757.Bullying the Thunder (Chapter 5.5K of the 3rd Update)

He scored 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting......

Harden looked at Sun Ce who walked on the court, and felt that he was fearless, he couldn't beat it anyway, and he was done.

In the same rookie, Harden averaged 14+3+3 per game in the first summer league, Sun Ce averaged 9.4 points and 6.2 assists per game, and the performance was similar, and in terms of age, Harden was in August 89 and Sun Ce was in January 90, which was also about the same.

But after actually entering the NBA, in just over a year, the gap has actually reached this point.

However, Harden has a good mentality, anyway, he is the team's younger brother, with Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka on top, he feels that he can just play his own bench, and leave the big things to the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.

The Thunder fielded a lineup of Nate Robinson, Harden, Durant, Muhammad, Cole Aldridge.

On the Grizzlies' side, the combination of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. played.

The Thunder, who lost the opening jump shot, attacked first, Harden received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, saw Durant being tightly pressed by Tony Allen's mad dog-style defense, made a gesture, and began to organize the offense himself.

In the first quarter, the Thunder did show the advantage of the strongest double star, Durant played more in the second half and was efficient, but it also made Westbrook play fewer singles in the second half of the first quarter, and Tony Allen consumed less as a result, and now he can continue to just Durant in a wave.

Durant sensed Mr. Tony's defense and took Harden's instructions to pull away to the baseline.

Sun Ce defended on the left side of the top arc to break through Harden with a high tendency on the left side.

"James Harden, 21, Ability Rating B, Offensive A-, Defensive B-...... Averaged 12 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game ......"

Although the current Xiao Dengdeng's ability is not particularly strong, and he is not strong in the sixth person, he has a good attitude and is willing to work hard in attack and defense, especially the technology is very comprehensive, and he knows everything, which has shown a trend of becoming a comprehensive sixth man.

Sun Ce lowered his weight and waited for Harden to break through.

Harden knows very well what advantage he has against Sun Ce, and after his teammates are in position, he breaks through to the left!

Sun Ce hurriedly moved sideways to the right, but Harden changed direction in advance, and when the ball bounced up and his right hand made a downward slap action, he suddenly quickly slapped the ball to the right with his left hand and broke through in the middle!

The burst is blazing fast! Sun Ce's A-level burst speed was originally a little worse than Harden's A+ level burst speed, so Sun Ce worked hard to predict Harden's breakthrough, but was deceived by Harden's feints and failed to press it at the first time.

But unexpectedly, Morrow actually blocked the mid-distance defense in place!

Sun Ce hurriedly pinched up, glanced to the right, and saw Nate Robinson standing more than a meter away from the three-point line, and understood why Morrow could make up for the defense in place, and the defenders with Moreau were so far apart, and Moreau was idle and had nothing to do.

Harden focused on dealing with Sun Ce, accidentally fell into the pinch shot, quickly found his teammates, and saw that Nate Robinson was so far away, a little reluctant to pass, but still passed.

Sun Ce immediately pounced on the right side of the top arc when Harden passed the ball, but the fart didn't work, because Nate Robinson received the ball and dribbled forward half a step, and threw it directly from a distance of one meter from the three-point line!

"Whoa......

Nate Robinson's ultra-long-range three-point shot!

At 37-33, the Thunder's lead extended to 4 points!

Good guys, this ball is literally out of the sky! However, the Shuangdi combination was not surprised, Yi Jianlian saw the ball fall into the basket and immediately sprinted towards the front court, and little Jordan quickly picked up the ball and withdrew from the bottom line and sent it to Sun Ce.

After receiving the ball, Sun Ce immediately recovered from the shock, rushed out of the three-point line, and counterattacked!

Nate Robinson, Harden, Durant retreated quickly, Harden blocked the right side of the sprint Yi Jianlian, Harden's body is getting stronger and stronger, 96 kg weight is stunned to carry Yi Jianlian, Nate Robinson caught up with Morrow who followed up on the left side, Sun Ce rushed to the front court and no one could pass the ball, Tony Teacher did not keep up, so Sun Ce did not hesitate to raise the speed to the fastest and rushed into the three-point line at full speed!

Durant's defensive awareness and ability are top-notch, and the A-level defense is already very good for a super breakup like Durant, and when Sun Ce rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, Durant followed.

Sun Ce's position in the three-second zone on the right side of the free throw line two steps away suddenly plummeted, Durant hurriedly pounced to prevent Sun Ce from making a jump shot, Sun Ce shot 6 of 7 in the first quarter! However, Sun Ce is not a stop-and-go jump shot!

Sun Ce turned left sharply, and accelerated to change direction to level 2 in the middle of the march to trigger!

Sun Ce's speed was temporarily increased to S, and he wiped it from the side of Durant who pounced on him, Durant had long legs, and quickly caught up, Sun Ce just rushed to the left sideline of the three-second zone, and saw that he couldn't get rid of Durant completely, and his shot was very likely to be interfered with by this big monster with long hands and long feet, and it was even possible to be blocked, and immediately changed direction again, and the additional bonus effect of accelerating the change of direction of 2 levels was carried out, and the change of direction of the second stage was accelerated!

As soon as Durant tried to chase the defense in place, Sun Ce suddenly accelerated again, took a big step from under the basket, grabbed the ball, and jumped to the right...... Layup hit!

In this counterattack, the fans who saw the bottom line most clearly showed exaggerated expressions and stood up and screamed!

In a counterattack, Sun Ce changed direction twice in a row in more than two seconds, and completed the big windmill!

Although I couldn't jump up because I changed direction too much, and I didn't dunk the empty basket, this big windmill was a bit of that, but it was really beautiful.

Durant watched Sun Ce hit his chest with the excited red-haired monster after scoring a goal and retreated, he didn't like Sun Ce so much, he smiled bitterly, he really accepted this ball!

Also, does he feel that Sun Ce doesn't want his knees? Dare to play such a change of direction! The most terrifying thing is that Sun Ce was able to do such a continuous change of direction.

Sun Ce, who retreated back, calmed down his excitement.

The continuous rapid change of direction just now is the second acceleration bonus after the acceleration change is upgraded to level 2 during the march, but it can rarely be used in ordinary times, the conditions are more harsh, and it is necessary to change direction for the first time to get rid of the frontal defense, and there is no person who makes up the defense in the direction of the basket, so as to trigger the second stage of acceleration, that is, one-on-one heads-up is useful, and it may be used when there is no passing opportunity when occasionally counterattacking, but in the face of most opponents who retreat back, Sun Ce is enough to change direction once, Because Durant is so big and has such a fast speed, Sun Ce has a chance to show his skills.

Settle down and prepare to defend Harden, this guy's physical fitness is really awesome, the very good part of the first-class explosive speed, although the explosiveness and explosive speed are not top-notch, but it is definitely one of the best in the first-class, and the body is strong, the confrontation is good, the most important thing is the ball sense, Sun Ce feels that he underestimates Harden's ball sense too much, mainly because Harden will abandon these things in the future, and only play three points back in the playoffs, and Sun Ce will only watch the playoffs most of the time when he comes to watch the game in the original time and space.

Seeing Harden advancing over, Sun Ce noticed Nate Robinson, who was standing strangely just now, and found that Nate Robinson was running slower than Harden, who was advancing with the ball, hanging behind.

When Nate Robinson attacks, if he doesn't hold the ball, he often follows up slowly, although he is short, but his speed is not top-notch, the weaker one in the A+ level, slightly inferior to Harden, his physical strength is super jumping, so it is difficult for him to really open up space in the regular position, too close to the three-point line The opponent is easy to fill in place, he can only wander over a long distance, creating opportunities for his defenders to make up for defense, and creating shooting space for himself.

This is Nate Robinson's style of play when he is without the ball, but Nate Robinson has trained himself too strong, affecting his speed and often getting injured, Sun Ce rarely has the opportunity to play against Nate Robinson as a role player.

Harden got to the front court and suppressed the mood of the confrontation with Sun Ce, and passed the ball to Nate Robinson, who dragged behind without the ball to open up space as much as possible.

Sometimes selflessness doesn't mean it's a good thing, Nate Robinson plays extremely emotionally, saying that the West Coast Blacksmiths scored a goal and the second offense must be his shot, Nate Robinson is the same, receiving the ball and taking a big step across the three-point line, regardless of Morrow who defended this time, Nate Robinson pulled up three points and then shot......

This time Morrow pounced, and when Nate Robinson shot, the ball was almost raised to the back of his head, and he made a step-back jumper to avoid the defense......

"Bang ......"

Nate Robinson's strength was so speechless that the ball bounced off the neck of the basket like a cannonball.

Durant squeezed in and wanted to rush, Yi Jianlian, who was in the same class, fiercely blocked in front of Durant, Sun Ce easily collected the rebound and counterattacked!

Sun Ce's counterattack in the last round even the Thunder players felt amazing, Sun Ce was caught by Durant and Harden when he rushed to the three-point line, one left and one right and the two King Kongs did not want to be changed by Sun Ce, they didn't know that Sun Ce only had an extra bonus within the free throw line, Sun Ce threw the ball to the right side of the basket...... This time it's Jordan Jr.!

Yi Jianlian stuck in the position, Jordan Jr. followed up and cut into the inside line to jump, received the ball in the air and floated to the basket, and gently smashed the ball into the basket.

Little Jordan's empty catch, as a teammate, Sun Ce never gets tired of watching, not as fierce and flat as Griffin, not as strong and powerful as Howard, and not as earth-shattering as Stoudemire, Little Jordan is characterized by stretching to the extreme!

Maybe little Jordan has done his best to jump, but it always gives people the feeling that he still has energy to spare, and it is really a pleasure to watch.

37-37, the Grizzlies are tied!

It's time for the Thunder to attack again, Durant himself went to pick up the ball and send it to Harden, and after sending it to Harden, Durant yelled: "You're the sixth man, you come by yourself, if you can't deal with that bastard, leave it to me." ”

Harden was yelled at so innocently, and he co-authored selflessly and did something wrong.

But Harden regretted the ball just now, Nate Robinson is not the kind of player with scoring continuity, and the style of play is emotional, and he doesn't care about it when he feels like it, and he really shouldn't pass it to him right away if he throws a goal, and he can guess that he will definitely throw it.

It's just that now that he was yelled at, after Harden was sad for a while, he advanced to the front court and saw Sun Ce, and immediately became excited.

This was ordered by the eldest brother, and the eldest brother asked him to fight Sun Ce alone!

Durant can contain space, Muhammad has a baseline catch-and-shoot jumper with one hand to eat, Kerr Aldridge has the ability to catch the ball and play high around the three-second zone, and Nate Robinson throws these two, which also forced Morrow to defend outside the three-point line, and Harden really has a good one-on-one opportunity.

Harden starts to break through!

Sun Ce was ready this time, and sure enough, Harden took a step to the left, and used a very good rhythm to change direction and rush into the middle, Sun Ce predicted it in advance and went up towards Harden, but Harden had already occupied half of the position and continued to break through, when Sun Ce pressed up, he couldn't block it and was pushed away!

Cole Aldridge's ability is not good, but he has a good brain, a white center produced by the University of Kansas, the best player in the NCAA last season, and was called "American white center hope" in the draft.

Sun Ce was pushed by Harden and did not block Harden, but did not give up, sticking to Harden and retreating to the basket, Harden stepped on the left-handed lever of the sideline of the reasonable collision zone and threw it......

Harden felt that his speed, explosiveness, ball sense, and left-handedness were enough, and he shot decisively, but!

Before the ball thrown by Harden reached the highest point, it was slapped out from behind by Sun Ce!

The fans at the scene saw that Sun Ce finally got the first block of the day and began to cheer loudly.

Sun Ce's height and arm span advantage, and his sudden faster bullet speed made Harden a little dizzy!

The eldest brother who just started Xiao Dengden was just gone, and the second brother who was just a little Dengden in the first quarter was just half a pound and eight taels, and he still relied on the team to complete it.

However, Harden is indeed a dish now, and he is as fierce as a tiger, but there is no change at all at the end of the end, Sun Ce gambled on a quick jump with the bullet speed bonus of Olajuwon's strap, and fanned a solid knot when the bullet speed was slightly stronger than Harden.

Thunder head coach Brooks yelled on the sidelines again, and Harden ignored it, which was arranged by the boss.

Sun Ce hat Harden, in the eyes of others is normal, Harden just now if he pulls the lever, at least he will not be capped, but if he really has that ability, Harden's basket shooting rate will not be so miserable, Harden's three-second shooting rate in his rookie season is 48 percent, ranking last among all players in the league, and now it has improved a little, but it is still poor overall.

This offense was capped, Harden's confidence was frustrated, and now Harden, who has no one to teach him to block and dismantle, and whose skills are far from his prime, is really not easy to play in the face of Sun Ce, and finally thought of a way to break through, and when he got to the inside, he felt that his head was covered.

The Thunder baseline ball, Harden looked at the big brother after receiving the serve.

Durant was speechless, this kid is too unenterprising, he was hated and back! It's just the regular season, and in the face of the same big guy, Durant estimates that Westbrook will be so angry that he will slap the third brother when he plays with him, and he Du Boss has to pull to prevent the second brother from beating the third brother.

Durant didn't pay attention to Harden's prayers, Harden could only come by himself, there were basically no outside shooting opportunities, Harden felt enough to step back, his current stepback step is decent, and he doesn't have that small step privilege, so he can only continue to break through!

This time, Harden consciously pulled the lever and dodged Sun Ce's block, but ...... If Harden has the ability to pull the rod, he will definitely pull the rod in the last round, the key is no! He is still in the growth period, and his all-round development of skills in all aspects has laid the foundation for him to become a superstar in the future, but laying a foundation means that he can do everything at all but is not proficient in anything.

Harden's pull-up layup!

Sun Ce went back to the right side to block Cole Aldridge and grabbed the defensive rebound, and was about to counterattack, but was hugged by Cole Aldridge, and Cole Aldridge was fouled by a tactical foul.

There were not many fouls, and there were very few fouls in today's game, which was the first foul of the second quarter for both teams.

Sun Ce received the bottom line ball sent by Moro after the referee sent it to Morrow, slowly advanced, and it was not easy to fight when he fell into the positional battle, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, the time was still long, and he would get up if he had the opportunity to counterattack, and forget it if he didn't.

The rhythm of the two teams finally slowed down, and Sun Ce quickly analyzed the opponent's style of play when he advanced, feeling that there was really no offensive tactics on the other side, and he was purely relying on the personal ability of a few young cores to play......

Their Grizzlies have an advantage in the rotation! Coach Hollins was right to emphasize in the pre-game tactical session that you shouldn't fall too far behind in the starting stages.

Coach Hollins still hasn't made much progress on the spot, this is a talent that can't be learned, but the overall situation is coordinated, and Coach Hollins' vision is getting better and better.

Sun Ce advanced to the front court, and began to accelerate after the middle circle, not wanting to be stuck by Durant, Durant's lateral movement was very good, but he was blocked by Yi Jianlian who pulled out!

Sun Ce went straight to the inside line, burst to the bottom line on the right side, and was blocked by Muhammad, Durant also pounced on Sun Ce, Sun Ce divided the ball Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian shot...... Didn't hit, but Jordan Jr. grabbed the offensive rebound!

Cole Aldridge didn't hold the rebound, but the position was actually good, he didn't give Jordan Jr. a chance to dunk directly, and he also stuck the space for Jordan Jr. to get back up, Jordan Jr. held the ball and quickly passed it to Yi Jianlian on the right side of the three-second zone, Yi Jianlian took a step, at this time Muhammad blocked back, Sun Ce took the opportunity to get rid of the pinch, ran out towards the line, Yi Jianlian learned from Little Jordan, put the ball behind his head, and went up to block Durant......

Sun Ce was pleasantly surprised to receive the ball, the gun rack became Yi Jianlian, and Sun Ce shot from a middle distance......

It's in again!

22 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block!

Sun Ce entered, and Durant instructed Harden to continue with Sun Ce and rest for a while.

Originally, Sun Ce played the whole first quarter, if Harden faced Conley, not to mention how much advantage he had, at least he would not suffer too much, Harden still had a huge advantage in size, and under offset, the two of them might lead the team with similar results.

But Sun Ce had a physical energy potion to use today, and he was not tired in the first quarter, he was all throwing, and he went all out in the second quarter, fighting for his life.

But there are always times when you can't prevent it, this time Harden threw a skyrocketing shot, singled Sun Ce for three rounds in a row, and made 4 shots, and finally scored one.

Harden himself feels that he is not easy!

Moreover, as soon as Harden scored, Jordan Jr. went to pick up the ball, and the Grizzlies fought back again, this time without missing, Morrow's follow-up three-point hit, and Sun Ce's fourth assist.

Harden really wants to defend well, it doesn't matter if the opponent scores or not, at least he can slow down, he can attack later, the opponent's offense is so fast, even if he doesn't score, he feels a headache, the key is that the opponent still scores.

Sun Ce felt the advantage after entering the rotation lineup, and had the full impact of hanging on his hand and sparing his physical strength; Harden, for his part, is also feeling that his rotation has weakened.

Changing back to Perkins has indeed significantly improved their overall strength, but their lineup has become weaker in the rotation stage, because the replacement of Perkins used Jeff Green, the original sixth man, and Harden has reached the sixth man, and now he is not as good as the current Jeff Green.

Especially in the previous rotation stage, the interior line was Jeff Green and Muhammad, a very strong rotation inside, and he would not lose to the Grizzlies' duo, but now, the aging Muhammad is forced to play power forward, and Kerr Aldridge is another ......

Harden looked at his big brother's encouraging eyes...... I can only continue to fight! Looking at Sun Ce, who was obviously already hilarious on the other side, Harden felt a sense of despair...... I'm going to be played with by the other side...... No, it's already been played!
