The Clippers' first offense ended in nothing, and in retrospect, the Rockets' Harden and Morris made a block in the high post, and after the disassembly, Harden gave Morris a non-human hit from the gap in the Clippers' defense, and Morris directly received the ball and dunked.

The cheers of the fans at the Rockets burst into flames.

Morris, as a skilled No. 4 position, although the mid-range and back-to-back play under the basket are not particularly good, but he has a strong sense of position in the offense, and this one-stop after the downturn is already at the top level of the NBA.

Tang Shuai was carefully observing from the field at this time.

If you want to say that the Rockets players he is not familiar with, it may be the Morris who has just been traded, as the eldest brother of the Morris brothers, Markieff. Morris is clearly the tougher one, both offensively and defensively, full of confrontation.

He scanned it with the packing system and found that Morris was wearing a purple suit, a purple power pack, a rebounding pack, a defense pack, and an air cut pack, and the attributes were all preferred in the purple skill pack, and even the three-pack was blue.

It can be seen that Morris has the kind of strength that is somewhere between a rotation player and a superstar, and it is no wonder that he can not fall behind in the opening battle with Griffin.

The game between the Clippers and the Rockets continued on the court, and after seeing that Griffin couldn't take advantage of Morris too much, Paul followed up with his best pick-and-roll, passing or shooting, and the Clippers played with a clear eye under his command.

Although Redick's trade reduced the starter's three-point shooting ability by a large margin, Paul adjusted his offensive strategy in time and played more passes and catches. That didn't hurt the Clippers' offense too much.

But even then, the Clippers didn't take much advantage. The emergence of Morris solves the Rockets' weakness at the power forward position, and Harden can free his hands and feet to attack.

Harden's offense is actually very simple. The most sure thing to score points is the three board axes, breakthroughs, three points and retreat steps, but these three board axes are difficult for ordinary people to defend, you prevent him from breaking through, he will distance himself from you with a step back, you prevent him from stepping back, he will break through to the basket with a false dangling, and a little bit of a person is not followed, and raising his hand is a three-point hit.

can be called the league's No. 1 quarterback after Kobe Bryant by a large part of fans. Harden's strength is really not covered.

Just what Tang Shuai saw, the bearded breakthrough package, the bearded three-pack, the bearded retreat, and Harden touching the porcelain bag, there are four exclusive skill packages, which is also a real embodiment of strength, in terms of the players currently contacted, it is second only to Curry.

However, Harden didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack at the beginning. It's more about playing with Morris.

At 18:16, the two sides played like this for half a quarter, and the Rockets maintained a slight lead.

The Rockets took the lead in making personnel changes at this time, replacing Morris with Motai Yunas.

Motaiyunas improved dramatically last season. has become the team's offensive point, and this time the Rockets coach Billstaff replaced him early after returning from injury, hoping that he can get back to form as soon as possible.

Motaiyunas came up. Harden did a few pick-and-roll combinations with him, which was not much different from Morris's before. However, after returning from injury, Motaiyunas's form was significantly worse than before, and he made a mistake in receiving the ball. One was interfered with for a layup, and the other was even taken by Jordan Jr., and failed to score on several consecutive offenses.

At 22:18, the Clippers took advantage of the momentum to catch up and overtake the score.

As soon as Harden saw that the momentum was wrong, he immediately chose to step up.

First, a three-point shot after a block, followed by a stepback step in the face of Stephenson, and five points in a row to bite the score.

At this point, Paul hit a dog-steady mid-range shot after blocking and picking, and Harden returned to his head and was ready to single Stephenson.

Stephenson's defense is fierce, but he still can't keep up with Harden's sudden appearance.

Harden shook Stephenson a little bit with a realistic feint, followed by a sudden acceleration to the basket.

Stephenson retracted and was firmly attached.

Harden leaned on a three-step layup.

When he stepped on the third step, Harden dribbled up and was about to shoot, Stephenson wanted to interfere, but before the ball could be touched, the whistle on the sideline sounded.

The referee held out his hand and pointed at Stephenson, signaling that he had committed a foul, and it was a thug.

This time, Stephenson's whole person exploded, just now he just stretched out his hand, and he didn't even have time to do the action of blocking, how could it be a thug foul!

Stephenson chased the referee's theory, but the referee didn't react, just frowned, and then completely ignored Stephenson's saliva.

Stephenson became more and more excited, and the saliva was about to spray in the referee's face.

After the league introduced a zero-tolerance policy, as long as there was a slight argument with the referee, raising his hand would be a technical foul, but I don't know if I knew that the judgment was a little biased, and the referee just avoided Stephenson and did not mean to blow a technical foul.

Seeing this, Paul hurriedly grabbed Stephenson, in this case, Stephenson wants to say again, it must be a T.

Stephenson saw that the referee was completely indifferent, and Paul also came to pull him, and his mood stabilized temporarily.

Tang Shuai sat on the sidelines, his brows furrowed.

Harden touches the bag: In the face of normal defensive intensity, there is a 40% chance of causing the opponent to foul regardless of whether the offense is successful or not, and when facing a high-intensity defense, regardless of whether the offense is successful or not, there is a 60% chance of causing the opponent to foul.

Really took a closer look at this skill package, Tang Shuai found something that made him a little speechless, the previous skill packs, even Curry, when facing defense, the success rate of offense will decrease with the increase of defensive intensity, but this skill package is just the opposite!

In other words, the greater the defensive intensity, the more likely Harden is to make a foul!

At this moment, Tang Shuai was speechless, and at the same time, he finally understood why Harden was so difficult to defend, what do you say about three points, stepping back, and breaking through, like George or Tony. A defensive stalwart like Allen can put a lot of pressure, but when you put that pressure on, it means that you are more likely to be fouled.

This...... Compared to Curry's three-pack that ignores defense, the ability is really comparable, and it's no wonder that Stephenson is so crazy.

Although Stephenson didn't argue anymore, it was obvious that he was still very emotional.

It was also at this dead-ball time that the Rockets made another personnel change, replacing Ariza and Beverley with Thorton and Lawson.

Seeing this, Kassel waved his hand, and Tang Shuai, Brewer, and Smith all came off the bench.

When Tang Shuai got up, Harden just glanced back, and the two of them looked at each other unconsciously, which made him suddenly feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Harden!

Harden's free throw pack was purple and he hit two free throws safely.

At 26:24, with these two free throws, the Rockets regained the lead in the score.

Cassel called a short timeout.

When the players who were going to play gathered together, Cassel directly nodded at Tang Shuai and said: "Wait a while, Tang Shuai will attack, Harden's defense is very bad, let's seize a point and beat him down, as soon as he comes, the Rockets will collapse." ”
