I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 199 Rookie, if you don't come up again, I will blow up your teammates! !

Harris' performance in the first quarter was completely disaster-level, but at this moment, the Clippers' offense was blocked. As the team's second scorer, Harris must stand up and take over the game.

When Li Yang left the court, Harris naturally became the first offensive point on the court, and Lu Wei also took the initiative to hand over the basketball to Harris.

Let Harris do the final scoring.

The Rockets, relying on Gordon's two three-pointers, continued to widen the point difference to double digits.

Harris must respond at this time, otherwise the game may collapse, and the time has come to test his ability to lead the team alone.

Lu Wei stepped on the Lingbo, dodged and moved, and went directly to the basket. Facing Capela's all-round block, he strangled his body with difficulty, and swung the basketball horizontally from under the basket to Harris who came out of the left corner.

Standing in front of Harris at this time was the round-faced Gordon.

No one thought that Eric Gordon, who was known for his offense back then, turned to the Rockets and became an excellent 3D player after suffering a serious injury in his career.

Last year, Eric Gordon defeated Kyrie Irving in the All-Star Three-Point Contest playoffs and was crowned the three-point champion.

So his three-pointer is also the top existence in the league, and it can be said that it is the most stable open three-pointer for the Rockets.

At the same time, although Gordon's defensive ability is average, he is still very tough in physical confrontation.

Harris' eyes have been staring at the basket, and this time, no matter what, he has to throw the damn basketball into the basket.

Harris took the lead with a standard tentative step, and Gordon's body responded immediately.

Harden's defense is still quite oppressive. He is tightly attached to Harris' body, hoping to limit Harris' breakthrough through this active pressing defense.

But Harris is still Harris after all. When he has an absolute advantage in height and weight, when he wants to score, a mere round face can't prevent him at all! !

Harris, who had already accelerated, suddenly came to a sudden brake!
Harris, who stopped in a hurry, ignored Yuanlian Deng's block, directly pulled up and shot, making a standard jumping action! !
"Shhh!!"

Harris ignored the round-faced defense and hit a mid-range jumper! !
This time, Harris finally showed his very good singles ability! !

Harris is called "Little Anthony" for no reason. His main scoring methods include post-up singles, fixed-point shots, singles, transition offenses, pick-and-rolls with the ball, and catch-and-shoot shots after off-ball screens.

He's proficient in all of them and has a very balanced number of possessions per game, per offense, and he has a lot of ways to score.

After Harris used his personal strength to complete the score, the Toyota Center Arena also broke out sparse applause for face.

This is a situation that Rockets fans don't want to see! !

"Tieha actually bloomed, but it's useless for birds! Who can't eat turkey for Christmas!!"

"Eric has defended well enough, but Harris' offense is really ugly. He hasn't improved much in the past two years. Although he can do everything, he can't shoot anything!!"

"Little Anthony can only be little Anthony, and we will let our Cameron teach him what is the real offensive kaleidoscope!!"

"Blow up the Clippers, the Rockets champion!!"

As expected, it is the home court of the Rockets. There are basically very few Clippers fans in the Toyota Center Arena...

Perhaps this is the result of the Rockets' long-term management.

After Harris found the offensive touch, the Clippers finally started to attack back, frequently hitting the basket and hitting the Rockets' basket.

However, on the Rockets side, the tacit cooperation between Chris Paul and Capela also maintained a high shooting rate.

Especially Anthony's singles are completely supernatural, and old trees bloom new flowers.

The two inside players of the Clippers, the old and old combination of Gortat and Scott, obviously couldn't hold up a blue sky for the Clippers under the basket.

Capela's excellent jumping ability, coupled with unparalleled upper body strength...

As long as Paul can pass a good pass to Capela, then basically Capela can pour the basketball into the basket.

The defense of the two Clippers inside big men is more like paper at this moment, and it can be broken by blowing a bomb!

They can only turn around and quietly admire Capela's wanton bombing of the basket! !

Weak interior defense is indeed the biggest problem facing the Clippers now. If the Clippers want to reach the Western Conference Finals, they must obtain a big center with super defensive capabilities before the end of the trade deadline.

The Rockets' offense is sorted out quite smoothly under Paul's control.

Players such as Gordon and Anthony also got more scoring opportunities during this period.

Every Rockets player on the court has also found his shooting touch. Both the Rockets and the Clippers seem to have given up on defense. The second quarter was completely reduced to a confrontation battle! !
Harris scored through his low singles, while the Rockets relied on Paul and Capela's alley-oop to score! !

For a while, the game was played very well, and the Rockets fans were also very excited, but Coach Rivers' face became more and more ugly.

The Clippers' defense has resurfaced its old problems during this time.

Coupled with the fact that Beverly has already committed three fouls early, this will have a very negative impact on the Clippers' progress in the next game.

For Rivers, he must solve the team's defensive problems as soon as possible.

Rivers glanced at the team's bench, and finally shook his head helplessly.

Judging from the current roster of the Clippers, it is absolutely futile to improve the team's defense through substitutions! !

After some thinking, Rivers could only send Li Yang and Harrell ahead of schedule to replace Gortat and Beverly.

Li Yang continued to play the first position, and Harrell was the fourth position. Scott, who was originally the fourth position, played the center position.

The main reason why Rivers made this personnel adjustment is that he believes that Beverly did not do a good job of restricting Paul on the defensive end.

As we all know, in the Rockets, although Harden is the boss on the bright side, Paul is the real core of the team.

If the Clippers want to win tonight, the first and most important thing is to strictly limit Paul's passing on the defensive end and cut off the connection between his teammates and him.

Paul seems to be the offensive brain of the Rockets. Almost every attack of the Rockets will be completed by Paul.

Before Li Yang played, the Clippers coach Rivers specifically told Li Yang that he must intercept Paul in all directions.

About the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, the Rockets at home temporarily led the Clippers by 64:54 points by a full ten points.

Paul continued to perform well in the second quarter. In addition to scoring 9 points, he also sent 7 assists!
Cake King Capella almost vomited while eating cakes under the basket.

After Li Yang came on the field, in addition to limiting Paul's passing as much as possible on the defensive end, he also had to score as much as possible to help the team catch up to the score.

The Clippers' offensive round.

Li Yang took the ball to the frontcourt. He turned his head and glanced at Harris on the weak side, and found that there were at least two Clippers players around him ready to double-team.

Now Harris has become the key defensive target of the Rockets. If the basketball continues to be handed over to Harris, with Harris' current average dribbling ability, it is not so difficult to score under the pressure of two Rockets defensive players. It is very likely that the opponent will succeed in stealing.

Li Yang made a decisive decision, since he couldn't complete the assist, he could only attack by himself!
Paul is not a perimeter player who is very good at defense. When he and Li Yang face each other one-on-one, he has no advantage in terms of height or speed, and he is not Li Yang's opponent at all.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Li Yang lowered his center of gravity and leaned over to hold the ball.

Paul knew that he was not capable enough, so he directly avoided the matchup with Li Yang, and the person defending Li Yang became PJ Tucker.

"Come on PJ, kick his ass hard!!"

"If you really can't guard against it, let's give him an ultimate millennium kill!!"

"Prevent him..."

Tucker threatened Li Yang viciously: "Rookie, if you dare to play Pingci in front of me, then in the next round I will mercilessly send you a savage dash and a shameful iron fist. I just don't know that your small body can withstand me several times."

"Oh, what you say makes me so scared!! Come on, if you have the ability to hurt each other, let's see if I will accept your trick!!!" Li Yang retorted forcefully.

"Fake, you damn rookie, let's wait and see!!" After speaking, Tucker's face was gloomy, and his eyes glared at Li Yang.

"Anyone who is afraid is a grandson, I am not scared too much! Still staring? Eyeballs are about to fall off, it has nothing to do with me!!"

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.

What Tucker said so casually reminded Li Yang that it might be a good choice to touch porcelain once in a while.

"These two guys are quite interesting." In the commentary booth, Barkley became more and more excited as he watched. He liked to watch such scenes full of gunpowder.

In Barkley's view, Yang is already the strongest arrow in the perimeter offense, while Tucker is an excellent defensive expert.

Especially one-on-one single defense! !

After Tucker joined the Rockets in the 17-18 season, he immediately became an important defensive gate for the team's outside line. Tucker's strong body can even defend inside players. At the same time, he is often arranged by D'Antoni to defend an excellent small forward like James.

This strong duel between spear and shield makes people excited just thinking about it! !
