This season, in the regular season MVP list, the competition is as fierce as ever, but anyone who can make it to the top ten is a crazy performer, and being able to enter the top three is a phenomenal performance, and for James Harden, he is a long-term dominator at the top of the top three.

Everyone knows that it's not because of anything else, it's just because his performance so far this season has been incredible.

Looking back at recent seasons, Harden is definitely one of the most regrettable superstars, as he almost always misses the regular season MVP award, always a little bit short.

There are rumors that ESPN, one of the mainstream media in the United States, does not want to see Harden, so it is likely that Harden will not win the regular season MVP for his entire career.

This may just be a rumor, but what is certain is that without wind and waves, Harden is indeed not easy to win this award.

As for Harden himself, first of all, he naturally hopes to win this award, and he has been working hard for it, he believes that as long as he performs well enough, at that time, no matter how difficult it is, he can also get this award.

And to be good enough, you have to put in a good performance, especially against a strong opponent like Spurs.

However, judging from the results of the first half, his performance was obviously unsatisfactory, and there was nothing wrong with him on the offensive end, scoring a total of 16 points in the half, which was a good performance, but on the defensive end, it was a little far behind.

Whether it was against Jin Feng or Leonard, they were easily scored by the opponent.

Head coach D'Antoni didn't say anything, but Harden knew he had to show in the second half, and even if he couldn't play defensively, it would be a perfect performance if he could lead the team to victory in the end.

At halftime, in the Rockets locker room, Harden thought so silently in his heart.

The third quarter of the game started quickly, as the league's famous "old stubborn", it was clear that D'Antoni would not give up the tactical play of the first half of the game, so, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets shot three-pointers as always, of course, unlike the first half, they also put more effort on the defensive end.

On the Spurs' side, perhaps they have already gotten what they want, Popovich has returned to the team's usual play, among them, starting with defense.

The Spurs' defensive intensity is gradually improving, but the Rockets' offense is as sharp as ever, especially James Harden, which completely shows his strong individual ability to compete for the regular season MVP this season.

Three-pointer step-back, and it's safe to assume that no one else in the league today uses it better than Harden.

This move, Harden seems to be able to use it freely, even in the face of Jin Feng and Leonard, two defensive giants, he can steadily integrate the basketball into the basket.

As Harden said in an interview show, when it comes to singles ability, no one in this league is my opponent today, and no one can really stop me.

Harden is undoubtedly the heart of the Rockets' attack, and once he shoots it completely, it means that the perfect bombardment Rockets that D'Antoni is looking for will appear.

Throughout the third quarter, the Rockets' offense flowed smoothly and played more and more smoothly, and the Spurs, although they increased their defensive intensity from the beginning of the third quarter, failed to limit the Rockets' offense, and the Rockets scored 37 points in a single quarter, and what is even more terrifying than this is that the Spurs suddenly lost on the offensive end, and almost everyone suddenly felt nothing.

So, at the end of the third quarter, they trailed the Rockets by 15 points.

That's right, it's 15 points.

From leading by 3 points at halftime to trailing by 15 points at the end of the third quarter, it can be said that for the Spurs, it was from heaven to hell.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Popovich did not choose to give up, and continued to send Jin Feng and their main force to play, and the Rockets were naturally all the main forces to face the game, although the Spurs performed very well on the offensive end in the fourth quarter, but they could not stand the 15-point hole dug in the third quarter.

In the end, with 2 minutes left before the end of the game, the Spurs trailed the Rockets by 14 points, and Popovich withdrew the main force one after another, which was considered to have given up the game.

However, Popovich did not replace Jin Feng, but continued to stay on the field, perhaps, the old man was also to meet the long-awaited picture of the fans.

D'Antoni was also very interested here, replacing Harden and other main players one after another, and at the same time, in the midst of the tsunami of many Chinese fans at the scene, Zhou Qi was replaced on the court.

"Haha, it's coming, it's finally here, Jin Feng and Zhou Qi appeared on the NBA court at the same time," Yang Yi said very excitedly.

"Although this is garbage time that is good to say and unpleasant, at least we have seen that the coaches of both sides are happy to be beautiful" Su Qun also echoed on the side.

Toyota Center, Jin Feng also showed a knowing smile after seeing Zhou Qi on the field, working hard in a foreign country, he knew in his heart what a difficult journey this was, and he could imagine that Zhou Qi on the other side was obviously under much more pressure than him at the moment.

In just 2 minutes, the atmosphere of the scene did not become dull because it was garbage time, but continued to be hot.

"Toot"

In the end, the game ended, and Zhou Qi got 2 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist in only 2 minutes of playing time, which is not bad.

128:116, in the end, in this strong conversation, Rocket had the last laugh.

However, fans who watched this game know that to a certain extent, Spurs did not play their style in this game.

From the relaxed expressions of the Spurs players after the game, it can be seen that they are not too concerned about the loss of this game.

"Big Demon King, keep working hard, I believe you will definitely fight" After the game, Jin Feng and Zhou Qi also greeted each other again.

"That's it, obviously, the night didn't belong to us, they played better, and of course, I'm happy with my players, everybody saw it, these kids just didn't hit some shots, a long season, one or two games doesn't prove anything"

Not to mention that Popovich is an old slippery head, he showed a determination to attach great importance to this game before the game, but now he shows an indifferent expression, perhaps, no one in this world can figure out what this old man is thinking.

…………

After the game against the Rockets, the Spurs returned to San Antonio overnight with back-to-back home games the next day.

And when Jin Feng dragged his tired body back to the mansion at midnight, he instantly looked like a thief who was about to be caught by the police, and suddenly panicked, because he saw Rana Dave Ajiali in his mansion, and what was even more terrifying was that she was staying with Lin Lei............
