Harden violated the rules for 8 seconds before halftime, and Lu was stunned on the sidelines
On January 30, it was reported that in the NBA regular season held today, the Clippers played away against the Cavaliers. In this game, Clippers player James Harden sleepwalked in the half, and even had a slow and leisurely backcourt dribble for 8 seconds, which made head coach Lu look confused!
In the NBA regular season, the Clippers trailed the Cavaliers 52-56 at halftime.
In the first half, Clippers star Harden played 19 minutes, shooting 1 of 4, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, and got 4 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.
With 58 seconds left in the first half, the Cavaliers led by one point at 53-52, with Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue replacing the small card, and Coffey sent a throw-in from the sideline to hand the ball to Harden.
Harden started a wave of slow and leisurely grandfather-style dribbling, unhurried, and the Cavaliers players did not come forward to press, whatever he carried.
Just as Harden was dribbling the ball past the midfield, suddenly, the referee blew the whistle and awarded Harden an 8-second violation, which means that Harden had possessed the ball in the backcourt for more than 8 seconds. In this regard, Harden also looked surprised, not believing that he really controlled the ball for 8 seconds.
And Clippers coach Tyronn Lue on the sidelines is even more confused, which can also be 8 seconds?
In this regard, netizens have said, "Harden and George are really sleeping dragons and phoenixes in the first half"
"I don't have enough focus. This kind of mistake really shouldn't be!"
"Harden Plumlee made too many turnovers and hasn't scored in a long time"
"This hangs like a child, Harden didn't pass half half in 8 seconds, and Harden walked 8 seconds in the half"
"This Harden was slow and leisurely in the half, and the breakthrough was also slipping around to find a rhythm, going to the basket to help Mann, and running. In fact, Rivers' idea was to make Pickle Pepper a 3-and-D player, focusing on off-ball, but there was no passing master like Harden at that time. Does he think Lowe can, or Beverly? There are ideas, but they don't fit into reality. When you have the ball, you can pass the half in 8 seconds, start in 8 seconds, and finish in 24 seconds. Now Kajiao is just attacking and defending, no need to deal with the ball, no need to break through, and the health is really good."
"As far as the half court is concerned, the second rebound is too hurtful, the second offensive score in the half is 3:15, I miss Azu's day, what are you doing in the last few rounds before halftime, the team has 4 consecutive turnovers and 8 seconds of violations. Playing a team with such height, long arms, and great athleticism, you have to stay focused. The whole team is stuck in a stable output. Deng Ge didn't feel good, 4 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block in the half!"
