NBA: Bind the ability of Sakuragi Flower Road at the beginning

The Lakers attacked, this time Xu Feng received the ball at the waist, and Ariza defended Xu Feng alone.

It seems that the Rockets still didn't pay much attention to Xu Feng, and they still defended alone.

Xu Feng was not polite, he made a feint, taking advantage of the moment when Ariza's center of gravity shifted, Xu Feng dashed to the left.

This speed is faster than many defenders.

Although Ariza's defensive skills are very strong, but in the face of Xu Feng's speed, he can only lament.

When Xu Feng arrived in the penalty area, facing Capela's defense, he first bent to the left, then turned to the right and went to the basket.

This trick is the gyro turn of the "French little sports car".

Generally, only small players can turn so flexibly, but Xu Feng's 206 big man is so coordinated, it is simply amazing.

Part of the Rockets' home audience couldn't help applauding. This ball was really exciting.

When he got to the basket, Xu Feng faced Kong Lan and tapped it lightly with one hand, extremely chic!
In the next game, both the Lakers and the Rockets played extremely high offensive and defensive levels, and the score was also very stalemate, never exceeding the 5-point difference.

Harden was extremely efficient. He made 8 of 7 shots in the first quarter, scored 22 points, and made 6 free throws.

Xu Feng didn't take many shots in the first quarter, only took 5 shots, scored 4 goals and scored 10 points.

However, Xu Feng's focus in the first quarter was to let his teammates open up, so he reduced his shots.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 34:32, with the Rockets leading by 2 points.

Harden played so well that the Rockets only led by 2 points. It has to be said that the overall strength of the Lakers is still very strong.

The two sides replaced the substitute lineup.

After the Rockets lost Howard, they strengthened the bench lineup. Gordon, Lu Wei, Brewer, Harrell, and Decker are all strong.

After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets clearly had the upper hand in the substitute matchup.

But the Lakers' substitutes started with defense and played steadily. Although the scene was restrained, they did not fight randomly and still gritted their teeth and persisted.

The point difference between the two teams continued to widen. At 5 minutes and 24 seconds into the second quarter, the score between the two sides was 46:37, and the Rockets led by 9 points.

D'Antoni had no choice but to call a timeout.

The Rockets this season are impressive, and they have indeed improved in their style of play.

The Rockets played a small lineup, accelerated their speed, and used Harden's perimeter deterrence to increase the space for all players.

This style of play is a bit like the Warriors, but not quite the same.

After the main force entered the field, Xu Feng began to exert his strength.

In the first quarter, Xu Feng mainly observed the changes in the Rockets' play style and the degree of Harden's evolution.

He found that Harden was more determined to break through this season. In addition to touching porcelain, he also increased the pick-and-roll cooperation with Capela.

So Capela's scoring has exploded this season, basically eating cakes.

And Ariza on the outside, Anderson on the inside, and guard Beverly, the three-pointers are not low.

In this way, the deterrence of Harden's breakthrough is greatly increased, because he has many options, such as hanging inside or passing outside to shoot.

And Harden himself has a strong three-point ability.

In this way, the "magic ball" style of play that the Rockets have been pursuing for many years has completely broken through.

Harden also played the strongest personal performance since leading the team.

The reason why he ranked second in MVP is mainly because his defense is not as good as Xu Feng's, and Xu Feng's performance in leading the team is too good, so Harden can only rank second.

Harden is currently averaging 34 points per game, and Xu Feng is averaging 2 points per game, so Harden still has the advantage in scoring in a single round.

Xu Feng could see that although the Rockets were playing very lively, as long as Harden was choked, the Rockets would stop.

Although it is difficult to defend Harden, Xu Feng will still try his best to do it.

"Wade, I'm coming!" Xu Feng whispered in Wade's ear, Wade understood, and he went to guard Ariza.

When Harden saw Xu Feng standing in front of him, he was still a little nervous. After all, Harden had been defeated in front of Xu Feng in the previous two seasons.

And Xu Feng was also a DPOY for two seasons.

However, Harden has evolved again this season. Many defensive players on the team have nothing to do with Harden.

Harden didn't dare to neglect, called Capela to come out, blocked Xu Feng, and then he planned to rush to the bottom line from the left.

But Xu Feng's footsteps were too fast, and with a whoosh, he squeezed past the cover and stood in front of Harden again.

Harden had no choice but to stop calling a screen and start dribbling. He wanted to pass Xu Feng through his skillful dribbling.

You know, this season Harden's singles efficiency ranks first in the league, and it is far ahead.

Countless defensive champions have been teased by Harden, so Harden has to show off his singles skills in front of Xu Feng.

Before the game, Xu Feng studied Harden's game video for several hours, and he was very familiar with his moves and shaking patterns.

He stood in front of Harden with his legs spread out, his long arms outstretched, and his concentration was high.

Harden dribbled the ball and made several fake moves, but Xu Feng didn't move at all. Harden panicked a little.

He tried to break through to the right again, trying to let Xu Feng move over.

But Xu Feng just moved quickly, but the center of gravity did not shake, which made Harden very embarrassed.

There were only more than 2 seconds left in the attack time, Harden was helpless, his teammates were stared to death, and there was no space, so he had to take a step back and take a three-pointer.

Xu Feng knew that he was going to shoot a three-pointer, so this time, Xu Feng jumped up without hesitation.

Because he knows that Harden is out of time, this is definitely not a fake move.

Snapped!
The moment Harden shot, the ball was knocked down by Xu Feng.

Having no choice but to kill it, Xu Feng quickly followed up, clicked again, and launched a fast attack.

Harden's size is an advantage, but his turns are brutal.

So after he was intercepted by Xu Feng, he could only turn around and stare at Xu Feng in a daze, killed half of the court, and dunked and scored!

For the Lakers players of this team, it is a huge encouragement.

The Rockets players are a little discouraged, because Harden is the tactical engine of the Rockets.

If Harden is really locked up by Xu Feng, then the rest of the Rockets will not have the ability to attack independently, and the Rockets will be over.

The Rockets resumed their offense and the ball came to Harden again.

Xu Feng stood in front of Harden and shouted in a low voice: "Harden again!"

The duel between the stars of the two teams is really amazing. This is what the fans like most.
Harden once again offered his singles stunt, but unfortunately, Xu Feng would not be fooled if he didn't dare to shake it.

Harden almost passed Xu Feng several times, but Xu Feng moved quickly, and stopped in front of Harden again like a ghost.

Harden was furious. During a breakthrough, he suddenly raised his hands, wanting to have a touch.

But Xu Feng could tell from his expression, because there was a sly look in Harden's eyes.

So Xu Feng put his hands behind his back and stood up straight without moving.

Harden threw the ball out by himself, didn't even hit the rebound, and went straight out of the baseline.
