At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, after the Rockets changed to the main lineup, the way of playing immediately changed.

Paul is one of the league's top point guards, and as soon as he gets on the court, he directly directs his teammates to start running, and his speed on his feet also increases a few beats.

Just past the halfway line, it passed directly to Harden outside the three-point line on the left side, Harden's advantage is on the left, and as a left-handed player, he has a unique advantage in his own right.

For the vast majority of defenders, the left side is the weak side of the defense and is easy to break.

Normally, the sudden defense of the left hand is one more step than the defense of the right hand breakthrough, and it is this extra step time that is enough for Harden to free up a good opportunity.

Harden let out a long breath, he hadn't played for a few days since he was injured, and he missed that feeling a little.

Standing in front of Harden is Evans, who is the rookie and the peak, I think back then, when Evans first entered the league, his body was hot, and the data was also unusually hot, everyone thought that he was the best player after LeBron, but soon, injuries struck, and Evans's realization continued to decline.

However, after coming to the Grizzlies, Evans began to recover and showed good strength.

Evans is in good physical condition, but injuries have more or less affected his lateral movement ability, and Harden's first step with his left hand is really fast.

In just one step, he found a chance to make a shot, but Harden didn't shoot, which is not his style.

continued to break through all the way inside, and when he reached the free throw line, Harden deliberately slowed down, and when Evans got closer, he took a European step and took the initiative to get closer to Evans.

Harden's famous stunt, the tried and tested porcelain touching technique, the perfect display, after sticking to Evans, his hands from the bottom to the top, dangling everywhere to make a shooting action.

Evans raised his hands and tried to stop Harden from shooting, and Harden smiled, so he wanted to stop me, underestimating me.

Cha!

Harden's hands hit Evans directly, and his body also collided with Evans diagonally.

"Ahh Ahh

Toot toot...

The whistle blew and Evans blocked the foul.

I have to admit that Harden's technique of touching porcelain with his hand is indeed strong, and he has practiced to the peak, knowing that he is not in good shape today and lacking in shooting preparation, but what does it matter, he can score by free throws.

Dribbled the ball twice, adjusted his posture, and took the first free throw.

Boom... The ball bounced out of the frame and the first penalty was missed.

After turning around and adjusting his mood, Harden continued to stand on the free-throw line.

After receiving the ball from the referee, Harden let out a sigh of relief, and after a few spins of the ball, he made a shot, and the second penalty went in.

After Harden was replaced, his shortcomings were also obvious, that is, it was easy to appear on the defensive, so the Grizzlies replaced Evans, who had strong offensive ability.

Mario Chalmers, as the main point guard of the championship during the Heat period, naturally has real skills, and has played next to the Big Three, and his style of play is naturally very stable.

Chalmers faced Paul's defense, weight, height was an advantage, sideways facing Paul, and after protecting the ball and pushing it across the halfcourt, Evans also took the initiative to come up to catch the ball.

Harden's defense did seem a little slack, and when he saw Evans coming up to catch the ball, he was not in a hurry at all and walked up slowly.

"Has Deng's defense always been like this?" Cheng Lei couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Capella on the side.

"Brother Deng said, offense is the biggest defense, and this kind of defense is not his style!" Capella said helplessly.

The main lineup of the Rockets, except for Harden, almost all of them have iron-blooded defense, if Harden can change the eye defense, the strength of the Rockets will rise a notch.

However, since the Rockets brought in Coach D'Antoni and started a run-and-gun tactic, Harden, who is missing, has become less important.

The rhythm comes together, no matter which team it is, there will always be holes in the defense, it depends on whether you can catch it.

Evans' style of play is indeed very similar to James's, like a bulldozer, pushing it in at full speed.

After a few symbolic defensive shots, Harden moved out of the way and let Evans in, and Anderson, who acted as a temporary center, was ready to make up for it.

Bang!

It was like a train hitting a wall, the sound of the collision was real, Anderson was directly knocked back a few steps, and Evans made a basket in the air and scored the ball.

"This guy really thinks of himself as James!"

"The bulldozer style of play is really unstoppable!"

"I remember that Evans' template when he first entered the league was James, but injuries in recent years have affected his strength!" Van Gundy Jr. said.

For Evans, everyone still acknowledges his strength.

In addition to touching porcelain, Harden also has a trick, that is, back-step shooting, Harden's step-back shooting is not the same as others', his step-back step is very large, and the rhythm is very ingenious.

However, if it is not in the NBA, if it is placed in another league, Harden's stepback step is estimated to be blown away nine times out of ten, between walking and not walking, which is also the reason why his backward step is difficult to be prevented.

No, the next offense, Harden showed his back-to-back three-point step, the action was picturesque, and the posture was picturesque, but unfortunately, the last step, the shot did not score.

No way, Harden's shooting crosshair today is really not very accurate.

However, the Rockets' full defense was still very fast.

The Rockets did not choose a single defense this time, and adopted a joint defense without a problem, and people all over the world know that the best way to break the joint defense is to shoot from a distance.

No, after the Grizzlies got to the ball a few times, there were too many people on the inside, and it would be more dangerous for the ball to be hoisted in, and they could only keep guiding on the outside, and Chalmers showed a qualified supporting role around what it means to be a great player.

One step outside the three-point line, a direct three-point shot, and the ball really went in!

Paul was not to be outdone, Harden's three-point crosshairs were a little worse today, Paul did it himself, and when his teammates on both sides were not in place, Paul grabbed a shot and also scored.

The two sides began to divide each other, and at this time, as long as one side is discouraged, the score will be pulled apart at once.

When Evans faced Harden's defense, he just hit it with all his strength, and he forced Harden with his body, and after hitting a few balls, the Rockets decisively changed their defense, as long as Evans got the ball, Ariza was determined to come over and change the defense.

Ariza is worthy of defending the old fritters, always looking for opportunities to stand on Evans' forward route in advance, waiting for Evans to collide, as soon as Evans touches Ariza, Ariza falls directly to the ground.

After causing Evans to hit people with the ball, Evans was not so unscrupulous to rush inside.
