Summer league is a good stage for rookies and players at the end of the team's regular rotation to show their abilities.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Cheng Lei only played two games, and he was firmly pressed on the bench, as for the reason, even Cheng Lei himself couldn't say clearly.

The team's formal training has also begun for a while, and this season, the Rockets spent a lot of money to trade over the league's top point guard Chris Paul, which directly raised the overall strength of the Rockets by a few notches and became a favorable contender for the championship.

However, not many people are optimistic that the Rockets can win the championship, because the Warriors team that overwhelms the West is really terrifying.

In training, Cheng Lei didn't get too many opportunities to score, and the team's positioning for himself was to be a defensive striker, with a similar function to Ariza, who could defend against people, and he could shoot three points after the end.

It just so happens that Cheng Lei is good at these two points, so the Rocket team directly chose Cheng Lei.

Moreover, Cheng Lei himself has worked hard enough, since he was selected by the Rocket team, he has not lowered his requirements for himself, and he usually works hard to train with the trainer.

The Cheng Lei physical measurement data obtained by the Rocket team is also very conspicuous, which makes them very happy and feels that they have found a treasure.

The sharp rise in the growth period and the special diet in North Carolina made Cheng Lei's height rise to 193CM all of a sudden, although there is still a trend of growth, but it is not so obvious.

WEIGHS 82KG, THE SAME HEIGHT, THE WEIGHT IS NOT VERY HEAVY, BUT THE CORE STRENGTH SHOWN BY CHENG LEI IS VERY STRONG.

THE ARM SPAN OF 205CM IS NOT VERY GOOD, BUT IT IS A VERY MODEST LENGTH.

Vertical bounce, under Cheng Lei's intentional control, the data is controlled at about 93, if you go all out, this height may be greatly improved.

THE BENCH PRESS 130KG, WHICH IS A VERY GOOD RESULT IN THE SAME HEIGHT, IS GENERALLY THE CURRENT CENTER, WHICH IS THIS VALUE.

As for speed, it can only be said that Cheng Lei has a great advantage, Paul's round trip to the restricted area after coming to the Rocket: 11.09 seconds, 3\/4 sprints: 3.22 seconds, Cheng Lei is even faster.

The 17-18 season really kicked off, the opening game of the Rockets, against the Golden State Warriors, who have the highest probability of winning the championship, this is Paul's debut after coming to the Rockets, and of course, it is also Cheng Lei's debut with the Rockets.

Cheng Lei is looking forward to playing against Curry, after all, his template is him, and he is very curious about what Curry's expression would be if he saw a player who played like him.

However, when it comes to offensive ability, the current Curry is still stronger than Cheng Lei, which Cheng Lei himself is very aware of, but Cheng Lei's biggest advantage is defense, and his strong physical fitness gives him unparalleled defensive ability.

This game has also attracted much attention in China, and the whole process was broadcast live on TV, for a very simple reason, can you imagine seeing two Chinese faces in the same team before?

Now, there are two genuine Chinese people in Team Rocket, which makes many Chinese people have a different kind of affection for Team Rocket.

Visiting the home court of the Warriors, the scene was extremely hot, and the audience came to the stands early, two teams that are now the top teams in the league, favorable contenders for the championship, and the first time the two pairs met in the new season, which was full of ignition.

The Warriors' lineup has not changed much, and there has been no large-scale recruitment throughout the offseason, however, the aura of the championship is there, and many good stars have chosen to cut prices and come here.

The Warriors put forward a starting lineup of Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green, plus blue-collar center Pachuria.

Don't underestimate this Pachuria, as long as he stands on the inside, he is absolutely deterrent and his movements are notoriously dirty, and when facing him, most players will be cautious and can't let go.

As for the Rockets, they sent a lineup of Paul, Harden, Ariza, Anderson, plus Capela.

"Cheng Lei, are you nervous?" Zhou Qi looked at Cheng Lei and asked.

It's false to say that he is not nervous, this is the first time Cheng Lei has officially stood on the NBA court, facing so many audiences and countless shots.

"It's a little exciting, but I still don't feel very real!" Cheng Lei said excitedly.

"That's how I came here, it's the same when I get used to it!" Zhou Qi comforted Cheng Lei, as Cheng Lei's predecessor, he is also Chinese, so naturally he has the best relationship with Cheng Lei.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA, do a good job!" The boss of the team, Harden, patted Cheng Lei on the shoulder and said.

Cheng Lei walked out of the players' tunnel with the players, came to the court, and began to warm up before the game.

"Ray, come on!" Hicks and Morgan had somehow gotten their hands on a ticket that was higher in the field, and right now, they were waving it vigorously with a bar.

"Who is this guy? Why does Team Rocket have another yellow-skinned kid? The courageous fan, who usually doesn't pay attention to the rockets, suddenly saw two yellow-skinned people warming up there, and asked suspiciously.

"How do I know, I can't beat our warriors anyway!" Another Warriors fan on the side said.

"The Rockets are not weak this season, with Paul, it is estimated that they can just have a wave with the Warriors!"

"No kidding, I think, Team Rocket can't do it!"

There were a lot of Warriors fans in the stands, and almost all of them were supporting the Warriors.

Harden and Durant were both the Thunder's three young at the time, and their relationship was naturally good, and after chatting for a while in the halftime, the two dispersed.

After the warm-up, with a whistle, the game officially began.

Cheng Lei, as a newcomer to the team, made it to the back of the bench and played the role of the water cooler administrator, which can't be helped, although his qualifications are the most tender.

The Rockets won possession first.

Paul has advanced quickly, and since the change of head coach D'Antoni, the Rockets' offensive tempo has been very fast, and the offensive rounds are also among the best in the league.

In the current era of small ball, this tactic is undoubtedly very useful, which also allows the Rockets to see the opportunity to win the championship.

As one of the league's top ball control masters, he watched and listened to all directions, and after halftime, his teammates' blocking and dismantling allowed Harden to appear as a point guard, Paul passed directly and the ball went to Harden's hands.

Directly shot three points, without hesitation at all.

Swish!

It felt good, straight into the net, and the leader of the team, James Harden, made the first three-pointer after the opening of the new season.

D'Antoni has a smile on his face, this lineup is the lineup of his dreams, the height that he did not reach with Nash before, maybe, the current Rockets, can reach.

This lineup is very similar to the Suns he led back then, but compared to the Suns he brought before, the current Rockets have stronger offensive capabilities.
