After losing to the SuperSonics at home, the Rockets traveled to the New Jersey Nets.

The current Nets are not the team of the three-headed monster that came later.

The current team stars Van Horn, Kittels, Kendall, Jason Williams, Chris Gatlin and Sherman Douglas.

Although the Nets are not the same team that made it to the Finals now, they still have every chance to make the playoffs this year.

In the face of the visiting Rockets, the Nets showed a high will to fight.

Both Van Horn and Kittels, who just entered the NBA this year, are excited to play against a team like the Rockets.

At the start of the game, Van Horn faced Garnett.

Looking at this big man who was always floating on the outside, Garnett said helplessly: "Man, can't you get into the inside, don't you know that your height is 6 feet 10, I thought you were a 5 foot 10 little man, always hanging outside." ”

Van Horn glanced at Garnett and said, "I said high school student, can't you just keep your mouth shut, is it that the league rules that 6-foot-10 people must play inside." ”

Garnett was speechless, it is true that the league does not have such a rule.

Watching Van Horn hit a high jumper after making a pick-and-roll on the perimeter, Garnett could only continue to run with Van Horn on the outside.

Olajuwon on the inside is very handy, and the center on the inside is Michael Long, who is only 6-foot-9.

This guy who scored multiple points on the rebound can only create a small obstacle for Olajuwon.

It was the Nets' guard line, which caused a lot of trouble for the Rockets.

Kittels was a '96 rookie and his growth over the past two years has been skyrocketing.

A precise three-point shot is a headache.

Just give him a chance, and the player known as 'Mosquito' will bite you hard.

In Kendall and Sherman Douglas, the trio are adding a wildly projected power forward and a coolie center.

There is no doubt about the scoring ability of this lineup, but the defensive ability is much worse.

However, their opponent today is the Rockets, who are arguably one of the toughest teams in the league.

Such an opponent is the most taboo for a team like the Nets, and people's unhurried offense can only push you to death little by little.

You don't even have a chance to resist.

Such a player is the nemesis of a crazy projection team like the Nets.

Watching Olajuwon and Garnett stroll on the inside, this kind of interior line made the head coach of the Nets, John Calipari, very helpless, and he knew that if he couldn't come up with a solution to the Nets' weakness on the inside, then they could only be a pseudo-strong team.

The clock passed as Olajuwon and Garnett wreaked havoc on the Nets' interior, and the first quarter was over.

The Rockets took a six-point lead at 25:19.

Looking at this situation, John Calypari said to the players of the Nets: "Now we don't have an advantage on the inside, then we will focus on the outside, Kittels, Horn, you must dare to shoot, don't be afraid of not being able to shoot, we speed up the pace of the attack, they have Garnett and Horry, they are all old men, they can't run, we have to use speed to drag them down, okay, boys." ”

From the second quarter onwards, the Nets brought their rhythm up, relying on the crazy runs of Kendall, Kittels and Van Horne, and the Nets really had a bit of a run-and-gun flavor.

Lao Tang shook his head with a smile when he saw that the net team had raised the speed.

With a wave of his hand, the rocket went up and down three times.

once again sacrificed his own run-and-bomb tactics, and this change of tactics suddenly blinded the Nets.

Aren't you fast, I'm faster than you.

Ray Allen and his teammate Kittels hit three-pointers.

Bodi Roga taught Sherman Douglas how to control the tempo of the run.

And with Bodi Roga's assist, Horry is like James Worthy possessed, and the fast break is the shocking tomahawk dunk that is constantly staged.

Even Big Ben also performed two air relays to fully show his strength.

On the other hand, on the Nets' side, after the Rockets replaced such a group of personnel, the Nets' own offense could not go up, and the defense could not come back, and they could only rely on their individual ability to get points, and the collective strength could not be reflected completely, so it could be said that they were completely mired in the quagmire.

It was in such a situation that the Nets finally dragged the game into halftime.

Now the score is 55:39, and the Rockets have a 16-point lead.

After halftime, the Rockets completely crushed the Nets at the beginning of the third quarter.

It took only five minutes for the Rockets to extend the game to 25 points.

In this way, the Rockets completely put a bunch of their own benches, Antonio Daniels, (Jr.) Mark Jackson, Austin Crohill, Saulius, and added a big book.

Such a pure substitute plastic surgery and net team have been entangled.

Surprisingly, the Rockets' lineup is also playing well with the Nets.

Daniels' assist vision is excellent, and his defensive footwork is also great, and as a backup guard, he has done a great job, but he is just shooting poorly, shooting only about 30%.

Needless to say, Saulus, a Lithuanian, is a panacea character in the backfield, and he can play a role there.

Austin Crohill, a big white man who was not valued by the Pacers, seems to have found his place in the Rockets, his shooting action is simply a textbook standard, although he has very little playing time now, but he himself is still training according to the goals set for him by the Rockets uniform team, and working hard to gain more playing time.

Mark Jackson, the second-round pick of the year, after polishing in Europe for a period of time, thoroughly recognized his shortcomings and strengths, and worked hard to strengthen his foot movement training, and now the starting point is defense, but after partnering with Big Ben today, he found that he could also use some of his experience to attack.

Such a combination of pure substitutes survived the rest of the game for the Rockets in the third quarter, although the cooperation and tacit understanding were not very in place.

However, the talent shown by these players has made so many people blush.

John Calipari watched the Rockets tie with a group of players who didn't play much, and could only smile wryly.

The score of the third quarter was 88-63

The Rockets continued to extend their advantage in the second quarter.

In the last quarter, three minutes after the start of the game, the Nets replaced all the main players and completely gave up such a game.

The rockets did not carry out a single massacre.

It was still the benches in the second half of the third quarter who were playing.

However, the Nets' benches are really not comparable to the players on the court right now.

Under Daniels' command, these benches of the Rockets also showed their talent.

By the end of the game, the Rockets had won by just 30 points against the Nets.

Such a score disappointed all the fans who watched the Nets game live.

117：87

In front of the Rockets bench players who cooperated with each other, the Nets' bench was taught a good lesson.

After the game, Nets head coach John Calipari praised the Rockets' performance.

Think they're the best team in recent years, and the Bulls are on the same level.

And frankly believes that the only one who can wrestle with the Bulls this year can only be the Rockets.

With such accolades, the Rockets once again traveled to Charlotte to challenge the Hornets away.

After this game, the management of the Nets is also determined to rebuild the team.

The management of the Nets was unwilling to be kicked in the face by the Rockets' bench players.

The New Jersey Nets, a team that would have been rebuilt in '01, entered the rebuilding sequence ahead of schedule.

The restlessness of the Nets began early
