One Hundred and Thirty. Rapid Change of Direction Skills on the Move!
For the Rockets, No. 0 Aaron Brooks, No. 1 Trevor Ariza, No. 31 Sean Battier, No. 4 Luis Scola, and No. 11 Yao Ming made their debut.
For the Warriors, No. 3 Sun Ce, No. 30 Stephen Curry, No. 55 Reggie Williams, No. 4 Anthony Randolph, and No. 15 Andres Biedrins made their debut.
Sun Ce came to a point outside the free throw line, and looked at the man who claimed to be 1.83 meters waiting for the jump ball on the opposite side of the three-point line—today's opponent...Aaron Brooks!
A lot of pressure!
As for Yao Ming... Sun Ce can't be compared with Yao Ming at all, let his teammates bear the pain!
Yao Ming and Biedrins came to the middle circle. At 6:30, 9:30 Beijing time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time and threw the ball into the air...
At the beginning of the game, Biedrins still had to be active, take off with all his strength, and push the ball backward...
The fans were very face-saving and immediately cheered. Sun Ce received the ball and sprinted forward, but was intercepted by Ariza!
Ariza did not retreat immediately, but came up and gave Sun Ce a physical contact!
Sun Ce's most outstanding point is his speed of the ball, immediately and quickly pass the ball to Curry.
Curry is just past the center line, Battier sticks up, Curry dribbles beautifully laterally, trying to get rid of Battier, but Battier keeps up! Excellent prediction!
The Rockets' defensive awareness is great! It is indeed a strong defensive team ranked in the top five in the league in terms of defensive predictions! A block fast break, a half-court pressing and oppression, easily blocked the Warriors' double point guard opening fast break.
With Ariza and Battier, the Rockets are stronger than last season in terms of defense against fast breaks!
However, Curry, like Sun Ce, is not the type of sticking to the ball. His angry right leg stretched forward to force Battier to avoid blocking fouls and take a step back, gaining space for passing the ball. The inside left leg flew out and passed to Reggie Williams who ran to the left of the three-second zone.
An aggressive pass!
Reggie Williams catches the ball and takes a mid-range shot against Brooks' weak defense...in!
A-level three-pointers, B-level mid-range shots, and A-level layups, Reggie Williams' offensive skills are very comprehensive! Brooks claimed that his height of 1.83 meters could not interfere with Reggie Williams' mid-range shot.
The Warriors started off with a good first attack! Three rookies dare to play!
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers,
The Rockets felt the enthusiasm of the three rookies on the opponent's first offense.
However, this did not affect the Rockets. Yao Ming scored a goal as soon as he retreated to the three-point line, and he turned and ran towards the frontcourt helplessly.
Yao Ming was deeply impressed by Sun Ce's fast ball when he was blocked... There is no way, after playing for so long in international competitions with those domestic guards who have difficulty dribbling past half court with NBA stars, Yao Ming feels very impressed by Sun Ce's fast ball. excited.
Now that you're excited, hit one!
After Yao Ming came to the frontcourt, he entered the inside line and went directly to the right sideline of the three-second zone to lean on Biedrins for the ball.
Sun Ce watched Brooks press the rhythm and push forward. He thought that Brooks would do it himself, but Sun Ce's impression of Brooks was that he was too unique, outrageously unique.
But that was in the original time and space when Yao Ming was reimbursed and Ariza was embarrassing. The Rockets let Brooks play. Now there is Yao Ming. When Yao Ming is physically strong, of course he will play for Yao Ming. Brooks lobbed the ball to the guy who blocked Biedrins. Yao Ming.
Terrible!
Biedrins' weight of 109 kg is not bad. After all, he is a flexible center, but he is like a paper man in front of Yao Ming. Yao Ming knocked Biedrins away in twos and fiercely smashed the ball into the basket basket!
When Yao Ming dunked the ball in, Biedrins sat down on the ground...
Biedrins quickly got up and picked up the ball and passed it to Sun Ce. Yao Ming was already struggling to run back.
Just as Sun Ce received the ball and was about to counterattack, a hand stretched out. Sun Ce subconsciously grabbed the ball with one hand and turned his body sideways to lift the ball to the rear right. It turned out to be Brooks...
Sun Ce heard for the first time that 1.96 meters can be a head taller than 1.83 meters. This time he encountered it. Brooks bent his knees a little, just reaching the neck height of Sun Ce who was standing straight.
The defensive system left by Jeff Van Gundy is still there. The Rockets even have Brooks as a defensive black hole. He has fast speed and good flexibility.
The Rockets did not switch defenses this time. They clearly judged that after the switch, Brooks was basically useless in one-on-one defense. Trevor Ariza followed up with Curry, and Battier followed up with Reggie Williams.
"These strong teams are too much! Why are you so serious!"
Seeing Brooks who retreated back after failing to press down, Sun Ce pushed forward while complaining.
The Rockets played very seriously on the road! Rockets players like playing away games the most.
Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt and watched Brooks' defensive steps, which was unexpectedly good!
Brooks has a very active defensive attitude and good defensive awareness, but his flaw is fatal, that is, his body!
Give that a try!
After passing the center line, Sun Ce began to accelerate!
Brooks saw Sun Ce speeding up and running towards his left front. The speed was getting faster and faster. Brooks was surprised that he was almost 20 centimeters taller than him, and it was the same as what the little giant said!
But what Brooks is best at is speed! followed closely.
There was no big obstacle for Sun Ce to rush to the free throw line. Brooks didn't think about using his body to block. There is no player in the NBA who can stop him. He quickly retreated to the left rear with his speed and followed steadily.
really! Sun Ce felt that he couldn't get rid of Brooks' speed even at full speed. When Brooks adapted to Sun Ce's speed and was about to guide Sun Ce to Yao Ming's defensive circle, he suddenly saw Sun Ce's upper body pressing down...
Using the inertia of his body weight, Sun Ce reached the extreme speed!
Although Brooks is a little faster than Sun Ce, but Brooks is a defender, and he has reached the limit to keep up with Sun Ce who suppresses the speed!
Sun Ce surpassed Brooks by one position!
Sun Ce didn't notice that a transparent reminder appeared in front of his eyes at that moment...
"Level 1 trigger of acceleration and direction change during travel: the host's speed increases to S within 1 second..."
Yao Ming has already turned around quickly and defended him, feeling that he has already stood in the defensive position. Who knew that Sun Ce's speed suddenly increased!
Just one shot!
Sun Ce was one beat faster, Yao Ming was two beats slower!
Sun Ce straddled the sideline on the right side of the three-second zone with his right foot, faced the basket and jumped out sideways, avoiding Yao Ming, and made a quick throw from behind Yao Ming's right...
Hit!
