Chapter 1039

The two sides started to stand still, and the fans cheered up. The battle between the Rockets and the Warriors was about to start!

Kenmore still played his role faithfully. He first said some things that need attention to the players on both sides, made a few gestures to them, and then blew the whistle that the game was about to start.

Both Howard and Bogut are old acquaintances, who can do what and who can't do what, I have a plan in my heart.

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Howard soared into the sky, easily getting the ball for the team.

The basketball transitioned in Harden's hands, and then Jason Terry took the ball and ran to the frontcourt.

The rhythm of the Rockets was obviously faster. When the five came to the frontcourt, the time had only passed five seconds.

The Warriors' defensive strategy is very clear. They are optimistic about Howard on the inside and Harden on the outside.

This strategy seems simple at first glance, but considering the abilities of Howard and Harden, it is not an easy task.

Especially Klay Thompson.

At this stage, his defense is not as tough as it will be in a few years!

And because most of the time before that he was responsible for the team's offense, he was not very good at defense.

But he has his enthusiasm and dedication to basketball.

The basketball came into Harden's hands, and he stepped forward to cling to it immediately.

Thompson's idea is very simple, just not to make Harden comfortable.

But to be able to grow into the core of the team, Harden's ability is not that simple.

Moreover, in the past two years, he has fully proved himself, proving that the offensive end is definitely at the top of the league!

coming!

The fans at the scene were refreshed, Harden lowered his center of gravity, and immediately started his heads-up.

There is the body, there is the confrontation.

There are feints.

More unpredictable shooting ability.

At this time, Harden, like a black panther, was waiting for Thompson to show his flaws and opened his bloody mouth to attack fiercely.

Although Thompson is the weaker one, he has a quick footstep and can always keep up with his moving speed.

However, his physical disadvantages and experience in defense are not enough for him to block successfully.

I saw that Harden used his fake moves and fake step-back jumpers to trick Thompson into shooting by others.

The whistle sounded.

Kenmore gave the whistle immediately.

When Harden made the shot, the shape of his hand was seriously out of shape, and the basketball did not hit.

And because the number of free throws is not enough, it's just that the ball is in the hands of the Rockets.

At this moment.

The Warriors' defense has changed.

There is almost no need to worry about the inside line. Bogut basically looks dead on Howard.

When outside Curry was marking Jason Terry, he had already begun to tentatively double-team Harden.

Such a change did not attract Harden's attention.

At this stage, to be honest, he is still a little lonely.

So when he launched an attack again, even though Ariza on the outside had a chance and made a move to catch the ball at any time, Harden still launched a breakthrough under Curry's resolute double-team!

The final result is beyond doubt. Even if the star whistle is biased towards Harden, Thompson and Curry are not ordinary players.

Mistake!

then.

As the first quarter progressed, Harden played more and more unhappy, and other teammates also played more and more unmotivated.

After all, running back and forth with Harden makes no one happy.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, McHale finally called a timeout.

But now that the Rockets are eight points behind the Warriors at home, it's too late to call a timeout.

Commentary seat.

Jeff Van Gundy frowned slightly, and sprayed directly: "If I were the coach of the Rockets, I would immediately call a timeout when Harden's brain became hot, and put him on the bench to cool down for a while!"

"The Rockets have the current situation, one is Harden's uncalmness, and the other is McHale's poor improvisation!"

Reggie Miller and Rick Barry nodded one after another. After all, this is the truth, and the three of them are not ordinary people.

"As for the Warriors, although they have some defensive problems on the back line, they are very active, and Stephen and Clay have a lot of communication!"

"But the most surprising thing is that they seem to absorb some of the Cavaliers' defense, and their defensive ability is becoming stronger little by little."

Reggie Miller took over.

Rick Barry said: "Although the Rockets have some problems, I believe that as long as James Harden calms down and Dwight can stand up, then this game will be played."

That is to say, but can the Rockets really come out?

Looking at their tense atmosphere now, it might be a bit difficult for them to find themselves immediately.

soon.

Pause ends.

This time McHale was also considered bold, except that Harden was put off the court, and Corey Brewer took his position, and the other starters did not end.

have to say.

This is very unpleasant news for Harden.

But the game is like this, and now is not the time to be willful.

Since you're not playing well, then adjust yourself off the court, there's nothing wrong with it.

Don't say it.

After replacing Harden, the team's tactics revolved around Howard, and the Rockets gradually took control of the rhythm on the court.

Because Bogut couldn't defend successfully alone, and even lost two fouls on Howard because of his irrationality.

Simply Howard's free throws were super bad and did not bring damage to the Warriors.

But with the end of the first quarter, the Rockets naturally chased the score back, making the score 24:25, only one point behind the Warriors.

Back off the field.

The Warriors are a little nervous here.

Steve Kerr knew his temper. They played poorly just now, so it is inevitable that he will be sprayed by him now.

Coaches who come from players, in addition to controlling the situation on the court well, their tempers are also getting bigger and bigger.

As far as Steve Kerr is now, he really wants to eat them.

If he hadn't gotten used to Cole's style long ago, I'm afraid the players would have fucked up a long time ago!

But right now I'm not in a good mood.

As for the Rockets, Harden is the one who is uncomfortable.

This is true and confirms the saying that whoever is not is embarrassed.

And Jeff Van Gundy and the others in the commentary are talking loudly at the moment.

"I have to say that Dwight is still one of the top insiders in the league!"

"Although he has some injury problems and his statistics are different from previous seasons, as long as he is there, the Rockets will be stable inside."

Jeff Van Gundy admired Howard very much this time, after all, he is a coach who has a soft spot for centers.

Reggie Miller and Rick Barry were snickering at the moment.

This guy just slammed the Rockets, but now he suddenly changed his face. It's not true.

But it’s okay, the commentator is like this, if you perform well, I will praise you, and if you perform poorly, I will spray you, it’s just whether the tone and vocabulary are serious.
