For a moment, Su Hao did have the idea of directly singled out Harden.

In the end, though, his sanity prevailed over his impulsiveness.

Harden is, after all, a league superstar and a scorer, and if he loses heads-up, he will never have a chance to knock off the skill pack from Harden.

Looking at it with the eyes of the system, the number of Harden's S-level skill packages and Curry are also at the same level.

And Harden also has an exclusive "porcelain touch bag".

Of course, one of the things that makes the system very user-friendly is that he has the initiative to go heads-up on or off the court, and it is up to him to decide whether to go heads-up or not.

What he is still excited about is that he can use Harden to practice the defensive bag he just got in his hands!

As soon as Harden heard that it was a heads-up, his expression relaxed, Su Hao was about to eat his eyes, he thought he was going to do something!

He didn't refuse, he just came, just to warm up with Su Hao.

"I'm coming."

Harden reminded Su Hao with a smile before starting.

As soon as he finished speaking, he changed direction and shook from side to side.

Unlike James, who is more inclined to physical breakouts, Harden's breakouts are more focused on tempo changes, which is also the difference in skill between guards and forwards.

For Su Hao, it is obviously much more difficult to defend Harden than James.

This is also the reason why Harden laughs, it is impossible to train on the same team without alignment, but Su Hao can't prevent him.

Only this time, he soon couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he found that his change of direction didn't shake off Su Hao!

Su Hao was not close to him, but with his beautiful defensive footsteps, he always remained firmly in front of him.

In the end, he had to give up the breakthrough and opt for a step-back three-point jumper instead.

Su Hao successfully predicted and saved to interfere with Harden.

"Phew!"

Harden's shot smashed out of the frame.

Su Hao blocked Harden in the first round!

Harden was incredulous, and immediately motioned to come back.

This time Harden put away his smile and began to use one of his killer features: the European Step.

Brought to the NBA by former Lithuanian star Sarunas Matthew Leonis and carried forward by Manu Ginobili, Harden is the best player to use the technique on the roster.

It is characterized by a large change of direction between the marches, making it difficult for defenders to judge the attacker's offensive line.

It is very suitable to use it against a striker like Su Hao.

But Harden miscalculated again!

Because his drastic change of direction still hasn't changed Su Hao's defensive position, this guy has always been on his breakthrough route!

He finally hit the basket, although he relied on his personal ability to complete the shot, but under Su Hao's interference, he came out of the basket again!

Once it may be an accident, but twice it certainly isn't!

"How did you do that?"

Harden's eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Hao was excited.

With two consecutive defenses, he felt as if he was possessed by Michael Jackson, and gliding close to the ground felt like a space walk!

It's an amazing feeling!

Recall that if he hadn't hit an S-level three-point [ball-holding] bag from Curry, he wouldn't have been able to break Ariza's defense!

"That's why I didn't go back, LeBron scored 41 points over my head last time, and I must not let that happen again."

After recovering from the excitement, he also gave Harden a reasonable explanation.

After listening to this, Harden looked at Su Hao appreciatively, he used to have a good relationship with Su Hao, more off the court, and knew that Su Hao was an optimistic and positive person.

But now when he had the opportunity to see Su Hao show what was in the stadium, he found that Su Hao was a very admirable player.

"Come on, show me your limits."

Harden was also emotional, with a super serious expression.

Thereupon......

An hour later.

The two sat on the sidelines, gasping for air.

The heads-up between the two was very intense, much more intense than the previous Su Hao and Ariza.

Although Su Hao still failed to prevent Harden on the whole, it was not easy for Harden to win.

In terms of image, in the past, he could basically defeat Su Hao with seventy percent of his strength, but now he can go all out.

Su Hao's improvement on the defensive end can be seen.

This result also proves that Su Hao was right not to have the impulse to find Harden to go head-to-head.

After all, all he got was an A-level defensive package, and he just got it, and Harden was one of the top players in the league, and even the top five players in the offense alone.

If this can only be prevented, it will inevitably despise Harden too much.

That's enough, though.

After all, there are only a few people in the league who can limit Harden!

"Sue."

Just then, the doors of the training hall were pushed open and D'Antoni and Bouzdrick walked in from the outside.

The sudden appearance of the two coaches also surprised the two for a while.

After Harden was surprised, he couldn't wait to talk to them about Su Hao's defensive progress.

The two of them also smiled and nodded.

In fact, not long after the two started to go head-to-head, they observed outside the arena.

This is not the first time they have observed Su Hao like this, the last time was when Su Hao was crazy to practice three points after grabbing seven games.

But unlike the last time they left silently, this time they couldn't help but walk in excitedly.

It's really Su Hao's surprise for them this time is too big!

Especially D'Antoni, if it weren't for the fact that there were other people here, he would have been eager to go up and give Su Hao a princess hug.

You must know that since the start of the Finals, how to defend James has been the number one problem for the coaching staff.

James has strong individual ability and excellent organizational skills, and it is difficult to limit him whether it is a single defense or a pinch attack.

It's like two cups of poison in front of Team Rocket, and whichever one you choose will have the same result.

But now, for the second time, Su Hao gave him a third option!

As long as Su Hao can limit James' play, the probability of the Rockets winning Game 3 will skyrocket!

And this is still without the knowledge of the Cavaliers, and then it will really be a "special surprise"!

"We can rely on you, right?"

D'Antoni couldn't help but ask with delight.

"Of course, coach, always."

Su Hao replied with a smile.

……

Xu Whale is a well-known anchor in China, and his "Rain Says Sports" column is famous because of his humorous conversation and the effect of the show is like stand-up comedy.

Su Hao's poor performance in the second game of the finals was not only questioned by the sunspots, but also many domestic media people were also leading the rhythm.

This involves a deep problem, Su Hao is not a basketball player who has gone out of the domestic system, so most of the domestic media people will not speak for Su Hao.

However, in this context, Xu Whale's remarks in the latest episode of the show are very bold.

"What is the concept of 28 points in a single quarter of the finals and 13 points in a row in the last minute to kill the game? If you don't say that you are better than Curry, it is also an existence that is on par with Curry, and a player who can play like this, he should not be questioned.

Not to mention, he shot 12 three-pointers in a single game on the Finals stage for the first time, this kind of explosive performance, you can't find a second person in the NBA, just because you didn't play a good game to be questioned? This is something that should never be done.

This LeBron James also had a single 8-point game in the Finals! In 2011, he was educated by Nowitzki, and in 2016, Curry also had 11 points and 5 turnovers in the opening game against the Cavaliers.

I'll leave the words here today, Su Hao will definitely have a rebound in the next game, and it will be a strong rebound, the kind that starts with 20 points! ”

Xu Whale's remarks spread quickly on the Internet, and soon became "popular" out of the circle.

It's not because of how well he says it, it's that everyone else can't wait to see him slapped in the face.

They also have enough self-confidence, because compared to them, Xu Whale is essentially a wild man who debuted halfway.

If you want to swim against the current and go against the mainstream media people, you have to have that strength!

……

The day before Game 3 of the Finals, the Rockets set off for Cleveland.

The next two games of the Grand Final will be played there.

With a feeling of impatience, Su Hao also felt extremely excited as soon as he got on the plane.

Just a short time after getting on the plane, he received a text message.

"Macho man, I have time to watch you play today!"

The number that hadn't appeared for a long time sent him a text message again!

I don't know why, seeing this text message, the corners of Su Hao's mouth involuntarily rose.

He turned on the airplane mode on his phone, turned his head to look at the gradually rising scenery outside the window, and had a hunch in his heart that this trip to Cleveland would be very fruitful!
