have, Anjie showed all over in front of Aldridge. If Aldridge of the Trail Blazers is here, this kid will probably be able to gain more knowledge.

The Trail Blazers' offense was playing well, even better than in the first quarter. But what about rockets? Harden continued to try to touch porcelain a few more times, but Anjie was not fooled.

When An Jie used an easy block to erase Harden's layup that rushed to touch porcelain, the choice of making a foul was also completely annihilated in Harden's heart.

Fortunately, Jeremy Lin and "Rich and Handsome" Parsons had a very good hand in this game, wiping Harden's butt. Otherwise, the difference between the two teams is now estimated to be in double digits.

Anjie once again showed his all-round dominance, and on both offensive and defensive ends, no one in the Rockets could shake his power.

People can't help but start to sigh, this Chinese is worthy of being a guy who has surpassed Drexler's record! This kind of performance is worthy of such a result.

After that, McHale made some adjustments to make the Rockets' offense string up again, turning back to the team offensive mode in the first quarter.

With Jeremy Lin and Parsons' hot touch, Harden has also shown his talent for passing, although usually the bearded guy doesn't like to pass.

When the likes of Jeremy Lin and Parsons started scoring efficiently, the Trail Blazers had to focus on defending both of them, and the more opportunities Harden had to have.

Only now, Harden no longer dares to step into that damn restricted area. Because he knew that the Chinese wearing the No. 00 jersey would not let him get his wish. Stepping into the forbidden area is a complete dead end!

The Rockets relied on Jeremy Lin, Parsons and Harden's perimeter shots to bite the score, and although the hope of pulling the score away did not materialize, Rickard and Divac were particularly happy with the current situation.

There will always be times when the shooting feels bad, and the further back the game is played, the worse the physical strength of the players, and the easier it is for their shooting movements to deform. Maybe the Rockets can still bite the game by shooting in the second quarter, but when it comes to the critical moment in the fourth quarter, can the Rockets still rely on shooting alone to solve the problem?

There is no team in this world that has won glory by shooting!

"Your compatriot, he's really a deterrent. In the past, Harden was eager to get the ball and go inside, but now it's good that he doesn't dare to step into the restricted area. Even an elegant and elegant scorer like Maddie gave Anjie a thumbs up for his defense and deterrence.

Yao Ming only smiled slightly after hearing this, but did not respond. Deterrence, even Yao Ming back then, has never been obtained.

Otherwise, how could Yao Ming think that An Jie was destined to surpass himself?

By the end of the second quarter, Harden had zero points in the box. The score between the two sides also became 59-50. With one more round of play, the Trail Blazers could stretch the margin to double digits.

Anjie's dominant performance gave the Trail Blazers the upper hand. Sam. Smith should be very nervous right now, as Angel is one step closer to a 22-game winning streak......
