Thibodeau couldn't help but reach out to his forehead.

Yao Ming played for the Rockets for 8 years, he was Yao Ming's assistant coach for 3 years and head coach for one year, of course, he knows the strength of the league's No. 1 center.

And now, Yao Ming is not the only one he has to deal with on the defensive end.

He reached out and gestured to Billups, which was about to adjust the tactics on the field.

Billups nodded, dribbled past half court, motioned for his teammates to pull away, and then gave the ball to Yi Jianlian in the low post.

Maddie is not in good shape, and the Rockets have an advantage in the rest of the position, and there is only the No. 4 position left.

Yi Jianlian directly chiseled Anderson after receiving the ball.

Although the basketball IQ dropped to the original level after leaving Tang Tian, when the main force was trained, Yi Jianlian's confrontation and technology itself improved a lot.

Anderson didn't resist, and Yi Jianlian chiseled to a distance of two meters from the basket and turned back.

It's not the smartest option, but he feels good.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net.

The Rockets finally broke the scoring drought.

Tang Tian was thoughtful at this time, Anderson's defense was indeed a hidden danger.

It's not a matter of attitude, it's a matter of ability.

After exchanging the iron knee for Paul before, there are still the last 2 honor points left, and if it really doesn't work, it can only be exchanged.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and this time he played directly with Yao Ming, and after the disassembly, he went straight to the basket.

The Rockets didn't shrink this time, and put Jordan Jr. to defend Paul alone.

Paul directly accelerated, and before Jordan Jr. could turn around and jump, he watched Paul score a layup.

So fast!

Thibodeau's eyes widened again.

Because it was a fast break in front, the Cavaliers had tactical support, and Paul seemed to be fast, but it didn't have that much visual impact.

But just now, little Jordan really only had time to turn around.

This speed is completely similar to last season!

Wrong! That's the speed Paul had before the injury!

Paul fully recovered from his injury?

When he realized this, Thibodeau's face suddenly became even more ugly.

He turned his head to look at the Cavaliers half.

What did Tang Tian do this summer to get such a terrifying three people into a team.

Just as he was thinking, Yi Jianlian's jumper over there was not scored by the interference of James' defense, the Cavaliers played a counterattack, and James assisted Anderson to make another three-point shot.

12 to 2.

The Cavaliers opened with all 5 shots.

The Rockets were 1 of 6 ......

How to play!

He reached out and called a timeout.

Team Rocket was stopped, and the cheers from the scene had exploded.

It's so casual!

But it's so easy to get ahead!

On the other side, it was the team that fought with them in the finals last season to tie seven!

Although there is one less Yao Ming, why is it so vulnerable?!

It's so strong!

Coming back from a timeout, Maddie finally hit a shot.

Back to the defensive end, James and Yao Ming blocked and dismantled, and the Rockets directly adjusted their defensive strategy, and when they were dismantled, Jordan Jr. and Battier directly forced James who held the ball for the first time.

This is known as the "STACK" tactic.

This is also a defensive tactic that Thibodeau personally admires, the core strategy is to press the ball, taking the ball as an example, James with the ball was caught by a double, and at the same time, Maddy and Billups cut off James' passing route, leaving Battier alone to defend the weak side.

When Tang Tian was still in the Rockets, Thibodeau also proposed this tactic, but because this tactic had high requirements for the center's defense, he had to be able to expand it and finally give up.

Now that Yao Ming is away from the Rockets, he can finally put this set of tactics on the table.

"Tom, you're still almost." Seeing Team Rocket's defense, Tang Tian couldn't help but mutter.

This tactic, he didn't let Xibodu use it at the beginning, in addition to Yao Ming's relationship, there are too many drawbacks, not to mention how terrible it is to the player's physical exertion, just say that this kind of pressure ball, if the opponent's ball holder's vision is good enough, it is simply to give away points.

James was caught in the bag, shrunk two steps, and then reacted quickly and threw the ball straight to the basket.

After Yao Ming dismantled, he had already gone straight to the basket, reached out to receive James' pass, and scored directly with a close-range small hook before Yi Jianlian assisted in defense.

James' passing vision, coupled with Yao Ming's finishing ability, made it extremely easy for this defense to break.

Battier didn't score three points, the Cavaliers pushed to the frontcourt, Paul and Yao Ming's blocking, in the face of this defensive tactic, Paul's reaction was faster, and it was a hit to the ground between the formation of the bag.

Yao Ming received the ball and scored a one-handed dunk directly.

In two rounds, Thibodeau's tactic was broken to the extreme.

The cheers at the scene have been overwhelming.

There was a gap in the strength of the two teams last year, and Thibodeau, the former assistant coach, was beaten by Tang Tian without any temper.

After Yao Ming's smash, the Cavaliers had a 16-4 lead over the Rockets.

It's only been less than half a quarter!

The difference in strength is too obvious!

With more than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 30-12, and the Rockets had collapsed most of the time.

The two sides went into the rotation, with Don keeping James on the court and replacing Beverley, Lance Stephenson, Frye and Kwame Brown.

On the Rockets' side, Maddy led the team, Sun Yue, Salmons, Scola and Jordan Jr.

Sun Yue's breakthrough layup was directly blocked by Brown, Lance grabbed the ball in the end, and then threw it to James, who quickly attacked the frontcourt and dunked against Salmons' violent bulldozer.

The "Little Emperor" is at his peak, and he is completely tireless in playing a fast section.

The Rockets attacked, and Maddy made a layup that caused Lance's beater to foul, and he made both free throws to increase the Rockets' points.

Turning around, James and Frye played a pick-and-roll, dismantling and pressing the Rockets' defense to return the ball to Frye, who received the ball from outside the three-point line and shot directly in the open space.

"Huh!"

Frye's three-pointers, while not as quick as Anderson's, were just as solid.

At this time, in the league, there are not too many big men who can shoot three points, and those who can shoot accurately are all swept up by Tang Tian to the Cavaliers.

James led the team to play the remaining two minutes of the first quarter, and when the second quarter began, Tang Tian replaced James with Paul to lead the team.

His rotation off the bench was a bit like Harden Paul's Rockets team, always keeping a point of possession on the court.

Now this Cavaliers team can use it like that, and other teams, it is already a luxury to have this kind of ball.

The starters were crushed, the bench continued to press, and the Rockets were beaten without temper.

At halftime, 69-39, the Cavaliers had a direct 30-point lead.

Not long after the start of the third quarter, the game went straight into garbage time.

Fans watched Jeremy Lin and Whiteside break and air catches in garbage time, and the atmosphere was quite hilarious.

And Thibodeau and the Rockets are very depressed.

I really can't play this kind of scene......
