Step back, step back.
Harden is also good at stepping back, but fans and media in the league were more impressed by Zhao Chen's stepping back.
Harden felt that Zhao Chen's step back was very similar to his, but he didn't know why. Zhao Chen's step back attracted more attention from the media and fans than him.
Harden shook his beard helplessly.
After provoking Harden, Zhao Chen raised his finger and shook his head to celebrate.
Step back three-pointers are sometimes unreasonable.
No matter whether you are familiar with the rhythm or not, you just can't prevent it.
James Harden grasped the rhythm of Zhao Chen's retreat, but he just couldn't prevent it. This ball was unreasonable in the hands of others, but it was reasonable in Zhao Chen's hands. This is Zhao Chen's ability! " Zhang Weiping shouted.
"Zhao Chen is another Thunder player who can make unreasonable shots. This kind of ball is his style." Yu Jia said.
"That's right, just hit him like this." Westbrook came over and gave Zhao Chen a high-five.
Beverley's defense made Westbrook feel a little tricky. This guy was too dirty, but the strength of Zhao Chen and Durant made Westbrook's pressure easier.
Rockets offense.
Harden's advancement speed is obviously not as slow as when Zhao Chen watched the Rockets game in his previous life.
Playing against the Thunder kept Harden's attention full. Harden's steps were fast and he also shot the ball quickly.
Harden was still in the backcourt, so he passed the ball to Howard who was running at high speed.
The ball flew over the heads of Westbrook and Ibaka, and was just caught by Howard.
I have to say that Harden's passing ability is very cool.
Howard was in a good position to receive the ball, and he took the ball and took a step forward.
If it was Howard when he was young, Howard would choose to dunk, but now Howard chooses to lick the basket.
Easily scored.
5 to 9.
Harden retreated calmly and did not provoke Zhao Chen, as if it was insignificant. It was not difficult for him to send such a pass, but this was something neither Westbrook nor Zhao Chen could do.
Harden's passing is also a great threat to a certain extent, and it is difficult to completely block the muffins he delivers to the inside.
Thunder offense.
Durant was stuck tightly to Parsons and had no good chance to catch the ball.
Westbrook got rid of Beverley and passed the ball to Zhao Chen.
Ibaka provided a screen for Zhao Chen. After Zhao Chen passed Harden, he encountered Jones' help.
Terrence Jones is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 114 kilograms. He averaged 12 points and 7 rebounds per game this season.
As a protégé of the famous NCAA coach Calipari, Terrence Jones was once considered a popular candidate for the "No. 1 pick" in 2011. Because he is a left-handed ball handler and has excellent passing skills, coupled with his excellent On defense, Jones looks like a young Lamar Odom.
Jones is very good at using his physical confrontation ability to bully smaller defenders. He is an excellent mismatch killer.
Zhao Chen is also very familiar with Jones, but what he is familiar with is his contract dispute with the Rockets.
Jones is a poor man who was screwed by his agent.
But there must be something hateful about this poor man. He is greedy, just like Thomas Jr. who wanted "a truckload of money" for a big contract, but was gradually eliminated by the NBA because of contract issues...
Zhao Chen accelerated a second time and hit Jones' right side. Jones was not shaken off by Zhao Chen, but continued to confront Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen had a certain positional advantage, but was under great pressure. After all, Jones was a power forward and was stronger than him in confrontation.
Zhao Chen rushed to the basket and made a sudden stop!
Jones didn't brake quickly and rushed directly to the bottom line!
Zhao Chen turned around and made an easy layup.
5 to 11
Zhao Chen's steps were very good and he deceived Jones directly.
"Oh, poor Jones, he was swayed away."
"Zhao Chen's rhythm is really good. To beat a small player against a big player, you have to rely on your brain."
"Well done, and knocked Jones away perfectly."
"This style of play is very reasonable."
"Whether it's reasonable or unreasonable depends on Zhao Chen's thoughts. Anyway, just watch him show off."
"The Rockets' defense was defeated easily."
The fans cheered, Zhao Chen scored 5 points in a row, this performance was very good.
Rockets offense.
Beverly pushed forward quickly.
Beverley advanced to the frontcourt and gave it to Harden.
Howard quickly put Harden on the screen.
Zhao Chen was blocked by Howard, and Ibaka switched defenses with Zhao Chen.
Ibaka kept pressing Harden, but Ibaka didn't dare to let Harden stay steady and challenge him one-on-one.
He couldn't guard Harden's singles.
Harden saw Howard's mismatch and immediately gave the ball to Howard.
Zhao Chen firmly held Howard's waist.
Howard didn't look at Zhao Chen at all. He turned his back and took one step to the basket and wanted to dunk!
The big one beats the small one. Normally, Howard would be in a position like this.
But, “Bah!”
The victory points accumulated in the previous round of the series allowed Zhao Chen to increase his steal attribute to 80 points.
Zhao Chen cut off the ball the moment Howard held the ball.
Zhao Chen didn't save any face for Howard. Zhao Chen passed the ball to Westbrook, and Westbrook got rid of Beverley and started the electric motor.
Impact the frontcourt! ! !
Gorgeous dunk! ! !
"frame!"
Westbrook displays the unique violent aesthetics of a point guard.
5 to 13.
"pause!!"
The rocket was stopped by thunder.
Zhao Chen rushed over to perform a chest-bumping ceremony with Westbrook.
"Zhao, that's a beautiful pass." Westbrook said gratefully.
This is his first score of the game, which is very refreshing.
"Why are you so polite? Be careful of that guy's flagrant foul." Zhao Chen reminded Westbrook of Beverley's dirty moves.
Just now, he discovered that Beverley wanted to hold Westbrook from behind as he started to speed up.
This kind of action is dirty and hurtful.
Thinking of Westbrook being injured by Beverly in his previous life, Zhao Chen was still a little worried.
"It's okay, I'm not worried, I can handle that guy." Westbrook said carelessly.
Zhao Chen said nothing more.
"Zhao Chen scored 5 points, Durant scored 6 points, and Westbrook scored 2 points. The Thunder's scoring was taken care of by three people. This is a very familiar scene." Zhang Weiping said.
The Thunder's offense is basically finished by the Big Three, and the other players' shots depend on luck.
"The Rockets' defense is not strong enough. This kind of defense cannot guard against the Thunder." Yu Jia said.
"Not every team is the Grizzlies. The Thunder's offensive power is only shown at this time." Zhang Weiping said.
The Thunder got off to a great start.
As the commentator said, after surviving the Grizzlies' level of defense, now facing the Rockets' defense, the Thunder have become very relaxed.
On the sidelines, Harden complained: "That ball shouldn't be cut, it can be played high."
Harden felt Howard wasted his money.
Howard pushed Harden and said: "I don't want to be cut, that guy started too fast."
McHale came out to stop the argument between the two: "Stop arguing, defense, you must strengthen me. If you can't defend, score the ball on the offensive end. James, reduce the number of points and control mistakes. Their transition is very fast." , we can’t stand this kind of beating.”
"OK!" Harden nodded.
Indeed, if a mistake is counterattacked, the Rockets will be doomed.
The Thunder's counterattack was too fast.
