Vol 3 Chapter 415: When Harden feels

Before Christmas in 2018, the Thunder reaped another victory at home.
　　 Lost Butler's Timberwolves, even if they have the youngest MVP-Rose, this season has fallen to the end of the Western Conference. The performance of the two talented new stars in the team is still half-dead. As a result, neither Towns nor Wiggins paid close attention to this season's 50+ career-high scoring, and regained the second spring of Ross Gao. Butler's toughness has given this team hope, but management needs the future.
　　 However, in this game, they rarely played a side.
　　 The absence of Teague and Rose made Wiggins the central figure to carry the Timberwolves outside attack. Of course, he should have played this role originally. It's just that Wiggins, who wants to be low-key, doesn't like to show off in the game. In this game, two brothers sat on the bench in suits and ties, and he had to stand up.
　　 In this game, Wiggins played 43 minutes and scored 36 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. When Towns only played 28 minutes due to the number of fouls, he steadily carried the team up. Wiggins has used many performances to prove that he is value for money whether he is draft or getting a big contract.
　　 However, in this game, it was the Thunder that had the last laugh. They fell behind for 45 minutes and completed the process of falling behind, equalizing and overtaking in the last 3 minutes. During this time, Paul George made great contributions. A breakthrough to the basket to beat Towns's two-plus-one, an elegant three-pointer made under Covington's defense, and a chasing cap against Wiggins. At least in the last 3 minutes, Paul George dominated both offense and defense!
　　 Unfortunately, after the game, Paul George found that his shoulders became uncomfortable. This makes Donovan nervous! After all, Paul George's shoulders have always been problematic. Fortunately, after a detailed examination by the team doctor, it was determined that the problem was not serious. However, you still need to rest for a week.
　　 This injury also missed the upcoming Christmas War. Coincidentally, their opponent Houston Rockets' Chris Paul also missed the game due to injury. It's fair that both sides missed a Paul.
　　 Every time the Thunder meets the Rockets, there is a feeling of meeting old friends. This feeling became stronger after An Luo arrived in Houston. The longer he stays in the NBA, the more he feels how precious it was to win the NCAA National Championship in Houston. The purest basketball, tenacious struggle, immature technology, but still the fiercest collision at the beginning. Perhaps in the hearts of many people, that is the real basketball.
　　 The Christmas War has always been the most eye-catching game in the NBA regular season. On such a night, watching a hearty game with my family is great for those who love the fans. Of course, for players, this is not necessarily a beautiful thing. As the only league in the four major leagues in North America that uses the Christmas game as a fixed schedule, there will always be many players who cannot escape the fate of "overtime" during the festival.
　　 But I have to admit that, compared to the long season and thousands of regular season games in the NBA, the Christmas game is always exceptionally exciting. There are probably only the openers of each season that can be compared to the games that are a little bit comparable to that of Billen.
　　 The Thunder game started in the first few games of the day.
　　 The Toyota Center, which was originally a red tone, has become more festive. Inside and outside the arena, you can feel a strong festive atmosphere. Several key bears became Santa Claus tonight, giving the fans who came to the arena some small gifts such as candies. The cheerleaders in cool clothes danced enthusiastically in the center of the court, and the atmosphere was fiery.
　　 But after the game started, the players of the home team felt the same cold weather as the weather in Houston. The star James Harden was not as brave as he was when he bragged Westbrook and Anlow before the game. Of course, Harden did act very bravely. In the last game, he scored 51 points in 30 minutes! In the past period of time, the Rockets have been advancing all the way, rushing from the penultimate position in the West to the top eight. Among them, Harden's brave performance is indispensable. Score more than 30+ in 6 consecutive games, including 40+ in two games and 50+ in one. Now in the scoring list, Harden has surpassed Anlo.
　　 Perhaps it was not enjoying this important holiday, which made Harden a little unhappy. The above is the three-pointer, the three-pointer, the iron! It made An Luo Du very unaccustomed.
　　 "Man, do you want Russell to invite you to the club again?"
　　 An Luo faced Harden with the ball and couldn't help but joke. In the summer, these guys always like to get together and single out. The winning party asks everyone to have fun. Of course, An Luo has never won it once ~EbookFREE.me~ He pounded the ball under his crotch, An Luo stepped back on the spot, pulled up and shot the ball. Harden's defense has become much better this season, but it doesn't mean that he forgot to use his eyes on defense. Just like this time, An Luo's shot was easy.
　　 In general, the Thunder's game in Houston kicked off with a fairly relaxed pace. And the following games have always been in the rhythm of the Thunder.
　　 If there are no twists and turns, the Thunder will easily take away a victory away. So, this year's Christmas War is also pretty good. But for the home team, such a result is unbearable.
　　 So, Harden ran away! Unexpectedly, it made sense.
　　 From the second half of the third quarter, Harden got right. Just like a sniper holding an AWM, he had been aiming with the naked eye before, but suddenly he found an eight-fold mirror.
　　 And, Harden's three-pointer, breakthrough and free throws also followed! Even if An Luo had already guarded the opponent's face, he could not prevent the opponent from scoring.
　　 Of course, the Thunder can double-team. And they did that too. But players like Harden are often waiting for their opponents to double-team. Whether it's Anthony or Gordon or Rivers, these people are able to score with the ball when they catch the gap!
　　 After Harden's touch came, the situation of the game changed dramatically. The Thunder's offense has also been affected. The momentum is very mysterious! And the current game is like this, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
