This drink, knowing that two days later against the Grizzlies, everyone began to return to normal.

The first time I drank liquor, the stamina was beyond imagination, and after drinking the liquor, everyone was confused and didn't know how much foreign wine they had, but the next day because the whole staff was not in good condition, so, there was no training to make an exception, so everyone rested.

On the 24th, facing the Grizzlies at home, many reporters squatted at the Rockets' training ground early, hoping to take some pictures of the Rockets' training, but unfortunately, the reporters were disappointed, and the Rockets only arranged symbolic shooting exercises, not even the full-court confrontation exercises.

What's going on? The reporters were speechless for a while, for the first time in so many years of experience, they had seen the team only conduct simple shooting practice before the game.

The reporters also paid close attention to Harden's injury, and after looking around, they didn't find Harden's shadow, and it seems that he won't play again today.

The Memphis Grizzlies, who joined the NBA in 1995, used to have their home court in Vancouver, until 01, when they moved their home court back to Memphis, which is now known as the Memphis Grizzlies.

In recent years, the Grizzlies have an obvious feature, that is, the interior line is very powerful, and when all teams are chasing small ball play, they still insist on focusing on the inside.

The Grizzlies' style of play benefits from the strength of Gasol Jr.'s interior line, and in the face of a team with a small-ball style of play, he is like a fish in water, and no one can effectively limit him on the inside.

The biggest reason why they can't produce results is due to injuries, and the Grizzlies have been suffering from injuries in recent years, which directly affects them to go further.

Theoretically, the starting five Tigers sent by the Grizzlies should be Mike Conley, Ben McLemore, Chandler Parsons, Brandon Wright, and Marc Gasol.

It's a pity that Parsons hasn't played much since he came to the Grizzlies, with constant injuries, and he is simply a cancer on the team, with an expensive salary, which doesn't help the team at all.

Before the game was about to start, D'Antoni was still struggling with how to arrange the lineup today, although the players were relieved today, but obviously the state was not very good.

Cheng Lei is quite normal, after drinking the liquor that day, he went back in advance, as for the specific time when the others drank, he didn't know, he only knew that the next day, the training was originally arranged normally, and there was still a smell of alcohol on these people.

Toyota Center, which should be regarded as the home stadium with the most Chinese, is familiar with red, filling the entire stadium, and it is often only open for more than ten minutes, and the seats inside are almost full.

The commentators on the commentator are still Kenyon Martin, as well as an old acquaintance of the Rockets, Van Gundy Jr.

"Wow wow... I'm a little envious of the Rockets, no matter what time it is, there is no shortage of fans at their home court! Kenyon Martin said with emotion.

"Of course, behind Team Rocket, there is the largest market, and this year's Team Rocket, the strength should not be underestimated!" Van Gundy Jr. praised.

"Wow, what did I see, the Grizzlies actually put Parsons in the starting lineup!" Glancing at the starting lineup on the big screen, Kenyon Martin exaggerated.

Parsons has been away from the game for a long time, and his contract, known as the Grizzlies' biggest cancer, has been the focus of ridicule.

"Don't forget, he was traded from the Rockets, and maybe he wanted to prove himself in front of the Rockets today!" Little Van Gundy said seriously.

"Forget it, I think it's better for him to be a male model!"

On the Rockets' side, this lineup, Kenyon Martin is about to drop his jaw in shock, what is the situation? Learn from Popovich?

Blake, Cheng Lei, Tucker, Capela, Zhou Qi.

"Coach Van Gundy, do you think D'Antoni has any other purpose in starting the line-up?" Kenyon Martin asked Van Gundy Jr.

"Maybe you want to fight the Grizzlies on the inside!" Little Van Gundy guessed.

As for why this arrangement, only D'Antoni himself knows that there is no way, those people, it is estimated that they were injured, although they recovered, but the state is a mess, there is no way, so they can only start like this.

The Grizzlies let go of Randolph, and now, there is only a little Gasol left in the strong point of the interior line, and the Rockets are expected to have a certain effect in this formation, Kenyon Martin guessed.

As the whistle blew, the first meeting between the Rockets and the Grizzlies of the new season officially began.

Jumping ball, as soon as the ball was thrown into the air, Zhou Qi jumped up directly, this was Zhou Qi's first time playing as a starter, and now, the whole person was excited.

Gasol Jr. is still experienced, and after Zhou Qi jumped up, he jumped, and his body in the air clicked on Zhou Qi, the weight difference between the two was really a bit much, just like that, Zhou Qi just went to the center of gravity.

With a flick in the air, the ball reached McConley, and as an All-Star level point guard, Conley was very old enough to control the rhythm.

He understands very well that the advantage of his team is in the inner line, and if he wants the inner line to exert the greatest power, he must wait for the position to attack and not rush.

Conley's style of play is very steady, and his mid-range shooting is also very good.

However, compared to Blake, Conley's chances have the upper hand across the board.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' first offense was handed to Gasol Jr.

After settling down, Gasol Jr. didn't use all his strength, so he stuck Zhou Qi behind him, reached out and asked for the ball directly, Conley made a feint and passed the ball to Parsons.

Parsons is still very bluffing, he hasn't played for a while, and everyone doesn't know his current specific level, and they don't dare to be careless.

So, when Parsons showed up to shoot, Tucker directly blocked it.

Parsons didn't shoot with his feet, but hoisted the ball straight inside.

into the hands of Gasol Jr.

Bang... Bang...

After two dull dribbles, Gasol Jr. directly squeezed Zhou Qi away, played a basket and scored two points first.

"No, although Zhou Qi has height, there is too much difference in weight and strength between the two, and little Gasol is on the inside, and he plays too easily!" Little Van Gundy said directly.

After Gasol Jr. scored, Capela didn't say a word, served directly from the bottom line, and Blake didn't stop and accelerated directly through the half.

According to Coach D'Antoni's arrangement, the offensive core on the field is Cheng Lei now, and after half time, the command was handed over to Cheng Lei, and Blake's role was made a shooter.

When McLemore was defending Cheng Lei, he didn't care too much about Cheng Lei, a rookie, how much he could be awesome, so he directly let Cheng Lei take a small step.

gave a chance, if you don't vote, it's not Cheng Lei.

Swish!

"You think you're Curry? How naïve! Seeing Cheng Lei directly pull up the shot, McLemore felt that he was being slighted.

However, when McLemore pounced, he found that Cheng Lei's ball had actually been shot, and the speed of the shot was too fast.

The ball draws a beautiful arc, the opening is good, and the ball goes in.
