Harden, who performed well in the first three games, was in trouble in Memphis.

4-0, dunked twice by the opponent, this start couldn't have been worse for the Rockets.

Of course, the Rockets are far from finished, and James Harden has only hit one shot. Rockets fans are still expecting Harden to continue to explode and continue his incredible performances.

But Iguodala, with a blushing face, refused to let this happen.

The second offense of the Rockets was Iguodala vs. Harden. Link has very little pressure defensively, which allows him to focus more energy and energy on the offensive end.

Parsons? He's good, but now he's only a sophomore, and the threat isn't that scary.

The Rockets' tactics this time were a little more complicated, and Harden received a pass from Jeremy Lin and someone immediately came out to block it. The man who built the wall for Harden was third-year forward Patrick Patterson. As the last lottery show of 2010, Patterson has been tepid so far, but playing a normal rotation is not a big problem.

Patterson, who is 2.06 meters tall and plays the No. 4 position, is most characterized by his Cheng.

Not only can he shoot from the field, but he has also developed a three-point shot this season.

So, after blocking Harden, Patterson bounced directly outside the three-point line. This kind of outside-style pick-and-roll is the most difficult to defend, and the interior player is no one.

With the guard, the three-point line should be empty. With the three-point line, the guard with the ball can break through again.

But this dilemma did not come to Randolph, because Iguodala got out of cover almost immediately! Randolph doesn't care about Harden at all, Iguodala takes care of him!

"Damn!" Harden knew he was hitting a hard stubble today. Since Iguodala was in the East before, he couldn't meet the Thunder a few times a season. As a result, Harden's knowledge of Iguodala isn't as intuitive.

Well, now that Harden has a first-hand grasp of what it means to defend without face.

Harden forced a layup, but Iguodala didn't put pressure on the beard for show. In a clean move, Iguodala bī) Harden misses a layup!

"For the second time in a row, it looks like Harden is in trouble. Iguodala is fully committed to defense, and Harden doesn't get the slightest chance! ”

McHale panicked, he knew that the Grizzlies' defense was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong!

Harden looks helpless right now, not at all like he was in the first three games.

Gasol Jr. laughed at the rebound, and the Grizzlies fought back again!

This time, Conley steadied his rhythm and didn't play fast. But if you think the Rockets are good at positional defense, you're wrong.

Needless to say, Harden is notoriously defensive with his eyes. Jeremy Lin is limited by his own physical condition, and the defense can only do not lag behind at most.

Patterson and Asik, one short and the other soft, are not rim guards.

Parsons, the only one in the entire Rockets team, is not top-notch.

In the face of Link's empty-handed cut, Parsons felt that his height was completely useless.

Link's escape was subtle, and the off-ball screens the rest of the Grizzlies set up for him were just right.

In this round, when Link pocketed to the bottom right corner to receive the ball, Parsons had already been thrown two places!

Link was not modest and took the ball and threw it. Parsons just dropped the jump block because he knew it wasn't going to help.

Now, the only thing he can do is pray that Link misses the ball.

However, Link, whose shooting was frighteningly consistent, didn't get Parsons.

Basketball three-pointer into the net, 7-0, Houston Rockets have no power to resist!

"Link has scored five points, and Harden hasn't opened yet. We're all looking forward to the battle between Harden and Link, but for now, it seems to have become a one-man show for Link. ”

"Three points, one three!" McHale was in a hurry, he put his hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted at the players.

One of the characteristics of McHale's tactics is that he takes a lot of three-point shots. Harden's three-point shooting has soared from 47 last season to 62.

Three-point shooting and fast offense are becoming more popular in the league these days, and McHale is following suit.

In the first three games, Harden made a good three-point shot. But most of them are shots that are open or shaken out of space.

Today, however, Harden couldn't find a three-point shot at all.

Harden and Parsons are the Rockets' two main three-point shots. But now, they are both locked up!

The Rockets' tactics were not played until the 24-second offensive time was about to run out.

In desperation, Jeremy Lin had to borrow a simple block and shoot directly after three points!

For Jeremy Lin, this is a bit of a strongman's struggle.

"Bang!"

McHale covered his forehead, but still didn't enter! He feels like he's become a soccer coach, why is it so hard to score a goal!?

What's even worse is that the grizzly bear's firepower doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping.

This time, Gasso Jr. got the basketball from mid-range, and Asik had to follow. The Rockets lost their only high point under the basket, and Stevens laughed, the tactics were half the battle!

At the same time, Link suddenly leaned on Parsons to hold the position and wanted to single in the low post!

Gasol Jr. did not hesitate and gently hoisted the ball in. The Great White Bear's superb ability to respond allows him not to make any mistakes in this link.

An inside to outside hang, Link was able to go head-to-head with Parsons in the low post without the interference of the Rockets center!

Parsons is 2.08m, but don't forget, Link's biggest enemy, Durant, is 2.11m!

Fighting against a striker who is taller than himself has long been Link's survival instinct.

Link probed Parsons with his back and found that Parsons was leaning forward, ready to fend off his own push and flip jumper. So Link skillfully turned his back and passed Parsons!

"It's so mature! His back attack doesn't look like a young player! ”

Parsons was unwilling to give up and pulled Link as he prepared to make a layup. But it's so good that it doesn't die and pulls it too hard

In terms of experience, Parsons is still lacking. Link hit a layup while the referee's whistle blew for a three-point opportunity!

"It's the kind of foul that doesn't make the most sense, either you just have to be tough and don't let the opponent score, or you just don't do it. Letting the opponent score and sending someone to the free throw line is simply "

Watching Link score another goal with ease, McHale found that the Chinese forward, who seemed to be less explosive than Harden, did not encounter any pressure at all today.

In other words, the Rockets' defense is like a piece of paper to him. A slight poke will make a hole out.

When he wanted to score, there was nothing the Rockets could do.

McHale swallowed, and on the court, Link hit the penalty steadily.

10 to 0! The rocket was forced to pause!

McHale hurriedly looked up at the big screen at the scene, Harden and Link now have a score ratio of 0 to 8, and Harden is completely defeated!

8 points, Link has already scored 8 points! You know, you didn't even hit half of the game in the first quarter!

On the other hand, Stevens also discovered this problem. Link was in good form on offense today because he didn't have to think about anything but attack. Moreover, even if you don't have to cooperate too complicatedly, you can easily score points based on your individual ability.

So, Stevens temporarily changed his attention. When players are in great form, they can't be wasted.

He didn't care about taking the small bench, but knelt directly on one knee and squatted in front of Link, who was wiping his sweat, "Today's offensive state is good." ”

"The Rockets' defense is too loose." Link shrugged.

"Listen Link, today, let's show Harden what real scoring explosiveness is."

Stevens decided that he had to let Link have a good time playing today. In this state, it would be a pity to waste.

The young marshal lifted the last shackles from Link, and the beast was released.
