At halftime, the Trail Blazers trailed the Mosaics by two points, 48:50.

Harden's performance continued to shine in this quarter, scoring 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting. In addition to the 10 points in the first quarter, Harden scored 23 points in the half, breaking his previous career scoring record of 21 points in a half.

"James Harden of the Mosaic team has scored 23 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 turnovers and 2 fouls tonight. To win, he can be said to have given everything he had."

Director Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

Before the game, Mosaic was generally the underdog. They had already been double-killed by the Trail Blazers, and they both led by a big score.

"And Harden only rested for two minutes in the first half. It's really hard to imagine what kind of desire for victory can make a person who is born with asthma play so persistently." Coach Ma said.

On the Mosaic bench, Harden looked at his statistics... 23 points?

This is not enough!

The bright scoreboard spurs Harden all the time. The Trail Blazers are indeed very strong, and he still has a lot to do.

…

"I have to say that the little fat guy Houston selected has really good offensive talent, but he is only a little bit behind the great Sir Charles!"

Barkley said shit.

"Hahaha!"

Kenny Smith laughed, noncommittal.

Although Barkley flatters himself a bit, this is indeed reality.

Both are fourth graders. Harden averaged only 25 points per game in his fourth grade, while Barkley, as a short inside man, has averaged 28 points per game, ranking fourth in the league.

Judging from the first few years of his career, Barkley is far from comparable to Harden. The former is a big man who averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game as a sophomore.

At this stage, Harden, who left the Thunder and was promoted to the boss, has just shown his potential and seems to have a bright future, but few people think that the bearded man will become an MVP-level superstar in the future.

In this regard, Harden is really similar to Bay Area elementary school students in some ways - neither was considered promising in the early stages of his career!

Trail Blazers bench.

"Weiss, did you spend too much energy on women last night? You actually let your opponent score 23 points on you!" All the Batums around looked at the Mosaic team and muttered: "

If you can't do it, take your place and see if I don't lock up that little fat guy!"

"Asshole, stop irritating me!" Matthews said with strong fighting spirit in his eyes: "I'll let you see how tough I am when I get on the field!"

"Don't just take off your pants, do something practical!"

Batum retorted.

"Hahaha!"

"That's right, Weiss, you have to stay calm!"

Although they are lagging behind, the Blazers generally still have an optimistic attitude.

Isn't it just a little mustache?

Deal with him!

Can it still change the world?

…

The game restarts with Mosaic attack.

Harden made a gesture at a 45-degree angle on the left. Asik came out to pick and roll. Harden used the screen and broke into the basket again.

The unstoppable offensive end allowed Harden to gradually swell up, ignore the crowd under the basket, and rush in after taking the ball.

No. 36 on the opposite side has already committed three fouls. I don't believe he dares to block the shot with all his strength.

The number of fouls in the half reached three, making Harden bolder in the penalty area guarded by Wang Zelin.

I'm going to dunk on your head!

Harden made a judgment in his mind, crossed Aldridge's defense, and immediately took off with a tomahawk dunk, heading towards the Trail Blazers' basket.

At this moment.

Harden's vision suddenly went dark, and a loud "pop" penetrated his eardrums.

Am I covered?

How dare he take off?

It's just a regular season game. Are you so serious?

Harden took a closer look and was shocked because the person who blocked his ball was none other than the Blazers' No. 36.

"You are thinking too much!"

Lillard succeeded in a fast break and equalized the score, when a voice came from above.

It’s number 36!

"The king has succeeded in getting James Harden. He is an omnipotent god of war, guarding the Blazers' penalty area all the time." Director Zhang roared.

"If you can guard me, can you also guard my teammates?"

The Mosaic team attacked. As the core leader of the offensive organization, Harden hit the ground at the right time and passed the ball straight into the heart of the Trail Blazers.

"Tall, rich and handsome" Parsons received the ball and started a layup.

Batum was blocked by Asik and his reaction was a beat slower.

When Parsons received the ball and took off in the paint, Wang Zelin took off at the same time.

"Snapped!"

There was another loud noise~that yellow palm again!

"Another merciless ban!"

Director Zhang’s furious commentary sounded again.

Asik reacted promptly, grabbed the offensive rebound, held the ball with both hands, put it over his head, and took off confidently.

Pa~

Wang Zelin, who had just landed, immediately jumped up high and pressed his palm on the basketball in Asik's hand.

Wang Zelin, who didn't record a single block in the first half, instantly blocked two shots in one round.

“Damn it!!!! I still don’t believe it!!!!”

Asker got another half in the frontcourt, and then shot from the basket again.

"I'm afraid this guy is not Shi Lezhi!"

While complaining in his heart, Wang Zelin's body was not idle. He bent his knees slightly and rose into the air again.

This time it's different.

Wang Zelin put one hand on the rising basketball and grabbed it brutally.

"Oh my god~ what did I see? Hat grabbing~ It was an extremely brutal hat grabbing!!!"

Barkley held his head in his hands and shook it rapidly.

"I seriously suspect that Asik of Team Mosaic is most likely an undercover agent!"

Kenny Smith complained.

Three consecutive blocks in one round ~ I seriously doubt you are playing me.

Harden, who was watching Wang Zelin's hot pot feast from the sidelines, was completely speechless.

What kind of magical teammates are these~

I am so tired!

"run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three players in black jerseys began to run wildly across the field, with the target in the Mosaic penalty area.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the end, Aldridge made an easy layup with Batum's pass.

At 52:48, the Trail Blazers achieved the lead for the first time in this game.

"Old bird, thank you for your gift!"

"Also, despite the fact that people in China have always been modest, I really hope there can be more of this kind of thing."

After getting the advantage, Wang Zelin did not forget to behave well, and his deep ridicule made Asik's heart bleed.

"You bastard, why should I mess with you?"

Asik couldn't bear it anymore and completely exploded. Without Wang Zelin's defense, he pushed Wang Zelin's chest violently. The latter took five or six steps back and had to support the ground with his hands to stop his falling body.

"What the hell do you want to do? You bastard!"

When Matthews saw this, he ran over immediately.

Lillard, Batum, and Aldridge in the other half noticed that the situation was not good and strode straight in. None of the Mosaic players in front of them dared to come.
