Chapter 658

Now the young and strong Francis is notoriously fast to break through, and he has reached the front court in a few leaps.

In the face of a strong Francis, Houston had to let go of the defensive Mobley to help Billups defend. At this time, the old cat Mobley took advantage of the blocking of the name of the drug, and suddenly stopped in front of the three-point line after interspersing the inside line.

Then Francis's pass also came in time, and after receiving the ball, Mobley didn't stop for a moment, got up and shot.

Although Sean Battier, who was making up for the defense, tried his best to block, but Mobley's shot was too fast, and Battier could only look at the ball and sigh.

As the All-Star break approached, Van Gundy began to adjust the state of his players at this time. Wang Zhizhi, who was originally a second-line substitute, also benefited from this, and was promoted from the second line to the first-line position by Van Gundy.

This change made reporters from China very excited, although they hyped the Chinese derby before the game, but still thought that this so-called derby would only appear for a minute or two at most when the Knicks roster rotated. Now Wang Zhizhi was actually sent on as the main substitute in the first quarter, which was really beyond their expectations.

After the Knicks adjusted the lineup, Lamar was promoted to the small forward position, and the interior was handed over to Wang Zhizhi and Antonio Davis.

Of course, the most excited person was David Stern, who didn't expect Van Gundy to be so empathetic. Although the game has not been started for a long time, according to his subordinates, the number of spectators in China has exceeded 150 million. What is the concept of 150 million? It seems that there are not so many people in North America combined.

It's just that for Chinese fans, this game has made them feel a little distressed. The name of Little Giant Medicine is their pride, and Wang Zhizhi, who is also the first person in Chinese basketball, is also their pride. They really don't know who they should support right now.

However, such troubles are happy for them, when will Chinese fans have such an opportunity to see China's two leading basketball leaders fighting on the court at the same time.

"Don't mind! Lamar! That guy's hand can't stay on the court, and he'll cry when his hand feels cold!" Davis saw that Lamar was still standing motionless, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Who knew that Lamar suddenly laughed, the expression on his face became very excited, his eyes stared at Mobley in the distance, and muttered to himself: "It seems that this guy is not useless, and he has some strength when he tries his best." ”

Lamar ignored Dampoter after muttering and ran straight towards the Rockets' half, stopping before the three-point line. Lamar didn't rush to the inside to ask for the ball, but stared at Mobley, who was standing outside the three-point defense.

"Want to get revenge?" Mobley looked up at Lamar, there was no way, the height difference was really a bit much. The old cat's squinted eyes burst out with dazzling light through the cracks.

"Revenge!?" Lamar smiled when he heard this, and his tone was contemptuous: "It seems that you are not qualified enough! Are you qualified to represent the Houston Rockets?"

Lamar started running as soon as he finished speaking, and that's when Billups' pass arrived. Lamar's upper body didn't move, but he just swung his hands to the side and grabbed the ball in his hands. Then he smiled coldly at Mobley, who was standing in front of him after changing guards, and then jumped up and threw the ball under Mobley's surprised and helpless gaze.

"Rebound!" Mobley shouted and turned and ran towards the basket, and the name of the drug under the basket and Morris Taylor got the signal and quickly squeezed towards the basket, and the first collision of the two Chinese giants of the game began.

"Whew!" Apparently Mobley underestimated Lamar's strength and overestimated his own defense, and the basketball undoubtedly scored.

Halfway through Mobley's run, he was stunned to see the basketball go through the net. When Lamar threw the ball just now, his body was obviously unstable in the air, and his jump was too hasty. But this shot went in!

"This guy!" Mobley turned back to look for Lamar, who was already gone.

Lamar was backwards at this point, slowly retreating towards his own half, and when Mobley turned his head to look at him, a rather bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Damn! this kid dares to look down on me!" Mobley clearly sensed a look of contempt on Lamar's face, and his heart suddenly felt a pang of resentment.

At this time, a big hand suddenly slapped Mobley on the shoulder, and even without looking back, Maddie knew that the person who came was his old partner, competitor, and good buddy - Francis.

"Man, relax! Don't be too anxious, this game is still going on!"

Mobley turned his head to look at Francis, nodded and said, "I know, Steve!"

Francis has also been with Mobley for so many years, and he still knows a lot about his old partner's temper. Although he obviously noticed that there was a slight reluctance in the other party's tone, Francis couldn't say anything more.

Team Rocket Attack!

This time Francis's pace had dropped significantly, and manager Tomjanovic had already gestured from the sidelines to let him control the pace of the game.

Since joining Houston, Tomjanovic has made certain changes to Houston's previous tactics. The kind of basketball that is quick to beat and win is not what they are good at.

Although the current name of the medicine also has a good speed, after all, the height of the little giant of two meters and twenty-six is placed over there, and the team's speed can't be fast even if they want to.

Playing positional battles with opponents, combining inside and outside to slowly look for opportunities, using passes to wear down the opponent's fighting spirit, and making the opponent anxious first, this is Tomjanovich's style. It was this tactic that Tomjanovic relied on this tactic to lead Olajuwon and Drexler to two consecutive championships.

Francis dribbled the ball outside the three-point line for a while, and when he saw that Billups was defending tightly and couldn't find a good break, he handed the ball to Mobley next to him.

After receiving the ball, Mobley glanced at Houston, who was defending in front of him. In his opinion, Houston's defense is simply porous and not worth mentioning at all.

Mobley was thinking about looking for an opportunity to break through, but found that the name of the medicine on the inside line had already relied on Wang Zhizhi to reach out for the ball. Although he is unwilling, Mobley knows very well that Tom Janovic, the current owner of the Rockets, is watching from the court, and if he still insists on going his own way under the repeated orders of head coach Tom Janovic, Tom will definitely not hesitate to replace him.

After making a shooting feint to fool Houston's attention, Mobley tossed the ball high to the name of the medicine inside.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming pushed Wang Zhizhi behind him hard, and then dribbled the ball with a short body. Then his feet shook violently, and he suddenly half-turned, then stepped back, jumped up lightly on his toes, and gently hooked his hand holding the basketball.

"Oops!" Wang Zhizhi secretly screamed that it was not good, and hurriedly jumped up to cover it. But Yao Ming's height was too high, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach it, so he could only watch as Yao Ming's wrist flicked softly, and the basketball was thrown into the hoop.

Lamar, who was cooperating on the sidelines, did not dare to slack off, and jumped up to fan the basketball, but he was still a step slower, and could only let the basketball slide twice on the hoop and roll into the net.

I think that when Wang Zhizhi became popular in China and represented the national team in the Olympic Games, his drug name was just a small character of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks team. At that time, in the domestic league, Wang Zhizhi was also the undisputed king.

But time has passed recently, and the little hairy head who was suppressed by Wang Zhizhi back then has now grown into the starter of the NBA team, and the rapid progress has exceeded Wang Zhizhi's expectations, and Wang Zhizhi himself is still working hard for a stable playing time.

The first real meeting between the two Chinese players in this match ended with a complete victory.

Lamar didn't pay much attention to the interior encounter, and in his opinion, the advantage of the drug name against the Knicks inside line is conceivable.

It was after the Warcraft Howard sprung up in the future and dominated the inner line of the alliance, every time he encountered the name of the drug, he was only obediently abused.

Looking at Mobley, who had just completed an assist, Lamar had a playful smile on his face: "You don't say anything about the team! Even the face of the team's little brother has to be seen, it seems that your second leader in the team will be replaced sooner or later!"

Mobley's expression froze, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! Just that thin bamboo pole? Dream! I'm a player who cares about the overall situation, and I care more about the team's victory than beating you." ”

When Mobley said this, he felt a little aggrieved in his own heart. It is the dream of every NBA player to get unlimited shots on the court, and it is also an affirmation of his status!

There are undoubtedly only a handful of players in the league today who have such privileges! Lamar is one of them. It is also a rare honor to have the opportunity to score points with such a player on the spot, and now the opportunity has finally come, but the interests of the team have forced him to say such things against his will to make himself feel better.

"Really!?" Lamar of course saw that Mobley's mouth was wrong and that the fierce intent in his eyes was bursting out, but it was deeply hidden: "It's pitiful! ”

Lamar said as he left Mobley and ran towards the Rockets' half.

The most stressful of tonight was Van Gundy's former henchman Jackson. Lamar, who has been playing the big forward position, was inexplicably placed in the small forward position tonight, which made Jackson, who has been serving as a small forward for the Rockets, feel pressure!

Jackson saw Lamar attack again, and at the same time, he didn't dare to slack off at the same time. He stepped back, pressing Lamar's space to move.
