Chapter 1075 (1/2)

On December 13, a huge poster of link and harden looking at each other hung outside the FedEx stadium.

This type of poster usually only appears in boxing or other fighting sports.

But today, NBA officials use such posters in basketball games.

The original picture is very simple, this game is not only a strong dialogue between the rockets and Grizzlies, but also a direct confrontation between the first and second MVP prediction rankings!

So far this season, link naturally returns to the top of the MVP rankings with his excellent personal performance and unparalleled team record.

Harden occupied a place in the top five of the MVP rankings last season. After this season's big data explosion, he even surpassed curry and Durant, directly ranked second in the MVP rankings!

Harden's performance this season is obvious to all. It can be said that in terms of personal performance, he is indeed better than the warriors!

Some people even think that if it wasn't for the Grizzlies who won 24 games in a row, even link would have to be behind harden!

To put it bluntly, they think that link's position at the top of the MVP charts is a reflection of the team's record.

Only than his personal performance, Hadden is more outstanding than link!

Therefore, the direct confrontation between Hadden and link has become the biggest point of attention today.

Even the question of which one is better, harden or link, is even more talked about than the winning streak in the opening game.

”This season's James Harden has undoubtedly ushered in the first peak of his career, second in the MVP rankings, and he deserves it! This season, there is no need to elaborate on his destructive power. I'd also like to know if Hadden's data can be extended at the FedEx stadium! ”

Before the game started, Kevin Haran followed today's theme to warm up the fans.

Speaking of it, the Grizzlies' December games are really more exciting.

First warriors, now rockets. There are knights at Christmas and thunder after Christmas.

For Grizzlies, this period of time is really a test of their true strength.

Of course, if the Grizzlies can beat all four opponents, then they will become the only team so far this season to kill the Cavaliers, warriors, rockets and thunder!

In the context of this season, it's a big honor.

In other words, if the Grizzlies win these four teams, they will clean up the biggest troublemakers on their way to the championship!

Of course, that's just the ideal state. The game against the Rockets means that the Grizzlies' challenge this month is just beginning. Four strong opponents, they just met the second.

When James Harden and his teammates stepped into the field, link and Grizzlies were already warming up.

Harden looked at link's back, and the memories came back to him.

One of the most impressive is November 8, 2014.

That day, it was on the head of the rockets that link shot his career high 63 points!

At the time, at Toyota Center, Hadden had done his best to drive the Grizzlies to the brink. As a result, link played a god like performance, forcefully cut off the rocket that was about to launch.

In that game, every shot of link, every goal, seemed to beat Hadden's heart.

It was the worst game of his career!

What about the memory of the Rockets' victory over the Grizzlies? Hardon found that he couldn't find it at all!

But today, harden believes, that memory will be born.

If he can prevent the Grizzlies from winning the opening 25 games in a row, he believes that link will remember it for life.

Before the game began, Mike d'antony laid out his tactics seriously. He hopes that the team will take the advantage as soon as he comes up, and hopes to take the lead in cracking down on the Grizzlies' twin tower threat.

Jokic and Gasol are great, but both of them move slowly.

The Rockets center Clint Capella is not the same, that guy's extremely fast moving speed makes him in the ”pie eating world” is called ”cake king”.

He has no independent offensive ability, but this season has repeatedly cut high scores, relying on a move after the inside cut.

In the cake, little Jordan in front of Capella had to be half a block short.

D'antony's plan is to have Hadden find Capella first and force the Grizzlies down the towers with a powerful impact. As long as the two towers go down, the difficulty of the competition will be reduced by half instantly!

By then, harden will be much more relaxed whether it is sudden or passing. He can control the game as he likes.

Why are there so many assists this season? This is how most of them are fed.

Capella is more obedient than Howard before. Of course, the ability to eat cake is also stronger than Howard after the state of decline.

D'Antoni put the players on the field confidently and believed that he could control the whole trend from the first minute of the game!However, when d'antony saw the Grizzlies' starting five tigers, he was dumbfounded.

From the beginning, the game was different from what he expected!

”Oh? The Grizzlies changed their game today! Coach Joel didn't go to the twin towers and didn't get Tobias Harris back in the starting line-up. He sent Monteith Harrell, his first start of the season

Hobby Brown pondered with interest. He knew that Joel was not a coach who liked to change.

Once, he was ridiculed by fans as ”a set of lineups used to die”.

But this season, this is already the third set of the first round by Joel!

Facts have proved that every time Joel adjusts the starting lineup, he will have an immediate effect. If it wasn't for special needs, Joel would not change his array at will.

The grizzly fans are looking forward to Harrell's debut.

But d'antony, after the shock, soon regained his composure and didn't take it seriously.

He thought, maybe Joel was just trying to confuse himself. Harrell that guy, should be just a fake starting, just a cover!

A no range, no technology, no height position 4, play substitute is the maximum limit.

Putting such people in the starting line-up doesn't really work. D'antony does not believe that the powerful rockets will be forced into a corner by a blue collar short forward.

Link looked at Harrell next to him and patted him on the back.
