Warriors VS Rockets, is a game that excites Chinese fans, a real Chinese derby!

Last season's confrontation between the Bucks and the Rockets, and this year's Warriors vs. Nets are also known as the Chinese derby, but Yi Jianlian is a soy sauce player on the court, and it is too easy to lose, which is not enjoyable to watch.

Zhou Xuan's rookie season performance was surprising, and Yao Ming was also able to cut an average of 19 per game. 3 points 9. 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. There may be some controversy about saying that Yao Ming is the No. 1 center in the NBA, but it is absolutely fine to say that he is the top three in the league. The collision of China's outer core and inner core is full of gimmicks.

The fly in the ointment is that this Tracy? McGrady has announced another truce, missing a star that Chinese fans like. Of course, this is good news for the Warriors.

There are also many Chinese fans in Houston, and although Zhou Xuan and the Rockets were missing, they still gave him applause. Before the start of the game, Zhou Xuan and Yao Ming chatted a few more words.

"Brother Yao, you have to be careful, our outside line is very capable of breaking through."

"Come on, I'll treat you to Yao's hot pot."

The game was broadcast live on CCTV5 in China. There are also a number of local stations across the country, and the Internet has also participated in the live broadcast. The American ESPN sent Jeff? Van Gundy and "Magic" Johnson commented on the scene and took this game very seriously. The two players represent the highest level of basketball in China and even in Asia.

"You're not welcome to your compatriots, I heard you had dinner together yesterday?" Margeti asked with a smile.

"Of course you're welcome, we want a win. Guys, run and I'll pass you the ball. Zhou Xuan said loudly.

Nelson Sr. has already thought of a strategy, and to deal with the Rockets is to resolutely counterattack and strive to complete the offense before Yao Ming returns to the joint defense. The slow transition between offense and defense is the biggest weakness of the Rockets, so they have always lost more and won less against the Suns and Warriors in recent seasons. It's not just Yao Ming, Scola, and Artest, who aren't very fast. But once they are in position, it will not be so easy to break through and play inside.

The Rockets made a change, and Battier replaced Maddy in the starting lineup as a shooting guard, and he and Artest only had one starter, which was really a luxury. The other four are Alstom, Artest, Scola, and Yao Ming.

The Warriors also made adjustments. Zhou Xuan, Moreau, Margeti, Randolph, Turyaf.

Biedrins sat on the bench, and he was often beaten by Yao Ming, who the Warriors had allowed Yao to score 21 points in the first quarter. The old Nelson knew that Dao was at a low level of single defense than Delrins, so he sent the more resistant Turiaf to strengthen the defense, at least the top defense could make Yao Ming unable to enter the three-second zone, and the defense around the front was also better. However, in this case, the task of preventing the pick-and-roll will fall to Randolph's shoulders.

"Zach, you have to prevent it, you have to prevent it, do you understand? Don't let Alston get past easily, it's okay to let him shoot. Before going on the field, the elder Nelson repeatedly told Randolph.

"Understood."

After the warm-up, the race began.

Yao Ming jumped the ball to win Turyaf, and the Rockets attacked first.

The Warriors defended 32 together, and Zhou Xuan faced Alstom at the top of the arc.

Alston handed over to Artest, with Margeti in the lead, and it was a battle of two muscular sticks. Artest took it to the right and hoisted the ball to Yao Ming, who reached for the ball in the low post. Battier ran to the baseline on the right side, and the four Rockets almost all stood to watch Yao Ming's singles, which is the offensive method that the Rockets are used to, combining inside and outside, from the inside out.

Turyaf resisted Yao Ming to the death, Yao Ming dribbled the ball to the middle twice, failed to squeeze Turyaf, he took the ball with his right foot as the axis, shook his back and right shoulder lightly, turned around and jumped to the bottom line. This kind of movement is easy for defenders to do, and it is difficult for interior players who are more than 210cm tall to do it smoothly, and it is even more difficult to ensure the feel. But Yao Ming can, this is his stunt, and it is difficult to block unless he assists in the defense from the side. He was so tall that he didn't need to jump hard at all.

Turiaf jumped with all his might, interference had no effect, and the ball went in. 0 to 2.

CCTV5 is narrated by Su Qun and Yang Jian today. Seeing this goal, Su Qun was excited. "Good shot! This ball is played very reasonably, reflecting Yao Ming's role as an international superstar and the core of the team. ”

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball across the half, and Alston stepped forward to defend. Some people say that Alstom's defense is a black hole, and people want to take what they want. Zhou Xuan made two feints with the ball, but Alstom didn't shake it.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. The "Street Ball King" who became famous in Rock Park in New York is the best at heads-up, his ability to break through with a single defense is not bad, and he can limit some speed guards, but he is too thin and weak, and he is not good at dislocation after blocking and dismantling, which is a bit similar to Zhou Xuan.

Randolph pulled to the perimeter to cover Alstom, Zhou Xuan broke through from the left, and Scola switched defenses. The Argentine is not a pure defensive colander either, he is slow but experienced. deliberately kept a distance from Zhou Xuan, as long as Zhou Xuan made a move, he could immediately rush forward to interfere, and when he moved, he stuck to the three-second zone line, and if Zhou Xuan passed, he could also return to the inside line in time to defend.

Zhou Xuan passed the ball to the middle, Randolph took the ball and took a step to resist Alston, and made a quick stop jump shot. He jumped low, but the ball had a high arc and was hollow into the net. 2 to 2.

Su Qun shook his head and said: "Randolph's strength lies in the fact that he not only has a strong attack in the low post, but also shoots accurately on the periphery. The Rockets lost twice to the Jazz and once to the Mavericks in the playoffs, and Boozer and Nowitzki are both that type of player. ”

Yang Jian agreed. "Zhou Xuan and Randolph's blocking is really reminiscent of the Jazz's blocking, after coming to the Warriors, Randolph can send a stable 20+10, and he is really impeccable on the offensive end. If the Warriors maintain a good record, Randolph could also be selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career...... The rocket ball was given to Yao Ming. ”

Yao Ming still used a turnaround jumper, this time the rhythm was not right, Turyaf almost sealed his face, the ball bounced out of the frame, and Randolph won the rebound in the backcourt.

"Good ball...... Alas, didn't get in. Su Qun was excited again: "This ball is a little bigger, although it didn't score, but this kind of ball is very reasonable, and the rocket should continue to play like this." The Warriors fought back, and the Rockets players couldn't get back on guard. ”

Yao Ming didn't have time to settle down after turning and jumping, and the Warriors rushed to the basket with a three-line fast break. Randolph passed to Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan gave Margeti, and then passed to Morrow, who received the ball and relied on his speed to rush inside, past Battier for a layup to score. Morrow also won the scoring title in the summer league, and his individual ability is really not weak. The breakthrough suddenly accelerated in the fast break, and the defense expert was also caught off guard. 4 to 2.

Alston dribbled the ball through the half court again, Yao Ming and Turyaf were in a fierce position, he thought about it for a while, and decided to try Zhou Xuan alone, he was very interested in Zhou Xuan.

Since he was a child, Alstom has been playing on basketball courts on the streets of New York, showing off his basketball talents. At the age of 15, he competed in the over-18 age group at Rock Park, where he took Harlem basketball and the nation by storm with a masterful hand-changing dribble and a variety of bizarre turning footwork. Entering the NBA, some of his actions will be judged to be overturned and he can't do it, but his ability to dribble is still strong, he rarely makes mistakes, and he believes in his breakthrough ability.

He dribbled under his crotch at the top of the arc continuously, but Zhou Xuan just lowered his center of gravity and didn't move. He saw it very accurately, although these tricks were done very smoothly, but they only confusing the opponent, Alston did not take a big step, and the shoulder probe was also very light, only when he moved, the real action would come.

Zhou Xuan responds to all changes with the same, which he learned from Jackson, and he is becoming more and more proficient in using it.

Alston suddenly changed to the left side, Zhou Xuan moved a small step sideways, did not block the breakthrough route, just wanted to follow, so that when the opponent changed direction, he would not be completely passed. It's nothing to fear just putting Alston at the three-point line or in the low post, as long as it interferes with the shot.

Alstom's left hand dribbled to his right hand, and he used a double change of direction to dribble, and Zhou Xuan continued to defend from the side in small steps. Alston, who originally wanted to break through the middle of the lane and make a small throw, was shocked. Why would anyone say that this guy doesn't defend well? I don't eat feints at all! He didn't want to pass the ball after carrying it for a long time. Change direction again and hand it to the left hand, and make a pull-up jumper. The shot was very fast, Zhou Xuan didn't cover it, but Alstom's shot was generally not sure, and it popped out of the frame, and Turyaf got the rebound in the backcourt.

The four players of the rocket quickly returned to defense, and Zhou Xuan stabilized the situation.

Su Qun sighed: "Alas, this ball is very unreasonable, at this time, you should pass the ball to Yao Ming!" Alstom is really ...... After taking it for a long time and not entering, Zhou Xuan's defense is very good, and recently his defense has begun to impress, and it is difficult to pass him one-on-one. ”

Zhou Xuan brought it to the front court or relied on blocking and dismantling, and this time Randolph and Turyaf both pulled it out.

All NBA teams will be clear when they play against the Rockets, and that is to "fatigue center Yao Ming". These teams frequently used small guards and big men to block and dismantle near the arc, forcing Yao Ming to chase and drain the giants' stamina.

As soon as he prevents blocking and dismantling, Yao Ming's slow speed will be undoubtedly exposed. In Jeff? In Van Gundy's tactics, Yao Ming, as a center forward, must run outside the penalty area to help his teammates defend and dismantle, and this defensive tactic will only lead to two consequences: first, Yao Ming's physical strength will decline rapidly, which will affect the offensive and defensive performance; Second, Yao Ming was not fast enough and received unnecessary fouls.

Rockets coach Adelman said last season, "When it comes to pick-and-roll, I'm going to let Yao Ming stay inside." It's definitely going to be different, and if you want to make better use of Yao Ming, then getting him closer to the basket will make a bigger difference, and he can use his height and size to defend. ”

But that argument was shattered last season. If the opponent's inner line is pulled out, and one of them can still shoot accurately, how can Yao Ming defend if he doesn't go out?

Scola followed Randolph, Yao Ming followed Turyaf to the perimeter, and after covering, the two Chinese players faced each other for the first time!
