Chapter 1072: Team Rocket Has a Chance? (Fourth Update!) )
In other words, if you want to get a foothold in the NBA, you have to take your chances.
The half is so big, the opponent's defense will come quickly, fast shooting is an opportunity, and a slow shot is a waste of opportunity.
You can take your time to hang meat, but you have to hurry up, otherwise two points will not work, offense will not work, defense will not work, and the opportunity will slip away in the next second.
Practice the speed of shooting, Yi Jianlian can turn to the 3D inner line, and Zhou Qi can also do it.
And Zhou Qi has better physical talent, and he has more advantages on the defensive end.
"You can try to let Brother Tang take you to practice in the summer, he has a lot of guest rooms there, but you have to pay the rent."
Ding Yanyuhang said half-jokingly on the side.
That's something he's experienced perfectly this past summer.
Zhou Qi smiled and waved his hand, and the joke was over.
Tang Tian shook his head slightly at this time.
To say that Zhou Qi's physical condition is really good, he can really gain a foothold in the NBA and play something by slowly hanging up the meat.
It's a pity that this aggressiveness is too low, Ding Yanyuhang is actually giving him a hint, but he doesn't have that idea.
"Zhou Qi, many times things that seem to be opportunities, you have to fight for them, this is the NBA, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a place where the weak eat the strong.
And the opportunity is really rare, don't wait for the opportunity to come and say you're not ready, no one will give you a chance at that time. ”
Tang Tian said earnestly.
Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Tang Tian didn't say anything more.
Everyone's personality is different, to say that because of him, Zhou Qi's current opportunities are even better than in history.
But he also did the reminder that he should do, and whether he can grasp it depends on Zhou Qi himself.
After all, the relationship between him and Zhou Qi is only a national team teammate.
The Rockets beat the Grizzlies by 30 points in their first game and got themselves off to a good start to the new season.
While Cousins can't play, Capela has shown some improvement.
Even within the Rockets, there are already high-level executives who believe that Capela's presence can allow them to let go of Cousins' voice.
Coupled with the addition of Ariza, the Rockets' forward strength has greatly increased.
They are more confident this season than in the previous two seasons.
Even after his first game, Morey said in front of reporters that he did not regret the summer trade.
"It's their ability to put together a roster like that, and we got a good enough return from that trade that I believe this team is still the favorite to win the championship."
This sentence also greatly boosted the confidence of Rockets fans.
Past failures have taught them that it is not that the stronger the lineup on paper, the farther they can go, it depends on whether it is the most suitable.
Now they look like the right lineup.
On the night of the game, the Toyota Center was extremely lively, and a large number of Chinese fans appeared in the stadium.
In fact, not only the game site, but also in front of the TV set on the other side of the ocean, countless Chinese fans waited in front of the TV, waiting to watch this derby battle.
Players from both sides entered the field one after another to warm up.
Nash was mentoring Siakam and Kuzma individually.
He is quite fond of these two forward lines of the Pelicans.
At this time, although the entrance ceremony has not yet begun, and the starting lineups of the two sides have not yet been released, the 12-man squad has come out.
To the delight of Chinese fans, Zhou Qi on the Rockets' side and Ding Yanyuhang on the Pelicans' side both entered the activation list.
It's not necessarily there, but it's good for fans to have anticipation.
During the warm-up, Tang Tian went over to say hello to Ariza, who had been teammates with Tang Tian for three years and had a very good relationship.
After the warm-up of both sides, the scene soon entered the entrance ceremony.
On the Pelicans' side, as in the last game, the Big Four plus Dedmon's starting lineup, which is also the team's regular lineup for the new season.
The Rockets' starters were the same as the last game.
Paul and Harden on the outside, Ariza and Tucker on the front, Capela on the center.
This is the third year that Paul and Harden have been partnered, and the two also had a good understanding before the game.
After the appearance ceremony, Paul stood on the baseline, Harden pretended to run over and hit him, then Paul dodged, and Harden bumped into the pad under the basket.
This is the unique way for the star duo to warm up before the debut.
The final tactical arrangement session ended, and the starters of both sides appeared one after another.
The photographer on the scene gave Tang Tian a separate shot.
In the last game, Tang Tian's action of throwing magnesium powder ushered in a wave of heated discussions among fans after the game.
Although many fans are excited, there are also some fans of James who are attacking Tang Tian.
In this context, whether Tang Tian will continue to throw magnesium powder is also a matter of concern.
Tang Tian's choice was to continue to throw.
When he threw the magnesium powder into the air, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit fried.
This is really going to snatch this exclusive action out of James's hands!
In the agitation of the fans, Capela turned the ball back to the Rockets half, officially kicking off the new season of the Pelicans.
Harden's outside ball, Capella's blocking, Harden's step-back three-point shot directly.
It's a simple choice, and it's in line with Harden's basketball philosophy, where efficiency is king, and the way is casual.
Dedmon didn't react.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Harden takes the top spot for the Pelicans!
There were cheers at the scene.
Unlike the Lakers, Bucks, and even the Thunder, the Rockets have outside firepower, and after Ariza joined, that firepower has become even stronger.
The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and Walker and Davis played pick-and-rolls, broke inside and met Tucker's throw.
"Bang dang!"
Tucker put a lot of pressure on the defense, and Walker's throw didn't go through.
Tucker turned and struggled to grab a defensive rebound.
The Pelicans' first offense missed.
The Rockets played again in the frontcourt, and Harden burst in after the block, and gave the ball to the bottom corner of Ariza.
Ariza was able to shoot much faster than Morris before him, before Butler could get back into the game.
"Huh!"
Also enter!
6 to 0!
The Rockets were in pretty hot form after the opening game.
And that's not all, looking back, Davis's low-post turnaround board was also deflected by Ariza's assistive defense.
The crowd cheered and whistled incessantly.
Team Rocket has a good chance!
The Rockets do have a chance, and Walker and Davis look to be in average form tonight.
They made several shots to no avail, and the pick-and-roll did not play to the same advantage as the previous game.
On the contrary, on the Rockets' side, the wing composed of Ariza and Tucker greatly improved the team's defense, and Harden had a good touch on the offensive end.
The game played more than 5 minutes, and the score on the court was 12-4, and the Rockets took the lead.
The Rockets fans at the scene were also extremely excited to see this.
Watching the Pelicans' previous games felt like facing an invincible giant, but tonight was the start.
Team Rocket really has a chance!
