Chapter 135: Bench Bandits

Countless applause, mixed with messy Chinese and English shouts, Lu Fei trotted all the way into the field, high-fived his teammates standing in a row, and walked to the end of the team to stand there.

The last to appear is the supersonic star of the house, Ray Allen.

Lei Allen even had an illusion when he walked out of the field, and he always felt that the cheering applause was not as fierce as when Lu Fei came on the field just now.

The Rockets wore the away red jersey and the starting lineup was: Steve Francis, Catino Mobley, Jim Jackson, Kevin Cato, Yao Ming.

Before Yao Ming joined the Rockets, Cato had always been the center that the Rockets couldn't beat, and after Yao Ming arrived, Cato could only play the unfamiliar power forward position, which also made his stats plummet.

SuperSonics wore a white jersey and started with Lu Fei, Ray Allen, Vladimir Radmanovic, Rashad Lewis, Memet Oku.

Yao Ming and Okwu jumped the ball, neither of them was a player who was good at bouncing, and the basketball was eventually dialed by the taller Yao Ming.

Francis took the ball and took a powerful step to take it across the front court, and it was Lu Fei who had gone head-to-head with him on the pitch a few months ago.

Francis's official height is 191 cm, but compared with Lu Fei, he is slightly shorter than Lu Fei. Lu Fei knew that Francis's breakthrough was fast, so he pressed his center of gravity very low.

However, Francis did not break through, but transferred the ball to the hands of Yao Ming on the inside.

Maybe it's just a preseason game, and Oku didn't defend ruthlessly, which also gave Yao Ming a good opportunity to attack, of course, he couldn't prevent it with a ruthless hand.

Yao Ming leaned his back against Oku and first observed the situation of his teammates.

"Yao, hit it inside!" Lu Fei was standing at the three-point line at this time, just on the bench of the Rockets, and he immediately heard a loud voice shouting from the sidelines.

Lu Fei glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and the first thing he saw was a shiny braincase.

The new head coach of the Rockets, Jeff Van Gundy.

Yao Ming heard Van Gundy's request, dribbled and squeezed two steps inside, came to the position under the basket and directly hooked his hand, and the basketball obediently drilled into the basket.

2:0

Lu Fei and Yao Ming trained together for a summer, and he sometimes wondered, why could Yao Ming be so big and practice the hook hand so well, and those centers who were shorter than him in the future would be not as good as one?

……

Lu Fei received Oku's serve and took the ball over the halfway line.

Francis clapped his hands and said, "Hey, you scored last time in heads-up, don't think about scoring again this time." ”

"Really?"

Lu Fei smiled, and suddenly a quick body change towards Francis's left-hand side to break through, Francis was not slow on the soles of his feet, and hurriedly retreated, but unfortunately crashed into Oku's body.

Yao Ming hadn't gained weight at this time, so he hurriedly pounced, Lu Fei looked back at the moon, threw the ball back, and Oku received the ball and stood outside the three-point line ignoring Francis's defense and opened his hand to shoot.

Swish!

2:3

This kind of blocking and dismantling cooperation is the easiest way to play a tall center like Yao Ming, and the teams in the NBA have been playing like this since Yao Ming first entered the league until Yao Ming retired.

It's just that some teams have a striker, and some don't.

It just so happens that supersonic now has one.

……

Turning around, Francis broke through Lu Fei hard, and did not choose to pass in the face of Oku's supplementary defense, but directly pulled the rod to make a layup.

Lu Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, with such a style of play, no wonder Van Gundy didn't like it.

Francis's defense was only hot for three minutes, and as soon as the two rounds passed, Lu Fei felt that it was much easier to break through him, and then Lu Fei rushed into the Rockets' restricted area like visiting his own garden.

As long as someone comes to the flank, he's a pass.

The three musketeers of Ray Allen, Lewis and Radmanovic threw away, but it was still Ray Allen who had the highest hit percentage.

Lewis and Radmanovic seemed to be as casual as their defense.

If you shoot a three-pointer, you have to pose to show it.

Turning his head, even Jackson and Cato of the average level can be demanded above their heads, Lu Fei really doesn't know how embarrassed they are.

Jackson and Cato were instructed by Yao Ming to turn the tide on the front line, and Lewis and Radmanovic were powerless to fight back.

McMillan's face on the sidelines is not good-looking, although it is only a preseason, but this kind of defense is really unseemly.

He glanced at the game time, and six minutes had passed since the first season of the game.

Daniels saw McMillan stand up, and quickly sat upright and looked ready to be called.

"Dio, Collisson, you're ready to play." McMillan said in a deep voice.

Dio and Collison were stunned when they heard McMillan's words, and then reacted and prepared to stretch on the sidelines.

The two of them are just rookies, and everything is arranged by the coach.

What's more, this arrangement is to give them playing time.

Soon, in the cheers of the fans, Dior and Collison replaced Radmanovic and Lewis, Radmanovic and Lewis easily walked off the field and sat on the stool, they were very satisfied with their performance today, although they did not guard the opposing players, but the two of them scored 7 points each in just a few minutes.

At this pace, the score of two people after the whole game will be twenty!

Large contracts are expected.

The more they looked at Lu Fei, the more pleasing they became, and even the towel handed over by Daniels was reluctant to take it in their hands. The two of them are not stupid, and they can see that Daniels wants to squeeze out Lu Fei's starter.

But I don't pee like I look like I am, and I didn't even mix the first round of substitutes, so I wanted to squeeze the starter, and my brain was afraid that it would be squeezed by the door.

But they didn't realise their problems, they thought it was just a pre-season game, and last season they were used to only attacking and not defending, so they didn't care about being replaced.

If you can paddle, it's good that you don't have to exert yourself.

Although the score on the field is still 19:17 is quite close, in their opinion, this is not their pot, and the opponent's highest score is still their center Yao Ming.

If McMillan knew what they were thinking, he would have thrown the coffee in his face in his hand: when Oku is blocked, you should make up for it!

With the arrival of Christian Dior and Collisson, the situation on the pitch changed.

Although they are only rookies, they don't need to be responsible for offense on the court, Collison is responsible for defensive cover and fighting for rebounds, Dio has become a pivot at this time, and after Lu Fei arrives in the front court, the first choice is to give the ball to Dio.

After all, I have been teammates before, and I know more about Dior's abilities.

Lu Fei began to cut through the air with the help of Collisson's cover, while Ray Allen on the other side also started to run from the other corner.

Mobley didn't keep up, and Ray Allen turned around with a cold arrow.

Francis's defense was still so-so, but he didn't bother to chase Lu Fei's footsteps after the two covers, Lu Fei received a pass and threw it directly in the face of Yao Ming's supplementary defense, and Oku didn't know when he was ambushed in the bottom corner and shot three-pointed.

In the final minutes of the first quarter, Ray Allen was also substituted for the break.

Korver plays.

On the court, it's the equivalent of four rookies plus Oku's lineup.

And the Rockets also changed to a bench lineup.

However, Lewis and Radmanovich, who were sitting on the sidelines, found that when Ray Allen was on the court just now, the main lineup of the Rockets was only slightly stretched.

So at this time, facing the opponent's substitute lineup, in just two minutes, the game was actually spent by their four rookies?

These four rookies, are they bandits?
