It can be seen with the naked eye that Houston is already divided internally. Paul basically had no communication with Harden at the pre-game press conference. Both of them answered their own questions. It seems that this situation is already
They broke up publicly. ESPN's gossip said that the two people are no longer talking. They are on the same page. After the third game, they even did not want to see each other face to face in the locker room. Although there is still another game, everyone with a discerning eye knows it.
, the game ended early after the last game. Behind 0-3, in this situation, it is impossible for the Mosaic team to make a successful comeback.
Because they are already in civil strife.
The core players can't unite and still want to win? Even a team as strong as O.K., two of the top ten stars in history, the founders of dynasties, when they can't join forces to fight against the enemy on the court, that's when they will decline.
Yes. This is an obvious thing.
There are no surprises. Discord off the field is okay, as long as we fight well on the field, but if there is internal strife on the field, then there is no chance of winning.
When Paul saw Harden's expression tonight, he knew that Harden had never thought about changing. Instead, he wanted to use this last game to give himself a beautiful season-ending talisman. This scene made Paul feel a little bit.
It's funny. He almost forgot what he came here for.
No. 24 said that it would be difficult for him to win the championship with his style of play. At the time, he thought it was just to attract attention, but now that he thinks about it... haha.
He is a fan of his own authority.
Forget it, you can play if you want. Anyway, we are 0-3 behind and we will lose. You can do whatever you want. It’s time for me to think about my future. After this season, I will be with him.
With his current relationship, it is estimated that there is a high probability of being sent away. He is also old, and it is impossible for the team to choose to keep him. It is not that he does not understand this practical problem.
So Paul had no intention of actively asking for the ball at the beginning of tonight. His fighting spirit had been burned out in the last game. If he couldn't advance to the game, he would just linger. If you want to use it as a show, go for it.
Harden was very satisfied when he saw that Paul was so cooperative with him tonight and got out of the way as soon as he came over.
Although you will definitely get out, but you are so self-conscious, I will give you a more decent way to get out.
My future is to surpass Kobe and become the man closest to Jordan. I don’t care if I have you as a washed-up star at the No. 1 position. You are here now, but it is hindering me from displaying my invincible singles power.
.But since the Lakers have defended Harden in the previous two games, and the targeting effect has been very good, they will naturally continue their efforts now. In Tang Qian's words, they will sweep it directly to avoid delay and trouble.
So you will see that Harden starts to attack from the very beginning.
The Lakers still have a lot of defensive experience, so they should wait for Harden to hold the ball for a while before attacking him. This will prevent him from shooting at his comfortable shooting rhythm. Harden seems to have thought of this, so he pulls up quickly.
A step-back three-pointer shot! It went in! There was no problem with George's defense, but the opponent still made the shot. This is a display of personal ability. There is nothing to blame. And seeing the posture of No. 13 on the opposite side,
Tang Qian understood.
This guy can't stand it any longer in the last scene.
Want a beautiful report card, and then go home to ensure that you can not be scolded or beaten? This is really a common problem of the "James family". This game came from Harden's opening play and the Mosaic team's position.
Look, you can tell that they no longer want to play for the sake of winning, they just want to get a good stat sheet to submit to the fans, and then end it, take a vacation, and go fishing.
Haha, today's teams and players are really scummy in terms of mental attributes. Even if he is as strong as No. 23 James, he was an absolute weakness in this aspect when he first debuted. It took so many years to get a lot better. Let me ask.
...You yourself don’t want to win or play for a comeback. How can miracles and God take the initiative to favor you? People who take the initiative can’t be favored by them, okay?
You're not their "illegitimate child" either, right?
So Harden won't be good for long. His three-pointers have never been so terrible in the playoffs. Besides, his defender Paul George is not a good person either. George is determined to turn this series into his own defense.
A classic battle. And the significance of defending a top super scorer is no less than scoring a high score. In order to change the opponent's rhythm control, we can see that the Mosaic team's No. 13 in this game
The shots are all relatively fast.
At least compared to the previous games, his shots have obviously sped up and his attack time has also been shortened.
This is of course effective. After all, the Lakers do not double-team without thinking from the beginning to the end. Therefore, they can grab time and quickly form a one-on-one situation. The opponent's double attack has no time to form. It also allows the defender to defend him for several games.
George was a little caught off guard. After all, the rhythm of his shots was different, which made George not used to it for a while. But there is a problem...that is, George is not used to it, and the Lakers are not used to it. So, is No. 13 his own body?
Are you used to it?
This is a big problem.
Especially since Harden is such a rhythm-dependent player.
Therefore, attacking like this is equivalent to destroying his own shooting rhythm.
I was originally worried that my opponent would wake up in this game and start a prairie fire. Before Tang Qian and Larry Brown could react, No. 13 of the Mosaic team started to strike. Dang Dang Dang~ He scored.
After 2 balls, he hit 4 irons in a row. The ferocious irons came so fast, like a tornado, and George himself was a little confused.
But Harden didn't stop, thinking that a few balls were nothing, and thought he had found a way to deal with the opponent's defensive system. So it was 3 goals again, shot, dribbling from the hip, stepping back, and looking up.
Jump shot!!! The whole action is done in one go and smoothly. This action is now his main offensive action, so it is normal to move according to the shape.
The movements are very cool, and this is one of Harden's few offensive skills that is more entertaining to watch.
And combined with the three-point ability of the shrimp jump shot, it makes people very fearful when defending. Even George does not dare to pounce too much. But if you are slower and the range of the pounce is smaller, people will directly shoot again. What a shame.
What a fucking trick! Under the current alliance rules, it is considered a very strong skill! This has led to a lot of people training this as a regular method now.
Doncic of the Mavericks is a typical example.
George was a little depressed. He had to hold back to defend a super scorer. How could this not be uncomfortable? But just when George was complaining in his heart, the basketball...bang bang bang~ hit several irons in a row! Then everyone in the game was embarrassed!
Harden himself is also embarrassed. Not one of these goals went in? What a bad luck!
I just modified the timing of my shot and reduced the dribbling time. Is it so inaccurate?
Oh, don't tell me, it's just like that. Harden's three-pointers, at least in the playoffs, have never been such a terrible weapon. 20% of the three-pointers are not an exception. They are the norm. And he forced adjustments.
By slowing down his shooting rhythm and reducing his dribbling time, he is invisibly destroying his offensive feeling. He is a person who needs to hold the ball and dribble a lot to have an offensive feeling.
Therefore, among the shooting guards, the one who sticks to the ball the most during offense, James Harden, is the first to bear the brunt.
So I have no choice but to change my style of play. Harden also understands what he is mainly here for tonight. His first priority is to score points, win or lose, etc. Anyway, there is no point in winning. The big score is 0
-3, can you still turn it over? So, just do your own data sheet. This is what he thinks. Paul also expected it, so basically he didn't yell or ask for more balls tonight, he just fulfilled his professionalism.
Run to the side to help No. 13 contain and pull away from the weak side.
Has Harden changed his style of play? To what? It’s simple, just hit the porcelain.
In the last game and the last one, he was too obsessed with shooting three-pointers, so not only did he not play well, but it also affected his offensive mentality. Today, I can't see that it's not working, but when I look at the three-pointers, it's like "Jingle Bells"
, replaced it immediately, and it hit the porcelain directly.
This shot was a breakthrough, fake hesitation, then a step back, and then... deliberately slow, waiting for George to come over, a jumper, beep, hit the porcelain, fell to the ground, and went directly to the free throw line to take three free throws. George was also depressed.
, no wonder this guy's popularity is so low. He can't even get an All-Star starting spot after playing this kind of data. It really makes sense. Who really loves playing like this? It makes me feel sick to defend him.
If you do this on the field, no one will want to play with you.
There will also be a bonus sentence for you: Do you think you are Harden?
Therefore, from professional to non-professional, Harden's reputation is not excellent. Going too far is the biggest problem. This is not what a real super player should do. However, if the rules allow it, what can you do?
There was nothing I could do. I could only see No. 13 making 3 of 3 free throws at the free throw line, taking all three points.
But it was also easy for the Lakers to score, because the opponent's defense had no motivation. With an easy free throw line response, Tang Qian gave the ball to Butler who cut through the air. Butler immediately made a strong impact with the ball.
, caused a foul, but because the game was still recovering, there was no 2+1. However, the free throw line also made 2 of 2 free throws.
Harden came here again, and there was another dribble retreat. George immediately rushed subconsciously, but quickly reacted and began to withdraw his strength. As a result, before he could stop his steps, his opponent had already moved.
Actively and forcefully approaching. What a "still as quiet as a virgin but as active as a stray rabbit". George was already determined to dodge the opponent's fadeaway jumper, but he couldn't resist... Harden's shot was a forward, forward jumper!!!!!!!
!!!
Ma Dedandan~~~~~~There are so many tricks, it’s hard to guard against them!!!
Beep beep, the whistle came again. When Harden saw the whistle, he immediately got up and went to the free throw line and made 3 of 3 free throws.
George also had three fouls and exchanged defenders with Butler, but did not go down.
When it was replaced by Butler, Harden became even more energetic, because he was so good at Butler's defense that he almost crushed every matchup. Butler's defense was either not good, or he was too tough on defense and had too many physical confrontations.
, so it is easy to be "touched". Harden started a continuous porcelain performance mode, which simply made the Lakers a little dizzy. Tang Qian took a look, this is a bit wrong, damn, playoffs
Isn't there something wrong with giving so many whistles?
But he looked at the referee, who had a poker face and didn't even look at him, as if he was ruthless and cruel. It looked normal, but it was actually not normal. Because with Tang Qian's current status in the league, the referee was
It will give him some face, and he will not be treated with a poker face. This is a special treatment for front-end players and popular fried chickens, but since it is not the case tonight, it is tantamount to telling Tang Qian... There is no way, the top is coming
We are just following the instructions. Don’t blame us. Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner, brother dei~
This bald CEO is getting more and more shameless. It's already 0-3, and he still wants to delay one more game? The more he becomes the president, the more he goes back.
But the joke also has its own justification. I did this for the benefit and profit of the alliance, but for you, I also gave you the privilege of being a red card. I have never withheld your whistle before. This you
You must understand my painstaking efforts.
Understand, understand your sister, understand! I don’t understand!
Joke, this is completely thankless behavior, because what Tang Qian wants is not this bullshit balancing act, but a truly fair and open competition. If he can achieve the latter, what if you don't give me the star whistle?
Stirring both sides, what do you call it? It's called a stir-up, neither of them can get any good results! What's funny is that the joke is that I still feel that I'm doing a good job, and neither side is left behind.
Harden also saw the direction of the whistle tonight. He is so sensitive in this regard. He immediately stepped up his offensive and became more and more unscrupulous. This is really, hahahahaha, look at Master Ha's incredible skills and score.
It's like picking something out of a bag. Indeed, the points increase is very fast, much faster than before, and even Harden once felt that he should have played like this earlier and shot less damn three-pointers. But, he
I don’t even think about whether he would have received such a big penalty bias in the previous games. Without penalty bias, his performance in the playoffs would have helped the Mosaics dig their own graves.
Harden scored 15 points in a row! 12 of them were free throws!
This is simply a struggle! And he scores continuously and is unstoppable. When a group of people shrink him, he can still hit the porcelain steadily and pick up things at the free throw line. This feeling really makes Harden feel so comfortable that he almost screams! Ji
It’s been so long since the playoffs, and it’s finally time to feel proud and proud. It’s finally time to return to my true self as a scorer averaging 36-37 points per game!
It’s finally time to show your true strength!!!
The feeling is here, the state is up, and there seems to be endless adrenaline all over his body. At this time, Harden really wants to reach out and shout with arrogance: You guys come together, why should anyone be afraid of me!!
!
This is what a scorer of his level should do.
The Lakers called a timeout to adjust and to interrupt Harden's momentum, but when they came up, the guy was still scoring. He had already scored almost 25 points. Where did he end up? This was the second time.
One section hasn’t been finished yet!
It’s explosive! This is it!
Hahahahaha~ Harden laughed wildly in his heart. This constant sense of power is the source of my confidence!
Come on, come on, everyone, I, Master Ha, have opened up the Ren and Du channels, and I am not afraid of anyone!
Come on, it doesn’t matter who comes! I’m going to play with someone tonight, so why be afraid!
Seeing this, seeing that the morale of the Mosaic team was a little boosted by one person on the 13th, a sudden voice said to Tang Qian: "No, are you really?"
You want him to continue to be so crazy? This is not your style, tyrant." The person who said this was actually... No. 3 Chris Paul on the opposite side!
This is really, a bit unexpected, but looking at the situation... ESPN's gossip is pretty accurate.
Tang Qian smiled, nodded to Paul, and then hit Harden again, trying to score the ball. When it came to a 2+1, the Lakers' No. 29 directly slapped him away with one hand.
Although Beverley still committed a foul, at least the 2+1 was gone. Harden glanced at Tang Qian with some annoyance, as if blaming him for "meddling in his own business." But in exchange, No. 29 said nothing.
The local voice said:
"Master Ha, that's not how you fight."
"That's not how the ball is played."
Wha, what the hell? The word "master" is not unfamiliar in foreign countries. Because of the spread of kung fu, many foreigners know this word. But if it's not done like this, how is it done? I'm confused, please teach me.
ah.
Don’t you see that even with thousands of troops and horses, I can’t stop you?
Tang Qian seemed to have read Harden's thoughts and said: "Don't worry, you will know soon."
PS: As promised, there will be another update~~~~~~~~~
