Chapter 219: Good Things Come in Pairs (4/5!) Plus 7/25! )

Gasol gave the ball to Odom, who was the swinging power forward and pulled to the outside to shoot threes.

Landry wasn't slow either, and after pounced, he managed to interfere with Odom's shot.

"Bang!"

Odom missed a three-pointer, and Maddy grabbed a defensive long rebound and threw his hand to Billups from the outside.

Billups plays a fast break with the ball, and Landry can rush forward with his head down.

When he got to the frontcourt, Billups glanced behind him, a layup feint, and then put the ball in one hand, and hit the ball directly behind the ground to follow up Landry.

Landry takes the ball and leaps to the ground.

"Bang!"

It's a powerful two-handed slam dunk!

The cheers burst into applause.

Landry's starting effect is not only full of presence, but also first-class ability to grab points.

It's amazing!

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the Lakers bench at this time.

There is a saying that if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like opponent.

But sometimes I have to admit that an opponent like a pig is also a happy thing.

If it weren't for Bynum's early draw, Landry would definitely not have played as smoothly as he did now.

And if Landry doesn't play well in the first game, his plan A, which he was forced to advance, may be in vain.

But fortunately, Bynum's brain was drawn in time.

Now Landry's starting tour is like a fish in water.

The two sides played more than half a quarter, and the Rockets firmly controlled the situation on the court 25-17.

The two sides have been replaced one after another.

Odom is called the most extravagant bench in history by fans, and it is also a strong point when the Lakers are fully playing.

But it snowballed by Bynum's brain, and Odom was substituted for the break, and at this time, Famar, Wharton, Radmanovic, and Powell were all substitutes.

On the Rockets' side, there are also four substitutes in earnest, Gasol Jr., Scola, Petrus, and Sun Yue.

However, in comparison, anyone can see the difference in strength between the two teams.

As soon as the Rockets attacked, Gasol Jr. responded at the free-throw line, and Scola blocked Maddie and then went to the high post.

Maddie cut in the air to attract the bag, and Gasol Jr. flicked the ball to the high post Scola, who received the ball and shot.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Scola's high jumper hit steadily.

The Lakers attacked, Famar blocked and broke through the basket, and Gasol Jr. made a pillar and successfully interfered with his shot.

The basketball collapsed into the frame, and Gasol Jr. turned around to collect the defensive rebound.

The Rockets' offense, Gasol Jr. continued to respond at the free-throw line, and saw Scola cut and flick the ball out.

Radmanovic was quick to add to the defense, but Scola made a covert shot to Maddy, who rushed in on the weak side.

Maddie catches the ball and goes straight to a one-handed violent frame.

"Bang!"

The cheers of the entire Toyota Center exploded.

Scola returned to the bench and no longer had to worry about being blown up by the opponent's main force, and in the bench lineup, he was the main scorer, without the slightest feeling of weakening his role.

Of course, the most important point is that Scola returned to the bench, coupled with Gasol Jr.'s ability to respond, equals two playmaking points in the bench!

This substitute is not only full of firepower! Wholeness is also rising!

start, Bynum brain pumped, Kobe Bryant didn't feel good.

Substitute, Odom mentioned that there was not enough firepower after starting.

The game went on and on.

The Lakers didn't beat Landry like the previous teams did with Scola, and as a result, they still didn't have much to do with the Rockets.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 114-101, ending a three-game losing streak.

Yao Ming continued to play strongly, scoring 29 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Maddy also scored 24 points and 7 boards, and Billups had 12 points and 8 assists.

Landry, who started for the first time, played eye-catchingly, shooting 6-of-9 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range, scoring 15 points and 5 rebounds.

On the bench, Scola also scored the most 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on the bench.

A substitution adjustment not only has zero damage to the team, but activates everyone.

With the Lakers, the Rockets have picked out their playoff competitors in the past week, and then ushered in a relatively easy schedule.

Against the Clippers on Nov. 19, the Rockets won 108-83, and Landry continued to play well, scoring a season-high 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, plus six rebounds and two blocks.

Against the Kings on Nov. 21, the Rockets beat the opponent 110-90, and Landry scored 15 points and eight rebounds.

There was also a moving scene in the game, Landry was knocked out of his front teeth by Artest, but he still picked up the rebound and continued to score.

While excites the fans, it also convinces them that Landry's performance is definitely not a flash in the pan.

On November 23, the Rockets and the Jazz fought three and a half quarters in Salt Lake City and finally won 98-91, Landry scored 15 points and 11 rebounds, won the first double-double of his career, and became more and more courageous.

On Nov. 25, they flew to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers, who had just won five in a row after adding Mo Williams to the new season.

James has an assistant and finally has the capital to compete with the Rockets.

However, after the fierce battle in the fourth quarter, the Rockets were still stronger, defeating the opponent 115-104, ending the opponent's five-game winning streak, and celebrating their own five-game winning streak.

Landry continued to be brave, shooting 7-of-7 from the field and shooting 100% to grab 15 points and 6 rebounds.

During the five-game winning streak, Landry averaged 15.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, playing quite well.

In his previous life, Landry was called "Divine Bird" by fans, but at that time, Divine Bird only got a lot of opportunities to play after Yao Ming was injured.

Now Yao Ming is still there, his performance is still brave, this is really "the bird spreads its wings"!

It is also with his excellent play that the Rockets are gradually on track after a wave of three consecutive losses, and the team is only second to the Lakers with 10 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the West.

Good things come in pairs, Landry played well with the Rockets, and Yi Jianlian became more and more brave in the development league's Vipers.

The number of games in the Development League is much tighter than the NBA regular season, Yi Jianlian played a total of 7 games, averaging 26.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 53% from two-point range and 40% from three-point range.

Whether it is personal strength or talent, Yi Jianlian has shown a crushing trend against Sun Yue at the beginning.

The Rockets coaching staff was overjoyed, and Tang Tian was also a little expectant.

The team had a two-day break after the game against the Bucks, and he also took the opportunity to visit the Development League.

The Vipers are in Hidalgo County, more than 500 kilometers from Houston, and the plane has been more than an hour away.

Thibodeau was leading the team to train, and Tang Tian was taking Cole with him.

It was also the first time the two had traveled.

Tang Tian brought some sports newspapers to read on the road, and Cole brought a Sony MP3.
