After the opening temptation, the next wave of offense, the rocket directly gave the ball to Yao Ming.

"It's time to devise some singles tactics for Yao."

This is a change in the Rockets' game, with Yao Ming's strength training achieving certain results, and the effect of the rapid growth card, Yao Ming's total rating has now reached 82 points, and he is already an ordinary All-Star level player.

Coupled with a certain amount of singles tactics, Qiao Hai believes that with Yao Ming's shooting ability, he will create a greater threat.

Therefore, in this game, Yao Ming, who was deep in the middle distance, received the ball and singled Scott Williams with his back, this ball, half singles and half strategy, the Suns' defense was still a little anxious.

No one stepped forward to pinch Yao Ming, so, in the face of Scott Williams' singles, Yao Ming directly turned around and made a jump shot!

Bang!

Ball in!

Yao Ming scored, and it was a singles! The Compaq Center cheered wildly, and McBrin and Mavuff Albert in the commentary box were also a little surprised.

"Yao's mid-distance singles, turned around and jumped, and went straight in!"

McBlin was still a little incredulous: "After Steve Francis burst a goal in the opening and assisted Ron Artest to score, the next wave of attacks, they immediately gave the ball to Yao Ming singles?" ”

"This should be a change made by the Rockets, and Joe is finally going to give Yao some singles opportunities." Marvie Albert immediately came with a wave of analysis. "This goal is a singles in a mid-range position, within his own range, using his height advantage, almost a turn, Yao Ming scored a goal."

Yao Ming scored singlely, and the Suns' offense was still Stephen Marbury holding the ball.

But the Rockets' defense was aimed at Stephen Marbury, so Marbury played a little hard, he burst into the interior and was immediately pinched.

In the pinch, Stephen Marbury passed a lob ball directly, and on the other side, Amarestada Mayer jumped high, and the Compaq Center resounded with an exclamation.

Bang!

Everyone thought that Xiao Si was deducted!

However, Yao Ming suddenly appeared under the basket and blocked it, Xiao Si's dunk was a little shorter, and the ball was directly buckled on the neck of the basket.

With a clang, the basketball bounced straight out.

Yao Ming took the rebound with one hand.

In this way, at the beginning, Yao Ming scored two points in a single, and Xiao Si's dunk was met by Yao Ming's supplementary defense, and finally hit the iron, and the first round of the battle was obviously a small victory for Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, the Rockets directly played a wave of counterattacks.

The Suns' retreat was already fast, but Ron Artest received the ball, took advantage of the Suns' unstable defensive foothold, rushed directly into the interior, and scored another 2 points on a layup.

"Ron Artest scored again, he's got four points on 2-of-2 shooting, and he looks like he's in great shape."

On the court, the Suns' offense, Stephen Marbury stuck the ball, didn't find a chance, and finally gave it out, when Joe Johnson received the ball, there were four seconds left in the offensive time, he controlled it, and then made a feint, unable to shake off Ron Artest.

The ensuing whistle shot hit the iron with a bang.

The Suns continued to hit iron, the Rockets seized the opportunity, and played another wave of counterattacks, in which Steve Francis broke through the interior line, attracted the defense and gave the ball to Posey, who threw and scored two points.

At 8:2, the Rocket's offense was hilarious in the opening game.

There are still big problems with Frank Johnson's coaching on the Suns' side, as a young coach with little seniority in his playing days, Frank Johnson can't hold down Stephen Marbury.

As a result, the Suns' offense always stalled at Marbury's hands.

The Suns' lineup is good, with dual control on the outside, although Anfernee Hardaway has seriously declined due to several major injuries, but the experience is still there, and Joe Johnson in the small forward position has also played well this season, and the upward momentum is obvious.

Amarestadamayer on the inside played even better, and if he hadn't been able to get the ball, Xiaosi's statistics would have exploded.

Such a lineup is very similar to the Rockets, with a point guard core on the outside, plus a distinctive wing player (the Rockets are Artay who can defend and break through, and the Suns are Joe Johnson who can shoot), and the interior is a rookie who performs well.

But obviously, Stephen Marbury should be half a notch above Steve Francis, the Suns' record has slipped and Stephen Marbury has a big problem.

However, it must be mentioned that Steve Francis actually has a problem with sticking the ball, but Joe Hay pulled Steve Francis and let him temporarily develop a good habit of passing, and the Rockets' offense became smooth.

Of course, in addition to the offensive problem, this Suns' defensive problem is not small.

The defensive foundation left by the predecessor Scott Skels has been completely lost by Frank Johnson, and because of the player configuration, this Suns' defense is already the bottom of the league.

In the opening game, the Rockets broke out offensively, the defense suppressed the opponent, so they took the lead, and Frank Johnson did not adjust, and the game continued like this.

On the Suns' side, Stephen Marbury broke through the inside line again, and came again according to the first-shot play, this time, Smalls seized the opportunity, dunked, and finally scored 2 points.

But then, on the Rocket's offense, Yao Ming took the ball from mid-range again, and after the feint attracted the defense, he gave the ball to Steve Francis, who quickly cut inside, and Francis rushed into the restricted area, received the ball and hit a layup, scoring two points.

Then, the Suns' offense, Stephen Marbury finally didn't take the ball, Joe Johnson took the ball in the high post and singled once, but was blocked by Ron Artest's single defense in all directions, and the final forced shot naturally didn't go in.

The Suns hit the iron again, and the Rockets took the opportunity to widen the difference.

Yao Ming took the ball in the middle distance and hit a direct jumper to score two points.

At 12:4, listening to the deafening cheers in his ears, Frank Johnson finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he stood up and called a timeout directly.

Qiao Hai was very relaxed, seeing that the sun was suspended, he didn't make too many moves, and waited until the players on the court left the court before calling all the players.

There is no special adjustment, he just asked Yao Ming to go more to the outside, and now, Yao Ming, who has singles tactics, is becoming more and more threatening, but his threat is still concentrated on the outside, so in order to enhance the threat, Yao Ming still has to appear more on the outside.

Another advantage of this is that Yao Ming goes out, and the opponent's inner line must also be separated to defend it, which creates a problem.

For the Suns, their defensive system is already very fragile, and suddenly encountering Yao Ming, a strange interior who is always active in the middle range or even high posts and outside the three-point line, their defensive system is even worse.
