Chapter 290 335, pre-game preparation
Harden was pressed, and the first one who didn't agree was Capela, as the team's main insider, at this time, he naturally had to rush to the front and jump out on the spot, looking for Stephenson theory.
Fortunately, after stepping forward and squirting a few words with Stephenson, he was pulled out by his teammates.
Harden lay on the floor for a moment before being pulled up by his teammates, moving his muscles, covering his arms, and rubbing them vigorously a few times.
"Look, isn't that nothing!" Paul looked at Harden and said.
Harden's big help style and easy misunderstanding of his physical fitness are not good, but if you have more contact with him, you will find that his physical fitness is excellent and his confrontation ability is also extremely strong.
Some people's bodies, looking at the muscle lines are not obvious, but the ability to fight does not belong to others at all, and Harden is such a person.
Standing up, Harden did not rush to the free throw, but walked on both sides for a while, stabilized a little, and then stood on the free throw line and threw two free throws.
With both free throws, Anderson serves a sideline.
Harden didn't directly choose to ask for the ball this time, but asked Gordon to come over and make a no-ball block, motioned for Anderson to pass the ball to Gordon, and rushed inside himself.
was hit like this, and Harden was also angry.
Capela helped Harden block Stephenson, who was chasing after him, and when Harden ran back to the free throw line, Gordon passed the ball in time.
After shaking for a while, Harden stepped on his European step, indomitable, and after rushing inside, it was a one-handed slam dunk, which was extremely tough, and he didn't look at Thaddeus Young who rushed up to make up for the defense.
After Harden took the initiative to increase the offense, the Rockets' firepower began to slowly increase, but today's Pacers played unusually tough, and moreover, fully displayed team basketball.
Constantly using pick-and-rolls, through constant off-ball running, to pull the Rockets' defensive position.
The advantage of having more young people is good physical strength, and now the Rockets have no good way to control their running, so they will always seize a good offensive opportunity.
At this time, someone must stand up for the Rockets' defense, and if Cheng Lei is present, at this time, he will definitely show the most positive attitude, even if he doesn't defend it, the momentum will be displayed.
At this time, Ariza stepped up, and in order to block the Pacers' offense, they must limit their offensive engine, Oladipo.
Ariza was misplaced to defend Oladipo and had an advantage in almost everything except for his speed.
The speed is fundamental, then let him go, block him from shooting in front of him, and with his height and arm span, even if Oladipo suddenly pulls up and shoots, although he is not sure to risk him, he can still do it.
Sure enough, after Oladipo dribbled past half the court, he saw Ariza coming up, and originally wanted to accelerate and decisively Ariza, but after seeing Ariza take half a step back from his defensive position, he changed his approach.
Ariza was originally good at defense, and when he took a step back, Oladipo was not completely sure of him, and after rushing into the interior line against Ariza, it was full of players taller than him, and it would be more difficult to score.
After assessing the situation on the field, Oladipo took a step back and stuffed the ball directly to Stephenson.
The most unhappy thing in the audience now is not Harden, it should be Stephenson, the original foul was just right, but now it's okay, he directly blew himself a technical foul, which he didn't expect.
"What you just played!" Stephenson complained.
"Acting like? It's you who move big! ”
"Hmph, you won't be so lucky next time!"
Stephenson suddenly turned sideways, secretly slammed Harden hard.
Harden was unprepared, I didn't expect Stephenson to dare to make such a small move, aren't you afraid of being punished, if you are well prepared, you will fall on the spot, and it will be over, and now Stephenson has taken the lead.
When Harden didn't stand firm, Stephenson got up and rushed inside to resist Harden.
This style of play, how can it look so familiar, at first glance, it looks a bit like LeBron's tank attack.
"It's a pity!" Seeing that Capela was ready, Paul said.
Stephenson is no longer in that peak state, and now, he won't take advantage of such a hard-hitting goal.
Sure enough, after Stephenson jumped, Capela jumped too, forming an impenetrable wall that Stephenson couldn't even see where the basket was.
Passing the ball is not his own style, and in this case passing the ball means admitting it, and Stephenson has no intention of passing the ball.
After controlling his body, he forcibly turned around in the air and threw the ball blindly with his back to the basket.
"Rebound!" Harden shouted.
The ball was thrown so substandard that it directly deviated from the range of the basket, smashed on the rebound, and bounced back.
After Capela landed, he jumped up again, and seeing that Myles Turner was one step ahead of him, Capela gave up the idea of grabbing the ball and stabbed it directly towards the ball.
After landing, he jumped again.
Continuous jumps are Capela's advantage, but this time, it was Ariza who won the ball, and when the ball was stabbed, Ariza had already rushed into the inside.
After grabbing the rebound, Harden was already on the fast move, ready for the fast break.
While Harden was running, Stephenson realized that he had made a mistake with the ball, and chased Harden as fast as he could.
After receiving the ball, Harden caught a glimpse of Stephenson who was chasing after him, and interestingly slowed down a little, allowing Stephenson to catch up.
With a shrug of his shoulders, he grabbed the ball with his left hand and raised it, making a throwing motion between the moves, causing Stephenson to jump directly.
Harden took a European step, opened the distance between him and Stephenson in style, and scored two points on the board.
"Your defense is not good, you think I will throw?" Harden continued to taunt Stephenson.
Add another fire, and this guy will have another technical foul and will be sent off.
Sure enough, Stephenson's angry eyes were about to erupt into flames, and it seemed that his emotions had reached the extreme.
"Ball... I'll fight! As soon as he got into his position, Stephenson reached for the ball.
Oladipo hesitated for a moment, but eventually passed the ball to Stephenson.
Boom... Boom...
Without any fancy movements, after dribbling the ball twice, Stephenson's shoulders sank and he slammed straight into Harden.
Boom....
Then there was a burst of openness in front of him, and Harden lay on the ground and slid out of the back for a short distance before stopping.
"Foul, foul!" The audience began to shout rhythmically.
The referee did not hesitate this time and directly blew Stephenson for a foul.
Stephenson broke out directly, this ball, obviously Harden deliberately, the last time he theorized to the referee, his teammates failed to pull him away, and he kept talking trash in his mouth.
Toot toot...
The whistle blew again, and it was another technical foul that sent Stephenson straight down.
