After talking to Yao Ming, Hardaway also took the initiative to come over to catch up.

Taking advantage of the gap between the start of the game, Barkley also rushed to be a reporter on the sidelines to interview Hu Qingniu and ask questions.

"Coach Doctor, can you tell us about your tactics for this game?"

Hu Qingniu laughed and said.

"Of course, no problem, my tactical strategy is to put the Rockets below 100 points, and we get more than 100 points ourselves."

Barkley: "......"

After the start of the game, unexpectedly, the Rockets were well prepared, and as soon as they came up, Yao Ming, Hardaway, Battier and shooter Miller hit 4 consecutive goals to lead the team to a perfect start of 9:0!

The Bobcats were a bit slow to heat up today, and that's the gap in preparation. The Bobcats have rested for more than a week, and the atmosphere of the fierce game with the Heat has long since dissipated, and the players' arms and legs are a little rusty, which is commonly known as "rest"!

The first four attacks of the Rockets were all catch-off routines, the offense was simple, fast and effective, this is the rhythm of the offense as soon as it comes up, striving to gain a certain advantage first, and strike first.

Hu Qingniu hurriedly asked for a timeout, and the players looked at each other on the court, and they were stopped after only two minutes of the game, which was different from what they expected. They thought they had done their best on the field, but they didn't expect to be able to prevent any of them.

Now that the Rockets opened the game with their own style, Hu Qingniu meant that the Bobcats had to play their own style as well.

The Bobcats' style is different from that of the Rockets, who rely on the inside and outside duo, with Hardaway and Yao Ming's containment and individual ability to prop up the team system. The Bobcats' system is much more complex, with two leaders on the team, Wade and O'Neal rarely working directly together. Wade generally plays blocking and dismantling with Dazhi, because Dazhi has both inside and outside shots, which also enriches the tactical level. O'Neal, on the other hand, is more of Dazhi's second pass straight inside, or Wade's hand-to-hand pass that breaks through.

The Bobcats' tactical system is varied and arguably the most complex in the league, just because their coach is Hu Qingniu, and he has more tactics in his belly than the rest of the league combined.

Hu Qingniu has actually always believed that the best way to beat Yao Ming is to directly win O'Neal, let Dazhi top the center, open up space on the small lineup, and speed up the pace to drag Yao Ming down. But doing so would displease O'Neill, which is a clear distrust of him.

Therefore, in the first few games of the series, the scene still has to go away. Let O'Neill try Yao Ming's Jin Liang first.

Although O'Neill was put on the court, Hu Qingniu still handed over the offensive focus to Dazhi.

Unlike Duncan, Duncan's attack range can only go one step within the three-point line, while Dazhi can directly pull to any place in the half court to attack.

Battier may be able to stop Dazhi from cutting, but if he wants to stop Dazhi from shooting, it will never be possible.

After the Bobcats came on the court, they were worthy of being a well-trained and strong team, and the tactical focus was played at once. Dazhi used blocking and dismantling, interspersed with running, and got several shots, and the shooting rate was also very high, in front of Battier, who was ten centimeters shorter, Dazhi was like a half-court shooting training.

"It's a pity!" Seeing that the score was chased back by Dazhi's shot little by little, Van Gundy Jr. touched his bald head in disappointment on the sidelines. He thought that he could rely on the momentum of the opening to open up the score difference in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that Hu Qingniu on the opposite side had the courage to call a timeout in the opening two minutes, and more importantly, this timeout was very effective. Now it's time for him to have a headache with Dazhi's defensive problems.

Although Dazhi is only a player on the edge of the All-Star, his technical characteristics are special, and it is really difficult to find a suitable candidate in the league. Full play, that is, Garnett, Duncan, Nowitzki, Webb, the four big forward players can be in position, the speed is not lost, and the height is enough.

What about the Rockets, is it still Juwan Howard, Van Gundy Jr. quickly dispelled this idea, Howard is already old, and he will be blown up if he goes up.

It seems that this game is destined to be a drama of the Chinese derby, Dazhi has repeatedly hit shots on one side, and O'Neill on the other side can't prevent Da Yao. Although he came and went, Yao Mingdu only made a low-post back-to-back jumper, but O'Neal just couldn't do anything about him.

At the end of the half, Dazhi had 20 points, Yao Ming scored 22 points, and O'Neal only scored 5 points, and it was the second offense that he grabbed the rebound in the front court. The Bobcats still relied on a strong lineup advantage to steadily suppress the Rockets' score.

There is not enough ball possession to pick up with Yao, O'Neal is obviously very dissatisfied, and the current data comparison is like he has not been beaten up and has not fought back. But Hu Qingniu ignored it, O'Neill didn't have an absolute advantage, let him go head-to-head, and the game was out of control.

In the third quarter, O'Neal began to become impetuous, and he couldn't defend well, and the basketball would no longer pass out when it came to him. O'Neill successfully beat Yao Ming several times in a row, and his thick arms were raised high, looking triumphant.

But looking at the score, in the five minutes that O'Neal did not cooperate well, the score of the Bobcats has been overtaken by 5 points. Although the goal was scored, O'Neal's actions also destroyed the integrity of the team, and now this Bobcats team has a lot of quality players, and the efficiency of playing alone is always the worst.

Hu Qingniu hurriedly called a timeout, if this game continues like this, it should completely become a heads-up game between O'Neill and Yao Ming, and the Bobcats are likely to lose!

Hu Qingniu was furious.

"Shaq, why are you ruining the team's game plan, we are a strong team and you should trust your team-mates. Pass that damn ball to your teammates in the open seats, you know?! ”

O'Neal is naturally too temperamental, for so many years of NBA career, he only eats the coach's coaxing, no coach has ever been able to talk to him like this, and neither can a Zen master!

"You tell me clearly, I am no worse than Yao, I will defeat him with dignity! This is the NBA, and we're going to play like a man! Yao has bullied me, is all I have to do is rebound, defend, and continue to watch him score?! I'm not a soft ass at your mercy! ”

Such a hot situation certainly attracts all the shots. Handsome will not get along? All the media editors secretly rejoiced that today's headlines have fallen.

O'Neal thought that Hu Qingniu would take a step back, and the current NBA is a stage for superstars in the final analysis, and the value of a superstar is much higher than the value of a coach. Just when he rightly wanted to get back on the court, Hu Qingniu's actions made him can't believe his eyes.

He raised his hand and said, "O'Neal, you get back to the locker room for me!" ”

O'Neill was still trying to argue, but the tower-like Ewing came up and pulled him down. O'Neill suddenly saw that on the coach's bench, Boss Joe, Magic, Pippen and other bigwigs were all looking at him with indifferent faces. It was only then that he suddenly realized that in this team, he was in a different situation than he was in other teams.

Without commanding, Rodman and Ewing carried O'Neill back to the locker room on one left and one right. O'Neal thought about struggling, but Rodman and Ewing had their arms cuffed like iron tongs, and they felt more powerful than they were before they retired, and they couldn't break free at all.

What have these two experienced over the years?

O'Neill was helplessly carried back to the locker room like a chicken.

Seeing this, Barkley, who was in the comment table in the distance, had to return to his seat, slowly pulled down his sleeves, and whispered in his mouth.

"It's not my share, I've seen this fat man unpleasant for a long time......"
