The game against the Dallas Mavericks is the third game of the new season for the Houston Rockets. In the first two games that have ended, they have won all of them. It seems that they are still the unstoppable Rockets team from last season's regular season.

Although Carmelo Anthony's performance in the first two games was somewhat unsatisfactory, it seems that he has not yet integrated into the Rockets.

But as long as James Harden and Chris Paul are around, the Houston Rockets will maintain a very strong fighting capacity.

Many people agree with this point.

Therefore, most people are more optimistic about the game against the Dallas Mavericks, including some Mavericks fans.

It’s not that they are spineless and want to watch the Rockets instead of siding with the Mavericks. In fact, on paper, there is a certain gap between the two teams.

Of course, they don't completely give up hope on the Mavericks.

"It has to be Bayonet. If Bayonet can show the same state as last season's playoffs against the Houston Rockets, we may not really have no chance of winning."

Some fans said this.

………

At the American Airlines Center Arena, the game has already started for a while, and judging from the constant cheers from the scene, at least the Mavericks performed well in the opening stages of the game.

Focusing on the court, it's hard to believe that DeAndre Jordan, who has never been known for scoring, is killing it.

As of 5 minutes into the first quarter, Jordan had already scored 10 points. He made five of his first five shots and felt really good tonight.

And if Jordan's hot scoring must be attributed to one hero, then this person can only be the bayonet.

Because among these five shots, he sent two.

When the game started, Jiang Hao took the initiative to tell DeAndre Jordan that the inside will be our opportunity in this game. The advantage of the Houston Rockets is the backcourt. Capela in the inside can't compete with you DeAndre Jordan, so, you will

It's the key to dealing with the Houston Rockets, at least in the beginning.

Jordan was a little flattered. He didn't expect that Bayonet, the leader of the team, would take the initiative to play for him. Therefore, even if he tried his best, he still had to form a deterrent on the inside.

But everything was fine, God was on his side as expected.

When the game started, the Mavericks passers led by Bayonet tried their best to hand the ball to the inside for processing. This really caught the Houston Rockets off guard. Originally, in the view of Houston Rockets head coach D'Antoni, Bayonet

After being called the core of the Lone Ranger, he will definitely have the power, play very independently, and try his best to complete the finish by himself.

In this case, the package he prepared for Bayonet was a wheel battle defense. In other words, in D'Antoni's tactical arrangement, as long as they restricted Bayonet in this game, the game would become very simple.

However, what was unexpected was that the bayonet did not affect the game in the way he pretended, but instead acted as the axis of the team instead of the terminator.

D'Antoni's face turned gloomy on the sidelines. This bayonet was too cunning, and he was caught off guard at the beginning.

2517!

When the game was officially suspended in the first quarter, the Mavericks, playing at home, actually had an 8-point lead, which many people did not expect before the game.

Because it is recognized by the league that if you want to win against a team like the Houston Rockets, you must not be defeated by the Houston Rockets on the offensive end in the first game.

"Bayoto plays with his brain. Although his playing style is sharp, he is also very smart. In other words, his golf IQ is very high. On the court, he is like a fox, very cunning."

"The Houston Rockets rarely encounter them at the beginning of the game. There is no way. For them, it is difficult to expect Capela to have an advantage in the confrontation with DeAndre Jordan. Therefore, this game is not for them.

It’s not as easy to win as imagined.”

Kenny Smith made a relatively fair review.

During the timeout, Rick Carlisle praised and affirmed Jiang Hao's tactical arrangements at the beginning of the game. He increasingly felt that Jiang Hao was amazing. A 21-year-old second-year rookie could show such a terrifying ability to read the game on the court.

This is really incredible.

After the timeout, the game continued. With the Dallas Mavericks replacing Harris Barnes with Trevor Ariza, the Houston Rockets could only completely shift their offensive hopes to the outside.

Because for D'Antoni, although he replaced Carmelo Anthony on the court, he will never pin the team's offensive hopes on Anthony.

Sure enough, as the game continued, James Harden gradually acted as an offensive terminator, and he frequently exerted force on the outside.

Faced with this situation, both Luka Doncic and Dwight Powell were somewhat helpless.

Because as we all know, James Harden is not only one of the top scorers in the league, but his ability to draw fouls is also excellent. When ordinary defensive players are in front of him, it is obvious that they are giving him points.

Led by James Harden, the Houston Rockets quickly hit a wave of offensive climax, and their 8-point lead disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As a last resort, Rick Carlisle also requested a timeout.

During the timeout, Rick Carlisle asked about Trevor Ariza. He hoped that Trevor Ariza could guard James Harden.

Because as a very good defensive player, Trevor Ariza was the man who once guarded Kobe Bryant, and he was once a teammate with James Harden in the Houston Rockets, and he also has some offensive habits like James Harden.

From what I know, letting him guard Harden is a good choice.

Trevor Ariza nodded and defended the opponent's offensive arrow. This is what he has done most in his entire career.

"Boss, let me do it"

However, at this moment, Bayonet spoke, and he actually volunteered to defend James Harden.

"There is no need to change the offense. You should give the ball to DeAndre as much as possible. And Luka, you can also give the ball to Trevor. Trevor, you can try your best to find open balls on the outside."

Since Jiang Hao took the initiative to defend James Harden, Rick Carlisle naturally responded 100%, because Jiang Hao himself has top-notch defensive capabilities, which was fully demonstrated when he defended Stephen Curry in the Western Conference Finals last season.
