Chapter 322 The Protagonist Always Appears at the Most Critical Moments (10/10, Ant Riding Thousand Rewards Plus 2)
Chapter 322 The Protagonist Always Appears at the Most Critical Time
Harden is a player with a high IQ and is very good at using the rules.
In the Western Conference Finals last season, Ginobi used the same method to trick him into a 3+1.
For most fans, even if they switch to other players, they may have forgotten that there is such a ball.
But he has always kept it in mind, and has been studying Ginobili's approach during the offseason. As a result, he made Green one in the same way.
And he didn't just imitate, but he figured out the referee's standard when making penalties on the cylinder, which is why his number of free throws has skyrocketed this season.
The game entered a dead ball, and Harden had a chance to add a penalty.
The fans at the scene were a little excited.
Harden's free throws are very stable. If this additional penalty is also scored, his scoring in this quarter will reach 9 points.
And it took less than half a quarter.
Such a strong scoring explosive power, coupled with that excellent pass, is Hakishi's rhythm.
At this moment, Popovich reached out and slapped his forehead, then turned around and called Tang Tian up.
Now it is not whether he wants to replace Tang Tian, but has to replace Tang Tian.
The sideline whistle sounded, and Tang Tian came on to replace Green.
There was an uproar among the fans.
The biggest difference between Tang Crazy and Lin Crazy is that he is not only crazy in statistics, but a combination of offense and defense.
Back then, Jeremy Lin could explode with all-stars and even superstars, but in the past ten games, Tang Tian almost wiped out all the matchups.
No one knew why Tang Tian was on the bench, but now that Tang Tian really came up, the hearts of fans as opponents trembled.
"Tang is on the field. It seems that his physical condition is fine, and he should not be injured." Kenny Smith explained in time.
"Yes, we can see who is the crazier among the two who have also improved this season!" Barkley mobilized the emotions of the live broadcast audience.
The traffic on the hotline also increased sharply at this time.
Although it came later than expected, but because of Green's comparison, it made the fans look forward to it even more.
Green can't limit much to that level, can Tang Tian do it?
Harden was about to make a free throw when he heard the short whistle of a substitution from the sidelines. He turned around and saw Tang Tian coming on the field, frowning.
He was traded away by the Thunder, and what he hated was the Thunder management and the Spurs.
If the Thunder made it to the finals last year, he is confident to help the team beat the Heat to win the championship.
In last year's Western Conference Finals, the person who really influenced the trend of the series was Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's defense against Durant is crucial to his defense.
Without Tang Tian, no one on the Spurs could defend against him and Durant, and they would definitely make it to the finals.
Although it is impossible to change what has happened, the unhappiness has always been there.
Then let him make a name for himself in this game!
With a stubborn look in his eyes, Harden made an extra free throw and raised his scoring to 9 points in a single quarter, which also helped the Rockets gain a 5-point lead 11-6.
After being beaten 6-0 by the Spurs, he led the team to an 11-0 counterattack wave.
The Rockets are on the move!
The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian's Zip hammer tactics got a chance.
Harden was still in the transition period of gaining weight at this time, and his defense was not bad, but Duncan's pick-and-roll was in place and completely blocked him.
Before Patterson's help came up, Tang Tian made an open three-pointer.
Rockets coach McHale's face tightened on the sidelines.
In Tang Tian's case, the three-point stability is much better than Green's. Such an opportunity...
"Shua!"
The basketball is hollow into the net.
Tang Tian made a three-pointer right from the start!
"Oh, this three-pointer is very important." Barkley said.
"The protagonist always comes on stage at the most critical moment!" O'Neill on the side then shouted.
These words directly amused Barkley and Smith next to him.
But there was nothing wrong with what he said. The Spurs were in a scoring drought, and Tang Tian's three-pointer was really crucial.
9 to 11.
Rockets possession.
Harden knew Tang Tian's defensive ability, so he didn't attack personally. Instead, he gave the ball to Jeremy Lin's organization and ran without the ball.
Asik and Patterson's consecutive pick-and-rolls were bypassed by Tang Tian.
When Harden received the ball, Tang Tian had already followed.
With less time left to attack, Harden could only choose to attack.
A side-to-side crossover, then a signature step-back three.
Tang Tian didn't rush forward, but stretched out his hands to interfere.
Harden didn't have a shot, and took the initiative to lean on Tang Tian to find a foul.
Tang Tian didn't move, and the referee didn't blow his whistle.
Harden could barely make a shot.
Direct three non-stick!
There was a commotion at the scene.
Popovich couldn't help but shook his head with a smile at this time.
Defending this technique really has a lot to do with experience.
With the same tactic, Harden's one hit on Green was accurate, but when it came to Tang Tian's, he was deflated.
Harden turned to the referee to complain, but the referee ignored him.
Tang Tian was completely inside his cylinder just now, and Harden is not yet a superstar like James Durant, so he wouldn't give a star whistle.
Duncan got a defensive rebound, and the Spurs pushed a defensive counterattack. In the three-on-two frontcourt, Parker gave it to Leonard who followed up, and Leonard scored again.
The light of Tang Tian's previous game was so dazzling that many people ignored Leonard's progress.
He gained weight during the offseason, averaged more than 10 points per game this season, and has already shown his offensive and defensive superstar appearance.
A wave of 5 to 0, the Spurs directly tied the score.
In the Rockets' offense, Harden attacked with the ball this time and called Asik to a high pick-and-roll.
Asik's pick-and-roll quality is still very high, but Tang Tian's pick-and-roll ability is better than Green's.
Asik didn't block it, but it was still delayed until Tang Tian.
Harden seized the opportunity and directly accelerated to break through.
Tang Tian chased and defended from behind, very fast.
Harden made it to the basket. He turned around and saw Tang Tian was chasing him closely, so he immediately stopped and shot.
This is a very special rhythm, just stuck in a momentary pause when the defensive player is chasing and defending, which is how Green got fouled earlier.
Tang Tian caught up, but he didn't jump.
After Harden paused and shot, he jumped up.
"boom!"
As soon as Harden took the ball, Tang Tian slapped him and flew him off the field!
No-fly zone, increase the success rate of blocking by 15%.
Tang Tian's ability to block shots was not low, and with this success rate added, his ability to block shots has reached 75, which is already a first-class block blocking level in the league!
The referee blows his whistle for a throw-in.
No foul!
After Tang Tian landed, facing the audience on the sidelines, he stretched out his hand and raised his index finger, then shook it left and right.
There was an uproar at the scene.
"Oh, this action!" Barkley was stunned by Tang Tian's action at this moment.
"He's paying homage to Mutombo!" Kenny Smith exclaimed from the sidelines.
ps: After the tenth update, ask for a monthly pass!
