“Eric Maynor handled the ball like a tool man through half court and immediately handed the damn basketball to Harden.
There is no Durant, no Westbrook, and even Su Bei is resting.
On the court, Harden is the main offensive point of the Thunder...
After receiving the ball, the three-threat waved and took off the ball. Harden raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper...
Quincy Pondexter, a 1.98 meter shooting guard and the 26th overall pick in the 2010 draft, was stunned. He was careless and did not respond.
Swish——!
Very nice!
A three-pointer went into the net. Harden was the No. 1 player in 2009, and he had the appearance of being the cornerstone of a weak team. But now in the Thunder, he can only bring the cornerstone talent to the bench. Is there any way to do it?
Are there any laws?
This dimensionality reduction blow is too harsh, and the Thunder are also ruthless..."
…
"Harden takes the ball, takes a step, puts his feet back, lifts the ball, changes his posture, and immediately breaks through with the ball.
Suddenly, he stopped suddenly, pulled up the ball, and shot a two-point pull-up jumper...
Swish——!
There it is again!
What the hell is Poundset?
Use this product to test Harden. Who can't withstand such a test? "
…
"The Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen as a defensive specialist, and Harden continued to play music and then played in isolation.
The three threats stepped forward and were followed. Allen even took advantage of the situation to complete the close defense. Harden's confrontation was good. He squeezed away with his arms, changed directions, broke through with the ball, stepped down and changed directions, suddenly accelerated, paused, and suddenly European step layup, penetrated the inside line that was not guarded by the black and white bears, hit the board with a layup, and scored the basketball.
Peng, shua——!
Harden is playing like crazy and has the potential to be a super sixth man. Tony Allen can't stand it! "
…
Seeing that Harden's condition was bursting and the offense was unstoppable, the Grizzlies replaced the defensive toughmen to mark Harden, and Scott Brooks replaced Maynor with Su Bei.
I have too many cards in my hand. When I have the advantage in the situation, I still add chips to the field. It is very unethical.
This wealthy battle is too bullying.
Once upon a time, in fact, the Grizzlies also had the possibility of fighting a rich war.
However, when selecting in 2009, the Grizzlies missed Harden, missed Evans, and missed Curry. The Grizzlies missed everything that could be offensive, and instead chose parallel imports who could defend. No. 2 Thabeet.
If you miss it, it will be forever. Forget it. If you miss it, it will be a curse.
It could have been like the Thunder, with all-you-can-eat rookie benefits, but it was screwed up like this.
The talent with a keen eye for drafting was brought to the Warriors by West. He has a sharp eye in the draft and cannot afford to fight for wealth.
Only a rotation led by Dante Cunningham, Josh Davis, Quincy Pondexter, OJ Mayo and Conley can be arranged.
The Thunder drafted Harden in 2009 to play as the sixth man, coupled with the growth of Yin Baka, the second-round pick in 2008, Maynor, who had little chance, and Sefolosha and Sefolosha as role players. Collison,
The Thunder's rotation is too strong.
Especially now, with the addition of Su Bei and Billups, the thickness of the Thunder's bench is simply terrifying.
Even if Billups hasn't played yet, without Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder can still use a top lineup to clean up any team in the rotation.
You know, Durant and Westbrook were both born in 1988. Now it is December 28, 2011. Rounding it off, it is only 2012. They are 24 years old when they are full.
That's an age where you can be fucked to death, so I'm asking you if you're afraid?
"It's Harden's breakthrough again. Tony Allen's defense is very good, but his talent is still crushed.
With his European steps, erratic rhythm, and talent for drawing fouls from time to time, Tony Allen was very passive in defense, and could only fight and retreat, seeing the end...
No, it was impossible to get to the end. OJ Mayo helped defend. Harden looked ordinary and had no superstar appearance. However, as if he had predicted OJ Mayo's movements, he used a back pass to pass the ball. The basketball was sent to the left three-point corner, and Su Bei, who had just been replaced, was empty.
The Grizzlies are in danger!
Just catch the ball, jump up, raise your hand and shoot a three-point jumper..."
oj Mayo, as the second overall pick in 2008, is of no use no matter how strong his physical talent is. He can only care about the inside but not the outside. He has no choice but to bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol has no bullets.
Swish——!
Guessed wrongly, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
"pretty!
A beautiful breakthrough point shot and a three-point shot from the bottom corner!
Harden's breakthrough was too sharp, and Su Bei's three-pointer was too accurate.
Especially Su Bei, are you bringing a microwave oven?
Otherwise it would be unreasonable and unexplainable. He just came on the field and it happened as soon as he made a move..."
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies' black and white bears rested on the bench. Their physical strength can crush the penalty area, but they are overweight and will cause problems.
The Grizzlies have no choice. They can only need their outside combination of Mayo and Conley to support them and provide their inside dual-core with time and space to breathe.
However, I originally thought that Su Bei was already very brave as a senior role player, but I didn't expect that he would be even braver than Su Bei. Who is being unreasonable?
“It’s Harden again, and with Su Bei’s containment, the Grizzlies can only defend alone.
Harden made a European step layup, and Tony Allen was caught out of the way. He fought and retreated. When he saw Harden lift the ball, he wanted to go for a layup. He immediately covered it with his hands and jumped forward.
What the hell?
The moment Tony Allen approached, Harden bumped into Tony Allen's hands. After knocking Tony Allen away, his body was gliding, and he pulled out his left hand. After the basketball hit the board, he dived towards the basket..."
Beep——!
Peng, shua——!
Harden landed, roared and beat his chest.
Europe broke through and made a layup, hitting Tony Allen's body to score 2+1!
I have never heard of a superstar playing as a substitute, I have never heard of an All-Star starter playing as a substitute, I have never heard of a regular season MVP playing as a substitute, I have never heard of a scoring champion playing as a substitute, I’ve never heard of a first-team player playing as a substitute, and I’ve never heard of someone who leads the assists rankings having to play as a substitute…
Alas, you heard it now.
Harden did it too!
Kobe did it too!
This is called don’t deceive young people into being poor!
However, in the eyes of the Grizzlies, you are called shameless and bullying!
Using a star with MVP-level potential like Harden to play in the rotation, isn't this shabby? But the Thunder did it, so what can you do to top it?
You can't stand it!
Conley didn't stand up and played like the fourth overall pick in 2007. His offensive performance was mediocre. He felt like he could do anything, but he didn't do anything. What's the use of you?
oj Mayo was very daring to play, but when he encountered Sofolosa, who focused all his energy on defense, his superstar talents were completely unable to be used.
After all, Mayo's talent is possible for bullying high school students and college students, but it seems that he is not ready for the NBA.
Four minutes passed in the third quarter. Under the leadership of Harden, who made a sudden outside shot, drew a foul, and passed the ball for assists, the Thunder beat the Grizzlies with a 13-5 shock wave, widening the point difference between the two sides to 11 point.
The Grizzlies replaced Gasol, but it was of no use. What they needed was offense. As a result, his appearance still failed to boost the Grizzlies' offense.
Of course, we finally have a core and a backbone on defense. In addition, Harden was tough for 4 minutes and then softened. The game has entered a situation where I don't understand defense and neither can you.
Seeing that the Grizzlies were about to be defeated, but fell short of 100 million points, Scott Brooks couldn't bear it, and with a wave of his hand, Westbrook and Durant, who had full fuel tanks, were replaced.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup became Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei, Harden, and Westbrough.
The Thunder's fourth youngster + advanced version role player Su Bei's offensive attributes are about to be maxed out in no time.
At this time, the score was 37 to 26, the Grizzlies had the ball, and Randolph had returned to the court.
“Conley was subbed out and replaced by Jeremy Pargo, dribbling the ball upcourt and immediately handing the basketball to Gasol who was pulled up high.
It was Durant who was following him, and Gasol dribbled the ball over him. Durant was too weak to withstand it, and the defense was penetrated.
】
Gasol, flanked by Durant and Harden, still completed a layup under the basket..."
Peng, shua——!
Durant was beaten by Gasol on the defensive end, and he finished the attack at the basket and scored two points.
37 to 28!
"It's not that Gasol's offense is too unsolvable, but Durant is not suitable for fighting people in the interior.
Attacking three and defending four is Durant's optimal solution.
Next, let's see how the Thunder attack. At this moment, the offensive talent in their formation is too strong.
The kind that almost overflows..."
“Westbrook broke through with the ball, Conley couldn’t guard him, and Jeremy Pargo couldn’t guard him even more.
Westbrook went in, and Tony Allen came to help defend. Westbrook did not waste time and immediately distributed the ball to Harden, who was in excellent condition.
From the right three-point corner, Harden caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and attempted a three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
"No, Harden missed a three-pointer.
Being guarded..."
Randolph took off the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Jeremy Pargo. He took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to distribute the ball to Gasol in the high post. He continued to dribble the ball to beat Durant. After being flanked, he immediately distributed the ball. To Randolph on the other side of the basket.
"Yin Baka was squeezed away by Randolph, and Jiangsu North came to help defend. Randolph didn't waste any time. He passed the ball to Mayo who came in through an air cut. He got the ball and immediately rushed to the basket for a layup..."
Su Bei could only stretch out his hand, not even daring to make any defensive moves.
Just ask and it's easy to get 2+1.
This kind of defense is useless in Hong Kong.
Bang-dang——!
"Mayo rushed in and finished the layup with great strength. His whole body was hanging on the basket..."
37 to 30!
The score difference became 7 points.
Looking back, Westbrook's breakthrough was flanked, and he passed the ball to Durant. He raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper...
Gasol just stretched out his hand to let others know that he was really defending, but he was actually listening to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
Durant's three-pointer hit the ground running.
"In the Grizzlies' counterattack, Gasol passed the ball to Jeremy Pargo, and immediately passed the ball to OJ Mayo after halftime.
Two on two in the frontcourt, Mayo beat Jiangsu Bei, dribbling the ball to break through, the breakthrough was so determined, Jiangsu Bei fought and retreated, but still couldn't withstand it..."
He has offensive space, he has speed, he can use his physical talents, and he can also hit the basket. What can Su Bei use to top it?
You can't stand it!
In the counterattack, OJ Mayo completed a layup, and the point difference became 5 points.
In the next game, the Thunder's offense picked up. After all, Durant is the scoring leader. Giving him the damn basketball is half the battle. The other half is to put the basketball into the basket. .
This is not a problem, it can be overcome with Durant's offensive talent.
It's a pity that Su Bei and Harden's offensive talents were wasted and they can only be treated as spectators.
In addition, Westbrook also took away half of the ball.
In the second quarter, the Thunder's rotation was able to defeat the Grizzlies.
Now they have an offensive lineup full of offensive attributes, but they can only play a 50-50 tie with the Grizzlies.
Why is this, you ask?
Just ask...
“The Grizzlies are so resilient and they play so hard.
Being behind by the score is not terrible. What is terrible is that the Grizzlies showed their 2011 black eight and pulled the game back. They were behind by 8 points at the beginning of the second quarter and have already recovered and even completed a one-point lead. .
There was not much time left for the Thunder. In the last 9 seconds of the second quarter, the team pulled away. Durant broke through OJ Mayo with the ball. Gasol came over to help defend. In the last 2 seconds, Durant Pulled it up and shot... No, I didn't shoot in the air. I chose to distribute the ball to the left three-point corner. Su Bei received the ball and made a three-point jumper at the buzzer..."
Buzz—!
Swish——!
As the buzzer sounded and the red light came on, Subei hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the second quarter ended.
In the second quarter, the Thunder relied on Su Bei's final three-pointer to beat the Grizzlies with a score of 33 to 31.
At the end of the first half, the score was 57 to 52. The Thunder entered the locker room to rest with a 5-point lead.
