After speaking, he immediately pointed at Brewer and said: "Corey, the task of defending Harden is left to you, no matter what, lock him up!" ”

Tang Shuai and Brewer both nodded.

Cassel double-checked, and then took out the tactics board and began to lay out the tactics.

After the timeout, Paul advanced to the front court with the ball, reached out and made a "3" tactical gesture.

As soon as this gesture was made, Brewer and Tang Shuai followed and ran towards the basket.

Compared with Brewer, Tang Shuai's ability in this area is obviously stronger, and the tacit understanding with his teammates is also higher, catching Smith's blocking, he received Paul's pass after he came out, and raised his hand to make a three-point shot.

Harden had just run two steps away from the three-point line at this time, and saw that Tang Shuai had already made a move, so he just stretched out his hand and signaled, and then turned back to look at the rebound.

With a "bang", Tang Shuai's three-point shooter rose and fell and hit steadily.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Billstaff got up from his seat, and the obvious fact was that Harden didn't keep up with Tang Shuai, but he didn't go directly to Harden, but kept making circles in mid-air with his hands, and then shouted at the team: "Block and dismantle!" Watch out for pick-and-roll! Change the guard faster! ”

For Harden's indulgence on the defensive end, although McHale has been discharged, Billstaff seems to be the same.

Because the Rockets just replaced Thorton, Harden is playing the small forward position at this time, and opposite him is Brewer, who has just been traded from the Rockets.

This change of team will play his old club, and Brewer's luck is not to be said.

Brewer's defense is still very good, and his principle is to reduce Harden's catches as little as possible. Then as soon as Harden has the ball, he will press the foot defense, and when he really gets to the basket, he will raise his hands high. On the one hand, he signaled that he did not foul, and on the other hand, he tried to interfere with Harden's shooting point with both hands.

And one more point. Brewer was originally on the same team as Harden, and aside from his defensive ability, he is more familiar with Harden than everyone else on the Clippers, and knows everything thoroughly about what situations he will break through and when he will choose to shoot.

So after the matchup, Harden's offensive ability can be said to be greatly reduced, and even the foul has not been successful several times.

Harden is the absolute core of the Rockets' offense, accounting for almost half of the team's offensive opportunities. As soon as he was suppressed, the offense of the entire Rockets became extremely difficult.

But looking back, Harden's semi-abandonment defense to save physical strength gave the Clippers, especially Tang Shuai, an opportunity.

The Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai came out to receive Paul's pass, and Motai Yunas, who flew out to make up for the defense, accelerated into the basket, which was directly a Maddy-style dry pull.

Picturesque pose. With a "swish", the dry pull hit steadily!

Harden was standing two steps away from him, and he just stretched out his hand, not at all meaning to pounce.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar. Tang Shuai was not able to play in the last game, so even if he performed well, Houston fans did not remember him much. They may not have imagined that a rookie would come on the court and score consecutive points. It's like the first tackling point.

The Rockets' offense was still struggling, and Harden's step-back was ultimately cut off by Brewer's high-pressure defense. After the rebound was grabbed by Smith, it was directly given to Paul, Paul advanced to the front court with the ball, and gave it to Tang Shuai, who was fast attacking.

At this time, Harden's defense is still in place, and he is still close to the side when Tang Shuai is fast attacking.

Tang Shuai saw that Harden was on defense, and did not stop, when he scanned Harden's skill package before, he knew that Harden's defensive package was only basket-colored, coupled with the odd difference defensive habits he had developed, there was no need to stop this ball at all.

Tang Shuai controlled the ball in the fast break, and when he was close to the basket, he directly made a rough foot bag, followed by a guard Bryant hook bag.

He had predicted the position in advance, and when it came to the hook under the basket, Harden only had time to pull it with his hand, and finally failed to interfere.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blew, and Harden took advantage of the foul on the offensive end, and he couldn't dodge it on the defensive end at this time.

"Huh!"

After the whistle blew, Tang Shuai's elegant hook at close range hit steadily.

2+1！

Tang Shuai beat his chest excitedly after scoring the goal, and then waved his arms fiercely at the audience.

He's using it to boost the morale of his team, and it's a must-have for the team away from home.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, they were just surprised just now, but at this moment, they suddenly found that Tang Shuai was like a male lion with an unattractive appearance, and when they opened their mouths, they found that it was full of hideous fangs.

Harden spread his hands helplessly at this time, and he didn't even have the idea of going to the referee theory.

Tang Shuai walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw in the midst of a boo from the fans.

Hitting this free throw, in the second half of the first quarter, he has already scored 8 points, and he has only been up for less than three minutes, and Harden's defensive slackness can be seen.

With less than two minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Bilstaff replaced Harden with Terry and Capela with Morris.

The Clippers have also made personnel changes, and the newly traded Booker and Big White Aldridge have also replaced Paul and Jordan Jr.

With this adjustment, Tang Shuai moved to the point guard position, and the person in the opposite position became last season's All-Star guard Tate. Lawson.

Lawson was sold to the Rockets by the Nuggets because of his addiction to alcohol, and the Rockets thought they had picked up a big bargain, but after the transaction, it was found that Lawson was not only in a bad state as before, but also had a big problem with the team's run-in, and now he has become the team's substitute.

Tang Shuai scanned it with the packaging system, Lawson's previous strength is still there, there is an exclusive breakthrough package, but unfortunately it is also a weakened version now, and it is much worse than the current Tang Shuai in terms of strength, especially the power pack, I don't know if it is because of alcoholism, it has degenerated to the green elderly version of the skill pack, you must know that his normal version is the purple top!

Tang Shuai didn't waste such an opportunity, after arriving in the front court, he directly wanted to hold the ball in the low position, and while observing the defense, he played inward, and directly squeezed Lawson away with a general foot, and easily scored 2 points, which was also his 10th point in this quarter.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and Bill Staff was also silent with his chin dragged, as if he didn't expect Tang Shuai to break out so suddenly.
