At the beginning of the game, the Rockets found out that Wang Feng directly approached Harden.

Wang Feng's defensive ability, especially his outside defensive ability, no team in the league will question it, so the Rockets did not let Harden preside over the offense at the beginning, but handed over the ball to Paul to organize the game.

The reason why the Rockets have been able to sing all the way this season is definitely not the reason why Harden has played well alone.

In addition to Harden, Paul, Gordon, Capela, and PJ Tucker are all quite outstanding. Under D'Antoni's magic ball tactical theory, the Rockets' offensive output ability is maximized, and the average points per game in the regular season are second only to the Warriors, and the team's three-point shots are 14 more than the Warriors, who are good at three-point shooting.

Super fast offensive tempo and a large number of three-point shooting, these are the tactical characteristics of the Rockets, and they are affectionately called "X**D" by many fans in China.

Harden didn't shoot much at first, and the offense was all handed over to Paul, Gordon, Ariza and others.

But Wang Feng is the main scorer on the Lakers' side.

On the defensive end, Wang Feng is responsible for marking Harden, while on the offensive end, Wang Feng faces the league's famous 3-and-D player Trevor. Ariza.

Although nicknamed Tieza in China, Ariza has never lost a job since entering the league with his one-handed defense and three-point ability in the NBA.

Ariza, who joined the league in 04, has been running around many teams, and he can get an annual salary of 10 million until 2021, which is enough to prove that high-quality 3D players will definitely not worry about their next home in the league.

It's 2018, Ariza is 33 years old, his body has deteriorated a little, his explosiveness is far less than before, and there is no way to face Wang Feng's breakthrough with the ball.

Wang Feng, who was standing outside the three-point line, didn't need any extra moves, just simply started the breakthrough, and the bonus effect of the golden first step master badge made him easily pass the clumsy Ariza and rush straight into the Rockets basket!

The inside line of the Rockets is Clint. Capela, a standard blue-collar center, has great physical fitness and excellent jumping ability, but his blocking ability can only be regarded as average, and at his best, he only averages 1.9 blocks per game.

Facing Wang Feng who rushed into the basket, Capela could only raise his hands to stop Wang Feng from rushing into the basket.

In the face of Capela's defense, Wang Feng, who had completely rushed up, did not even act as an agent.

Capela is a blue-collar center, but his weight and strength are not in the category of a heavy center, which is why he has good traverse speed and bounce.

Wang Feng's strength is as high as 88, far surpassing Capella, and he has completely increased his speed, why is there any need to avoid the other party?

Taking two steps hard, Wang Feng's whole person rose into the air, and directly pressed Capela to a powerful slap!

"Boom ——!"

The basket trembled violently, demonstrating the power of Wang Feng's dunk.

Wang Feng, who got off to a good start with a slam dunk at the beginning, completely took over the Lakers' offense in the next few minutes.

Hit a mid-range pullup jump shot after breaking through and shaking off Ariza.

One step from beyond the three-point line, a three-point shot is scrambled.

In just a few rounds, Wang Feng scored 7 points in a row and scored all the goals of the Lakers.

On the other hand, on the Rockets' side, Paul relied on a mid-range shot, and Capela used the help of a pick-and-roll cover to catch the ball and eat cake to complete a dunk and score 4 points.

And Harden, the team's No. 1 offensive core, didn't score anything in the first three minutes, not even a single shot.

Gradually, Harden began to take a little bit of a breath.

How can he be said to be the second-highest scoring star and a strong candidate for regular season MVP, how can he remain so invisible in a direct confrontation with Wang Feng?

At 3 minutes and 46 seconds into the first quarter, Harden finally took the initiative to ask for the ball, and held the ball to face Wang Feng's defense, ready to attack with the ball.

When he stood at the top arc with the ball in his hands and faced Wang Feng, Harden suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure rushing to his face.

Wang Feng's position looked quite loose, and his eyes were not sharp, but for a while, Harden couldn't find a flaw, or rather, he had an offensive skill that would be dealt with and defended by Wang Feng no matter what kind of way he used.

This is no longer a technical level, but a spiritual level of suppression!

"Gotta shoot and score this goal!"

Harden knows that if he continues like this, I'm afraid he will really have Wang Feng's phobia!

Continuing to dribble and swing under his crotch, Harden suddenly retreated with his left foot to the ground continuously, and his signature step back jumper shot!

Wang Feng knew that this guy would definitely use this trick to raise his hand to interfere, while keeping a relatively safe distance from the other party and not giving Harden a chance to make a foul.

For Harden, the only thing Wang Feng is afraid of is that he has a magical porcelain touching skill, Wang Feng's strength reaches 88, and the physical confrontation action will inevitably become larger, especially on the defensive end, if he is not careful, he may really be successfully touched by Harden.

Although a certain distance was kept, the effect of raising the hand to interfere was played, and the Purple Hall of Fame-level Defensive Shock Badge was triggered.

Box ——!

Harden's step-back three-point shot missed, and Randle protected the rebound.

The Lakers attacked, and it was Wang Feng again.

Facing Ariza, Wang Feng thought of Harden's step-back three-point step just now, so he followed the cat and drew the tiger, and also made a move to step back for three points at a 45-degree angle on the left three-point line.

But Wang Feng's action is a three-point step back after breaking through a step, the range of action is greater and the deception is higher, but the difficulty of shooting under large movements also increases correspondingly.

In order to defend Wang Feng's breakthrough, Ariza took two steps back, and by the time he stepped forward again to block Wang Feng, it was already too late.

"Brush!"

In Wang Feng's consciousness space, multiple badges shimmered.

Hot Zone Hunter, Marksman, Fast Shooter, Gap Hunter......

With the blessing of a large number of badges, Wang Feng's shooting is easy and freehand, which is in stark contrast to Harden.

The Rockets attacked, and the unwilling Harden once again held the ball and singled Wang Feng, this time he chose to force a breakthrough to impact the basket, in fact, the purpose was already obvious, to create damage to cheat the foul.

Faced with this situation, Wang Feng directly and neatly put his hands behind his back to defend Harden, and used his chest to successfully squeeze Harden into the restricted area at all.

Backhand defense is a trick that Wang Feng used against Harden when he was still in the Warriors, and he even used this way to defend against Harden throughout the game, and the result was that Harden was suspicious.

Unexpectedly, after more than two years, I actually saw this trick again.

Harden suddenly didn't hold his breath, and was so angry that he jumped on the spot and shot.

But at this point, his position is in the middle distance, which is not his area of expertise, and even with his hands behind his back, Wang Feng's defensive deterrent badge is always in effect.

Box ——!

The shot hit the iron again.
