At the beginning of the second half, both sides sent out their starting lineups.
Mosaic attack.
Harden controlled the outside, while Anthony came to the basket and partnered with Nurkic to restrain Wang Zelin close to the basket, thus freeing up the outside.
Although Nurkic has not shown any three-point ability in the past two seasons, in fact, this guy later proved that he is capable of practicing three-pointers, and he seems to be practicing pretty well, the best. The identity hit rate reached 40% in a season.
After joining the Mosaic team led by D'Antoni, a proponent of the Magic Ball concept, a three-point maniac, and a master of offensive tactics, Nurkic was naturally asked to shoot three-pointers.
Don't tell me, now Wang Zelin really doesn't dare to let Nurkic take an open shot, not to mention there is Anthony next to him.
As a result, the Mosaic team gradually became active on the outside and began to run frequently.
Tieza ran on the left wing and got around with the help of Capela's screen.
After Anthony arrived, Tiezha was assigned to play the second position, while Harden directly played the first position.
One thing you have to admit is that as long as D'Antoni is given a good number one position, if nothing else, at least as far as the regular season is concerned, he is definitely capable of running a team around easily and can even help the ball. The team achieved quite good results.
The number one position he is being trained by now is not only good, but also the bearded Harden, who was later hailed as the strongest combo guard in NBA history!
Relying on the amazing performance of 14 assists per game in the past week, Harden's assists per game this season have reached 12.5, surpassing Rondo, Westbrook, Lillard and other players, and jumping to the active assist list. Top of the list.
At the same time, he is also the only player to average 12 assists per game this season, and is now regarded by many media as the favorite to win the assists title in the new season.
During this season, many media are still worried about the question "Is one ball enough for Harden and Anthony to score when they play together?"
After all, Anthony had worked with another super scorer, Allen Iverson, earlier when they were connected. At that time, the two formed a Nuggets double-gun with quite explosive offensive firepower.
Unfortunately, it later turned out that basketball is not something that two musketeers can play.
Who would have thought that the arrival of another super scorer not only prevented the Mosaic team from having a ball crisis, but also allowed Harden to completely unleash his organizational talents.
It's not that Harden never played the No. 1 position last season, but it was only for a short period of time, and it was not changed to a real main role.
Now, with his astounding performance of 12.5 assists per game, Harden has proven that he can not only play the second position well, but also the first position.
Take this ball as an example. The moment Tiezha came out, Harden had already passed the ball.
And when Tie Zha reached beyond the three-point line and stretched out his hand, the ball had already been passed to his hands.
The ball has arrived!
Harden's shot was just right. After Tiezha caught the ball, he was unguarded three meters away, leaving a completely open opportunity.
Tiezha caught the ball, glanced at it, then jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
His height and wingspan are better than Button's. After all, he was regarded by the Mosaic team as McGrady's successor. His shot height is quite powerful. Button chased after him and jumped to defend, but he still failed to cause much interference.
But at this moment, Wang Zelin from the basket arrived in two steps, jumped directly two meters away from Tiezha, slapped his palm in the air, and grabbed the ball he had just thrown.
Tie Zha was a little confused, and Harden at the top of the arc was also confused. Can he be guarded from such a distance? Are you kidding me?
But Wang Zelin immediately accelerated his speed. He had no interest in talking trash to Tie Zha. The gap between the units of both sides was too big. Talking too much was just nonsense. He would only use one terrifying defense to let these opponents know that pioneering It is not easy to establish a dynasty.
If you want to challenge the Trail Blazers, you still have a long way to go!
Harden reacted and chased Wang Zelin desperately.
Sometimes, environment can really change a person!
After Harden was humiliated by Detonator and joined Space City in the original time and space, he quickly grew into the number one shooting guard in active duty and led the Mosaic team to become the league's top powerhouse.
In the West, the Mosaic team is second only to the Universe.
One thing to say is that Harden's mental attributes have never been very strong. After becoming famous in the Aerospace City, his mentality quickly slackened, and his body management deteriorated year by year.
If it were Harden from the original time and space, let alone quickly return to defense at this time, he would probably be too lazy to move, and would most likely only contribute to defense with his eyes.
However, Harden's personal strength has indeed grown rapidly in this time and space, but in terms of team record, he has led the Mosaic team to yet fail to break through the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The key teams in the Western Conference are gathered together, with only the Trail Blazers and Warriors far ahead. There are also the Spurs and Lakers in the same rank, and the Thunder, Grizzlies, and Jazz are also eyeing behind them...
Previously, even if Harden was briefly addicted to the temptation of Kardashian's huge butt, he still quickly completed the 13-break defense. Now in the wild west of crazy involution, he has to follow the forced involution. Volume to keep yourself and Mosaic competitive.
At present, Harden's body management is not only better than the first two seasons after joining the Mosaic team, but he is even a bit back to the time when he was a young talent in the Thunder.
You know, Big Beard entered the league as the third overall pick in the draft, and his physical fitness and talent even surpassed that of his second brother Westbrook. He contributed many wonderful scenes of violent attacks and dunks back then.
Therefore, when Wang Zelin discovered that Harden had actually caught up with him, he was surprised.
Damn it!
Is this still the bearded man he remembers?
When did that fat boy jump so fast!
But then Wang Zelin's eyes lit up. In the past few years, he had dunked on countless stars in the league, especially the inside stars. Every one of them counted, and he put them on the background of anyone who was somewhat famous.
However, it seems that he has never dunked on this bearded man before!
hey-hey……
When he saw Harden's eyes, he became even more attentive: Little Deng Deng, hurry up and get into the bowl.
On Harden's side, he didn't realize that the danger was coming quietly.
He caught up with Wang Zelin in the middle line and wanted to steal, but he found that he couldn't steal the ball because Wang Zelin controlled the ball with his left hand.
So Harden accelerated and overtook, rushed to the basket in advance, trying to slow down Wang Zelin so that Ariza on the other side could come over to help double-team.
Wang Zelin saw Harden suddenly appearing in front of him. Not only did he not slow down, but he immediately accelerated. With a bang, he directly knocked Harden away. With his amazing wingspan, he put the ball into the basket before landing.
Harden, who was flying in the air, felt like he had been in a car accident. As soon as he had this idea, he heard a bang and fell heavily to the floor.
Since then, Wang Zelin has added another heavyweight player to his career background version!
