Ariza couldn't follow Zhou Xuan directly, otherwise he would pass the ball.

But let Ariza defend the low post, Zhou Xuan can still pass the ball, it is simpler, directly hang to the basket and let his teammates play.

Smart got the true pass of Nelson Sr., the lineup was very flexible, and after seeing the Rockets' position, he was replaced by rookie De Juan? Blair replaced Margeti, who had a bad hand today, to play the No. 4 position.

Brandon? Wright arrived in the second half, not able to get even a minute of playing time, looking at Blair, envious and jealous. There is no place for him in the Warriors.

In fact, it's no wonder that the coach arranged it this way, the coaching staff always wanted Wright to gain weight, but he always maintained his rib body. What's the use of moving fast, after all, he can only play power forward. HEIGHT 208CM, WEIGHT 95 KG, ONLY TWO KG HEAVIER THAN THE ROCKET'S "LITTLE STEEL CANNON" LORRY, IN THE LOW POSITION HE CAN'T CARRY ANYONE AT ALL. Even Bosh could eat him with his back and arch him to the basket.

Blair worked very hard after coming on the court, and he was already in love with the Warriors, especially Zhou Xuan. Here, he was given unprecedented attention. The MVP of the finals gave him a low drop on the right side again and again.

Blair was not polite, relying on his strong body to beat Ariza twice in a row. Ariza joined the Rockets with a high salary and was disgraced in the first game. He can prevent breakouts, he can guard against shooting players like Kobe, but he can't guard Blair in the low post.

Blair's weight is 22 kilograms heavier than Ariza, and looking at his height, Ariza is a little taller. As soon as Blair entered the league, he showed a solid basic attack and excellent low-post skills, relying on Ariza twice, turning to the baseline, and then carrying the opponent to shoot strongly, squeezing Ali Genben to jump. After that, he killed again, and after the defense was misplaced, he went down a fast attack, and received a pass from Zhou Xuan and scored with a tomahawk.

The highest-rated low-post offensive player among the newcomers is Blair, and the top pick Griffin can only be ranked second. The Spurs were very optimistic about Blair, but the draft pick was too late, and they wanted to draft him in the second round, but they were preempted by the Warriors. In the summer, the Spurs also wanted to trade Jerebkoga for next season's second-round pick in exchange for Blair, but Mullin turned it down.

Seeing Blair play well, Barkley laughed: "The Warriors have kept the tradition of panning for gold in the sand. Blair's pick is not high, if they don't choose, they may even fall to the second round, but they played a wonderful performance on the first appearance. ”

"The Warriors brought in Randolph and Marion last season and tasted the sweetness of back-to-back offense, and having players like that is not only efficient offensively, but also creates opportunities for outside players," Smith said. The Rockets have not had a good way to defend Zhou Xuan, and now that the inside line is open again, they are more than lucky. ”

The Warriors replaced Ellis, a big belt and four small, and the Rockets also made Lowry and Brooks form a two-guard again.

Adelman is too far behind and anxious, desperate to attack, but it is very unwise to attack under the premise of low defense. The only adjustment he made on the inside was to bring Hayes on the field to replace Landry and hold off Blair in the low post.

Known as "Haiye" by Chinese fans, Hayes is a typical floor streamer, with a pair of thick legs, relying on the strength of his lower limbs to make up for the lack of height, and when defending, he exerts force on the opponent's lower limbs to make it impossible to jump. Of course, this only works for the powerful players, and the technical players do not play a big role.

Blair met his nemesis and couldn't play, and the Warriors switched to Margeti, who had a longer range. Smart's arrangement is like a game, completely arranged for the lineup, and as soon as the defense is out, Hayes is not so powerful, his height is hard, and his movement speed and explosiveness are not as good as Margety.

The Warriors picked up speed and suddenly started a 7-second run. The two sides ran fast, and Scola and Randolph were not fast attacking.

In the second half of the third quarter, Zhou Xuan surprised people again, he and Ellis played a fast break together, Ellis shot on the perimeter, and Zhou Xuan immediately rushed to the basket to grab the frontcourt rebound. This style of play humiliated Brooks again.

grabbed a rebound once, scored two offenses, and made a strong comeback to make two free throws, and the third quarter was the last 21. In 6 seconds, Zhou Xuan hit a three-point shot in the fast break, scoring 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and the Warriors led 101-82.

Barkley said: "Fortunately, this is the home court of the Warriors, if it is the home court of the Rockets, Ben Wallace and Pavlovich who they exchanged for Yao Ming have almost no chance to play, and their performance is also very bad, I guess the Rockets fans are going crazy." ”

Smith laughed: "I think Morey is very smart, Yao Ming's contract is until 2011, and it is difficult to trade and not benefit if he stays in his hand if he gets injured again." The trade delighted Chinese fans, minimizing resentment towards the Rockets and freeing up salary space for Wallace next season. ”

Such a deal is still based on the Rocket's impatience with Yao Ming. The narrator is inconvenient to say.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Zhou Xuan sat on the bench, and the Warriors lineup was still strong, Ellis, Azubuuk, Jackson, Magetti, and Turiaf. This lineup can play many teams and start without falling behind.

The Warriors also controlled the number of fouls well throughout the game, compressing the defense, interfering with shots, and not giving the Rockets many free throw opportunities. You can't use the "shark slashing tactic" to play the Rockets, unless Ben Wallace gets a lot of playing time, and the Rockets don't miss out on free throws, including Hayes. Although he has an eccentric shooting stance, he was once the league's best free thrower in college.

After Zhou Xuan got off the court, the Warriors' offense was still very fast, and Ariza, who played three quarters of iron, finally began to score, shooting a three-pointer and a mid-range shot. But he catches and shoots, and he still has to rely on Brooks and Lowry to attack with the ball.

All play fast attack, the game will be very good-looking, the opening game is a high score, Zhou Xuan played after a 5-minute break, and the difference was 16 points, and the rocket couldn't catch up at all.

Brooks's data today is also good, but he can't prevent Zhou Xuan, he is almost out of temper when he is tortured, and in the second half, it was everyone else who defended him, and now he is on Lowry again.

Zhou Xuan was close to him after taking half court, passed to Ellis, and then covered with Randolph without the ball. After winning the championship, Randolph didn't seem to have much pursuit of statistics, and he made very few shots, only 7 times so far, and he was a blue-collar worker with peace of mind, blocking and grabbing rebounds.

Lowry's strength is so strong that Zhou Xuan can't get into the restricted area, but his range is not only under the basket. Relying on the height advantage to hit Lowry, he turned around in the middle and made a foul on Lowry. The rocket was again forced to change the defense.

Zhou Xuan scored 33 points, and assisted Randolph on a mid-range shot at 4:51 and Ellis on a layup at 3:28 to score a big double-double. The rocket was too far behind, and with three and a half minutes left, he surrendered.

128-106, the Warriors got off to a good start. They proved that they are still a strong team without Marion.

Zhou Xuan had 33 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, and Ellis also played well, scoring 25 points and 4 assists, and the two of them were completely out of the Rockets. Randolph had 13 points and 17 rebounds, and rookie Blair also had 12 points and six rebounds. Magetti and Jackson also scored in double figures.

The Rockets' five starters except Hayes also scored double-doubles, and the shooting percentage was not high, and Scola shot 1 of 5 in the second half. Brooks had 19 points and six assists. Only 6 of 16 shots were made.

After making his regular-season debut as the Warriors' head coach, Smart said a lot at the press conference, especially praising Zhou Xuan and Ellis. 'If the two of them were on the pitch together, our back line was unbeatable and they have both improved this season.

Ellis is very happy, he is not good at words, but Smart is a coach, he feels more comfortable than Nelson Sr. when he was a coach, no matter how he played last season, it seems that Nelson Sr. wanted to stab him a few words, and it was all wrong. It made him doubt his strength, and now his confidence is back.

Smart also commented on rookie Blair. "De Juan is a very good player, he's tough on the inside."

This sentence also announced Wright's death sentence, he was too untough.

Adelman's words in the interview revealed helplessness. "Losing Yao Ming and Artest, now we don't have a super scorer in the team, everyone has to share the ball, and against the strong Warriors, they played hard, which is gratifying, and I believe we will get better and better."

The reporter interviewed Zhou Xuan and asked about the style of the ball. "You played very well today, you won luxurious statistics, I feel like you are more aggressive than last season, what is the reason for that?"

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly. "I'm in a bad mood and I need to vent, so I'm more determined than last season, and this is just the first game, so I'm going to try to prove that I've always had it."

Another reporter asked, "Can you tell us why you're in a bad mood?" ”

Zhou Xuan recognized it at a glance as Phil, a reporter who likes to find ballast? Jones, if you don't make it clear, the other side will have to fight in the team's locker room and compete for the boss.

"It's my emotional problem, and I can't say more about it." Zhou Xuan said lightly.

Reporters have recorded that it is not groundless for him to say that he broke up with his girlfriend. This has been mentioned many times in the offseason, and there is nothing to dig up. However, Zhou Xuan can't forget his ordinary girlfriend, and he seems to value love and righteousness, making people feel that others are very good.

Zhou Xuan believed that this would not cause any pressure on Nie Yuyan, when the two were dating in the past, there were countless women who cursed her at home and abroad. Broken up, these people will only be happy. And he also wanted to convey a message to Nie Yuyan through the press conference, he was waiting for the call.

Phil? Jones was not reconciled, and asked again: "Who is the core of the Warriors now?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly, looking at Phil like an idiot. "What do you think?"

This answer is both confident and domineering. It would be hypocritical to say that it was Jackson, and many people would be unconvinced by Randolph's words. Zhou Xuan's mood has changed now. He's the Finals MVP, he's the highest possession rate on the team, he's the boss.

He didn't say it, he just threw the question back, implicitly "You still ask such an obvious thing?" ”

Phil has never been able to dig up the news that embarrassed Zhou Xuan, and his hatred for him has deepened.
