Chapter 52 52. Bankrupt Harden

In terms of the sense of blocking shots, no one in the entire league can compare with Da Baibian!

With a "snap", the ball in Asik's hand was slapped out of bounds by Whiteside!
The most important thing is that when the ball was blocked, it hit Asik's face and popped out!

The ball belongs to the Lakers!
A slam dunk that covers your head and face is called a Yan dunk, so is this block that covers your face called Yan Gai?

Liu Ren jumped up excitedly when he saw this scene. Although he had watched Whiteside block shots against the sky on TV in his previous life, how could it be more enjoyable to watch it live?
Whiteside also had amazing blocks in the previous games, but they were all defenses. Back then, Howard, Garnett and others played the rest. This kind of face-to-face heads-up was bloody!
There were bursts of exclamations at the Toyota Center, as calm as the Houston fans seeing this block!

Harden was also dumbfounded: Are you kidding me?Can you still get it if you knock it open?
Harden is also not calm, he can't give this kind of ball anymore, why don't his teammates have a few reliable ones?Harden decided to let the outside line come in for the next attack.

The Lakers were attacking. After Marshall went to the frontcourt, Daniels pressed him in the halfcourt. It seemed that he didn't want to give him a chance to pick and roll. He had no choice but to let Liu Ren come out to catch the ball.

Liu Ren mentioned that after receiving the ball from the top arc, Harden and Casspi, who was defending him, came directly to double-team.

Many question marks popped up in Liu Ren's mind. Does the Rockets have a defensive system?
No, it doesn't seem to be the case, Henry was emptied there, and no one else made any moves to defend the past, that is to say, this double-team was Harden's active double-teaming!
I am a good boy, Liu Ren was frightened, the Rockets' Harden didn't have to use Sharingan to defend?He was so scared that he quickly passed the ball to Henry who was in the gap.

Henry didn't shoot a three-pointer, and dribbled the ball straight to the inside. As a young man with strong physical fitness, Henry was also a basket abuser when he was healthy in the previous two seasons.

Harden went to double-team Liu Ren, except for Asik who was squatting inside and couldn't come out. The latter had already been regarded by Henry as the background, and the road ahead was wide open... No, Harden actually returned to the defense in time. Appear on Henry's way!

As Liu Ren thought, hell, Harden has not seen such an active defense for more than a year!After transferring from the Thunder to the Rockets, Harden has practiced Sharingan and no longer uses his body to defend. What a ghost today. Asik wants to play singles, and Harden has defense!
But he had already charged up, and Henry couldn't stop, so he simply took the European step!
This movement, this posture, Harden is actively following Henry's footsteps to defend. Harden, who is already in good physical condition, really followed Henry. After seeing Henry's movement clearly, Harden screamed inwardly.

However, it was too late. Harden actively used his arms to interfere with Henry who was about to get up in the third step. It was too late to stop. Henry took the initiative to stick to Harden's body, holding the ball with both hands and hitting it from under Harden's arm. ...

"beep"

The referee whistles, the thugs foul!
I often walk on the side of the road, how can I not get my shoes wet?
A good swimmer drowns in water.

These two sentences are what Harden is experiencing now. Henry scored on him in the way he is best at!
Liu Ren was almost bursting with laughter at this scene. He remembered that Henry the Great had a nickname when he was in the Lakers, and he called Harden the Bankrupt Glass Version.Everyone knows the bankruptcy version. The glass version is about Henry's knees, which are always injured. The knees of players who use Eurostep are prone to injuries, such as Wade and Ginobili, who suffer from injuries all year round.

Liu Ren remembered that Harden also gave up the European step in the third year of the Rockets. It seemed that he was injured this season, but there was no major problem. Thinking of this, he thought when should he remind Henry, as a teammate, he didn't want to see Any teammate is injured.

The emperor made one of two free throws, why is it a bankrupt version? It can be seen from this, the ability to collect money after Peng-ci needs to be improved!
Not going to continue to let Asik participate in the offense, the Rockets completely gave up the inside line. From Daniels to Garcia, four players with baskets floated outside.

This feeling will always be cold. After the Rockets' feeling slowly declines, they start to hit the iron again and again.

Asik is not Whiteside's opponent at all for rebounding inside. Whiteside can take the ball directly from Asik's head, which is so uncomfortable and helpless.

The Rockets can't solve the problem of rebounding. Even if the Rockets put on a combination like Howard and Asik, they can't match the combination of Gasol and Whiteside that the Lakers put on.

Howard feels like he met the Lakers Twin Towers in the 08-09 season. Gasol is a little older, but Whiteside is obviously better than Bynum at that time, and there is Liu Ren who is much more motivated than Odom , Howard once again felt the feeling of isolation and helplessness in that finals.

The most important thing is that although the Rockets have Harden, the overall strength of the Rockets' outside line is much worse than the Magic's outside line that year!

Howard doesn't like to meet that kind of defensive player who is solid in defense, tall and heavy, and doesn't jump around. Every time he meets him, he will be deflated, even in his peak period.

For example, Yao Ming, who was eating, sleeping, and playing World of Warcraft, was the woman Zhao Riyue sitting on the sidelines. Howard didn't think it was more difficult to beat O'Neal than Howard. This is also the reason why O'Neal has never been selected to the first team of the All-Defensive Team, and even the second team has only scored three times. You must know that the inside and outside combination he formed with Kobe back then was the most efficient defensive combination in the league.

There are also Perkins, his teammate Asik, Jazz's Okur back then... etc. who are heavy and defend honestly are Howard's nemesis.

Unfortunately, although Whiteside doesn't seem to have much passion, he is suitable for defending Howard. He doesn't suffer from tonnage, strength, and bounce. Height and wingspan make up for it.

When the Lakers rotate, as long as Howard is on the court, one of Gasol or Whiteside will always be put on the court to defend Howard, and Gasol can also make Howard very uncomfortable.

Liu Ren had no choice today, he was double-teamed infinitely, and he was taken advantage of by guys like Nick Young and Henry.

However, Liu Ren was annoyed by Harden's double-teaming. In turn, he tried his best to block Harden. Seeing that Harden was as depressed as himself, Liu Ren felt much more at ease.

Harden was also baffled by Liu Ren. He tried to make a foul several times, and he succeeded once. He hit several irons. This is a very careful result.

There is no way Harden can only choose to pass the ball.

Except for Whiteside, basically everyone on the Lakers has some passing ability. In the third quarter, the Rockets seemed to want to make a surprise attack, letting Harden and Ali bring the little black beans Brooks, Garcia Chasing points on the court and chasing points with a Lithuanian big man Motiejunas who has the ability to shoot from the outside.
