Hey~ don’t be a coward~ come with me and be tough~ this is what you must do~

If you want to defeat me and take over the first point position, you still have a long way to go~

What kind of ball protection are you doing? That’s too bad. Next time, remember that non-ball handlers should protect the ball-controlling position~

You actually pass the ball in one-on-one? You don’t have enough courage~ Do you know what Michael told me back then? One-on-one is the split time! If you want to achieve one-on-one, you must play! You must do it!!!

I, I'm sorry, boss, can't you accept it after I accept it? Can you stop being so mad at me while educating me on the court? I, I, I will give you the first point, no, I don't want the first point.

Isn’t it okay that I have lost my title? Just be a little more tolerant to me!!!

Harden is in a devastated mood. So far, his shooting percentage is about the same as Howard's.

At present, he is only 2 of 9 shots!!! The field goal percentage is 22.2%!!! This doesn't matter, after all, Harden also has a lot of low shots, but the true shooting percentage looks pretty good in the game! You don't understand? It's just a lot of free throws.

However, in this series, he didn't get anything cheap at all. Because between him and Kobe, the referees were obviously more biased towards the Lakers' No. 24. In this way, he was embarrassed.

His singles offense and defense were suppressed, and he was not even given a chance if he wanted to "make a difference". How could he fight like this?

Therefore, Harden was a bit messy. He even ran out to fly a kite for several balls.

Don’t think that Brother Deng now is the same Brother Deng a few years from now. Besides, even if Brother Deng is a few years from now, do you think he can just get the No. 24 this season?

This game lost its suspense early. At halftime, the Lakers already led their opponents by almost 30 points.

In the first half, the Rockets seemed to have become an "iron team", with a shockingly low shooting percentage.

Of course, it mainly refers to Harden and Howard, because the two of them accounted for 25 of the Rockets' 38 shots, so they must bear the blame. In the second half, McHale wanted to make some changes. He wanted Howard to go up and fight with Haden.

Set up a pick-and-roll, and then use the personal abilities of the two people to score in mismatches. The idea is not bad, but the execution is unfavorable.

The deepest reason is actually... Howard and Harden don't have a tacit understanding of the pick-and-roll. It's okay to improvise temporarily. However, as a fixed offensive tactic, it is too stressful and makes frequent mistakes. This problem is not highlighted enough in the regular season, so

No one noticed, but in the playoffs, the competitive intensity increased, and the regular season system was not enough, so McHale just improvised.

Without a lot of regular season practice, you suddenly have to attack tough situations as a fixed tactic. Do you think basketball is so easy to play?

And ah, and ah, Howard is unwilling to play the pick-and-roll, which is an "eternal mystery."

It seems that after leaving the Magic, he only wanted to prove that he was a "big killer in the low post", and his enthusiasm for pick-and-rolls dropped sharply.

You ask, what's the other reason? Of course, it's because he's not happy enough playing pick-and-roll.

"Happy Beast" doesn't have fun playing ball anymore, so how can we still play, right?

Are you saying that Howard doesn't have a mid-range shot, so he can't play pick-and-rolls? Look at how he played in the Magic. The quality of pick-and-rolls is very high, and how many centers in the league have the ability to pop up and shoot after pick-and-rolls? Very few are stable.

At least in the 2013-14 season, this is still the case.

For example, the Spurs' Split is also very poor in mid-range, but he can still fly in the pick-and-roll?

Isn't it the same for Tyson Chandler? Did it delay him from becoming an excellent pick-and-roller?

No.

So if he can't get out of this psychological cycle of "low-position killer", there is no way he can be saved.

The title of "the league's best center" actually harmed him.

Because Dwight Howard is basically a black hole in low post singles. Have you ever seen a few "number one centers" with the lowest low post single efficiency in the league? The last one! So Howard is not doing "low post kills" at all.

It was not the material of "instrument"! It was not before, it is not now, and it will not be in the future. If he cannot see through it, he will always sink.

"Howard and Harden play pick-and-roll??? It's okay to play occasionally. McHale really dares to use this as a regular tactic! It's so bold! He is worthy of being a member of the Celtics! Haha~"

"Have you seen Howard's willingness to pick and roll? He is no longer the Magic team. Steve can't save him after leaving the Magic team, let alone James Harden? Kevin McHale?"

"I'm really glad we didn't sign him! Look at Feng, look at his on-court performance, his positivity, his professionalism? Which one is comparable to Howard? Can you imagine Mike D'Antoni asking Howard for the entire series?

Isn't he far away from the basket? Can't he get any data? I'm sure he will be so angry that he will kick his feet! After all, he is the 'league's number one center'! Naturally, he will have a bigger airs!"

"Hey, old man, what age is it now? Do you still think he is the 'number one center in the active league'? I remember he was only in the third team this season, right? Are there any others? Look at our No. 29, one by one.

Defense + DPOY, wow~ I can’t believe we kept him~ Compared to Mickey, Bonnie’s vision is undoubtedly more vicious~”

"But Bonnie personally selected her from the NBDL. Do you need to say that she has such a vision? Mickey is getting old after all, and it's time for young people to come and do it!"

Howard's poor pick-and-roll quality and willingness caused Harden to fail several times, and instead fell into a double-team circle. He had a huge resentment towards this "Warcraft" in his heart.

Damn it, why don't you block? If you pick and roll like this, aren't you hurting me? My defender was not blocked, and you even brought your own defender over! Are you trying to trick me on purpose!!!

asshole!!!

Just as he was thinking about it, Kobe and Gasol successfully double-teamed. The former poked Harden's ball away and then ran towards the frontcourt.

He turned 180 degrees and dunked, "Boom~", the whole audience at Staples Center cheered.

The shouting was loud.

The Lakers led 59-39 at halftime and led the Rockets by 20 points entering the second half.
