Chapter 237: A Blessing in Disguise (2/5!) )

The ball was thrown out and came to Anthony.

Anthony holds the ball straight to the basket.

Jordan Jr. made up for it again, and Anthony directly chose to turn and lean back.

As soon as I leaned out, I felt a dark shadow in front of me.

It's that little Jordan guy again!

"Huh!"

Anthony's fallback hits.

His personal ability is still strong.

But after landing on the ground, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

The little Jordan on the other side is simply a spring man!

The Rockets' offense, Scola continues to play in the high post.

Jordan Jr.'s strength on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends made Nene dare not go out at will, and Scola seized the opportunity and assisted Maddy to hit a straight dry jump shot in the high post.

The Nuggets advanced to the frontcourt, and Carter played directly with Nene this time.

Nene catches the ball and hits the board under the basket.

Little Jordan jumped again.

The front was taken once, and the heart was a little empty, and the ball shook out of the basket.

After Jordan Jr. landed, he jumped twice and scored a defensive rebound.

The Rockets pushed back and Sun Yue assisted Scola in a fast break, and Scola received the ball and squeezed away Kreiza to score a layup.

At this time, a long whistle was also heard from the sidelines.

The first quarter of the game is over.

There was a rush of excitement on the Rockets' bench, and the players all jumped up from the bench and yelled at their teammates who came off the court.

Gasol Jr.'s departure did not make the Rockets' bench lose the advantage, and in the past two minutes, the Rockets beat the Nuggets 6-2!

Nuggets fans are quite speechless, this rookie can play so fiercely, this really doesn't have such a play!

Jordan Jr.'s performance at the end of the first quarter was eye-catching, and after the opening of the second quarter, Tang Tian also continued to keep him on the court.

The Nuggets made substitutions, with Nene and Anthony coming off the floor, and Birdman Anderson and Baron Davis the Beard on the court.

Coming up to the Nuggets' offense, Davis is on the outside with the ball.

Unlike Anthony before, Davis is a playmaker, and the team's offensive focus has begun to shift from the inside to the outside.

Calling Anderson a pick-and-roll, Davis showed his excellent physical ability and went straight to the basket to score a layup before Jordan Jr. blocked.

Jordan Jr. slapped the rebound and covered the air.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Jordan Jr. played brilliantly at the end of the first quarter, and even the momentum was overwhelmed by the Rockets, but he was still a rookie after all, and he still didn't have enough to look at old fritters like Baron Davis.

The Rockets attacked, and Scola continued to organize in the high post, and at this time it was Anderson who defended him, with long hands and feet, constantly waving and interfering with his passing vision.

The Nuggets were very defended at other points, and the Rockets didn't get too good offensive opportunities.

Scola glanced at the attacking time and directly chose to turn and play back.

Anderson is just as good as Jordan Jr. with good jumping, but his individual defense is still a little worse, and Scola's angry footwork makes him take care of one or the other.

Scola eventually shook off Anderson and scored on a sideways board.

After becoming the offensive axis, he can attack and pass like Gasol Jr., and his performance is even better than expected.

The Nuggets attacked, Davis repeated his old tricks, and played blocking and dismantling with Anderson, and accelerated to the basket again after dismantling the ball.

But this time, as soon as he was about to make a move, he saw Little Jordan flying to block, and the speed was obviously faster than before!

He was taken aback, but the guard player was far better coordinated than the inside, and with a big pull rod in the air, he switched the ball directly to his left hand for a rebound.

But at this moment, there was another turmoil at the scene.

Because of the failure of the block, Little Jordan jumped quickly twice after landing, and actually slapped Davis's shot with his left hand!

"Bang!"

The basketball was covered directly on the rebound!

A pegboard hat!

The Rockets' bench stood up like crazy, and Dragic and their towels flew up.

This ball is really covered!

Davis was stunned, little Jordan's bullet speed is really amazing!

After Jordan Jr. blocked, he took advantage of the defensive rebound, and the Rockets pushed back again, and Scola received the ball and threw it directly to the midcourt.

Sun Yue had already rushed through the half court at this time, and after receiving the ball, he quickly rushed to the front court, and directly scored with a two-handed slam dunk.

A great block, a perfect pass, a nice dunk.

The Rockets' bench play is really no worse than before!

Gasol Jr.'s departure from the team was not a good thing, but after this game was played, the Rockets were a blessing in disguise!

Little Jordan was also shouting at this time, and he jumped up directly with Sun Yue, who came back, and hit his chest with passion.

The game continued, Jordan Jr.'s passion drove the Rockets' bench, and Scola did an excellent job of completing the previous role of Gasol Jr.'s offensive axis, and the Rockets' bench group played like a bamboo.

And the excellent performance of the substitutes also inspired the fighting spirit of the main players.

When the main force is replaced, Yao Ming, Maddie, Billups, and even Yi Jianlian have played well.

The Rockets are also pulling back the momentum little by little.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nuggets 113-106 on the road, won two straight games, and also improved their record to 43-10.

Yao Ming had 26 points, 12 boards, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Maddie had 30 points and 6 boards, and Scola had 17 points, 7 boards and 5 assists.

Compared with them, the most surprising thing is Jordan Jr.

In the first game of his career, he played 20 minutes, made 2 of 2 shots, and contributed 4 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks!

At the press conference after the game, Jordan Jr. was naturally the focus of reporters' attention.

The rookies of the Rockets in the past two years, whether it is Millsap, Gasol Jr., or Sun Yue, Barria, and Novak, have played very well, and Jordan Jr. selected this season has no playing time before, and everyone thinks that the Rockets have finally made a mistake, but they didn't expect it to be ruined as soon as they came out.

It's a nuclear weapon!

"DeAndre played really well, did the team make the decision to trade Gasol Jr. based on that?"

'I can't answer that question, I'm the manager, I'm only in charge of the team's games on the pitch.

"DeAndre is playing so well, will the team increase his playing time later?"

'It's up to our opponents and it's my responsibility to get the best out of the players.'

……

Tang Tian's answers at the press conference were relatively conservative.

Jordan Jr. played a good game, and because of the inertial thinking of the Rockets' rookies in the past, most people would think that this is another strong player like Gasol Jr.

But Tang Tian knows how much instant combat power Little Jordan has, and he still needs time to grow.

The game against the Nuggets has something to do with the opponent's playing style, Nene and "Birdman" Anderson, and even Petro, who will play later, are the kind of players who play more straight up and down, and if they are replaced by a technical interior like Aldridge, Jordan Jr. will still suffer a lot.
