I'll take you under the knife!

"Roar——!!!

After completing the beautiful one-handed gliding dunk, Harden was arrogant, and after landing, he turned around and glared at Gu Yu fiercely, and then roared at the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center.

“YEAAAAAAH——！！！”

The home team fans naturally like Harden very much, after all, Harden is the first Rockets to have since Yao Mai, and he has the potential to become a signature player. Seeing Harden's wonderful performance, the entire Toyota Center was like being bombed, and cheers poured in.

“JAMES！ JAMES！ JAMES！ JAMES！！！ ”

If it weren't for the fact that this was the Rockets vs. Kings game, if it weren't for the Rockets logo in the center of the court being so conspicuous, the fans who had just turned on the TV heard the shouts of the fans at the scene, I am afraid they would have thought that they were watching the Heat game!

"Beautiful......!"

On the side of the commentary stage, the three living treasures who had mixed reviews of Harden just now were also excited by Harden's performance, and Barkley glared with fat eyes: "James Harden, this offseason must have been stimulated, and the Finals last season may have become a strong motivation for him." After a hard summer of training, the attacking firepower shown at the beginning of this season is really staggering! ”

And all fans know that what is really scary about Harden is not just his offensive firepower.

“…… While! ”

"Yo! Missed shot! My cousin's opening game today looks average, and he missed the basket with his first shot! The rebound was protected by Harden, and Asik's card position was very beautiful! Harden holds the ball and pushes the fast break!! ”

Known as the "slow attack", Harden's characteristic advancement, although not very fast, has a different sense of power.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suppressing his speed, Harden did not rush forward, but kept scanning the whole court with his eyes.

On either wing, the Rockets' flanks have rushed out, and Parsons and Jeremy Lin are not super fast players, but they have very good brains. The fast-break route chosen by the two was extremely bewitching, and they even had a crossover near the three-point line in the frontcourt.

"Bang bang!"

With a sharp stop at his feet, Harden's body was lifted up, and Gu Yu, who was finally coming back to defend in front of him, was driven by this action, and his feet involuntarily lifted up a little.

“…… Bang! ”

Breakthrough!

"Breakthrough! Harden broke through !! Directly attacking the basket, Evans on the Kings' side came to make up for it, and Harden wanted to shoot...... Passing the Outside !! ”

"Whoosh——!!"

Harden's fake pass sent the ball out of his side with one hand, his eyes looked in Parsons' direction, but the basketball in his hand flew 30 degrees to the other side.

Jeremy Lin, stand still to catch the ball.

"Whew"

Three-point shot!

"Jeremy Lin's three-point shot...... Medium!! ”

“NIIIIIIIICE——！！！”

Three-point hitting, Jeremy Lin felt good today, not too good at catching and shooting, and high-fived Harden who came back to defense.

The Rockets have two ghosts in the backcourt, and the offense is like a tide!

"Beautiful transition between offense and defense!"

Smith also praised Harden's choice: "James Harden's choice is quite exquisite, using his offensive threat, picking up his cousin and then breaking through the basket, attracting the defense and then sending a pass to assist his teammates to shoot three-point shots from the outside, which is a textbook-level fast-break option!" ”

"And unlike Nash's extreme push speed, Harden knows how to control the rhythm very well!"

O'Neal, who has always had a little opinion on Nash's MVP, never hid his opinion of his old teammates, and said: "Every step of Harden has been calculated, there is no deviation, before he starts to push the offense, he has already thought about what to do next, how to do it, this is the idea of planning and then acting, it is Jason Kidd, Stockton-level control strength!" ”

Although it is a bit too much, in the face of an opponent at the level of the Kings, the Rocket version of Harden, does have the ability to say so.

This point was also revealed in the subsequent competitions.

"The Kings gave the ball to Cousins, and Cousins hit it with his back and wanted to use his strength to eat hard...... But you can't stand Asik!! Hasty hook ...... Miss! Harden's rebounding !! ”

After another rebound, Harden turned on the spot and dribbled forward with his left hand again.

Damn, chase ......!

Gu Yu was shown off by Harden just now, and he was unhappy in his heart, seeing that Harden still wanted to repeat his old tricks, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

But Harden, with his feet in jerk.

"Bang Bang"

Crotch dribble, followed by ......

“…… Break through the !! ”

Crush with power!

After several seasons of training, Harden's upper body strength has reached the top level of the league's outside line. Leaning sideways on his shoulder, Gu Yu was directly knocked away like a piece of paper.

With his center of gravity down, Harden pushed the fast break again, like a heavy car still using an old-fashioned diesel engine, wearing the armor of an armored car, and crushed it all the way like a tank.

…… I can't catch up!

Gu Yu was behind Harden, chasing with all his might, but as long as the bodies of the two sides had the slightest contact, Gu Yu would be directly bounced away, and there was no chance of catching up.

Three seconds later.

"Rub ...... Bang!!! ”

James Harden, another fast-break dunk scored!!

"Good Ball !!"

Harden's continuous fast-break thunder performance made the three commentators G tide one after another, and all of them couldn't help clapping: "In the first three minutes, Harden has already scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and he has crushed his cousin both offensively and defensively!" I am afraid this game will be a watershed in the careers of the two people in the future! ”

Last season, Gu Yu, as a rising star, has gradually overtaken Harden on the topic of "who is the first quartile in the future" because of his extremely explosive scoring performance, and has become the leader of the new generation of second-ranked players in the league.

You say it's because Harden doesn't have enough room to play as the sixth man, or because Gu Yu's explosive style of play takes advantage of the visual experience. In short, whether it is from the perspective of data or court performance, Gu Yu has overtaken Harden by half a head, there is no doubt about it.

However, at the beginning of the new season, Harden's explosive performance finally allowed fans who supported Harden to find a foothold. Although Gu Yu on the opposite side is also constantly exploding, considering comprehensive data such as rebounds, assists, steals, etc., Harden has come to a level where he can be on an equal footing with Gu Yu.

Even, because Harden is already the only star of the Rockets, and Gu Yu has two future stars Evans and Cousins working hard together, people will feel that Gu Yu is Harden who was in the Thunder back then, and he is accompanied by a master, so he has room for performance. It's just that because of the scoring style of play, the data is more eye-catching.

From this point of view, some ball critics and experts have determined that in terms of pure strength, Harden is stronger than Gu Yu.

Not to mention the difference in physical fitness between the two, in the NBA, where the body is the first foundation, Harden's future development prospects seem to be much brighter than Gu Yu.

After all, Gu Yu's technical flow always has an end, and when his physical upper limit has reached and he can't continue to undertake more difficult techniques, the era of Harden is coming.

Before today's game, someone has already said that the confrontation between the two in previous seasons does not count, and in today's game, who can lead the team to win, who can have a more exciting performance, the future, is who's.

And judging from the performance in the first few minutes, Harden is undoubtedly superior.

Or rather, crushing.

“…… It's Harden again! Three points to win! The Rockets' lead is almost in double digits!! ”

"Beautiful!"

On the court, the Kings missed the offense again, and Harden ran aggressively on the offensive end, receiving Parsons' breakaway point and scoring a three-pointer from the outside.

And the Kings ......

"To my cousin! The Kings finally made a killer move, directly to their cousin, singled out Harden! ”

The most important moment finally came, and both the Rockets fans and the Kings fans stood up at this time, staring at the arena intently, and did not dare to make a sound at all.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Gu Yu's expression was serious, and he exchanged his left and right hands to dribble, constantly looking for opportunities to cut in. Recalling a summer of hard work, aiming at Harden's weakness of being overweight and slow, trying to make a fuss about the breakthrough.

"Bang Bang"

Dribbling under his crotch, his body swinging sharply, Gu Yu's figure slightly lost his form in front of Harden, and suddenly leaned forward half a step, causing Harden to retreat sharply.

Shooting!

I thought about breaking through, but Harden's retreat gave Gu Yu enough space, and the opportunity must not be lost and not come again, Gu Yu didn't think about it anymore, and he was about to make a move.

On the flanks, a white-skinned figure rushed over.

"Whew", "Rub"

The moment the basketball was shot, the white man suddenly jumped, and with an explosive power that is extremely rare among white players, he jumped to the highest point in an instant, stretched forward with one hand, and lightly touched the bottom of the high-speed spinning basketball.

…… Chandler Parsons ?!!

Gu Yu was shocked, he didn't expect Parsons to have such amazing judgment, the route of the basketball was completely messed up, the arc was extremely embarrassing, flew high to the height of the rebound, knocked on the board, and fell in the direction that he didn't know.

Under the basket

"Smack!"

Omar Asik, rebound!

"Perfect defensive coordination!!"

The Rockets' extremely rare defensive end cooperation, Gu Yuzhi's inevitable shot was interfered with, and the rebound was controlled, the Rockets slowed down the pace, and Jeremy Lin stepped forward to catch the ball and slowly advanced.

“…… Why is the shooting speed slow?? ”

Gu Yu, who had made a move, frowned, and while returning to the defense, he recalled the details of the shot just now.

Why?

Why does the speed of the shot seem to be ...... slower than before??

"James......!"

"Whoosh!"

Without waiting for Gu Yu to figure it out, Jeremy Lin had already seized the opportunity and sent the ball out of his chest with both hands to Harden in the ribs.

Gu Yu hurriedly chased after him, but Harden made a beautiful cross step on the spot, and under the change of rhythm, he threw Gu Yu away directly.

Then he sent it high with one hand.

“…… Bang——!!! ”

Relay in the air! Parsons cut in from the basket and scored in the air!!

James Harden, control the game ......!
