Watching the opening game, Presti was very happy sitting on the sidelines.
Zhao Chen's performance was outstanding, and this was also one of his draft masterpieces.
Pause back.
Beverley advanced with the ball.
Harden kept trying to catch the ball, but Zhao Chen tightly entangled Harden, and Harden didn't have a good way to catch the ball.
Zhao Chen knows that defending Harden must start from his receiving the ball.
"Zhao Chen's defense is very strong, which is often covered up by his offense. If James Harden is entangled with Zhao Chen like this, it will consume a lot of money." Barkley said.
Beverley was originally going to give it to Harden, but Harden couldn't get a chance, so he had to give it to Parsons.
Parsons took the ball and hit the basket with the help of Jones' pick-and-roll.
Durant was blocked, Adams' defense was slow, and Parsons scored a layup.
7 to 13
Today's Gao Fushuai is still a player who can get a big contract based on his strength, not just through deception.
The Thunder's inside rim protection is still almost useless.
Westbrook dribbled the ball through halftime and continued to give it to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen continued to play Harden in singles.
This is a tactic arranged by Brooks, which continuously consumes Harden on both offense and defense.
Harden was very close to Zhao Chen, just to guard against Zhao Chen's left step back.
Zhao Chen decisively jumped to the right, which was easier than crossing the road.
In the mid-range position, no one is marking him, Zhao Chen makes an emergency stop in the mid-range!
The Big Three of the Thunder all have the ability to make emergency stops in the mid-range.
Durant's is the most unsolvable, followed by Zhao Chen's, and Westbrook's zombie jumper is the worst.
Very stable!
"Uh-huh!"
An arrow pierces the heart.
7 to 15.
The Rockets just couldn't guard against the Thunder's offense.
"The Thunder showed a different start than when they played the Grizzlies. Their firepower was extremely strong. Zhao Chen's singles were very aggressive. I hope James Harden can withstand such an attack." Kenny Smith said.
Smith is not optimistic about Harden, because Harden usually shows very little fighting spirit.
The Rockets attacked, and Westbrook kept putting pressure on Beverley. Beverley's dribbling staggered a little. Before halftime, Beverley passed the ball to Harden.
Zhao Chen also continued to give Harden physical confrontation.
Harden's dribbling is very good, and Zhao Chen's continuous chipping was also unsuccessful.
Harden faced Zhao Chen and made a sideways jump shot!
Zhao Chen's interference was successful, and Harden's step-back three-pointer was successful.
Harden's current step-back skills are really not as domineering as Zhao Chen's.
The rebound was won by Ibaka.
Ibaka to Westbrook.
Westbrook advanced to the frontcourt and gave it to Durant.
Zhao Chen provided a cover for Durant, and the two of them cooperated.
Harden and Parsons switch defenses.
Durant back-up Harden at the free throw line.
Zhao Chen cut inside to take away Parsons, and Durant simply met Harden's fadeaway jumper! !
With a high arc, Harden had no choice.
"Uh-huh!"
7 to 17.
After Durant scored, he said to Harden: "James, you are too short."
Harden's expression was as usual, unmoved.
When he defends against Durant, he also depends on the sky.
Rockets offense.
Harden and Jones cooperated, Harden hit the ground to Jones, and Jones got rid of Ibaka's rebound and succeeded!
9 to 17.
The Rockets, like the Grizzlies, focus on attacking the Thunder inside.
Ibaka also proved that he is a master of blocking shots, but he is not a defensive expert and often misses people.
The Thunder attack comes again.
After a series of moves, Zhao Chen successfully received the ball from the right three-point line.
It was Beverley who defended Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen directly threw the ball to Westbrook who was cutting inside from outside the three-point line.
Westbrook catches the ball and hits Harden for a zombie jumper! !
"Uh-huh!"
9 to 19.
Missless shots!
The Thunder's Big Three used a very domineering offense to tear the Rockets' defense to pieces.
"I kind of feel sorry for Harden."
"Being hung up and beaten by the Big Three."
"Haden: When you used to watch the moon with me, you called me Xiaotiantian! Now the new person is better than the old person, and you call me Mrs. Niu!"
"The Thunder will take turns beating Harden today?"
"Harden can't bear it without going to nightclubs."
On the sidelines, McHale was tired watching this scene.
The Thunder made it clear that Harden was consumed on both offense and defense, but there was nothing he could do.
Harden's hanging also sent Chesapeake Energy into cheers.
The Thunder's offensive shooting percentage is too high, almost all of them have the ball.
"Stop the tempo, don't go too fast," McHale shouted toward the court.
The Thunder's offensive efficiency is too high and must be suppressed.
Harden slowly caught the ball and pushed forward.
Zhao Chen didn't guard Harden, he guarded Beverley, and Harden left it to Westbrook to defend.
Parsons cut inside, Harden sent it directly to Parsons, and Parsons made an alley-oop and scored the ball.
With the offense going smoothly, Durant's defense became instinctively relaxed.
11 to 19.
"Concentrate on defense." Zhao Chen shouted at Durant.
Durant ignored Zhao Chen, he didn't think it was a big deal.
In the next few rounds, both sides' offenses were in trouble.
With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, Zhao Chen successfully caught the ball from outside the three-point line with the help of Ibaka's screen.
Harden continued to attack Zhao Chen's three-pointer, and Zhao Chen continued to break through. Jones wanted to stop Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen used a turn to get rid of Jones and came to the right to continue sprinting.
Harden came over again at this time, and Howard was under the basket.
Howard's height and wingspan have an absolute advantage. He is full of confidence at the basket. He believes that he can guard Zhao Chen's ball.
Zhao Chen didn't hesitate at all, collected the ball and took off.
"Zhao Chen's attacking angles were blocked and he had no chance." Zhang Weiping said.
Zhang Weiping also had the same idea as ordinary fans. Zhao Chen's ball was locked.
However, Zhao Chen used an incredible drift in the air, drifting from the right to the left in the air.
Completely getting rid of Harden, taking the ball in the air and moving around.
When Howard was falling, Zhao Chen pushed the ball out!
Howard could only watch Zhao Chen finish playing the game, without any solution.
"knock!"
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Chen's reverse rebound scored! !
11 to 21
After the goal was scored, Zhao Chen also fell to the ground and slid out. This goal showed the limits of his body.
"OMG, super airborne!"
"pretty!!"
"nice shot!!!"
The fans on the field cheered continuously.
Soon, louder cheers came.
It turned out that Howard's serve was directly spotted by Zhao Chen who stood up quickly.
Zhao Chen reached out directly near the baseline to complete the steal.
Zhao Chen didn't hesitate at all. After stealing the ball, he hit the basket.
Howard, who returned to the basket, became angry and said, "Don't even think about attacking again!"
Howard just wanted to push Zhao Chen down.
Zhao Chen couldn't slow down as he rushed forward.
Three seconds zone!
"boom!"
Zhao Chen still had the upper hand on the offensive end.
Zhao Chen took the lead and dunked the ball into the basket!
Judging from the visual effects, Zhao Chen stole Howard's serve and then dunked through Howard! ! !
11 to 23
The impact of the ball was so great that Howard stumbled and fell to the ground! !
The buckle, this is the buckle! !
