Kevin McHale was in a hurry, Harden's defense was still so careless, he shouted loudly: "Defense!" Watch your defense! ”

James Harden made an OK gesture to the sidelines, but McHale was still not at ease, Harden's defense this season is always a bit scummy, and the defensive end is often overstepped, fortunately, the Rockets have a Dwight Howard on the inside, otherwise the Rockets' defense will definitely be at the bottom of the league.

After a series of warnings, Harden gestured to defend well.

Then, the Rockets' offense, James Harden held the ball on the outside, and Anxi lowered his body and stood in front of Harden.

Neither of them spoke, but Harden gestured around for a while, looking at the stance, that is, he wanted to single Anxi for a ball, although Harden had wanted to single Anxi several times in a row, but since the opening few rounds, Harden has only succeeded once with the help of cover.

On the contrary, Anxi scored 10 points in a row and has already blown up Harden.

However, the game has just begun, Harden still has a chance to catch it back, and now Harden also thinks so, and he is not unaware of the pre-game media hype, what is the battle for the first quarterback, and what is the battle for the MVP rankings, although almost every time they meet will be exploded by Anxi, but Harden is also holding back his strength and is very unconvinced.

In the NBA, no one takes it for granted that they are inferior to others, especially a star of James Harden's level, who has played too many role players, and is already full of confidence in their hearts.

However, in this game, Harden met An Xi, who was in full shape and full of fighting spirit in his heart, and it was obvious that his tragedy was inevitable.

James Harden's continuous crotch dribble and cross-step, followed by an acceleration, direct breakthrough, this is Harden's usual routine, continuous crotch dribble and cross-step are all feints, often easily deceive the center of gravity of the defender, but Anxi is different, he judged Harden's breakthrough or feints very well, when Harden continued to feint, Anxi did not move, as soon as Harden accelerated, Anxi was entangled.

In the middle of the struggle, An Xi went directly to the ball and wanted to break the ball in Harden's hand.

As a result, Harden, who was already in a predicament, seized the opportunity, leaned forward, and suddenly fell on An Xi, and then threw the basketball to the basket at once.

Honk!

The referee blows the whistle decisively.

Anxi was immediately happy, he was angry with Harden, this ball Harden played very cheaply, and he saw that there was no chance, but Anxi was stronger and more aggressive in defense, and suddenly gave Harden a chance.

Harden walked to the free throw line, hit two free throws, and his personal score came to four points.

The 76ers' offense, Anxi personally brought the ball to the frontcourt, Harden's defense was indeed serious, Harden was not unable to defend, but his attention was always unable to focus on the defensive end, he would always think about offense, and once Harden paid attention to defense, he was also a good defensive player.

An Xi is in good shape now, he still chooses to do it alone in this ball, changes direction on the outside, accelerates past Harden, or the old way of playing, and rushes into the inside to make a stop-and-go jump shot.

However, the Rockets had a defense, and as soon as Anxi broke through, Chandler Parsons immediately made up for it, but Anxi still made a shot, but the ball took a little back, and threw the ball out against Chandler Parsons' supplementary defense.

Bang, I didn't go in.

The rebound was snatched by Howard, and An Xi waved his hand regretfully.

Seeing Anxi playing iron, Harden saw the hope of overtaking the score, and in the next round, he continued to attack with the ball, ready to continue to play Anxi alone.

is still the same style of play, James Harden's routine is a little simple, after the outside cross-step, Anxi is still very stable in defense and has no flaws, so Harden wants to repeat the old trick and make another foul.

And this time, Anxi still didn't give in, and still pushed up strongly, using his hands to interfere with Harden's shooting.

In the heat of the fight, Harden threw the ball to the basket again.

Bang, naturally, it didn't go in, but the whistle that Harden was expecting didn't sound.

This surprised Harden.

An Xi smiled, is it true that you James Harden has a star whistle, and I don't have it?

The referee has just blown Harden's star whistle once, and then a second time in a short period of time? It's impossible to think about! Two consecutive fouls blew Anxi down, so don't play this game, and directly send the Rockets to win.

So although Anxi still pushed in front of Harden and defended the ball strongly, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Asik grabs the rebound, it's a clean defense!

Harden was a little unconvinced and ran to the referee to appeal.

Anxi's side didn't care what Harden said to the referee, he directly asked for the ball, rushed to the front court with the ball, and wanted to advance quickly and play a wave of fast attack.

Seeing this, Harden didn't care about appealing to the referee anymore, and hurriedly turned back to defend.

Fortunately, the other players of the Rockets defended very quickly and failed to let the 76ers play a fast break directly.

Since he didn't play a fast attack, Anxi was not in a hurry, controlled the outside for a while, and then handed the ball to McCarvey and began to run without the ball.

After going around from the baseline, Anxi once again rushed to the top of the arc through the cover, this time suitable for McCarvey's hand-to-hand cooperation, and after receiving the ball, he faced Terrence Jones, who was making up the defense, and shot a three-pointer again.

Bang, the three points were a little shorter, and Anxi still didn't score.

However, for Harden, he is a little confused now, Anxi's defense is like an iron wall, he can't attack, and now the referee doesn't blow the foul, thinking about it, Harden can only continue to hold the ball on the outside and call for cover.

Terrence Jones's cover, Harden took a step to accelerate, and after changing defenses, the player who defended Harden became Pau Gasol, and Gasol could only retreat and then wait for Anxi to catch up.

Harden lunged in and raised his hand to shoot at the top of Gasol's head.

At this time, Anxi rushed out from behind Harden, a volleyball hat behind his back, snapped, and slapped the basketball out!

"Big hat! Pretty! James Harden continues to eat deflated! ”

was defended by Anxi again, this time he also ate a big hat, Harden's depression has reached a critical point, after re-serving, he received the ball and threw it, facing Anxi's defense, threw a whistle ball, bang, still not in.

The score was still 10:6, and neither team scored in a few rounds.

However, it is clear that the 76ers still have the advantage on the court.

After Anxi hit the iron continuously, he continued to attack with the ball, and the outside line held the ball and stretched out to probe the step, Harden defended Anxi from a distance, and he took it for granted that Anxi, who hit the iron twice in a row, would definitely not shoot three points again.

But Anxi did the opposite, as soon as he closed his feet and pulled out, he came up with another three points!

Bang, hit again!

Director Zhang sighed and said: "Anxi's three points have entered again!" He's already scored 13 points, this touch! Unreasonable! ”

13:6, on the Rockets' side, Harden continued to attack with a black face, facing Anxi's defense, he also tried to pull out a three-pointer on the outside, bang, still not going in!

So far in the opening game, Harden has only scored 4 points on 1 of 6 shots, while Anxi has directly reversed Harden, 5 of 7 shots, and his hand is hot.

After Harden missed a three-pointer, Anxi stopped focusing on individual offense and began to create opportunities for his teammates.

The ball was quickly transferred in the front court, Anxi ran without the ball and ran out of the opportunity, after receiving the ball, the rocket turned around and a defender made up for it, Anxi did not stick the ball, and passed the ball directly into the penalty area, Omir Asik dodged Howard who returned to the defense, and completed a light dunk with a bang above Howard's head.

Against his old club, Omir Asik also managed to score.

At 15:6, Kevin McHale called a timeout.

For the Rockets, it was only four minutes into the opening game, and the point difference was about to go to double digits, and the start of this game obviously couldn't be worse, James Harden continued to play iron, and Kevin McHale wanted to replace Harden, but considering that the team still needed Harden to contain Anxi, he gave up this idea.

However, after the timeout, Kevin McHale made a set-up, asking the team to attack more inside, so that Howard could play more positions and shoot more.

After the timeout, the Rockets began to shift their offensive focus to the interior, with Harden playing the ball to Howard, who forced Asik to turn and make a layup to score two points.

The 76ers' offense, Anxi continued to take the ball outside the three-point line, and after a breakthrough, he attracted the bag, Anxi shared the ball again, and Pau Gasol hit a mid-range shot, 17:8, and the 76ers still maintained a 9-point lead.

On the Rockets' side, after the outside cover, Chandler Parsons received the ball and threw it, hitting a three-pointer with a bang.

But soon Anxi also used color, and after the same cover, he threw off Harden and scored a three-pointer!

At 20:11, the margin was still 9 points, and Chandler Parsons' three-pointer was not able to narrow the gap for the Rockets.

Yu Jia praised: "Anxi played so well, just over halfway through the first quarter, he had already scored 16 points!" ”

Director Zhang also said with a smile on the side: "Yes, in comparison, Harden has been completely compared, and so far, he has only scored 4 points on 1 of 6 shots, and the gap is too obvious." ”

The gap is indeed obvious, the 76ers, with Anxi's excellent play, they have maintained a 9-point lead, and it seems that if it were not for Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard scoring on the offensive end, the 9-point difference would have been further expanded.

Immediately afterwards, the Rockets' offense, Harden's breakthrough failed, Anxi's defense was still solid, he could only choose to pass the ball and hand the ball to Chandler Parsons to handle.

Chandler Parsons received the ball with an accelerated breakaway, threw a shot against Jack Crowder's defense, and with a bang, the basketball smashed the rebound, and finally bounced into the basket.

At 20:13, the star of the Rockets was completely locked up by Anxi, but it was Chandler Parsons, who began to lead the team to score consecutive points and bite the score tightly.

In the 76ers positional battle, Anxi handed the ball to Pau Gasol in the high position, Gasol found an opportunity at the top of the arc for a while, and finally chose to come by himself, after slapping the basketball twice, he took two steps to the inside, and shot in an adjustment, and hit with a bang.

At 22:13, it was still a 9-point difference. (To be continued.) )
