(One hundred and eighty-seven) the new season begins
On November 1, the new season officially began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 On the first day, Niu Mayang and other strong teams appeared one after another, and the Rockets ushered in the king at home. It was also the first game coached by veteran coach Adelman after leaving the Kings, and he coincidentally faced his old club.
Before the opening game, the Rockets received their championship rings from last season. David. Stern personally went to the scene to shake hands with the Rockets players one by one, and the championship ring was presented by Wang Yuanfei on behalf of the team owner. When the players collected them one by one, the atmosphere reached its peak. Tomjanovic was on the scene and took the last championship ring of his career with a smile to cap off his successful basketball career. Tomjanovic dedicated his entire career to the Houston Rockets, joining the team in 1970 under the San Diego Rockets' home stadium in San Diego instead of Houston. He played for the Rockets for 11 years as a player, was a five-time All-Star, led the Rockets to all four championships in franchise history as a coach, and won an Olympic gold medal as coach of Team USA.
Adelman applauded earnestly, and he was also a long-time friend of Tomjanovich and admired him. Now it's his turn to coach the Rockets, and the championship ring he's coveted for years is really hopeful this time.
Rookie players Johnson and Spanoulis are also taking it seriously, and they are full of expectations and expectations for the new season.
The starters of both sides came on, the Rockets were still the traditional CTM plus Jefferson and Bosh, and the Kings were Brad. Miller, Sharif. Raheem, Bunch. Wells, Peja. Studjakovic and Mike. Beebe.
The game began, and as soon as the Kings came up, they turned against the guest. Miller made consecutive fouls to the free throw line, and Wells, who had just switched from the Grizzlies, and Raheem, who had just moved from the Trail Blazers, also played well. The Kings took a nine-point lead in the first quarter, and Miller scored 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the first quarter.
Adelman's face was a little ugly, this was to be taught a lesson by the old disciples. Fortunately, he has been up and down in the league for many years, has rich experience and is more thick-skinned, and still maintains his calm and encourages the players.
Yuanfei's face is not very good-looking, he has boasted to Adelman before that he wants to win 73 games, and it would be a shame if he planted it in the first game. Playing other teams can also rely on the depth of the bench to slowly turn back, but the Kings' bench is also very good. Kevin. Martin, Kenny. Thomas and this year's first-round rookie Francisco. Garcia has a certain amount of strength.
Rahim's emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and although his strength was no longer at its peak, he still used his skillful footsteps under the basket to point Bosh to turn and shoot.
"The soul is light!" Bosh was furious, but he was a man who was tough and hard in the finals, and after a summer of hard training, he wanted to take on a more important role in the team, but he was beaten like this by a guy who was in a downturn.
Bosh's speed was far above Rahim, who had a knee injury, Yao Ming was singles with the ball in the low post, Rahim was a little distracted and wanted to step forward to wrap up, and Bosh had already run without a shadow. By the time Raheem came to his senses, Bosh had reached the three-point line and hit a three-point shot.
"Whew!" The roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex resounded through the Toyota Center again.
The Kings hurriedly replaced Kenny, who defended better. Thomas, but Wells' pass to Peja was stealed by Maddie, Maddy took the ball all the way to the basket, and the Kings hurriedly stepped forward to block, but saw Maddie's long eyes in the back of his head, and the pass had been divided to the right side of the 45-degree angle, Reed just ran here to catch the ball and threw it, brushing the basket in.
Thomas is a veteran of the Rockets, but that's for old people like Maddie Reed. Bosh didn't care about that, he and Billups blocked and shook off Thomas's windmill and got the dunk. The home crowd cheered thunderously, Bosh was thin and long, and the splitting button was very stretched, and it was very ornamental.
Yao Ming loudly commanded his teammates to run and defend, and he also kept a close eye on Miller. Miller was pressed tighter in the high post and no longer got as many easy shots as he did in the first quarter. He turned around and hit a jumper.
Bosh protected the rebound and immediately made a long pass to the frontcourt, and Maddie was already running. He caught the ball and formed a dozen in the front court, easily passed Garcia and hit a layup.
In this way, the Rockets firmly controlled the situation in the second three quarters and finally defeated the opponent by 19 points. Maddy scored 23 points on poor shooting and Studjakovic only made 3-of-13 shooting. Yao Ming contributed a 22+10 double-double, while Bosh scored a game-high 24 points.
Through this game, many media took Bosh seriously. In the past, people thought of him as a green leaf next to CTM, but the third-year player has gradually grown into a force to be reckoned with with the Rockets. He doesn't come up like James Wade Anthony in the same class and plays a major role in the team, but he continues to grow. He's slowly evolved into a league-wide power forward.
On Nov. 5, the Rockets host the New Orleans Hornets. This year's Hornets are no longer the belly of the team, and they picked the brain of the North Carolina four in the draft, Raymond. Felton, in exchange for the Bucks' former dunk king Desmond, who averaged 17 points per game last season, in another trade. Mason, young player David. West and J.R. Smith are also very good fighters. Mustache head coach Byron. Scott is best known for coaching star point guards and has worked with Jason. Kidd worked well together, and the media showed confidence in Felton's future.
Before the game, Wang Yuanfei organized a fundraising event for the city of New Orleans and received a lot of disaster relief funds. The Hornets' home stadium was hit by the largest hurricane in U.S. history just over the summer, with Hurricane Katrina causing at least $75 billion in damage and at least 1,836 deaths. The Hornets were also forced to temporarily move their home stadium to the Ford Center in the Russian city. Unexpectedly, the fans at the home stadium of the Russian City were so crazy that they loved the Hornets as a temporarily suspended team, so much so that the league had to face up to the voices of the fans. This eventually led to the birth of the Oklahoma City Thunder a few years later.
(Paul, who was new to the Hornets, gave back to New Orleans many times: on Thanksgiving, Paul fed 200 New Orleans families, and on Christmas Day, he brought gifts to 100 local kids.) He also funded the construction of a local basketball court. You know, Paul doesn't earn a lot of money on a rookie contract, but he still gives a lot to the city)
But sympathy outside the field is sympathy, and there is still a serious fight on the field. A rebuilding team like the Hornets is no match for the Rockets. Although Felton played well and contributed 15+5+8, they only resisted half time before surrendering. Yao Ming 20+14, Bosh 18+8, the two completely broke the inside line composed of PJ. Brown and West. 91:104 Rockets win at home. (To be continued.) )
