Chapter 336: Touching Porcelain Deng (9/10, Little White with a Dark Heart and Ten Thousand Rewards)
Asik jumped to beat Split and gave the Rockets a chance to take the lead.
Jeremy Lin held the ball past half court and then gave it to Harden.
Before the regular season officially began, the Rockets signed Jeremy Lin to a poison contract with the idea of making him the centerpiece of the team's backcourt.
But with the windfall of Harden, Jeremy Lin can now only play a role player.
Harden signaled for tactical coordination and gave Parsons to the bottom corner after the breakaway, but Parsons' shot was deflected.
The Spurs' hammer play in the frontcourt matched, and Parker's top layup dodged Asik's shot.
Back to Harden's burst to high post Patterson.
Patterson's mid-range jumper was slow and was interfered with by Duncan and missed.
Split's rebound, the Spurs played a fast break, and Parker gave Leonard, who was close behind, and the latter made a layup.
Harden's frontcourt and Asik's pick-and-roll combined second pass, but Asik's butter hand missed.
The Spurs matched the hammer tactics in the frontcourt, and Duncan's basket shot also scored.
The game played three minutes and the score was 6-0.
"Well, the Spurs are a bit strong right now." Barkley sighed in the commentary booth.
The Spurs are 10-0 and the Rockets are 3-7, and the difference in strength between the two teams is still there.
"Now it's up to Harden to respond." Kenny Smith continued.
Whether Jeremy Lin or Asik, they can only be regarded as very good players, and they are still far from being All-Stars.
But Harden's performance this season is an All-Star level, and the Rockets can only rely on him to break the deadlock.
Sure enough, when Harden held the ball to the frontcourt again, he had already signaled his teammates to pull away, and then let Asikti block and dismantle.
This is an obvious signal to attack on its own.
Asik played off the bench with the Bulls, but that's because the starter was Noah, and although he was a bit buttery, he wasn't bad.
The timing and scope of this pick-and-roll quality are very good.
However, Green has improved a lot this season, successfully getting around before Asik can block it.
Popovich nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines.
If Green can do what Tang Tian can do on the defensive end, then what Holt said is actionable.
The blocking and dismantling was unsuccessful, Harden did not stop, and directly chose to force Green.
Green's defense was on point.
If it weren't for Tang Tian, he would have the strength to play a starting point guard in the Spurs.
"Toot!"
However, Green's jumping defense under the basket was whistled for a foul by the referee.
Green jumped the ball when he heard the whistle and turned to the referee to explain that he didn't hit Harden.
The referee was unmoved.
Instead of getting angry, Popovich lowered his head and reached out to rub his forehead.
Also a young player, although Green has improved a lot from last season, he is much worse than Tang Tianzhen in terms of experience.
There is a professional name in basketball called cylinders.
Most people only know about shooting cylinders, but in fact, a player has his own cylinder when he stands on the court.
The size is an imaginary cylindrical space that is determined by the palms of the hands, the hips at the back, and the arms and feet on both sides.
So in addition to the extra physical contact that will be whistled by the referee for a foul, there is also a foul caused by violating the cylinder.
According to the rules, when a defender leaves his cylinder and makes contact with a player who has already established the cylinder, the defender is whistled for a defensive foul.
Just now, Harden broke through to the basket and had a stop-and-go action, although Green's block did not hit his hand, but there was contact with his body at the bottom, which had violated Harden's cylinder, so he was whistled for a foul.
This is different from Tang Tian being fouled by Martin at the beginning, Martin took the initiative to come up, and Green went up by himself.
Harden goes to the free-throw line.
Hit both free throws.
Harden opened the scoring for the Rockets.
Parker's layup in the frontcourt, this time Asik did not move, stood under the basket and gave pressure to successfully prevent a ball.
Harden went to the frontcourt and continued to hold the ball to signal the pull.
It's still the blocking and dismantling on Asikti.
Green still walked around.
But this time, Harden made a sudden move in advance, and at the moment when Green stepped back, he made a signature step-back three-point shot.
Green is a little out of tune.
"Huh!"
Harden's three-point hollow net.
"James~~ Harden!!"
Accompanied by the shouts of the live DJ elongating the pitch, the Toyota Center was immersed in a boiling sound.
Scored 5 points in 1 minute, and tonight is Harden's night again!
The Spurs' AI hammer tactics in the frontcourt, Green got a completely empty opportunity in the bottom corner, and Parker's sudden pass was also given as soon as possible.
"Bang!"
However, Green missed an open three-pointer.
The back-to-back defeats on the defensive end made him fluctuate in his mentality.
For pitchers, the impact of even the slightest fluctuation on the shooting percentage is obvious.
Popovich was a little helpless at this time.
That kind of opportunity, Tang Tian's words, appeared ten times, and he could throw ten.
The Rockets' possession of the ball, Harden continued to attack with the ball in the frontcourt.
This time Green didn't get around Asik's pick-and-roll.
Harden misplaced against Split, and after an accelerated breakaway forced Duncan to help defend, he hit Patterson who hit the ground to the baseline.
Patterson hit a mid-range jumper from the baseline.
7 to 6.
Harden led the team to play a wave of counterattacks and directly overtook the score.
"Oh, this is James Harden this season!" Barkley shouted from the commentary box.
"If I were Presti, I would definitely not choose to turn on the TV at this time, it's really cruel."
O'Neal hacked the Thunder management at the right time at this time.
"Danny Green is good enough, but he can't guard Harden." Kenny Smith is stating a fact.
At this time, Tang Tian was also given a shot on the sidelines.
But Popovich had no intention of making a substitution.
At this time, let Tang Tian go to the rescue, Holt will definitely have to talk to him when he turns around.
Duncan's frontcourt shot was interfered with by Patterson and didn't score, and Asik grabbed the defensive rebound.
“Let',Rockets!”
The live DJ began to cheer the fans on.
Team Rocket is going to get on the ground.
Popovich was on the sidelines.
The old man looked unhappy, and the defensive intensity of the Spurs on the court also increased a lot.
The Rockets had no chance to cooperate continuously, and with less than 10 seconds left, Harden held the ball and motioned for everyone to pull away and chose to single Green.
Continuous cross-stepping, but Green wasn't shaken off.
Green's improvement this season has been really noticeable.
The offense was only 4 seconds away, and Harden opted to step back for a three-pointer.
Green successfully predicted and saved the block.
Harden waited for a moment until Green got into his cylinder, jumped up and leaned in, and then shot a three-pointer.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle blows on the sidelines, and Green commits his second personal foul in the first quarter!
"Huh!"
The ball went in after the referee's whistle!
3+1!
