Many of the fans wore Santa hats, making the game look very festive.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Hornets started one after another.

The center is defensive stalwart Tyson Chandler, who was traded from the Bulls last year.

The power forward is David West, who is known for his low back play and mid-range projection.

The small forward is Pejastojakovic, the three-point sharpshooter for the former Kings.

The shooting guard is Morris Piterson, a quality 3-and-D player who just signed this summer on a four-year, 23 million contract.

The point guard is the rising star Chris Paul.

The Rockets, on their side, started with full squad.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played very anxiously.

The Hornets have a balanced offense and defense inside and outside this season, and it is definitely hard power to rank second in the West, plus they have just beaten the Rockets before, and they are full of morale and momentum in the cheers of the fans.

The two teams played for more than half a quarter and were tied at 26.

The wonderful offense and defense also made the fans on the scene addicted, worthy of the name of the Christmas war.

When the game entered the first quarter with more than 3 minutes left, the two sides successively replaced the benches.

The Rockets' lineup is Marc Gasol, Scola, Novak, Petrus and Sun Yue.

On the Hornets side, Hilton Armstrong, Bunch Wells, Morris Pitesson, Rasol Butler and Jenny Pago.

Sun Yue held the ball and pushed forward.

Up front, Gasol was in the low post.

Hornets coach Byron Scott shouted from the sidelines, and the Hornets defense quickly contracted.

As the season progresses, other teams have figured out the tactics of this new Rockets.

The Rockets' bench lineup, Gasol and Scola are the main scoring points, shrinking the basket, and then sending attention to Novak and Petrus's three-pointers, can basically limit the Rockets' scoring.

Gasol received the ball and was quickly caught in the bag.

He didn't have a good ability to respond at this time, and after turning around with the bag, he hit the board and went out of the basket, and the rebound was accepted by Wells.

The Hornets played to the frontcourt, and Wells also played with the ball in the low post.

He didn't get much of an appearance with the Rockets last season, which led to him signing a one-year contract with the Hornets this season, and he's now a hit with the Rockets.

Scola's defense didn't stand up, and Wells made a layup after turning.

There was a burst of cheers from the fans.

Wells also proudly stretched out his hand to the audience, and when he was done, he turned his head to look at the Rockets bench and glanced at Tang Tian.

He seems to want to use the score to prove how wrong Tang Tian's decision was not to use him last season.

The Rockets' offense, Gasol met again in the low post, and the Hornets' defense was still tight.

Sun Yue was in a semi-empty state on the outside line at this time.

After the wave of games before Christmas, Sun Yue's shooting ability was "impressive".

The head coaches of each team will study the opponent before the game, and it would be a complete waste to send someone to keep an eye on Sun Yue at this time.

Sun Yue glanced at the position of the defender, glanced at the basket, and then chose to shoot directly from the three-pointer.

"Rebound! Backboard! Seeing Sun Yue's choice, Scott shouted from the sidelines.

Armstrong jammed Gasol under the basket, and Wells rushed to the basket first, and he was aiming for the rebound.

"Huh!"

There was a crunch.

Wells jumped to his feet, only to see the basketball fall straight from the center of the basket.

This goal, it actually went in!

There was a cheer from the audience.

Scott, who was on the sidelines, was also stunned.

Seeing the goal, Sun Yue waved his fist excitedly.

Since Christmas, he has clearly felt that his shooting sensation has improved, and this actual shooting has convinced him of this.

Sure enough, the persistence of training pays off!

The Hornets' offense, Wells asks for the ball again in the low post.

Scola still didn't resist, and Wells arched his big ass to the inside line and turned around to shoot the board.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning slammed into the inner line.

"Bang!"

As soon as Wells got the ball out of his hand, he was slapped to the rebound.

A pegboard hat!

The fans at the scene were stunned instantly.

Sun Yue!

After shooting the three-pointer, Sun Yue's whole person became extremely excited, and when he saw Wells burying his head in the slash, he directly let Pargo rush in to make up for the defense.

His speed and bounce, as well as his physical talent, were on full display in this round.

However, Wells stood closer to the basket, and at this time he quickly grabbed the rebound, and then took the shot.

"Smack!"

As soon as the ball was shot, it was slapped off the field again.

It's still Sun Yue!

Wells plays as a power forward, but his height is only 1.96 meters, while Sun Yue has 2.05 meters!

In addition, this ball was a second attack, and the shot was a little hasty, but Sun Yue covered the ball again.

Wells was blocked twice in a row, and both were blocked by a point guard on the opposing side, and the scene was in an uproar.

The Rockets' bench was boiling over at this time.

Sun Yue staged a personal hot pot show!

The Hornets sent a sideline ball with little offensive time left, and Peterson, who received the ball, grabbed a three-pointer from the outside, and the rebound was won by Scola.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The morale of the home team was greatly damaged by the cover twice in a row, and at this time, the audience cheered for the home team under the leadership of the DJ on the spot.

The Rockets' offense, Sun Yue gave the ball to Petrus, Petrus and Gasol played blocking and dismantling, and Gasol was divided after the ball was dismantled.

Gasol shoots from mid-range.

"Bang!"

The shot was a little shorter, but Scola got stuck under the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Although Scola is a rookie, he has been in the professional arena for many years, and his vision on the court is much better than that of Gasol now.

In the NBA, if you shoot, your teammates will pass you the ball.

Sun Yue received the ball, and with the last hit, he was full of confidence at this time, and shot directly and quickly after aiming at the basket.

The basketball streaks a high parabola through the air.

"Huh!"

Sun Yue's second empty three-pointer was returned!

The shouting at the scene came to an abrupt end.

Scott on the sidelines was even more dumbfounded.

The goal in front of him, he was blinded by Sun Yue, but this two shots in a row? Is this still the Sun Yue who can't shoot as the coaching staff came up with before the game?

After Sun Yue threw in, he also unconsciously stretched out his hand and blew his palm with his mouth.

It turns out that it feels so good to shoot a goal.

Scott called a timeout.

The situation on the pitch was very different from what was set up before the game, and he had to call a timeout.

On the Rockets' side, the players on the bench took the initiative to high-five Sun Yue on the sidelines.

In these two rounds, Sun Yue played too well.
