Chapter 49 Harden's Performance

In the United States, the same city has always been a deadly enemy, and the same city derby is very attractive.

Although the game between the Sun Devils and the Wildcats was a warm-up match, it also attracted a large number of fans and media.

The game between these two teams is a bit like the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers. The entanglement has been entangled for a long time, and as long as they meet, it will be a situation of sparks hitting the earth.

Today when the Sun Devils players entered the field, the Wildcats fans turned their backs to the field. Whenever DJ introduced a Sun Devils player into the field, they shouted "suck!"

The focus of media attention on the spot fell on the core new stars of the two teams, James Harden of the Sun Devils and Jared Bayless of the Wildcats. The duel between the two is the most anticipated.

Both are freshmen, both play guard positions, and both star high school students are recruited into the team as the core of the team. There are quite a lot of similarities between the two, and comparisons cannot but be drawn.

"Harden, today our main attacker is still you. You have to pay attention to striking a balance between organizing the team's offense and your individual offense. You have to dare to shoot. You can do it." Bob Hurley didn't like Harden It is also a bit of a headache to be willing to shoot. This guy sometimes chooses to pass the ball when he has a shooting opportunity. The team needs him to stand up and score, not just be a passer.

Harden nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Johnson and Hunter have to do pick-and-roll with Harden. Hawley and Hodge must be ready to catch and shoot while paying attention to their running positions. Qian Duoduo, you will come off the bench in this game." Hurley continued, the player They surrounded the coach and listened carefully, no one knew if they were serious or not, at least they had to show it on their appearance.

The Sun Devils' style of play is dominated by Harden, with three players pulling apart and two picking and rolling. This is somewhat similar to how Harden became the core of the team when he arrived in the Rockets.

At the beginning of the game, Johnson jumped the ball to help the Sun Devils get a priority offensive opportunity.

Harden dribbled the ball across half court, and two Wildcat players stepped forward to double-team. Before the double-team formed, Harden threw the ball to Johnson who had slipped into the Wildcats penalty area. Johnson caught the ball and turned around to complete a layup, starting the game. First shot.

"Harden! Harden! Harden!"

Arizona State University fans cheered loudly.

"This pass is awesome!" Stoudemire said in admiration.

Nash nodded. He is a pass organization master. He also thinks that Harden passed the ball well. If he keeps playing like this, the Wildcats may be in trouble.

However, the Wildcats responded quickly. With his strong personal ability, Jerry Bayless quickly tore through the Sun Devils' perimeter defense and rushed into the penalty area to throw a shot.

In the first few minutes, the two sides were on the court, attacking and defending each other. The overall strength was still better than the Wildcats, leading 10 to 6 by 4 points.

In addition to the outstanding performance of the guard Bayless, the Wildcats' 2-meter-high center Donald is also very good on the defensive end. He only allowed Johnson to steal two points in the interior at the beginning of the game, and Johnson never scored on him again. It's cheap, but let Donald have a big hat.

"This guy is too fucking tall, like a mountain, he can't climb over it!" Johnson lamented in his heart.

Bayless lobbed the ball into the Sun Devils penalty area on a quick run, and Donald ignored Johnson, who was circling in front of him, and leaped high behind Johnson.

"Bang!"

Dunk dunks!

After buckling in, Donald threw his fist and roared.

"Wow! I like this, this fit is great, the dunk is so hot! The Wildcats have a good big man!" Stoudemire exclaimed.He is also a well-known dunker himself, and his playing style is like a spring loaded. Many of the cooperation with Nash are completed by dunk dunks.Even when a big man as tall as Dayao was standing under the basket, he dared to fly up to dunk.

This ball ignited the scene instantly.

The Wildcats scored consecutively, and the cooperation between Bayless and Donald made the Sun Devils players scratch their heads a bit.The score became 15 to 8.

Bob Hurley yelled at his own players from the sidelines to pay attention to defense and pay attention to creating scoring opportunities for Harden's screen.

Harden used Hunter to cover, and Europe made a layup.

This is a good trick, thank you Qian Duoduo for teaching me this trick.Harden quickly returned to defense after scoring.

Bayless pushed forward with the ball, cooperated with his teammates at the top of the arc, led the ball twice, and then used a screen to make a three-pointer. He made another hit, and even got a foul from Hodge, who jumped up to defend him, and there was also an additional penalty.

"Bayless feels too hot today! The Sun Devils have nothing to do with him!" Reggie Miller said with admiration.

Harden stood up and didn't intend to let Bayless do Chen Du alone. He advanced the ball to the 45-degree three-point line in the frontcourt, stepped back and shot a three-pointer, which also made a hit.

"Harden's shot is also beautiful! The sense of rhythm is very good! He did what a team leader should do, stand up and carry the team forward." Miller praised Bayless, Albert's side Find a balance and stand up for Harden.

And Harden just wanted to thank Qian Duoduo for teaching him how to step back and shoot, because it is really easy to use, and of course there is the Eurostep.

That is, starting from this game, he decided to incorporate these major moves into his most conventional arsenal.

Of course, no one can imagine that the bearded player on the field today will make these stunts famous all over the world in the future.

It was 19 to 11, and Hurley did not call a timeout. He planned to learn from a Zen master and let the players adjust themselves on the court.

Harden lived up to his expectations and blocked Bayless' advance to steal it.

Harden is really not without defense. If he is willing to contribute on the defensive end, with his size and strength, he can definitely become a very good defensive player.

Harden, who successfully steals the ball, quickly advances with the ball. Hunter's reaction is not slow, and he rushed out the moment Harden steals the ball. At this moment, he turned out to be running in the front.

The active kid has a pie to eat, Harden pushed the ball out, and fed Hunter a pie. This was Hunter's first score in the game.

The ball silenced the arena, and then the loudest noise erupted.The quiet ones are the Wildcats fans, and the ones that explode are the Sun Devils fans.

"I like the way this kid plays," Nash said, referring to Harden, of course.If the ball is replaced by another guard holding the ball, he may rush to score a layup by himself, because there is no defender in front of him, so he can hit it by himself.

At this moment, Cole began to think in his heart, whether Harden will participate in the draft next year, or whether he should find a way to trade for a draft pick...
