Early in the morning of the 4th, Sun Ce flew to Houston on a chartered flight with the team.

If it was last season, every time the Fire Bears battle would have sparked a basketball boom in Asia, especially when the Grizzlies played away from home in Houston, the United States has been very aggressive.

But this time, there was not even a live broadcast.

Yao Ming is too comfortable to play in Dallas!

The Mavericks are 2-1 in their first three games, and aside from the pain of Nowitzki's slow transition to a team-based scoring core, the Mavericks are gaining momentum.

Yao Ming played an average of less than 24 minutes per game in three games, averaging 19.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and his performance was terrifying! The 22 points in the first game and the 21 points in the second game were all scored in 25 minutes of playing time, and the efficiency was so high that the opposing center was feared.

Nowitzki is not the type who has to sacrifice his teammates to cooperate with him before he adapts to the team's team play style and is the core, he is trying to make the team play better in the process of his own transformation, temporarily reducing the tactical core to cooperate with his teammates.

Even if it is the core of the score, he will shoot about 20 times a game, and if you count free throws, at most about 25 shots, Nowitzki's tactical containment point is a focus of the Mavericks.

And Yao Ming has become the biggest beneficiary, after all, he is the strongest player in the Mavericks except for Nowitzki.

In other words, with Kidd in control, Coach Carlisle in charge of the overall situation, Nowitzki to play and cooperate, and Yao Ming with Chandler on the bench without worrying about physical problems, truly shows the ability that the most dominant center of our time should have!

Although the efficiency behind will definitely not be as explosive as the beginning, Nowitzki will gradually take control of the initiative after finding the feeling, and Yao Ming's performance behind is likely to decline, but Yao Ming's current performance is too terrible.

If Yao Ming retires directly, the Rockets may still maintain the name of "China's home team", but domestic fans have seen Yao Ming, the real strongest form of playing at the real championship level, the Rockets will not talk about maintaining the Chinese market, and public opinion will scold the Rockets for not using Yao Ming.

This is no longer the peak Yao Ming, Yao Ming averaged 25 points and 10 boards per game in the season when he was 26 years old, if the team can use it well and make his regular season easier, O'Neal has declined in those years, Howard is still in the growth period, but if the Rockets have a better record, Yao Ming will not just be a second team! You must know that Yao Ming only played 48 games in the second team, which is enough to prove his dominance in the eyes of the North American media.

However, Yao clearly convinced the Americans, and was selected to the All-Star team since his sophomore year, except for the year he didn't make the playoffs and his rookie season, and the rest of the seasons were all on the All-NBA team.

Sun Ce watched the schedule of the next six passengers on the plane.

The opening three consecutive wins are very sweet, and it is one game away from the first four consecutive wins in the team's history in the 04-05 season.

But the next wave of six-in-a-row guests is too difficult!

One of the hardest ...... It's still a Texas twin!

No. 5 hits Rocket, No. 7 hits Mavericks!

Starting from playing the Mavericks, it was a wave of 4 games in 5 days, after playing the Mavericks, they played the Nuggets back-to-back, then No. 10 and No. 11 played the Warriors and Suns back-to-back, and finally No. 13 flew back to the East to play the Bulls.

6 games in 9 days, and that's not all, from November 15th to November 30th, the Grizzlies still have 8 games.

The Grizzlies have been okay to watch the schedule all season, but the first month of the schedule is really tough and not so conducive to running-in.

But the schedule was arranged like this, and Sun Ce could only complain to his teammates.

It's Team Rocket...... Sun Ce looked at the scouting report sent by the coaching staff when he was on the plane this morning, and the Rockets were not easy to deal with!

At No. 2, the Rockets traded veteran Chauncey Billups from Brooks, whom the Nuggets didn't want, to an important summer signing, Courtney Lee, after a three-month contract period.

The Nuggets took a bite from the Rockets, corrected the point guard combination of Lowry and Lawson, and got rid of Billups' remaining two-year contract of more than $27 million.

The Rockets made a lot of money, but traded to Billups and had a core point guard who could knead Anthony and Al Jefferson, two big killers who can shoot in the low post.

Because Billups has experience controlling Anthony and allowing Anthony to play the best playoff of his career, the Rockets trade was highly rated by Billups in the scouting report, and the media rated the deal highly, and was seen as a win-win deal.

Sun Ce felt that this game had to continue to grind again, and defense was fundamental.

Thankfully, this is not a Texas triple, one less Spurs, otherwise it would really be peeling off the skin!

……

After Sun Ce and his teammates arrived at the hotel together, they rested for an afternoon, and in the evening, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, Jordan Jr., Randolph, Gay, Battier, and Gasol Jr. came to the Toyota Center to watch the game between the Rockets and the Celtics.

That means when they play the Rockets tomorrow, the Rockets will be in a back-to-back game, which is a good thing for the Grizzlies.

Tony Allen was originally called, but Tony Allen now hates green and declines their invitation, preferring to play a game of fishing with Paul George at the hotel.

Fishing, Sun Ce can be understood, but the fishing game ......

Everyone pays attention to the game differently, like Yi Jianlian, he is listening to Battier talk about tactics, he rarely replies, basically Battier takes care of him and tells him, but watching the game together with his teammates like this is something he has not had in the past three years.

Several other orchestra members watched the competition while discussing how to pull Yi Jianlian into the band, which was a challenging task, but the more challenging it was, the more they wanted to do it.

Sun Ce is analyzing the opponent's defense, the general direction of the team must be grinding positional battles and grinding defense, with a basic 10-man rotation like them, and Paul George, an alternate defensive genius, when available, it would be a pity not to play defense.

Therefore, the key to breaking through the offensive obstacle is here, and whether he can play the defensive counterattack is very important.

But after watching the Rockets' game, I found that it was not easy!

The Rockets traded Kevin Martin for Al Jefferson...... It's so bite!

According to the scouting report, due to the previous major injury, the athleticism declined, and he couldn't play the big forward, and the big AI increased his weight to 130 kilograms in order to play the center this summer, which can be seen in terms of body size, about the same height as Randolph, and his arms are thicker than Randolph!

Al Jefferson's speed is not good after playing a big forward injury, but he looks good at playing center, his athleticism looks good, playing Perkins is like playing, jumping hooks around the three-second zone, and he can shoot in all directions at 180 degrees without dead ends.

When the Celtics used Big O'Neal to defend the big AI, Al Jefferson also had a step-back jumper that shouldn't have his weight, and he could go as far as the free throw line and shoot two points in one step......

The only flaw of Al Jefferson playing center is that he can't prevent the opponent from playing high on the defensive end, but the tonnage card is also powerful, and the hard chisel is basically immovable, and the opponent only has the shooting accuracy of close distance to score on the inside.

The Celtics have indeed declined quite seriously this season, and it is also related to the fact that they were not very prepared to play in the regular season, and they only won 50 points in the regular season last season, and they still scored 32 points in the playoffs.

The Rockets defeated the Celtics 97-91 to turn their record into 2-2.

Al Jefferson's performance made Sun Ce worry about his center position, but the strongest opponent was still the melon Anthony who had the absolute upper hand in the opposite position with Pierce!

With Al Jefferson on the inside to contain the defense, Anthony had a happy mid-range shot today, and he was accurate, scoring a game-high 36 points on 14-of-24 shooting.

Billups looked like he had only seven points and five assists, but this game was very different from the season opener that Sun Ce watched on the night of October 30 between the Rockets and the Mavericks!

With Billups, the Rockets quickly got into the groove!

The most important thing is the resilience of the Rockets, which makes Sun Ce feel very familiar.

The Rockets players want to win in their bones! No matter how strange the team's crazy operation of saving money when Yao Ming has Yao Ming and throwing money crazy after Yao Ming is gone, the players really want to win, and they have Sun Ce's impression of the temperament that would rather not be able to enter the playoffs for three consecutive years than be bad.

Such an opponent...... It's a bit tricky!

……

……

The next morning, the Grizzlies arrived at the visiting team's training ground at the Toyota Center for a tactical meeting.

The Grizzlies' attitude to the game this year is very different from last season.

If it was last season, this situation of 6 games in 9 days, I would definitely set a goal, get 3 wins and 3 losses, and be done.

But this season is different, the idea of the coaching staff is to fight every game!

Coach Hollins is inflated right now, and he has someone under him! There are not many superstars, just Randolph, or Randolph who needs to lose weight.

But he has the best depth in the league! If you don't agree with him, he will give you a five-up-five-down or even send a pure defensive lineup, just like doing magic, grinding will grind you to death.

There is no doubt that the coaching staff's aggressive attitude of wanting to win every game is preferred by the players! Compared with last season's attitude of hiding from strong teams and catching weak teams, the players should agree more!

As long as you don't hold a thermos mug, you will want to prove yourself on the field.

Now in front of the Grizzlies players, it is once again starting to break all the records in team history.

For example, the ...... in front of you Team history starts with a winning streak!

Last night's game for the Rockets, the Grizzlies players were more or less concerned, after all, they were about to play the Rockets.

In terms of the resilience shown by the Rockets, as well as the performance of the two top players, the Grizzlies attach great importance to it and are actively preparing for the game.

At half past one in the afternoon, just as the Grizzlies players were about to run another side after their lunch break, Sun Ce's system prompt came.

About the opening streak event!
