Chapter 276: Destroy the rocket
After the Rockets' players were deflated in a row, James Harden, who is the ace of the Rockets, immediately stepped up and was ready to boost morale with goals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of Jack Crowder, Harden used flexible footsteps to rush to the basket, with Harden's experience in making fouls, Crowder did not face the opponent for physical contact, but kept retreating, leaving a certain amount of space to prevent the opponent from making fouls, after all, Harden, who has rich experience in physical contact, is far stronger than himself in this regard!
Harden is not a vegetarian, after growing from the third of the Thunder to the boss of the Rockets, with the dominance of the ball, his ball skills and self-confidence are also growing day by day, and when he saw Crowder retreating, Harden immediately threw the ball to the basket with one hand.
With a "snap", Ye Hai, who came from behind Harden to make up the defense, slapped Harden's calmly projectile and blocked it, which happened to cover Crowder's arms!
Crowder passed the ball to Smart, and the Celtics immediately launched a counterattack, Ye Hai, who made a blocking action, immediately turned around and sprinted to the front court after landing, and Harden, who was stealed, also rarely participated in the defense immediately!
"Bastard, actually got a rookie hat!" Harden, who is obsessed with being the king of Houston, hasn't paid much attention to Ye Hai, who has been in the limelight recently!
In front of Beverley's defense, Smart threw the ball to the left, and Harden immediately jumped up when he saw this, ready to destroy the pass in the air!
Smart's pass seemed to be a little low, and it was barely caught by Harden, who jumped high in the air, with both hands in the air!
At this moment, everyone present thought at the same time: Oh my God, Harden actually made an active and successful defense!
But after a moment, their perception was changed!
"This ball is mine!"
With a shout in his ear, Harden felt a shadow over him.
Ye Hai, who jumped in the air with all his strength, jumped a head higher than Harden! Behind Harden, Ye Hai snatched the basketball that he was not fully in control from Harden's hand directly in the air, and then with the gliding of his body, he poured the ball into the basket with both hands!
Due to a ball-grabbing action with Ye Hai in the air, Harden, who lost his center of gravity, fell heavily to the ground! A painful expression immediately appeared on Harden's face!
In fact, Harden doesn't know that if he didn't have a "diligent dribble" in the early morning, but had enough rest, then in fact, he could jump higher and control the ball well, and there would be no scene where Ye Hai grabbed the ball and dunked, and he lost his center of gravity and fell!
Harden seems to be injured a lot, plus he fought hard in the early morning, his physical condition was not good, and he was helped back to the locker room by Gordon and Decker, and has not played again since then! After Harden was injured, it not only affected the Rockets' offense, but also cast a shadow on Beverley, who is known for his ruthlessness, as long as he stood on the court, Beverley's eyes seemed to see Smart's smiling face!
In the starting backcourt of the Rockets, they either went off the court due to injury, or because of the affected mentality, the Rockets' performance was greatly reduced, and the Celtics overtook the score in one fell swoop!
Harden's downplay also released Jack Crowder's offense, Stevens simply sacrificed a small lineup again, with Horford playing center, and Jack Crowder being directly promoted from the No. 2 position to the No. 4 position!
The Celtics began to play fast offense and defense with the 7-second offensive style that the Rockets do best! But this time, the Rockets were battered by the Celtics' offense! Before the rocket in the space city took off, it was shot down by the Celts!
There was no suspense in the second half, Horford, Yahai, and Paul went off the court early, and the lineup of Tyler Zeller, Kelly Olynyk, Jack Crowder, Gerard Green, and Marcus Smart was still playing vigorously on the court!
When the final whistle blew, the Celtics defeated the Rockets with a score of 105-88, D'Antoni shook his head, thinking that the team is not easy to lead! Although I know that Harden is still walking two sexy beauties from a nightclub in the early hours of this morning, but as the only superstar of the team, D'Antoni still dares to be angry, as the cash cow of the Rockets' signature, D'Antoni knows that the stability of his position is closely related to Harden's good impression of himself, and the first few coaches who tried to change Harden were not driven away in the end?
D'Antoni looked at the data sheet of this game and thought: "Well, Ariza only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting in the game, while Harden had 15 points and 5 assists in the first half, it seems that this pot can only be wronged by Ariza today." ”
At the end of the game, several Rockets celebrities in the VIP seat had a heated discussion.
Olajuwon: "It's no fun for the Rockets to play like this, and it's really a mistake to let Howard go!" ”
Drexler: "At the very least, Howard should be traded for a good center, and it's amazing how much the Rockets let the Monster go for nothing. ”
Mutombo: "Yao, I heard that a young Chinese center might come to the Rockets next year, is that true? ”
Yao Ming: "Maybe, if everything goes well, he may bring his talent here, Rui Ke is currently the most powerful young player in China, I believe his ceiling is much higher than mine." ”
Maddie: "The level of the league is really not good right now, and the Rockets still have a long way to go. ”
After the game between the Celtics and the Rockets, Ye Hai and Yao Ming met in the locker room, and when Yao Ming's tall figure appeared in the Celtics' locker room, it caused a commotion. Paul and Horford, who had met Yao Ming, greeted Yao Ming one after another, and the young players who had never had close contact with Yao Ming, some looked at Yao Ming's tall figure with a stunned expression, and some quickly found a pen and paper, waiting for Yao Ming's autograph like a fan.
After exchanging several economic contracts and advertising endorsements with Ye Hai, Yao Ming and Ye Hai talked about the men's basketball Asian Cup held in August 2018, and the Chinese Basketball Association hopes that all players competing in the NBA can return to China and participate in the Asian Cup, so they asked Yao Ming to come to the United States in person to communicate with various players.
It is a supreme honor to be able to win glory for the country, Ye Hai naturally agreed, and Yao Ming patted Ye Hai's shoulder happily.
Before leaving, Ye Hai didn't hold back and asked Yao Ming: "Da Yao, if you know that if you don't return to China to participate in the game, you can prolong your sports life in the NBA, do you regret that you often represent the Chinese men's basketball team?" ”
Yao Ming shook his head, smiled, and said: "As the strongest player in the Chinese men's basketball team, I have this obligation to win glory for the country!" Yao Ming pointed to his chest, and then said, "As long as the Chinese flag is printed here, I will always wait for the call of the country!" ”
Watching Yao Ming walk out of the locker room, Ye Hai felt that Yao Ming was tall not only because of his extraordinary height, but also because his image was also extremely tall and imprinted in his mind!
The 2018 Men's Basketball Asian Cup, formerly known as the Men's Asian Basketball Championship, was renamed the Asian Cup after the 28th and last Asian Championship was held in Changsha in 2015. In the rematch of this Asian Cup, there are 2 groups and 12 teams, divided into Group A and Group B, and the top three teams in each group and a final fourth place will advance to the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup. The top three finishers in this Asian Cup will qualify directly for the Olympic Games, and the fourth place will qualify for the Olympic qualifying tournament and compete with the fourth place in North America for a place in the Olympic Games.
It is worth mentioning that starting from this Asian Cup, the two Oceanian teams of Australia and New Zealand have also joined the competition for places in the Asian Cup Olympic Games! It also means that it is even harder to qualify for the Olympics!
After Ye Hai agreed, Che Yicheng, who played for the Knicks, Xu Zhibin, who played for the Timberwolves, and Liu Hao, who played for the Spurs, nodded one after another, willing to join the Chinese national men's basketball team to compete in the 2018 Asian Cup! (To be continued.) )
