NBA: The strongest trash talk

As we all know, this year’s wave of injuries and illnesses in the Rockets can be said to have forced the full board!

With Chris Paul, Clint Capela, Eric Gordon and other team players injured one after another, James Harden broke out in a way that everyone didn’t expect!

With 57 points against the Grizzlies, 58 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists against the Nets, and then a career-high 61 points against the Knicks, Harden has to tell the world again and again that last year’s son of Jingdezhen, who only touched porcelain, is gone, replaced by a new self!

The Rockets also jumped from the almost suicidal West 14 to 6th in the West, closely behind the Portland Blazers with dual guns in the backcourt!

Harden is also the only star who can closely follow Chen Xu on the scoring list, and in the MVP list, Harden even surpasses Chen Xu and ranks first!

This game is also full of highlights, Chen Xu is currently averaging 38.7 points per game, Harden is currently averaging 37.6 points per game, and the two scoring champions are facing each other, which is the first time this season.

It can be said that Chen Xu is the most surprising super rookie this season, and Harden is also the most unexpected star outbreak this season!

Who would have thought that a rookie who only joined the NBA this year could do a lot of miracles, nail a group of stars to the backdrop, and create perhaps the best rookie season performance in history!

And James Harden, in the style of play is very criticized, the Rockets this season in the state of cliff-like decline, unexpected outbreak, consecutive cut amazing high scores, and Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain and other super scorers to compete in the air, becoming a veritable “first quarterback”!

The game was also an unexpected surprise for the league. The competition, which was originally broadcast live on local stations, was suddenly upgraded to a national broadcast. Fuji Training Sports has also reserved free sessions for this game, hoping to sprint to the peak of the ratings of the new season!

“Boy, it’s good. Two months later, you’ve become a superstar. ”

Warming up before the game, James Harden also took the initiative to greet Chen Xu.

Of course, Harden can’t forget the “Is this big enough” meme created by Chen Xu, which made himself a material for being ridiculed at that time.

But in retrospect, with Chen Xu’s current performance, this is not too much of a shame, just like Dwyane Wade’s drift 3-point rebound in defending Kobe.

After the game, Wade said that if this ball had not been shot by Kobe, he would have directly dismantled the locker room! Harden was in the same mood as Wade was then.

It’s better to be beaten into a backdrop by a superstar than to be beaten into a backdrop by a nobody.

The shame of the latter is much stronger than the former.

“Is it? You are also very good, and the continuous high-score performances bring people a strong shock. Chen Xu also praised Harden.

Hearing this, the Rockets players and Celtics players on the side couldn’t help but laugh.

This commercial blowing is too official, too embarrassing.

Later, the two ignored the eyes of others and chatted awkwardly again until the game began.

“Oh… I’ve been looking forward to this game for so long, I almost dreamed about it last night! ”

Before the start of the competition, the commentator guests also invited two substitutes for the NT Sky Group – Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller,

“Then tell me, how did you end up in your dream?” Reggie Miller dug a hole for the other side.

“Uh… Let me think, hey buddy, why are you asking me such offending questions! Focus on the game. Acutely aware of this, Kenny Smith immediately went around, and then the two laughed silently, adding a lot of joy to the arena.

At the beginning of the game, the Rockets also sent starters, Paul, Capela, Gordon returned from injury, plus Harden, TJ Tucker, the Rockets’ strongest team is finally together, ready to fight for a better ranking in order to gain home-court advantage in the playoffs.

The Celtics still sent Horford, Chen Xu, Jaylen Brang, Marcus Smart, and Hayward.

Not surprisingly, Capela jumped the ball over Horford, the Rockets in possession.

Paul got the ball and started to control the court, turned around and found that there was no chance, and handed the ball to Harden.

This is also the regular picture of the Rockets’ offense this season, once the Rockets players do not run out of the open space, or do not have good opportunities, the offense is left to Harden to solve.

Harden then took a step back for three points under Chen Xu’s defense to give the Rockets the lead.

Seeing this, Chen Xu shook his head, his defense was not negligent, but he was still seized by the other party and threw in. From this point alone, Harden’s step-back three-point is really unsolvable.

However, Chen Xu is not a soft master, and he immediately returned a three-point shot in the next round to regain momentum for the Celtics.

“Ho~! Nice three-point shot! Answerball！ It seems that the two super scorers will give us a wonderful game! ”

“I can also see that although these two have a friendly conversation before the game, you have to die and I live when they go to the game, well… Today we have a blessing in our eyes. ”

Without waiting for the two to finish, Harden burst into the penalty area over there, causing Chen Xu to foul.

Two free throws and two hits, and the Rockets led again.

Then Chen Xu fought back like Harden, also broke into the Rockets penalty area, threw off the defending TJ Tucker, under Capela’s defense, Chen Xu scored the ball, but unfortunately the referee’s whistle did not sound, and did not get a 2+1 opportunity.

“From the opening two rounds, it seems that this match is likely to turn into a singles performance between Chen Xu and Harden.”

“Yes, modern basketball is becoming more and more team-based, and such singles exhibition games have not been staged for a long time.”

Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller, two retired veterans, are excited.

It’s been a long time since they saw it, and they can’t remember the last time the stars of the two teams went against each other.

Unfortunately, Paul doesn’t think so.

In the next round, Paul changed dramatically, and a fake pass Harden attracted the attention of two Celtics defenders, and then he moved his wrist dexterously and passed to TJ Tucker in the bottom corner, but the latter could not score 3 points in the open position.

Seeing this, the Celtics also launched an offensive, and under the leadership of Chen Xu, the Celtics scored consecutive shots, leading the Rockets by 8 points at halftime.

When Harden did not score, Chen Xu also closed the play and tried to make the ball for his teammates, so that he could comprehensively overwhelm the opponent in terms of statistics.
