The older superstars of the NBA
Chapter 369 Foul Showdown
There was not much time left in the first quarter, and Kevin Martin, who was replaced by Zhao Feiyang, naturally assumed the task of defending James Harden.
Soon, the Houston Rockets attacked again.
This time, after waiting for the ball to advance to the half court, Harden continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc.Before that, he sent Zhao Feiyang to rest temporarily by making two consecutive fouls. At this time, Harden's mentality was of course extremely confident.
When Martin came in front of him, Harden did not show any vigilance, but instead put on a posture to play one-on-one.
He dribbled with the ball in his crotch one after another, Martin's footsteps moved slightly, and Harden immediately changed direction and rushed to the basket.
His movements are extremely fast, but the inside of the Timberwolves is not undefended. After Dwight Howard also took a break, Adrian Ennis and Gorgui Dieng temporarily shouldered the burden of the team's inside defense .
After realizing that Harden broke through the penalty area with the ball, Adrian quickly stepped up to defend and stretched out his hand to block the shot.
His defensive actions are quite strict, forcing Harden to forcefully throw the ball at the last moment.
Swish.
To Adrian's surprise, Harden's ability is still very strong. Even if he is marked to death, such a ball is still sent to the basket.
His goal also cheered the Rockets fans on the sidelines.
It was the Timberwolves' turn to counterattack.
Zach LaVine advanced with the ball, and Martin made a gesture to him earlier.LaVine understood it, and immediately cooperated with Martin to play a screen after the ball had passed halftime.
Martin went around to catch the ball from the wing, LaVine pretended to pass the ball, but suddenly used Martin's pick-and-roll to rush inside.
He moved quickly, throwing away two defensive players one after another, but just before the shot, he was blocked by the Rockets insider Clint Capela.
LaVine had no choice but to transfer the ball out.
Snapped.
The basketball was given to Martin, who was standing outside the three-point line.
Martin, who got the ball, saw that Harden was in front of him, and he deliberately put on a look of rush to make a shot to attract Harden to mark.
Harden was really deceived, so when he really stretched out his hand to interfere, Martin, who stood on tiptoe, ended his feint and threw the ball to meet him.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Harden was fouled successfully.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Many old Rockets fans couldn't help but sigh.They have seen Martin's foul-making skills back then, and the fans were quite moved by the initiative of a veteran like him to deal with his own star.
"James can no longer play fouls! He and Kevin are both good at scoring in this way. If you continue to use this method to fight, then once James is sent off, it will be over..."
"Yes, for the Rockets, James is the only core, but for the Timberwolves, Kevin is very important but far less valuable than Zhao..."
"I like James' ball-handling rhythm very much! But I don't like the current style of play in the league. There are simply too many body whistles...It is of course a good thing that players can reduce injuries, but now the league Some have passed, and even the most basic confrontation is gone..."
"I don't like James' fouls, just like I didn't like Kevin's fouls. Real basketball is never like this..."
"The game in our era was better. The players at that time were never afraid of confrontation. Even a player like Allen Iverson who was only 1 meters tall always gave people a sense of invincibility. The feeling of being afraid..."
Some old fans were clearly disappointed by what happened on the field.
On the court, Harden, who had already received his second foul, was obviously a little depressed.After standing there shaking his head and sighing for a while, Harden stood outside the three-point line and watched Martin walk to the free throw line.
Swish.
The first ball was scored steadily.
When it was the second free throw, Martin turned his head and glanced at Harden. Harden didn't look at him, but deliberately turned his face to another place, responding with an indifferent expression.
Swish.
The second free throw was also successfully scored.
There is not much time left in the first quarter, and there is less than 1 minute before the break.
Harden lost his extra patience, and quickly asked his teammate Patrick Beverley to give him the ball directly.
"Beverly, let me take the ball!"
"James, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to give that guy some color! He's no match for me if he makes a foul..."
Snapped.
The basketball passes to Harden.
Harden dribbled the ball toward the half court, and when he was close to the three-point line, Martin immediately came up to mark it.
When the two met each other, Harden did not pretend to make a foul, but looked calm and prepared to fight hard in singles.
Martin also stretched out his arms to block Harden's offensive line.
The next second, Harden suddenly launched an attack. He dribbled the ball from the right side and pulled it away. Martin's body center of gravity followed closely. into two partitions.
Martin quickly adjusted the center of gravity of his body. When Harden passed him and entered the two divisions, he also rushed in next to Harden.
However, Martin did not expect that Harden had just entered the penalty area when he suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed his left hand.
The action was so sudden that Martin was completely unprepared. By the time he reacted, Harden had already made a fake move to force his shot and be pulled off.
His acting is perfect.
If Martin hadn't known that he was being dragged, he might even have misunderstood that someone had really dragged Harden off.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Sure enough, Martin was whistled for a defensive foul, and Harden, who landed, put on a look of aggrieved intentionally, and even went up to the referee to argue, "No, referee, is this just an ordinary foul?"
"He grabbed my hand, I think it should be counted as a technical foul... yes, he should be given a technical foul..."
Of course the referee ignored Harden, but was bypassed by his words.
"No, this ball is an ordinary foul. There is nothing wrong with my penalty! I don't need you to teach me how to do it..."
Harden pretended to be making fun of himself and walked away.
The most depressed person at this time is undoubtedly Martin.
He knew very well that if he went up in this situation, he might offend the referee.Originally, the judgment on the court is very subjective. Many times, what the referee says is what it is. Even if an appeal can be made, it must wait until after the end, and it will not have any impact on the results that have already occurred.
Therefore, Martin chose to take this boring loss.
Swish.
Harden's free throws were also very accurate, and both balls went into the basket smoothly.
The Timberwolves continued to serve.
At this time, there were only the last 20 seconds left in the game. LaVine was surrounded when he dribbled the ball at halftime, and he handed over the ball to Martin.
Martin once again put on a stance to face Harden, the two met each other, he suddenly broke through to the basket, Harden followed closely behind and stared at him, Martin saw Harden following him, and hurriedly joined the ball to fake a shot action action.
Harden took advantage of the opportunity to rush at him, and when he saw that Martin hadn't shot, he quickly withdrew his hand. Unexpectedly, Martin made false moves and shot, and Harden subconsciously rushed forward after being shaken one after another. As a result, it hit Martin's arms, and he shot again after Harden jumped up. Throw the ball towards the opponent.
