"Timeout, I didn't expect the Suns to call a timeout first." Teacher Su Qun was surprised, because the score was 68:60 on the court at this time, the Suns were leading by 8 points, and Li Mojie was in good shape, he couldn't think of why the Suns called a timeout first.

"Well, it looks like Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek was unhappy with Bledsoe's defense, allowing Brooks to break through several times with ease." Director Zhang looked at the sidelines and Honacek was telling the players.

"Well, in fact, there is one thing to say, Li Mojie's defensive level at this time is not the league's first-line level, but his lateral movement speed is really the top in the league, and his eyes are fast, Brooks and Harden have been stopped by him several times when they want to play Bledsoe." Yao Ming looked at Li Mojie, who was panting on the sidelines, and exclaimed.

"But this is also a lot of physical exertion for Li Mojie. Sure enough, the Suns replaced Bledsoe, Marcus Morris, and Lee Mojie with Ramon Sessions, Markieff Morris, and Gerard Green. ”

"Rockets Harden is still on the court, there is one thing to say, Harden has really a lot of playing time in the Rockets, playing 78 games last season, averaging 38.2 minutes per game, and this game has not rested for a minute." Teacher Su Qun praised.

The game between the two sides started again, with the Suns bench lineup dominated by outside offense, with Ramon Sessions organizing the offense, Middleton, and Gerard Green actively running.

The Suns attacked first, Gerald Green received a pass from Ramon Sessions, then broke away from the defense and cut to the basket for a dunk.

Turning back to the Rockets' offense, Omicasby pulled Markieff Morris to the bottom corner, but the European big man inherited the soft touch of the European interior and hit two three-pointers in the third quarter, and Markieff had to pull out to defend.

Harden stood at the top of the arc and singled Middleton, and in the future, some people always said that "Poison Melon" Anthony is the league's singles king, but after they compare Harden's data horizontally, they will know what a singles king is. Even Harden, at his peak, had 8.7 rounds per game (points per game/points per round) in singles, which was third after the turn of the millennium (the top two were held by Kobe Bryant).

Of course, this also depends on the offensive efficiency of the players, after all, the basketball game is to make tactics for winning, if your singles efficiency is extremely low and you frequently choose singles, then you will soon disappear from this league, just like the NBA iron list, the figures on the mistakes list are only some top players in the Hall of Fame who are eligible to be on the list, and those role players are impossible to be on these two lists.

Whether it's a step-back three-pointer after shaking, a jump shot that changes backwards in a row, or a breakthrough after a feint, or a foul on the opponent due to a breakaway. Harden's arsenal of weapons in singles, and his days as the Rockets' perimeter core, progressively strengthened him, making him one of the most dangerous singles players in the league.

"I feel like Middleton is a little timid." Li Mojie watched from the sidelines as Middleton nervously lowered his center of gravity, his eyes staring at Harden motionlessly.

"Don't be nervous, man." The beard smiled as white teeth leaked out.

"Happy you Happi." Middleton said quietly.

"There is a flaw!" Harden's eyes lit up, and he immediately dribbled the ball in a cross-step, and the ball obediently passed from his right hand through his crotch to his left hand, and then Harden broke through directly to the left, and Middleton hurriedly chased after it.

"Oh? Not bad, isn't it? The position is pretty good, but what about this? "Harden didn't force Middleton to make a layup after he got into the paint, after all, Middleton has a good height and arm span, but for Harden, he still has a tried and tested trick......

"Beep beep foul, free throw" the referee blew the whistle.

"He bumped into it on purpose, I was just defending normally." Middleton pleaded aggrievedly to the referee.

"Then you still hit his hand!" The white referee said helplessly, I don't know that this kid likes to make fouls, but the rules are the rules.

"Boy, there's still a lot to learn!" Looking at Middleton, who looked helpless, Harden stood at the free throw line and picked up the ball and smiled at Middleton.

"Damn bastard, can't you just fuck me?" Middleton shouted angrily.

"I'm sorry, but you can choose not to defend me." Harden chuckled.

The Suns attacked, Ramon Sessions passed to Middleton, and Middleton wanted to return one, but it was clear that he also knew that his singles ability would be difficult to kill these players, so he chose to pull it out and miss.

"Mine." Howard easily grabbed the rebound under the basket, and then Howard passed to Brooks, who saw that Ramon Sessions next to him was following closely and did not play the fast break, slowly waited for his teammates to fall into position at the top of the arc, and then passed to Harden to run himself.

"Do you think you're going to foul again?" Harden said again to Middleton.

Middleton chose to be silent this time and closed his mouth, but Harden still did not choose to let him go, his right hand dribbled several times, his right foot took several steps to the right, and then lowered his center of gravity, dribbled with his left hand, and instantly stepped forward to the right with his right foot, the center of gravity completely fell on his right foot, the ball cut from his left hand to his right hand, the ball pulled to the right side, and leaned forward to the right.

"Is this guy going to foul again?" Middleton was flustered at this point.

"No, this time it's a shot!" Seeing that Middleton was timid this time and didn't dare to press too hard, Harden easily shook out the shooting space.

"Huh!" The ball obediently drilled into the bag.

"Well done, James, the Rockets can't afford to lose to this kind of opponent!"

"That's right, our goal this season is to win the championship."

Rockets fans on the sidelines cheered that the Rockets had caught Howard from the free market this season, and the Rockets, from management to fans, were looking forward to this season.

"Damn it, Chris, take a fancy to you!" Hornacek shouted anxiously from the sidelines.

And Li Mojie sat on the bench, looked at Middleton who was bound on the court with a calm face, and said to himself: "Do you have the ability to make fouls?" It should be added to the arsenal as well! With this weapon, defenders will have some scruples when defending themselves, and it can also greatly reduce the likelihood of injury themselves. ”

While Lee pondered when to add this ability to his arsenal and how to train it, the Rockets had already gained momentum through several of Harden's offenses.

Hornacek called several timeouts in the third quarter to save the situation, although the Suns bench players were indeed good, but the Rockets chased the score very fiercely, and the Rockets only trailed the Suns by 2 points at 80:78 at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Li Mojie, who had rested for a full quarter, finally returned to the game in the anticipation of Suns fans.

"Li Mojie is back on the field!" Looking at Li Mojie, who was standing on the field again, Teacher Su Qun perked up.

"Well, Li Mojie has rested for a while at this time, and it is the time to exert his strength when he is full of strength!" Director Zhang also said excitedly.

"I saw that when the Rockets were on the rise just now, many fans asked on the barrage why they didn't replace Li Mojie. What I want to say is, first, it's just the regular season, and the Suns are definitely going to hone their bench lineup; Second, you can take a look at Li Mojie's playing time, the Suns have a plan for Li Mojie's training, you can check that Li Mojie's playing time will not exceed 36 minutes per game. Yao Ming said eloquently.

"With Li Mojie's current performance, the team will definitely not hide his moves, but for rookies, injuries are the problem they are most afraid of encountering, so the team is also a kind of protection for him." Director Zhang explained with experience.
