Rockets ready for 'scrappy' defense of Jazz
By Jonathan Feigen, Houston Chronicle
"Very, very, very good defensive team," Harden said. "Obviously, Rudy Gobert behind them, they're a bunch of scrappy defenders. They funnel everything to Gobert. They make shots tough."
"That series (against the Timberwolves) helped us a little bit in the sense of their big is back and Gobert is going to be back. But defensively, Gobert is better. It kind of prepared us a little bit. I think we're ready for anything. We've seen a lot of different defenses all year. We have ways to attack it."
Harden:「爵士是支非常、非常、非常好的防守球隊,很顯然他們身後有Gobert鎮守防線,他們全隊都是群積極防守的球員,他們會逼你出手的很困難。對戰灰狼的系列賽,對我們有些幫助,因為他們和Gobert一樣也有大個子鎮守防線。但就防守方面,Gobert可是更強。對灰狼系列戰讓我們有所準備,我覺得我們準備好了!這一整年以來,我們遭遇過許多不同型態的防守,我們有辦法破壞爵士防線。」
