Chapter 774: Harden

The wild life goes on, completely oblivious to anything other than possession of the ball.

"Wow! It's really too big. I can't bear it now. I really fall in love with New York!"

But he only dared to yell in his heart, he still had to keep a low profile on such things.

Seeing beauties floating past his eyes, Harden's heart could no longer be suppressed.

The scene comes to the Knicks training facility.

"Li, is it really good to do this?" Although O'Neill thinks that he can do everything he can to his opponent, is it really good to do this?
"I know this is not your usual rule, Shaq, but even without your introduction, do you think he would give up such an opportunity?" Li Tian asked.

O'Neill also knew that if it wasn't for Li Tian's suppression and setting an example for the young people in the team, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.Of course, there is another most important reason. If he really dared to do this, he would probably no longer be with the Knicks by now, and Li Tian would try his best to drive him out of the team.

"Well, that's right, it's just that." He looked like he was hesitating to speak, just like the image of a holy mother.

"Everything is for the championship!" No more words.

The current series is 1:1, and both teams are busy preparing for the G3 game.

Knicks fans have already started shouting "Win the championship at home!"

The performance of the home team has made them think that the Knicks are now unbeatable.

Two days later, the finals G3 officially started in New York.

The Knicks also received good news. Lowry could finally appear. However, for safety reasons, D'Antoni decided to let Lowry play as a substitute. He did not want to destroy the current team's chemical reaction.

Jeremy Lin performed well in the few games he played. Although the defensive effect against Westbrook in the last game was average, it was the team's arrangement and had nothing to do with him. After all, Westbrook still blocked 3 shots for Yao Ming. The strategy didn't change, just because the opponent was in such good shape.

"Coach Zhang, what do you think the Thunder need to do if they want to win the game?" Yang Yi asked. The Thunder are already what they consider a 'weak team' and they need to give them some advice.

"Haha, if the Thunder want to win, they need to do three things. First, they must limit Li Tian's performance, and at the same time cut off the connection between him and Yao Ming. This is very important;

Second: They must continue to maintain the feel they had in the last game, especially the three-point touch. Westbrook's three-pointer in the last game disrupted the Knicks' defense and was one of the keys to their win;

Third: Someone needs to step up from the bench. In the last game, it was Harden's super performance and 28 points that helped the team win.

Everyone knows that basketball is a team sport. It is impossible for the starters to play 48 minutes in every game. They need substitutes to share their worries and solve their problems. Harden did this very well in the last game. "Director Zhang gave three opinions. He believes that if two of them can be achieved, the Thunder will have great hope of winning. If all three can be achieved, it may lead to a big victory.

As soon as the game started, Coach Zhang's suggestion could no longer be completed. Li Tian broke through and passed the ball to Yao Ming inside for a dunk.

The smooth completion of the internal and external connections made the defensive strategy that Brooks had previously deployed disappear into thin air.

As Durant has grown up, his skills have become more mature, and Li Tian can only limit himself. He cannot lock down the opponent like he did when he first entered the league. Now he really can't do this.

While talking, Durant misplaced the ball in singles against the Arab League, dribbled the ball continuously under his hips, suddenly stepped back, and shot a three-pointer.

Arab Lian tried his best to defend, but still failed to interfere with Durant's shot and hit a three-pointer!
At 18:20, the Thunder narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

But in basketball, you are not the only one who can attack, others can do the same.

I saw Li Tian getting the ball from Jeremy Lin and walking in front of Durant.

"Your three-point shot is very good, but it's still a bit weak. Study hard!"

The words fell, the same action, the same way of shooting, but at the moment of shooting, Li Tian stopped. He was not in a hurry to shoot, but waited for Durant to come up to defend.

"FUCK! It's too insidious, he's cheating for a foul." Durant cursed, and he realized that if the defensive line he pounced on didn't change, the foul would be certain.

"What are you doing? Take action quickly. That ugly man's defense is coming soon." The fans' palms were already sweating.

"Bang!" Durant felt that he could no longer change his route, so he could only increase the force of the foul and slap Li Tian on the right elbow.

When he felt the power coming, Li Tian took action decisively. At the moment of taking action, the referee whistle sounded.

"Whoa!" After landing firmly, the basketball hit the net.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" the fans shouted excitedly. This is really exciting. If you shoot a three-pointer, I will give you a 3+1. It is really exciting.

"Did you see that? This is the most correct way to shoot a three-pointer." He looked at Durant coldly.

The extra free throw was made, and the score difference came to 6 points.

It's rotation time. "Harden, the rest is up to you." Brooks patted Harden's shoulder. There was no other way. The dark circles under his eyes had to be seen with a magnifying glass, otherwise they really couldn't be distinguished.

"Damn, what is he doing?" Brooks saw Harden's performance after he came on the stage. He couldn't help but cover his eyes. It was really too hot to look at.

After Harden came on the court, the first time he took possession of the ball, it hit his own foot. As he was about to cross half court, he didn't even notice that the basketball went out of the sideline.

"Hey, how could Harden's condition be so bad? I hope it just happened by chance." Yang Yi said with a smile, thinking, it's better if you keep making mistakes like this, then the Knicks can defend the title, and Dayao and Arab League can wear it. Championship ring.

Lowry leads the bench, and Jordan can finally take off. In the past, he and Arab League were often on the bench. This time Lowry came to the bench, and D'Antoni arranged for Arab League to take a rest to see the effect of this lineup. how.

"Bang!" Lowry assisted Jordan with an alley-oop dunk.

"Bang!" Harden shook his head and dribbled the ball out of bounds again.

"FUCK!" Brooks's roar did not disappear. This was already his second mistake.

"Bang!" Jordan took off again, received an assist from George, and scored a dunk.

Seeing that the score had reached 10 points, the Thunder generals were anxious.

"Coach, let me go!" Looking at the final attack in the first quarter, Durant hoped that he could play and enter the second quarter with a single-digit point difference. Then his mentality would be different from now.

"Wait and see how Harden performs next. You can rest for a while." Brooks said. He could see that Durant was still a little tired.

Fisher served from the baseline, and Harden was about to catch the ball when he suddenly froze. The basketball did not come to his hands. He was surprised. What on earth was going on? Is the air resistance so great?

The video replayed forward to a few seconds ago. After Jordan scored with a dunk, Beverley did not rush back to defend. Instead, he hid near the bench. They were all Knicks players. Who can remember who was on the sidelines and who? On the field.

The moment Fisher released the ball, Beverley moved, extremely fast, and rushed out from the bottom corner to complete the steal.

Harden and Fisher, who were not looking at each other in surprise, succeeded in a layup.

"Great!" O'Neal stood up and waved the towel. In the finals, he only played 10 minutes in total. Mostly, Jordan would play him when he was in danger of fouling. There was no way, O'Neal's The decline in status is too serious.

Although he had a double-double performance in the previous series, it was really a once-in-a-millennium experience. Now, he has started Thackeray's task in advance, which is to wave the towel.

"You bastard, what happened to him today?" Brooks couldn't calm down anymore. This was not the first time he made a mistake. He made three mistakes in the first quarter. How could he bear this?
The Thunder failed to score in their last attack.

When Harden returned to the sideline, he was glared at by all his teammates, and the head coach also verbally criticized him.

"High, no, I can only call it sinister. I finally know why the Lakers, who were originally a bit dangerous, won the championship that year in 08."

O'Neal really admired it. Li Tianzhen did whatever it takes to win. In order to understand all this, he lowered his posture, dialed Kobe's phone, and asked about how the Lakers played against the Celtics in the finals.

Only then did he really understand what Li Tian was hiding, which made him wonder if the Knicks' record ranking fourth this season was due to his deliberate manipulation.

Rose's injury can be said to be an accidental phenomenon, but he also knows that among the four teams in the upper half of the Eastern Conference, the Bulls are the easiest to beat, while the Heat and Nets are not so easy to compete with.

O'Neill deeply felt the application of Li Tian's strategy.

"Hey, did you call Kobe?" Li Tian understood everything. If he hadn't called Kobe or Phil, he wouldn't have known all of this.

"Well, he took the initiative to call me about this and that."

O'Neill chirped and replied.

Although he knew all this, Li Tian didn't try to point it out because it didn't make any sense.

The game continued, and the Thunder team's control of the ball came into Fisher's hands, while Harden switched to running without the ball.Although mistakes are basically eliminated, Harden, who is in poor condition, has a horribly low shooting percentage.

The sound of "bang bang bang" was originally intended to be a substitute for plastic surgery, and the team was able to tie the score or even overtake, but now instead of shrinking, it was pulled bigger and bigger.

Looking at the 12-point difference, Brooks only played 1 minute as a substitute in the second quarter before hurriedly replacing Durant and Westbrook back on the court.

Harden began to sit on the bench. Seeing the Thunder's substitutions, D'Antoni was a little disappointed, but there was no special performance. After all, if he was in such a bad state and continued to stay on the court, the coach would really pull him out and shoot him for 10 minutes.

"Hey, there is still no overtake." The poor Thunder fans were still a little disappointed. The team failed to complete the overtake, and the 10-point difference remained until the end of the game.

"Let us congratulate the Knicks. They won another game back at home." Director Zhang said excitedly.

He knows that all this is due to Harden's weakness. Harden only scored 6 points in this game, which is naturally different from the 28 points in the previous game.
