This sentence immediately confused Harden.
It’s not like I’m pretending to be cool.
But Lu Yao just left these words, and after landing, he ran directly back to the backcourt to defend, leaving only a stunned Harden.
Harden reacted and nodded towards Lu Yao, biting his lip with his teeth.
OK, OK, OK.
Ariza received the ball, came to the baseline to serve, and handed the ball to Harden.
The Rockets' offensive round began.
Harden slowly advanced with the ball and reached the top of the arc. At this moment, the Rockets players on the court were constantly running and conducting without the ball.
The Thunder players behind him are constantly chasing, trying to destroy the Rockets' conduction.
But the Rockets did a very good job and did not let the Thunder affect their transmission, which seemed very stable.
Immediately, Harden received the pass from the bottom corner, and Robertson, who was defending, quickly stepped forward, but Harden had already raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.
After the ball drew a perfect arc in the air, it hit the target hollowly.
This three-pointer helped the Rockets tie the score.
Harden, who was angered by Lu Yao, wanted to go all out. This three-pointer was just an appetizer for Harden.
But how could Lu Yao let Harden shoot through the Thunder? After all, he is not a vegetarian.
The Thunder quickly switched offense and defense, and Lu Yao dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt. Four Rockets players leaned in Lu Yao's direction, surrounding Lu Yao.
Of the remaining four Thunder players, only Ariza is left, and even Ariza's eyes are still on Lu Yao.
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.
"This is truly a gravitational force. The four members of the Thunder seem to have been left out."
"There seems to be magic in Lu's body, attracting the entire Rocket Team."
"But the Rockets did the right thing. The outcome of this game depends on Lu. As long as Lu is strangled to death, then the Rockets have hope of winning?"
"Let's see how Lu will handle the current situation?"
I saw that Lu Yao was still determined to break forward. Even though the Rockets players had surrounded him, he did not panic at all.
It's not like he has never done one against five. As he said, he has absolute confidence in himself.
Immediately, Lu Yao made a crisp dribble from behind, directly shook Beverley away, and broke through to the inside. What greeted him was Harden and Yunus' complementary defense.
Lu Yao didn't panic at all. He leaned over and blasted the ball directly through the gap between the two of them. He was so fast that the two bodies were directly separated.
With a height of 2m16, Lu Yao once again shocked the audience by being able to complete such a smooth personal attack.
With his skillful ball control skills, Lu Yao always has the ball in his hands without any influence at all.
This is completely what top point guards can do.
People at this moment see in Lu Yao the answer to that alliance, the shadow of Allen Iverson.
Sitting in front of the TV, Iverson was a little dazed when he saw this scene, recalling his gorgeous personal offensive performance in his mind.
He smiled knowingly, stared at Lu Yao on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This young man really looks like me.
After passing three people in a row, Lu Yao faced only the defense from Ariza inside.
Lu Yao directly attacked the basket from the bottom line. Seeing this, Ariza directly blocked the position at the bottom of the basket, forcing Lu Yao to break through on the edge.
This position can't help but hinder the offense and face the risk of going out of bounds at any time.
Just when Ariza thought Lu Yao was about to pull him out, Lu Yao did not stop.
In front of Ariza, Lu Yao took off directly. His whole body seemed to be flying forward. His hands kept moving and he swung the ball in a wide loop.
Lu Yao wanted to challenge a difficult giant loop!
Some of the audience present even stood up, looking forward to what would happen next.
Lu Yao glanced at Ariza, looking very casual.
Immediately, the ball was released and stayed in the air for a moment.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on the ball.
After the ball bounced on the basket a few times, it slowly fell into the basket!
The scene suddenly burst into deafening cheers!
A big man of 2m16, after passing three people in a row, completed a difficult pull bar. This scene is really amazing.
This goal was directly booked to top the top ten goals of the day!
The entire first quarter seemed to be Lu Yao's personal performance. Lu Yao showed off various tricks and caught the Rockets off guard.
Although under the leadership of Harden, the Rockets still stabilized the situation, the fierce attack from Lu Yao gradually put the Rockets into decline.
…
As Harden forced a three-point shot, the Thunder and Rockets officially declared the end of the first quarter.
The score was fixed at 26:23, and the Thunder entered the second quarter with a slight advantage.
All the Thunder's scores are related to Lu Yao.
In the first quarter, Lu Yao scored 17 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, and 0 turnovers, almost filling the data column.
In just one quarter, Lu Yao contributed to the top 10 goals scored by Howard, who caught the shot head-on, and scored four difficult pull shots.
People can't imagine what Lu Yao will do in the last three quarters.
As for Howard and Ariza who were defending Lu Yao, the entire Thunder team was already stunned.
Because no matter what tricks they use, they can't stop Lu Yao from scoring.
If it weren't for Harden's excellent touch and 15 points in a single quarter, I'm afraid the Rockets would have been pulled away by the Thunder.
Lu Yao used one person's power to knock the whole rocket into pieces.
This kind of personal ability is beyond the reach of any rookie this year.
If anyone else says that Lu Yao's ability to produce such good data relies on the space created by Durant and Westbrook, then in today's game, Lu Yao will shatter all doubts.
Despite the offensive pressure of the entire Rockets team, he was able to score 17 points on 7-for-8 shooting. Lu Yao's performance today was impeccable.
From his debut to the present, no matter what the situation, people have never seen Lu Yao pull his hips, because he is too c-shaped.
Fans now discuss him with those historical superstars instead of rookies of the same generation.
This gap was suddenly widened.
Although the Thunder held the lead in the first quarter, they still could not relax their vigilance.
The Rockets' offensive offensive is very fierce. If you let down your guard, you may be chased back by the Rockets.
For the sake of stability, Donovan did not choose to let Lu Yao take a rest and let him continue on the court in the second quarter.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the second quarter began and the ball was handed over to the Rockets.
