Three Hundred and Eighty-Seven: The Windmill Turns and Turns

Players from both sides stood in the designated positions, Gasol Jr. and Turk Omer Asik stepped into the middle circle, and the battle was about to start.

Before the start of the game, TNT specially gave Harden and Link a split-screen shot, and then attached the data comparison of the two recent games below.

Link's data can't be said to be bad, but it's certainly not amazing. 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists against the Bucks, 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists against the Jazz, 2 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists against the Warriors. Link is still omnipotent, but omnipotence is reasonable.

What about Harden? That data can only be described as a burst.

In the opening game, he had 37 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds. He played against the Eagles with 47 points, 7 assists and a shooting percentage of 737. In the last game against the Trail Blazers, although they lost, they also scored 24 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds.

Looking at the data alone, it is indeed as McHale said, "Harden's worst game was as good as Link's."

It can be seen that Harden's expression was very dignified before the game started. What about Link? With a relaxed face.

Link has been echoing that sentence in his heart, "Don't worry, I will always watch your back. You just have to go forward bravely. I will do the rest."

Therefore, Link doesn't have much to worry about now. It feels good to have a strong backing responsible for guarding the opponent's top scorer!

Stevens is not afraid of James Harden. Harden has not encountered a truly top-level defense in the Thunder this season, including the first few games of this season.

In the past in the Thunder, other teams would put top defensive resources on Westbrook and Durant. In the first few games, the Rockets' opponents did not have top-level defensive capabilities.

So, when Harden meets the real top defense. Stevens believes that the green beard will meet the first Waterloo after transferring to the Rockets!

At the referee's whistle, Marc Gasol helped the Grizzlies get the ball first. Iguodala glanced at the empty dome of the FedEx Center and ran to the frontcourt.

Link had just stood outside the three-point line when he felt his vision was blocked. In front of him, that guy with good looks and tall height is a whole five centimeters taller than Link!

The height of a big forward!

Chandler Parsons, another inspirational model of a second-round pick's counterattack. He was selected in the second round of 2011, and he killed the big brother Chase Budinger who joined the industry in 2009 in only 6 games, and has since secured the position of the Rockets' starting small forward.

When Parsons participated in the draft, he was considered to have no outstanding characteristics, his athletic ability was average, and as a small forward, his free throw percentage was only about 50 in his senior year, which is really eye-catching.

The senior averaged only 114 points and 7 rebounds per game. Generally, players who can only produce such data in NAA can't make a name for themselves in NBA.

However, Parsons used his excellent foundation to make himself crazy progress. He not only survived in the NBA, but also turned the "no outstanding features" in the original scout report into the current "no major shortcomings".

Defensively speaking, Parsons is very active and not afraid of confrontation. Moreover, with a height of 2.0 meters in the third position, the defense is simply too dominant!

Also a rookie with less seniority than Link, Parsons' defense is completely different from Harrison Barnes' defense.

Barnes is timid and overwrought. And what about Parsons? Just desperate!

Link pushed and ran before getting rid of Parsons and getting the ball. And as soon as Link received the ball, Parsons pressed forward.

I have to say that this defense is much tighter than Harden's. Harden's defense may not be so tight before Artest opened up the second line of Ren Du.

But Link didn't stop the ball. As soon as he got the ball, he transferred the ball to Iguodala again.

Iguodala holds the ball against James Harden! The fun begins.

Harden obviously didn't prepare too much defensively for Iguodala,

Because he thought his opponent today was Link.

Little did he know that Iguodala made a breakthrough as soon as he came up and caught Harden by surprise!

Iguodala is one of the league's well-known demon muscular men. He was previously known as the representative of the brutal small forward along with James and Josh.

Iguodala is indeed a beast when he thinks of a beast. For example, this time, when everyone in the Rockets was still in a daze, Iguodala leaned on Harden to enter the inside line, and then slashed the ball in with one hand. box.

Asik made up the defense, but his pace was too slow. Before he could confront Iguodala, Iguodala completed a dunk.

McHale had a question mark on his face, what's going on? Iguodala's first goal? Shouldn't it be Link? This Nima is different from what is written in the script!

After the goal, Iguodala pointed to the stands, with a blank expression, and directly retreated.

When Iguodala stops paddling, he may bring a tsunami.

"This Andre Iguodala does have advantages in all aspects. Height, strength, weight, Iguodala is not at a disadvantage in the second position. But it doesn't matter, now it is the Rockets' offense."

The commentator wiped his sweat. He hadn't realized what level of defense the Rockets were facing.

Jeremy Lin swept the ball, although he almost scored 40 points on Kobe's head during Linsanity. But at heart, he's still a "pass first" point guard.

And in McHale's system, Harden is the core, so Jeremy Lin can't play his best role.

Jeremy Lin first played a pick-and-roll with Asik, but the quality of the Turk's pick-and-roll was not high, and Conley easily bypassed and crossed in front of Jeremy Lin.

So the No. 7 guard chose to pass the ball and returned the ball to Harden outside the three-point line!

Then, people were disappointed to find that Stevens did not send Link to defend Harden, but still used Iguodala to match him.

"Iguodala defends Harden, let's see what Harden will do!"

Harden dribbled the ball twice, ready to break through. But Iguodala didn't give him a chance directly. He took the initiative to lean up to fight, disrupting Harden's dribbling rhythm, and the basketball seemed to be out of control at any time.

Harden had no choice but to hand the ball to Parsons, and then wanted to get a chance by running without the ball.

But Harden found that no matter how he ran, he couldn't easily gain space like in the previous games. Iguodala is like his shadow, always with him!

As Iguodala said, the defense the Rockets encountered in the first three games is too weak!

In Memphis, there are no easy scoring opportunities!

Jeremy Lin and Harden both failed to achieve their two offensive strengths, and the Rockets' offense instantly entered xd mode.

Every head coach has his own style, and McHale is by no means a tactical guru.

If a few cooperations failed, the Rockets had to come by themselves.

Parsons finally handed the ball to Harden reluctantly. Of course, the chances were not good.

Harden stepped back and made a jumper after receiving the ball, but Harden has not yet perfected this trick.

Under the interference of Iguodala's face cover, the basketball hit the front of the basketball, which was a lot shorter!

"Beautiful defense, James Harden has no shot space at all! Iguodala is trying to make his myth interrupted in Memphis!"

While speaking, Link shook off Parsons and ran to the frontcourt and raised his hand to ask for the ball. The melon seller Gasol Jr. made a long pass from the backcourt to find Link. What about Parsons? He has already been thrown off a position.

Link didn't have to worry about anything, he was already thinking about fighting back later. So when Harden missed, Link immediately reacted.

After receiving the basketball, there was no one in front of Link. He wanted to end the fight with a one-handed dunk as usual.

But after thinking about it, I have to give the proud Rockets some color. Let them see how powerful the old Rockets are.

As a result, Link jumped high amidst the cheers of the fans, and drew a circle in the air with both hands holding the ball before dunking it into the basket!

The audience gasped, and the big windmill dunked!

"Is this Link!? Are you sure he's not possessed by Iguodala!?" Everyone was stunned from the commentary to the fans. This was the first time Link dunked in such a fancy way in actual combat!

This guy, how could he jump higher than in his rookie season! ? Don't tell me, he can still grow in his twenties!

After Link landed, he opened his arms and made a glider dive. Today, Memphis also has Spider-Man to watch.

Back in their own half, Link and Iguodala high-five.

Two offenses, two forwards, two dunks. The Grizzlies, a team that has always been simple, have never been so irritable.

From the very beginning, the Grizzlies showed great aggression.

Harden was a little confused. The trend of this game shouldn't be like this. What about the battle between myself and Link?

Now, it's all about dunks by Iguodala and Link.
