Rockets starting lineup: Alston, Maddy, Battier, Hayes, Yao Ming.

Cavaliers starters: Eric Snow, Shannon Brown, LeBron James, Drew Gooden, Ilgeskas.

The media predicted before the game who would appear at the Cavaliers' starting point guard position, and the Cavaliers finally gave an answer that no one could think of - Shannon Brown. A very unfamiliar name.

Hayes still knows a little bit about Shannon Brown.

Shannon Brown has an amazing bounce and is now just a first-year rookie. Later, Shannon Brown joined the Lakers and participated in the 2010 slam dunk contest, and he and Kobe Bryant staged a boring drama with the high demand for the championship......

The result was a laugh from the commentators, baffled audiences and judges alike, and Shannon Brown was eliminated in the undisputed first round.

The game begins.

"Big Z" Ilgeskas is one of the few NBA players with weaker bounce than Yao Ming, Yao Ming won the jump ball, and the Rockets attacked first.

Chuck Hayes blocked Alston, Alston broke through easily, attracting Gooden to switch defenses and knock the ball back to Hayes,

Against Eric Snow, Hayes hit a pull-out jumper and the Cavaliers rebounded.

This kind of offense has been played very well with the Rockets, and it is used several times per game. However, Hayes was too excited about James today, and shot a little more with power.

The Cavaliers took the rebound, and Eric Snow dribbled the ball across the half court and handed it to James.

This team has no point guards, only point forwards. The role of the defender is to dribble the ball through the half, and the rest is left to the "little emperor" to decide whether to pass the ball or play himself.

Hayes pestered James and didn't let him start or turn around easily. James squeezed twice by strength, suddenly turned around and jumped outside the three-second zone, and the ball missed, and Yao Ming won the rebound.

Hayes managed to defend James from his first offense. It's a defensive approach that the Rockets have practiced repeatedly.

James' poor shooting touch in the first few games has impressed, James is not a pitcher, and only the breakthrough offense can be used to the fullest.

The Rockets' defensive tactics are clear.

Hayes guarded James from breaking, and if the Cavaliers blocked for James, Battier would make up for it. They're just going to limit James to the three-second zone, so he can only score with a little confidence from the outside.

The Rockets attacked, Alston transferred the ball to Yao Ming, and Shannon Brown immediately followed, taking a trap on Yao Ming.

Yao Ming handed the ball to Maddie.

James stood half a step away, his feet moving gently and rhythmically, his eyes staring at Maddie's face, he wanted to defend him and defeat him!

James once said in the short film that his idol in high school was Maddie.

In 2004, he stood on the basketball court with his idol.

Just as when Yao Ming first entered the league, the person he wanted to challenge the most was O'Neal; When James first entered the league, the most important challenge he wanted to challenge was Maddie, who was at his peak.

At that time, Maddie was the object of rookie LeBron James' gaze. On January 26, 2004, Magic vs Cavaliers, Maddy scored 36 points in 25 minutes (34 points in the half), and sprained his ankle in a fast-break layup in the third quarter. James had palpitations after the game: "Fortunately, he is off, or maybe it will be another 50-point game, even if he puts his hand on his face, he still scores, this must be the most terrible shooting performance I have ever seen." ”

Since then, James has enjoyed competing with Maddie.

The most memorable is the 2006 All-Star Game.

Maddie's loved ones died before that game and she was in a bad mood. So the West End stars are ready to give the MVP to Maddie and feed Maddie all the time, especially Maddie's best friend Kobe. Kobe Bryant was the leading scorer, but he only scored eight points and had eight assists in that game. He has such a performance, obviously to pass the ball to Maddie with all his strength and help Maddie become the MVP. The whole West thinks so, because Houston is owned by Maddie, and everybody wants to fulfill him.

Maddie lived up to expectations, scoring 36 points in the game.

But James didn't buy it...... He sabotaged Maddy's shot in the final minute to help the East successfully salvage a 21-point deficit and turn the West around.

The MVP went to the victorious Eastern Conference All-Stars and to James. And after the game, James himself admitted that Maddie's last shot was a foul, but the referee didn't blow it.

After the game, Bryant was angry, and James's incomprehensible style made the efforts of the Western star in vain.

Maddie didn't say much, but he was the party, could he not be angry?

Jeff Van Gundy was standing not far from Maddy and watched Maddie stand at the top of the arc with the ball. He wanted to shout at Maddie and ask him to hand it over to Yao Ming. However, when he saw Maddie's expression, he changed his mind.

Van Gundy could feel the powerful fighting intent emanating from this Maddie. There was confidence in his eyes, and at the moment, he was as focused as he was at his peak.

LeBron, even if I'm weakened by injury, I can still clean you up!

Maddie held the ball in both hands, slowly swinging her arms, her body trembled suddenly, and she took a step to the right with her left foot, and at the same time, the right hand holding the ball took the ball to the right and rushed out.

In the past, there has been a discussion in the NBA about the speed of a player's start, and if you only look at the first step, the fastest person is Maddie during the Magic period.

As soon as his left foot stepped out, the ball also dribbled out and landed, and his height of 203cm was not only fast, but also far.

James in 2006 wasn't at the point of his defense, and he couldn't keep up, and Maddy hit a pull-up jumper.

2 to 0.

The audience responded with a round of applause.

Drexler saw the goal and smiled: "This is Maddy's best way of attacking, after he has been injured many times, his physical fitness is not as good as before, but his jump shot is still difficult to prevent." ”

Mark Bullard said: "Before the game, everyone was watching the confrontation between Hayes and James, and people ignored Maddy, and if Maddy can play at 8 percent with the Magic, it's not something that anyone can ignore. ”

Just being shaken off and shooting a ball is nothing to professional player James. His mood was not affected in the slightest, running through the Rockets half, pulling to the top of the arc to ask for the ball.

In terms of skill, James is not as good as Maddie until now, but he has his own advantage, that is, he is almost perverted physique.

If the two are in line, Maddie will certainly not be able to guard against James. However, no coach would make such a stupid arrangement, and James could only face Hayes, who was also physically strong to the point of perversion.

This round, James felt a little uncomfortable. He can use his body to hard eat any of the three positions and use his body to knock them away so he can turn around and start and shoot or drive to the basket.

But he couldn't get Hayes off the hook, like everyone in the league who tried to do it.

If he can't get out of the way, Hayes will be able to defend him closely, and he won't be able to turn and break through easily.

Guden stepped forward to block and block Hayes.

James immediately dribbled around the defense, but before he could get into the three-second zone, he bumped into a man.

Sean Battier slid straight out.

The referee's whistle blew and James was sentenced to hit man with the ball.

Battier was pulled up from the ground by Hayes, and the two laughed and clapped their hands.

The applause from the audience was even louder. James, who is known as Jordan's successor, was defended by the Rockets twice in a row in the opening game.

"Give me the ball!" The Rockets got possession, Maddy said as he passed by Alston.

Alston looked at Maddie, who was expressionless, and thought to himself that this was not a tactic arranged by the coach.

Maddie continued, "Trust me! ”

Sensing Maddie's momentum, Als passed through the half-time without any overdrive.

James immediately posted it.

Maddie received the ball and shook it to the right, then dribbled to the left, making the exact opposite of what she had just done. James immediately moved, but couldn't keep up, and he crashed into Hayes, who was blocking again.

Gooden quickly switched defenses, took a step slower, and Maddie hit another pull-up jumper.

4 to 0.

The Cavaliers attacked in the next round, James chose to pass, and Ilgeskas singled Yao Ming and missed the jumper.

Battier faced Gooden and struggled to grab the rebound in the backcourt. When defending, Hayes and James are directly opposed, and he has to be at the power forward position.

The rocket didn't wait for Yao Ming, and directly attacked quickly. Battier passes Alstom, who hands it to Maddie.

Maddie catches the ball and goes straight to the basket in the middle. His speed was not slow, James was a little faster, Maddie entered the three-second zone, there was no time for a layup, James chased in front of him.

Maddie raised his left hand forward, and James jumped up to block it. How do you know that Maddie is just a feint, the ball is still in his hand, he uses his left foot as the axis, turns around to avoid the block, and hits with a hook hand with his right hand.

6 to 0.

When the goal was scored, screams erupted in the audience, and the fans shouted wildly! This feint made by Maddie is too rare......

"I'm rubbing! Big brother, you're too fierce today, aren't you? Isn't this my footsteps in the sea? Hayes yelled at Maddie as he ran back.

"What's yours, Olajuwon's, okay? Don't think you're the only one who will. Maddie laughed.

Compared with Maddy's heroic form, the Cavaliers, who have just finished playing the Hawks and back-to-back games, look very sluggish.

James sent a wonderful pass, and Shannon Brown missed an open three-pointer. Shannon is still too young now, not to mention the starter, even playing as a substitute is a bit unqualified, his shooting is not reliable, and the offense can basically only rely on breakthroughs and dunks.

Yao Ming won the rebound and handed it to Alstom, and after half the court, Hayes made another block for Maddie. Since Maddie's hands are hot, there is no need for them to implement Yao Ming's singles tactics, and Maddie picks up and dismantles to the right to test the breakthrough.

James took a real look at his movements, bypassing Hayes and taking a step back, ready to wait for Maddie to rush towards him and continue to follow.

However, this time, Maddie took only a small step forward with the ball. Then he took a big step back and exited beyond the three-point line.

James could only watch depressedly as the distance between the other party and himself narrowed.

Gooden also followed Hayes into the interior at this time, completely emptying Maddie.

Maddie pulls up jumper.

"Brush!"

Basketball hollow into the net!

9 to 0.

The Rockets got off to a dream start. Maddie scored 9 points in a row, which was something that no one expected before the game. After a few games of silence, the scoring champion "T-MAC", who was evaluated by experts as the beginning of his transformation, suddenly returned.

Drexler and Matt Bullard were on the comment bench with fans shouting out. There's nothing more exciting than Maddie's return to form.
