Here, Asik's dunk under the basket was blocked by Walan abruptly!Asik is tall and powerful, but he is not black after all, and his explosive power is limited.
Jeremy Lin counterattacked with the ball and gave it to DeRozan who was about to come down. The latter was cut off by Douglas for a layup.
Bargnani and Jeremy Lin played a partial small cooperation, the mid-range shot - missed, Ying Xiong grabbed the offensive rebound and then divided Bargnani from the outside, the latter made a 3-pointer - hit!
The Rockets' offense is X**D, and there is no system in defense. The core of the team, Harden, is often lazy on the defensive end, which makes the team's defensive talent not high, and there is no system. The poor defense is also reasonable.
In the next few minutes, the two teams began to attack each other.The Rockets' offense is X**D, but it is indeed the current trend of the league. Once the touch comes, it is not easy to press down.
The Raptors' inside twin towers are very tall, both exceeding 210cm, but the problem is that they are not strong in rebounding, and they have problems defending against pick-and-rolls.This allowed the Rockets to catch up and keep chasing the opponent's inside line.
Here Jeremy Lin missed a 3-pointer, Harden received the rebound and pushed forward with the ball.Ying Xiong defended Harden while on the move.
Harden kept holding the ball, facing the defense of the hero, rushed to the basket, stepped up in Europe, did not shake off the opponent, and threw the ball to the basket...
"Beep beep—" The referee's whistle sounded again——
Ying Xiong yelled inwardly that something was wrong, and sure enough, the referee gave him another defensive foul.
Ying Xiong knew that he had not fouled, and his actions were very clear and clean.But the problem is that referees are not machines. The speed of NBA games is too fast. Sometimes they don't see it clearly. They often judge subjectively whether the defender has fouled through experience.
Ying Xiong didn't explain, stretched out his hand, and waited for the coach to replace him.He has already committed 2 fouls. At this time in the first quarter, he has accumulated 2 fouls. It is normal to be replaced.
Coach Casey asked Terrence Ross to replace Yingxiong.
Seeing Ying Xiong leave the field, the Rockets fans at the scene let out a sigh of relief.You must know that with the Rockets' defense, there is no way to restrict him and keep him out of the game. This is the best thing.
Ying Xiong went off, but the Rockets didn't take much advantage of the scene.Jeremy Lin and DeRozan kept attacking the Rockets inside, while Bargnani fired frequently on the outside.
Ying Xiong sat off the court, quietly watching his teammates fight against their opponents on the court, and was also thinking about how to avoid being fouled by the opponent when defending Harden.
Ying Xiong discovered that when defending Harden, he should not attack him easily, nor should he get too close to him.He has a cunning trick trick, and he leans on your hand as soon as he reaches out.Moreover, when he cheated for a foul, his movements were exaggerated. He obviously didn't violate him, but his realistic acting skills made people think that he was really fouled.
In addition, Harden is a very talented player on the offensive end. If you are too afraid of his foul-making ability and too lax with his defense, he will make you pay with unsolvable 3-pointers and European layups. cost.
The overall strength of the Rockets is still not strong. Except for Harden, there is not a single player with All-Star strength.The offensive space was wide open and the game was fun, but because of the heavy blood loss on the defensive end, the scene did not have the slightest advantage.
Ying Xiong didn't return to the field until 2 minutes left in the second quarter.Coach Casey also has his own considerations. The team has not been beaten by the opponent, so try to let the head star take more rest off the court as much as possible, which can also prevent him from accumulating fouls too quickly.
Before Yingxiong came on the field, Casey offered him to guard Parsons, but he politely refused.Casey didn't insist either, he understood his temper and knew that he would not be willing to be treated in this way by the other party under such circumstances.
Casey knows very well that since last season, he has basically not seen any outside player in the league who can stabilize the front and take the lead. LeBron James can't do it, Kevin Durant can't do it, James Harden can't do it. Naturally, it is even more impossible.
——Ying Xiong has never been a person who would easily give in. In his dictionary, there is nothing that he can't do at all.
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball over, he found the desire to fight in Ying Xiong's eyes, saw the man who refused to admit defeat, and gave the ball to the opponent in a timely manner.
Facing Parsons' defense, Ying Xiong made consecutive crossovers with a speed and range that were staggering.Parsons didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he could only give the opponent space and take one step at a time.
Ying Xiong directly pulled up, completely ignoring the 206cm opponent, as if he was doing shooting training with ease.
Parsons also just jumped up to block the shot symbolically. He also knew how much space he gave the opponent. If the opponent made a jump shot, he had nothing to do.
Ying Xiong's shot hit the net!
Here, Harden faces Ying Xiong who has already committed two fouls, and after a fake pick-and-roll with Patterson, he leans on Ying Xiong and walks slowly inside.Obviously, he tried to make Yingxiong's third foul.If it can be successful, the point in the opponent's team that poses the greatest threat to one's side will be spent on the bench in the first half.
For Harden, facing the opponent in this campaign, he also has ambitions in his heart.He hopes to gain the upper hand in the match with Yingxiong, so that his status and evaluation in the league will definitely rise significantly.
In today's NBA league, Kobe and Wade are getting old day by day. At the 2nd position, Harden believes that his biggest competitor is Ying Xiong, who is about his age.In the past season, Ying Xiong received too much praise, and because he could only play as the sixth man in the Thunder, he did not enjoy the treatment like Ying Xiong with unlimited shooting rights, which made Harden a little reconciled.He thinks that he is no worse than anyone else, just lacking an opportunity.Now in the Rockets, he has become a well-deserved number one star, enjoys unlimited shooting rights, and finally got a chance to compete with Yingxiong.
——Who is the future No. [-] shooting guard in the league?
The fans at the scene didn't think it was a big deal. When Harden played Yingxiong, they would always take the opportunity to boo, cheer and scream.Some fans will even shout "MVP" to cheer for Harden, and also to cheer him up.You must know that in the regular season MVP selection last season, Ying Xiong lost to LeBron James.
Harden repeated the same trick, clinging to Yingxiong's European step for a layup, and when he got up at the end, he could seek physical contact with the opponent, and then throw the ball when he lost his balance...
But unexpectedly at this time, Ying Xiong quickly received his arms behind his back the moment Harden shot...
——This unexpected move caused everyone present to open their mouths in surprise! ——Is this all right?
