Not only Charles Barkley in the TNT live broadcast room was angry. At this time, at the Toyota Center, many home fans were not only disappointed with James Harden's performance, but also questioned D'Antoni's tactics. The fans and Charles Barkley had the same problems.

That is, since you know that James Harden is not good at defense, but you still let him face the bayonet? Isn’t this obvious gift?

But in fact, D'Antoni had trouble at this time.

He didn't want James Harden to defend Jiang Hao at all, but James Harden himself insisted on doing this.

"I'm here to face the bayonet. I really don't want to see Chris being provoked and humiliated by a rookie. You know, this is no longer about Chris's honor alone."

This is the reason given by James Harden.

Obviously, James Harden's dissatisfaction with Chris Paul reached a peak.

D'Antoni could not refuse James Harden's volunteer.

On the one hand, if he rejects James Harden, he will indirectly encourage James Harden not to defend.

On the other hand, if you have to stand on the side of the conflict between James Harden and Chris Paul, he can only stand on the side of James Harden, because an obvious fact is that when he stands on the side of James Harden, his head coach position can still be retained, but if he stands on the side of Chris Paul, it is not necessarily true. This is the reality.

In the NBA, there are two types of head coaches, one is San Antonio Spurs Greg Popovich, who has absolutely no provocation authority in the team.

Another type is D'Antoni, and the head coach needs to look at the face of the star.

On the Houston Rockets' bench, James Harden's face looked a little ugly. He didn't expect that after a year, the bayonet's offensive ability has improved by more than one level. In other words, he did not do his best to defend just now, but he shouldn't have been completely defeated by the bayonet.

At the same time, James Harden also felt that this was not just his own problem. He once again pointed his finger at Chris Paul.

In his opinion, in the process of defending against the bayonet just now, Chris Paul, as the team's engine, did not make any more contributions to the team's offense and defense.

So, at this time, he made another request to D'Antoni, that is, he did not want him and Chris Paul to appear on the court in the next game.

James Harden's meaning is very simple, that is, he brings one lineup to play, and Chris Paul brings another lineup to play.

When James Harden made his suggestion, Chris Paul unexpectedly chose to agree after frowning slightly. Obviously, when James Harden was tired of partnering with Chris Paul, Chris Paul was also tired of partnering with James Harden.

D'Antoni's head is big.

It seems that this is a perfect division of labor, but this division of labor is based on absolute success. It can be imagined that once this game is lost, it will lead to greater contradictions within the team.

However, D'Antoni had to follow James Harden's advice.

Throughout his entire coaching career as D'Anthony, he has worked with many superstars, and both Steve Nash during the Phoenix Suns and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers told him the same truth, that is, try not to get right with superstars.

So, after the timeout came back, people found that the Houston Rockets chose to change the formation.

The second leader of the team, Chris Paul, sat on the bench, and a lineup led by James Harden continued to play.

At the point of the counter bayonet, there has also been a change. James Harden is no longer defending the bayonet, but has become the "Nine-fingered God General" Gerald Green.

"There is no doubt that Gerald Green has shown us more than once that he is a tough guy. I won't question his defensive attitude, but to be honest, I don't think he can limit the bayonets."

The Houston Rockets' lineup adjustment made Charles Barkley's eyes lit up, but he immediately said.

The game continued, James Harden's European step breakthrough layup helped the Rockets get a valuable 2 points, and the difference changed from 4 points to 6 points.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hao chose to carry the ball from the backcourt to advance, so he was defended by Gerald Green just after crossing the center line.

Gerald Green.

Another inspirational model of nba, Jiang Hao certainly heard of it.

But that's all, he has achieved confidence in this moment. When facing Gerald Green, he will never be fearless or hesitate.

Gerald Green has a defensive end. He did put some pressure on Jiang Hao, and even almost made Jiang Hao lose the ball at the free throw line. However, with his terrifying reaction ability, Jiang Hao still completed the redemption and completed the shooting against Gerald Green's defense.

A bayonet with a hot feel cannot be stopped.

The home fans sighed at this time. Judging from the offensive round just now, it was obvious that Gerald Green had tried his best, but he still failed to stop the bayonet from scoring.

In fact, at this time, for Gerald Green himself on the court, his pressure was also suddenly increasing.

He is under great pressure to play against bayonets, such as the famous Manchurian League scorer. After personally experiencing the difficulty of playing against him, he will feel even more terrifying.

The Bayonet is worthy of being the most striking superstar in the league in the past two seasons. His power on the offensive end is simply devastating.

Perhaps in addition to being dissatisfied with Chris Paul, James Harden is also a heartwarming team leader.

In this round, after Gerald Green failed to successfully limit the bayonet's score, he did not blame Gerald Green, but took the initiative to go forward and communicate with the latter. James Harden told Gerald Green that he just needed to do his best.

This scene happened to be fully captured by Chris Paul on the bench. His fists couldn't help but clench. Chris Paul was really getting more and more annoyed and disappointed with the team led by James Harden.

Although Gerald Green failed to limit the bayonet on the defensive end, he turned around and made contributions on the offensive end.

James Harden broke through and passed the ball and took the initiative to find Gerald Green at the bottom corner on the left.

Then Gerald Green took the knife and helped the Rockets score 3 points.

Gerald Green, who hit the shot, roared deeply, and he felt much better.
