After returning to the break, after a short break, all the members of the Rocket team were engaged in intense training again, Cheng Lei was so busy that he didn't even have the opportunity to go to the store, Wu Chunlei has gradually become busy since he became Cheng Lei's agent, and as for the things in the store, it has been all handed over to Hicks and the two girls to take care of.

Two days later, on the sixth, the Rockets were at home against the Jazz.

The Utah Jazz have always been a tough team, and a large part of Da Yao's dream was extinguished by the Jazz, the Jazz's famous black and white, Karl Malone and Stockton, also made the team's reputation great, and then the Rockets' bitter masters Deron Williams and Boozer, they took the blocking and pick-and-roll skills to the extreme.

The current Jazz team, in the summer, lost the big man Haywood, and George Hill, but also attracted the golden boy Rubio, Sefrosa and Jerebko, although the strength has declined, there are not many of them, and there is little hope for the championship, but there should still be strength in the second round.

As the bitter master of the Rockets, I don't know why, every time the Jazz team plays the Rockets, they can always play super and cut the Rockets down many times.

In order to thank his friends for their recent busy efforts, Cheng Lei also booked tickets for all of them today, so that everyone can relax, although the position is not the front one, but it can be regarded as a frontal court, and it is not very bad.

"The Jazz team above the Rockets, this game is worth watching!" Wu Chunlei and the others said while checking the tickets.

"Why?" Hicks didn't seem to understand why Wu Chunlei would say that.

"The team we hated the most in China at that time was the Jazz!" Wu Chunlei explained with a smile: "If it weren't for the Jazz team back then, Da Yao might have gone further!" ”

"When you say that, it's true!"

Cheng Lei sat in the locker room, rubbing his head vigorously with both hands, as a Chinese, of course, he didn't have a good impression of the Jazz team.

"Ray, are you uncomfortable?" Paul walked over and saw Cheng Lei rubbing his head and asked.

"Paul, we can't lose this game!" Cheng Lei said seriously.

“HAT？ Ray, are you fighting high today! Paul nodded and said, "We're not going to lose!" ”

Bang bang bang...

Coach D'Antoni walked in, clapped his hands, and called everyone together to prepare for the pre-game meeting.

"Jazz, our old rival, is now ranked sixth in the West, everyone must be ready to fight a tough battle!" D'Antoni opened with a direct emphasis.

The ranking of the west is very tight, and if you lose a game, the ranking will drop a lot, and at this point, the east will be much more generous, and if the western ranking cannot be in the top eight, it may be placed in the east, and it is possible to rank six or seven.

'From October, they put Joe Johnson on the bench and it worked well, and then there will be a lot of pressure on our benches. Joe Johnson glanced at Cheng Lei, this task was obviously to be handed over to Cheng Lei.

"I'll do my best to defend him!" Cheng Lei said.

The original Eagle King Joe Johnson, his strength should not be underestimated, as for why he was removed from the position of the main force, a large part of the reason is related to his playing style, a lone wolf, after the ball is in his hands, he basically doesn't want to come back.

Placed on the bench is just the right thing for him to play the characteristics of a lone wolf and be responsible for the team's scoring.

The home court of the Rockets is always the most Chinese fans, no, not long after the ticket was checked, there were many fans in the stands pulling the Chinese bar.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing if the current team can get back the previous revenge on the Jazz team, although there is no Boozer, no Delon, and no Shuai.

On the Jazz side, for the Rockets, the morale of all the members is also high, all of them are like wolves, with green lights in their eyes, and they all want to prove their abilities in the Rockets.

Rubio, when he first came to the league, everyone's expectations for him were very high, as a European point guard, everyone thought that his achievements would be higher than Parker, but his development has not increased significantly.

The biggest reason is that his shooting is not on time, and his style of play is more like Rondo, which has deviated from the current trend of basketball development.

After Cheng Lei appeared on the field, the Chinese fans on the scene chanted Cheng Lei's name rhythmically, and the red flag in his hand kept waving.

"Wow, there are so many Chinese people here today!" Wu Chunlei sighed with emotion, and also waved the banner in his hand.

"It feels like I'm back in China!" Bingying didn't know where to get a red flag, and she was waving it.

Zhuo Jiayue held her chin, looked at Cheng Lei on the field with sparkling eyes, and smiled.

After the warm-up of the players of both sides, the game officially began.

Gobert, the Jazz's tactical center, is also the highest-paid player in the Jazz team now, with an annual salary of $21.22 million this year, such a high value can be compared to many top stars.

The Jazz can offer him such a high contract, because they value Gobert's ability, 2.16 is a very good height, and the weight has reached 111 kilograms, but he still has good mobility ability, which is definitely a big killer on the inside.

As the whistle blew, Gobert and Capela jumped up at the same time, stretched out their arms, and swiped as best they could towards the ball in the air.

In the aerial duel, Capela did not stand on any advantage, and Gobert took the lead and Capela tossed the ball out.

Golden boy Rubio, ball control is what he is good at, in terms of passing, he is definitely a master, with excellent vision.

Of course, Paul's defense against Rubio is also very interesting, and Rubio is directly released outside the three-point line, just like when he defended Rondo, you let the shot, and the shot is mine.

Rubio laughed self-deprecatingly, he really didn't give himself face.

Gobert quickly ran inside and started to get in position, and Capela was ready to defend Gobert.

The Jazz may have studied the video of the previous game of the Rockets, and the teams with super centers in everything are playing more difficult for the Rockets, and it just so happens that they also have a strong center on their side.

So, as it should be, the Jazz are ready to start playing from the inside.

After Rubio made a feint, he made a gesture to shoot, but Paul ignored him, just stood two meters away from him and looked at him, the consciousness, as if to say, you shoot!

After Rubio aimed at a basket, a high hoist passed directly to Gobert, who was stuck on the inside.

The tactics that were laid out before the game started with the first goal.

Gobert's technique is not very good, but it is basically enough to eat Capela, and after the body is pushed twice, although he does not advance much, but after a half turn, Capela can't jump up for the first time, Gobert hit the board with a hook hand and scored two points first.
