I am Really an Insider

James Harden, 2012 can be said to be the year when he made a name for himself.

During the regular season, he averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39%.

He overwhelmingly defeated Lu Wei and won the 2012 Best Sixth Man Award.

What is overwhelming advantage?

In the media voting, Harden received 96% of the first-place votes. He did not give 100% because he was afraid that he would be too proud.

By now, everyone knows that the Thunder's bearded substitute is not a third-rate guy.

But being the best sixth man is not the end of Harden.

It was his performance in the 2012 Western Conference Finals that really established Harden's image as a star in people's minds.

In the 2012 Western Conference Finals, the youth Thunder VS the veteran Spurs.

Harden completely showed his worth in that series, averaging 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, and he also shot an exaggerated 60.9% three-point shooting rate.

Of course, some people will think that Harden's data only looks like this, and it's not very explosive. He doesn't even average 20 points per game. How can he be called a player of his worth?

But you have to know that Harden was just a sixth man at that time. Most of the time, the ball is in the hands of Du Xiaoshuai and Turtle Brook.

Harden averaged 18.5 points per game on only 12.2 shots.

For comparison, Turtlesbrook averaged 18.2 points per game, but needed 18.5 shots.

He took the most shots on the team, but ranked only behind Durant and Harden in scoring. He was worthy of being a man who climbed out of the sewer.

Turtle Shao: Is there anyone who compares like you? If you don’t know how to compare, don’t compare blindly! Is it interesting to step on a handful of them?

Moreover, most of Harden's scores are murderous scores.

Because his scoring average in the fourth quarter of the Western Conference Finals was as high as 9.3 points!

Yes, this is equivalent to Harden scoring half of his points in the fourth quarter.

Especially in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Harden made 4 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the team kill the Spurs. It was bloody bloody.

It is estimated that the old thief Vic just wanted to scold his mother at that time, and the Spurs inexplicably became the background for another player to become famous.

Harden in the fourth quarter is terrifying. He hit the key ball with his hands and dropped it, so that the veteran Vic would always be woken up by a splash of urine in the middle of the night.

Because he was always scared to pee by Harden when he was dreaming, and he would be woken up when he was scared to pee.

And in addition to beautiful statistics, Harden's performance in games is often very positive.

Harden in that series was not an eye defense expert, he was very active on the defensive end.

In the Finals, Brooks even asked Harden to defend James.

You know how high his defensive status is in the coach's mind.

Harden often completes steals unexpectedly, jumping back and forth between the two players tirelessly.

Even when it comes to floor ball competition, Harden often frustrates the Spurs.

Ginobili and Daidai both lost to Harden in the fight for the ball.

In short, Harden in the Western Conference Finals was a sixth man with terrifying shooting accuracy and a very active playing style.

It feels a bit like Ginobili back then.

Therefore, the Thunder in 2012 also had this joke - look at me as the big turtle in good times, Du Shao and Ha Shao in the bad times, and go to the third guard in desperate times!

To be honest, Harden's performance in the Western Conference finals is completely worth a maximum salary.

But why were the Thunder so stingy when they renewed Harden's contract?

In addition to the fact that the Thunder are poor, it's also because Harden's performance in the finals was too good.

It was as if he had completely changed as a person, which gave the Thunder the confidence to lower the price.

It is true that Brooks sent Harden to guard James, which is one of the reasons for his sluggish performance.

But who would have thought that Harden would dare to linger in Miami nightclubs during the Finals.

After all, there is no place in San Antonio for Hajishi to spend time. Because it is too boring, he can only play basketball.

But it's different when you arrive in Miami. It's a famous sexy city.

It’s not that Ha Jishi’s concentration is weak, it’s mainly because there are too many temptations in this world~

Harden is right, but this society is wrong.

But no matter how the finals go, Harden's performance in the Western Conference Finals was very good.

Wayne is afraid that Harden will explode early in this year's Western Conference semifinals.

An opponent who averages 9 points per game in the fourth quarter must be said to be very difficult to deal with.

Of course, that doesn't mean that after Harden broke out, Wayne wouldn't have the confidence to win.

Mainly in this series, what Wayne wants is a clean victory.

This is not directed at Du Xiaoshuai at all, but at the joke!

Wayne wanted to use a crushing victory to tell that braised egg, Mr. Wei, I am not something you can arrange casually!

To be honest, in the past, when the joke was harsher on Wayne in terms of suspension, Wayne was not that angry.

But in this year's regular season, jokes actually directly affected the game, which made Wayne very unhappy.

Have you ever seen the first player in the league, not only did the referee not show favoritism during the game, but he was even arranged?

How fresh it is, it’s the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Since you, old boy, have a small pattern, I will teach you what a pattern is.

Therefore, Wayne does not want any surprises in this round of the series.

If you can solve it 4-0, just hold back and beep.

Even if this series is played one more game, Wayne feels that the braised egg is cheap.

Sometimes it’s godfather whistle, and sometimes it’s crazy hype.

Since we are smashing a stall, we must smash it thoroughly.

In short, no accidents can happen.

Before the next game starts, Wayne must give Teacher Tony a good warning and let him watch out for that bearded man.

But you must not let him explode.

As long as Harden can be watched, this series will be basically foolproof.

Wayne nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the series was completely under control.

However, because the playoffs in the original 12-year history have been too long apart.

So Wayne actually left out some important details.

The day after the Blazers and Thunder played, when people talked about the game, most people used words like "disappointment" to describe it.

Wayne believed that Du Xiaoshuai's cell phone would not have enough power today.

Why?

Because he has to be busy opening a trumpet and competing with netizens 24 hours a day!

Du Xiaoshuai's poor performance naturally made him inevitably ridiculed by many fans.

Some people even joked that Du Xiaoshuai was scared to death by Brother Wei.

Wayne - a man who turned the adjectives "beat rough" and "scare" into verbs.

However, it was not just Du Xiaoshuai who was besieged.

The Thunder's two insiders were also locked in the conference room by the fans for a meeting.

"Ibaka and Perkins allowed Tucker, who is less than 2 meters tall, to grab 5 offensive rebounds yesterday! God, what's the point of them being so tall?"

"The Thunder's inside line is incompetent. The Trail Blazers dare to let Tucker, who is 1.98 meters tall, play inside. This is simply an insult to the Thunder's inside line."

"The Trail Blazers let Tucker play inside. One of them really dared to play, and the key one really dared to lose."

"I thought the Heat's inside line was already useless, but I didn't know that the Thunder's inside line was equally good."

Bosh: Do you have to mention the Heat? Let me tell you, don’t underestimate me, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, I am actually very bloody!

Ibaka looked at the various comments on his phone and was so angry that he wanted to overturn the conference table.

Stop it, let's get over, let's get over!

"Bakamaka, are you angry?" Du Xiaoshuai saw Ibaka staring at the phone and frowning, so he went up and took a look at Ibaka's phone screen.

Good guy, Du Xiaoshuai finally found a fellow man who was sprayed as badly as he was!

"Can you not be angry?"

"Don't be afraid, I have experience in this kind of thing!" Du Xiaoshuai put on a senior attitude and shared his experience in dealing with keyboard warriors with Ibaka.

"I'll teach you, you just need to register a trumpet account like me, and then you can happily compete with them online! Squirt the hell out and see who can outsend whom! You'll feel good after you're done!

Well, they can't crawl along the network cable and kill you anyway. So on the Internet, be as arrogant as you want!

Look at me, although I am submissive in real life, online I have always been aggressive~"

Du Xiaoshuai was beaming as he spoke, but Ibaka looked at Du Xiaoshuai with a look that was hard to explain.

Big brother, big brother, should I say it or not, I would rather act like this.

It’s Zhennima’s dog!

Am I, Ibaka, the kind of person who is afraid that the other party will hack me along the network cable?

Brother, you know me. With my irritable personality, I want to follow the network cable and kill the keyboard warrior!

Your approach of transforming yourself into a keyboard warrior and exchanging blows with keyboard warriors is not my style. What I want is to hit hard in reality.

Thinking of this, Ibaka clenched his fists in anger.

Yes, you have to hit hard!

But instead of beating the fans, beat Tucker.

In the next game, Tucker, the dwarf, must pay the price no matter what.

You must clear your name!

The way to break doubts is not to argue with the other party at the conference table, but to overturn the conference table.

The X-factor for the next game is starting to become more and more

"Okay, I'll leave the experience to you, and you'll figure it out yourself. Oops, fuck. No more talking, I'm going to the toilet." Du Xiaoshuai didn't notice Ibaka's contemptuous look at all, and rushed to the toilet while holding his stomach. passed.

Well, the influence of wolfberry water is not over yet.

What a miserable little handsome guy.

Before the game on May 16, the Trail Blazers held a simple awards ceremony in the Rose Garden.

Celebrating Wayne's career winning the Defensive Player of the Year trophy for the third time since the 2007-08 and 10-11 seasons!

This award also made Wayne the second person to win the best defensive player award in NBA history.

Since the NBA established the Best Defensive Player Award in the 1982-83 season, Uncle Mu and Big Ben have won the award four times, tied for the first place in history.

So today, it was Uncle Mu, the center coach of the Trail Blazers, who personally handed the trophy to Wayne.

And Wayne's three awards have brought him infinitely closer to the number one ranking in history.

After awarding the award, Uncle Mu also used his unique pipe-smoking voice to blow a wave of Wayne’s rainbow farts: “I believe that sooner or later, my number one position in history will be surpassed by Wayne! He just won five awards. I wouldn’t be surprised if he won the best defensive player award!”

Du Xiaoshuai, who was standing at the other end of the court, curled his lips in disgust: "Bah!"

What is the best defensive player? I'm playing the best defensive player!

Today, Du Xiaoshuai's diarrhea has recovered and he strictly controlled his water intake before the game. His body is in the best condition.

He believes that as this season's scoring leader, he will be able to avenge his shame!

Ibaka, standing next to Du Xiaoshuai, also had the same expression.

He learned the final results of the best defensive player selection this afternoon because he was also one of the candidates.

The final result also made Ibaka very helpless.

As the block leader this season, Ibaka averaged an exaggerated 3.7 blocks per game. He only ranked second with a slight disadvantage in the voting, which made Ibaka somewhat unwilling.

It is not difficult to see from the first place vote rate that Ibaka is not without a chance.

Wayne's first-place vote rate this time was only 28.6%, while Ibaka's was 27.1%.

It's a very small gap indeed.

Ibaka even believes that if it weren't for Wayne's fame, the best defensive player should be his!

Anyway, most second place people will have this illusion: the first place is too weak to win, and the first place should be me!

Wayne: Haha!

Although I don’t block as many shots as you, my other statistics are much better than yours, right?

Although Wayne's blocks this season are "only" 2.8 per game, his 1.2 steals are much more than Ibaka's 0.5.

In addition, Ibaka's 7.5 rebounds per game are far behind Wayne's 11.8 rebounds per game.

Not to mention that in terms of defensive efficiency, Wayne is actually higher than Ibaka. Wayne said that I am too lazy to bully you with such high-level data.

You feel that you are only a little behind and you are not happy. I also feel that I am only a little ahead of you and I am not happy!

What the hell did you vote for! The gap between Godway and Ibaka is more than that.

Speaking of which, this is also the first season in Wayne's career in which he averaged double figures in rebounds per game.

Jazz Bar's badge is really useful, and Wayne's rebounding ability has been improved to the naked eye.

If it weren't for the fact that Jazz's "Super Helicopter" badge wasn't unlocked until almost halfway through the season, Wayne estimates that he would have no big problem with breaking 12 rebounds this season.

Now, Wayne wants to see who else says that I am not an insider!

In this era where there are no big bugs in the penalty area like Yao Ming and Shaq, Wei Ge is really an insider.

This wave of award ceremonies held by the Trail Blazers has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire in the heads of the Thunder players.

Before the game started, I stood silently watching the opponent receive the award. Who wouldn't be angry if this happened?

The angry Thunder generals stepped onto the court, and Ibaka's eyes seemed to be on fire.

He stared hard at Tucker, the fat-assed handsome boy, and secretly shouted in his heart: I will definitely squeeze you to death today!

But Ibaka's burning gaze may not seem like that to others.

"Oh no, why is that guy Ibaka staring at Brother Tucker with burning eyes? Let me tell you, based on my many years of experience in looking at people, there is definitely something wrong with this Ibaka!"

Stephenson quietly gossiped with his teammates on the bench.

Brother Tucker's buttocks can attract you, so there's something wrong with you!

Thinking of this, Stephenson was a little afraid of Ibaka.

After all, if you were accidentally injured by his thing, you might end up with stomach bleeding.

The referee blew the whistle and Wayne once again won the first offensive ball for the Trail Blazers.

Because they just defeated the Thunder in the last game, everyone on the Trail Blazers played very confidently today.

As soon as the last game started, Curry went directly to Wayne.

But today, because their self-confidence has increased, the primary school students feel that they should be able to do it too.

Wayne didn't forcefully ask for the ball, his teammates could all play for it, because this was the best way to win.

The primary school student then directed Wayne to cover himself. Unexpectedly, Gui tried to force his way past Wayne.

Unexpectedly, Dagui Shao was also so straightforward on the defensive end.

It's a hard squeeze, can you survive it?

Curry easily broke through Gui Shao and went straight into the penalty area.

Ibaka is very fast, but still not as fast as Curry.

When the elementary school student saw that he had passed Ibaka, he decided to go for a layup.

Watch my Portland Carter show!

The elementary school student is not stupid. He knows that Bakamaka has great shot-blocking ability.

So, he chose a high throw and layup.

The characteristic of this kind of layup is that the arc of the ball is very high and it hits the top edge of the backboard.

Therefore, it is generally difficult to cover.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the elementary school student threw the ball up, Ibaka's big hand stretched out from behind and covered Curry and the top of the basketball.

"I'll wipe it." The primary school student opened his mouth in surprise. What kind of monster is this? He can actually jump better than a dunker like me?

How could Ibaka have his whole hand on the basketball! ? This is a high-throw shot!

Not to mention the elementary school students, even Wayne was a little surprised.

The height of Ibaka's jump is quite scary, higher than he usually jumps.

Ibaka's physical fitness is already very good. Today, coupled with the power of anger, can the height not be exaggerated?

Just like that, Ibaka grabbed the ball from behind Curry!

Chase him and catch him!

"I'm going to kiss you!" Du Xiaoshuai was so frightened that Ibaka was so tall!

Big brother, if you had fought like this earlier, we wouldn’t have had to suffer like that in the last game.

Seeing Ibaka confiscate the ball from the elementary school student in the air, Wayne got goosebumps all over his body.

Before the lockdown, Ibaka was worthy of being a man who could block James' tomahawk dunk at his peak.

Building a primary school student is really easy and enjoyable for him.

After Ibaka caught the risk, he passed the ball to Turtlesbrook.

Turtle gets the ball and rushes. After all, he is a straight-line basketball player.

Fortunately, Teacher Tony ran up to him and successfully forced Turtle to slow down before he could completely speed up.

Mr. Gui is really convinced. Teacher, you are too strict!

Even if you don't rush, you won't be allowed to survive.

In desperation, Mr. Turtle handed the ball to Xiaoshuai.

The coach was still thinking about how to score in front of Wayne, the hot-blooded best defensive player.

But when he saw Wayne striding forward and lifting his trouser legs, Du Xiaoshuai suddenly felt a little weak.

He had a psychological shadow over this action.

At this time, Ibaka raised his hand for the ball one step behind the free throw line, so Du Xiaoshuai also hit the ball up and passed it to Ibaka.

Matthews did not stick to it. He believed that Ibaka would not attack directly.

Anyway, in the last game, Ibaka held the ball in the mid-range most of the time and only made a transition.

Who knew that today, after Ibaka received the basketball, he turned around and made a decisive mid-range shot.

Matthews' interference was a step slower, and Ibaka's shot went hollow into the net!

Ibaka, who has never had any presence on the offensive end, actually scored the first goal for the Thunder!

After the goal, Ibaka looked up to the sky and screamed, as if the stick in his pants was shaking restlessly.

Wayne really didn't expect Ibaka to be so active on the offensive end today.

Is this script wrong?

Didn’t you agree that Hajishi would break out?

Why do you feel like Ibaka is going to explode first?

In the next round, Wayne broke through Du Xiaoshuai and walked to the basket. Facing Ibaka's defense, Wayne chose to hand the ball to Tucker who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Tucker made 4 of 6 shots from beyond the three-point line yesterday, all of which were open opportunities due to the opponent's contraction, and his shooting percentage was quite stable.

So today, Wayne also trusts Tucker 100%.

Who would have known that today, the moment Wayne passed the ball, Ibaka ran towards Tucker as if he was desperate.

Although he still couldn't get in immediately, with his huge advantages in height, wingspan and jumping, Ibaka still successfully blocked Tucker's shot!

Because he rushed too hard and had too much inertia, Ibaka rushed into the crowd uncontrollably.

But soon, he crawled back and yelled at Tucker.

"Come on, try again today!"

Not only is Ibaka long, he's also tough.

He is worthy of being a tough guy who decided to make a comeback in isolation for the sake of the Thunder.

This little bump was nothing to him.

As soon as he came up, Ibaka used one shot and two risks to give the Blazers a powerful start.

Although after this block, the ball still belongs to the Trail Blazers.

But Ibaka controlled his momentum as soon as he came up.

In the next attack, Wayne chose to break through again.

But under the joint interception of Ibaka and Du Xiaoshuai, Wayne was knocked to the ground.

The referee still made a large-scale call, and there was no foul on this ball!

After falling down, Wayne quickly stood up and returned to defense, but no matter how fast he got up, it would still be delayed.

And without Wayne, the risk-chasing maniac, Westbrook can charge unscrupulously!

Turtle Shao drove straight in, fought his way out of the crowd at incredible speed, and then succeeded with his iconic tomahawk chop.

Turtle Shao's chops can be described in one word - quite explosive!

He is worthy of being a strong man with triple pairs in the future.

After landing, Mr. Turtle also made a celebration gesture of inserting guns with both hands, showing off his domineering attitude!

"The young Thunder team is really full of energy. Today's start is completely different from yesterday. It seems that this young team has no intention of giving up the game yet!" The Portland on-site commentator also had to praise the Thunder's performance.

This wave of youth storm is extremely destructive.

Wayne then finally broke the Blazers' scoring drought with a mid-range pull-up jumper. He thought he would tie the score soon.

Unexpectedly, after passing by, Ibaka actually pulled out Matthews from the mid-range.

This is the second time today that Ibaka takes the initiative to attack. His desire to score is abnormally strong.

For a person who averages less than double digits per game, is it really okay for you to play like this?

6 to 2, the Thunder continues to lead!

Even before Haji Stone came on, the Thunder had already shown a completely different state from yesterday.

Wayne couldn't help scratching his head, something was wrong with the trend of this game.

In the next few rounds, Matthews did not dare to let Ibaka go, and the Thunder's offensive space instantly became larger.

Turtlesbrook also took this opportunity to make a few more breakthroughs and successfully scored.

A few minutes into the first quarter, the Thunder were still leading.

At this time, the Thunder replaced the Hardstone again, which undoubtedly made the Blazers' already unfavorable situation worse.

After Harden came on the court, his eyes were extremely focused.

It seems that it may not be easy to break the braised egg's head.

The time has come for the Thunder's four young players to start a team across the board and test the strength of the current number one player.

Begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
