Start without the ball

Chapter 59 Trap
Li Haoyu was a little bit clean by Harden. When he was annoyed, George came over and patted Li Haoyu on the shoulder:

"It's okay, he can't guard against you."

After Li Haoyu nodded, he ran to the frontcourt and landed in the left corner.

George held the ball at the top of the arc, faced Green, and changed the ball to his right hand, making a gesture to break through. Green adjusted his center of gravity and followed.

George dribbled the ball behind his back to his left with his right hand while withdrawing from the three-point line and throwing the ball.

Green saw that George's shot was deformed, and he was secretly happy, thinking that George was going to hit the iron, turned his head to look at the basket, and yelled that it was not good.

Li Haoyu leaped high, caught George's 'shoot' with both hands in the air, and smashed into the basket hard.

"boom!"

Li Haoyu responded to Harden with an alley-oop dunk.

26:24.

Harden's defensive concentration has never been high, and he often relaxes his defense against people without the ball and looks at the ball holder.

In the middle of Li Haoyu's arms, at the moment Harden was distracted and looked at George, a set of profound meanings and air cut arrangements were made.

TNT commentary seats.

Barkley: "Harden's old problem of distraction still can't get rid of it."

O'Neill: "But I heard that he rarely goes to nightclubs this season."

Barkley: "No wonder the new season scored more fiercely."

O'Neill: "I seldom go there now, why am I moving the ball?"

Barkley: "Harden doesn't want to go, you are too old to play."

O'Neal:
Rocket attack.

Gordon dribbled the ball and handed it to Harden at 45 degrees on the left after halftime.

Just when Li Haoyu thought he was going to give it for free again, Harden hoisted the ball to Anthony inside.

Anthony was reluctant to play as a substitute when he was in the Thunder. After being cut by the Eagles, he turned around and joined the Rockets, and at the same time he played as a substitute willingly.

Now that Anthony has made a sacrifice, the ball must be guaranteed in the rotation, and Harden can also save his energy.

Anthony faced Patterson with his back, took two steps with the dribble, and Patterson backed up again and again.

After squeezing the shooting space, Guazi turned around and shot.

"Bang~"

It's iron, Anthony's athletic ability has declined since he gained weight, and his shooting percentage has also dropped a lot.

George scored the rebound and the Thunder attacked.

After Schroder signaled his tactics at the top of the arc, he handed the ball to George on the left.

Li Haoyu was at 45 degrees to the right, Noelle came to cover, and Li Haoyu ran to the left corner.

Harden was blocked, one step behind, still trying to catch up.

Coming to the bottom corner on the left, Patterson observed Harden's route and stood still.

Anthony, who was defending Patterson, immediately went to make up for Li Haoyu, and Harden also bypassed Patterson to chase Li Haoyu.

The two went to chase Li Haoyu, but Patterson was free.

George passed the ball, and when Patterson received the ball, Hartenstein had shrunk to the basket.

Patterson made a mid-range shot.

"boom"

Hitting the iron, Hartenstein got the rebound.

Li Haoyu was a little puzzled, why Harden still chose to chase himself instead of switching to Patterson after seeing Anthony coming to defend.

Harden ran to the frontcourt with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

The Rockets attacked and Harden got the basketball at 45 degrees to the left.

After receiving the ball, he immediately accelerated his posture to break through. Li Haoyu could only adjust his center of gravity and slide to block it.

Seeing Li Haoyu going to block, Harden made an emergency stop and retreated smoothly to the outside of the three-point line, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a shot.

"Shu~"

The basketball made a precise hit, 29 to 24.

Harden's offensive firepower this season is very strong, and even Li Haoyu, a young player, can't escape the fate of being hanged.

Facing Harden who was fully fired, Li Haoyu could only lament that his defense was too bad, but he was not discouraged.

Pay him back a three-pointer!
Li Haoyu winked at Schroeder and came to the right corner of the frontcourt.

Patterson came to cover, Li Haoyu ran to the left 45 degrees, Harden was one step behind and struggled to catch up.

One step within 45 degrees, Noelle blocked Harden.

Hartenstein immediately switched defenses to chase Li Haoyu, and Harden continued to chase after bypassing the screen.

The two pursued Li Haoyu again, and Noelle, who was covering, was free in one step within 45 degrees.

Schroeder passed the ball.

When Noelle received the ball, Anthony shrank to the basket and had no chance to break through.

Noelle was very embarrassed at this time. Although Patterson was tough last round, he was still able to throw the ball.

And Noelle couldn't make a mid-range shot at all, and he was in an open position at this time, so he had no choice but to use a stiff shooting posture, similar to that of Brother Qiu, and threw the ball out.

Fortunately, there is no iron.

How can it be iron if you can't even touch the frame?
Anthony at the basket picked up the air ball thrown by Noelle.

TNT commentary seats.

O'Neill: "It's two rounds. As long as Li Haoyu has a chance, the two of them will go to flank and attack the big man who leaves the cover. The Rockets are here prepared."

Barkley: "The Rockets have something today."

On the sidelines, Rockets coach D'Antoni smiled proudly.

This is an upgraded version of the Rockets' coaching staff who borrowed from the Bucks' resolute defense switch.

Because the Rockets don't have a center-born guard like Brown, they can't copy the Bucks' resolute defense.

The rocket's defensive assistant is an old bastard. He proposed that after Li Haoyu ran out of the opportunity, the two of them went to chase, the big man who emptied the screen, and the big man on the other side quickly recovered to protect the basket.

The Thunder's open big man can only shoot from the mid-range.

Li Haoyu's efficiency is too high, the Rockets can't afford it, but if the shot is replaced by the Thunder's inside line, this is acceptable to D'Antoni.

Dig a trap, empty your inside line, and then the inside line has to shoot after receiving the ball.

Really yin!

In the rest of the first quarter, Li Haoyu didn't run out of open space, and Patterson and Noelle couldn't make a shot, so George had to take over the ball. It was raining overnight, and George was not sure about it today.

For the Rockets, Harden taught Li Haoyu in a fancy way, and the point difference was quickly opened.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides came to 36 to 26
The Rockets led by 10 points.

Tengxing commentary seat.

Ke Fan: "The Rockets' coaching staff has also arranged for Brother Yuzi?"

Yang Yi: "To be honest, the Thunder's two insiders exposed their low-post skills in the last game, and this time they exposed their poor shooting. There is no one else."

Ke Fan: "Basketball is a three-dimensional sport. If there are technical shortcomings, it will always become a breakthrough for the opponent."

Barrage.

"What crime did brother Yuzi do? Everyone is targeting him."

"Don't panic at all, and even want to increase the position. Lei Ting takes a break during the festival. After adjusting, Brother Yuzi is a good guy again."

"You upstairs are so confident that Donovan can make the right adjustments?"

"It's not Donovan that I believe in, but Brother Yuzi! After Li Haoyu joined Thunder, Donovan also became spiritual. He is close to Yuzhe, and understands 8."

"I don't think so, I feel that Brother Deng is too fierce today, I can't stop it."

"Brother Yuzi's defense is free, and Harden's scoring is like picking something out of a bag."

　Thank you & 呙 乄 卝 for your reward.

　　The update will be earlier tomorrow, sorry for today.
