A convulsive Sula is very terrifying, and in the face of his old club, Sula is very resolute.

The Eagles' first offense was dropped by Alston to Al Jefferson in the low post on the outside, and Jefferson also fully showed his characteristics and adaptability in the low post, dribbling to the right side to cut the inside, shaking the center of gravity of Uncle Huo, and then suddenly turning from the outside to make a jumper, successfully winning the first two points of the Hawks.

Offensive and defensive exchanges, this time Sula did not attack, but passed the ball to Tracy, in the cheers of the audience, Maddie did not use a dry pull-up jumper to try the touch, and rarely began to break through with the ball.

Iguodala's defense was very hard, and the highly focused little AI used slides to stick to Maddie as much as possible, but Maddie didn't choose to shake him off, and threw the ball back into the hands of Saura on the perimeter after stirring up the position of the Eagles defender.

Alston has already pounced, and at the same time, because of Maddy's half-cut breakthrough and Huo Ershu's empty inside, Da Yao has been leaked out under the Hawks basket, and at this time, the Atlanta player rotation has not been made up in time, in fact, Sula's best choice is to quickly transfer the ball to the inside, so that Yao Ming can score easily...... It's just that Sula gave another answer, and shot three points against Alston's defense!

However, he hit the three-pointer again!

Until there were more than two minutes left in the first quarter, when Thibodeau replaced Alston with Van Axel, Sula made three of four three-pointers, plus a breakthrough layup, and scored a staggering 11 points, and the entire Rockets only scored 16 points in the first ten minutes of the first quarter, except for Yao Ming's two free throws for a foul on the white bear Purzbilla, which was a three-pointer thrown by Maddy from the outside.

And Thibodeau's replacement of Alston was not entirely because the street ball king could not effectively limit Sula's play, but because the Eagles' own outside offense could not be opened.

Although Alston can be regarded as a point guard and can be regarded as a decent point guard, and the distribution of the ball can be executed according to Thibodeau's requirements, but the three points of the street ball king are similar to Duan Yu's six-vein divine sword, and the breakthrough is even more restrained by the opposing Sula with his physical advantage.

Iguodala's three-point shooting can only be described as miserable at the moment, and the pressure on the ball-handling offense against a healthy Maddie is also huge, and Josh Smith needless to say, the most suitable offensive style for these two players is the fast break, and the Hawks' two smoothest offenses in the entire first quarter came from the fast break.

The first time was when Uncle Huo couldn't shoot, Purzbira grabbed the rebound and threw out a pass directly, at this time Smith and Iguodala had both rushed through the half, and a simple pass and dunk in the face of Sura made him at a loss. The second time was a steal by Smith when Jackson was holding the ball for too long and the little AI was in the grip, and then it was a galloping horse scene with both of them on the fast break, and the Rockets players could only look at the scene and sigh.

However, in the positional battle, the Hawks could not effectively open the outside attack, which made Al Jefferson, who had succeeded in the first two offenses, be caught by the Rockets, but could not score in the open position, and suddenly pinched off the only offensive pillar of the Hawks.

Van Exel's play-in changed the situation, as Van Crazy came on and scored on a dunk from the basket before Pulzbilla dunked, then hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then drew the defense and passed to Smith for a layup...... Three consecutive offenses pushed the score to 17-18, and the Rockets led by just one point at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides immediately made changes, with the Hawks replacing Iguodala with Crawford, Ariza replacing Smith, Dio replacing Al Jefferson, and Birdman Anderson replacing the Great White Bear as center, and the starting lineup was completely removed.

Van Gundy didn't seem to have much to trust on the bench, keeping Jim Jackson on the court, small guard Tyronn Lue replacing Sula as point guard, Nakba playing the No. 3 position, big forward Padgett who can shoot threes, and Morris Taylor on the center as a temporary top pointer.

As soon as these two lineups collide, the envy of the people will probably become Van Gundy, without him, the athleticism of the Eagles players is too strong.

Van Exel and Crawford are completely two cold guns on the outside, can shoot and burst, the Rockets' main offensive firepower in the second quarter Jim Jackson was entangled by Ariza to death, Tyronn Lue's breakthrough is not dominant in front of the same slow Van Maniac and Crawford, Dio, a player who began to show his talent under his mediocre appearance, the Frenchman who can make the Hawks' bench lineup effectively string together, Anderson is full of vitality, and he came up to give the veteran Jackson a big hat who barely broke through into the interior, There is no bad habit of respecting the old and loving the young......

There is offense, defense and speed, and when the Suns, who played small ball, had not shocked the league, the Hawks' bench had such a shadow. Especially Van Exel, originally this deal Jiang Qi valued the two draft picks this year and next year, and the character player was only traded for a one-year trip of the nature of a temporary worker, but this game made him a little surprised to find that although the veteran Fan Maniac still played more like an SG, he did not blindly control the ball casually, and the timely distribution of the ball was quite the style of an old demon.

With an 11-2 spurt, the Hawks quickly rallied to eight points, forcing Van Gundy to bring in Maddy and Sula early and Tyronn Lue and Jim Jackson. Sura tried to shoot a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, but unfortunately his hand was no longer there, but his defense was very hard, which made Van Exel a lot more uncomfortable.

Trash finally rubbed his trademark sleepy eyes to the enthusiastic shouts of the audience, and began to threaten...... Steal Ariza countered and scored a dunk, made a three-pointer from the outside, and then glided low to the basket after the break...... This is McGrady, in his prime, when he wants to score, it is really difficult to stop, Tieza has almost exhausted all his strength, but still frustrated to find that the 8-point gap has been erased little by little.

Fortunately, everyone on the Hawks' side has a touch, even Anderson scored four points by grabbing the frontcourt rebound, the two teams soared high points in the second quarter, and at halftime, the Rockets re-established a two-point advantage, 53:51, Tracy was even more incredible than Sura in the first quarter, he scored 19 points in the second quarter......

By the end of the half, Thibodeau had his hands on his shoulders and looked thoughtfully at the field...... Theresa poked old Chiang's arm and snorted at Mr. Tom.

"I think Tom should be thinking about how to adjust the lineup, we have too many rookies in our starters, and Ralph is a veteran player, but he is very jerky......
