Chapter 299

"Oh!"

The rim began to "squeak" and howl. Harden's dunk just now was too strong. It can be seen that Harden vented all his anger on the rim.

66:60
"Come on! Aren't you going to teach me how to play basketball? Come and show me how strong you are! But, I'll keep your head!" Harden said to Martin, gnashing his teeth as he walked halfway through the court.

"Shit! Don't you just steal the ball once, boy, wait for me, and you still want to collect my head, you are crazy." Martin countered.

"Hehe, then give it a try, I've decided to keep your head! It will be my display, and you! It will also be my background board!"

"Then try it!" Martin was obviously also extremely angry. Harden, who has only played in the NBA for three years, dared to provoke him like this. As a veteran, he was naturally very upset.

The Thunder attacked, and Martin still stood up and asked for the ball as before. Although Martin made a mistake just now, as an important player in the team, Westbrook obviously still has to worry about his feelings.

So when Martin asked for the ball, Westbrook passed it to him. This time Martin didn't talk nonsense with Harden after receiving the ball. When he found the right opportunity, he made a three-pointer. Obviously shooting is more important than breaking through Martin. Be stronger.

But it's a pity that although Martin's shooting speed is fast, Harden's interference is also fast. Compared with previous defenses, Harden is doing his best to defend Martin today.

"Duang" hit the basketball, Hassan put the basketball in his arms steadily, and passed the ball when he saw Harden was about to go down.

After receiving the pass, Harden was unlucky and bypassed Martin's defense. Because the ball was passed a little far, Martin also stretched out his hand with the mood of taking a gamble to break Harden.

It's a pity that Harden, as a master of ball control, could be taken out so easily, and because of Martin's takeout, he also lost his defensive position in the first period of time. After Harden's bad luck, he didn't have the first time to see Martin. After following up, he moved the ball to his left with his right hand, and went directly to the basket from the left.

At this time, Durant was the only one under the basket. Although Durant has a great body, height and wingspan, his strength is his disadvantage. Harden, who is deeply aware of this, did not miss this opportunity.

The European step was used, and after reaching the basket, he faced Durant and directly carried his body and hit a hook.

66:62
Durant couldn't sit still anymore. He still had a double-digit lead just now, but now he only leads by two rounds!It is necessary to score. If Martin is allowed to go down again, the game will be suspended.

Coming to the frontcourt, facing Ariza, Durant began to ask for the ball. After receiving the ball, Durant carried Ariza with his body and went towards the inside. When it was almost within his shooting range, Durant directly pulled out the shot Put the ball into the basket.

68:62
Rockets attack, Xia Tian still handed over the basketball to Harden, and now Harden is in a state of full firepower, for this time Harden Xia Tian can do is to support, as for any assists, he is completely unnecessary.

After all, this is Harden, a guy who is more threatening with the ball than without the ball, and a player with all kinds of offensive abilities with the ball full of skill points.

In singles against Martin, Harden did not choose to make a sudden move. First, he dribbled the ball under the crotch that he was familiar with. When Harden found the rhythm, he changed direction without saying a word, and faced Martin directly to the penalty area.

Before Ibaka's defense came, Harden also chose to make an emergency stop, and then used a step back to throw the ball.

"Swish"

Hollow into the net, the mid-range shot is really not a difficult thing for Harden, at least Harden thinks so, just like Paul said, the mid-range shot is actually as simple as a layup. Harden is also very applicable here.

However, if the league chooses two guys with the best mid-range shots, they must be Paul and Durant, because Harden's mid-range shots basically have a retreat, but these two are different. Defensive players shoot!And it can also make defensive players helpless.

68:64
"Head!" Harden said softly as he passed by Martin.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Why did you enter again! But it doesn't matter, I will block you in the next round!"

The Thunder had the ball, and Durant fully played the role of the savior. On the offensive end, Durant singled Ariza again, and then scored two points on Ariza's head,

70:64
The Rockets attacked, Harden still chose to face Martin in singles, but compared to the previous few singles, Harden's singles this time are a bit different from the past, with a three-point shot with a step back under the crotch.

Isn't this the skill set of Harden in the future? Although Harden often stepped back for three-pointers this season, he couldn't feel the feeling of stepping back in later generations.

"Swish"

Still in!Durant looked at Martin in surprise. As an old player who has played in the NBA for so many years, Durant really didn't believe that Martin would be unable to guard Harden, so he had no choice but to call a timeout.

Durant has already scored 23 points in this game, so Durant is still very serious about the outcome of this game. First of all, his seniority was swept by the Rockets four times, so if he wins this time The significance is also huge.

Then there is Durant's scoring. Now he has scored 23 points in the middle of the third quarter. If Durant performs well in the fourth quarter, he feels that it is no problem to get a high score.

But if you get a high score and lose the game, it will be really uncomfortable. Maybe Durant can take the lead in setting up a group chat called the empty cut group before the thick eyebrows are born.

Durant dragged a group of tired bodies to attack, and Durant felt uncomfortable again under Ariza's defense. Although his body is very good, Ariza's is not bad.

Especially the defense, if it wasn't for Ariza's desperate defense in the script of the Western Conference finals, maybe the Rockets would have lost the game, and Durant can be said to be a very good defense for Duran because of his arm length. the ones.

"Duang" Durant shot the ball and started to hit the iron. Hassan directly pushed away Ibaka who wanted to join in the fun, then jumped up and received the ball and passed it to Xia Tian, ​​ready to let him organize.

But at this time, there is no need to organize at all. It was passed directly to Harden, and the ball was picked up during the march. He went up, but because his arm was resting on Harden's arm again, Harden fouled Martin again.

"Didi" Harden stood at the free throw line, and Martin began to be replaced. The Thunder's coach couldn't stand it anymore, and then he thought about it and sent Reggie Jackson.

This is the rookie selected by the Thunder this year. He has always been trained as Westbrook's substitute, but because of his active defensive attitude, the Thunder also took him on the court, hoping to limit Harden's offense.

Although the Thunder's idea is very good, can this angry Harden be guarded by a rookie?This is obviously unrealistic, but with Martin's end, Harden's desire to attack has become smaller.

Three minutes before the game, Xia Tian and Harden finally came off the field. After playing for a full 3 minutes, Harden and Xia Tian also lived up to expectations and chased the score to only 9 points left.

If it wasn't for Durant's sudden explosion during this period, maybe Xia Tian and Harden would have overtaken the score, and Harden surprised everyone again in 9 minutes.

From Harden's on-field to off-court, Harden directly scored 9 points by relying on 15 shots. Although 8 of them were scored by fouls, the remaining 7 points were all shot by virtue of strength.

After Xia Tian and Harden left the court, Adelman used the Yao Mai combination. Although Yao Mai and McGrady often played together, but because of the existence of Xia Tian and Harden, the cooperation between these two people was obviously less.

With the appearance of Yao Mai at the same time, the Chinese fans at the scene were obviously excited, calling out the word "Yao Mai" all over the place. It is indeed the Yao Mai combination, which will always occupy a big place in the hearts of Chinese people.

After the Rockets changed, the Thunder also changed the lineup. Martin, who was replaced before, came back to lead the team, and the Thunder's second youngster and Ibaka began to rest.

It seems that they are preparing for the fourth quarter. At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that although the Thunder opened the score in the first three quarters, they were all filled by the Rockets in the end. There is a four-point lead, but Durant and Westbrook's physical strength is not enough. If they continue to be on the court, they may be able to maintain their lead, but they will definitely not be able to counterattack the rested Xia Tian and Harden in the fourth quarter.

So taking them off the court now is to let the three of them take a good rest, so that they can play in the fourth quarter and win the game in a wave. By then, the fourth quarter can be said to be a war between Harden and Durant Westbrook in the summer. .

Whichever side plays better will win the game
