Super All-around Point Guard

At this moment, all the fans in the Toyota Center Arena were furious.

Fans can accept the Rockets losing the game, but they absolutely cannot accept the player's ineffective defensive behavior and defensive attitude! And this is not done by role players, it is Harden, the cornerstone of the team!

"What the hell is James Harden doing? Did he wander off to a nightclub the last few seconds?"

"Oh, I can't believe he didn't even reach out, just stared at the opponent the whole time."

When the fans at the scene were puzzled, McHale shook his head helplessly. It is estimated that this shot will be selected into SHAQFOOL, but he does not know how O'Neill will tease Harden at that time. However, at this moment, netizens all over the world have already started ridiculed.

NBA bar, Hupu basketball forum, weibo, all kinds of comment posts about the ball just now poured out in an instant.

"Now I am announcing the official establishment of the Eye Defense Master Support Club, please fans and attention!"

"Harden's eye defense is obviously not well practiced. The ball just now, if the eyes were sharper and more fierce when defending, maybe Xie Chen was defended!"

"Sakuragi Hanamichi's killing people with his eyes was bewitched by the gorilla Takenori Akagi, and Harden's defensive eyes, I guess, was bewitched by Howard. This is the picture I just took. Look, thank you After the morning shot, Howard was actually laughing!"

James Harden on the court felt that he had no face at all. It would be better if he was on the road. At home, facing so many fans who like him, this really made him feel ashamed.

However, after releasing the water, the promise was fulfilled, which made Harden heave a sigh of relief. Next, he no longer has any worries, and he vowed to fight back hard for Xie Chen's actions!

Harden walked towards Xie Chen and said coldly: "This is the end of your performance and your conspiracy! Don't get too complacent, from now on, I will defend you personally, and I will prove to everyone that I am not someone who defends players with eyes !"

Xie Chen smiled, and felt a little embarrassed to see the overwhelming complaints against Harden from the fans, but Harden is also self-inflicted, who asked him to speak rudely in the nightclub first?

Since the defensive performance just now disappointed everyone, Harden's offense was very determined this time, and the ability of the league's No. 1 SG was also fully demonstrated. He made a foul with an accelerated break through the European step layup.

Harden's ability to make layups is really strong. His layup speed is very slow, and he deliberately slows down. When layups, Harden puts all his strength away to keep his body in a state where he can make adjustments at any time. If someone shoots rashly while defending, Harden can easily get a foul. In addition, he is left-handed and has strong upper body strength, making it more difficult to block shots.

Harden made more than 80% of his free throws, but he missed both of these two free throws. This made Harden very annoyed. He wanted to prove himself, but he didn't expect to get a free throw. None scored! This shows how much a person's emotions affect the state of the game.

The fans at the scene also shook their heads, becoming more and more disappointed with the performance of the head star. Today's game is not important, but because both teams have MVP contenders this season, it adds a lot of highlights, and it is also an opportunity for the two to prove themselves. Harden, but the offense is mediocre, and the defense is terrible. The two judged against each other, and anyone could tell that Xie Chen was more qualified to be this year's MVP.

It was the Heat's turn to attack, and the ball was transferred to Xie Chen again. Everyone panicked, thinking that no one could stop Xie Chen, but at this time, the fans were surprised to find that it was James Harden who was defending Xie Chen!

Harden even took the initiative to defend Xie Chen!

Harden concentrated on his defensive posture: "Come on, kid, I will definitely guard you to death this time, in order to repay the laissez-faire I just gave you!"

Xie Chen dribbled the ball easily. Seeing Harden's seriousness, he knew in his heart that Harden must try his best to prove himself after losing face, so he said with a smile: "Then you have to guard against it. I break through very fast. Fast!"

As he said that, Xie Chen's footsteps moved instantly, and Harden followed up quickly, but while Xie Chen was moving, he passed the ball behind his back to Luol Deng.

Playing psychological warfare is Xie Chen's strength. Harden can't wait to compete with Xie Chen to prove his defensive skills and attitude, but Xie Chen just refuses to give him this opportunity. The more anxious Harden is, the more abnormal his performance will be on the court , especially the impact on shooting, will be very large. As long as Harden is in a mess, it will not be difficult to defeat this Rockets.

"In these two rounds, Xie did not attack. It stands to reason that James Harden defended him. He should be very confident."

"This shows that James Harden's defense put pressure on him. I think the defensive eyes just now were just a moment of carelessness. James Harden's defense is still very good. You forgot the last game against the Kings. Cousins, there are two steals in that game!"

The second quarter ended soon, and Xie Chen's score still remained at 26 points. These few rounds have been refrained from playing, just to anger Harden, and now, the Rockets are slowly recovering, and the score is getting better and better. Recently, if you don't make a move, outsiders will think that you are afraid of Harden.

Xie Chen received the ball at a 45-degree angle, dribbled the ball under his crotch, changed direction, accelerated to break through Harden, and took off for a layup. Harden chased after him. Pull it down!

"What a fierce defense! It would be great if I had this attitude when defending against Xie's shots before!"

Although Xie Chen was given two chances to foul, Harden was very happy because he let the fans see his defensive attitude. I am not someone who defends with his eyes!

Xie Chen made 2 free throws and scored 27 points.

Attacking again, Xie Chen caused Harden's foul again. After making two free throws, Xie Chen scored 29 points in the first half! Everyone was exclaiming, is Xie Chen really going to get 60+ in this match?

After being fouled twice by Xie Chen, Harden was replaced by coach McHale. Not long after, Xie Chen was also replaced for a rest, and the score stayed at 29 points.

The Heat led by 6 points at halftime.

In the locker room of the Rockets' home team, coach McHale asked Harden with a rare look of anger: "Can you explain to me that after the fast break in the second quarter failed, you hit the one who made the three-pointer?" What's up with the defense? Why didn't he go up to the defense after he stopped the ball? Why didn't he even interfere when he took the shot?"

James Harden first scolded Xie Chen in his heart, and then said guiltily: "Coach, I'm distracted!"

"Missed? Is your answer that simple?" McHale was obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

"It's that simple!" Harden couldn't find any other excuses.

At this time, Howard stood up and spoke to Harden with a smile: "Coach, after playing so many games, it is normal for this to happen sometimes. Besides, you have also seen Harden's defense afterwards. In order to prevent Xie from fouling, How could he deliberately not defend Xie like this?"

"Yeah, coach, Xie this guy is too insidious. He often takes surprises. The more people think he is going to shoot, he just doesn't shoot. I have been fooled many times!" Beverly also helped Harden talk about it. Talked.

Coach McHale didn't bother with this issue anymore, and then conveyed a task to the whole team: Xie Chen's scoring must be curbed in the second half!

After halftime, Xie Chen was a little excited, because he scored 29 points in the first half. This time Wade was not there, and Bosh was in a normal state. He basically had the ball in his hands. He scored more than ten points in the second half. There is no problem, that is to say, in this game, Xie Chen may reach a new career high!

But in the second half, the Rockets obviously paid more attention to their own defense. They no longer sent Terry, Beverly or Harden to defend themselves, but sent Ariza with tall arms and long arms!

Ariza's height of 2.03 meters basically prevented Xie Chen's chance to shoot three-pointers in singles, and Xie Chen's ability to break through the layup with the ball and make fouls is not as strong as Harden, so Xie Chen's scoring in the second half no longer Crazy like the first half.

Although scoring slowed down, assists and rebounds came up.

Once the Heat attacked, Hassan received a dunk but sent the ball flying. The ball bounced to where Xie Chen and Ariza were, and the two quickly jumped up to grab a rebound.

Harden in the distance saw the physical gap between Ariza and Xie Chen, and expected that Ariza would get the ball 100% of the time, so he stepped forward and made a quick move, and waited for Ariza to receive the ball before reaching out for the ball and then making a quick break Make a dunk from the basket and ignite the atmosphere of the scene!

Harden's wishful thinking was pretty good, but the rebound was beyond everyone's expectations. When Xie Chen grabbed the rebound from Ariza in the air, he pushed Ariza away, and then sent the rebound back to him. Holding it in his arms, he played a no-look pass the moment he landed on the ground, and quickly passed the ball to Hassan under the basket. Hassan didn't miss again this time and dunked successfully.

Harden had already passed halftime, and after Hassan scored, Harden was still there, panicked: "Xie's physical confrontation is stronger than Trevor Ariza! How is this possible?"

Ariza was also very depressed. He lost to a small guy in rebounding and was squeezed away by him in the air. Although Ariza was not strong, he was heavier than Xie Chen anyway. He didn't understand how Xie Chen did it. This is so embarrassing.

Luol Deng, who was bumped by Xie Chen N times for rebounding, was also stunned, and said inwardly: "Xie was able to bump Ariza away! When Xie bumped into me before, he didn't think he was so strong in physical confrontation, could it be? Because I am a teammate, thank you for your efforts? Speaking of which, should I still be grateful to him..."
