On October 22, 2018, the Los Angeles Clippers continued to sit at the Staples Center arena to host the Houston Rockets.

Just yesterday, the bearded Harden led the Rockets to victory over another team in Los Angeles - LeBron? The Purple and Gold led by James.

Today the Rockets will continue to play the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center Arena on the road!

The biggest attraction of this game is rookie guard Li Yang vs first quarterback James? Harden!!

And the peak matchup between Li Yang and Harden has attracted even more attention than the five-star Warriors' game against the Denver Nuggets.

This game can definitely be called today's focus battle, and such a focus battle will surely be watched and exciting.

According to the NBA's front-line beauty reporter Zhang Manyuan, the domestic attention of this game between the Clippers and Rockets will definitely not be much lower than that of the Golden State Warriors vs. the Denver Nuggets.

Players from both sides begin to enter the pitch from the players' tunnel.

When Harden was introduced, the audience suddenly resounded with deafening cheers that were not weaker than Li Yang, and it can be seen that the bearded man's MVP-level performance last season has conquered most of the local fans in Los Angeles.

Li Yang looked up at the 16 championship flags belonging to the Lakers fluttering above the Staples Center Arena, and his eyes showed mixed emotions, both envious and depressed, and there was always a feeling of being someone else's child under the fence.

The match attracted a lot of attention, with both Tencent Sports and TNT broadcasting the match live.

In the front row of the audience and in the VIP seats, there are many Hollywood stars and popular fried chicken.

Li Yang and Harden have been on the air since they started to warm up.

After the warm-up, Harden took the initiative to come over to Li Yang to hug.

"Yang, we finally met, I watched your game against the Thunder, you played very well, that three-point shot is beautiful!!"

"However, I will not show mercy tonight, and I will defend you with all my might!!"

"If you can pass my ultimate test, I will invite you to join me and Chris in forming the Big Three "Foreign Bulbs" combination, are you very interested, maybe we can build a new dynasty. ”

After Harden finished speaking, Tsundere turned around and returned to the Rockets bench, without giving Li Yang the slightest chance to answer.

Li Yang looked at Harden, who pretended to be forced like the wind, turned his head and left, and suddenly felt in his heart that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses rushing by, and he was speechless for a long time: "This is ...... I'm leaving, I haven't refused yet, it's too perfunctory!! ”

After the head coaches of both sides laid out the final tactics, the starting five of the Rockets and Clippers walked to the center of the court.

Harden's eyes widened, staring at his prey like a cheetah.

Sure enough, there is no void under the fame, and he goes all out to give Li Yang a very powerful aura, which comes from the intuition between the masters.

"In this game, Harden will definitely let Li Yang know the gap between the league's No. 1 quarterback and the rookie guard!"

"Li Yang was targeted by these superstars as soon as he entered the alliance, and if he was abused by blood, it is estimated that he will leave a shadow in his heart, which will be detrimental to his growth."

In the audience, Drexler, the famous glider of the Rockets who came to watch the game, had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and he liked to watch Harden teach newcomers a lesson.

"Hello viewers and friends, welcome to watch the Los Angeles Clippers' home game against the Houston Rockets broadcast by Tencent Sports."

"I'm Yang Yi, the commentator of this game, before the game starts, let's take a look at the starting battle list of the two sides today through the big screen."

Commentator Yang Yi skillfully began his explanation today.

The Rockets' starting five: center Clint Capela, power forward James? Ennis, small forward P.J. Tucker, shooting guard James Brown, James? Harden, point guard Erik? Gordon.

The Clippers are still familiar with the starting lineup: center Polish Hammer Gortat, power forward Gallinari, small forward Harris, shooting guard Li Yang, and point guard Beverley.

……

"Toot toot!"

The referee throws the basketball into the air.

A jump ball between Capela and Gortat.

As soon as the whistle blew, Capela kicked his feet and leaped up like a spring, using his excellent bounce speed and bounce power to beat Gortat and pick up the first wave of offensive possession for the Rockets.

In this game, Harden did not dribble as usual.

After Capela successfully jumped the ball, the ball was dialed into the hands of Roundface Deng.

In the face of the deafening boos of the Los Angeles Clippers home fans, the round face did not change his face and held the ball and pushed it to the halfcourt.

The round-faced den didn't stay too long outside the three-point line, stepped on the Hot Wheels, and went straight into the restricted area.

Harris quickly moved sideways to block the Roundface Den's advancement, and the Roundface Deng's speed did not decrease, and immediately took a European step, flashed and moved, bypassed Harris, and scored the ball with a backhand layup.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead on the road.

The Clippers' offense.

Beverley slowly pushed through the half from the back.

According to Rivers' tactical arrangement before the game, Beverley, who advanced to the front court with the ball, his first choice was to hand the ball to Li Yang to organize.

In this game, Rivers' tactical strategy is one, try to hand over the ball to Li Yang as much as possible, and look for opportunities through Li Yang's organized offense, or assist teammates to score.

If he can't find an opportunity to pass the ball to Lai, then Beverley gives it to Harris to basket it for a single.

In the first few games, Li Yang ran without the ball and did not encounter the defensive pressure of strong defenders, and he could basically get rid of them easily, and now he has not been able to get rid of them for a while in the face of last season's MVP's all-out pursuit.

When Harden doesn't use his eyes to defend, his defensive ability is still very Ollie!!

After the opening, Harden, who was supposed to completely lock up Li Yang on the defensive end, soon found that the situation seemed to be a little bad!!

Li Yang's off-ball running is very rhythmic, quickly shuttling between the players on the field.

Li Yang didn't open the game and threw Harden away with all his might, because as long as he could get rid of a position, he could complete the offense.

Li Yang took advantage of Gortat's delay in blocking and temporarily got rid of Harden's defense.

Beverly understood and quickly passed to Li Yang.

The ball passed in front of Li Yang, but he didn't stick to the ball, reached out and pushed hard, changed the flight path of the ball again, and flew straight into the hands of the anti-aircraft gun Gallinari, who had been ambushed for a long time in the bottom corner.

After receiving the ball, Gallinari did not hesitate to pull up and shoot, which was the most accurate of his several points outside the three-point line.

The basketball makes a perfect arc through the air.

"Whew!!"

A crisp brush sound sounded immediately!

The score became 2:3.

When Li Yang retreated, he didn't forget to tease Harden.

"James, that's what you call pressing defense?? It's better than eye defense!! ”

"Looks like you still haven't learned the real tight defense from Kohler!!" After Li Yang finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Harden to react.

Harden clenched his fists, pushing so hard that his joints turned white.

He looked at Li Yang, who was oiled on the soles of his feet, with a pale face, and said viciously: "Rookie, you completely angered me!" ”

"Li Yang provoked the bearded man like this at the beginning, is this really good? I think his approach seems a little irrational! ”

"Maybe he has something special in mind!!"

In the live broadcast room of Tencent Sports, Teacher Su Qun and Yang Yi expressed their opinions on Li Yang's ridicule of Harden on the court.

Of course, Harden is very unhappy now, and he really wants to catch Li Yang and beat him, who called him so skinny!

Looking at Harden, who was enraged by Li Yang on the court, the commentator Kenny on the sidelines? Smith couldn't help but mourn in silence for Li Yang's death.

A rookie who has just entered the league dares to provoke the MVP of last season's regular season?

It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!

Li Yang provoked Harden not for anything else, but for only one purpose.

It is to make Harden angry and lose his sober mind, let him play unlimited singles, and do not pass the ball to the team, which is the so-called "Jordan's Rule".

This is a key part of whether the Clippers can win this game!

Round-faced Deng dribbled across the half court to the top of the arc, and Harden was battling with Li Yang to run without the ball.

The more Harden runs, the more he feels wrong, because no matter how he runs, he can't shake off Li Yang's defense!

And Harden's way of playing is that there is no running without the ball, basically holding the ball and shooting three-pointers, and each ball is an extreme operation!

Coming back to his senses, Harden forcibly received the ball with his back directly outside the three-point line and singled Li Yang one-on-one.

Catch the ball, turn around, bow your head, raise your hand in the big loop, and make a foul shot, which is the standard shooting posture of touching the ball.

", is this going to touch porcelain, I'm flashing ......"

Li Yang's body leaned back as much as possible, and at the last moment, he narrowly avoided the opponent's porcelain touching skills.

"Bang Bang"!

Harden angrily brushed a piece of iron!

Harden didn't succeed in touching porcelain?!

Is Li Yang's vigilance so strong?!

Gortat grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Beverley.

Switching offense and defense, Li Yang got rid of Harden's pursuit and defense this offense, took a step on the spot after receiving the ball outside the three-point line, and directly stepped back to shoot a jumper, which has the charm of Harden's step-back shooting, which is just as picturesque.

"Whew!!"

Basketball hollow in!

The score became 2:5.

The Rockets are attacking, and Harden is stubbornly responding!

"Bang Bang"!

Two Yanghua two iron!

Turning around, Li Yang received the ball and smashed it to Gortat, who was in a good position on the inside, and Gortat picked up the ball and exploded and dunked.

The score became 2:7.

Something was wrong with the start and D'Antoni called a timeout.

In the audience, Clippers fans who previously thought it was going to be a tough game can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Harden is not without weaknesses, and now it seems that the hard bone of the Rockets is not as difficult to gnaw as imagined!

On the way back to the bench, Li Yang had a rough judgment of Harden's state in this game.

My skills in the NBA are a bit too much
