"James Harden responded to Zhao Chen's dunk. It seems that Zhao Chen's dunk on the backboard did not affect him."
"This kind of game is exciting."
Barkley shouted to Smith.
Lakers offense.
The pick-and-roll between Zhao Chen and Ah Lian.
Ah Lian helped Zhao Chen block Beverley, and Zhao Chen broke through. Beverley bypassed Ah Lian and flanked Zhao Chen with Beasley inside.
Zhao Chen passed the ball back without looking at anyone and passed it to Ah Lian outside the three-point line.
Ah Lian received the ball, and the front position was absolutely open. After a slight adjustment, Ah Lian made a three-point shot! !
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.
4 to 7
"Yi Jianlian is playing more confidently than before, and his long-range shooting percentage is also more stable."
"Yes, the Rockets underestimated his shooting, and he made the Rockets pay the price."
Zhao Chen turned around and high-fived Ah Lian to celebrate.
Zhao Chen feels that Ah Lian is definitely stronger now than at this time in his previous life.
After coming to the Lakers, Ah Lian's three-point shooting ability has been developed. This season, the average three-point shooting percentage per game is as high as 38%. As long as there is an open space, he has a strong ability to grasp it. This three-pointer also makes Ah Lian The Lakers gradually secured their rotation position.
It seems that bringing members of the national team to the NBA can indeed make progress.
Zhao Chen wondered whether to bring more players out so that he would not have to fight alone in the future.
Rockets offense.
It's still Harden who holds the ball from the outside and initiates the offense.
The Rockets' offensive tactics are very similar to those of the Lakers. The superstar drives the younger players to attack.
The Rockets' tactic most of the time is to spread out the entire team and watch Harden make random plays!
Harden changed direction on the outside and passed Kobe's defense, holding the ball into the three-point line, leaning against the Arab League and preparing to take three steps.
Zhao Chen's help came quickly. Harden immediately threw the ball out after seeing Zhao Chen coming.
The original intention of this throw was to avoid Zhao Chen.
Harden showed off his good touch.
6 to 7.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Kobe, and then he entered the inside again.
Kobe gave the ball to Tucker, Tucker gave it to Ah Lian, and Ah Lian gave it to Zhao Chen again.
Zhao Chen caught the ball and turned around and passed Beasley. Then he paused in front of the three-second zone. After picking up Beasley and Howard, who was assisting in defense, he adjusted his steps and dunked with one arm in the air.
Although Zhao Chen is an outside player, his fantastic footsteps and inside skills are also 6.
6 to 9.
The game between the two sides was back-and-forth. Harden was in good condition and could score goals in any difficult way.
The first quarter soon came to rotation time, and the Lakers still held a 3-point lead.
Kobe was replaced by Booker, UAE was replaced by Harrell, Tucker was replaced by Harris, and the Lakers played a small lineup.
"Devin, your purpose here is to entangle Harden and consume him." Scott gave Booker a defensive task.
Harden was in great shape tonight, drawing fouls on Lakers players.
Zhao Chen also had a foul on his body, and Scott did not dare to rashly let Zhao Chen defend Harden.
If Zhao Chen's foul count increases too quickly, it will be very difficult for the Lakers.
Pause back.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen and Harrell played a pick-and-roll. After attracting the defense, Zhao Chen hit the ball to the ground and sent it to Harrell. Harrell caught the ball and performed an aerial show to avoid Howard's block and score the ball.
Although Harrell is not tall, his inside finishing ability is top-notch. Even a defensive center like Howard has difficulty blocking him.
Rockets offense.
Harden slowly brought the ball across half court.
Booker quickly went over to press Harden.
However, Booker is too fast.
"boom!"
Harden saw Booker coming, and he immediately took the ball and took the initiative to meet him. Then he used the force to bump into Booker and then fell to the ground and threw the ball!
What a shameless foul!
But "Beep beep!"
The referee just blew it.
The current league has no rules and regulations on playing porcelain, and Harden is very comfortable in this aspect.
Booker suffered a direct loss.
Harden stood on the free throw line and made all three free throws! !
After making the free throw, Harden shouted to Zhao Chen: "You have to defend him, no one else can."
Harden looks down on other Lakers players except Zhao Chen.
"I'll guard him later." Zhao Chen shouted to Booker.
Harden was too arrogant and committed fouls one after another. Zhao Chen couldn't help it.
Booker nodded and wiped his sweat. He felt uncomfortable playing against Harden.
Lakers offense.
At the top of the right arc, Zhao Chen saw Harden's single defense, and Zhao Chen signaled to open up the space.
The Lakers players opened up the space and watched Zhao Chen perform.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Almost similar to Harden's continuous hip dribbling, Harden has been following Zhao Chen's rhythm.
left!
right!
Zhao Chen suddenly took a step to the right and pulled back urgently.
Harden was fooled and rushed over. Zhao Chen took the ball and turned sideways to meet him.
Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body!
Zhao Chen can also commit fouls, but he usually doesn't use such disgusting moves.
"Beep!"
Zhao Chen's shot was wild, but the referee also gave three free throws.
"You're not the only one who can commit fouls." Zhao Chen hit back at Harden.
Zhao Chen stood on the free throw line and made three solid free throws, widening the point difference again.
Rockets offense.
Harden dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Zhao Chen's single defense.
Scott didn't have any guidance on Zhao Chen's single defense...
Harden signaled his teammates to open up space, and he wanted to single out Zhao Chen.
Harden is becoming more and more confident on the offensive end. He believes that after he masters the skills of drawing fouls, even Zhao Chen cannot guard him.
Harden changed direction and rushed to Zhao Chen's left side. Zhao Chen immediately moved sideways to block Harden.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Harden used his strength to bump into Zhao Chen, and then continued to retreat.
Zhao Chen's restrictions on Harden were very tight, which made Harden feel uncomfortable.
Harden feels that no matter how sudden he is, Zhao Chen can keep up with his rhythm.
Harden reluctantly took a step back and took a step beyond the three-point line. He was not preparing to force the shot, but was preparing to commit a foul when Zhao Chen pounced on him.
But the difference between Zhao Chen and other players is that Zhao Chen reacts extremely quickly and has extremely strong body control.
Zhao Chen realized Harden's intention. Although he pounced on it, he controlled his body. Harden took the initiative to hold the ball and came towards him. Zhao Chen dodged sideways.
Harden didn't hit anyone and pushed the ball directly. The ball was completely untouched.
"Beep!!" The referee blew the whistle, but it indicated that the ball was out of bounds and the Lakers had the ball.
"Your touch is like a clown. I'll teach you later." Zhao Chen spat trash talk at Harden.
Harden ignored Zhao Chen's words and thought about countermeasures.
Lakers offense.
It's still one-on-one with the frontcourt wide open.
Facing Harden, Zhao Chen started dribbling frequently with his underhand.
Zhao Chen's dribbling was exposed in front of Harden.
Very naked...
Seems to be tempting Harden to do something.
Harden stretched out his right hand to try to steal the ball.
Watch the hand of sin coming.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly, Zhao Chen held the ball with both hands and directly jammed Harden's hand, and shot up for a three-pointer! ! !
Zhao Chen's movement was very awkward, and the referee caught it accurately.
"Beep!!!"
The referee called Harden's foul.
Harden looked at the referee in disbelief: "He was the one who came to grab my hand."
The referee said: "You violated his cylinder."
Harden: "What the hell is this cylinder like?"
Referee: "Don't you know best?"
Harden was speechless....
Booker clapped and laughed beside him!
The referee also appreciated the way Zhao Chen taught Harden a lesson.
The fans at Staples Center also laughed.
Some time ago, Harden caused a lot of anger when he committed a foul. Many fans criticized Harden but there was nothing they could do about Harden.
Now seeing Harden being so favored by Zhao Chen, everyone feels very happy.
"Haha, someone finally came to clean up Peng Ci Deng."
"Zhao Chen is awesome, educating Harden in Harden's way."
"incredible!!"
Domestic fans are also excited.
Zhao Chen shrugged at Harden and stood on the free throw line with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-huh!"
...
...
The first quarter ended quickly, with the score fixed at 30-38.
The Lakers have an 8-point lead at home!
