Chapter 277: 277, Positive Harden
Playing at home, you have to show the momentum of the home court, as soon as Harden came up, he gave the Knicks a dismount, and the fans of the Rockets certainly did not forget to cooperate with Harden and made a wave of ridicule to Porzingis.
This is the second meeting between the two teams this season, the last time the two teams met, the two teams played inextricably, and at the end, the winner was decided, and after the last game, the Rockets players seemed to want to prove something.
Barkley, who commented on the seat, also said that the previous time, after the Rockets were killed by the Cavaliers, the next game directly slaughtered the opponent, this time, the situation is so the same, whether the Rockets will slaughter the Knicks again, it is worth looking forward to.
So far this season, although the Knicks have performed quite well, if this record is placed in the West, they will definitely not be able to enter the playoffs, and in general, there is still a gap in the strength of the two teams.
After Harden hit both free throws, the ball was in the hands of the Knicks.
The Knicks are now a two-big lineup, so their advance speed is not very fast, and Sessions is still very aware of the advantages of his team now, and he can't play a fast-paced offense with the Rockets, and he must play steadily.
Porzingis still has a great advantage against Anderson, a young man, likes physical contact, and his height still has an advantage over Anderson, so he stuck directly at the free throw line and began to ask for the ball.
Anderson has no choice, if he can't prevent Porzingis, he will suffer even more if he is replaced by Tucker's height.
Gritting his teeth, he pushed it up, ready to go head-to-head with Porzingis.
As the boss of the team, Anthony is not very active in playing, and since the younger brother Porzingis is going to play, it is better to give him the ball.
After making eye exchanges, knowing Anthony's intentions, Sessions made a ground-hitting pass, evaded Paul's defense, and passed the ball smoothly into the hands of Porzingis.
"It's coming!" When Anderson saw the ball in Porzingis' hands, he pressed his weight down, and one arm was always pressed Porzingis's waist, preventing him from having a chance to turn around easily.
Porzingis is very athletic, and if there is any shortcoming at the moment, it is a lack of strength, so if he squeezes in by brute force, he may not be able to squeeze Anderson.
Therefore, Anderson's purpose is very clear, just to kill Kaporzingis's chassis, as long as he does not turn around smoothly, then, he can weaken Porzingis's offensive ability a lot.
One foot was firmly stuck between Porzingis's legs, and all the strength of his body was pressed on Porzingis's back.
After Porzingis held the ball, he felt the strength of Anderson's defense and did not rush to get off the ball, which is also the result of his experience after a season of training.
Xu Huang, still Xu Huang, his body swayed from side to side from time to time, his shoulders were full of confusion, trying to mobilize Anderson's center of gravity.
"Cut! Just want to confuse me? "Anderson doesn't like Porzingis.
often watching Cheng Lei's footsteps, plus Olajuwon coming to the Rockets' training ground from time to time, even if he hasn't learned to talk in his dreams, he knows how to defend such steps, and he still has some experience.
Not eating at all, and, firmly stuck on the chassis and not being able to turn around, this made Porzingis have nothing to do well.
Boom... The muscles collided, and Porzingis began to play with his back to the single, pushing Anderson strongly.
Boom... Boom... It's two more confrontations, and in this pure confrontation, Porzingis has no advantage.
There was no way to go inside smoothly, and when Porzingis was a little hesitant, he saw Noah's shadow on the side, and he didn't hesitate, and continued to push hard.
At this time, Noah quickly appeared on the side, ran up directly, blocked Anderson's pursuit of the defense, and allowed Porzingis to turn smoothly and face the basket.
And Anderson has been firmly blocked by Noah.
Noah, this person, the defensive ability is very good, in the Bulls, his blocking and dismantling ability is first-class, after coming to the Knicks, although the injury is affected, the state has declined greatly, but the ability to block and dismantle is still there.
Porzingis, who was facing the basket, had already jumped up, lifted the ball to the highest point, and shot directly.
Even if he changed the defense and saw a direct shot at Porzingis, Capela had no good way to do it, so he could only tentatively jump up and scare Porzingis.
The ball slipped past Kopera's hand and into the basket.
βYESοΌβ Porzingis also swung his fist hard after the goal.
"It's a bit of a pity for this goal, Anderson's defense is still very good, but Noah's blocking and dismantling timing is just right!" Barkley commented.
The Knicks are now focusing on the inside, and the Rockets are of course still focusing on the outside, and the three-point is the lifeline of the Rockets.
Paul controlled the tempo very experienced, and the conductor teammates began to run, and Harden was also very excited today, as soon as he stood firm outside the three-point line, he began to reach for the ball.
The main thing is to defend himself today, Courtney Lee, if it is Anthony who defends himself like last time, then Harden will still have some concerns.
Since Harden is so active today, Paul is also happy to help Harden make the ball.
Finding an opportunity, a crotch-piercing pass, the ball went to Harden's hands again.
Seeing Courtney Lee, who was struggling to defend him, Harden smiled lightly and began to move.
This time, Courtney Lee didn't dare to have any slackness, and after letting Harden enter the interior, the lethality would be too great, and he would rather let him shoot on the outside than let him in easily.
So, when defending Harden, Courtney Lee probably let Harden take a step, and if you have the ability, you can shoot every ball.
"I don't believe in my own shot!"
Harden looked at Courtney Lee, took a step back, and after stepping over the three-point line, the pitcher was a three-pointer.
Boom... The ball was a little shorter and didn't go in.
Capela was sandwiched between the Knicks' two interior shots and couldn't move, and Noah was wild enough to get the rebound.
"Did this guy learn rebounding from Rodman, why do you want to make such a big move!" Barkley quipped with a laugh.
"You're lucky this time, next time there won't be such a good thing!" Although he didn't shoot, Harden didn't forget to hit Courtney Lee.
It seems that since Cheng Lei came to the Rocket team, the trash talk level of all members of the Rocket team has improved, and it seems that they usually listen to him trash talk.
After winning the rebound, the Knicks were not in a hurry, and only after the Rockets retreated from the defense, Sessions slowly dribbled the ball through the half, and it was obvious that there was no good opportunity, just not forcing the fast break.
Broke the Rockets' desire to win in the chaos.
