Chapter 113 An Xiaonan vs. Biao Harden

In the second half of the second quarter, An Xiaonan started his scoring performance.

Originally, An Xiaonan was very much looking forward to a hearty decisive battle with Paul, but Paul did not let An Xiaonan get his wish.After all, after Paul came to the Rockets, his style of play changed.The number of times Paul participated in the offense was far less than when he was in the Clippers last season. When Harden was on the court, he handed over the ball to Harden more.

And only when the team needs him to kill the game, Paul will return to the original omnipotent Sao Paulo.

Therefore, An Xiaonan's main opponent in this game became James Harden.

At this time, there are still 4 minutes in the second quarter, Paul was replaced for a rest, and Harden served as the point guard.

The most terrifying thing about the Rockets compared to the Warriors is that they will have the world's top field masters handling the ball on the court at any second during the 48 minutes of the game.

An Xiaonan and Harden faced each other, and An Xiaonan defended Harden for the first time in this game.

The execution effect of the Rockets' tactics was not ideal, and Harden directly singled out An Xiaonan.

Shift, crotch, cross step!

Harden's dribbling moves were dazzling, An Xiaonan couldn't help taking small steps back, but at this time Harden suddenly closed the ball, and then used a step-back step that looked like a walk, and bounced the ball back with a three-centimeter bounce. cast.

This is Harden's trick, a stealth step back jumper!

What is a stealth step, that is, when the league rules allow it, take an extra step within the normal walking range without violating the rules. This is a stealth step.

An Xiaonan has thoroughly understood the power of Harden's step back, Harden's control over the rhythm is really too strong!Just by relying on this step-back jumper, you can become the biggest favorite in MVP.

An Xiaonan had no chance to jump up, and Harden hit a three-pointer.

Good guy!
Harden really lived up to his reputation!

Harden's scoring ability completely inspired An Xiaonan's competitive spirit, and he took the initiative to attack after coming to the frontcourt.

Singled out Harden!

"Oh? The kid is very confident!" Harden said in surprise.

An Xiaonan just smiled and didn't say a word.Suddenly, he rushed to Harden's side with a cross-step dribble.

Last season's Harden was defensive with his eyes, but this season's Harden is completely different.Harden this season is already at the top level of the league's low-post defensive efficiency.

But Harden's outside single defense ability is still relatively average.

After a few dribbles, with An Xiaonan's breakthrough strength, he successfully broke into the inside lane and scored a layup.

But the score is still 13 points behind.

Harden is attacking again!

An Xiaonan put up all his energy to face Harden's retreat. Harden's prelude to dribbling was almost exactly the same as before.This gave An Xiaonan the illusion that Harden would still use a retreat.

Harden took advantage of this. After taking a step back and shaking An Xiaonan over, he passed An Xiaonan with a shifting speed breakthrough, and then attracted the supplementary defense to throw a lob for Capela.

powerful!
An Xiaonan clenched his fists.

This time An Xiaonan beat the big ones.

What?Small fight big?
This is almost non-existent in the Rockets.

But tonight Rockets veteran Nene is on the court.

How could An Xiaonan let go of the chance to single out with Nene?

Although the old Nene was easy to use, his defensive pace was much slower than at his peak. An Xiaonan easily gained the upper hand in the duel with him.

An Xiaonan made a direct mid-range throw.

This time, Harden revitalized the Rockets' offense by passing the ball.In the end, the Magic switched defenses a bit slower.When Anderson received the ball from the outside, An Xiaonan hurried to defend.Ever since, Anderson flicked the ball lightly, and Harden received a three-pointer at the top of the arc to get a completely open space.

Steady three-point shot, hit!
"It's too perverted..." An Xiaonan's heart fluctuated, and the team scored three consecutive offensive rounds...

"Scrape!" An Xiaonan still supported Harden's indiscriminate bombardment, at least he did not lose the wind on the offensive end, and hit a three-pointer.

Afterwards, the two sides hit each other once, and it was An Xiaonan and Harden who shot.

"Haha, the kid played well!" Harden laughed, and it seemed that it would be very interesting to single out An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan couldn't even laugh, he still underestimated Harden's fighting power too much.

There is a saying that is really good, leaving Kardashian, Harden is like Jordan.

Break through, foul, two plus one!

An Xiaonan's defensive foul!

An Xiaonan was immediately stunned, and stepped forward to ask the referee to argue.

After five offensive rounds, An Xiaonan's confidence was shaken by Harden's beating!
This is James Harden!

"Swipe!" Harden made a free throw, and then An Xiaonan didn't confront Harden again.

Because An Xiaonan knew that after Harden scored two plus one head-on, he lost the chance of winning.

Harden scored 15 points and 4 assists in the second quarter in a single quarter, which is extremely abnormal.

Without An Xiaonan's fire support, the Magic's offense was greatly reduced.An Xiaonan had no choice but to increase the number of shots he took, but what he got in return was a sharp drop in his hit rate.

The half game ended under Harden's rule.

72:52, twenty points gap!

"Dude, can't you hold on?"

Now is the start of the third quarter. In order to maintain this last hope of survival, An Xiaonan continued to stay on the court.

This time, it was Chris Paul standing in front of him again.

An Xiaonan's face was sinking at this moment, he had never felt so uncomfortable.

After Harden abused him, Paul came next?
In order to give himself a little confidence, An Xiaonan even told himself that Paul's offensive methods are not as false as Harden's.

In fact it is...

Paul kept crossing steps and changing directions, passing An Xiaonan skillfully.

An Xiaonan had always thought that Irving was the best dribbler among active players, but he didn't expect Paul to be No.1 in terms of grasping the rhythm of dribbling.

Paul passed An Xiaonan, the Magic's defense instantly shrank, and Paul threw the ball to Anderson.

Anderson took a big step outside the three-point line and shot directly, hit!
This is the Rockets' No. 12 three-pointer tonight!

An Xiaonan singled out Paul, and wanted to use his height advantage to overwhelm Paul...the result...

"Crack!" Paul directly missed An Xiaonan's shot!

An Xiaonan's pupils suddenly contracted, this is Paul's sense of defense!

He almost forgot that Paul is a perennial defensive player in the league!
Paul dribbled the ball one-stop to the frontcourt, and An Xiaonan came to Paul again with perseverance.

Paul smiled, adjusted his rhythm unhurriedly, and then shot directly from beyond the three-point line!

An Xiaonan was distracted for a moment, making his block miss.

The ball crossed an arc high in the air and entered the net hollow!

The audience was silent...
