Chapter 142: James Harden in Shock

With just three and a half minutes into the game, the Rockets scored 15 points with ease. For the Rockets' players, www.biquge.info their confidence has skyrocketed, but they can't help but look down on the Lakers more in their hearts.

The Lakers had the worst record in franchise history last season with 17 wins, comparable to the 76ers. Even if Luke Wharton is favored by various experts, they don't believe that Luke Wharton will build his own ball system for the Lakers in such a short period of time.

The corners of Zhao Wei's mouth raised, and he could see the contemptuous expressions on the faces of the Rockets players. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart: "It looks like they're going to suffer a little." ”

Sure enough, Luke Wharton didn't call a timeout. D'Angelo Russell took advantage of Randle's cover at the top of the arc to attack the interior directly. After compressing the defense, Russell jumped up and saw the pass to Nick Young who was ambushed in the bottom right corner. Harden's defense has been criticized throughout, and at this point he was completely drawn to Russell's offense and moved to the interior position.

Nick Young, who received the ball, was completely empty, and the two meters in front of him were empty. Nick Young has missed a couple of three-pointers before, and he won't miss it this time. Nick Young scored an empty three-pointer.

Back on the Lakers' side, they disrupted Nene offense twice in a row who replaced Capela early. Back to the offensive end, first Russell's strong side turned to the weak side, Randle was not greedy, and directly gave it to Lu Erdeng in the bottom corner of the right side, and won three points.

Again, Randle controlled the ball over half the court and handed it to Russell, who received the ball and shot instantly. Three points are steadily soaring.

At 1 minute and 15 seconds, the Lakers' boys, three three-pointers, directly stopped the Rockets. Although Harden was not distracted, he was also shocked into a cold sweat. He is very aware of this kind of young team, after all, when he was on the Thunder team, he formed the Thunder four with Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Ibaka. If you go crazy, no one can stop you.

Harden stared at his teammates and thought to himself, "It's time to remind them." "Last season, the Rockets were bad, and he didn't receive too much criticism, but it was Howard, who he hit, who, with the help of management, took the blame and became a cancer on the team. This summer he returned to his hometown team, the Eagles.

The boss of the Rockets has completely become himself, and Morey's guy is interesting enough, not only renewing his big contract, but also matching special players and coaches according to his characteristics. So this season, he absolutely does not allow the team to lose. Otherwise, he will face the bombardment of the media every day next summer, and he will not be able to live in peace.

As soon as Harden returned to the bench, he immediately pulled a few people past and commanded him. D'Antoni looked at him, and was happy to stand in the back and watch Harden set it up.

When the game resumed, the Rockets' offense was more focused, but their defense still didn't improve much. If you think about it, their manager must be D'Antoni, who has never been a defensive-minded team.

The scenes on both sides are very good-looking, and the pace is also very fast. You and I are one by one, they don't give in to each other, and the hit rate is also good.

The Rockets' side of the organization is all handed over to Harden. Harden has also shown his excellent playmaking skills, constantly providing subtle assists to his teammates.

The Lakers, on the other hand, are more blossoming, and every player's offense is full of confidence, believing that their shots will definitely go in.

Everyone saw the new side of the Lakers. The broadcast media also gave the camera to Luke Wharton, who was sitting on the bench.

One commentator after another exclaimed that Luke Wharton was able to build his own prototype of the ball system on the Lakers so quickly. Of course, a complete system is impossible, but you must know that everything is difficult at the beginning, and with a prototype of the system, everyone will be able to know where the development concept of their team is. There is a direction to strive for improvement.

However, at the end of the bench, one person showed a disagreement with the whole court.

Everyone is cheering, singing and dancing for the Lakers. And Zhao Wei glanced at the court indifferently at this time, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Sitting next to him is world peace. Although the name of the player for World Peace has now changed to look like an ambassador of peace, when he was young, he was slapping his arms at countless players.

Take James Harden on the court now, when he was still in the Thunder, he was elbowed by World Peace and concussed in the game against the Lakers and went to the hospital.

He was wearing a crisp suit today, and it looked like he wasn't going to play.

World Peace noticed Zhao Wei beside him. He thought that Zhao Wei was sleeping, thinking of the misfortune that Zhao Wei had suffered before. He was also very sympathetic and did not wake up Zhao Wei. Instead, his body moved, and he used his body to block the camera next to Zhao Wei.

In fact, World Peace is a misunderstanding of Zhao Wei. After Zhao Wei came into contact with those new memories, he didn't have time to fully understand his current self. Closing his eyes and pondering, Zhao Wei wanted to be able to fully integrate the memories of the two sides as soon as possible, and at the same time integrate the team tactics that Zhao Wei had learned before.

When Zhao Wei slowly closed his eyes, and the entire arena was silent for a moment, Zhao Wei felt countless memory fragments rushing towards him, rushing into his brain, and merging with his own memory. The huge amount of information made Zhao Wei's head hurt slightly, but Zhao Wei knew that he didn't have time to delay, frowned slightly, and endured the pain to accept the changes in his brain and body. As the two memories fused, Zhao Wei began to feel the changes in his body.

First of all, he felt that his body was heating slightly, and this fever did not come from the inside out, but from the outside in. First the skin, then slowly to his muscles, and finally to his bones, and finally Zhao Wei felt that his whole body was like being in a steamer. The sweat on his body flowed down like a stream, and soon he was soaked with the training clothes he was wearing.

However, Zhao Wei is not tired of this process, even if there is a little pain, but compared to the benefits obtained, these are not worth mentioning. After the heat moisturized his body, Zhao Wei obviously felt that his physical fitness was improving, or it could be said to be recovering.

Muscles are full of strength and elasticity. Although he can't look inside his body like those legendary immortals, he is 100% sure that his bones have become stronger.

Zhao Wei's "sleep" "slept" for the entire first half.

The first half was a hot game on both sides. However, the overall strength of the Rockets is indeed stronger than that of the Lakers, although the defense of both teams is not very good, but in comparison, the Rockets' ability to grasp scoring opportunities is stronger. Harden, in particular, has played a statistic that is against the sky.

Harden faced Russell and Mozgov in the middle. It's not good to jump up and pass, jump up and pass, but people find their teammates on the inside accurately.

Nene didn't have anyone's defensive dunk on the inside.

At this time, Ingram's defense of Harden, who replaced Nick Young, became the fuse for Harden's complete outburst, of course, it does not mean that Ingram's defense was not good and was ravaged by Harden. Instead, Ingram's defense against Harden is too good.

Ingram came on as a substitute when Harden made a free throw. When he got on the court, he received countless cheers and applause from Lakers fans. When Ingram was drafted in the draft, Lakers fans began to celebrate. Ingram is regarded as the cornerstone player of the future of the Lakers, and he is the loud voice of Durant's second generation.

Ingram stretched out his long arm to cover Harden, Harden couldn't break through, and gave it to his teammate Nenei, who couldn't make a single shot, and then passed back to Harden. Harden had to face Ingram's defensive singles, but Ingram's defensive area was too large, and he was surprisingly calm and didn't eat Harden's shake at all.

Harden was depressed, shook one after another, and finally missed a strong shot from beyond the three-point line.

Ingram's excellent defense naturally drew a roar.

At this time, Harden's face was a little unbearable.

After Luke Wharton brought in his squad and replaced Mozgov with Clarkson to play a small lineup. Harden exploded.

The other four Rockets players acted as if they couldn't dribble at all, and the ball was completely in Harden's hands. Whether it is offensive or passing is completely in Harden's own control, but Harden does have such an ability, and he tears apart the Lakers' defense with sharp breaks. With sharp passing, it is easy to tear apart the Lakers' defense.

Harden scored on a breakaway. In the second half of the first quarter, Harden showed off his passing skills continuously, giving four assists to Capela in a row, allowing Capela to score easily. Two long passes that spanned several people and quickly attacked the air. The high-toss after the breakthrough in the two positions.

In the Lakers' lineup, Harden is like no one. It's easier to brush data than to eat melon seeds. Soon he scored 38 points in a single quarter. However, there is still a gap from D'Antoni's pre-match rhetoric.

D'Antoni said before the game: "If a lineup like the Rockets can't score 50 points in a quarter, he's very sad." ”

Of course, although it was difficult for the Lakers to limit Harden, Harden scored 12 points and a quasi-double-double of 9 assists in just one quarter. But the Lakers still bit on the aggregate. With Russell's excellent outside touch, he hit consecutive three-point shots, and even scored four points in a wonderful way. There was also Ingram's three-point buzzer. Randle's strong inside line was even more relied on Loue Williams' three-point shot at the final moment.

Every player on the court from the Lakers made their own contribution to tie the score at 38:38.

Harden played the entire first quarter, so he stayed off the court for the first half of the second quarter.

Without Harden's organization, the Rockets can still score, but they are like headless flies, which gives them enough opportunities for the Lakers' lax defense. But they still made mistakes.

And the Lakers are playing vigorously after replacing the old rookie Brazilian point guard and Hurtas. Ingram scored in a single and scored again with an empty dunk. Others are also icing on the cake.

The first half passed quickly, and within six minutes of Harden's off-court break, the Rockets were beaten by the Lakers to overtake the score and lead the Rockets by three points.

50:53!

That's when Harden came on the pitch, continuing the madness of the first quarter, and even more crazy than the first quarter.

On the court, the Rockets attacked for the first time without any tactical runs. Harden made a break, took a step from the three-point line, and returned to the top of the arc to the right position. Ryan Anderson came with a three-pointer up. The score is tied!

After Harden played, the rest of the main players also began to run smoothly like robots with souls. Take advantage of the Lakers' mistakes to play a fast break.

Ryan Anderson missed a three-pointer from a long distance, but the rebound bounced right into Harden's hand and scored with a low hand licking the basket.

Thankfully, Randle turned around and forced Ryan Anderson to return for a layup. In this game, Randle made the most of his advantage, forcing Ryan Anderson several times in a row, and so far, he has only missed one goal.

However, the ball in the Rockets' backcourt was sent to Harden, and Harden directly threw a long pass to Ariza.

Even though Ariza was standing in front of the Lakers' defenders, he still made a resolute move. The ball is scored again.

This kind of ball is simply unreasonable.

The courtside commentator couldn't help but sigh that although the Rockets had an excellent hand, such an unreasonable offense also had an obvious suspicion of brushing up data for Harden and contempt for the opponent.

The Rockets successfully opened the score again, and at the same time, Harden's various statistics, especially the assist data, were like riding the Rockets.

Harden is obviously not satisfied with his current assist count, and is still obsessively brushing his assist statistics. Eric Gordon who broke through the inside line and suddenly passed to the right side of the outside line.

Eric Gordon hit a three-pointer from beyond range.

Immediately after, Harden assisted Capela again to get the rim down.

In the blink of an eye, Harden attacked the interior again, attracting the attention of three defenders before hitting Eric Gordon back to the top of the arc.

He hit two ultra-long three-pointers one step away from the three-point line in a row.

Although the Lakers played well on Randle's side, Randle played 6 of 7 in the first half, but it was only a good life.

In the last attack of the second quarter, the ball was still in the hands of Harden, and after a change of direction, he shot three points directly.

Randall was a little more forward at this point.

Harden's best, or most shameful, skill was activated. With a hook of his legs, he somehow leaned on Randall.

Shout!!!

A whistle blows.

Three-point foul.

Three free throws and two hits.

The Rockets took the lead again.

73:61!!! Harden had 18 points and 13 assists in the first half.

At the end of the first half, when the players on both sides were about to go back to the locker room, World Peace found that Zhao Wei next to him was still sleeping at this time.

Syllable!

World Peace patted Zhao Wei and said, "Let's go, kid." ”

"Oh!" Zhao Wei slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of light shot out.

World Peace happened to look at Zhao Wei and looked at Zhao Wei in shock. Although when Zhao Wei first came to the stadium, he felt Zhao Wei's changes, like a sharp sword, but looking at Zhao Wei so closely, world peace was shocked. He had never seen such a light in the eyes of any player, he was not only a sharp sword, but also a sword ready to unsheath and kill all sides. (To be continued.) )
