"Well done." When he left the game, Tang Tian reached out and patted Millsap's shoulder, which was an encouragement to his performance.

Coming back from the timeout, the Nets made some changes to the lineup, with Frank replacing Jefferson with Posjen Nakhba.

Nakhba is averaging 3.5 three-point attempts this season and shooting over 40 percent from the field, making him a standard shooter.

Frank put him on the court at this time, which is an afterthought.

After Nakhba came on the court, the Rockets gave up their defense, and the Nets gradually opened up the situation on the offensive end through Carter.

However, after Jefferson was gone, Maddie looked a little unstoppable.

Naheba has a three-pointer, but the defense is simply not enough to look at in front of Maddy.

As the game dragged on, it turned into a battle between Maddie and Carter, two cousins.

The game played more than seven minutes, with Carter scoring eight points and Maddy scoring 12 points, and the Rockets also maintained a 28-20 lead.

The two sides began to substitute one after another.

On the Nets' side, Eddie House, Antoine White, Mickey Moore, and Clifford Robinson were replaced one after another, and Jefferson, who was previously substituted off the court, also reappeared.

The Rockets also came off the bench one after another, but unlike all previous games, Novak and Spanouilles, who had barely appeared before, were also replaced!

Scott unexpectedly flashed to his waist, and only recovered after a moment.

After seeing the Rockets make two changes at once, he finally felt that he could vent his bad anger.

"Maddy was in great shape tonight and he gave the Rockets the lead, but unfortunately, the Rockets' interim head coach seemed to be a little too light-hearted, and that advantage was quickly squandered." This time, Scott turned his gun and directly began to talk about Tang Tian.

"Yes, with two marginal substitutes at once, Coach Tang Tian may not have figured out the real reason why the Rockets are leading." Keith on the side chimed in.

"Defend! Defend! ”

Listening to the voices of the two commentators, the audience also realized that the opportunity for the home team to chase the score had come, and began to shout and cheer for the home team.

The Rockets' offense, Spanoulis receives the ball in the backcourt.

House went straight up to the press, and he knew it was his chance to perform against a player like this who rarely got a chance to play.

However, he clearly underestimated Spanolys's ability.

While he didn't get a chance to play in the first few games, Spanoulis is known as the "European Kobe" for a reason, at least when it comes to ball possession, he doesn't lose to NBA-caliber guards.

House's pressing didn't work, and Spanoulis got the ball up front.

Up front, the defender from Greece reached out and made tactical gestures.

Uncle Huo and Mutombo mentioned blocking on both sides of the free throw line, while Novak and Battier quickly ran around the pick-and-roll to the three-point line.

The substitute does not have an excellent response point like Yao Ming, nor does it have a strong firepower like Maddie, so he can only rely more on blocking and running.

This is also the reason why Tang Tian used Spanollis instead of Hyde, or Barria.

To put it bluntly, this lineup is a match, a tactic, and there must be a defender who can control the ball and pass the ball.

Battier was a three-point powerhouse for the Rockets and quickly attracted the Nets' defense, but Novak, a fringe man, didn't get that much attention.

Spanoulis threw the ball straight at Novak.

Novak ran to the three-point line, and when the ball arrived, he took the ball and shot directly.

His shooting speed is not fast, but his shooting posture is textbook-like, and the arc of the basketball is also quite beautiful, and many viewers are amazed.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound of entering the net, Novak's first three-point shot after his debut hit it steadily!

"Smack!"

Scott was still holding his waist with his hand, and he felt like he was being slapped in the face.

Keith on the side also felt a hot look on his face, and hurriedly looked around at him.

Frank walked to the sideline and shouted for his players to pay attention.

Before the NBA game, the head coaches of each team will study the opponent and arrange the tactics accordingly, but most of them focus on the opponent's main force and rotation lineup, and few people will study the players at the end of the bench such as Novak and Spanoolris.

On the Nets' offense, Jefferson and Robinson played pick-and-roll, misplaced against Novak, and scored directly on the layup.

Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, frowned at this time, Novak's defense ...... It sucks.

He turned his head to look at Tang Tian, only to find that his eyes were looking at the Nets' half, and he didn't seem to be looking at the Rockets' defense at all.

The Rockets' offense, the same offensive tactics, this time the Nets switched defenses quickly, and Novak and Battier didn't have good shots.

Spanoulis and Uncle Huo played a block and shot straight to the basket, and Moore on the Nets' interior came out to help defend.

Spanoulis goes straight to a European step layup.

Moore pounced fiercely, and the two men fought physically in the air.

Spanoulis was knocked out of the way and lay on the ground for a long time.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blew for Moore's blocking foul.

The Rockets' Mutombo directly topped Moore, and Second Uncle Huo went over to check on Spanoulris's situation.

The referee separated Moore and Mutombo, and Spanoulis also stood up with the support of Second Uncle Huo, and he coughed after getting up, obviously the collision just now was not light.

Seeing this, Tang Tian also got up from the bench and prepared to replace Spanollis with Hyde.

"Coach, I can, I'm fine!" Seeing Tang Tian's actions, Span Nuoris hurriedly held his breath and spoke.

Tang Tian nodded, and then motioned for Hyde to sit back.

Spanouris took two deep breaths before stepping onto the free throw line.

He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the basket, and took the first free throw.

"Huh!"

The first penalty was a solid hit.

He took a deep breath and coughed uncontrollably, his hands clenched into fists.

After the referee was sure he could, he gave him the ball.

He took a deep breath and threw his second free throw.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little shorter and hit the front edge, but it still climbed in.

Spanoulis clenched his fists in his chest and roared excitedly.

The fans on the sidelines were puzzled, and Scott and Keith were also teased, scoring two free throws, which felt like they had completed the stunner.

However, Spanolith's face was still very excited, he proved himself in Europe, but he has been cold on the bench in the NBA, Van Gundy didn't believe him, but Tang Tian gave him a chance.

No matter what, he had to be worthy of this trust, even if his chest was still aching.
