Yao Ming scored in a row in the high post, and the Nuggets' defense immediately changed, and they began to pinch Yao Ming, forcing Yao Ming to pass the ball through continuous double strikes.

But it's also part of the Rockets' offensive tactics.

Therefore, the game played for more than three minutes, and the Rockets opened with a wave of 12:4 for the Nuggets, directly leading by 8 points.

In the opening 12 points, Yao Ming scored 6 points alone, Gary Payton scored 4 points, and Chris Anderson received Wadegao's throw in the box and dunked the last 2 points.

At 12:4, the Nuggets had to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Nuggets brought on Daco Milicic, and it looked like Nene couldn't please Jeff Buzdrick.

Jeff Buzderrick chose to replace Milicic, ready to test the water against Yao Ming.

There are no substitutions on the Rockets' side, and the tactics have not changed, the defensive end is still Chris Anderson to protect the frame, Yao Ming is sweeping on the periphery, and on the offensive end, Yao Ming is still a threat from the high position, and other players are cutting or breaking through with the ball.

Qiao Hai's idea is to respond to all changes with the same, the rocket's offense and defense are very smooth, so naturally there is no need to make changes.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Rockets continued to use Yao Ming as the axis and continuously hit mid-range shots on the offensive end.

On the Nuggets side, Daco Milicic, who had a bad performance in the preseason, actually broke out in this game, hitting a three-pointer immediately after a timeout, and then hitting two shots in a row to score seven points in a row.

It seems that Milicic has quickly adapted to the NBA through this game.

After the first quarter, the Rockets led the Nuggets by 2 points at 22-20.

In this quarter, the Rockets are basically dual-core, Yao Ming got 9 points and 4 rebounds, and Gary Payton had 7 points and 2 assists.

Milicic's outburst on the Nuggets' side was the main reason why the Nuggets regained their disadvantage in the second half of the quarter.

In contrast, Wade's performance was much worse, shooting 0-of-2 in the first quarter, and he scored 2 points and 3 assists with the help of free throws.

It seems that Wade is more of a parallel import, while Dacomilisic is a bit of an outburst in the face.

But in the second quarter, Qiao Hai still chose to believe Wade.

In the second quarter of the game, Qiao Hai's lineup was point guard Dwyane Wade, scoring guard Jamal Crawford, small forward Kyler Korver, and interior Boris Dioga Greg Ostertag.

There are two strong points on the outside, one is Wade, the other is Jamal Crawford, and Korver is ambushed on the wing and in the bottom corner.

The Rockets' tactical play was similar to that of the first quarter, except that the axis of the first quarter was changed from Yao Ming to Boris Dio.

Dio's individual attack is not so strong, he is better than Yao Mingsheng in passing, therefore, his role is an axis, and the main points of attack are Wade and Jamal Crawford.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Wade singled with the ball, made a jumper after a quick break, and hit a shot first.

The Nuggets grabbed the rebound, threw their hands to the frontcourt, and directly began to counterattack, and the substitute Elboykins received the ball and made a jumper, which was also dead!

In the backcourt, Wade grabbed the rebound, and the Nuggets' fast break stopped halfway through.

At this time, Wade received the ball, and the lightning speed was activated, and the Nuggets hurriedly retreated, and in the retreat, the defensive formation was inevitably chaotic.

Wade broke through directly in the middle, and the Nuggets also directly shrunk the basket, just to prevent Wade's breakthrough inside.

But this time, Wade jumped up, faked a real pass, and threw his hand to the wing.

Keller Korver stepped on the three-point line, smacked, and hit a two-point shot that stepped on the line!

"The Rockets' three rookies were on the floor at the same time, and the first to score in the athletic battle was Kyler Korver, who had the lowest draft pick, which was something that no one expected."

"Dwyane Wade seems to be a little bit out of shape, he played well in pre-season, but in this game, he has made 0 of 3 shots."

The Nuggets serve in the backcourt, advance to the frontcourt, and the ball is singled to Boykins.

Elboygins is also one of Qiao Hai's disciples, and the 1.65-meter-tall point guard is currently playing the sixth man position in the Nuggets, which can be regarded as very inspirational.

Boykins' style of play is the same as the way Qiao Hai used him back then, coming off the bench to disrupt the game, but the Rockets' bench lineup is very neat, Greg Ostertag guards the restricted area, and the other players defend one-on-one.

It can be said that the defensive integrity of the Rockets' bench lineup is even better than that of the starters.

Boykins had a tough fight, and his mid-range jumper was interfered with by the defender Korver, and he hit another shot.

This time, it was still Wade who grabbed the rebound.

Wade broke fast and rushed to the front court to look for a passing opportunity, and the Nuggets were smart this time, defending Wade in 3 shots and 0 one-on-one, and not giving Wade the opportunity to split the wing.

But apparently, the Nuggets underestimated Wade's one-on-one individual ability.

After a big change of direction from the outside, Wade shook off Woshan Leonard and rushed to the basket with a lunge.

Shot under the basket, no matter how bad Wade's hand is in this game, the score is close at hand.

Facing the unguarded basket, Wade jumped up and dunked the flat frame!

With a bang, it won the applause of the whole house in the Toyota Center!

……

Wade finally scored in the athletic battle, and in this game, he didn't feel good, but after becoming the main attacker in the second quarter, his breakthrough began to play a role.

After this goal, Wade hit two more balls in a row and scored under the basket in succession.

Only then did the Nuggets discover that Wade is also a player who can't be limited to death without wrapping up......

By the second half of the second quarter, when Qiao Hai replaced Yao Ming, the Nuggets' defense completely collapsed.

At halftime, the Rockets took a six-point lead at 48:42.

……

In the second half of the game, the Rockets continued to suppress the Nuggets.

Daco Milicic exploded in the first quarter, did not play in the second quarter, and after playing again in the third quarter, the fiery state in the first quarter was completely lost, and in the face of the defense of Chris Anderson and Boris Dio, Milicic hit the iron continuously, and suddenly it was water again.

After three quarters, the Rockets led the Nuggets by 12 points, 72-60.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets intended to chase points, but the Rockets went directly to the main force and played more than 5 minutes, and the Rockets still led by as many as 13 points, and the game quickly lost suspense.

In this case, Joe Hai came off the bench and played against the Nuggets' main lineup with a bench lineup.

The game ended at the end of the game, the score was 102:85, and the Rockets had a 17-point advantage and made a good start to the new season!

As soon as the game ended, McBrin found the stats.

On the Rockets' side, the highest scorer was Yao Ming, who played 31 minutes, shooting 6 of 8, plus 12 of 13 free throws, scoring 24 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Gary Payton had 21 points, four rebounds and seven assists on 6-of-14 shooting, while Wade, who was in poor opening form, finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals on 5-of-15 shooting.
