One Thousand and Seventy Three: New School Scorers and Old School Scorers

Looking at the entire league, Harden's porcelain skills are definitely superb.

After all, he has been focusing on touching porcelain for more than a day or two.

Although Harden has excellent offensive skills in other aspects this season, he is still very keen on playing porcelain.

Link's outlook was really changed by the "Rou Jia Mo Style Touching Porcelain" just now, and now he has also developed a two-person coordination for Ping Porcelain. Incredible, incredible.

Harden's acting skills also impressed Link with admiration. He obviously came to him on his own initiative, but he acted as if he had been greatly violated.

But Link knew that this was just the beginning.

After this, Harden will definitely show off his fancy porcelain skills.

As a result, Link also entered attack mode. If you want to contain Harden, the best way is not to let him score less, but to score more than him!

This time, Link holds the ball in the middle distance on the right side. Facing Ariza, Link suddenly turned to the right in a very wide arc, as if he wanted to turn his back and break through.

But in reality, Link's pivot foot didn't move. When Ariza moved sideways, Link quickly turned back!

Half-turn feint!

With a simple step, Link swung Ariza far away.

After turning his body back, Link easily made a mid-range jump shot, and the basketball hit the net!

Compared to Harden, Link seems to be more of a classical scorer.

He does not pursue the most efficient scoring method called the "Money Ball Theory", nor will he get to the free throw line in such a way as to hit the porcelain.

Link uses his superb offensive skills to seek opportunities!

Link believes that basketball is not a math problem. Using data analysis thinking to interpret basketball is very one-sided.

He just wants to use his own way to contain the new era scorers represented by Harden who also pursue efficiency!

"Beautiful steps, that scene just reminded me of Michael." Hubie Brown applauded. This classic but wonderful mid-range scoring skill is almost extinct now.

On Link,

You can always see the shadows of older generation scorers such as Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Grant Hill.

He is more like a combination of those people, explaining what efficiency is in a real basketball way!

When you can use your superb skills to knock the ball in from mid-range, there is no inefficiency.

Everyone is focused, and this game is becoming more and more interesting.

Because this is not just a record-breaking night when the Grizzlies broke their opening winning streak, and it is not just a showdown between the top two in the MVP rankings.

It’s a collision of two different basketball concepts!

Link's goal was pleasing to the eye, because Harden didn't attack with his back at all, so it was impossible for him to make the series of wonderful actions just now.

But Harden is not envious, he has his own way to solve the problem!

When Harden attacks again, his first goal is to get rid of Link first!

Nowadays, this alliance no longer pays attention to strong dialogue.

The Warriors and Rockets both highly value the offensive method of forcing a defensive switch and then playing in mismatches.

To put it bluntly, it is to use your strongest point to seize the opponent's defensive weakness and beat them hard.

If you thought Harden would confront Link like this all night, you were wrong.

Once, when Kobe faced Artest during the Rockets era, he would never think about mismatching others, but thinking about how to defeat the madman in front of him.

A little further back, when Michael Jordan faced rough opponents, he could only use his own strength to solve problems.

Even when Link and James faced off a few years ago, the two of them went head-to-head to see who could knock the other down first.

But things are different now. If a star encounters a strong defensive player, the first thought that pops up in his mind will definitely be to force him to switch defenses!

As long as you can switch to a player with a weaker defense, the chance of scoring will be greatly improved.

In the face of increasingly advanced and abundant data, players' offenses are all serving efficiency, and they lack a bit of the bloodiness they once had.

The same is true for Harden. When he faced Link, Ariza immediately came up in advance and set up a screen for Harden.

The purpose of this screen is not to facilitate Harden's breakthrough, but to force the Grizzlies to switch defenses!

In this way, Wade is in front of Harden again!

"Fuck!" Link couldn't help but curse in his heart. When basketball is led by data analysis, this is the result!

This is why many people complain that the current NBA is not as good or as intense as before.

Link had to be pushed away by Ariza, and Harden got the opportunity to play with Wade.

This time, Harden used his superb dribbling rhythm to get rid of Wade from the outside and drove straight in!

Although Wade actively chased back, his current pace is completely incomparable with his youth. Harden was half a body ahead of Wade, and he broke through successfully!

Before Gasol came up to defend, Harden made a gentle throw and completed the score!

The score difference returned to 6 points again, and James Harden had no intention of stopping.

"Going in again. Obviously, Harden is deliberately avoiding Link. But there is no doubt that this also makes his offense more efficient and simpler."

Hubie Brown doesn't see anything wrong with avoiding Link. Isn't it the right thing to avoid the opponent's best defensive player?

There is no right or wrong in Harden's style of play, it's just about choice!

If the Rockets win in the end, people won't deny Harden's achievements just because he didn't duel with Link.

Again, as long as it's within the rules, you can't interfere with the process. The main thing is to win!

The point difference continued to be narrowed, and the Rockets clung to the score.

It has to be said that Harden's ability to reach this point depends on more than just touching the porcelain. Because even facing Wade, it is very difficult to score calmly.

But in front of Harden, this is not a problem at all.

At this time, the rhythm of this game seems to have changed to that of the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers a few days ago.

Now the competition is about which of the two sides fails to score first. As long as one of the sides suddenly misfires, the game will be unstoppable!

Link naturally would not surrender. After Harden used a floater to close the point difference, Link immediately responded with a beautiful back-turn jumper on the offensive end.

But soon, Harden fouled Gasol outside the three-point line and continued to the free throw line.

In this attack, Harden simply found a mismatch and singled out Gasol.

Mismatching small players to defeat large players or large players to defeat small players is also the offensive habit of today's league. This way of finding dislocation has become a trend.

Gasol is indeed the best defensive player ever, and there is no doubt about his defensive ability.

But if the No. 5 is out of position to defend a defender, even the best defensive player in the past will be very passive.

After Harden used several rhythm changes to shake Gasol's center of gravity, he suddenly took the initiative to hold Gasol's arm and was about to shoot.

Harden's "Qilin Arm" is so powerful that Gasol can't even pull it out...

In the end, the Spaniard had no choice but to commit a foul. When it comes to using the rules, Harden is definitely No. 1 in the league.

This time, Harden directly got three free throw opportunities. Harden made all three free throws steadily.

The score difference became 5 points, and the Rockets were getting closer and closer to equalizing the score.

In the second quarter, when Harden started scoring mode, the Grizzlies' advantage disappeared instantly.

At this point, Link and Harden are really like two boxers. They punched and attacked each other to see who could withstand it first.

Draymond Green was overjoyed to see Harden finally enter the state. He took out his cell phone and posted an update on social media.

"Congratulations in advance to the Grizzlies for ending their winning streak. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies have reached their limit."

Green is full of confidence in Harden. Once that guy opens up, even Link will be helpless.

Link was able to beat Lou Williams who scored 41 points in a single game, which is amazing. But Harden and Lu Wei are not on the same level.

The Grizzlies held the ball past halftime, and another round of offense that couldn't miss began.
