On Nov. 4, the Rockets lost 82-90 at home to the visiting Trail Blazers, suffering a two-game losing streak. The defending champions have had a poor start to the new season and a worrying outlook after the civil unrest.

David Lee had a double-double, shooting 4-of-7 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line to finish with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Maddy didn't have a good hand in this game, hitting just 9 of 27 shots, finishing with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. Without Yao Ming's interior offense, it would be difficult for the team to win by relying only on David Lee and Maddie. Blake is a pure point guard with a good sense of assists, but he can't help the team much in scoring. Childres, who was traded from the Hawks, scored 14 points, but his position overlapped with Maddy's and he could only come off the bench.

The young Trail Blazers played very well, winning two in a row in the new season, after Randolph was traded, Aldridge appeared at the starting power forward position, scoring 17 points and 8 rebounds, Roy 22 points and 6 assists, Durant 16 points and 6 rebounds, and Szczebiak scored 12 points off the bench.

Hayes watched the game, and Rondo, who had become a giant with the Celtics in his previous life, was now just a substitute for Jarrett Jack. played 13 minutes, scored 4 points and 3 assists, and didn't play much.

Hayes suddenly had a thought in his heart, should he suggest that the Bobcats executives contact the Trailblazers? If you trade Okafor and a role player for Aldridge and Rondo, it seems to be a little tougher. Aldridge is also very fast, and has the ability to shoot from mid-range, so he should have no problem running and shooting. Rondo has left the Celtics Big Three and can become a star, Hayes is not sure. But the Trail Blazers' young men are too much of a threat to the future, and if they can be broken up now, they may have fewer opponents in the future.

However, it seems difficult for the Trail Blazers to trade Okafor, whose contract is about to expire and needs a high-salary extension, for the Trail Blazers' low-salary, high-energy future superstar. By the same token, it would be difficult for the Rockets to agree to send David Lee. The Bobcats don't have a shortage of "chips" to take, but it's hard to get interest in giving away Okafor alone.

After thinking about it, Hayes still called David Lee, with low salary and high energy, and being able to run and hit, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for David Lee.

However, David Libihayes imagined a dead eye. Of course, David Lee is willing to join the Bobcats, but he is not willing to do anything to deliberately retain his strength, and wants to do his best to win in the Rockets. If he deliberately retains his strength, he feels sorry for the Houston fans who support him, after all, this is where he won the championship.

"If you play star stats, it's going to be difficult to get you to transfer." Hayes said helplessly.

"A lot of people have gone this season, and now the Houston fans like me, and if I really can't move, I'll stay. When Oden comes back next year, the Rockets will also have a good future. David Lee said. He was also as superstitious as everyone else.

Hayes really wanted to tell David Lee that Auden wasn't a big deal after his comeback. However, I still choose to respect David Lee's choice. After all, David Lee's mentality is correct, as a player, he should strive to win every game, Hayes used to watch too many "fake A" in football, and felt that it was nothing to fool David Lee to save some effort, but he ignored the work ethic of the Americans, and as a result, he hit a soft nail.

After hanging up the phone, Hayes immediately discussed with Van Gundy not to let anyone else call David Lee again. Send the trading plan directly, whether it can be achieved depends on luck, or plan a three-way transaction.

If David Lee can't come, there are few inside lines to choose from. The Grizzlies' Pau Gasol, who is a low-key and strong player, will be the top target of the Bobcats. If Kobe Bryant didn't join forces with Gasol, the Lakers would not have won the championship at all. But the Grizzlies now have Al Horford and have a lot more strength. It's uncertain whether Gasol Hayes will be traded again, so let the Bobcats uniform team handle these things.

The next day, the Bobcats flew to Miami to take on the Heat on the road.

The last two years in the NBA league have been strange, the championship is like a curse, the Heat won the championship in 2006, and last season was swept by the Bulls in the first round. The Rockets won the championship last season, and Oden, the champion who worked hard to get it, was reimbursed for the season without playing, and lost two consecutive games in the opening game, and no one knows what the playoffs can be.

The Heat also made a lot of trades in the summer.

First, he signed former Lakers point guard Smush Parker and veteran Anfernee Hardaway.

He then completed a deal with the 76ers that involved five players and a draft pick. The Heat sent three-time All-Star Walker, backup center Michael Doriak, and rookie center Jason Smith to the 76ers, who sent former Heat swingman Ricky Davis and rookie guard Daquin Cook.

The Heat's 15-man lineup for the regular season is as follows:

Centre-forwards: O'Neill, Alonzo Mourning, Joel Anthony.

Power forwards: Earl Baron, Haslem, Alexander Johnson.

Small forwards: Ricky Davis, Dorrell Wright, Devon Green.

Shooting guards: Dwyane Wade, Anfernee Hardaway, Daquane Cook.

Point guards: Smush Parker, Jason Williams, Chris Quin.

O'Neal's form has been getting worse and worse, and the only really strong team for the Heat team is Wade now. I don't know if it was the Heat's bad luck or the Bobcats' luck, the Heat's only superstar, Wade, sprained his ankle in the first game and was out for a week.

The opening Heat lined up the starting lineup of Jason Williams, Ricky Davis, Dorrell Wright, Haslem and O'Neal.

The Bobcats have the same lineup as in the last game: Jose Calderón, Petrus, Gerard Wallace, Hayes, Biedrins.

Before the game, the media predicted that Okafor would start defending O'Neal in this game, but D'Antoni still put Okafor on the bench, and the defense adopted man-to-man tactics, and the responsibility of defending O'Neal was handed over to Hayes. Bidrins defends against big forward Haslem, who is only 203cm tall.

Once the game started, Biedlings jumped the ball to win O'Neal comfortably, and it was accurately dialed to Hayes, who received the ball and passed it to Wallace, who didn't wait for anyone else to settle down and singled Dorrell Wright for a jumper. 2 to 0.

With O'Neal there, the Heat can only play positional offense. As soon as O'Neill saw that Hayes was on defense, he immediately felt that the fire was big.

O'Neal, who is 216cm tall, faces Hayes, who is 198cm tall, and there is a big difference in stature between the two standing together, but what happened next was not a story of a big fish eating, and O'Neill couldn't take any advantage from Hayes.

Many people have forgotten that Shanghai Yers once defended O'Neal alone in the All-Star Game, and O'Neal himself remembers it vividly. His most annoying opponent is Hayes.

Hayes doesn't have height, but he has a lot of strength. If it was O'Neill in his prime, he would naturally not take Hayes seriously, but now he is really old. He's not the big killer on the inside anymore, he's still on the heavily, but he's getting slower and slower, and he can't rampage on the inside like he did when he was younger.

The first attack of the Heat team opened up to O'Neal, trying to use the power of the big shark to clean up the short inside line of the Bobcats, the shark hit Hayes with the ball on the left side, and even arched four times, Hayes also gave full strength, and withstood the impact of O'Neal's 300 pounds with excellent lower handicap strength.

The old shark reluctantly gave up the idea of entering the three-second zone, turned around and barely shot, and hit the iron under Hayes's interference. Biedrins won the rebound, the Bobcats immediately went on a fast break, Calderon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and received Wallace's block and directly broke through to the layup to score 4-0.

The Heat hit the iron again with O'Neal's positional offense, the rebound was grabbed by Wallace, and the Bobcats hit another fast break, and Wallace handed it to Petrus, who rushed to the frontcourt, who hit a layup. 6 to 0.

O'Neal's speed of defense is too slow, as long as the shot does not go in, the Bobcats can immediately form a frontcourt to play more and less when they win the rebound.

With 9:12 left in the first quarter, Hayes finally scored, receiving a pass from a teammate on the left baseline, turning inside to dodge Haslem's defense, and scoring an easy layup.

O'Neal's power was still there, scoring six points on 3-of-6 shooting in the first quarter. But he was leaky on the defensive end, and the Heat were outscored 34-21 by the Bobcats.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats were replaced by Okafor, and O'Neal still couldn't take advantage of it in the slightest. Okafor eats on defense. O'Neal's two offenses after the opening were unsuccessful, the Heat lost Wade, and the interior players were also killed by the Bobcats. O'Neal got worse and worse the more he played, and soon received a third foul and went off the court.

The Heat relied on the offense of Ricky Davis and Dorrell Wright and the Bobcats on their home court, trailing by 25 points at halftime.

The Bobcats' running and bombing completely controlled the pace of the game, and when the Heat replaced O'Neal and used the 206cm tall Joel Anthony to play center, the Rockets changed their offensive style of play, leaving the Heat team who had adjusted their lineup at a loss.

125 to 90. The Bobcats scored over 120 points in two consecutive games. The Heat fans were so disappointed that they had already started to leave the game early with 10 minutes left in the game.

Hayes played less than three quarters in this game before being replaced to watch his teammates play, scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. He couldn't help but sigh at the speed at which the Heat fell like a meteorite. They were champions one season ago, and now they're out of content, and it's going to be tough to get to the playoffs.

In this game, the Bobcats had 7 more players score in double figures, the highest scorers were Gerard Wallace 23 points and 7 rebounds and Felton 18 points and 5 assists, Azubuuk hit 3 3-pointers and scored 11 points, Okafor 12 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, Weaver 11 points, and Landry came on in garbage time in the fourth quarter and scored 10 points and 5 rebounds. Calderon had a poor hand today, scoring just four points and dishing out seven assists.

After the game, the Heat team Pat Riley expressed his disappointment with his team. Last season's defeat was a small matter and the most serious problem was that the players were no longer working hard. Without Wade, they simply can't put any pressure on their opponents. There was no offense and no defense.

Pat Riley, nicknamed "The God Operator," has calculated that the Heat are far from a championship, and even if they want to make the playoffs, it will not be easy. If you want to be a strong team again, you must find a new helper for Wade and rebuild.

D'Antoni is pleased with the Bobcats' current lineup, saying: "We can play and attack now, and the Bobcats are a real strong team. I think they're better than the Suns last season. Because the Suns players have poor offensive ability with the ball, and rely more on Nash's split-ball shooting to score, the Bobcats play more flexibly, Okafor can provide efficient defense for the team, and Hayes and Gerald Wallace and Felton also have strong offensive ability with the ball. We're going back to Charlotte tomorrow to play a game against the Suns, back-to-back games are going to be tough, but I'm sure my players are the best and they're going to win the game! ”

The Suns also played very well in the first two games of the season. In the 103-90 win over the Cavaliers, Nash had 30 points and 10 assists, Marion also had 23 points and 12 rebounds, and Stodammire had 18 points and seven rebounds.

When two running teams meet, it will be a big battle!
