Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 228 150 [Old King's Obsession]

Dirk Nowitzki hit his first three-pointer of the game, but it was a very critical three-pointer, because this three-pointer helped the Lone Ranger narrow the point difference to less than 10 points.

"Whoa, Dirk was in an unexpected position and the bayonet pass was just right, so everything seemed to fall into place"

"This is Dirk Nowitzki. This is what we have been talking about. When the small ball era officially replaces traditional basketball, how many big men who were once called prehistoric monsters in the interior can adapt to this era."

"Shaq, you definitely can't do it, but your opponent Yao Ming can definitely do it. Besides, Dirk Nowitzki is another player that we recognize as the dominant insider in the small ball era, but it's a pity Dirk is retiring soon"

In the tnt live broadcast room, Charles Barkley spit out lotus flowers, praised Dirk Nowitzki on the one hand, and on the other hand did not forget to step on Shaquille O'Neal.

"It's true that I don't have 3 points, but I am still the overlord in the small ball era. I never need to rely on shooting to score. As long as I stand under the basket, others have to get out of the way immediately. This is my charm. I am born to do it." this big"

Shaq O'Neal smiled dismissively, he felt that Charles Barkley was completely nonsense.

He admitted that in the small ball era, many traditional insiders will be abandoned. As far as the current league is concerned, Dwight Howard is the most typical example.

From people's point of view, in the current small ball era, if big players want to survive, then you can't stay in the three-second zone. You have to come to the outside to shoot. This is the generally accepted rule of survival for big players.

But Shaq O'Neal never felt that these rules were useful to him. As he has stated publicly more than once, if the ok combination during the three consecutive championships is against the Golden State Warriors who created the small ball era and are called invincible, Then he and Kobe will let Stephen Curry and his juniors understand what dominance is, and Shaq O'Neal alone can mess up the inside of the Golden State Warriors.

Charles Barkley on the side laughed out loud. He had to admit that he just wanted to annoy Shaquille O'Neal.

Because as O'Neal himself said, no matter how miraculous the small ball era is, there is really nothing to do when facing a player like O'Neal.

On the court, on the way back to the defense, Jiang Hao and Dirk Nowitzki clapped their hands. Jiang Hao must admit that a veteran player like Dirk Nowitzki has too much experience in the game. very unexpected
Dirk Nowitzki responded to Jiang Hao with a smile, and stretched out his finger at Jiang Hao, and then pointed at himself, the meaning was very clear, he felt good, and they could have more cooperation like this.

Jiang Hao knows that Dirk Nowitzki is absolutely serious about this game. So far this season, the Dallas Mavericks have won more than lost, and there is no pressure on the record. Therefore, Dirk Nowitzki has been playing well. He is not hot, has no desires, and rarely exerts his strength in the regular season.

Including Jiang Hao himself, all Mavericks players are very clear that Dirk Nowitzki is accumulating energy for the playoffs, and everyone supports Nowitzki in doing so.

But tonight's game against the Houston Rockets, perhaps just as Dirk Nowitzki himself said in the locker room, he is unwilling to lose to Texas, which has been fighting for many years, in the last season of his career. old rival.

Therefore, he intends to go all out in this game.

James Harden finally made a shot this time, but it was not a sports game goal, but a free throw.

That's right.

At such a critical moment, James Harden used his signature, which is to become the son of JDZ.

Matthews was touched by him without paying attention.

Despite James Harden's two free throws, the Toyota Center erupted into loud cheers again.

But Jiang Hao showed a look of contempt, he really looked down on James Harden's scoring method.

Especially when James Harden is a shooting guard, he can have his own signature, but this kind of signature should definitely not be to rely on fouls to get twenty or thirty points every game.

In Jiang Hao's view, James Harden can completely align with the great gods such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. He has good physical fitness and strong athletic ability, so he can try to do so.

Instead of relying on this unrestrained touch to fill up the data device.

forget it.

Jiang Hao still shook his head.

Everyone has their own aspirations, he cannot publicly comment on James Harden's playing style, and James Harden obviously will not take the initiative to make changes, because compared with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and other great gods, he lacks one thing, a kind of A very important thing is a strong sense of victory.

In Jiang Hao's view, with the Houston Rockets' lineup configuration in the past few seasons, they are fully capable of competing for the championship, even in the West of Purgatory, even if they want to compete in the finals. The strong opponent will be the Golden State Warriors.

So why wasn't it done?

Jiang Hao feels that this is related to James Harden's style of play. He only values ​​his own scoring every night and will not lead the team forward with a strong sense of victory. From this perspective, James Harden is not even a A qualified leader.

From this point of view, Jiang Hao does not think that the Houston Rockets got James Harden from the Oklahoma City Thunder for a profit.

When James Harden relied on two free throws to widen the point difference to 10 points, it was the Lone Ranger's turn to attack again.

After the sudden attack of the attack just now, this time, the Houston Rockets' defense has become more targeted.

Especially Dirk Nowitzki, under the restrictions of Capela, he had to stay in the penalty area.

DeAndre Jordan was unrestricted at this time, but Jiang Hao had to frown.

Because it is impossible for him to turn around and pass it to DeAndre Jordan just like passing the ball to Dirk Nowitzki. Who makes DeAndre Jordan not capable of three-pointers?

Since passing the ball has become infinitely slim, then do it yourself, Jiang Hao's eyes instantly shone.

Tonight's game has been played so far, and he hasn't really shown his sword yet. He was originally preparing for the last moment, because he had a premonition that the two sides would fight until the last moment to decide the winner.

But it's not working now, he can't keep it anymore, because if the Houston Rockets are allowed to erode one point after another, will there really be a final moment?Jiang Hao didn't think so.
