Sean. Battier had a headache with Dimoan's pace and the Grizzlies' pick-and-roll, while Marc Battle. Gasol, distressed by Yao Ming's gorgeous steps and unattainable height.

The Grizzlies and the Rockets are in a delicate balance at this time, and once one of the offensive arrows is restricted, then this balance will be broken.

In the second quarter of the game, Hollins and Rockets coach Adelman tacitly did not use the main lineup, but gave the rotation lineup playing time that was not inferior to the main lineup. This is a preseason game, which is meant to be a training run-in, but the rotation lineups of the two teams are the first to determine the winner in the second quarter of the game.

This season's Rockets are at the peak of the Yao Mai combination. The roster has also been significantly upgraded this summer, especially this summer, when the Rockets brought in Artest and Brent, one of the league's top defensive players. Barry is an excellent three-point shooter.

The arrival of these two people is not a half-star improvement for the Rockets, not to mention that the Rockets rotation lineup already has Mutombo, an African mountain, in charge. Not to mention how offensive this lineup is, but it is extremely difficult for the opponent to tear a piece of meat from them.

As a result, the Grizzlies bench was defeated before the new season. Batum, who had shown some signs of scoring ability before, was completely suppressed in the face of Artest, a fierce man. Although Lowry's pressure is not as great as Batum's opposition and Artest, he likes to shake off his opponent and go straight to the penalty area, and he has been pressed down twice by the African mountain Mutombo.

Two important scoring points in the Grizzlies' rotation were scrapped in an instant after the game against the Rockets. At this time, the situation faced the Grizzlies, at a disadvantage, the sideline head coach Hollins just wanted to change to the starting lineup in advance, and Milicic, who was not optimistic about his training attitude before, was facing the short interior Hayes exploded.

With his ability to play inside and out, Milicic, a European talent, did not choose to be tough on the inside with the Rockets, who are extremely strong on the inside. Lefou-like, floating on the outside is not able to shoot or live.

Milicic is 2.13 meters tall, floating outside the paint area to shoot, facing Hayes, who is only 1.98 meters tall and still playing as a power forward, Milicic's altitude and the shooting feel of European players, after all, before Ding Moan and a group of starters came up, they didn't let the rotation lineup lose too badly. But the rotation lineup that lacked two outside scoring points, and at the end of the second quarter, the margin couldn't stop coming to 10.

After halftime, the third quarter is the key to the finals, after all, it is not the NBA regular season, but a warm-up preseason. After all, no manager will put his players in a pre-season game and let them fight to the death. When it came to the decisive part, Hollins naturally sent the starter. On the Rockets' side, due to the excellent performance of the bench lineup, Rockets coach Adelman simply did not replace them, so that the starting lineup had more time to rest.

However, after Ding Moan stood on the court this time, he was just about to run, and was entangled by Artest, the league's top defensive player. Artest's murderous reputation was well-known in the United States after the Auburn Hills palace incident, and he can be called the villain of this era. was entangled by Artest, and as soon as Ding Mo'an wanted to use his speed to get rid of it, Artest posted it.

The close-quarters defense was not endless, and Artest used his size to knock the unprepared Ding Moan into a sturdy. And at this time, Kevin. Lefu also saw that his partner was in trouble, you must know that Artest's hands are not clean. Sure enough, when Kevin. Lefu responded in a high position, Artest pretended to inadvertently stretch out a pair of iron elbows and smashed Ding Mo'an who wanted to bypass him at the same time.

Bang!

After taking an elbow, Ding Mo'an's movements couldn't help but pause, and he could only miss Kevin. Loafers cover when creating empty spaces. Seeing that he had managed to disrupt a high post attack, Artest was satisfied with his defense. After all, what he is most willing to do on the field is to make the boss of the opposing team suffer.

Since he couldn't run the vacant position and went to the vacant position to shoot, Ding Mo'an immediately asked Mike. Conley's direction, he is not a loser, silent person!

With Ding Moan and Mike. Conley passed and received the ball with his hand, and the basketball suddenly appeared in Ding Mo'an's hand. Artest was overjoyed, Ding Mo'an was thin and weak, even if after weight gain training, his physical confrontation ability increased, but he could not reach Artest's physical confrontation strength for the time being.

After all, Artest is a player who started out on defense, although he is not the same as Sean. Battier is average, and is also one of the league's top defenders. Battier is different in that Sean. Battier defends with his brains, and he relies on his physical fitness to run amok and have a pair of iron elbows.

The only use of his brain for him was to make him more excited, and now he was excited. What is the way a defensive player wants to become famous quickly? It must be to guard against the league's top scorers, such as the most iconic Kobe. And Sean. Battier and Artest are also famous for restricting Kobe Bryant, who cuts like vegetables.

And although Ding Mo'an is only a rookie now, this rookie has really received too much attention. The previous Ding Moan incident, after surpassing the Jordan University season scoring average, was hailed as a man who surpassed God, and then became a MOP, led the Tigers to win the championship, and even refused the feat of the Bulls' first-round pick.

It can be said that although Ding Mo'an has not played a single NBA main game, his popularity, and even the popularity of his name, surpasses many superstars in the league. Such a famous person, standing in front of Artest, how can Artest not be excited, because as long as he guards Ding Mo as if he has hit a wall, he will definitely be the one who will appear in the newspaper headlines tomorrow!

Therefore, Artest, who had previously destroyed the high position with one elbow, set a new goal, stealing or blocking Ding Mo'an once!

In his opinion, Ding Mo'an can't get rid of himself without the ball, let alone in the case of holding the ball, Artest expressed his willingness to Ding Mo'an's behavior of sending him to find death.

But before he could continue his reverie, he looked at Ding Mo'an, who had a timer time of ten seconds, grabbed the ball with both hands and swung the ball to the right, and at the same time stepped out with his right foot to widen the distance between him and Artest. And Artest is naturally impossible to be like Ding Mo'an when he is without the ball, he can pounce on Ding Mo'an with his whole person, and under Ding Mo'an's tentative step, he also retreats a small step away.

This distance is the safest, even if Ding Mo'an is fast, it is impossible to bypass Artest, who is tall and has long arms and palms, in a short time. And Ding Mo'an naturally knew, so while forcing Artest to take a step back, Ding Mo'an held the ball violently, a pair of long arms hung down like a moon, and the basketball swung back and forth between the two arms.
