Harden made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line, and the Rockets recovered a 2-point goal.
There are now 5 minutes and 18 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Lakers hit a 3-pointer, the Rockets pushed forward, and Harden was in isolation again. Rockets head coach Bickerstaff also gave up on arranging tactics, thinking that he would rely on Harden to survive these 5 minutes. He entered the locker room.
Let’s think about countermeasures in detail. Harden’s singles ability has improved a lot this season, and because of his “touching skills”, many defensive masters dare not stick too close, which gives him more shooting opportunities.
.
complement each other.
If it were another team, the opponent would no longer dare to stick so close to him. This was a good opportunity for Harden to develop his shooting touch. But what Harden didn't expect was that as soon as he came to the Lakers,
Butler quickly moved forward without giving him much room to shoot. Harden was stunned and suddenly felt that Butler didn't have a long memory. Since it didn't work once, let's do it again to let you know that I "hit the wall".
The super power of "Deng".
He made a small change in his knee and broke through to the middle. He thought that Butler would find an opportunity to "get in the arm" and have a comfortable "big touch" when Butler was close to him. The result was beyond Harden's expectation. This
The ball did not come to Butler as expected, but he broke through easily.
This shouldn't be the case. Butler is a recognized master of perimeter defense in the league, how could he get past it so easily?
I didn’t even have time to execute the next move I prepared.
But even if he was doubtful, it was over. It was impossible to deny this fact. Now that Harden had come in, he was no longer polite. He held the ball and went to the inside basket.
Under normal circumstances, someone should be coming to help defend now. Harden can also find opportunities to "touch porcelain". After all, he is the master of "porcelain touch", so this difficulty is not a big deal. Even if he can't do this, it is still called
What is "Peng Ci Deng", right?
How can it make people gnash their teeth and feel terrified?
But this time it was a bit "unexpected". Harden found that he was almost to the basket, and no Lakers players came to block it. It was as if everyone turned a blind eye to his breakthrough damage.
This is too irritating, don’t you treat me like a dish? I’m a completely different person than before, okay!
I am already infinitely close to the door of super scorer, okay!!!
You look down on people, right? Then I will make you regret it!
Harden's ball went straight to the basket. Tang Qian moved over to help defend the ball. The two of them jumped up, one after the other, and they fought in the air. This was not the first time that Tang Qian had played against Harden. Harden
It's the same thing. The latter knows the former's ability to protect the basket, but he is also more confident in himself now.
Bang~
Dongfang Perm, I am different now than before!
Don't try to block me easily again!!!
Tang Qian saw Harden's intention and did not give in. He used his strength to speak for himself. This is the basketball court.
Harden's ball... was blocked by Tang Qian.
Unfortunately, Harden lost this confrontation.
The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian cut in from the air, made a hard attack at the basket and caused a foul. He went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.
The Rockets are still Harden. Butler obviously wants to guard his three-pointers and long-range shots. As for breakthroughs, you can just break through. I will only block the other side after your breakthrough so that your breakthrough route cannot be easily changed.
.Shoot? There's nothing you can do if you make a top shot. You're the best. Harden still chose to break through because Butler's defensive breakthrough is very comfortable and not difficult. His choice of shooting is an unwise offense.
Decide.
At least that's what he thought. After Butler let him in, he immediately blocked one side so that he couldn't change the line at will, which made it easier for the inside players to assist in defense and judgment. Harden avoided Tang Qian's shot with the ball, but
Because the evading posture is too big, you can't score the ball at all. It's better to hit it from the top. If you hit it from the top, you can at least have the chance to draw a foul.
The Lakers missed the shot and the Rockets had a chance.
Harden was a little angry. He didn't want to be embarrassed tonight, and he really wanted to eat what Kardashian called a "big meal." Under the double stimulus, he began to explode. The ball shook Butler away.
, went straight to the inside. Butler was shaken away and immediately pursued the defense, but it was too late. Harden strode to the free throw line and hit Tang Qian hard.
His current ability is already at the level of a quasi-super scorer, and with his improved condition, even Tang Qian can't guarantee that he can stop him 100% now. However, that is without Howard, as long as Howard is still with the Rockets.
, Tang Qian's state can easily break out, overwhelming the team with Warcraft.
The two collided in the air and came into physical contact. Tang Qian remained motionless, looking down at Harden and slapping out his big palm mercilessly.
The basketball was blown away by Tang Qian with great force. It went straight up and down, and his body did not violate the opponent's offensive cylinder. It was an absolutely good shot. Harden had already used the force of the ball, but found that he could not hit the Lakers at all.
No. 29. As for your aerial confrontation, if you cannot destroy the opponent's aerial balance and body center of gravity, the defender can more easily adjust his posture and timing to block shots.
"You still want to touch the porcelain?" Tang Qian laughed and said after landing, "Come and try."
"You..." Harden was so angry that his beard was about to grow, but he had better go back to defense first and settle the accounts later. However, it turns out that Harden's rush back was of no use. He is still a standard "nightclub"
"Deng", the defensive end was not strong at all, and he was not focused. He only wanted to concentrate on the offensive end. In this way, Butler scored a goal.
Harden dribbled the ball quickly and did not give it to Beverley, the team's No. 1, at all. When he reached the frontcourt, he broke out. His condition improved even more. Butler looked as if he could "touch porcelain" all over his body, and the rhythm was swaying.
, Butler was passed again. No pick-and-roll, one-on-one breakthrough. Harden has really grown a lot this season than before. When he gets up, he can also break through the second-defense players.
Averaging 29+ points per game is no longer a big deal.
He has reached quasi-super scorer territory this season.
No wonder he is so confident, it is not unfounded.
It's a pity that Tang Qian is not only a first-defense player but also a DPOY. Not only is he a DPOY, he is also one of the strongest shot-blocking kings in history. He is still far away from the realm of the God of Blocking. With the addition of "Warcraft"
Thanks to Howard's bonus, Tang Qian is now even stronger than he was in his normal state. Harden also got angry. In the past, he was not strong enough. Could it be that he has been promoted to a quasi-super scorer this season?
Center?
He doesn’t believe it! He doesn’t want to believe it! So he must give it a try! Break the demonic barrier in his heart!
Otherwise, this season, I will probably have to perform haphazardly against the Lakers again and not be able to perform at my best.
As your abilities become higher and higher, some things become more and more intolerable. For example, psychological shadow and psychological oppression. This is a huge insult to those who want to become top players. And there is only one way to break this thing.
The only way is to defeat the opponent. There is no other way. Harden has improved a lot compared to last season. Although he is called "nightclub boarding", his progress cannot be denied. Therefore, this season Harden has only
He successfully overcame Howard and became the Rockets' veritable number one and leader. That's why he hopes to break the psychological oppression put on him by this Oriental this season.
"Nightclub boarding" broke out, whether it was the stimulation of the basketball court, the stimulation of self-esteem, the stimulation of his own breakthrough, or the stimulation of Kardashian's "big meal". Anyway, he actually broke into the "attack The.Zone". This
Suddenly, Butler couldn't stop him at all. Harden made a feint change and made a small emergency stop, passing through Butler and entering the Lakers' penalty area again.
Harden is a little obsessed. He can definitely shoot with his current state, but he has been suppressed by this Oriental for several years. Every time he encounters him, he has to be "lessons". It was fine before, but it always felt like
If he is not strong enough, he will be "given a lesson", but now that he has entered the realm of a quasi-super scorer, can't he still kill his opponent?
Can't you step on the opponent once? Not to mention the playoffs, the regular season is fine too!!!
Harden wanted to break his inner demons, so after he felt that his condition had improved significantly, his first thought was to challenge.
We need to defeat this annoying Lakers No. 29.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that Harden is not crazy for doing this. Although he likes to go to nightclubs, he is also an ambitious player, and his training is definitely not the kind of soy sauce. In this case, how can he accept the old man?
What about pressuring yourself? If you were Harden, would you accept it? Of course it is impossible. Therefore, you must break. You must challenge.
Harden will also be an MVP-level player in the future. He is a quasi-super giant at his peak. To be able to reach this height is to be proud of the overlord of one side. Since he is the overlord of one side, how can he be so tolerant and let his head go to him?
Are there always other players? The NBA is a place to challenge and be challenged. If you don’t challenge and you won’t be challenged, that’s not the purpose of this basketball palace.
Tang Qian felt the fighting spirit in the eyes of Rockets No. 13, and he also stopped playing. After all, any player who seriously challenges is worthy of respect. It doesn't matter whether he likes Harden's style or not. At this moment,
The latter is an opponent worth facing seriously. A basketball player worth taking seriously.
Come on, let me see your progress, James Harden.
Harden also rushed in quickly. No one came over. This was also Tang Qian's dignity.
When he is ready, he doesn't need others to help him during the regular season.
If someone wanted to challenge him head-on, he would nod and accept.
Larry Brown is actually a bit opposed to Tang Qian being so "willful", but so far, this guy has basically suppressed challengers. In this case, what else can you say? Is it the defensive nature of basketball?
Isn't it just to prevent the opponent from scoring? Since No. 29 can do it by himself, then he can only forget it. In fact, from the perspective of the basketball system, if he can really defend against any challenger,
There are only benefits to the entire team, no harm. After all, no matter how good the supplementary defense and assisting defense are, they operate on the basis of destroying the original defensive system. There is absolutely no assisting defense and supplementary defense that will not cause misalignment in other positions.
of.
It depends on whether the speed of compensation is good enough and whether the quality is high enough.
If No. 29 can really "one shoulder", the Lakers' original defensive positioning system can also be maintained to the greatest extent. In this case, the opponent will basically have no hope of scoring any sudden points. However, Harden
This season, you are averaging 29+ per game, and now that you are in good shape, can you still stop him by yourself?
hot.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
Zhang Lili expressed his anxiety and said: Why don't you help defend this kind of ball? It's too dangerous. It completely exposes Tang Qian to Harden's heavy firepower. At least there should be a slight delay.
Wait! The Lakers played this ball so unreasonably! It was so unreasonable!!!
Meteor Rain also nodded and said: Tang Qian's ability to protect the basket is very strong, but is it too much? Harden is the second person on the scoring list this season!
On the Internet, many Tang Mi also began to complain, feeling that Larry Brown was too incompetent to "protect" Tang Qian and was using the latter "blindly".
Dongfang Fang, I will defeat you with this ball!
If you move even a little bit, I will let you taste the power of my "Porcelain Touching Technique"!
Don't be afraid.
Bill, the on-site commentator at Toyota Center, said loudly: "James has a good chance to hit the ball. No one from the Lakers comes to help defend and delay. He can quickly accelerate and attack the basket with all his strength!" Another on-site commentator, Drakes
Le Ye said: "Yes, the Lakers are too trusting. Although their Dongfang Feng is powerful and is the best in the league in defending the basket, James has also improved a lot this season and is no longer the same as before. I think this season
It's time to fight back."
"Defeat the opponent! Tell the entire league that I am the league's number one point guard, the unstoppable number one point guard!"
The first point guard also has a strong obsession with Drexler, who said he was in the same era as Jordan.
This is really the greatest tragedy in the same position.
In fact, Harden's breakthroughs originally lacked the kind of flicking and jumping similar to the "four major points", and there were not many tricks. Most of them were directly going up or European steps, using rhythm and hand skills to win. At the same time, he
The ability to find physical contact in confrontations is also top-notch in the history of the league. Facing this kind of person, if you are a defender under the basket, you can only go straight up and down, minimizing body movements. But Harden is also heavy.
As a heavy defender reaching 220 pounds, it is difficult for you to keep straight up and down in the air. In addition, the former's "porcelain skills" are extremely proficient, so it will be very difficult to defend him this season.
Tang Qian, however, did not intend to use retreat to distance himself. In his heart, he still liked head-on confrontation.
At the moment of body collision, the opponent's body will be unbalanced, and then the opponent will be given a desperate trial.
So, in a head-to-head encounter, the two of them collided directly in the air.
Harden made this shot with all his strength, and his acceleration was not disturbed. However, when he hit the ball, he still felt that he had hit the steel plate, and his whole body was bounced away by the opponent. This guy,
Is his ability and stability in the air so abnormal? He can't even withstand his full impact??? Of course he doesn't know what a real "behemoth center" is.
Tang Qian is close to 310 pounds this season. How can he push it if he wants to? Why was James so miserable when he beat Yao Ming? That was a period of time when James' physical fitness was at his best. Yao Ming was too heavy to lift.
The plate was too stable, making it impossible for him to open up space, and he was not easily called for fouls. In addition, during that period, his shooting was not even an "intermittent shooter", so he was naturally in trouble.
Harden? Only 220 pounds? Of course Tang Qian didn't take him seriously.
Just because I’m nearly 90 pounds heavier than you!!! What else do you want to say???
I didn’t negotiate with you!!!
Harden wanted to call for a foul, but Tang Qian didn't move at all. He went straight up and down. He waited for him to take action before reaching out to block the ball.
Pa~~~
Nice hat, no foul play at all.
The Lakers attacked, and Harden lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground because of the ball. Therefore, the Lakers stole a defensive counterattack, 5 on 3, because Howard of the Rockets strangely did not go back. So he easily scored and Ariza caught the ball.
Successful layup.
The score difference once again entered "garbage time".
Tang Qian returned to defense and looked at Harden who had just gotten up. "You are indeed better than before, but you still can't beat me."
"Sorry, you can't eat the feast that Kardashian prepared for you tonight."
Harden looked at No. 29, but for a moment he didn't know what to say in rebuttal.
