For the first Chinese derby, it is natural for China to broadcast live.

However, this is probably the first time in China to broadcast the NBA live in the middle of the night, generally speaking, the earliest games played in the East are basically not broadcast live in China, so the Hawks' games are arranged relatively late this year, and the NBA arranges the schedule in addition to the popular teams first, and the live broadcast time is also the focus of consideration.

used to stay up late to watch football, and domestic fans finally stayed up late to watch the NBA again, the time of the game between the Hawks and the Rockets was half past one in the afternoon, and it was almost around 12 o'clock in the morning in China.

I don't know if it's to make a certain big fat man unhappy,. T Basketball Channel.

Barkley was looking at the two close-ups of Liu Mang and Yao Ming side by side, and he really didn't know which side to blow or spray.

Both of these guys look like bastards to Barkley!

One makes Buckley pole dance, the other lets Buckley kiss the ass of a donkey, it's all assholes! None of them are good people.

So, Kenny Smith made a smooth opening introduction in a very unaccustomed situation, Barkley didn't say a word, didn't bother Kenny Smith at all, and made Kenny Smith feel so relaxed in the opening commentary for the first time, but a little less fun.

……

After the Perfect Empire anthem, the starters of both teams took the field.

The Eagles' starting picks have changed today!

"Ding...... Trait: Pretend you're a sub, triggered, triggered 1 times, max 31 times remaining. ”

"Ding...... Bench bandit triggers, the host now has an ability value of 79, 88 three-point shots, 82 mid-range shots, 85 layups, 94 speed, 79 strength, and 92 ...... bounce.

Huh, today's boss Steven Price strongly asked Liu Mang to play the starter, originally Liu Mang did not agree, but seeing a lot of Chinese fans at the scene, and thinking that it was the most important live broadcast in China today, the main thing is to play for a while to find more opportunities to block Yao Ming, so he temporarily asked the coach to say that he wanted to play the starter today.

The reason is that he wants to fight Yao Ming as a starter.

Dean Grove doesn't have any opinion, he was originally a pseudo-starter, he just renewed his contract with the Hawks for two years, with an average annual salary of 1 million, and his contract expires in 05, and he doesn't plan to continue playing basketball after that, he wants to help the Eagles win the championship in the last two years or so, and then go to be a ...... Painter.

When Dean Grove told Liu Mang and other teammates that his dream was to become a painter, everyone was in a state of collapse.

I don't want a good NBA million dollars a year's salary, but I want to retire when I was just 29 years old in 05 and at the peak of my peak to become a painter who basically has no possibility of making money.

Liu Mang found out that many people in the NBA are delayed artists, and in the future, there will be a Larry Sanders who will give up his salary of more than 10 million US dollars a year to learn to paint.

As a result, today's Hawks starters became Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.

The Rockets' starters are Old Cat Francis, Old Cat Mobley, James Posey, Eddie Griffin, Yao Ming.

James Posey is the Rockets' full-fledged small forward who was traded back in mid-December through a three-way trade with the 76ers and Nuggets and used rebounding maniac Kenny Thomas.

Kenny Thomas is too short, only two meters and one, and the height difference between him and Yao Ming is a bit too cute, coupled with the talent shown by Liu Mang's rookie Eddie Griffin in his rookie year, Kenny Thomas's presence has an impact on Griffin's development, so he has changed back to a defensive giant.

The fans watched Liu Mang take off his training uniform and shoot on the court before the game started, and they were surprised and began to cheer!

This is Liu Mang's first debut!

has never started, Liu Mang is a little excited!

This is probably a real match against the opponent's strongest lineup.

In the past, when Liu Mang came on the bench, although most of the time he was also in opposition to the opponent's main defender, he was already a star who had been consumed by his teammates, and now he was in the opposite position with the opponent's full physical strength of the main defender, which was the first time!

Liu Mang looked at Boss Fu, whose expression was always that others owed him money, and looked at the tomato-colored jersey with white board and blue stripes, and really missed it, Liu Mang remembered that Yao Ming's rookie year, the Rockets were this set of away fans, and they will change to the fiery red jerseys that Chinese fans love next season.

To say that the fan design of the Rockets has changed twice in two years, and it has continued for more than ten years since then, it is not to cater to domestic fans, he definitely doesn't believe it!

As if feeling Liu Mang's gaze, Francis turned his head to look at Liu Mang, and gave Liu Mang a childish look.

Liu Mang decisively pulled the apple muscle and stuck out his tongue at Francis and grimaced.

As soon as Francis saw that he was lying in the groove, he dared to make a grimace at the uncle, and immediately pulled his temples and shook his head to return Liu Mang's grimace.

Liu Mang saw Francis's expression, and Nima was actually more mocking than the master's expression, no! Decisively push your nose up......

Inexplicably, the two started a grimace battle, so they couldn't die, the chief cameraman saw this scene, and hurriedly mobilized the opportunity to broadcast the grimace battle between the two on the big screen on the spot.

The two who were fighting grimaces heard laughter from the scene and suddenly reacted, this is the live broadcast of the game from all over the world!

What to do!

It's embarrassing!

The two retracted their expressions very tacitly, as if nothing had happened, and each returned to the top of the three-point line in their respective halves, waiting for their teammates to jump the ball.

The teammate of the two, Huangguoshu Waterfall Khan: These two living treasures!

Finally, when the scene was out of control for a while, the game began!

The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air, Yao Ming won the jump ball with an absolute elevation advantage and a fairly good bounce, Francis received the ball, and the Rockets attacked first.

Waiting for Yao Ming to settle down, Francis slowly advanced.

"Steve Francis: Ability 87 (peak), 77 three-pointers, 79 shots, 92 layups, 91 speed, 87 power......"

"Cardino Mobley: Ability 83 (peak), 79 three-pointers, 80 shots, 84 layups, 88 speed, 78 power......"

Looking at this fierce outside combination, Liu Mang was under a lot of pressure, and he could only limit one of them no matter what!

Liu Mang still chose the most difficult Francis, this year and next year are probably the two years of Francis's peak, and next season seems to be the only time in his career to make the playoffs, in the period when Yao Ming was still young, Francis is obviously the most critical player for the Rockets.

Liu Mang was ready to make hard steel with Francis, and tried the feeling of being a car with his mantis arm again, Francis's physical fitness was too explosive.

But unexpectedly, Francis dribbled to a 45-degree angle on the left side, and then waited for Yao Ming to pull away to the middle distance of the right baseline, Eddie Griffin pulled to the top arc and James Posey blocked without the ball, and the old cat Mobley fell to the low post and leaned on Jason Terry to single!

Watching Francis pass the ball to the old cat Mobley, Mobley received the ball, slowly squeezed Jason Terry, squeezed to the edge of the three-second zone, suddenly turned right, grazed the baseline and flew to the basket, although Ratliffe quickly retracted to make up for the defense, but Mobley's left-handed layup angle was too tricky, a lever in the air, from the other side of the basket hit the rebound and fell into the basket!

Wipe!

Liu Mang was surprised that this old cat had also improved! Last year, I didn't have this low-level stunt! In the past, the old cat Mobley's main scoring means was three-point shooting and blocking and breaking through the use of speed and bounce to impact the basket, and this year even has a back hit, which is a big dream of paying money to just lose his job!

You are not the only one who has progressed!

There was no chance to counterattack at the beginning, except for Yao Ming, the Rockets returned to defense quickly, not to mention the three outside lines, all of them were full of physical fitness, and Griffin, the big forward, was a top-talented physical fitness man, and he was very fast in defense.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court.

The Eagles' tactics are the same, after Raheem sits in the low post, Liu Mang passes the ball to the boss, and the boss comes first.

Raheem received the ball and sat down unceremoniously with James Posey, who was several centimeters shorter than him and a lot thinner.

James Posey is suitable for defending the technical flow forward, and Gasol, who was at the peak of his defense in '08, is his famous series, but he really can't defend against this kind of thick and hard, and Eddie Griffin has been in the past.

At this time, Liu Mang saw Yao Ming alone under the basket and Latliff and Muhammad, his eyes lit up, and he rushed into the basket while Francis was unprepared.

Raheem saw the situation and gave the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball after entering the free throw line, and excitedly stepped into the free throw line and jumped high!

Mission accomplished!

Yao Ming moved to the outside of the reasonable collision zone line at this time and wanted to block Liu Mang, but he was just blocked by Ratliff and couldn't jump, so he could only block in front of Liu Mang, unable to jump up and block!

Liu Mang was very excited! After confronting Yao Ming for a while, he slashed the ball to the basket!

But! Just when Liu Mang split the ball down, because Yao Ming hindered it for a few tenths of a second, Francis flew out from behind and chased after the big hat! Fan the ball directly on the rebound!
