Ten starters stood on the pitch. Pen%Fun%Cabinet www.biquge.info Garnett spewed trash talk at Thomas: "I'm going to beat you up!" Thomas, who had been chattering in the locker room before, knew that his strength could not compete with the other party, so he simply did not use his mouth to save effort.

Jumping ball, big dreams jump high. Although Lian Po is old, he can still fight, and Da Meng's jumping ability is still stronger than that of the Slovenian center, and he gave the racket to Williams. Williams quickly passed to Mobley, who held the ball and advanced it across the half. Brandon clung to him.

"Tyrrell. Brandon, who played an average of 36 minutes per game last season, contributed 17.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 8.9 assists, and also has long-range shooting ability, is one of the best second-tier stars in the league. It's a pity that he is already 30 years old and will not be our trading target. Yuanfei stared at the computer screen and kept retrieving information.

Mobley's nickname is Old Cat, and he really has the dexterity of a cat. He slammed a feint to break through Brandon's defense. "Old man, your legs can't keep up!" Mobley yelled and rushed to the three-second zone, and the experienced Olajuwon had stuck Nesterovic behind him at this moment, making it impossible for him to step forward to help the defense, and the basket was in front of Mo's eyes. Layup, shot.

A big hand covered the sky and slapped the basketball on the rebound, the pegboard hat! Garnett shot up to the air and snapped a block and took the ball. He looked up to the stunned Rockets and roared.

"Don't be stunned, hurry back!" Olajuwon commands his teammates. Brandon, who got the ball, slowly advanced through the half court with the ball in his hands, facing Mobley's defense.

"Damn! Almost scored! Mobley was upset, "Why is that skinny bamboo pole so fast!" This time, I must prevent Brandon and save face. The experienced Brandon dribbled unhurriedly, looking directly into Mobley's eyes as he seemed to see through his opponent's mental activity. His hand suddenly moved, and his eyes looked to the left. "It's a pass! Is he going to give that Szzczebiak? Mobley subconsciously looked to the left, and for a moment Brandon disappeared from his vision.

Brandon jerked to the right and left Mo's line of sight. He made a beautiful feint with just a flick of his eyes and hands, completely fooling his opponent. Mobley is 25 years old, but this is only the first game of his third season, and he is too young to be compared to Brandon, who has been playing until his tenth year.

Thomas quickly made up the defense, Brandon passed the ball in the three-second zone, vacated, Garnett dunked!

The second time, the wolf king's long roar resounded through the Compaq Center (note: the Toyota Center Arena, familiar to Chinese fans, was opened in 2003).

"Kevin, you must watch the sports table tonight, the best five balls must have you." Substitute Sam. Mitchell said happily. The veteran has been with the Wolves for 12 years and is the team's number one veteran (he will take over as head coach of the Timberwolves in September 2015).

Garnett looked up at the scoreboard, and the Wolves took a big lead in the first half at 71:44. The Rockets' defense barely supported the first half of the first quarter, and after Olajuwon went off the floor, the interior was completely unable to contain Garnett's rampage. "But that kid at Thomas knew that the backup center couldn't work, so he just let go of the shot, and just wanted to resist and not let me enter the three-second zone." Garnett thought, "This guy doesn't have talent, and he works hard defensively. ”

"The lads played great!" Coach Sanders cheered for his players: "We scored more than 70 points in the first half because they simply couldn't contain Kevin and Tyrell. Keep it like this we broke them down in the third quarter, and the main players went down to rest in the fourth quarter. We have to prepare well for the game against Spurs the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yes! Instructor! Garnett and the others replied loudly.

***

"Mr. Thomas, what do you think of your defense against Garnett?" Yuanfei asked.

"Just call me Kenny like everybody, Jason, I think I'm very poorly defensive, Garnett scored more than 20 points, it's only halftime."

Garnett shot 9-of-19 from the field, 2-of-3 from the free-throw line and had one turnover. He used 21 offensive rounds and scored 20 points. Do you hear that? Thomas - No, Kenny, you're the superstar in the defensive league and it took him 21 rounds to score 20 points, you're great! ”

"Am I really that good?" Thomas himself was stunned.

Yuanfei knows very well that the best defensive players in the team now are Da Meng and Thomas. But Olajuwon's age meant him to play less than 30 minutes, while Brendan Rodgers, who came off the bench, defended poorly. If it weren't for the Timberwolves' center who had no offensive ability, the interior would have been blown into slag. Among the outside players, except for the young Maddie, the others are very poor defensively, and there is no defensive player. Anderson has gone to the Raptors.

"The starters in the second half were Hakim, Kenny, Tracy, Dier and Michael." Tang Shuai spoke, "Catino, you played almost the whole half in the first half, rest for a while." Tracy, it's up to you to keep the ball. Is there a problem? ”

Reid was dumbfounded, he was about to play. His long-awaited NBA debut came. Mobley was also dumbfounded, can Maddie play point guard?

"No problem, leave it to me, Coach." Maddie still looked sleepy-eyed.

***

As soon as she got on the court, Maddie got rid of the state of not waking up. And so after Reed and Mobley, another jaw-dropping man appeared.

"Hey, I really can't stop his pull-up jumper." Brandon's weakness was exposed, he was only 180cm tall, and he looked helpless in the face of a 203cm Maddie jumper.

"You go to defend Curry, and the ball handler is handed over to me!" Szebiak shouted.

Maddie managed to break through Szzebiak's one-man defense, and Garnett quickly assisted. Maddie didn't hesitate to throw the ball to his teammate who was ambushed in the bottom corner. The 193cm old Curry shoots a layup on Brandon's head and the ball goes in! 49:73！

Billups couldn't stand it anymore. "Tyrell, give me Curry. That rookie is known for his penetration and ball handling, and his three-point shot is not good! ”

is worthy of the wise general Billups, he has done his homework enough. It's a pity, hehe! Yuan Fei on the sidelines sneered in his heart. Michael. Reed has made a name for himself in history with the three-point shot as his primary skill, but he didn't show that talent in college.

Garnett misses a shot, Olajuwon protects the rebound, passes to Reed to advance through the half, and Reid passes to Maddy. Thomas came up to do the pick-and-roll, Maddy broke through the defender and faced Garnett's reinforcement again, and he passed the ball again!

Reed passed the ball and ran half a lap and then ran back, just in time to catch the ball in the same spot where Curry had just shot. He jumped high and shot.

A voice sounded in Reed's head at this moment.

"Newcomer, I'm the team's chief data analyst, and I suggested that the team choose you."

"The management has positioned you as a 3D (3Point + Defensive type) player, and I know you had terrible defense in college and you didn't have a good three-point shot, but I think you have a good shooting hand and can make a good three-point shot. As for defense, it's up to you. ”

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely become one of the core members of our team in the future."

***

"I've been practicing three-point shooting for months now. It's all for this moment, and all my efforts are for this moment! At this moment, Reed's heart was extremely resolute, and the ball he threw drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Ball in!

When the whistle blew, Reed's height of 198cm was unattainable for Brandon, and it also caused Brandon to be fouled defensively, adding a free throw.

Reid threw in the free throw, 53-73! The margin is back to 20 points.

Just one and a half minutes into the opening half of the second half, the Rockets recovered seven points. Sanders called a timeout.

"Tracy, I want to give you a more difficult task. Let me see where your ceiling is. Tang Shuai smiled and laid out the tactics.

Coming back from the timeout, Michelle replaced the diminutive Brandon and Billups took over possession. And Williams, on the Rockets, replaced Thomas.

Garnett couldn't help but froze for a moment when he saw Thomas go from the break, and then saw Maddie in front of him. "Is there any mistake? This kid is a point guard on the offensive end and a power forward on the defensive end? Do you think he's a magician (legendary superstar Magic Johnson)? He didn't let that deter him and steadily used his weight advantage to get close to Maddie and reach out for the ball with his long arms.

The old demon is out! Curry stole the pass beautifully and pushed quickly to the frontcourt, but Wolves were also quick to drop back and set up their defensive formation. Maddie then found Williams in the open spot, but unfortunately missed the three-point attempt.

Garnett was almost dizzy, and with four three-pointers on the opposite side, he had to defend to a more periphery position, which made him uncomfortable. He hadn't adjusted yet, and he shot again.

Williams put Garnetra away from the three-second zone, Maddy broke through, and Nesterovic made up for it, but he didn't have Garnett's ability to stop Maddie from speeding up. Maddie dunks and causes a foul - 2+1! 56:73！

***

With Reed missing a three-pointer, the game ended. At 110:105 (NBA convention home team is behind), the Rockets lost the season opener at home. The players walked down the tunnel with their heads bowed.

But the fans gave the Rockets players a round of applause and cheers. The beautiful second half deserves applause and the hard-working players deserve cheers. After all, the Rockets recovered 22 points in the second half, and the fans enjoyed watching it.

Reed sat on the bench sweating profusely. His three-pointers, who shot 4-of-8, were an important weapon for the Rockets to chase points in the second half. 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover, which was a beautiful answer in the first game of Reed's career.

"Well played, rookie!" Maddie high-fives him. Maddy finished with 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists on 10-of-18 shooting, and also managed to contain Garnett. It should be said that in this ball, Maddie lost the game, but won the personal data.

***

In the visitors' dressing room, the atmosphere was so dreary that it didn't look like a win at all.

"We underestimated the rocket." Garnett looked upset. He chipped in a beautiful stat of 32 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but it took a full 30 shots.

"I underestimated Houston and didn't expect them to be more of a wolf than us in the second half." Coach Sanders said sincerely: "You guys played very beautifully. The second half was terrible and the blame is on me. But shake your spirits, the day after tomorrow to play the real strong Spurs in Texas, give me a better state! ”

"Yes, Coach!"
