James Harden was gasping for air with his hands on his knees, his head down, and he was really tired.

People are such a magical creature, similar things, similar states will come to completely different results because of their own emotions, preferences, and situation differences, for example, if you hold a bag of 90 pounds of rice, you will feel heavy and difficult to walk, but you can hold a 90 pound beauty but can walk like flying; For example, the same 1 hour seems to be spent like a year in class, but when playing games, it is fleeting; For example, when you are happy, you will feel that other people's praise is sincere, and when you are angry, you will listen to all praise as backwords.

The same is true on the basketball court, when you play downwind, you feel like you can do anything, as if you have endless energy, and when you play against the wind, all the fatigue gushes out and swallows you up.

Harden was now surrounded by a heavy fatigue that slowed his movements, dulled his reflexes, and made him feel powerless with every movement. On the other hand, Roy on the opposite side was still jumping up and down as if he was fine, and running all over the field.

How is this possible? Roy didn't bother in the second half, what kind of medicine did he take? How could he have the physical strength of such a monster.

Harden is already a little desperate, and now not only Roy's performance has completely suppressed himself, but even the score on the court is slowly caught up and even overtaken by the Knicks. Roy's goal just now, the Knicks have a two-point lead of 110-108, and Roy's score is also his 48th point of the game. 48 points, which means Roy also scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, and has scored a full 46 points in the second half.

It is absolutely impossible to go on like this, not only will you lose the game, but you will also lose the battle with Roy.

Of course, Harden will not admit defeat, and if there is a microphone now, he will definitely shout at the top of his voice "Orcs will never be slaves", oh no, "Harden will never admit defeat".

Harden, who does not admit defeat, has no way to retreat now, his physical strength is exhausted, his form is declining, the situation is tense in an all-round way, the regular offense is almost completely ineffective, and he must make some changes.

Harden hasn't conceded defeat yet, because he still has one final killer feature - "touch porcelain", and the only way for Harden to win now is to get Roy off the court, just like he did in the first round, and use the "porcelain Dafa" to get Roy off the court.

No way, Harden really has no moves, his shooting has no touch, his breakthrough lacks speed, all he can do at the moment is to "touch porcelain", at least on his home court, he believes that James Harden will still hold the privilege, and the referee will still be on his side.

I, James Harden, are still a privileged player in this league, and I can do it again.

With this strong obsession, Harden launched an attack on Roy, Harden's attack was a thief, he seemed to be normal, normal rhythm, normal ball control, but the rest of his eyes kept observing Roy's footsteps.

This is Harden's habit of "touching porcelain", observing the opponent's intentions first and then adapting to them. If the opponent is the kind of conditional launching, brainless flying flow defender, then Harden will definitely be obliged to let him understand the power of "touching porcelain", and if the opponent is a steady and calm floor flow defender, he needs to cooperate with more feints to achieve his goal of "touching porcelain" to cheat fouls.

The hot-blooded Roy is a brainless defender in Harden's eyes at this time, and he sticks to himself so tightly that Harden feels a little awkward.

Roy will definitely jump up and cover me, and if I show my flaws, Roy will definitely rush over and cover me without thinking, and if he wants to beat me, he will be fooled. In just a few seconds, an image of Roy's innocent expression after being whistled for a foul has been generated in Harden's mind.

That's right, just like that, Roy has already committed 3 fouls, and if I do 3 more times, I can send him off.

Harden said to do it, and his slow dribble suddenly became faster, and all the signs indicated that Harden was about to attack. Sure enough, after a few regular cross-steps, Harden's "lost step" followed. Roy has long been familiar with Harden's offensive style, not only has he done a lot of homework on Harden before, but after this period of adaptation, he has long been not afraid of Harden's frontal breakthrough.

Roy thought very clearly, if Harden wants to shoot dry, he will shoot with him, anyway, with his current bad hand, it is not much of a threat, but if he wants to break through to the interior then it is absolutely not allowed.

But Harden is just about to break through, his change of direction has been made, Roy does not dare to relax, he is still very tight, at this moment, Harden suddenly received the ball, he has to face Roy's close defense pull-up jump shot.

Roy immediately judged Harden's intentions, but when he was about to jump, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Why did Harden make a jumper without throwing me away? Why did Harden deliberately sell the flaw? Roy stopped suddenly, his hands stretched out to interfere, but his body was forcibly restrained, and his feet were nailed to the floor.

Roy's change caught Harden, who was about to lean on Roy, a little caught off guard, Roy was still on the ground, and he kept it in his cylinder in a regular manner, but Harden was already jumping in the air, and because Harden didn't jump with the purpose of shooting at all, he had no choice at the moment. There was no way, it was too late to pass the ball, and Harden had to throw the ball out of the way.

This is an exaggerated shooting action, because Harden is rushing to make fouls, his hand shape is not even adjusted, the ball "bang" hit the rebound, and without even touching the basket, it fell straight into Noah's hands.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Harden's antics move, the live broadcast room is now laughing, because the Knicks overtook the score before, the four bigwigs are now in a good mood and are talking and laughing happily.

Harden's ugly pouting and blind XX shooting just now obviously made them find the topic at once, and the four of them couldn't help but say hi.

"What the hell is Harden thinking about this ball, does he want to shoot? still wanted to make a foul, but Roy was not fooled at all, which embarrassed Harden, and when the ball was thrown, I believe that there must be 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart at this time. ”

"Hey, I said that this ball will definitely be selected for O'Neal's five embarrassing moments, let's take a look at the slow motion of this ball later, what part of Harden is using to shoot? Is it an ass? Is it an ass? Oh my God, I'm sure Harden would love to delete all the footage of this game. ”

The old duo of Brin and Fraser sang and sang and sang together, and only Van Gundy was still seriously analyzing Harden's tactical intentions.

"I think Harden's ball should be aimed at making Roy's foul, in the case of his own physical strength declining and feeling nothing, it is actually a good idea to kill inside, but unfortunately Harden's move seems to have been seen through by Roy, and we see that Harden is still chattering and complaining about something with the referee."

Harden's move was indeed spotted by Roy in advance, and in the fraction of a second just now, Roy's instinct suddenly told him that it was a foul shot.

Roy remembers how many Harden game footage he watched and how many Harden's offensive routines he analyzed. Harden's shooting is always very regular and rhythmic, and he rarely gives opponents a chance to block unless he wants to make that guy foul, and that ball is a clear cheat foul.

Harden, who was embarrassed and angry, was complaining to the referee that Roy had fouled the ball just now, and he wanted to ask the referee for a whistle through his privilege, but the referee was indifferent at all. Harden may have overlooked a problem, compared to the rookie who debuted two months ago, after Roy broke a series of NBA records, after Roy was sought after by tens of millions of fans, and after Roy signed a sky-high shoe endorsement contract, his status in the league has long been different. In other words, the current Roy is also a "semi-privileged player" in the eyes of the referee, and his privilege comes from his infinite value, from his super popularity, and from Adam Shaw's appreciation.

So Harden's complaint can only get him a taunt from Roy.

"Bearded, it seems that you really can't do it, now what can you do but cheat and foul? Do you think I'm still the same person in the first round? ”

Seeing through Harden's conspiracy, Roy is obviously very proud, of course he will not miss this good opportunity to fight back against Harden, and Harden is remorseful because of the gaffe just now, and his anger comes up all of a sudden.

"Rookie, don't get complacent too early, the game isn't over yet."

"You're right, the game isn't over yet."

Roy's counterattack is full of irony, the game is indeed not over yet, at least Roy's score has not surpassed Harden, but Roy is already very close to Harden.

So far, he is still in a state of "physical strength", which allows his offense to be at ease.

Roy still chooses the safest interior offense, maybe to fight back against Harden, or maybe he wants to show Harden what a real scorer is, Roy's offense actually chose the same offensive mode as Harden.

The routine of cross-step dribbling, and then a sharp acceleration to the inside, Roy once again stepped past Ariza, and he was about to start shooting, when a dark shadow suddenly pounced, and unexpectedly, it was No. 13 James Harden in a red Rockets uniform.

Harden actually took the initiative to make up for his teammates? Is the sun coming out of the west?

Harden will take the initiative to participate in defense, which shows that he really can't stand it. Harden pounced on Roy with full of anger, it is obvious that after the battle just now, Harden's anger has reached its peak, and if he doesn't cover Roy's ball, he can't make up for his own fool just now, and Harden wants to bet all the chances of saving face on this ball.

Don't say it, Harden, who is 196 cm tall and has an arm span of 210 cm, is not weak in jumping, and he gave a maximum vertical bounce (running bounce) of 94 cm in the rookie training camp physical test before the draft, which is also a big surprise.

In other words, as long as James Harden wants to defend seriously, with his strong physical talents, maybe he can really do well.

Just like now, when James Harden is in the air at full strength, his defensive coverage really surprises many. However, Roy has to be excluded from this many, and Roy is not surprised at all, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

I saw Roy holding the basketball but didn't jump right away, he froze in place for half a second.

Roy is playing the time difference, does he want to make Harden foul? The person who reacted quickly had already understood that Roy wanted to "repay the other with his own way", and he was going to attack Harden, the ancestor of "touching porcelain".

It is true, when Harden jumped in the air and looked down on Roy, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, he was impulsive, he was stupid, and he wanted to contain his body floating in the air, but it was already too late. Roy waited until Harden's body started to fall before he started to shoot, and he didn't even need much adjustment before Harden obediently crashed into him, which was a clear foul.

But Roy didn't just want to foul Harden, with his natural touch, Roy threw the ball to the basket with one left hand when he lost his balance.

The basketball left his hand, and the whistle sounded at the same time, and there was no dispute that the beater fouled, but now it was not as simple as a foul, but after seeing that the basketball was tossed on the basket a few times, it finally rolled into the basket slowly, and Roy played 2+1.

2+1, the moment the referee's whistle sounded, the whole court was quiet all of a sudden, and when the basketball rolled into the basket, the fans in the stadium seemed to be frozen.

With Roy's 2+1, the Knicks have expanded the difference to 4 points, but this is not the most deadly, the most lethal is that their MVP Harden was defeated by Roy from the front, and the defeat was miserable and ugly, their spiritual pillar Harden has not scored for 6 minutes, and Roy's score in the fourth quarter has risen to 19 points, and if this continues, the Rockets are not far from losing.

"Bearded, I've seen through your routines, you know? When you hang out in nightclubs every day, fooling around with this and that Shan, but I stay up all night watching your game video, you will never win against me, because you can't even compare to my 1% diligence. ”

Roy kept talking and handing, and after hitting the free throws, his score had reached a terrifying 51 points, and Harden and Roy broke the 50-point mark at the same time in a game, and the double 50 points also meant that this scoring war was about to enter the hottest stage.

How so? Roy's words just now undoubtedly made Harden's morale drop to zero, Harden is facing a big test, games, data, honors, can be ruined anytime and anywhere, he can't help but be a little shaken.

Harden couldn't help but think of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs last season, when the Rockets he led lost 1:4 to the Golden State Warriors, which was the first time in his life that he experienced a feeling of despair, and in the face of the Warriors' inexplicable offense, all Harden could do was surrender.

But this game is different from the series lost to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals last season, in that series Harden faced the Warriors, a championship team with Curry, Thompson, and Green, and the Warriors who set an NBA win record.

Today is different, today Harden is facing Roy Roy, a first-year rookie who is in extremely bad shape in the previous games and is experiencing the torture of the "rookie wall", the Asian player that Harden despises the most, and Roy, who had a big war of words with him before the game and dared to provoke himself in the game. In the face of such an opponent, he naturally knows best how much pressure Harden will face if he fails.

So, I have to win.

Harden took a deep breath and struck Roy again, but Harden's movements were still elusive, and he didn't believe Roy could judge all his balls.

Harden was right, if it was Harden in a normal state, Roy really couldn't guard him, but now Harden is impatient, angry, and physically exhausted, and his movements are all half a beat slower in Roy's eyes, and such a Harden can't beat Roy.

Harden didn't want to foul Roy again this time, he chose to kill directly to the basket, but when he used the European step to make a layup, Roy's chasing hat also arrived.

Crisp big hat, broken self-esteem.

When he saw the basketball being covered by Roy from behind, Harden was really desperate, but what made him even more desperate was that the basketball was not out of bounds, Noah, who got the rebound, immediately launched a long pass counterattack, Derrick Rose and Roy both went down quickly, and the only player in the Rockets who retreated was Gordon, Rose and Roy seemed to be playing an All-Star Game, and they understood it all with one eye contact.

Rose threw the ball high in the air, Roy jumped high, received the basketball, pressed Gordon, stretched out his arm and dunked the ball into the Rockets' basket, 53 points! Roy's scoring has tied with Harden, and the Knicks have a seven-point lead.

D'Antoni, who had been silent for a long time, finally lost his breath and was forced to call a timeout......
