388: If you really want to score

Harden, who performed well in the first three games, was in trouble in Memphis.

4-0, twice dunked by the opponent, and this start cannot be worse for the Rockets.

Of course, the Rockets are not finished yet, James Harden only played one goal. Rockets fans are still looking forward to Harden's continued explosion and his incredible performance.

But Iguodala, who had a dark face, refused to let this happen.

The Rockets' second offense was Iguodala's defensive pressure on Harden Link, which helped him put more energy and energy on the offensive end.

Parsons? He is certainly good, but now he is only in the second grade, and the threat is not that scary.

The Rockets' tactics this time were a little more complicated. After Harden received a pass from Jeremy Lin, someone immediately came out to pick-and-roll. The third-year forward Patrick Patterson, who made the wall for Harden, was the last lottery show in 2010. Patterson has not been popular yet, but it is not a big problem to play an ordinary rotation.

Patterson, who is 2.06 meters tall and plays the fourth position, has the biggest feature of his shooting range.

Not only can he shoot in the middle, he also has mastered three-pointers this season.

So, after giving Harden a pick-and-roll, Patterson bounced directly outside the three-point line. This type of external pick-and-roll is the most difficult to defend, and inside players are not from anyone.

Follow the defender, you need to be empty outside the three-point line. Follow the three-point line, the defender who holds the ball can break through again.

But this dilemma did not appear in Randolph, because Iguodala got rid of the cover almost immediately! Randolph didn't have to worry about Harden at all, and Iguodala was taking care of him!

"Damn it!" Harden knew that he had encountered a tough fight today. Since Iguodala was in the East before, he could not have had a few times in a season. Therefore, Harden's understanding of Iguodala is not that intuitive.

Now, Harden has personally experienced what merciless defense means.

Harden forced a layup, but Iguodala's pressure on the bearded was not a good example. With clean movements, Iguodala forced Harden to make a layup and miss!

"It's the second time I didn't make it in a row. It seems that Harden is in trouble. Iguodala devoted himself to the defense, and Harden didn't get any chance!"

McHale panicked. He knew that the Grizzlies' defense was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong!

Harden now looks helpless and doesn't look like the first three games at all.

Gasol Jr. took a smile on his rebound, and the Grizzlies counterattacked again!

This time, Conley stabilized his pace and did not hit fast. But if you think the Rockets are good at position defense, you would be very wrong.

Needless to say, Harden is famous for his eye defense. Due to his physical condition, Jeremy Lin can only defend at most without dragging his feet.

Patterson and Asik, one is shorter and the other is softer, neither is the big frame guard gate.

Parsons, the only defense that the entire Rockets can defend, is not top-notch.

Facing Link's empty-handed entry, Parsons felt that his height was completely useless.

Link's escape was very exquisite, and the off-ball screen set by the others of the Grizzlies was just right.

This round, when Link hit the right bottom corner to receive the ball, Parsons was already thrown away from both positions!

Link was not modest and shot after receiving the ball. Parsons gave up the jump and blocked it because he knew it was useless.

Now, the only thing he can do is pray that Link himself missed the ball.

However, Link, who was so stable in shooting, did not get Parsons to do what he wanted.

Basketball's three-pointer was added to the net, 7-0, and the Houston Rockets had no resistance!

"Link scored 5 points, and Harden has not opened yet. We are all looking forward to the battle between Harden and Link, but at present, this seems to have become a one-man show for Link."

"Three-pointer, one three-pointer!" McHale was anxious. He put his hands in a trumpet shape next to his mouth, shouting at the players.

One feature of McHale's tactics is that it has a large number of three-point shots. Harden's three-point shots have soared from 4.7 times last season to 6.2 times.

Nowadays, three-pointers and fast attacks in this league are becoming more and more popular, and McHale is also following the trend.

In the first three games, Harden made good three-pointers. But most of them were shots after opening or shaking the space.

However, today, Harden could not find a chance to make a three-pointer.

Harden and Parsons are the two main three-point shooting points of the Rockets. But now, they are both locked!

The Rockets' tactics have not been played out when the 24-second offensive time is about to be used up.

In desperation, Jeremy Lin had to borrow a simple pick-and-roll and then took a three-pointer!

For Jeremy Lin, this is a bit difficult.

"Bang!"

McHale covered his forehead but still didn't score! He felt like he had become a football coach. Why was it so difficult to score a goal?

What's even more terrible is that the Grizzly's firepower seems to have no intention of stopping.

This time, Gaso Jr. got the basketball in the middle distance, and Asik had to follow out. The Rockets lost the only high point at the basket, and Stevens laughed, and the tactics were half successful!

At the same time, Link suddenly leaned against Parsons and wanted to play singles at the low post!

Gasol, little, did not hesitate and gently hung the ball in. The big white bear's superb support ability allowed him to make no mistakes in this link.

A lineman gave the outside line backwards, Link was able to fight Parsons in a low post without being disturbed by the Rockets center!

Parsons is 2.08 meters, but don’t forget that Link’s biggest enemy, Durant, is 2.11 meters!

Fighting with a taller striker than himself has long become Link's survival instinct.

Link tentatively slapped Parsons with his back and found that Parsons was moving forward, ready to resist his advancement and turnover jump shot. So Link turned around with a superb back and passed Parsons!

"So mature! His back-on attack doesn't look like a young player!"

Parsons was unwilling to give up and pulled a kick when Link was preparing to make a layup. But he was so desperate that he didn't push too hard.

In terms of experience, Parsons still lacks some. Link made a layup, and the referee whistle sounded, and the chance to score a three-pointer!

"This kind of foul is the most meaningless. Either you just be more ruthless and don't let the opponent score a goal, or just don't do it. Let the opponent score a goal and send him to the free throw line, which is simply."

Seeing Link score another goal easily and freehand, McHale discovered that the Chinese striker who seemed to have a less explosive score than Harden had encountered any pressure at all today.

In other words, the Rockets' defense is like a layer of paper to him. With a light poke, a hole will be broken.

When he wanted to score, the Rockets could do nothing.

McHale swallowed, and on the court, Link made a steadily penalty.

10-0! The Rockets were forced to pause!

McHale hurriedly looked up at the big screen on the scene. Harden and Link's current scoring ratio is 0-8, and Harden lost completely!

With 8 points, Link has already scored 8 points! You know, I didn’t even score half of the game in the first quarter!

On the other hand, Stevens also discovered this problem. Link was in good condition in the offense today because he didn't have to think about anything except offense. Moreover, even without too complicated cooperation, he could easily score with his personal ability.

So, Stevens temporarily changed his attention. When the player plays well, it cannot be wasted.

He didn't bother to get the small stool, but instead knelt on one knee and squatted in front of Link, who was wiping his sweat. "I'm in good condition today."

"The Rockets' defense is too loose." Link shrugged.

"Listen to Link, today, let Harden see what real scoring explosiveness means."

Stevens decided that today we had to let Link let go and play. It would be a pity to waste this state.
