High-intensity peak showdown games are like this. In the eyes of fans, this player's ability is very powerful, but in fact, their power is far from being as strong as it seems on the surface.
This is also the reason why there are so many players in the league and only a few superstars.
Facing the bayonet, no matter how confident James Harden was, he would not dare to be careless in the slightest. After all, if he was serious, it would be the same if the bayonet on the opposite side was used.
Therefore, throughout the third quarter of the game, James Harden scored an outstanding 15 points in a single quarter despite bayonet-to-bayonet offense and defense.
But his whole body was almost overdrawn. To be honest, James Harden is a player with excellent physical fitness. But when the third quarter of the game was over, people were still on the Houston Rockets bench.
I saw James Harden, who looked exhausted and was constantly breathing heavily.
Of course, for Jiang Hao, his current state is not much better, although he also scored 15 points in the third quarter.
But frankly speaking, Jiang Hao felt that these 15 points were more tiring than the 24 points he scored in the first two quarters, and the price he paid was even greater.
"What a wonderful game. 85:81. At the end of the third quarter, the Dallas Mavericks at home were only leading by four points. For the Houston Rockets, there is no need for them to be depressed. The four-point difference is really not big.
What kind of"
"Both two people scored 30 after the first three quarters of the game. This is extremely terrifying. This has never happened in NBA history."
"With the last quarter of the game left, the two of them will definitely score. This is really unbelievable. Although both of them seem to be very consumed now, based on what we know about them
,In this case, neither of them will back down."
"I agree with Shaq. We can trust James Harden in the regular season. He is definitely a superstar and an excellent scorer."
Although Barkley's remarks sounded a bit harsh to the ears of the Houston Rockets, they had to admit that this was the truth.
"As for the bayonet, let alone the bayonet. We have all seen this child's ability in desperate situations. He is even less likely to give up."
Without discussion or other reasons, Jiang Hao and James Harden returned to the court together after the start of the fourth quarter.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao and James Harden have basically not had much rest since this game.
Especially now, after the third quarter lasted the whole quarter, they returned to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Of course, although both people continued to return to the court, their treatment was different.
For James Harden, head coach D'Antoni only asked symbolically about James Harden's physical condition during the break. This was actually a polite comment, because he actually did not let James Harden know from the bottom of his heart.
It means to rest.
Because this is his usual tactical arrangement, and in his professional values, an eight-man rotation is the limit he can endure.
As the team's head coach, he also wants to win very much tonight, and he doesn't want the team to be swept.
Therefore, even though he knew that James Harden was tired and needed a rest, he still had the guts to let James Harden continue to play.
But Jiang Hao's side was different. During the break, head coach Rick Carlisle wanted Jiang Hao to rest on the bench for a few minutes on the grounds that the team was 4 points ahead, but Jiang Hao directly refused.
"I want to know where my limits are, so I have to go all out, boss, I'm preparing for the playoffs."
Jiang Hao gave the reason.
Rick Carlisle nodded. He understood what Jiang Hao meant. Just say that, during the third quarter of the game, Jiang Hao suddenly increased the intensity of the game. It turned out that he had this plan.
But it’s okay to do this. As the head coach, of course he also wants to see what the bayonet looks like after the extreme explosion, which will help him make tactical arrangements in advance.
"Now that you have decided, go ahead, but one thing is, don't get hurt."
Rick Carlisle was very afraid that Jiang Hao would have an accident, because if Jiang Hao's body had an accident, it would really affect his whole body.
After the start of the fourth quarter, it was the Houston Rockets who took the lead in attacking. Throughout the third quarter, Chris Paul tried his best to share the pressure for James Harden, especially when it came to defending the bayonet.
Now the fourth quarter of the game has begun. When he saw James Harden refusing to rest, he also let out a long sigh. To be honest, after coming to the Houston Rockets for so long, this was the first time he saw James Harden give his full strength in the true sense.
In the past, I was forced to do so by the bayonet tonight.
However, this kind of James Harden is what he has always wanted to see most, so at this moment, he also made up his mind. In the fourth quarter, he will continue to help James Harden share the pressure as much as possible and go all out.
to win this game with James Harden.
Therefore, in the first offensive round, he had a wonderful cooperation with James Harden.
At the top of the arc, Chris Paul, after facing Trevor Ariza's defense, pretended to break through and quickly passed the ball to James Harden. Then he took advantage of an excellent running position and turned around at the top of the arc.
After that, he took over the basketball from James Harden again in the final moments of this offense.
brush.
A decisive three-pointer directly sealed the attack.
"With the wonderful cooperation between Chris Paul and James Harden, with this wonderful three-pointer, Chris Paul once again helped the team narrow the point difference to 1 point."
Kenny Smith showed an exaggerated expression. I have to say that Chris Paul's three-pointer was too crucial.
He hit a three-pointer not long after the start of the third quarter, which also helped the team narrow the point difference to 1 point. Now he does it again, which is really amazing.
After Chris Paul hit a three-pointer, just like the script, the Dallas Mavericks responded quickly, and the responder was DeAndre Jordan.
This time, he not only completed the shot, but also got a 21 chance.
brush.
With a free throw percentage that is now about to reach 75%, DeAndre Jordan successfully hit a three-pointer.
"James Harden has Chris Paul on his side, and Bayonet has DeAndre Jordan on his side. As for Chris Paul or DeAndre Jordan, perhaps no one expected that they would have such a pair of former Clippers inside and outside players.
