James. Harden, averaging 11 assists per game.

This number even surpasses Chris. Paul, Rajan. Rondo and Ricky. Rubio and other playmaker point guards.

So before the game began, there was a comparison between Link's and Harden's playmaking skills.

When he saw this contrast, Link couldn't help but want to laugh.

With Harden's way of assisting, who can't get a dozen assists!

Today, Link proved on the pitch that he wasn't megalomaniacal. Because of his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Harrell, he easily scored four assists in a single quarter of the game!

Of course, unlike Harden, Link didn't make a single mistake while delivering four assists.

And Harden alone had two turnovers in the first quarter of the game.

Harrell and Link's pick-and-roll play was impressive, allowing the Rockets to be completely passive in the first quarter.

D'Antoni must be very unhappy at this time, not only because the Rockets are in a backward position, but also because the Grizzlies are completely using the Rockets to deal with them!

The blocking of Harden and Capela was perfectly transplanted to Link and Harrell.

To be exact, Link and Harrell are doing better than Harden and Capela!

In order to curb Link and Harrell's pick-and-roll, D'Antoni once asked Capela to play against Harrell to curb the impact of the wild No. 4 on the basket.

But in doing so, Gasol got a couple of opportunities to single Anderson in the low post.

Although Anderson, who is 2.08m, is a No. 4 position, his ability to protect the frame is almost negligible.

If it weren't for Harrell's inability to open up space, Gasol Jr. would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted in the low post today.

After the first quarter, the Rockets trailed by 11 points. And that's thanks to Eric who came off the bench. Gordon did a great job to close the gap a bit.

After watching the first quarter of the game, Draymond. Green was so angry that he almost missed punching the TV.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and seeing the Rockets being suppressed by the Grizzlies and powerless, Green is angry.

Why is the rocket so fierce when it hits the Warriors, and it softens when it touches the grizzly bear?

Scene, Hubi. Brown and Kevin. Harlan also laughed, "Although Harden has repeatedly hit exaggerated triple-doubles this season, Link's versatility is still superior. ”

"That's why Link is at the top of the MVP rankings, and Harden has to work a little harder to reach Link's heights."

The commentators were chatting and laughing easily, and the fans at the scene held up signs with the words "25 consecutive wins" written on them and swayed.

James. Harden looked around, expressionless.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past. He and his team are being looked down upon again!

"James, I need you to increase your shots in the second quarter! We have to equalise as soon as possible and now the situation is very bad for us! D'Antoni nervously walked up to Harden.

What is a manager's biggest fear? It's just that the game didn't go as he planned and expected at all!

In D'Antoni's plan, it should be Harden and Capela's pick-and-roll that causes problems for the Grizzlies.

But now, everything is turned upside down.

"If necessary...... Make a foul and go to the free throw line! In any case, we must launch a counterattack in the second half! ”

After D'Antoni finished speaking, Harden nodded silently.

The Grizzlies don't have a 25-game winning streak to start the game, and to be honest, Harden doesn't care.

But if the Grizzlies want to take this record on the head of the Rockets, Harden won't agree!

Soon, the electronic beep sounded into Harden's ears.

He quickly got up from the bench and staggered twice.

The trick of blocking and dismantling with Capela was cracked by the Grizzlies, and now Harden wants to see if the Grizzlies can take over the next wave of offense!

The game restarted, and the Rockets took the lead in the second quarter.

Wade stood in front of Harden calmly, believing that the bearded man could no longer make any waves.

Once, the young Thunder Sanshao was beaten powerless in front of the Heat. The Finals against the Thunder was also the only time the Heat Big Three won the cup.

So in Wade's inherent impression, Harden is still the same young child. From start to finish, Wade was extremely confident psychologically.

Harden looked at Wade and began to quickly change hands under his crotch.

Harden's dribbling moves are honestly not the best-looking, and the words smart and chic are not appropriate for Harden.

But Harden's rhythm is very well controlled, so you can often see him pass the opponent with a seemingly simple move.

Wade put one hand in front of Harden, but his lower body was ready to retreat.

At this time, Harden suddenly straightened up, as if he was about to break through!

Wade hurriedly took a step back, but in the next second, Harden also retreated!

Both sides retreated at the same time, and the space was opened up in an instant. After stepping back to a position one step away from the three-point line, Harden made a decisive jumper.

Wade tried his best to reach out and interfere, but the space that Harden shook out was too big for Wade to reach!

And just like that, Harden made a quick hand.

Now, the only thing that can affect Harden's shooting percentage is probably the distance he shoots.

But in this day and age, shooting from beyond the three-point line is the norm for many players.

So is Link, so is Harden!

"Brush!"

"The ball is in, James. Harden's step-back is beautiful! Wade was completely teased this time around, and the Rockets managed to narrow the margin to single digits. ”

Harden's performance was like a shot in the arm to reinvigorate the lifeless Rockets.

"Damn, my bad." Wade raised his hand and gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Harden's offense just now refreshed his perception of that bearded man.

"I'll do it next round, Dwayne!" Link patted Wade on the back and said a word to him.

Although Link trusts Wade very much, he must admit that the current "Flash" can't prevent Harden!

Harden has a hundred ways to play Wade to death.

Wade nodded, not dating.

In the first quarter of the game, Link defended Harden and forced him to make two turnovers, and it seems that now, it is still up to Link to "entertain"

Harden can do it.

Then the Grizzlies' offense, Gasol's low-post singles were missed by Capela and Anderson.

Harrell's inability to open up space was exposed, and once Gasol had the ball in the low post, Capela immediately shrank back.

The Grizzlies missed the attack, and the Rockets counterattacked!

As soon as Harden received the basketball and was about to pass the half-court quickly, he found that Link had crossed in front of him!

He's like a ghost, with Harden.

Against Link, Harden had to cautiously control the ball and was forced to slow down.

Link single-handedly blocked the rocket's counterattack!

Harden slowly approached the Grizzlies halfcourt, and he knew that scoring on Link wasn't as easy as he had just faced Wade.

Link has a keen nose for defence and is always able to anticipate your next move.

Harden admits that scoring against Link's defense is difficult.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is a way!

After Harden got close to the three-point line, he reached out and called Capela up.

The Grizzlies fans at the scene began to heckle with disdain, this trick has been proven to have no effect in the first quarter, and Harden is still playing like this!

Link was on guard, knowing Harden wouldn't be that stupid. Although this guy was once elbowed to the head by Artest, his IQ was not knocked out.

As soon as Capela was in place, Harden kicked in. At the same time, Link is also actively bypassing the cover and preparing to continue to stay in front of Harden.

But the moment Link and Capela made physical contact, he felt like he was being pushed against Harden!

At the same time, Harden jumped up and shot like this with his arm on Link.

"What's the situation!?" Link was momentarily stunned, what kind of block is this!

Where is there a blocker who deliberately pushes a defender on a teammate.

However, the next second, when the referee blew the whistle for Link to shoot for a foul, Link suddenly realized.

From the very beginning, Harden didn't want to attack seriously! His goal is to make fouls!

Touch porcelain on the line!

And this time I touched the porcelain, and it was very high and level.

Capela, as a coverer, actually deliberately pushed Link towards Harden. Link was completely caught in the middle, and there was no way to dodge.

The shocking "Meat Sandwich Bun Foul Law" was born!

", that's despicable!" Off the field, Dinwiddie couldn't help but scold.

When did even making fouls become a profession, and I actually worked out a way to make fouls with the cooperation of two people.

Jogger didn't speak, just sighed to himself.

Harden neither intentionally hurt or break the rules. To say that he is despicable is not quite appropriate.

Although it is very unpleasant to be touched, I have to say that this is competitive sports.

The result of victory is the most important thing, as for how to win, as long as you don't break the rules, then it's up to everyone.

The reason why the "Magic Ball Theory" completely abandons the middle distance is that the middle distance is the least efficient way to score in statistics.

And what is the most efficient means of scoring? It's a free throw!

Therefore, in addition to the three-point line and the three-second zone, free throws are also an important scoring means in the "magic ball theory" system for you!

And now in the rocket array, there is just a master of foul making.

Harden steps to the free-throw line, and he'll continue to close the score.

In an instant, the difference became 6 points, and the gap between the two teams was already very small.

Link wasn't wrong, and the battle didn't really begin until Harden actually made a move.
