…
The Clippers have indeed improved in strength. This is an undeniable fact, but we still have to know how it will play out. After all, the Lakers are not a Mosaic team. The lineup configuration and core play styles are completely different. Maybe Harden can only win
To reach 34 points, they still took 34 shots to get it, and they received so many blocks. It can be seen that the Clippers' improvement is also visible to the naked eye. They did not use the side position defense like the Bucks and Jazz.
It can be prevented by regular defense. This really shows the ability.
It also shows that Harden's current style of play is gradually being understood. He should give more points to the ball. There are too many balls that are not one-on-one. It is irrational to rush in and beat more than one.
.And you also know that the Clippers also have superstars shining brightly, so Harden will not get more star whistles than usual. Otherwise, other fans will not do it.
Tang Qian scored 40 points in the first half against the empty Oklahoma City Thunder! The opposite player Adams was almost paralyzed by the former, and he didn’t know what he was doing.
No. 29's strength is completely unmatched by him. No matter how ruthless they are, they still have to fight as they should. The Thunder only has one Rondo passing the ball to increase the statistics. The firepower of the others is really average. Los Angeles will be defeated at almost every point.
The Lakers were so beaten that you didn't even dare to help guard Tang Qian. In addition, their team was a lottery team, so the defense was not systematic. Tang Qian got a lot of one-on-one opportunities tonight. In this case,
The efficiency will naturally explode. However, the Thunder's coaching staff did not criticize Adams too much. Instead, they asked him not to put any psychological pressure on him, saying that he had already defended very well. Look, they thought it was because of the treatment given to Adams.
I really made a great contribution in defense. I was beaten, but I got the comfort of the whole team. Think about it.
Of course Adams was blown away in the first half and wanted to vent in the second half, but they didn't give him a chance at all. For a big center like him without a basket, Tang Qian didn't care what he was doing outside the penalty area. Anyway, as long as he shot,
He has to shoot close to the basket. You think he can't? Isn't that just right? As far as his long-range shooting ability is concerned, Tang Qian and the Lakers really want him to shoot as many shots as possible.
Just give it all to him.
Rondo has a very balanced mentality. He has won enough championships, 4 rings, and three consecutive championships. For him, he has no desire for a championship. Now he comes to the Thunder to make big money.
He's a good guy, and he's good at improving statistics. Now that he's with the Thunder, he's hit it off right away. It's impossible for Oklahoma City to win a championship in the past few years during its rebuilding period, so he just needs to improve his statistics and get a big contract comfortably.
.So after the whole game, his data was slightly better and he got a double-double. The entire Thunder team was completely defeated. Tang Qian scored 68 points in the game! The gap between the two was once again narrowed by a few tenths of a point.
And those who are careful will find that in these two games, Tang Qian's score was twice as high as his opponent's.
This means that Tang Qian was "doubling the kills" of his opponents during this period.
As soon as this news was reported, it immediately aroused widespread heated discussion in the United States. Harden was naturally unconvinced, but Houston's recent schedule is not very good. After this game with the Clippers, there will be a back-to-back away game immediately.
, and it’s another game against the Utah Jazz. It’s not very smooth for Harden to play against the Jazz in his original time and space, especially after the Jazz have grown up in the past few years, scoring more than 20 points and more than 10 points. So in this game
In the game, even though James Harden tried his best, he still only scored 30 points under the targeted defense of the Jazz. The Mosaic team also lost this game, losing 2 consecutive games.
His shooting percentage in the whole game was just over 40%. If he hadn't missed 6 three-pointers, he would have scored more than 20 points in this game. The Mosaic team lost to the Utah Jazz 91-101. This is
This time teammates did not pull Harden out of the meeting, so the meeting that was supposed to be held was still in progress. It is said that Paul made some suggestions in the locker room during this game, but they were ignored again. Paul expressed that he was a little dissatisfied, but for the sake of the whole team,
He quickly endured it again. D'Antoni said in an interview:
You know, it's normal to have bumps and bruises throughout the season, but now we don't have any problems.
Is this really the case? Will Harden really restrain his desire to score because of two consecutive losses? Maybe he originally wanted to restrain himself, but who knew that Tang Qian actually scored 60 points in 34 minutes against the bad Suns?
In summary, the Suns' inside line is really bad. The new No. 1 center is simply DeAndre Ayton. He is so soft and does not engage in physical confrontation at all, turning his 216cm body into a decoration. Tang Qiansai
Later, he directly said that it is impossible for Ayton to defend himself with this style of play. He should attack the basket more instead of shooting from the side.
But obviously people didn't listen. I just don't want to play inside the basket. I'm allergic to physical confrontation. You can't blame me. I just have a 216cm body, but my heart is still a defender's heart.
Suddenly, Harden's pressure became huge, because Tang Qian completed another double kill! This made the entire outside public opinion extremely unfavorable to him. Harden wanted to have enough strength to fight, but it was a pity that he ended up in the end.
He himself had a poor touch, missing more than a dozen three-pointers from outside and only scoring two. Who can you blame? Even though he made all 19 free throws tonight, he only scored a measly 23 points in the end.
.Just when Harden was praying that Tang Qian would not score high points, Tang Qian faced the Timberwolves and All-Star insider Towns and scored 48 points, doubling the score again.
Four consecutive games, already crazy. This week Tang Qian once again averaged 57 points per game. Not only was he re-elected as the Western Conference Player of the Week last week, but his scoring average was close to 35 points per game.
This time, the gap finally seems to be not that big. Of course, it will be more difficult to increase the score later, and a pyramid pattern has begun to appear. The higher you go, the harder it is to break through and increase. Harden has been miserable this week.
, only scored 28.3 points. Tang Qian also surpassed him by twice as much.
The word "double kill" suddenly began to appear frequently in the names of the two people. Naturally, Harden was the negative and disadvantaged one. This made Harden unable to bear it anymore. By the next game, he finally returned to his true colors and started to
A lot of offense, don't tell me about this game. Rondo didn't know if it was to cooperate with Tang Qian, but he actually asked the whole team to defend Harden, which made Harden's game extremely difficult. You have to know, people don't want to
To win, they are a lottery team anyway and can afford to lose. On the contrary, they will not be like those playoff teams and must play well. They have no pressure and it is best if they can lose to the bottom.
Therefore, the coaching staff and management are too lazy to care about how the players play on the court.
Well, as long as you don't win too much, it will ruin the plan.
This made Harden furious and began to attack the Thunder. Although the Thunder's lineup is indeed average, it does not mean that it is ineffective for a group of people to defend you. Rondo was still cunning in this game, just letting two people
A lot of double-teaming Harden. One of the reasons why Harden did not perform well in the playoffs is that his one-on-one ability has reached its peak. At least with the magic of touching porcelain, there is no objection to reaching this level. But in the playoffs, people
Start letting go of some players in a targeted manner, that is, when you are being tricked, if your outside players are not accurate at this time, you must beat them yourself. One versus two, Harden will not be effective.
Except for hitting the porcelain, the rest of the tricks are not very effective against strong shots. Even the magic skills developed this season, step back + shrimp jumper, are the same. They are all one-on-one magic skills, otherwise one versus two
, if you go to fight alone on the left-hand side, he won't be able to use this move. There are people in front, how can he fight? It's just that the Rockets' configuration is a magic ball that can be stretched to the limit. There are many shooters who dare to shoot, and Capela can take advantage of it.
The pie is also great, and Harden himself is also an extremely good passer, otherwise he would not be able to win the former assists title in time and space. Generally speaking, he does not dare to be too strong in double-teaming and assisting defense, and his passing ability is also limited.
It's not covered.
This will give Harden a lot of one-on-one opportunities in the regular season. If he doesn't dare to help defend or double-team, he will become the king of singles. But in this game, the Thunder almost had two people to take care of him, and Harden became
There is nothing he can do. He is struggling. His physical fitness and shooting movements are not the kind of hard work, but Rondo is still there, and the trash talk inherited from Garnett is not only good.
, and it smells very bad.
How can you compare with a tyrant? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?
How long has it been since you saw clearly what you look like? Your beard has been blocking you for so long that you don’t even remember what you look like.
Why did I deliberately prevent you from getting points tonight? What, are you angry? I deliberately harmed you? I just want to ask you if you are angry!!!
Harden couldn't bear it anymore. After a ball was pulled down by Rondo for a personal foul, he immediately spat at Rondo:
You've already left the Lakers? Are you still speaking for that guy? Are you his dog!!!
Rondo didn't care at all and said: He is my boss and my brother. He has never regarded us as dogs, but you. When you say that, is that what you think in your heart? Oops, then what?
Your teammates are so miserable, they are all dogs in your eyes.
As soon as Harden said this, he felt a few strange looks coming from his side. He suddenly woke up and retorted loudly: Don't fart! When did I say that?
Rondo laughed and said: You never said that, but you think so, I just said it for you. Boss Tang said that some people will look at others how they think. Isn't this just right for you?
Before Harden could say anything else, Rondo immediately added another blow and said:
Also, what's the future for following you? Even if I really want to be a dog, I won't be a dog for someone like you. If I follow someone, I can at least win a championship, wear a ring, and get a big contract. Can you give me
Who are your teammates? All of you, please listen to my advice and leave Houston immediately after your contract expires. Don’t give up on the Pearl of Montreal.
I……
Harden is really not good at talking, at least when it comes to men. He almost suffered internal injuries from being sprayed by an old cannon like Rondo. If he continues, he is really afraid of the Mosaic team's entire heart.
They were all stirred up by him, which would be troublesome. So Harden could only think about getting it back on the court.
Beat up this little dwarf who talks bullshit!!! That will do!!!
Yes, this is correct, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you can really hit it, you can indeed give the most powerful counterattack, but the premise is that you can do it. I have no intention of winning tonight, and I am still far from the bottom.
In some games, if they lose, the management will not only not talk about Rondo, but also secretly praise Rondo, saying that he is a sensible person. Harden is trapped in this cycle of singles, even if there are many people surrounding him, he
He still has to take shots and play hard. Of course, it is impossible for him to not score at all. A super scorer at this level is no joke. However, it is okay if the efficiency is greatly reduced. Rondo is a person who relies on his brain to play. Cousin
Siyuan Shikong admired Rondo very much and envied the former's head. He wished he could grow it on his own head. While Rondo was spouting trash talk, he calmly directed the team to surround Harden. Harden had almost no room to make any moves other than touching porridge.
With opportunities, you have to fight hard. Without extraordinary explosive power and first step, it is difficult to break through.
Rhythm breakthrough, one-on-one is a powerful weapon, but one-to-many is far different from the explosive breakthrough of body flow. If you don’t play basketball, you will understand the difference if you play games. Playing rhythm ball, the biggest
One point is... you need space to take action. Whether it's a step back or something, it's all used to open up space. Harden's hard move, the only thing that's really scary is the porcelain. But now a group of people are surrounding,
Not even reaching out is enough for Harden to lose sight of him in the crowd.
Paul is going crazy on the side, but if they don't give you the ball, you have no choice but to be a fixed-point turret. In this way, Harden won't be able to use it when he retreats and is surrounded by others.
He wanted to prove himself again and counterattack Rondo's bad mouth, but he was suddenly involved tonight. The whole performance was extremely reluctant. Although he scored 30+, the Mosaics lost in the end. One game was obviously okay.
It was easy to win the ball, but it was lost in such an unclear way, and it was still a weak and underdog Thunder team. It was simply unbearable for Paul. But now the entire Houston coaching staff supports Harden and there should be no civil strife. Paul can only play in the game.
Later he said: I think our team needs to change the style of play a little bit. It is not a good thing to rely too much on one person.
But this doesn't sound like that to Harden, and it's not for the good of the team, but for himself.
Suddenly, the conflicts between him and Paul began to get deeper and deeper.
