James. Harden's mind is now full of Link's numbers, which will ring in Harden's ears all the time, reminding Harden at all times of how huge the gap between him and Link is.

McHale was spitting and drawing the tactical board, but Harden felt like he couldn't listen to a word, and his mind was full of 6-2, 6-2.

"Slow down! Let's be slower and be patient. Don't be in a hurry, you have to hit the success rate! "McHale's setup is equivalent to a slap in the face, after all, he was the one who made the players play fast at the beginning, and now he is the one who makes the players play slow.

I have to say that McHale's on-the-spot scheduling ability is really bad. In the case that the lineup is not as good as the opponent, the head coach can't think of a solution, which is undoubtedly very fatal.

On the other side, the Grizzlies players relaxed a lot. In the opening few rounds, they didn't let the Rockets take advantage of anything. Link's several wonderful good shots made the Rockets' morale even more invigorating.

Randolph was in a good mood, and dealing with an undrafted pick was a breeze for him. So, the big black bear poked Link with his elbow while resting, "Hey, what did you just mumble to that kid Harden?" ”

Link wiped his sweat, his expression still serious, "It's nothing, I just want to make every loss of his score unforgettable." ”

With that, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Randolph looked at Harden in the other half and sighed. Hell, Harden has nowhere to run today.

Harden doesn't believe that he can't even score a sport goal in front of Link, and he is also a person who averages 25 points per game, how can he say that he is prevented from death?

Harden has thought about it, and when he surpasses Link in his personal score, he will also go to Link's ear to report the count!

Link didn't let up because he led by 11 points in the first half, and when the Rockets came with the ball, Link was the most serious defender of all.

He lowered his center of gravity, bent his knees, and focused his eyes, just seeing such a guy standing in front of him would make the attacker lose half of his confidence.

The rocket really slowed down, not rampage like it had just been. Harden is not in a hurry, and he is playing with Link one by one.

Finally, under Asik's off-ball cover, Harden flashed a glimmer of space to catch the ball. Jeremy Lin saw the opportunity and hit the ball from beyond the three-point line to Harden, who cut into the box.

Link struggled to chase the defense, but Harden was very clever enough to switch hands in the air, avoid the block, and score on a layup!

The players on the Rockets bench were overjoyed that Harden finally had an athletic goal on Link. And this is also the Rockets' first sports goal of the day.

Looking at the Rockets' stance, those who don't know think that they are in the lead now.

Harden's confidence has soared, and he can really score! As long as you don't go toe-to-toe with Link, it's not hard to score.

Harden gave Link a smug look, and now the gap between them is only 2 points. After scoring two more goals, Harden assured that his voice would reach Link's ears as soon as possible!

Link certainly saw Harden's smug expression, but he wasn't angry, and even wanted to laugh.

Death is on the verge of death, and he is still triumphant.

After that, Link didn't shoot, and the Grizzlies didn't score. The Rockets had a chance to close the gap even further, and Harden rushed to the front, and he couldn't wait to tie the score between himself and Link at 6-6!

The layup just now made Harden completely confident. You may be late for the score, but you won't be absent! Now, Harden is going to fill in the void left by the previous six minutes!

Harden received a pass from Jeremy Lin and quickly ran to the right beyond the three-point line. The bearded man lifted the basketball above his head and intended to fly Link with a fake shot. But Link was unmoved, not jumping at all! Just conscientiously sticking in front of Harden.

Seeing that the opportunity to counterattack was about to be gone, Harden was anxious to hold the ball directly and go inside.

But Link used his strong body to block Harden all the time, and Harden couldn't kill it at all!

There was no way, Harden had to return the ball to Jeremy Lin and let him reorganize the positional offense.

Harden thought he would be able to catch his breath by passing the ball, but he proved to be naïve. Even without the ball, Link didn't make it easy for Harden.

He continued to press, as if the two could kiss face to face. Wherever Harden goes, Link will relentlessly chase and press.

That's the intensity of the playoffs!

Now, Harden couldn't be complacent. In the first 6 minutes, Link didn't do his best to defend at all! Now, it's the state of Link when he defends with all his might!

Harden is seen dead, and Jeremy Lin is not the type of player who likes to take risks. If he is not sure of the ball, he basically does not pass.

There was no way, Jeremy Lin finally had to call a pick-and-roll, and then he hurriedly stopped and threw a jumper. But alas, Conley didn't let Jeremy Lin get his wish. The Rockets' offense had just seen hope when it was wiped out by a slap from the Grizzlies.

Before Harden could react to what was happening, Link walked past him and headed straight for the frontcourt.

The Rockets wanted to play slow, but the Grizzlies deliberately pulled the pace fast. The Grizzlies knew that the Rockets' retreat was untimely and terrible. Therefore, basically only the black and white bears are left to protect the rebounds, and the others are sprinting with all their might!

Harden's ambitions were shattered in just one round, and it looked like he was only two points off Link. But if Harden wants to tie these 2 points, it will be very difficult.

Link cut inside empty-handed, and when Harden caught up, he suddenly ran back, and shook off the mustache that was not good at defense.

Conley saw the time and pushed the ball out with one hand, and Link caught the ball and threw it!

Although the Rockets rank second in the league in the league in averaging 106 points per game in the regular season, the Grizzlies' offense is much more fluid.

Harden didn't even bother to raise his hand to interfere this time, because he knew that giving Link so much space would be useless to interfere.

Link's mid-range shot was still easy, and the Rockets still didn't have any resistance.

Randolph shook his head, Link had already scored 8 points in a single quarter. It seems that today, it will be another high-scoring night for Link.

It's only the first game of the playoffs, can you use it so hard?

In the rest of the game, the Rockets didn't make any waves. The Grizzlies are firmly in control of the tempo, and the margin has been hovering around 15 points.

Link continued to score goals, and Harden's defense was almost non-existent for Link.

McHale even tried to use the "Mad Dog" Patrick. Beverley comes to defend Link, but Link is even crazier than Beverley. Beverley is always only 1.85 meters tall, and once Link starts back-playing, "Mad Dog" will have to turn into a husky.

In the end, McHale accepted the fact that the Rockets simply couldn't find a player who could defend Link!

The point difference is getting wider and wider, and in Harden's ears, Link's numbers are getting more and more outrageous.

10 to 4.

15 to 5.

20 to 5.

32 to 7.....

It wasn't until the ninth minute of the fourth quarter that Link held the ball again. Harden was completely stupid at this time, and he was blown into scum on both offensive and defensive ends.

Harden's offense today has been sparse, with only nine points on his mark so far, shooting just 31.6 percent from the field.

Facing Link's offense again, Harden had no confidence at all. And most importantly, Harden can't comfort himself yet. Because every time Link scores a goal today, he will report a number to Harden. As a result, Harden is unforgettable for every ball he concedes.

As if he was holding a knife, Link did not wipe his neck directly, but slashed Harden one by one, and successfully avoided all the vital points.

Harden is in pain, but he just can't die!

In a trance, Link broke through with the ball. He didn't even use too complicated dribbling moves, just a tentative step and an acceleration, and Harden was thrown away.

After Link made his way into the box, Greg Murphy. Smith's defense was noticeably hesitant. It seems that he listened to Link and did not come to send him to his death!

Smith has already been blocked once, and he doesn't want to "score a brace".

In this way, Link easily scored with a one-handed dunk without encountering any obstacles.

In the stands, the reaction of the fans was very calm. Because of this kind of ball, today they are no longer surprised.

Link dunked, and the margin was stretched to 22 points. The Rockets called a timeout, and when they came back, the game should go into garbage time. ”

On the court, Harden saw Link walking towards him and actually felt the urge to escape. He knew what Link was going to say to himself, but he didn't want to hear it!

Harden had just turned around and was about to flee to the bench, but Link took two big strides to follow.

"43-9, 43-9, James. Harden. Come on, you still have 9 minutes. That's it, I'll give you another chance in the next game and let you tie the score between us. Come on, I'm looking at you, come on. Remember, it's 43 to 9! ”

Link kept nodding his head in emphasis.

The last "43 to 9" deliberately accentuated the tone.

Harden picked up his pace and walked away from Link. Watching Harden run away, Link smiled contentedly.

That guy's confidence should have been completely destroyed. It's not just the confidence of this game, it's the confidence of this whole series!

As long as Harden can't play, why is it difficult to play a 4-0 game against the Rockets?

Link walked off the court, high-fived his teammates, and took a seat on the bench. He knew he didn't have to play anymore.

With 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, Link gave the Rockets a big gift in a little more than three quarters.

Hopefully, Morey will enjoy this game.
