"Dry out!" Durant, who couldn't shoot, also beat his chest with An Jie, and then high-fived An Jie hard in the process of retreating. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Why is it that sometimes the appearance of a ball can make a team start to play more and more smoothly, because that goal, if it is not done well, will greatly improve the morale of the players.

The Thunder generals have just experienced a humiliating four-game losing streak, and now they need a fuse to ignite the hearts of this group of young people.

And An Jie's wonderful dunk at the beginning undoubtedly ignited the passion of his teammates.

Argentine Luis. Although Scola has a high basketball IQ and good interior skills, he is only 2.06 meters tall and Chuck, who is even shorter. Hayes is paired with an inside line, and the height is simply no different from a small lineup.

After Scola was attracted to Durant, Hayes was left alone to protect the restricted area. It's no wonder that Anjie, who has a huge advantage in height and reach, can get the rebound and dunk the ball one step ahead of Hayes.

Can the Rockets' overly short interior combination stop An Jie this time? It seemed like they were feeling the pressure as soon as the game started.

Defensively, according to Van Gundy's arrangement, Anjie will defend Scola who plays the fourth position, and Hayes will be left in the care of Kostic.

Scala found it difficult to play or attack on his own.

Anjie and his entanglement have never stopped, as soon as Scola stepped into the three-point line, then he didn't want to have good fruit to eat, just connected to the ball, it was very difficult.

was dunked into one by An Jie, and the Rockets also wanted to hurry up and return the color to pull the momentum on the court to their side.

Brooks borrowed Hayes's block and then quickly made a three-point shot, and he felt very good in the first few games, frequently cutting more than 20 points, so this time his shot was very decisive and very confident.

However, Westbrook, who has been mobilized by Anjie, got rid of the block and pick-and-roll at a surprising speed, and before Brooks could throw the ball, Westbrook suddenly came out and directly sealed Brooks's face.

Brooks couldn't see anything, and it would definitely be a mistake to pass the ball. So he gritted his teeth and forcibly made a move!

I have to admit that the feel and shooting instinct of "Little Black Bean" are really good, although the ball was seriously interfered with by Westbrook, but the flight direction and arc of the basketball are very positive!

However, on the basketball court, luck is always part of the difference between winning and losing a game. The basketball did fall into the hoop, but after a few bounces on the hoop, it actually crawled out!

Scola was stuck behind Anjie, and although Hayes rushed into the box and jumped at the same time as Anjie, the rebound was still won by Anjie, who had a more dominant height advantage.

Angel landed and lifted the ball high above his head, dodging the hands of Scola and Hayes who reached for a tackle. After the two were unwilling to retreat, he handed the ball to Westbrook safely.

The Rockets' counterattack was unsuccessful, but the Thunder made a comeback with a murderous aura!

"You know Charles, the Thunder are too strong in this game. They're like a team that has just gone through a 10-game winning streak and is ambitious! "The opening offense and defense just slapped Barkley loudly. Kenny. Smith won't miss any opportunity to complain about Barkley, which has become a habit in his profession.

"Look at Kenny, a basketball game is at least 48 minutes, and it's normal for young people to start stronger." Barkley still held the original opinion, and he glued to the screen in the live broadcast room, eager to see how the Rockets' defense would respond this time.

An Jie was still playing according to the tactics, and he didn't think about anything about his own data.

The Thunder's tactics were the same as in the previous game, and Battier was also a perimeter defender. However, without a strong physical foundation as a foundation, it is difficult for him to deal with Anjie's huge range of blocking.

Trying to squeeze through Angel's wall, Battier struggled. If he wants to go around, then Durant will definitely take this opportunity to shoot directly!

After some running and pick-and-roll, Durant received the basketball in the same position for the second time. This time, Scola didn't choose to make up for the defense, he hurriedly turned around and stuck in the position, hoping to protect the backcourt rebound.

But letting Durant go is an even more stupid decision!

"Oops! Battier has to be old! He let KD easily hit a three-pointer from the outside, Ariza was pulled to the weak side by Sephorosa again, and if Scala didn't defend it, then Durant got an empty spot! ”

"Defense, Luis! Give Chuck the inside line! Adelman yelled at Scola from the sidelines, let go of Durant, that's even more terrible than letting go of Anjie!

The Rockets' second offense still chose to shoot from the outside, and they also knew that they were not dominant on the inside in this game. With Anjie's barrier, the risk of entering the three-second zone is greater than shooting three points!

Although it was still a three-point shot, Trevor . Ariza had a much better shot selection than Brooks this time.

He first slipped to the baseline, slowing down Sephorosa's footsteps considerably. Ariza opened his hand to ask for the ball after running to the bottom corner, and Brooks quickly delivered the ball!

Point your feet to the basket, hold the ball with both hands, and raise your arms. Seeing this action, Sephorosa didn't think about it, and immediately jumped and threw himself at Ariza.

The corners of Ariza's mouth curled slightly, he was deceived!

Seeing Sephorosa jumping, Ariza immediately retreated to the side, easily dodging Sephorosa's block.

Faced with the opportunity to open the position, Ariza got up and down, scored three points, and also colored!

Van Gundy didn't have much to say about this goal, they didn't leak anyone, and the defensive system didn't collapse. But the fact that a defender is shaken up is something that tactics can't control.

It was only after Ariza hit a three-pointer with a nice feint that the Rockets' confidence was really built. The offense goes back and forth after the two sides, except that most of the endpoints are on the outside.

The excited An Jie didn't ask for the ball too much, he knew that as long as he followed the tactics, he would be right.

Ariza played a brilliant first quarter, shooting 2-of-3 from three-point range and scoring 10 points in a single quarter. After leaving the Lakers, he even had some momentum to become the leader of the Rockets.

Just as the first quarter was about to end with five minutes left, Adelman was replaced by the Rockets' former true leader, Tracy. Mcgrady.

After Maddie came on the field, the fans at the Toyota Center were tepid. After four games and a maximum of four points, they have lost much hope for this sleepy-eyed guy.

Also not long after returning from injury, Anjie's performance was completely different from Maddie's.

Maddie hasn't given up on proving himself yet, and he knows he'll need some time after returning from injury.

Now facing the Thunder's second-team guard Sean. Livingston's defense, Maddie feels that his opportunity has come!

Maddie holds the ball from beyond the three-point line and motions for his teammates on the second team to pull him away.

"What!?" Adelman saw the change on the field and stood up nervously. Give Maddie a single, it's not a tactic he has laid out!

Maddie began to dribble and seemed to find some rhythm to attack. He suddenly started to advance, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was too slow now.

Stopping, suddenly pulling out when he didn't completely get rid of the defense, Maddie's forte.

Anjie's understanding of Maddie was still stuck in last season, when Maddie could easily score more than 30 points when they played each other.

An Jie was busy enough, and he didn't have time to care about how others were doing. However, Maddie's recent unsatisfactory performance is still a little heard of by him.

With such a difficult shot, Maddie should not be able to score now.

An Jie quickly stuck in the position without thinking about it, although it was very physically exhausting to fight for each ball, but he was full of energy after a month of rest!

Watching the basketball appear in view, An Jie bent his knees, ready to jump.

Unexpectedly, this ball went directly into the net, making Anjie, Van Gundy, and the entire Toyota Center grow their mouths.

"McGrady's signature pull-up shot! Hit! Don't forget, the Rockets have been sitting on the bench with an X-factor! ”

The second time, Maddie was no longer satisfied with shooting from the outside. This time, he went straight inside with Livingston and made a strong layup.

If it had been placed a year ago, Maddie would not only have a layup, but also a violent dunk.

But after a major injury, this guy's bounce height and speed can't be compared to the past. Maddie dodged Livingston's hand after the jump, but he found that he couldn't fly as fast as he used to.

"Smack!" Maddie's basketball was flapped off, and he had already guessed that he would end up like this the moment after the jump.

An Jie mercilessly slapped the basketball in Maddie's hand, and also fanned away the only illusion a man had about himself.

This time the block looks ruthless, but An Jie will not be sorry for this. They went to great lengths to get to Houston overnight, but not to flatter McGrady!

After this block, Maddie once again lost that flash of inspiration. He was still reluctant and continued to ask his teammates for the ball, but after that, Maddie never threw the ball again. Three-second zone? With that big man number 16 here, the three-second zone is no longer the place he should be.

I don't know why, Maddie began to miss the No. 11 who was the same skin color as An Jie. Back then, their forbidden area also had such a barrier......

1 of 5 shots, but Maddie didn't mean to stop yet. Adelman had to replace Maddie, who didn't say a word to Maddie as he walked past him.

When Maddy was taken down by Adelman, Van Gundy also replaced Anjie, who was in good form, with Morris. He was originally a little jealous of Maddie to keep An Jie on the court, after all, that guy had played under him before, and he knew how terrifying Maddie's scoring ability was.

However, when Anjie slapped Maddie's layup for the first time, Van Gundy knew that he was overthinking.

"Rest and rest, and work again in the second quarter." Van Gundy patted Anjie on the shoulder, Houston has long been not his home field!

Morris will face 2.11-meter-tall Rockets backup center David Brown. Anderson.

At the time of the 2002 draft, there was a lot of interest in the development of David Brown. Anderson's expectations were far higher than Louis's. Scola.

However, Anderson has been reluctant to play in the NBA, and when he finally wanted to make it to the world's highest basketball game, he suffered a serious injury in Europe, falling a leg bone, spraining an ankle, and tearing a ligament.

After that, although Anderson still got the opportunity to play in the NBA, now he is the choice after Adelman is unavailable.

In the face of Morris's powerful impact and savage style of play, the thin-bodied Anderson was completely unstoppable.

And Ibaka also played well in the face of Battier, who came to the No. 4 position.

Fortunately, Battier hit two three-pointers from the outside to allow the Rockets to barely bite the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score became 23-22, and the Rockets temporarily trailed at home.

Although the difference was only one point, everyone knew that it did not reflect the real situation on the pitch between the two sides.

The Rockets had to rely on an eight-man rotation to cope with the game, and there was a nearly combative McGrady on the bench.

And on the Thunder team's side, An Jie and his good brothers didn't start to show their strength!

Barkley is still holding on with the score gap and forcibly rounding back his pre-match views. He played this kind of amusing role in the commentary, but Barkley knew in his heart that although the Rockets were only one point behind, they were undoubtedly at a disadvantage!

In the second game of his return from injury, An Jie's solo performance has not yet begun. (To be continued.) )
