366 Test Water Rockets
The Warriors won the Nets, which was not surprising. In fact, the Warriors were still quite struggling to win this game. After the first half, they only led the opponent by four points 6-4. These four points were directly caught up after Carter returned in the second half. It was not until the middle of the fourth quarter that the Warriors established a double-digit lead and finally won eight points with 22l14.
Of course, this result was unexpected. As Kidd went away from Dallas, Texas, the Nets began to go downhill. The era of the former outside giants - Kidd, Carter and Jefferson was over. Kidd was sent away last season, and Jefferson went to the Bucks in the summer, leaving only one Carter standing alone in New Jersey.
This is also the reason why Carter made a crazy attack in the first quarter, and he had no idea of venting his vent.
Old Nelson kept changing coaches. Chamberlain only played for 24 minutes for two quarters, and Billups also played for 24 minutes. Everyone had a chance. Ibaka went up and competed with Yi Jianlian for a while, but didn't get much advantage and ran down.
Today's Yi Jianlian was a surprise for the Bucks. He made a long shot from high and a low dunk, made 13 shots in total, scoring 3 points, and there were attacking and a big hat. His performance made Chinese reporters on the sidelines ecstatic. The next day, all kinds of crazy titles were born:
"Chinese Double Stars Shine the Game, Chinese Basketball Rise is Promising"
"Space will dominate the Nets' penalty area, New Jersey is safer"
"Carter's firepower remains unabated, UAE is full of murderous aura"
"New starting point, new goal, UAE's excellent performance annoys the Bucks"
Chamberlain scored points in this game, with a large double-double of 18 rebounds. Yi Jianlian's rebound was still his disadvantage, with only 6 scores. He bounced, wingspan and awareness, but he couldn't stand the cruel fighting in the inside. Winnie made a technical transformation for this, allowing him to transfer and pass the ball more at high positions. This move is very useful. Yi Jianlian's organizational talent was perfectly released, which can make up for his rebounding shortcomings to a certain extent.
The game with the Nets is just a small fight, and the Warriors' second game is the focus. One day later, the players will play again, and this time they will fight the Rockets.
The Rockets are also very interesting. Since they got Yao and Mai, they have to compete for the championship every season. They can’t even see the championship every season. The Rockets’ media is very good at hyping up. As long as there are big deals in the league, they will have their shadows, which makes domestic fans now annoyed when they see the Rockets’ trading news.
However, the Rockets did make trading efforts this summer, and they made great moves:
On the draft day, the Rockets sent out this year's No. 2 rookie French swimmer Batum in exchange for No. 2 rookie Dante Green, No. 33 rookie Joey Dorsey, and the second round pick next year of the Grizzlies. In this way, the Rockets gained a lot in this year's draft: the second pick is rookie Dante Green, 33 rookie Joey Dorsey, and Marty Rooney, 54 pick.
Of course, none of these rookies are lottery shows, and their potential is limited, that is, their combat power is even more equal to none. So in order to make the championship dream, the Rockets began to trade frequently in the summer.
In July 1st, Spurs free agent veteran Brent Barry joined the Rockets for 2 years and $300,000.
On B.B. 6, the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers will reach a deal, and the Rockets will send Novak, who is currently in an extended contract period, while the Clippers will pay a second-round draft priority.
On B/2, the Suns traded sophomore guard B Trobery from the Houston Rockets for rookie Sean Singertra.
On September 1, the Rockets sent Ewing Jr. and got the signing rights of French center Weiss.
On September 2, the Rockets followed up with the Bobcats' offer to restricted player Landry for 300,000 yuan, successfully retaining the inside player - UU0 million, 2626 signings, 2ll summer expiration, 210 summer team options.
On September 2, the Rockets completed the signing contract with rookie forward Joey Doch, and the two sides reached an agreement to sign a four-year contract of 300,000 yuan, which will be the team's option for the next two years.
However, these transactions are all small fuss. The real big deal is at the end of August. The Rockets got an All-Star forward, the famous tough guy Ron He Tester
The Kings used forward Artest two rookies Ewing Jr. and Sean Singerry to trade with the Rockets. All they got was veteran Jackson and rookie Green, a draft pick in the 209 Rockets plus $1 million.
After this deal appeared, media from all over the country sighed, saying that the Rockets robbed the Kings and they won the last part of the championship puzzle.
Before the Celtics HI6 mode appeared, the league teams had always played cards where internal and external superstars joined forces to win the championship: for example, the Shark O'Neal and Kobe, the AI and Mutombo, the Duncan and Parker, the S and Nash, the Nowitzki and Kidd, and counting further ahead, the Garnett and Marbury, etc.
The Rockets also play this idea. Don’t think that Alexander only wants to make money but not the championship. Of course, he wins the championship to make money better. If Yao Ming can make it to the finals or even become a PNVP, it will of course be more valuable. Alexander understands this, so he always hopes that General Manager Morey can strengthen the team while trying to save money.
For this goal, Morey kept patching up the Rockets: if there is a lack of defensive experts on the outside, he would use his potential to show Rudy Guy for Bathir; if Yao Ming did not have a substitute, he would sign Mutombo; if there was no one in the power forward position, he would train the powerful Argentinian Scola.
Such a seam patching means dismantling the east wall to make up for the west wall. It depends on the Rockets' lineup. However, every season starts, especially in the playoffs where real swords and guns are fighting hard, the Rockets are often slaughtered, especially the Jazz, who plays the Rockets. The Rockets fell under the Jazz's butcher knife twice in the playoffs, which really makes Rockets fans heartbroken.
Learning from the pain, after several seasons of discussion, whether it is fans, media or experts, they finally think they have found something that the Rockets really lack: hard bones.
The Rockets are known as the strong team in the regular season and the weak team in the playoffs. Even in the regular season, they are best at, they often collapse in the fourth quarter. Why is this happening? After studying the Rockets' uniform team, they came to the conclusion that our team is too soft. Look at the leading brothers Yao Ming and McGrady, they are both good people. How can this be done in the NHA that can be replaced by tigers and wolves.
Alexander was also anxious because he finally gritted his teeth and let go of his wallet this summer, telling Morey, you can do it with confidence and get me a guy who can really make the team break through.
Morey is also a master. As soon as he operates, he doesn't spend much money. Artest is here
Artest's peak was in the 20304 season. At that time, he won the best defensive player as an outside player and entered the All-Star continuously. His defense and courage made the opponents suffer. You should know that in NHA history, there are not many people who can win the best defensive player as an outside player. Apart from Jordan and Payton, who else?
Although Artest gradually faded out of the media's vision, it was not because of his decline in ability. This guy is as strong as a bull, and his competitive level has always maintained a considerable level. It was just because of the Auburn Palace Fight that made him much lower-key.
The Rockets' acquisition of Artest this time made Rockets fans ecstatic: Artest brought too much to this team, tough defense, continuous firepower at critical moments, team backbone, etc.
Therefore, in the eyes of fans and media, the Rockets have become the team that won the championship this season.
However, the Warriors don't have many people optimistic about it because their lineup is equivalent to not being strengthened. What other actions do they have besides signing rookies and renewing Ellis? Chamberlain will grow, but a person's strength is limited after all, and they lack the second pole. In the eyes of the media, the low-key Billups and the mad dog West are not the second pole.
As for Alice? Haha, that's a funny guy. Before the season started, this guy was injured on a motorcycle. It would be fine if he was injured. He even deceived the team and said he was injured in practicing football.
Although the Nets and Warriors game excited fans, the impact is much worse than the Rockets and Warriors game.
The cheers of players from both sides deafening the tsunami of the players entered the court, and Chamberlain and others were deafening. Even Billups and others, who were used to being crazy fans of Miami, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City, couldn't help but grin.
Artest is a crazy person. As the saying goes, people are crazy. The fans scream and scream. Chamberlain couldn't help rolling his eyes. Curry, Ibaka, and Moro three rookies cringed together timidly. The three of them looked at each other. Moro said nodded: "This feels so good, the fans are more enthusiastic than NCAAO."
Jackson pulled Morrow over his shoulder and said carelessly: "I have never seen the Texas country bumpkin. We watched the finals here in August, which was crazy. Do you know what is responsible for security? It's pLAj who fought with the Dahong First Division in North Korea."
Because of Yao Ming and Chamberlain, the relationship between both sides is good. In the Olympics, more than half of the Warriors came to support the show, and Yao Ming also invited them to dinner. So after entering the game, the two sides got together, greeted each other, and talked with each other.
The starting lineup sent by the Rockets are center Yao Ming, power forward Scola, small forward Artest, organizational defender Alstom, and shooting guard McGrath.
The Warriors' starting lineup has changed, center Chamberlain, power forward Al Harrington, small forward Matt Barnes, organizational defender Billups, and shooting guard Jackson.
Old Nelson is known as a mad scientist, so it is impossible to expect his lineup to remain unchanged, especially in preseason, in the words of EpNR, ‘Even if we see him let him sit on the bench, we don’t have to be surprised.
The referee blew the whistle to signal the players to enter the field. Chamberlain and Yao Ming stood at the midfield line and waited for the jump ball. He looked back and saw McGrady standing next to him. It was obvious that compared to last season, McGrady was now fatter, and the angular muscles on his arms disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of fat meat.
Chamberlain laughed and teased McGrady: "TNA, can you tell me it's summer or winter?"
McGrady rolled her eyes - it was fun to roll her eyes with sleepy eyes. Although she didn't understand Chamberlain's words, he knew it was definitely not a good thing, so she didn't answer. Jackson was very bad. He knew that McGrady would abuse him later, so he took revenge in advance, so he cooperated with Chamberlain and said: "Of course it's summer. My skin is tanned by the bitch. Look, how dark it is."
It's really dark, like coke, Scola sighed in his heart, but when will you ever have your skin white?
After Jackson finished speaking, Chamberlain laughed and said, "I thought it was winter. Didn't TNAC just woke up from hibernation?"
The Warriors players all laughed, and Artest, a fool, laughed loudly. It was true that McGrady was sleepy and had gained so much weight in summer. It really tasted that he was hibernating.
"I will torture you to death, man, just laugh now." McGrady said harsh words to Jackson, the latter's laughter came to an abrupt end, and the others laughed even harder.
The competition begins.
