Chapter 342: Second Victory

Harden knew that Wang Cannon's explosion was strong and the bounce was very good, but he still didn't expect that in that case, Wang Cannon could interfere with his shooting.

The basketball deviated directly from the direction of the basket, fell early, and was taken into Gasol's arms, and then Gasol passed the ball to Wang Cannon, who controlled the ball and ran directly towards the Rockets' backcourt.

Seeing this, Howard immediately felt a pain.

You have a good burst and can provide good fast movement over short distances, but that doesn't mean you're really good at speed! Especially when facing a guy like Wang Cannon, this kind of running distance is a little long, and he was completely thrown off ten streets by Wang Cannon!

At the thought of this, Howard didn't even have the desire to catch up.

It turned out that his idea was correct, and when Wang Cannon quickly rushed to the Rockets' inside dunk, even Parsons, who had the fastest replay speed, was just chasing a step or so inside the three-point line.

One of Wang Cannon's fast attacks was not taken to heart by the rockets, after all, in a whole game, such a thing happened definitely not once or twice.

But for Harden, it's not that simple.

Because Wang Cannon is defending himself! Which block just now has made Harden understand that in front of Wang Cannon, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get benefits.

After all, even James, Durant and Kobe, the league's top scorers, will be limited in front of Wang Cannon's defense.

Harden is confident that his current scoring ability is not weaker than those guys, but he is not conceited that he has surpassed those guys.

Therefore, the defense of Wang Cannon's can indeed cause trouble for himself.

Thinking like this in his heart, Harden also seemed a little restrained in the game.

Several successive tentative attacks were forced to give up because of the impermeable defense of Wang Cannon. In this process, Wang Cannon's several attacks were all successful, and the scores of the two people instantly widened the gap.

At this moment, Harden has no mind to compare with Wang Cannon.

"Holy! You're cheating! After finally finding an offensive opportunity to shoot but was interfered with by Wang Cannon, Harden couldn't help but complain.

"It's all an attack, I didn't interfere with you, you interfere with me for Mao?" Harden was very unhappy. In his senses, such a scoring contest is not a fair contest in itself.

But Harden didn't think about it, does he have the defensive ability of Wang Cannon?

Harden's offense is indeed very powerful, but compared to his offense, his defense is very scummy.

Harden is famously a defensive hole, which has been a long-criticized problem for both the Thunder and the Rockets.

As a great player, it is obviously not enough to have a strong offensive hand, Harden's two predecessors. Kobe Bryant and Wade are both scary players with high offensive ability, and their defense is also one of the best in the league.

But Harden is different, Harden's offense may be barely comparable to Kobe Wade, but in terms of defense, there is no shadow of these two predecessors at all.

In fact, it's not so much that Harden is too weak on the defensive end, but rather that Harden doesn't have a high mind on defense.

Yes. Harden doesn't care at all on the defensive end, and many times even when he sees a leak. are too lazy to help defend and make up for it.

He had this kind of problem for a long time, and it has become a habit over time, and even if he wants to change it back, it is very difficult.

So just for this aspect, Harden and Wang Cannon are not at the same level at all, let alone his offensive ability is completely inferior to Wang Cannon.

It is for this reason. When Harden and Wang Cannon cannot be directly aligned, in this way, in the perspective of the audience on the court, Wang Cannon suppressed Harden to death, and Harden was completely powerless.

This made many Rockets fans feel particularly disappointed, they thought. With the modern combination, the Rockets can become one of the top teams in the league, but after playing, I didn't expect that just a Laker with a strong player who only has Wang Dacang can also press the Rockets to play, so what is the point of spending so much money to trade Harden in the first place? What's the use of giving Harden an annual salary of tens of millions a year?

Many people have thought of the many rumors circulating in the league a few years ago, including the news that Wang Cannon may join the Rockets and things like Wang Cannon and Rocket President Morey making a bet.

Once upon a time, Wang Cannon was so close to the arms of the Rockets, but a few years later, he still stayed on other teams, using his talent to beat the players of the Rockets, how sad is this?

Many people are thinking that the Rockets have always had a tradition of Chinese players, whether it is Yao Ming in the past or Jeremy Lin now, they are all Rocket players, and it stands to reason that Wang Cannon should have no reason to refuse the Rockets' kind invitation.

But who would have thought that Wang Cannon would casually join the Lakers, a completely hopeless team, because of revenge and such a thing?

What's even more speechless is that the current Rockets, in the face of this completely hopeless Lakers, are still at a disadvantage, although this is only because of Wang Cannon, but it is enough to make people feel depressed.

The situation of the game has always been on the Lakers' side, perhaps because of the consecutive losses, the Lakers team thinks that they should comfort themselves and the fans with a victory, so not only Wang Dacang, but the other players also played very hard in this game and are in excellent condition.

Gasol is in good shape, and he is also frequently successful on the inside, because not only Gasol and Howard feel uncomfortable, but the Rockets' interior Asik also seems a little at a loss when partnering with Howard, Asik, who has been playing in the center position, suddenly arrived at the power forward position, and naturally he can't adapt quickly, and when facing Gasol, a rare master in the big forward position, he naturally can't be as comfortable as when he was a center.

Not only that, but the Lakers' seemingly dilapidated outside table is also very good, although the main point guard Nash, the main point guard Kobe Bryant and the backup point guard Blake are all unable to play due to injury, but the remaining bench guards are also satisfied with the table of this game, especially the outside three-point firepower is completely opened.

The firepower of the Lakers defeated the Rockets at home and successfully won a hard-won victory, which was also the Lakers' second victory since the start of the season. (To be continued......)
