Chapter 191 Harden: 'I just want to score 50 points As for that?'
At halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Mosaics by two points, 48:50.
Harden's performance continued to shine in this quarter, scoring 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting. In addition to the 10 points in the first quarter, Harden scored 23 points in the half, breaking his previous career scoring record of 21 points in a half.
"James Harden of the Mosaic team has scored 23 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls tonight. To win, he can be said to have given everything he had."
Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
Before the game, Mosaic was generally the underdog. They had already been double-killed by the Trail Blazers, and they both led by a big score.
"And Harden only rested for two minutes in the first half. It's really hard to imagine what kind of desire for victory can make a person who is born with asthma play so persistently." Coach Ma said.
On the Mosaic bench, Harden looked at his statistics... 23 points?
This is not enough!
The bright scoreboard spurs Harden all the time. The Trail Blazers are indeed very strong, and he still has a lot to do.
…
"I have to say that the little fat guy Houston selected has really good offensive talent, but he is only a little bit behind the great Sir Charles!"
Barkley said shit.
"Hahaha!"
Kenny Smith laughed, noncommittal.
Although Barkley flatters himself a bit, this is indeed reality.
Both are fourth graders. Harden averaged only 25 points per game in his fourth grade, while Barkley, as a short inside man, has averaged 28 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.
Judging from the first few years of his career, Barkley is far from comparable to Harden. The former is a big man who averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game as a sophomore.
At this stage, Harden, who left the Thunder and was promoted to the boss, has just shown his potential and seems to have a bright future, but few people think that the bearded man will become an MVP-level superstar in the future.
In this regard, Harden is really similar to Bay Area elementary school students in some ways - neither was considered promising in the early stages of his career!
Trail Blazers bench.
"Weiss, did you spend too much energy on women last night? You actually let your opponent score 23 points on you!" All the Batums around looked at the Mosaic team and muttered: "
If you can't do it, take your place and see if I don't lock up that little fat guy!"
"Asshole, stop irritating me!" Matthews said with strong fighting spirit in his eyes: "I'll let you see how tough I am when I get on the field!"
"Don't just take off your pants, do something practical!"
Batum retorted.
"Hahaha!"
"That's right, Weiss, you have to stay calm!"
Although they are lagging behind, the Blazers generally still have an optimistic attitude.
Isn't it just a little mustache?
Deal with him!
Can it still change the world?
…
The game restarts with Mosaic attack.
Harden made a gesture at a 45-degree angle on the left. Asik came out to pick and roll. Harden used the screen and broke into the basket again.
The unstoppable offensive end allowed Harden to gradually swell up, ignore the crowd under the basket, and rush in after taking the ball.
No. 36 on the opposite side has already committed three fouls. I don't believe he dares to block the shot with all his strength.
The number of fouls in the half reached three, making Harden bolder in the penalty area guarded by Wang Zelin.
I'm going to dunk on your head!
Harden made a judgment in his mind, crossed Aldridge's defense, and immediately took off with a tomahawk dunk, heading towards the Trail Blazers' basket.
At this moment.
Harden's vision suddenly went dark, and a loud "pop" penetrated his eardrums.
Am I covered?
How dare he take off?
It's just a regular season game. Are you so serious?
Harden took a closer look and was shocked because the person who blocked his ball was none other than the Blazers' No. 36.
"You are thinking too much!"
Lillard succeeded in a fast break and equalized the score, when a voice came from above.
It’s number 36!
"The king has succeeded in getting James Harden. He is an omnipotent god of war, guarding the Blazers' penalty area all the time." Director Zhang roared.
"If you can guard me, can you also guard my teammates?"
The Mosaic team attacked. As the core leader of the offensive organization, Harden hit the ground at the right time and passed the ball straight into the heart of the Trail Blazers.
"Tall, rich and handsome" Parsons received the ball and started a layup.
Batum was blocked by Asik and his reaction was a beat slower.
When Parsons received the ball and took off in the paint, Wang Zelin took off at the same time.
"Snapped!"
There was another loud noise~that yellow palm again!
"Another merciless ban!"
Director Zhang’s furious commentary sounded again.
Asik reacted promptly, grabbed the offensive rebound, held the ball with both hands, put it over his head, and took off confidently.
Pa~
Wang Zelin, who had just landed, immediately jumped up high and pressed his palm on the basketball in Asik's hand.
Wang Zelin, who didn't record a single block in the first half, instantly blocked two shots in one round.
“Damn it!!!! I still don’t believe it!!!!”
Asker got another half in the frontcourt, and then shot from the basket again.
"I'm afraid this guy is not Shi Lezhi!"
While complaining in his heart, Wang Zelin's body was not idle. He bent his knees slightly and rose into the air again.
This time it's different.
Wang Zelin put one hand on the rising basketball and grabbed it brutally.
"Oh my god~ what did I see? Hat grabbing~ It was an extremely brutal hat grabbing!!!"
Barkley held his head in his hands and shook it rapidly.
"I seriously suspect that Asik of Team Mosaic is most likely an undercover agent!"
Kenny Smith complained.
Three consecutive blocks in one round ~ I seriously doubt you are playing me.
Harden, who was watching Wang Zelin's hot pot feast from the sidelines, was completely speechless.
What kind of magical teammates are these~
I am so tired!
"run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three players in black jerseys began to run wildly across the field, with the target in the Mosaic penalty area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, Aldridge made an easy layup with Batum's pass.
At 52:48, the Trail Blazers achieved the lead for the first time in this game.
"Old bird, thank you for your gift!"
"Also, despite the fact that people in China have always been modest, I really hope there can be more of this kind of thing."
After getting the advantage, Wang Zelin did not forget to behave well, and his deep ridicule made Asik's heart bleed.
"You bastard, why should I mess with you?"
Asik couldn't bear it anymore and completely exploded. Without Wang Zelin's defense, he pushed Wang Zelin's chest violently. The latter took five or six steps back and had to support the ground with his hands to stop his falling body.
"What the hell do you want to do? You bastard!"
When Matthews saw this, he ran over immediately.
Lillard, Batum, and Aldridge in the other half noticed that the situation was not good and strode straight in. None of the Mosaic players in front of them dared to come.
"What do I want to do? I want to kill your ancestors!"
Although Asik has always been stable, when he gets on the court and has a lot of physical contact with his opponent, he will inevitably get angry.
Now, Wang Zelin's continuous blocks are like a whip dipped in pepper water, hitting Asik's wound hard. No wonder he behaves like a cornered rabbit and starts biting people like crazy.
"Hahaha, buddy, do you know what you are doing?" Wang Zelin stood up and laughed angrily.
"I do...Faq" Asik said and punched out again.
But this time, Wang Zelin's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. The man flew directly backwards and hit several somersaults after landing.
Walt~!
At this time, Asik, who was still shouting, was also stunned and looked at his hands in disbelief.
When did I become so powerful?
Besides, he clearly only touched the No. 36 jersey just now!
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee blew the whistle, made a quick penalty, and made a gesture to expel Asik.
When Wang Zelin, who was lying on the ground, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
There is a saying that one learns from every experience!
Wang Zelin was really happy after several consecutive all-Martial Arts matches, but for the Trail Blazers, losing an insider Optimus Prime for no reason was undoubtedly a loss-making deal.
Therefore, when Asik suddenly took action, Wang Zelin instantly had a corresponding strategy in mind and tried his best to get the former out of the field.
The result was just as he wished, Asik, who was completely over the top, succeeded in falling into the trap in the face of his own provocation.
The Blazers players rushed over one after another, surrounding Asik in the middle, and the Mosaic players also surrounded him.
In the end, after the referee's strong dissuasion, the two teams were separated. Asik, who was charged with a second-level flagrant foul, hung his head and disappeared into the player tunnel.
At this time, there was no regret in his heart, but instead he was filled with hatred.
The subsequent accountability and punishment will not come out until tomorrow after the league's discussion, but in any case, Asik will be divided by the best and fined not more than 100,000 yuan, and may even be suspended.
For a role player like Asik, deducting money is equivalent to killing him.
Therefore, his hatred for Wang Zelin is about to reach the sky.
…
After the instigator left, everyone focused on the other party - or it could be said to be the victim.
What everyone was curious about was that this fierce man known for his explosive fighting prowess actually didn't fight back. It was such a long time coming.
After Asik came on the court, Wang Zelin stood up and patted the non-existent dust on his jersey with a relaxed expression.
Judging from this expression, Wang Zelin's injuries were not as exaggerated as his physical movements.
"Flip! Referee~ That's a dive!"
"Despicable, dirty Oriental guy!"
"We demand a new trial, this is unfair..."
Immediately, the fans at Toyota Center exploded, booing frantically to serve Wang Zelin, who looked harmless.
Yao Ming, who was sitting in the front row, frowned when he heard some over-the-top words and his body exuded a cold aura.
The staff on the side were shocked and quickly stood up to dissuade the fans.
Yes, it’s about helping the manager but not the relatives!
In terms of intimacy, we must be more intimate with Wang Zelin who has the same skin color.
In theory, Wang Zelin is also more reasonable.
In addition to being angry, Yao Ming felt a trace of unconcealable sadness in his heart.
The new generation is better than the old generation!
Time can always wash away many things.
It has only been a long time since I retired, and a Houston fan actually said it in front of me...
Due to the pressure from the surrounding fans, the referee was not allowed to watch the replay of the game over and over again, and everything that just happened was constantly replayed on the big screen in the dome.
Wang Zelin did not take any action during the whole process, which is worthy of praise.
This irritable oriental boy finally became sensible. The referee expressed his great relief.
Although the final fall had an element of performance that could not be concealed by Yi Diudi, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Asik's initial pushing action was unsportsmanlike.
In the end, the referee chose to impose the penalty as usual, and Wang Zelin got the opportunity to throw two free throws.
"fraud!"
"fraud!"
"..."
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
"..."
From the moment Wang Zelin stood at the free throw line, overwhelming boos immediately erupted from the Toyota Center.
"Wow, it seems that Queen Wang will most likely become the mortal enemy of Mosaic fans!"
Buckley saw this scene with great interest.
The only regret is: Why didn’t Wang Zelin take action just now?
As expected of Fliggy who dared to fight anyone directly in the 1980s and 1990s if they disagreed, he naturally had a favorable impression of Wang Zelin, whose fighting prowess was off the charts.
Under the overwhelming pressure, Wang Zelin made two steady free throws to help the team lead by 4 points.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing public anger and the referee's repeated glances, Wang Zelin would have been prepared to do Iverson's classic listening action.
That’s all, it’s better not to seek death!
Due to the absence of Asik, the league's top defender, the Mosaic team has completely become Wang Zelin's back garden, and they can enter in any way they want.
After the third quarter, the Trail Blazers led Mosaic by 7 points 75:68.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If Harden hadn't scored two consecutive three-pointers in the last minute, the point difference would have been 15 points.
45 points in the third quarter~Haha, someone is having a great time tonight!
During the break between quarters, Wang Zelin looked at Harden's data and smiled.
"Bah bang bang!"
Wang Zelin clapped his hands and gathered all his teammates around him.
Coach Terry was a little puzzled and came closer...
As a result, after half a day, I couldn't squeeze in.
"Guys, do you want to see No. 13 on the other side score 50 points on us?"
"Still, you expect Matthews to be able to defend No. 13 who is in great shape alone..."
"No way!"
Wang Zelin's words left everyone confused.
"King, just tell me directly, what do you want us to do?"
Matthews asked awkwardly after being beaten by Harden.
If it wasn't for the sake of face, he would have called for double-teaming.
"What I mean...let's do this first...and then that..."
After some words, everyone turned to look at Harden with eyes full of sympathy.
Wang and Houston really have a grudge, and they actually want to mess up the mentality of the opponent's core.
em...I like it!
Back on the court, Harden was confused when faced with the strange looks from the top five players of the Trail Blazers.
Forget it, it's more important to score 50 points early.
But Harden quickly exploded.
Starting just after halftime, the Trail Blazers directly implemented a double-teaming strategy, and Harden began to step into what he wanted to pass directly to his teammates.
But then he was dumbfounded.
After getting three assists in a row, the Trail Blazers still double-teamed Harden relentlessly.
It's fine from beyond the three-point line, it's just a two-man double attack.
Once he entered the three-point line, three strong men pounced on him... As for his teammates, the Blazers players ignored him.
Ha said: Although the old blacksmith in Los Angeles is his idol, he has no plans to enter the blacksmith shop for further study!
What is even more unacceptable to him is that although his assists are constantly rising, the point difference between the two teams has not only not narrowed, but has gradually widened.
Seeing this, Harden could only grit his teeth and start singles mode.
The results can be imagined.
Facing the frenzied Trail Blazers, Harden's final score stayed at 47 points, plus 12 assists and 5 rebounds.
All 2 points in the final quarter came from free throws.
The data was extremely luxurious. He lost to Mosaic but lost to the Trail Blazers 97:105.
After Asik left the game, Harden didn't have much hope for this game, and he only wanted to score 50 points.
After the game, Harden would be satisfied if he could hear from the outside world, "Mosaic lost, but I didn't lose."
