Chapter Eighty-Three: Team Rocket's Substitute

"Welcome to the Toyota Center, I'm your old acquaintance, Bill Walton, and I'm my partner, Mark Jackson. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info"The game between the Rockets and the Clippers was broadcast by ESPN, so the broadcast guests were also replaced by Bill Wharton, the big red hair, and Mark Jackson.

"Mark, do you predict who will win this game?" After his opening remarks, Bill Wharton asked Mark Jackson a question.

"I think it's the Clippers! They're in a good mood right now, and the Rockets aren't too strong, so I guess the Clippers have a better chance of winning. "Although Mark Jackson is a player, he didn't show off that knowledge in the broadcast seat, but said it in plain language, who to show his schoolbag? Ordinary people don't understand those technical terms.

"I also predict the Clippers to win, well, now we're going to see the Clippers bring us an offensive battle." The Clippers have played eighteen games, averaging over 110 points in each game, and games below 100 have yet to be seen.

That's why Bill Walton will say that this is an offensive battle, as for the Rockets, they can only attack, and when it comes to defense, although the old foundation is still there, defense also needs players.

At eight o'clock in the evening PST, the game officially began.

The Clippers' starting five are Qin Zheng, Carman, Alssoton, Gordon and Davis, and the Rockets' starting lineup on this side is Hayes, Scola, Battier, Ariza and Brooks.

In the face of this lineup, in fact, Qin Zheng was not very panicked in his heart, the strength of this lineup is not as good as the Clippers, as long as they are not brainless and do not fight randomly, the Clippers will win a relatively large number.

When jumping the ball, Hayes symbolically jumped, and the basketball was allocated to Davis by Qin Zheng.

Davis had just picked up the basketball when he saw a dark shadow leap in front of him, and then, and then the basketball was stolen.

"Oooh! Brooks, this little black bean he steals Davis' basketball, and I guess he was stealed before he could touch the basketball. "Brooks is nothing else just a word, fast, he runs, Davis can't catch up.

"Brooks is too fast." For Brooks, Mark Jackson praised it very admirably, and then quickly stopped praising it.

When defending the Clippers' offense, he was directly squeezed out of the way by Davis.

"Little Black Bean's strength is too poor, compared to Davis, like an elephant and a cheetah." Bill Walton was very unhappy with the players who didn't have the power.

"Yes! Brooks' height of 183 makes him easy to beat by tough opponents, and he is also easy to block when he breaks in. He also lacks the big picture, can't control the tempo of the game well, and can't integrate his teammates in the attack, which he can't compare to Kyle Lowry on the bench. Brooks also tends to break to the right, where he passes to the left and then to the right of the basket. When attacking the basket, you can't control your breakout. There are some problems with choosing the timing of the shot. When defending, he likes to reach out and steal the ball, and he is prone to fouls. Mark Jackson gushed about Brooks' shortcomings.

Dunleavy had already studied this shortcoming, so he arranged for Davis to face Brooks' fatal breakthrough, anyway, as long as Davis squeezed hard, Brooks would be out of position.

However, Dunleavy told him that after breaking through, he had a very good chance to shoot again, and if he didn't work, he would share the ball.

Just do a job of breaking through the ball, Davis is still reluctant in his heart, so every time he breaks through, Davis chooses to end the game by himself.

Fortunately, Davis' shooting today was okay and he didn't miss the game.

In fact, Davis's outrageous is just a brainless three-pointer, and mid-range shooting can still be improvised.

Brooks was a lot more tragic, and was broken by Davis in the first four minutes of the game, and also made two fouls.

Adelman saw that there was no way out, so he had to let Kyle Lowry play.

For Kyle Lowry, Mark Jackson likes it very much, don't look at his current stats are not very high, but Mark Jackson can see from his playing style that he will definitely be an All-Star player in the future, because he plays with his brain, and Brooks just relies on his body.

Iverson, who is super physical, has no ball to play now, and this little black bean can't play a long start, or he will drop by more than half after a single injury.

After Kyle Lowry came on the court, the Rockets finally stabilized, and it was not impossible to deal with Davis's breakthrough.

Although he is as tall as Brooks, Kyle Lowry's body is too strong, and Davis is not far behind, you must know that Brooks 183's height is only 73 kilograms, Kyle Lowry is 93 kilograms, and you must know that Kobe Bryant's 201 is only 96 kilograms.

Kyle Lowry is the James of playmaking guards.

So this time it was Davis tragedy, when he broke through, Lowry couldn't stop him, but when Lowry broke through, he couldn't stop him.

The two of them formed a mutual explosion.

Lowry plays with his brain, and after breaking through, most of them are distributed to players in better positions, rather than facing the rest of the Clippers by himself.

He knew that if he was hard, Kaman, Qin Zheng would definitely take him and find no direction.

Most of Lowry's shots were passed to Ariza outside the three-point line or to Scola on the inside.

However, the Clippers are much better on the inside than the Rockets on the inside, so Lowry artificially gave Ariza more points for the basketball.

In fact, the Rockets now have the second scoring point in addition to Brooks, and Ariza, although nicknamed Iron Slag, Ariza's scoring ability is still very necessary for the Rockets.

But the Rockets are still a bit more defensive overall, with Hayes, Kyle Lowry, Ariza and Battier all weak defenders ('09), and only one Scola is left to help.

Scola doesn't jump high, doesn't run fast, and doesn't have a great reach. But Scola has excellent skills and strange steps. It feels good in the hand. In addition to his skills, Scola's awareness of the pitch is also superb, but it is of little use, and he has been targeted by Dunleavy's Camby, and there is no room for play.

So in the first quarter of the game, the Rockets ended the first quarter with 23 points to 26 points, 3 points behind the Clippers.

Brooks didn't play again until the end of the first quarter.

Although the Rockets have a lot of defensive players, they have a good shooting percentage in this game.

Substitute Battinger even hit two three-pointers, which is one of the reasons why the Rockets weren't led by that many points.

The bench bandits are really powerful!
