1073: New School Scorers and Old School Scorers
Looking at the entire league, Harden's skills in hitting the porcelain are definitely perfect.
After all, it hasn't been a day or two for him to focus on striking money.
Although Harden has excellent offensive skills in other aspects this season, he is still very passionate about hitting the car.
Link was really refreshed by the "roujiamo style" just now, and now he has developed a two-person cooperation. It's amazing, amazing.
Harden's acting skills also made Link admire him. He obviously came up with him on his own initiative, but his acting seemed to be greatly violated.
But Link knew that this was just the beginning.
After this, Harden will definitely show his fancy touching skills.
So, Link also entered the attack mode. To curb Harden, the best way is not to make him score fewer points, but to score more than him!
This time, Link held the ball at the middle distance on the right. Facing Ariza, Link suddenly turned to the right, with a very large arc, as if he wanted to turn his back and break through.
But in fact, Link's axle foot did not move. As Ariza moved horizontally, Link quickly turned back!
Half turn and fake move!
With a simple step, Link shook Ariza away.
After turning his body back, Link easily jumped mid-range and the basketball entered the net!
Compared to Harden, Link seems to be more of a classic scorer.
He does not pursue the so-called "magic ball theory" with the highest efficiency scoring method, nor does he use a method of hitting the ball to the free throw line.
Link is using his superb offensive skills to seek opportunities!
Link believes that basketball is not a math problem. It is very one-sided to interpret basketball with the thinking of data analysis.
He wants to use his own way to curb the scorers represented by Harden and pursue efficiency-oriented scorers!
"Beautiful footsteps, the scene just now reminded me of Michael." Hubby Brown applauded. This classic but wonderful mid-range scoring technique is almost extinct now.
In Link, you can always see the shadows of older scorers such as Jordan, Kobe, Grant Hill.
He is more like a combination of those people, using the real basketball method to interpret what efficiency is!
When you can use your superb skills to throw the ball into the middle distance, there is no inefficiency.
Everyone was focused, and the game was becoming more and more interesting.
Because this is not just a milestone night when the Grizzlies broke the record-breaking winning streak, it is not just a showdown between the top two in the MVP rankings.
It is also a collision of two different basketball concepts!
Link's goal was pleasing to the eye, because Harden did not attack with his back at all, so he could not have made the series of exciting moves just now.
But Harden is not envious. He has his own way to solve the problem!
When Harden attacked again, his first goal was to support Link first!
Nowadays, this alliance no longer focuses on strong dialogue.
Both the Warriors and the Rockets highly recommend the offensive method of forcing the switch to play misplaced after a defense.
To put it bluntly, it is to use your strongest point to seize the opponent's weaknesses on the defensive end and beat him up.
If you thought Harden would confront Link like this all night, you would be very wrong.
Once upon a time, when Kobe faced Artest during the Rockets, he would never want to misplace the position and hit others, but instead thought about how to defeat the madman in front of him.
A little longer, Michael Jordan can only solve the problem with his own strength when facing those rough opponents.
Even when Link and James were in a duel a few years ago, they both fought head-on to see who could knock who down first.
But now it’s different. If a star meets a player with a strong defense, the first idea that comes to his mind must be forcing him to change defense!
As long as you can switch to a player with a slightly weak defense, the chance of scoring will be greatly improved.
In the face of increasingly advanced and rich data, the players' offenses are all serving efficiency, and they are less of the bloodiness they used to be.
The same is true for Harden. When he faced Link, Ariza immediately came up in advance to set up a cover for Harden.
The purpose of this cover is not to facilitate Harden's breakthrough, but to force the Grizzlies to change defense!
In this way, Wade came to Harden again!
"Fuck!" Link couldn't help but curse in his heart. When the basketball was led by data analysis, this was the result!
Why do many people complain that the NBA is not as good-looking as before and is not as intense as before? This is the reason.
Link had to be pushed away by Ariza, while Harden got the opportunity to play with Wade.
This time, Harden used his superb dribbling rhythm to get rid of Wade from the outside and drove straight in!
Although Wade actively pursued, his current pace is completely incomparable to his youth. Harden is half ahead of Wade in many positions, and he successfully broke through!
Before Gasol made up for defense, Harden threw a soft and light touch to complete the score!
The score difference returned to 6 points again, and James Harden had no intention of stopping at all.
"I went in again, obviously, Harden was deliberately avoiding Link. But there was no doubt that it also made his offense more efficient and simpler."
Hubby Brown doesn't think there is any problem avoiding Link, and avoiding the opponent's best defense. Isn't this what it should be?
Harden's style of play is not right or wrong, it just depends on his choice!
If the Rockets win in the end, people will not deny Harden's performance because he did not fight Link alone.
As for the same sentence, as long as the rules allow, you cannot interfere with the process, mainly because you must be able to win!
The score difference continued to narrow, and the Rockets bit the score tightly.
I have to say that Harden can reach this point today is not just a matter of hitting the ball. Because even when facing Wade, it is very difficult to score calmly.
But in front of Harden, this is not a problem at all.
At this time, the rhythm of this game seemed to have become the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers a few days ago.
Now the competition is that if both sides don’t score first, as long as one of them suddenly loses its fire, the game will not be able to bite!
Link naturally won't surrender. After Harden used a throw to keep the score wide, Link immediately used a beautiful back turn and jump shot to fight back on the offensive end.
But soon, Harden made another foul from Gasol outside the three-point line and continued to go to the free throw line.
This time, Harden simply found a misplaced position and fought Gasol alone.
Misplacement to small or big or small is also the offensive habit of this alliance today. This way of finding misplacement has become a trend.
Gasol is indeed the best defensive player ever, and his defensive ability is unquestionable.
But if a No. 5 position is dislocated to defend the defender, even the best defensive player in the past will be very passive.
After Harden used several rhythm changes to shake Gasol's center of gravity, he suddenly took the initiative to hold Gasol's arm and was about to shoot.
Harden's "kirin arm" is very powerful, Gasol can't even pull it out...
In the end, Espanyol had no choice but to take a foul. In terms of using the rules, Harden is definitely the number one in the league.
This time, Harden directly got three free throws. Harden made a steadily shot with three free throws.
The score difference has become 5 points, and the Rockets are getting closer and closer to the equalization score.
In the second quarter, when Harden turned on the scoring mode, the advantages gained by the Grizzlies instantly disappeared.
At this time, Link and Harden were really like two boxers. They punched each other and made moves to each other, and it was up to who could not stand it first.
Seeing Harden finally got into the state, Draymond Green was overjoyed. He took out his phone and posted a message on social media.
"Congratulations in advance to the Grizzlies' winning streak for the end of the opening game. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies have reached their limit."
Green was full of confidence in Harden. Once that guy opened it, even Link would be helpless.
Link won 41 points in the offense and won the Louis Williams, who scored 41 points in the single game, which is very amazing. But Harden and Lou Williams are not at the same level.
Chapter completed!
