I'm king in the basket

Chapter 407 Two Tigers Fight
The person standing in the low position is not Li Xing, but DeRozan.

DeRozan's low post is very powerful, but he did not fully implement the team's tactics.

Snyder hasn't digested the fact that "DeRozan can play in the low post."

Therefore, DeRozan will always show off new skills in the low post only when the situation allows.

Every time he came over to play back, Harden would mutter in his heart: "This bastard is here again!"

Five times, he remembers it well, DeRozan backslapped him a total of five times in this series.

If you count this time, it will be six times.

In the previous five low-post offenses, DeRozan scored twice, and his shooting percentage was not bad. It must be noted that this is the first time he has used low-post offenses in the game.

It can be said that it is very good to be able to play such an efficiency.

This round, DeRozan showed his usual momentum, facing Harden's body, and kept glancing at Harden from the corner of his eyes.

He believes that this goal can be scored.

Harden's defensive problems are not small. His weight and strength are advantages, but he doesn't know how to use these advantages in the low post defense.

Harden's way of dealing with low post defenses is just a hard top, which is problematic.

It is easy for opponents to find loopholes, and they may all be caught.

If the referee is stricter, fouls are absolutely inevitable.

Perhaps his beard impressed the referee, and his series of suspected violations of defense were not whistled.

DeRozan twisted his body and flew into the air, a height that Harden could not reach.

He waved his hands and bid farewell to the basketball with his eyes.

DeRozan hit the ball.

He gave Harden a provocative look: "Are you defensive? It's really bad."

Harden froze for a second, Durant walked to his side, he said: "Give me the ball."

Durant was taken aback, and said, "You can fight whatever you want."

In the third quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately. First, there was a team battle, and the players on both sides played very united.

However, this performance did not last until the end.

When the shooting percentage drops and the game is about to be deadlocked, the role of the star is crucial.

The Thunder have three stars who can solve the problem. The confrontation between DeRozan and Harden was unexpected. When it happened, everyone felt novelty.

Then, Harden's counterattack came.

Harden wants to fight back, and if he can't, he won't force it. This is his strength and what makes him different from Westbrook.

If this is not the case, Brooks will not rest assured that the ball will be handed over to him.

DeRozan's defense is very good, he did not leave any gaps for Harden.

The uniqueness of Harden's career is that it is difficult for a team to have an outside combination like Westbrook and Durant at the same time. He knows exactly what role he should play in the team.

A swingman at the 3rd and 4th positions with outstanding athletic ability.A group of talented teenagers full of hope. For the fans and the management, there is probably nothing happier than this.

And Harden is one of the outliers. His physical talent is top-notch, but his dynamic talent is above average. He doesn't rely on talent to play. He is a left-hander, and his template is Ginobili.

Therefore, when he encounters difficulties, the choices he makes will naturally move closer to his plank.

Ginobili is full of creative thinking, Harden may not have his demonic aura, but his solid basic skills and mature personality give him more possibilities.

DeRozan defended in front and Li Xing blocked in the back. The two worked together to pin Harden to death on the outside.

It was at this time that Harden passed the ball to Westbrook.

Stephenson's defense was not in place, Westbrook pulled up a zombie shot and sent the ball to the basket.

"Good shot, James!"

Westbrook yelled.

James nodded slightly, while Durant looked like a boss, applauding Harden's approach.

This is the true strength of San Shao.

The Spurs fell in front of such a team. They have talent, they are united, and they have no selfish ghosts.

Sometimes, Westbrook's waywardness will ruin some games; Harden's downturn will also make the situation out of control; Durant is still immature, but he is the most stable one.

All three have flaws, and cleverly, their personalities complement each other.

Durant doesn't like to make a sound, like a piece of cold black iron; Westbrook likes it, he likes to talk, warms his teammates like a flame, shines on his teammates, and at the same time burns to the opponent, but sometimes it goes too far; Harden just Between the two, he has a poker face on the court, but he will fully communicate with his teammates, absolutely rational and calm, his words and deeds are mature and reasonable, and he is just a changer for both seats.

These three are a match made in heaven.

"Larch, I can feel it, it's now."

Just as Li Xing wanted to do something, DeRozan tugged at his jersey and said this.

When the temperament of his teammates changes, Li Xing will open his omniscient eyes to observe.

DeRozan's changes are subversive.

He's never been this cool, like a killer who's ready to finish off his opponent when the time comes.

Thinking of all the training he did before the game, Li Xing believed that tonight would be the night of his explosion, even though he didn't have any mode buffs.

"Pull away! Pull away!"

Li Xing shouted with the ball.

Everyone thought he was going to be singled out, and Aldridge was also ready to fight.

Just like a prisoner who is eager to kill, if he advances, he will retreat with a knife. He will die anyway, and he has nothing to fear.

"come!"

Aldridge plucked up his courage and yelled at Li Xing.

If he hadn't seen DeRozan's determination, Li Xing would have beaten this guy back to his original form in this round.

I don't know how powerful it is, what kind of wolf with a big tail?
The space on one side was completely cleared, no matter how unwilling the Thunder team was, they had to let Li Xing and Aldridge single out.

At this moment, DeRozan ran out from the other direction. He circled around and forcibly broke the confrontation between the two.

Some people think that this is a tactical error, but in fact, this is the end point that Li Xing carefully prepared for DeRozan.

DeRozan ran behind Li Xing and handed over the ball. The latter stopped Harden and blocked Harden who was chasing him.

Outside the three-point line, DeRozan took the ball, pulled it up and shot.

This is an operation that no one would have thought of.

DeRozan made a three-pointer?Is this his style?Obviously, this is not his style.

But he just voted.

Cast resolutely and decisively,

It is incumbent to vote,

Shoots like he's the guy making the most [-]-pointers this season,
The shooting makes people forget that he is the most unreliable outside three-pointer in the Raptors starting lineup.

The three-pointer flew high into the sky and fell straight into the net.

DeRozan clenched his fists and glared hard at Harden: "I won't lose to you!"

Harden, whose heart is still like water, finally changed at this moment.

No matter how young and stable he is, he is not made of mud, he is a man of flesh and blood.

Li Xing followed DeRozan and said, "You just need to keep an eye on his shots and leave the rest to me."

"you?"

DeRozan's suspicious look made Li Xing very hurt.

"What's wrong? Can't I? Is there a problem?"

Li Xing asked indifferently, but DeRozan felt embarrassed.

"Well, I believe in you, and I will be able to prevent him!"

In the end, I actually have to add an affirmative tone to strengthen my confidence. How much do you not believe me?

Anyway, I am also the best defensive player of the year for three consecutive years. Give me some confidence, OK?

DeRozan's lack of self-confidence is not unreasonable. Harden is the person who has suffered the least from Li Xingmao among the Thunder's three young masters.

His way of playing is relatively chicken thief, and the rhythm of the European step is also confusing.

Moreover, he is a firm believer of "I won't go in and score if Li Xing is at the basket".

Li Xing really wanted to hate him, but he couldn't find a chance.

Hopefully, DeRozan's push will get him to do a little bit of what a guy his age should be doing.

You can't have no blood at all, can you?Occasionally burn the CPU, look at your second brother, burning the CPU every day has not seen a drop in IQ.

The idea of ​​retaliation has appeared in Harden's heart many times, and he is still afraid of Li Xing's defense.

However, there are times when fear is not the answer.

He also rushed in to challenge Li Xing before, was overshadowed, and successfully challenged. As long as he got the rhythm right, he could escape.

He didn't want to treat Li Xing as a scourge, because if they didn't even have confidence in themselves, others would be even less confident.

Harden dribbles under his crotch, finding his rhythm.

Durant knew what he wanted, and came out to pick and roll before the offense started.

This is the second insurance. If Harden can't make a shot later, Durant behind him is the last harbor.

Harden only came towards Li Xing. The speed was not fast, but every step was strong.

When he stepped forward, Li Xing still underestimated him.

He thought that Harden's offense was nothing more than that, and he stood on tiptoe to block this weak European step layup.

However, that step didn't close the ball, it was just a deceptive one.

Harden realized that Li Xing had been duped, took the ball and took a jump, dodged Li Xing's body, came to the other corner, and was about to lay up with his right hand.

This change surprised Li Xing, but it was still a bit worse.

Harden has the rhythm of success, and the rhythm of defeat.

Because his physical fitness is not as strong as his second brother, he needs rhythm; because his physical fitness is not as strong as his second brother, when Li Xing blocked him, he just jumped lightly, rising quickly and falling quickly. quick.

When he landed, Harden's ball had just been released, and he didn't even have to jump anymore. He swung his hands back and blocked the ball before it hit the basket.

Harden's eyes widened, and before he had time to respond, DeRozan accepted the rebound.

If it weren't for Westbrook to pull DeRozan down nearby, the Raptors' counterattack would be completed again.

Harden's eyes trembled, and he glanced at Li Xing.

Coincidentally, Li Xing was also looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, Li Xing smiled mockingly.

This smile seems to be more powerful than this block.
