ace marshal

Chapter 831
At 06:30 p.m. local time in Houston, the game between the Rockets and Clippers begins with less than an hour left.

Here, Lan Shengli has just finished pre-match psychological counseling for Harden.

To be precise, it should be psychological counseling after being frozen in the last game.

As a former teacher at Berkeley, Lan Shengli is very aware of the role of quick psychological counseling after a person is hit.

Under the guidance of Lan Shengli, Harden seems to have recovered a lot. Although he doesn't know what his competitive state is, at least his whole spirit is stronger than before.

This is important.

After the meal, the team members have returned to the venue, ready to start the final preparations.

The game will start soon.

Here the Rockets' two biggest names and the highest paid players in the team, Yao Ming and McGrady also appeared on the sidelines.

"I hope that the words I told you today will be carefully considered~!!!"

Yao Ming looked at Lan Shengli, who was chatting with the teaching assistants not far away, and sighed.

The starting lineups of the two sides will be announced soon. The starting lineup of the Rockets is exactly the same as the previous speculation of the Clippers. Aaron Brooks and Kevin Martin are partnered in the backcourt. The two may be the entire NBA backcourt combination. The weakest pair, and none of them.

The strikers are Sean Battier and Luis Scola. These two people belong to the nature of absolute team players and jack-of-all-trades. The center is Chuck Hayes who is only 198 cm tall.

A stocky insider who can't shoot and even makes free throws awkward.

The Clippers are still Hill, Harden, Thornton, Gooden and Jordan.

Although Johnson played very well in the last game, scoring 18 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, all of which were career highs, Lan Shengli still put him on the bench , Maybe this will allow Johnson to continue to play efficiently~.

"After the game starts in a while, put more attention on Battier, look at his defensive positioning and defensive prediction, as well as some defensive habits and skills, learn as much as possible~!!"

Lan Shengli reminded Johnson here.

Johnson heard this and nodded, but did not speak.

"Everyone still have to remember what I told you before, you must forget the scoreboard, it will always be 0:0~!! I believe everyone can win back-to-back victories, let us leave Texas with two consecutive victories~!! "

Before the game started, Lan Shengli continued to encourage the players in the locker room.

Soon, the game will begin.

"Houston is really a magical place. Although it is known as the fourth largest city in the United States, the attendance rate of the Toyota Center will never increase. Maybe as an aerospace city, there are some people who are engaged in scientific research, and they prefer things like It’s a sport like snooker~!”

Lan Shengli looked at the scattered fans in the arena and the auditorium, and sighed.

"The opponent's inside line is less than two meters tall, create more opportunities for DeAndre~!!"

Here Lan Shengli is still telling Harden who is tidying up his jersey.

As for the Rockets, "Old A" Adelman gathered the starting players together and drew the tactical board.

The old coach has strict discipline and technical and tactical requirements for players and games.

Here, the new Rockets aid who also did not play due to injury, Ariza, who won the championship with the Lakers last season, also looked on from the sidelines in a suit.

"If the "Yao Mai" combination, plus Ali and other players come back, the Rockets are indeed a very competitive team~"

Here, Lan Shengli watched from a distance, sighing secretly.

"Combined with the old-fashioned Spurs, Texas is really a scary place~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and continued to sigh.

The game will start soon.

Jordan and Hayes jumped the ball, and Jordan basically dialed the ball to his own half without jumping much.

Here the Rockets did not use Battier to defend Harden from outside, but Martin faced Harden.

"Martin's strength confrontation and defensive ability, wanting to limit Harden, some think too much~!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli couldn't help sighing.

I saw that after Hill dribbled the ball to half court, he immediately gave it to Harden.

Harden dribbles sideways with his left hand, seemingly ready to break through at any moment.

Seeing this, Martin immediately turned his body sideways as well, refusing to give his left hand side.

Anyone who knows Harden's style of play knows that his right-handed dribble breakthrough threat is far from that of his left-handed~! !
This is true for every left-handed person.

While speaking, Harden stood against Martin's defense and forcibly broke through with his left hand.

Although I played resolutely, it felt a little strenuous and unreasonable.

Martin held on with some reluctance, as if he was about to fall.

As a rookie, Harden has no advantage in strength confrontation, but Martin has no advantage.

Sure enough, not far from the paint area, Martin was hit by Harden's impact and lost his center of gravity, falling backwards and falling to the ground.

Seeing this, Harden immediately took out his foul-making ability and threw it towards the basket at will.

This action was originally very good at Martin, but now Harden is repaying him with his own way~

"Beep~!!!"

Harden staggered to the ground with Martin, and the referee immediately called a shot blocking foul.

Harden contributed as soon as he came up, which is completely different from the last game.

"What's the foul~?!"

Martin sat on the ground, spread his hands, looked at the referee helplessly, and asked.

The referee shook his head and ignored it.

Perhaps this time Martin can finally experience the helplessness of being "fouled"~
It seems that Martin's trick has already been passed down in the world.

"Although he played in a hurry, Harden can see that Harden is still very confident in his physical condition, which is very important~!"

Lan Shengli looked at Harden who was standing at the free throw line, preparing to make a free throw, and thought.

"If Martin keeps defending, then just keep playing~!!"

Here Lan Shengli immediately told the information to Hill who returned to the backcourt.

Hill listened, nodded, and immediately ran to the front court.

Whispered to Harden.

Harden nodded immediately when he heard it.

Lan Shengli's tactical update is thus completed.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Then Harden made two free throws to give the Clippers the lead.

Although the defensive strength and defenders are very different from last night's game, Harden's ability to initiate an attack as soon as he comes up is indeed very different.

At least from the point of view of the overall competitive state, it seems more exciting than last night, which is very important.

"Defense~!! Watch out for rebounds~!!"

Lan Shengli reminded.

"Tonight's game, it's my turn to win for the team~!"
