However, such a report also shows that the media's attitude towards Tang Tian has changed again.

The Rockets got off to a good start, and the most excited were naturally the fans.

Originally, before the official start of this season, there were still fans who would worry that Tang Tian would not be able to handle the run-in problem of the Big Three, but after a big victory, on social media in the United States, fans have regarded the Rockets as the favorites to win the championship.

Compared with the American media, domestic fans think more deeply, and they even turned over the Rockets' schedule, and after listing the opponents one by one, they believe that the Rockets will start the new season with at least 15 consecutive wins, and only on November 27, after facing the Spurs, will they encounter the first challenge.

This kind of move can see the fans' expectations for this Rockets team.

But this is also expected, Yao Ming joined the Rockets for more than four years, and grew step by step into the NBA's No. 1 center, but in the first three seasons, each season was a failure, and last season finally won the championship and was formed as why "the weakest year won the championship", their anger was really held for too long.

The Rockets' performance did not disappoint the fans either.

After a big win over the Lakers in their home opener, the team embarked on an away trip, traveling to Salt Lake City on Nov. 2 to take on old rivals the Jazz.

The biggest change for the Jazz in the new season is the farewell to Fisher and the trade of three-point shooter Korver.

The trade didn't change much for the Jazz themselves, and they didn't pose much of a threat to the Rockets in the end.

Maddy ushered in a big explosion in this game, scoring 47 points on 17-of-27 shooting, setting a new career high, and the Rockets also won 110-91 to win two consecutive games of the season.

In last year's playoffs, Maddy averaged 35.6 points per game against the Jazz, and scored 47 points in the first game of the new season.

After leaving Salt Lake City, the Rockets flew to Phoenix non-stop to challenge the Suns.

The Suns struggled very much after trading for the "Big Shark" O'Neal, the bombardment was not a bombardment, the position was not like the position, it became a four, and O'Neal was one year older, and his strength was greatly reduced.

The two sides were deadlocked for half time, and as soon as the Rockets came out in the third quarter, the Phoenix people were a little unable to resist.

In the end, with Billups winning his first 20+ after joining the Rockets, the Rockets defeated their opponents 106-96 and won three in a row.

After two road games, the Rockets returned to Houston for a two-day break.

In two days, they will be at home to take on the Dallas Mavericks.

After this day's training, Tang Tian has been in the office to study the game against the Mavericks.

The Mavericks were unexpectedly blacked out last season, and this season is also holding back a lot of energy, and against them again, the game will definitely be more anxious.

He studied it late, and when he was finished, he found that it was already dark, and his stomach was a little hungry, and he forgot to eat dinner.

Walking out of the office, there were some team staff outside, and they all greeted him when they saw him.

When I came out of the office building and passed by the training hall, I heard the sound of "bang" training inside.

There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, the team continued to play away games, and the players were tired, and there were still people practicing on this big night?

He walked outside the gym door, looked through the open door, and saw the scene inside.

The team's second-round pick this year, Karl Landry, is training there alone.

The content of his training is the hook confrontation that the inside team has trained during the day today, because there is no one, he finds the basket, which also saves the trouble of picking up the ball.

From afar, I could see that his entire clothes were wet and sweaty.

It's already cold in November, and it's been a long time since I've been training.

Seeing this, Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction.

The Rockets have a lot of depth in the frontcourt this season, and Millsap occupies a lot of playing time at the power forward position, and Scola is a rookie, but at the age of 27, he is in his prime, that is, full of power, and it is difficult for Landry to get playing time.

He's come up as an assistant coach, and he's worked with people on the fringe when he played in Summer League, and he knows how hard it can be to not play.

Landry can't play and still trains so hard, and he will definitely have a place in the NBA.

Tang Tian looked at it for a while, his stomach screamed twice, he withdrew his gaze, and then left.

When I left, the sound in the training hall never stopped.

On November 6, US time, the Rockets welcomed the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks at home.

The Rockets made full preparations before the game, and at the beginning of the game, they continued to pack and clamp the Mavericks' singles too many points.

Nowitzki had not yet developed his playmaking skills, and was slow to handle the ball when he was caught in the trap, while Josh Howard and Stanhaus were inefficient at the other points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Rockets were in full swing and had already led the Mavericks by 12 points at 28-16.

Although he was ahead, Tang Tian still attached great importance to the Mavericks, and he still let Billups lead the team in the bench stage.

Unexpectedly, a wave of 10-0 attacks directly collapsed the Mavericks.

The Mavericks were unable to chase the points, and the difference was widened, and it had reached as many as 25 points at halftime.

Tang Tian has the impression that the Mavericks are not so unbearable this season, and he can only explain that the spirit of being beaten by the black eight in the playoffs last season is gone.

In the second half, the situation had not changed, and Mavericks coach "Little General" Johnson's wrestling tactics did not work.

A big win that was predictable, but just as the game entered the third quarter, an accident occurred on the court.

Josh Howard gave Millsap an elbow to the head in the middle of the attack, knocking him unconscious.

This almost sparked a clash between the two teams.

Millsap was rushed off the pitch.

After Tang Tian threw the command to Thibodeau, he also ran out of the players' tunnel.

After Thibodeau took command, he stabilized the situation on the court until the end, and the team won 121-99.

Millsap also had a false alarm, only suffered a slight concussion, and could fully recover after a week of rest.

Mavericks coach Johnson was interested in correcting Josh Howard this season, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen after only a few games.

The league then imposed a two-game ban on Howard and a $2w5 fine.

The penalty was met with protests from the Mavericks, but it didn't change the outcome.

This is a kind of practice of killing chickens and monkeys, and putting the opponent down directly is a very dangerous behavior in itself.

Millsap was out for a week because of a concussion.

Fortunately, the Rockets' opponents were not strong this week.

The Rockets' next game against the Milwaukee Bucks is the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks have a good season, but after getting Yi Jianlian in this year's draft, they have a 2-2 record so far, which is better than the start of previous years.
