NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 296 Great Victory over the Rockets, Continue to Lead

In the second half of the game, Wang Feng still stared at Harden the whole time. Whenever Harden came on the court, he would follow him.

Facts have proved that such tactics are correct.

This season, the Rockets have become more and more dependent on Harden's offense. If Harden can't score, the Rockets' offensive rhythm will be seriously hindered.

As long as Harden can be killed, the Rockets will have no resistance.

If this trick is used on the Warriors, whether it is double-teaming Curry or Durant, the other of the two can use offense to make the double-team doubt their lives.

Even against James, it is very average. First of all, James does not call for pick-and-rolls as frequently as Harden, and the timing of double-teaming is not easy to choose. Can also pass the ball before being pressed.

Harden can't do this, which is one of the reasons why he always pulls his hips at critical moments in the playoffs.

In the third quarter, Wang Feng took fewer shots and only scored 7 points, raising his personal score to 36 points. Harden, accompanied by Wang Feng, only scored 4 points.

After the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams has reached nearly 30 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, D'Antoni no longer wanted to struggle, replaced the main lineup, and came off the bench.

Seeing this situation, Walton of the Lakers also replaced the substitute lineup, but before leaving the field, Wang Feng made two more three-pointers and scored 6 points, bringing his personal score to 42 points.

The behavior of scoring points in garbage time is more or less unethical, but how can Wang Feng, who is bound to win the scoring king, care about you?
128: 100.

This is the final score of the two teams at the end of the game.

The Lakers beat the Rockets by 28 points in the away game and won a big victory!

Not only did the Lakers win this game, but Wang Feng also won.

Wang Feng scored 42 points and managed to limit Harden's scoring to 14 points.

Harden was depressing enough in this game. He was double-teamed as soon as he called for a pick-and-roll. After getting anxious, he started to single-play Wang Feng, but he still couldn't score under Wang Feng's defense. He was beaten by Wang Feng's various defensive shots. , It can be described as losing and losing.

Originally, the Rockets had a poor record this season, but Harden's personal scoring ability showed an explosive state, which made many people feel that regardless of defense, Harden is comparable to Wang Feng in terms of offensive ability alone. Discussed.

"The Lakers beat the Rockets by 28 points and avenged their revenge at the beginning of the season. Butler's joining has indeed brought about a qualitative change in the Lakers' lineup, but it is clear that Wang Feng's strong performance is the direct reason why the Lakers are so good now." !"

"So far in the regular season, the Rockets' record is less than 50%, and they are only ranked 12th in the Western Conference. If the team does not adjust as soon as possible, it is very likely that they will not be able to enter the playoffs in the highly competitive Western Conference. If this is the case, The Rockets may become the first team to win more than 65 games in the regular season last season and miss the playoffs in the new season without significant changes to the core team."

As for whether the Rockets can participate in the playoffs, Wang Feng thinks there is not much suspense.

Harden's real explosion was in January. If nothing else, he would average 1 points, 43.6 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game. In February, Harden could still maintain 7.6 points. With his super scoring ability, Single-handedly brought the Rockets into the playoffs.

This is why Wang Feng cares about suppressing Harden's performance in this game.

Harden's performance in the back is indeed too exaggerated. Even Wang Feng is not sure that he can surpass the opponent, and he might be snatched away if he is not careful.

If the Lakers played against the Rockets every game in January and February, Wang Feng would not be worried and let him guard Harden. He is confident that Harden's scoring average will be kept below 1 points per game.

But the problem is that the Lakers and Rockets only have 2 chances to play against each other in the regular season, so every opportunity to lower Harden's scoring average must be seized.

……

After the Lakers defeated the Rockets in the away game, they ushered in a wave of consecutive away games, playing back-to-back away games against the Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets.

The three teams are all Eastern teams. The long-distance travel, fatigue, and consecutive back-to-backs made the Lakers exhausted. Although they successfully defeated the Hornets and Wizards 115:107 and 109:102 respectively, in the last away game Facing the Brooklyn Nets, they still couldn't survive and lost the game 110:114.

The Lakers, who lost an away game, returned to Los Angeles and finally had three days of rest. After recharging their batteries, the Lakers immediately defeated the New Orleans Pelicans at home 112:104 to defend their home victory.

On December 12, the Lakers played against the Memphis Grizzlies at home and won another victory.

So far, the Lakers have achieved 33 wins and 27 losses in 6 games, leading the league, even leaving other teams far behind.

Currently ranked second in the league is the Toronto Raptors in the East with a record of 23 wins and 8 losses.

The third and fourth places are the Golden State Warriors with 23 wins and 11 losses and the Milwaukee Bucks with 22 wins and 10 losses.

Who would have thought of such a result before the start of the regular season?

The Golden State Warriors, with five All-Stars, can only rank third in the record list, and their performance is not even as good as last season.

Originally, Cousins ​​joined the Warriors with an ultra-low-cost contract of 500 million, which made the whole league think that the finale had arrived ahead of schedule. Who would have thought that the Warriors with such a strong lineup would struggle so much in the new season?
Cousins ​​was injured and stopped, obviously not fully recovered from the injury. At the same time, the team's defensive core Drummond Green's athletic level did not advance but retreated, and his scoring average dropped to about 7 points per game. , The three-point shooting rate has dropped to a horrendous 28%. Now he is standing in the top arc and no one steps forward to defend him, which has completely become a burden on the offensive end.

If it weren't for the fact that he can still shine on the defensive end, his role on the court is completely negative.

The situation of the Warriors is very bad, but even so, they are still the biggest favorites to win the championship. In the sports lottery's NBA championship odds list, they have always been at the top of the list, even far exceeding other competitors.

Obviously, the strong lineup of the Warriors makes everyone think that even if their condition is not good, they will still show strong dominance against other teams, especially after entering the playoffs.

In this case, the Lakers finally met the Warriors.

December 12th, Christmas.

The NBA's traditional entertainment Christmas game, the league's arrangement this year is the Warriors VS Lakers.
