One Thousand and Seventy-One: Worry in Good Times

"Fuck, what are you trying to prevent!"

Draymond Green, who was watching TV at home, couldn't help but cursed. As soon as the Rockets came up, Harrell dunked easily, which disappointed him.

This is the first time this season that Green is watching a game at home that has nothing to do with him. He hopes to witness the whole process of the Grizzlies' 25-game winning streak being broken, instead of watching the Grizzlies abuse them!

I thought the Rockets would give the Grizzlies a taste of their power, but the Grizzlies took the lead and gave the Rockets a heavy blow.

But in fact, the Rockets actually want to take the lead. But there was nothing I could do about it, Anderson was like a classic car in front of Harrell, unable to run at all.

Basically, Harrell threw Anderson away as soon as he started.

It's not that the Rockets don't work hard, it's that the gap is too big!

Green thought Harrell was the stupid young man who couldn't do anything in the Western Conference finals last season, but that's no longer the case.

This season, Harrell's finishing rate after pick-and-roll shots is among the best in the entire league.

His offense is much better than that of Capela and other rough guys.

Although Harrell has excellent physical fitness, his offense is mainly about eating cakes. But in fact, Harrell is skilled.

After cutting to the basket, he doesn't just rely on brute force. This season, Harrell is even focusing on training his ball-handling offense and post-up singles.

These are things that players who simply rely on pie do not have.

After cutting to the basket, Harrell can score in a variety of situations.

Joger knew that Ryan Anderson was slow to move and protect the rim, so he took the right medicine.

Rather than letting Jokic fight Anderson inch by inch in the paint, it would be faster and more efficient to let Harrell play pick-and-rolls.

Tobias Harris is of course also a good choice, but Harris's efficiency in rushing the frame is not as high as Harrell's.

Therefore, Harrell was not a false starter from the beginning. He was sent up and had a huge tactical effect.

The Rockets' insiders do not have a disadvantage in terms of height, but in terms of speed, that is not necessarily the case.

D'Antoni is proud of,

The inside line, which is stronger than the Warriors, may not actually be as strong as he imagined.

Harrell scored first, and the Rockets were hit hard. But this is a basketball game after all, and no team will surrender just because the opponent scores a goal.

D'Antoni signaled Harden to stick to the tactics. He believed that after the lessons learned from the previous round, Harden's passing would no longer be so casual.

As a result, the pick-and-roll between Harden and Capela started again outside the three-point line.

After this pick-and-roll, Harden specifically observed Link's position. After discovering that Link had indeed pounced on him, he hit the ball to the ground and delivered it to Capela.

This time, Capela successfully caught the basketball and walked to the basket.

But unlike Harrell who easily attacks empty baskets, Gasol has been deliberately hiding in the penalty area when the opponent picks and rolls, just waiting for Capela!

Centers from other teams would not dare to retreat to the basket when defending against Harden's pick-and-roll. If you don't come up and delay for a while, Harden can take action immediately.

But in the Grizzlies, Link's outstanding defensive ability alleviated this problem.

Of course, Link can't escape the screen in time and appear in front of Harden every time. But he has a higher probability of successfully defending than anyone else.

Capela faced Gasol, and he did not have the strong back-up and basket offensive skills to support him.

In the end, Capela could only use his brute strength to push Gasol forward.

The result is obvious, Capela's layup did not hit.

Gasol's defensive ability in the low post is stronger than it looks on the surface!

"Damn, what the hell are you playing!" Green complained again. He really wanted to get a Rockets jersey and put it on himself.

D'Antoni on the sidelines also shook his head secretly. Today's game was not going well from the beginning!

Is this the strength of being number one in the league? ?

This time, Link still chose to use the pick-and-roll method to launch the attack.

After Harrell cut inside the pick-and-roll this time, Capela also immediately covered up the defense.

Anderson? He's a complete colander when it comes to defending pick-and-rolls.

Facing Capela's return defense, Harrell was not in a hurry. After jumping up, he changed hands in the air and avoided Capela's block.

When facing the defense, Harrell has much more ways to end the offense than Capela. His soft layup touch is something Capela doesn't have at all.

In the "eating pie" aspect, the Rockets were completely defeated!

Harrell roared excitedly after scoring, full of energy!

Harrell has never forgotten the Rockets. To be precise, he has not forgotten the teams that tried him out but did not choose him in the end.

At that time, as a young man who had just won the NCAA Men's Basketball Power Forward of the Year Award in college, Harrell had been brooding about his inability to advance to the first round.

He still remembers the day of the draft, when Harrell was both happy and sad when the Grizzlies selected him.

The happy thing is that he successfully entered the league and joined a good team. The sad thing is that he was only picked in the second round.

He felt slighted.

No one wants to be looked down upon, and so does Harden, and so does Harrell!

When Harrell first entered the league, he told reporters, "I can't wait to go on the court and prove myself. I will make a mental note of the teams that didn't pick me and then give them a good look."

It's just that at the time, Harrell's words, which were still unknown, did not carry much weight. Therefore, not many people still remember the goals he set.

Now, Harrell finally has the ability to make the teams who look down on him look good.

Unfortunately, the Houston Rockets are one of them.

4-0, the Rockets had a very unfavorable start. D'Antoni never imagined that the first person to cause trouble for the Rockets would be the guy he considered the least threatening!

After two successful goals, Harrell was even more excited.

Link has already helped him score two goals, and now it's up to him to help Link win his 25th consecutive victory!

So then on the defensive end, Harrell also showed his enthusiasm.

Harden chose to break through Link this time. Seeing this, Harrell also quickly closed the penalty area in an attempt to support Link.

But in this case, Ryan Anderson was completely left out.

Harden will naturally not let go of this opportunity. In the crowd, "Beardden" accurately found Anderson and moved the ball beyond the three-point line.

Attracting double-teams and then distributing the ball, this is Harden's favorite way to assist besides feeding the ball.

However, when Harden passed the ball, Harrell turned around and rushed towards Anderson.

Anderson caught the ball and shot, but when he took off, he found that the wild Harrell had appeared in front of him!

"So fast!?" Anderson's eyes widened. This season, he has hit countless three-pointers after receiving passes from Harden.

In the game against the Warriors, Anderson relied on this move to score 29 points, becoming the Rockets' top scorer!

Generally speaking, there are no surprises in this kind of ball. The only variable is whether you can make the shot.

This is the first time Anderson has seen a fourth position like Harrell who can quickly save and interfere after shrinking.

But now that it's over, Anderson can only bite the bullet and shoot. It's a pity that the basketball he threw failed to pass Harrell's fingers.

Harrell jumped hard and used an extremely exaggerated height to successfully slap Anderson's shot into the stands.

He wants the Rockets to pay the price, and this is not just talk!

"Bang!"

The basketball made a muffled sound, and D'Antoni covered his forehead.

It's a bad start, it's a bad start!

"Oh my God, Harrell's condition today is really great! If he continues to play like this, Link won't even have to take action and the game will be over."

Hubie Brown spread his hands. The Rockets' performance was disappointing.

As of now, none of the Rockets' rounds have been satisfactory.

The cheers in the FedEx Arena grew louder and louder, and the players on the Grizzlies bench also applauded Harrell's block.

However, Link may be the calmest person in the room right now, and he doesn't even feel a little joy in his heart.

Indeed, Harrell's performance is very good, and the Grizzlies now have the advantage.

However, the most powerful "propeller" of the rocket has not been started yet!

Link stared at Harden, still maintaining concentration.

When the bearded man takes action, the real decisive moment will come.

Ranking second in the MVP rankings is not that impressive.
