Chapter 254: Hats Again
"You go to guard against Harden, guard against him, you must guard against him, I don't want to say anything else, you guard him for me!" Hojberg said excitedly to Li Ming during the pause, looking at it, it is simply a feeling that the fate of the whole country is on you.
That feeling made Li Ming feel a little savior for a moment.
The suspension ends.
Savior, oh no, it's Li Ming who reappears...
Hojberg guessed what D'Antoni was thinking, and the latter did let Harden play the ball.
And D'Antoni watched Li Ming walk to the opposite side of Harden, and he was also subconsciously stunned, a little nervous, and he was also a little nervous about Li Ming coming to defend Harden.
The latter just now, just covered Harden, and it is impossible for him not to worry.
Of course, he is not the only one who is worried, but also these spectators on the sidelines, who are also holding their breath, with less than two minutes left, the next goal is enough to decide everything.
So every viewer was nervous.
As soon as this tense atmosphere spread, the entire auditorium fell silent.
His eyes were staring at the field, for fear that the two sides of the kung fu in the blink of an eye had already divided the winner and loser!
Harden is cautious, in fact. He had to be cautious, because he had already been covered by Li Ming just now, and he could see that Li Ming's defense was very strong. At least it is better than so many opposing players he has encountered before, but this ball is very crucial, and he has to execute it himself, so he chooses to play this ball cautiously.
Slowly lower the center of gravity, because the center of gravity is low and the dribble is not easy to be broken, he usually does not do this action, but he has to do this in the face of Li Ming, only in this way can he ensure that he can be more confident when he shoots in the process of breaking through in the process of dribbling!
Obviously, this kind of mentality shouldn't be for a player like Harden. Because this means that he is very jealous of the other party. And the word jealousy ... The number of times it has been used with Harden, at least this season, is rare.
And if you go back in time, you have to go back to when he was on the Thunder team, but at that time he was a substitute, and he had his eldest brother and second brother in front of him to support him, he could be jealous or unconfident. But... This is the Rockets, he's the heart of this team, he's what he calls the cornerstone, a player who can run. He himself should be a player at the same level as Li Ming.
He shook his head, realizing that he was already thinking too much, that he was on the offensive and that he shouldn't have so many thoughts. It's not good for himself.
Fortunately, he reacted in time.
The speed of the dribble picks up, and Harden is going to attack.
After he had concentrated, his offensive became fierce.
Left, right, left, right, finally he found a bit of space.
That little bit of space was hard to come by, and it was a great opportunity.
Without hesitation, he broke through.
Successfully broke through Li Ming, which was easier than he imagined!
Although I wondered in my heart, I had already trained thousands of movements for several days, and I didn't need to think about it through my brain, and I had already used it automatically.
Raise your hand... Sell...
"Smack!"
There was a sudden sound, and the ball that was supposed to be in the basket in his eyes was covered by a hand that suddenly stretched out!
"Damn, it's covered again!" The person who covered his ball, needless to say, was Li Ming.
It was only at this time that he reacted in hindsight.
He broke through too easily, but it wasn't how powerful he was, it was Li Ming's intention.
Li Ming deliberately missed the defense against him. Let him think that this ball can be shot. And when he struck, it was like a rat getting into the rat cage, and the fly was stained with the sticky rat board. The grizzly bear stepped on the trap.
Hit the trick!
Li Ming landed without waiting for Harden to react.
He quickly pounced on the ball that he had covered.
At this time, Harden reacted: Li Ming's defense is far from over, and his offense is the same.
Because the ball was impartial, it fell between him and Li Ming.
That position is where he can touch it as soon as he stretches out his hand or Li Ming stretches out his hand, and then it depends on who is fast.
Harden swears. He has never been like this for a moment ... I wish I had touched the ball first.
There really was never a moment, because after he signed that big contract, even though his figure had been trained by him, his nickname was still nightclub... He is a little prince of nightclubs, and when he can not touch the ball, he chooses to forget about basketball. Although that's his profession. But compared to the wind and snowy night, compared to a moment worth a thousand gold... Basketball doesn't seem to be that important. But now, in his eyes ... This basketball, which is usually not so important, has become extraordinarily important again.
He is a pure black American, and what he yearns for is personal heroism, and this ball is what he achieves personal heroism. The best interpretation.
Because of this environment, because the eyes here are on him.
It's a great feeling, it's hard for someone who hasn't experienced it to empathize with it, and it's hard to understand it.
Unfortunately, perhaps he was not a pure Catholic and did not go to church every week, and this time God was not on his side.
The ball was picked up by Li Ming, and the latter not only got the ball, but also seemed to ignite a raging fighting spirit, as if the balance of victory was tilted at this moment.
It was obviously Li Ming's back rushing out, but Harden saw victory and slowly walked away from him.
He had the heart to chase it, but he got farther and farther away.
Li Ming's violent deduction was successful!
The difference is back to 4 points left!
There is 1 minute and 30 seconds left.
Because of Harden's mistake, the score was only four points apart.
This means that the Bulls have a good chance of overtaking the score, and it also means that tonight's hero will not be Harden, but Li Ming, who stands opposite him and covers it for two consecutive defenses.
Harden still wants to play another one, trying to get back a little bit of face as much as possible.
Although he was already timid in his heart, he knew that it was impossible, but he still wanted to try.
But at this critical moment, it is impossible to give him such a willful ball.
Paul ignored him, and he chose to fight himself.
There is a saying that look at Harden in good times, Gordon in adversity, and Paul in desperate times.
São Paulo, who is only 1.83 meters, is the last hope of the Rockets and will not be reversed.
And when Paul got the ball, the audience was obviously relieved, after all, he was once the league's No. 1 point guard ranked second on the list.
Although Harden has been on the list for three consecutive years, the quality of these years is obviously not as good as that time, as strong as LeBron in 070809, he can only barely be called the top five in the league.
