Tonight's Wukesong Arena is crowded, today the Rockets will face the Orlando Magic here, although the two teams should have no home and away points for their trip to China, but when the Magic players walked into the stadium, they saw countless Chinese fans wearing Totoro jerseys and Yao Ming jerseys in the audience, they knew that they were too naïve, and this is the ultimate home of the two Chinese........

But think about it, Yao Ming alone turned the rocket into the home team of the Chinese, and now there is a chinchilla who is only stronger than Yao, and he won the championship with the rocket, and the support of the rocket team in Chinese mainland is even more explosive, and now walking in the streets of China, even people who do not watch basketball know that there are two Chinese named Yao Ming and Totoro on the other side of the ocean who are winning glory for their country, which shows the popularity of their team now.

Although the preseason is to give the team time to practice, most teams will not choose to really play, but it also depends on what team to play the preseason with, and what kind of state their team is, such as the Rockets, who have changed most of the roster in the offseason, they will be extra serious in the preseason, after all, the preseason is to test and adjust the lineup for the team, and the regular season exposure problem is always stronger than the playoffs exposure problem, so in the same way, the preseason loss is always better than the regular season loss.

In addition, the Magic team was its own opponent in the finals last year, although everyone has a lot of opinions about the dark horse of the Magic East Finals, and I think this product is giving the Rockets a championship, not that the Rockets are too strong, but if the finals are whether the Celtics or the Lakers appear, then there is basically nothing to do with the Magic.

But the Magic also strengthened this summer, on the basis of retaining the original core team, they traded a few draft picks and substitutes to the surviving demigods at the peak, although it is still unknown whether the demigods can seamlessly connect with the Magic, but from the perspective of combat effectiveness on the books, the lineup of Howard + Lewis + Turkoglou + Carter + Nelson is also luxurious enough, at least a little more powerful than the Rockets' starters.

The Rockets and Magic hugged each other after a simple warm-up, and there is no feud between the two teams strictly speaking, last year's Finals sweep is a bond for the two teams, but it will not make the Magic team hate the Rockets on the bright side, and it will not escalate to the confrontation between cities and cities, the Rockets will have to beat Orlando in the Finals for at least three consecutive years, so it is estimated that they will be a little anxious to see Houston.

In the opening jump ball, Totoro unexpectedly stood in the jump ball position instead of Yao Ming, and Howard, who was in charge of the jump ball opposite, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

People call him the biggest man in the league who is the best at fighting for the ball, but that's also under the premise that Totoro almost doesn't fight for the ball, laymen look at the lively, insiders look at the doorway, really talk about jumping ball, in the NBA there is really no one who is Totoro's opponent, Totoro defeated himself twice in the jump ball link last year, although each time in the millimeter, but Warcraft knows that just a few centimeters away, is the insurmountable gap between him and Totoro, and this year I heard that he practiced hard in Houston for a summer, In contrast, he added a few more illegitimate children to himself, and the gap between the two of them will only widen.

Sure enough, as soon as the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball, Howard was still thinking about things, My Neighbor Totoro flew up like a missile in the air, and the light ape arm dialed the ball at a distance of a palm, which was no longer a victory, but a second kill for Howard.

The applause at the scene was thunderous, Totoro just grabbed a ball, but the fans did it as if he had completed the lore, could it be that the audience who watched Totoro once decided to make up for last year's shouts and this year's regular season cheers, after all, most of them don't have so much spare time to go to the United States to watch him play in the NBA.

Queen Bee received the ball firmly, Totoro has not cooperated with the superstar of the guard group, but Totoro still gave his greatest sincerity, he is ready to see how this Chris Paul is in shape, if he can really schedule the team in an orderly manner, the offense is reasonable, he doesn't mind playing off-ball offense, unlike James who can't play off-ball, when he was not skilled in attacking with the ball at the beginning, his average of 22 points per game in the NCAA relied on running catch-and-shoot jumpers, If you want to calculate it, this is still his old job.

But he is not ready to run on the first ball, this is not the regular tactics of the Rockets, the Rockets players pulled away, Howard still stubbornly resisted the little giant in the back, but refused to go around the front to defend, Paul also has a high emotional intelligence, seeing that this is Da Yao's home field, he gently pushed, and the ball was given to Yao Ming in a very comfortable posture.

Passing in basketball is also a great knowledge, the angle of passing is not tricky, there is no good sense of vacant passing, these are just the most basic qualities of passing, many fans see some point guards break through to the crowd, and then use a very coquettish action to pass the ball out of the crack and feel very powerful, in fact, this is really just a routine operation.

The real master of passing, not to see the vacant position in the passing of the ball, but to rely on their own pass to lead others to run out of the vacant position, some of the master of the pass is still very comfortable to feed the ball, not only so that the receiver can take advantage of the situation, but also significantly improve the shooting rate of the receiver, but these things are not visible to the fans with their eyes, and only pure point guard masters like Kidd can do the pass.

And Totoro thinks that Paul is undoubtedly a strengthened version of Kidd, and he and Kidd of the same age don't know who is good or bad in passing skills, but in terms of offensive ability and athleticism, Paul is not a star and a half stronger than the old monsters of the same period, although Kidd was also very strong in attack when he was young, but Queen Bee was a point guard who had been deducted in front of Howard!

Paul's pass seemed ordinary, but Yao Ming was very comfortable to hold, and his body even involuntarily made a turnover jump shot along the ball, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket through Howard's fingers.

"Beautiful!"

Da Yao couldn't help but give Paul a thumbs up, he has never met such a good passer since he played in the NBA, Alston and the like don't mention it, Maddie is very talented in passing, but people don't like to pass the ball and like to attack by themselves, and the little giant is helpless.

Turning back on the defensive end, the Magic realized the power of the Rockets' upgraded roster this year.

Last year's Paul was the point guard of the best defensive team, Andre Iguodala was the best defensive point guard, and Totoro and Battier were both three-team players, but everyone knew they were capable of competing for a team or even a team.

Coupled with Yao Ming's absolute height and the best defensive second-team boxing champion on the bench, if Adelman puts on a set of Paul + Battier + Iguodala + Totoro + Yao Ming or Chandler this year, it is estimated that they don't need to score, and they can stop the other teams' defenses by defense alone.

Nelson wants to take the ball across the half court to organize the offense, but how can the Queen Bee let him get his wish? Just the first round of attack Paul started to press in the half, in terms of physical strength, Nelson is considered a strong body among the guards and has no advantage in front of Paul, and he is not Paul's opponent in terms of speed, coupled with Paul's power of steals for two consecutive years, Nelson suddenly felt that the ball in his hand was almost unlucky, and others wanted to come out to respond, but Iguodala and Totoro also reacted immediately, using their athleticism beyond ordinary players to block the ball, and they were about to be forced by the Rockets for violations, In the end, it was the rookie Jordan Hill who made a mistake in this ring, although this black boy played really positively, but his brain was a little simpler, and he was shaken off by Lewis's continuous reverse run to receive the ball, and then dribbled to the three-point line and was shaken up by the opponent, and he gave three free throws.

"Don't be nervous, boy, it's just a preseason game, pay attention to your movements, don't get too many fouls, otherwise the stats you get from playing less time are destined to not look good, and it's very bad for you in your rookie years."

Hill was honestly scared that he would be able to start as a rookie and be on a championship team, which was unthinkable before, but now the facts are happening in front of his eyes.

Jordan Hill would definitely lie if he wasn't excited, but at the same time he felt a lot of pressure on himself, just like the ball in front of him, the other four bigwigs had already completed 90% of the work, but in the last 10% of his own responsibility, he made a mistake, who would not be annoyed?

But Totoro seemed to see Jordan Hill's uneasiness, ran over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, Totoro has just risen from the first year to the second year, and no one on the Rockets team can have more say in the rookie than him, he feels that the first year of entering the NBA is a very important period, and he largely determines the path you can take in the future, and capable rookies can show their abilities, which is of course the best, but rookies with ordinary abilities have no way out? The answer is no.

As long as you have the confidence, the confidence in yourself every day and the readiness to play, there will always be times when you will shine, and how bad can the players who can be spotted by NBA scouts be? You must have a skill, these specialties may be discovered by yourself, or you may not have discovered them, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are not disappointed in yourself, then you will always have a day to get ahead.

"Thank you, boss, I'll definitely pay attention next time!"

Lewis hit all three free throws, Totoro ran to the frontcourt, Tekoglu stuck to Totoro, he vaguely remembered the scene when he was beaten by the opponent in last year's championship, so this summer not only Totoro is practicing hard, the Turks also did not go on vacation, because of the excitement of Totoro, Tekoglu was not only not traded by the Magic team, but also improved himself more than before, and now the physical strength of the Turkish agent has obviously improved, My neighbor totoro himself can no longer squeeze him out of his tonnage as easily as he did a few months ago to create space for himself.

It's just that Totoro still has a way to cure him, talent is constant, you can put in the effort to reach the top of your talent, but hard work can be done by anyone, but talent is not equal to everyone, the same two very hard working people, the final achievement will only change in that little bit of unfairness.

Although the Turk has gained weight, his speed and agility have decreased a little bit, because his skeleton cannot withstand the pressure of this weight, but Totoro does not have this problem, and he is naturally better suited to basketball than Turkoglu.

Totoro turned around with a light back and asked the Turkish agent to stalk, Chris Paul, who has been playing in the league for 5 years, is not the budding Stephen Curry who has just entered the league, he noticed his movements and judged his path from the moment Totoro turned around, and quickly and appropriately threw the ball into the air, ready to complete an aerial relay with Totoro.

Howard reacted and wanted to make up for it, but the monster was obviously a beat slower this time, and although he also flew into the air, Totoro was 100% sure that the ball was dunked through the monster.

However, Totoro did not do this, because he saw that Jordan Hill had fallen to the other side of the basket and was ready to fight for the ball that Totoro accidentally dunked, seeing the rookie fighting like this, Totoro was ready to give him a big gift, he did not dunk after receiving the basketball in the air, but he was like a setter, and gently hit the ball on the rebound, and the ball immediately bounced obediently from the left side of his side to the right side of the rebound.

Hill's reaction was also very fast, he immediately jumped high and took the basketball with both hands, and then used all his brute strength to dunk the basket, "Bang! With a loud bang, the entire basket was pulled down by him, and the blue frame shook slightly under his thunder rage, and what was so good was that his body that rushed forward just hit Howard who had just landed, and the poor monster didn't even have time to react before he was knocked to the ground by the rookie, although those who know the ball know that this is not Jordan Hill who knocked down Howard, at most it can only be regarded as his sneak attack, but the vast majority of people in this world are still pseudo fans.

"Roar!!"

The excited Jordan Hill ripped his jersey and roared loudly at the audience! He was able to knock over the league's No. 1 center with the first goal, is he really so strong?

My Neighbor Totoro and Paul looked at each other and smiled, Queen Bee didn't care that Totoro passed the ball to him and passed it out again, he didn't get an assist, the data of the preseason game is not recorded in the official statistics, and he is not a data controller, if there is an easier way to play the game is both beautiful and easy to win, Paul feels that he doesn't mind being a second master.
