NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 959

979 Bearded Golfer's Explosion

Since Irving came to the US team for training, he has never had a good impression of Popovich.

He always felt that this coach seemed to have been biased against him.

But he never expected that the coach who knew him best turned out to be this coach.

So he secretly made up his mind that he must make up for the difference after playing.

Then Mr. Bo turned his head to look at Harden at the end of the bench.

At this time, Harden's fists were clenched, and the joints of the fists were already white.

However, his breathing was very rapid, even a little suffocating.

The old man came to Harden and put his hand on Harden's shoulder.

"James Harden, if you want to break out of yourself, if you want to break out of your shadow, today is your chance."

James Harden was taken aback.

He looked up at the old man with silver hair and beard in surprise.

He didn't tell anyone about the psychological shadow left by his asthma.

Only a very few people know.

Because he is afraid that if the opponent knows, this will become a breakthrough for the opponent to attack him.

So even though he has endured so many grievances in these years, he has never said the reason why he always loses the chain at critical moments.

But he didn't expect Mr. Bo to know this.

What he didn't expect was that the old man knew that he had such a psychological shadow, and at this critical moment when the US team needed to score, he would actually send him on the field.

This made Harden feel a little teary for a while.

He looked at the old man with silver hair and beard, and his own beard wobbled a little.

He stood up slowly, did not speak, just nodded heavily to Popovich.

Then the old man looked at Ayton again: "Ayton, you just became our American citizen last year, right?"

Ayton nodded: "Yes."

Mr. Guo said: "Now is the time for you to prove your loyalty to the United States."

Ayton also stood up when he heard the words, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily: "I understand the coach."

Since he came to play in the NBA, he has always dreamed of becoming an American citizen and embracing this free country.

Last year, he finally became an American citizen, but what he didn't expect was that the Americans didn't seem to recognize him as a new member at all.

Even when you go to many places, you will be laughed at by many native Americans.

At the same time, he was ridiculed and abused by the people of the Bahamas.

It was impossible for him to return to the Bahamas.

So the only way for him now is to achieve results, to make himself a superstar, and to be liked by Americans.

Especially the opportunity to play for the United States in the Olympics, he naturally wants to seize it.

With these three, the head coach matched them with Tang Shen and Green.

Among these 5 people, Harden is also a 75 superstar.

Owen also has the strength of the 75th National Congress, but he was expelled from the 75th National Congress because of his nagging.

This is the strength of the American lineup.

It is unmatched by other countries to bring out 5 people at random.

After playing, the Huaxia team attacked.

Wang Yi made a three-pointer this time, but failed to hit it.

This was his first miss of the game.

On the U.S. side, Ayton struggled to get the rebound and then passed it to Green.

As a power forward, Green actually dribbled the ball across the halfcourt—although Green is dirty in playing and sometimes uses some dirty moves, but as a power forward, this guy even sometimes acts as a center. , was able to dribble across half court during a fast break.

This is an ability that other power forwards and centers simply cannot possess.

And he doesn't just dribble across the court.

During the dribble, he kept an eye on the movement of all his teammates while analyzing the opponent's defense.

Then came a beautiful assist.

Can you believe that a power forward can advance with the ball and send a wonderful pass in the fast break like a point guard?
That's what he did at this time.

As soon as he dribbled the ball to half court, he saw that Harden had already run to the right side of the front court.

He made a direct long-distance ground pass.

This pass was not passed directly to Harden, but directly to the basket.

When the ball reaches the basket, Harden has also accelerated to the basket.

People arrive at the ball!

In other words, the ball leads people to run.

This is Green's ability.

After Harden got the ball, he saw that Wang Zhelin was about to block the shot, and after pulling the bar in the air, he scored with a hook.

Looking back, the US team double-teamed Wang Yi in the backcourt.

Wang Yi passed the ball to Guo Ailun.

Guo Ailun saw that there were only three people defending in front.

This is a good opportunity for the Huaxia team to play 4-on-3 in the frontcourt.

So he dribbled towards the inside and broke through.

It's just that Tang Shen was stuck in his position when dribbling. He couldn't complete the breakthrough, so he could only pull it out, and passed the ball to Wang Zhelin after his teammates returned to the frontcourt.

At this time, Harden, who hurried back to defend, was behind Wang Zhelin.

Harden is 1 meters tall and weighs 96 kilograms.

Wang Zhelin is 2 meters 14 and weighs 110 kg.

Normally speaking, Harden's defense against Wang Zhelin would definitely be abused easily.

However, when Wang Zhelin was sitting and beating in, he found that he couldn't lean on Harden at all with every step he took.

He leaned in two steps in a row, Harden remained motionless.

He can only choose to turn around and shoot.

However, it was also because the two steps he relied on before did not move, which affected his confidence a little, and this time the shot missed the basket.

This is Harden's low post defense ability.

Don't think he can't guard power forwards and centers because he's a guard.

With his 100 kg weight and very strong upper and lower body strength, ordinary power forwards and centers really can't stand him.

Looking back, the US team attacked again.

This time after Irving dribbled to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Harden.

Facing Wang Yi's single defense, Harden kept turning the ball around his right leg to change direction.

Looking for rhythm.

After circling 5 times in a row, he suddenly dribbled the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough step by step.

Wang Yi immediately took a step back.

Harden pulled the ball back with his right hand.

Utilize his signature step-back to get out of the three-point line.

Raising your hand is a three-pointer.

Although Wang Yi's personal defensive ability is very strong, he can't defend every ball.

The basketball went over his head and pierced the net behind him.

Harden scored 5 points in a row.

The point difference was narrowed to 10 points.

Coach Du Feng is very careful when facing the US team.

He quickly replaced Wang Zhelin and replaced all the starting players on the field.

However, even if he replaced all the main players on the court, he still couldn't resist a Harden who had a touch.

Because of Harden's touch, Wang Yi was pushed very forward, and at this time Harden used his rhythm to sway Wang Yi to break through.

Green followed the air cut knowingly on the other side.

Harden throws the ball to the backboard.

Green jumped up, caught the bounced ball in the air, and smashed it into the basket in one fell swoop.
