Throughout the third quarter, China Chen was full of energy! Facing Chandler Parsons' defense, he used his speed and agility to the extreme. Although James Harden on the other side was also scoring, he was a little irrational.
He challenged Chen Feng almost every time...
Of course, the one-on-one challenge may just be his own wishful thinking, because Chen Feng's defensive method is not just limited by himself. Instead, he uses his own strength and defensive angle to force Harden into an awkward position to take action. At this time, Harden
You have to face a big man who is much taller than you and force a layup. You can imagine the result.
It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the power of that modern combination began to show up! McHale arranged tactics for Howard and Harden, and others opened up, allowing Howard and Harden to pick and roll on one side, attack by themselves, or distribute the ball after covering the screen.
, you can also distribute the ball to others.
Facts have proved that when two All-Star players start to cooperate, the lethality is still huge. Howard can finally show off his physical talents instead of blindly fighting Favors in the low post. Isn't the effect better?
Less. And after Harden calmed down, he didn't just want to kill China Chen from the front.
Because he found that there seemed to be only one result of what he did. The Chinese boy limited his shooting percentage to a very low level, and the team fell behind more and more points. Howard became a pure rebounder, and others could only act as a rebounder.
An ordinary spectator doesn't even have a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
His performance on the court is not as good as Jeremy Lin, who has been sent to the bench. At least Jeremy Lin is better than Harden in organizing the team's offense.
It's a pity that Harden woke up too late! The Rockets' efficiency began to increase in the fourth quarter, but the most important problem was that they simply could not limit the Spurs' offense.
The current Spurs' offense is not as smooth as last season. But when it comes to individual singles ability, it is definitely much better than last season. After all, the number of young people in the team has increased. For the future of the team,
This is a good thing.
As for the entire Rockets defense, Beverley on the outside was sent off. Although Howard on the inside defended well, he liked to wait for the opponent to take action before blocking the opponent. Although it seemed quite relieving, the defensive efficiency was not very high.
.Parsons’ defense on the outside is also good.
For example, when he is guarding some veterans, his height and defensive awareness allow him to ensure his center of gravity, allowing himself to appear in front of the opponent and defend the opponent's shots. But facing players like Chen Feng and James,
By then, Parsons seemed powerless.
After all, there is a gap in physical talent. Even if he can predict the opponent's offensive line, he can only be beyond his reach. As for James Harden, this guy may be a player that most people in the league like. As long as he faces him
, then it may be a good opportunity to improve your score.
As for Jeremy Lin's defensive efforts, the gap in physical talent and the injury to his leg also make him seem a bit inadequate. The entire Rockets' offense should have no problem. As long as Harden doesn't lose his mind, this team's offense
The ability will definitely be very strong.
But their defense is definitely a problem. The best perimeter defenders may be Parsons and Beverley. But both of them have obvious flaws!
Beverley likes to be hot-headed, and once he gets emotional, he likes to act recklessly! The best example of this is the elimination of Westbrook last season. Why should he rush over when he has already called a timeout?
And he likes to defend closely, but as long as the player being defended is not irritated by him, there is only one result, this guy will be ruthlessly passed.
When Parsons defended young and strong players, his physical fitness was obviously flawed. He simply couldn't keep up with his opponents, whether it was James' domineering strength, Chen Feng's super speed, or Durant's.
Such a arrogant shot, he obviously doesn't have many options.
If the Rockets can find a defensive player like Tony Allen on the outside, they can definitely improve the Rockets' strength by more than one level. But the prerequisite is that James Harden can be mature enough and not always blind.
In singles, it gives people the suspicion of brushing up data. The most important thing is that he should not become a defensive black hole again.
At the end of this game, the San Antonio Spurs won a big victory in Houston, 119:97, and the Rockets were beaten without any temper.
If this is a collective honor, then Harden also lost completely in terms of personal honor. James Harden scored 34 points in the game, which is very impressive when looking at the score alone.
But apart from an assist and a rebound in the last quarter, this guy's statistics really don't have much to look at.
He scored 34 points in a shot, but his gains on the defensive end were almost zero. Apart from grabbing 4 rebounds, he did almost nothing on the defensive end. In the entire game, he could not stop even one opponent's breakthrough.
He always likes to watch with his eyes, and when the opponent rushes past, he will take it out with his hands. He himself does not think about it, that someone who can play in the NBA and can play in regular time can be defeated by him with such a simple move.
Has it been taken out? Not to mention that the opponent is still on guard.
As for the Spurs' new core, China Chen, although in the China game, the Spurs he led were beaten by the Heat in two consecutive games. But his statistics and performance were very good, and this game also made many Chen Feng
A sigh of relief for fans and Spurs alike.
23 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. If you look at the data instead of the name, many people would probably think this is LeBron James. But this is the answer handed over by China Chen.
Although it is only a preseason game, it is enough to excite Chen Feng's fans. Of course, Chen Feng knows that he may be better at passing the ball. After all, he is focusing on this area now. He is training every day!
But in terms of rebounding, his level is pretty good. But if you really want to compare with those big men, it's still a bit worse. Especially Howard, Chen Feng can guarantee that this guy's rebounding level is definitely close to level 9.
Or it has reached level 9. If Favos hadn't carried Howard throughout the game and helped others to beat others, Chen Feng would never have been able to grab so many rebounds.
So after the game, when Chen Feng followed **Vicci to attend the post-game press conference, he first expressed his praise and gratitude to Favors and Wesley Johnson.
"They are great! Derek and the others have been pushing people, and their contribution cannot be seen in the statistics! I am excited that we can become a unit so quickly, and we are preparing to win! And I believe in Derek's future
It will be better. As for Wesley, I think he will become a very good player. His defense is very good! And his shooting is also very accurate. I am very excited to be teammates with them!"
As for **Vicci, when Chen Feng finished speaking these words, the old man had no expression on his face. He only said a few words to reporters, but he was happy in his heart. This boy really has the temperament of a leader. With these words
As soon as he said it, I guess Favors and Wesley Johnson really impressed him?
Favors played 34 minutes in the entire game, which was much longer than Duncan. He finished the game with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. He seemed to have completely become the patron saint of the Spurs inside.
With a strong body, long arms, and a tall stature, what he lacks is just experience and skills on the defensive end. If he is still with the Jazz, he may continue to improve, but the speed of improvement will definitely not be too fast.
But now that we have a great coach like Vic and a great senior like Duncan, I believe that as long as Favors works hard enough, his growth will definitely be expected.
And after Wesley Johnson stayed with the Spurs for such a long time, he gradually understood **Vitch's temper! He likes to defend and don't be too aggressive on the offensive end. Moreover, role players like himself will take action whenever they have the opportunity.
Okay, don't worry about the rest.
The Spurs' lineup adjustment has finally paid off, and everyone is preparing to return to San Antonio and face the Houston Rockets again.
The biggest gain from this game may be Favors. The coach pays attention to it, the new boss is harmonious, the team is united, and the seniors teach him. In addition, he did not lose much in the confrontation with Howard in this game. This is a good thing for him.
This is a huge incentive. After all, Howard is still known as the number one center in the league!
…
"Chen! Pass, pass! No, there is someone defending somewhere? Can't you see it?"
"Kawhi, what are you doing? Defense!"
"Wesley must act decisively and quickly!"
In the Spurs' training facility, Vicki didn't seem to rest for a second on the sidelines. Chen Feng and Leonard were the first to bear the brunt of the criticism and were scolded like dogs.
At this moment, Buhuode came in with a man and clapped his hands to signal everyone to come over!
When Chen Feng saw the person standing next to Buchuede, a smile appeared on his face: "Tracy, you are back!"
The person next to Buford was none other than Tracy McGrady, who won the championship with the team last season! After one summer passed, Tracy McGrady looked a little leaner, and it was obvious that he had worked hard to polish his body.
"I originally wanted to play baseball! But when I think about what Greg said to me, I feel that if I really have to separate from basketball, I don't know if I will be truly happy!"
Looking at Chen Feng with a surprised look on his face, McGrady continued: "I don’t want your jersey number this time! The Spurs’ No. 1 only belongs to you!".)
