"Oklahoma City Thunder, request substitution!"

"Cousin, you're so handsome! The ball just now is simply a slot, that arc, it is estimated that the camera can't keep up! ”

"Saab Safrosha, No. 13, James Harden plays!"

"And that toss! Eh, cousin, when did you practice such a high arc?? Teach us ...... too"

"Wait. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Here, the Kings players were still surrounding Gu Yu, talking excitedly.

Beside the players, Westphal heard the technical station broadcast and reached out to stop the players' frolic.

Harden, ...... at this point in time?

"James, that guy ......"

"I know."

Safrosa sat on the bench dejectedly, wanting to take care of Harden, who was about to play, and defend Gu Yu's focus. Harden waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Strong offensive awareness, coquettish running, decisive shots, is a good material for scoring." ”

"Oh, that's right!"

Safrosa sighed and said, "The key is that kid's scoring methods are much richer than in the previous video!" WHAT THE HELL SCOUT REPORT, DOESN'T IT SAY THAT HE WILL ONLY RUN TO CATCH CATCH-AND-SHOOT? Damn, everything came just now, and the throwing is also accurate! ”

"If he didn't have two brushes, an old coach like Westphall wouldn't have been able to develop offensive tactics specifically for him."

Harden was very calm, unaffected by Safrosa's frustration, and looked at Gu Yu with both eyes: "Although this kid's body is very bad, I guess I can dribble and dunk enough." But this kind of cunning shooter is the most difficult to deal with, especially when the whole team is covering for him, and it is basically impossible to completely restrain him. ”

In the case that a texture came.

Harden didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"That's why I said, you have to be careful!"

Safrosa is a few years older and more experienced than Harden, and although he is not as talented as Harden, he still advises: "It's useless to just pester him, you have to find a way to squeeze through the cover and interfere with his rhythm at the first time." ”

"It's not about the pace."

Harden didn't appreciate it, shook his head and said: "This guy's scoring doesn't depend on the shooting rhythm at all, he ...... is an atypical shooter. ”

Atypical shooter?

Harden's words made even Brooks look sideways.

What does that mean?

"When you were playing against him on the pitch, I was looking at his attacking options. It would be easy if he was just a shooter, and like you said, find a way to disrupt his rhythm and you can make him miss his crosshairs. But the problem is, there is no pattern to this guy's shots. ”

As he spoke, Harden gestured at the scoring methods that Gu Yu had used just now, and continued: "Mid-range shooting, high arc, throwing, emergency stop and turn to shoot, leaning forward, leaning back, shooting when catching the ball, and shooting with your hands after running quickly...... No matter what posture or condition, this guy can complete the shot. You could have interfered with his offense before, purely because of the superiority of physical fitness. ”

"What do you mean......" Safrosa frowned.

"Although this guy's movements are very standard, his choice of shots is not standard at all. If you want me to say, this guy is not a traditional shooter like Alan Houston, but ......"

Jason Terry.

In Harden's head, the name popped up.

And Van Exel, Reggie Miller and many more.

Gu Yu is a convulsive player, and when the hand feels coming, it is impossible for any god to stop it in front of him, in other words.

"Master of Chaos......

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, the players return to the pitch and the game continues!

"James!"

As soon as the Thunder kicked off, they simply did not give the ball to backup point guard Eric Maynor, but directly let Harden control the ball.

"Cousin, keep an eye on it!"

On the King's side, personnel adjustments have also been made, most of the starters have been replaced, and the lineup on the court is now Youdri, Gu Yu, Cosby, Whiteside, and Dyreham Porter.

"Got it!"

According to the counterpoint, Gu Yu is facing Harden.

Under normal circumstances, most teams are dominated by the No. 1 player, that is, the point guard, who dominates the ball, launches offense, and formulates tactics, while the No. 2 position is basically the world of scorers, shooters, and defensive strongmen.

In that case, although Gu Yu's defense was not effective, the problem was not too big. Because the people he wants to defend are basically finishers, Gu Yu just needs to find a way to keep up and interfere with the opponent's shot as much as possible.

And Gu Yu's defense is not good, it is something that Westfaal expected, on Gu Yu's head, it is normal to score some points by the opponent's No. 2 position, and other players must help Gu Yu make up for defense and wrap at any time.

But now, things have changed.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Worst......!

Watching Harden slowly dribble at the top of the arc, and Gu Yu stretched out his hands in front of him to defend as much as he could, the old coach was a little uneasy.

The No. 1 position has always been one of the defensive cores of a team (the other core is generally the interior, and the No. 5 center is the main), so to speak, the defensive ability of the point guard will greatly determine the defensive ceiling of a team.

The reason is simple, the offensive starting point of any team is generally the number one position. If the No. 1 position is blown up by the opponent, then the opposing point guard can pass the ball as he wants, organize and attack, and the team's defensive line will be completely torn and broken.

Many fans feel that the defensive ability of the point guard is not important, which is actually a misunderstanding. The No. 1 position is facing the opponent's ball carrier, the attacking initiator. If you can't strangle the opponent at the first point, or at least limit the opponent, then it is not strange that the defense of the whole team will collapse.

As for the strength of the defense in other positions, generally speaking, it doesn't matter that much, after all, the people you defend are finishers, and you can't defend yourself, and your teammates make up for it, right?

And if a teammate needs to defend the No. 1 position, the finisher will be free, and a few simple transmissions on the opposite side can create a killing chance, which is a devastating blow to a team's overall defense.

This is also why, they are all star point guards, and Nash's team, even with Bell and Marion, is still a defensive colander. And Kidd's team, even if there are not many top defensive giants, is still the reason for the defensive powerhouse.

Of course, if you are facing a superstar like LeBron James, Maddy, and Chen Mu, who is not playing the No. 1 position, but has organizational attributes, it is a different matter.

Originally, Gu Yu's defensive weaknesses were hidden under his positional attributes, which were not so conspicuous. In the previous games, Gu Yu's performance was abnormal, and it was also on the offensive end, and the defensive problems were not exposed.

And now, Harden's style of play, which is actually the No. 1 position, can fundamentally destroy the Kings' already poor defense.

“…… Bang! ”

Here it comes!

Harden dribbled with his left hand, and suddenly accelerated sideways, Gu Yu knew that the opponent was not good at his defense, so he was ready to attack, and hurriedly moved half a step sideways to block.

however

"Bang bang bang!"

This physical strength ......?!!

“…… Passed! ”

Crush!

Harden barely made much effort, just a simple sideways acceleration breakthrough, and Gu Yu was completely crushed.

"I'm coming!"

Whiteside hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, and before the long arm could be extended, Harden had already made a quick stop, and used his back to push the chasing Gu Yu away, opening his hand to make a mid-range shot.

"Huh"

Middle!

“…… What a ball!! ”

The Ford Center, which had been silent for a long time, finally erupted again. With Harden's indifferent defense, all the Thunder fans were shouting loudly.

"Damn, the physical strength is too bad......!"

Gu Yu knew that he was bound to be deflated, and he wanted to get it back on the offensive end. But Harden is stronger than Safrosa, and he constantly uses his body to exert force during the march, making Gu Yu's running extremely difficult.

"Dang!"

Seeing that Gu Yu couldn't get a chance, Yu Deli had no choice but to choose a personal assault, and when he shot under the basket, he was interfered with and failed to hit.

"Smack!"

James Harden flew to his feet, rebounded the ball, and then ......

"Bang bang!"

Turn around and break through!

"Cousin resist! I'm in the back, it's okay to let him in!! ”

Da Baibian learned to be obedient this time, and after watching Gu Yu being run over by Harden almost in one step, he simply stepped forward half a step forward and stopped in front of Harden in the middle distance.

With a "bang", Harden handed the basketball in his hand to his right hand with a forward change of direction, and took the first step with the ball in both hands.

Want to go to the basket!

Bai Bian saw it really, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity to the left side to block Harden's right hand.

In the next second, Harden, as well as Harden's beard, disappeared in front of Bai Yan's eyes.

"People...... What about people......??? ”

"Huh!"

Behind the white side, the basketball goes into the net.

“…… Euro Euro Euro Europe Step !! Good ball!!! ”

James Harden, Euro plays Whiteside, scores on a layup.

"The technology is so good......!"

On the side of the media seat, Xiao Yu also sweated for Gu Yu.

Although Harden is only a sophomore rookie, his technical movements and physical completion are already at the level of an old ball. Gu Yu's defense can't even be held by ordinary players, let alone Harden.

And it was from this moment that James Harden, with his thickening beard, launched a merciless hunt.

The defense steals Yudri's overly deliberate pass, speeds up to the frontcourt, makes a sharp stop at the three-point line, and chases down for three points after shaking off Gu Yu.

Middle!

The high post called for cover, and after borrowing, he faced Daimam Porter, who was on the back, and hit the ground with a left hand, and his teammates dunked easily under the basket.

Middle!

Turning around to carry the basket in the middle distance, his right hand feint to fly Gu Yu a little, and bully himself to the basket and lay up with a low hand.

Middle!

“FEAR-THE-BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD――！！！”

With the shouts of the live DJ, Harden was like entering a no-man's land to get what he wanted, and Gu Yu, who was playing, couldn't find the north at all.

Is it enough?

Dribbling the ball again, listening to the uniform shouts of the fans in the audience, Harden looked at Gu Yu in front of him.

", come on!"

Gu Yu gritted his teeth and sat down with his waist low, not at all timid.

It's not enough.

Harden knew that it was not enough to defeat Gu Yu.

This hairstyle brother is a fighter, the more frustrated he is, the more courageous he is, and if he wants to defeat him, he has to make a psychological fuss.

So......

"Whoosh!"

When Harden suddenly lifted the ball, Gu Yufei rushed forward and reached out to cover it.

Harden's left hand paused deliberately, then stretched forward and got stuck under Gu Yu's arm.

The moment the two made arm contact, Harden made a move.

"Beep beep !! Kings No. 22, defensive foul !! ”
