Before the first quarter was over, Jeremy Lin had scored five points and dished out three assists. Jeremy Lin's role on the Rockets seems to be more obvious and significant than he did with the Knicks. And McHale is also quite face-saving, and so far, he has not replaced him.

After Sun Xiaotian came on the court, Coach Thibodeau told him to hold the ball more. After all, it's only pre-season, and scouting players and running in the squad is the first priority.

Sun Xiaotian's baseline serve, Marquis. Teague dribbled to the front court, and Sun Xiaotian ran to the right side at 45 degrees for Jimmy. Butler covers. However, Jimmy. Butler just feints, and the real street ball is still Sun Xiaotian.

Sun Xiaotian took the ball, facing Douglas, who was defending him, he first leaned forward and feint, Douglas was deceived and hurriedly retreated, but Sun Xiaotian immediately changed hands under his crotch and stopped urgently, and Douglas was shaken out half a meter. Sun Xiaotian calmly fired, but the ball hit the front of the basket and didn't score!

Although this ball is a pity, it can be seen from Sun Xiaotian playing old fritter Douglas how calm Sun Xiaotian is on the court.

However, when the Rockets attacked, Sun Xiaotian unexpectedly changed his defense to Jeremy Lin. Under the cheering of the fans at the scene, Jeremy Lin motioned to his teammates to open up space, and he wanted to singled Sun Xiaotian. Sun Xiaotian seemed a little flustered at first, but slowly he calmed down. He leaned over and lifted his shorts up, his hands spread.

Jeremy Lin watched the time and slowly dribbled towards Sun Xiaotian. Suddenly, Jeremy Lin took a cross-step, and the speed was so fast that Sun Xiaotian was astonished. At this step, Jeremy Lin passed Sun Xiaotian's position by half a moment. Jeremy Lin smiled slightly, and at this time in front of him was the veteran Mohammed.

Muhammad has old arms and legs, how can he keep up with Jeremy Lin's pace, so I don't go out under the basket, let you shoot!

Jeremy Lin didn't let it go much, and after passing Sun Xiaotian, he jumped up and shot at the free throw line. Shooting in this place does not have any pressure on Sun Xiaotian, and it is basically for nothing.

However, at the moment of his shot, a large hand appeared above his head and pressed it on the ball.

"What?" Jeremy Lin was a little surprised, thinking how could he jump so high.

In this way, Jeremy Lin was pressed down alive, and the person fell heavily to the ground. Sun Xiaotian, who was on top, glanced back, who was humiliating him so much.

Jeremy Lin only saw a back, "No. 35!" ”

This person is Sun Xiaotian!

After Jeremy Lin passed Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian did not give up, he still turned around as fast as he could. With his excellent physical condition, when Jeremy Lin jumped up and shot, Sun Xiaotian used his excellent bounce to press him down.

Cover Jeremy Lin's shot, Marquis. Teague got the ball, he quickly dribbled and ran to the front court, and Sun Xiaotian also made a fast attack for the first time.

At this time, the Rockets' players have also stepped back into place. Teague observed the situation, and he passed the ball to Sun Xiaotian, who was following up in the middle. Sun Xiaotian dribbled twice and was already near the free throw line, but Douglas, who was defending him, was already on his way forward at this time.

Just when everyone thought that Sun Xiaotian was going to make a jump shot, no one thought that he didn't seem to think about it, and his right hand suddenly hooked his back and passed it to Gibson who caught up on the left. Gibson didn't wait, and when he received the ball, he got up with a two-handed dunk, and the momentum sank.

"Whew... Whew..."

When the audience saw this scene, they erupted in thunderous cheers. Look at the Bulls' bench again, everyone is dancing there, especially Nate, with his mouth wide open, as if he wants to eat someone.

This wonderful goal was replayed and several times on the big screen. Fans may have been impressed by Gibson's final blow, but it was Sun's dexterity and wit that the pundits and coaches admired alike.

At the end of the first quarter, the goal was rightfully named Goal of the Year. Although there was only one assist and one rebound in the first half, the Bulls narrowed the score to 32-25 in the first quarter, and the Bulls trailed by seven points at 32-25 in the first quarter.

The Bulls scored 25 points in the first quarter, which can be said to be decent. However, for the Rockets to score 32 points, it is a bit too much to say. If it were to actually enter the regular season, such a defense would definitely make Thibodeau vomit blood.

But then again, the Rockets played really well offensively, and the main credit should go to the Haring combination in the backcourt. Both men can score, and at the same time, they can organize the whole team, and as long as anyone stays on the court, the Rockets' rhythm will not be chaotic.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Sun Xiaotian was still on the court, and the Bulls put Jimmy. Butler came on and replaced Belineri, and Sun Xiaotian played the No. 3 position.

On the Rockets' side, Jeremy Lin was replaced by McHale, and he sat there in his coat talking and laughing with Parsons and Harden, and seemed to have forgotten the bloody cap just now.

Replacing Jeremy Lin was Marcus. Morris, he played the No. 3 position, directly opposite Sun Xiaotian.

－－－－－－

After the start of the game, after surviving the first few minutes, Sun Xiaotian has gradually adapted to the rhythm on the court. It can be seen from the way he runs that there is no stiffness before.

Teague holding the ball was just a transition, and after the frontcourt, Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to come out to catch the ball. Immediately after that, Gibson came out to block and cover Sun Xiaotian, and with Gibson's cover, Sun Xiaotian threw Douglas behind him. Jones hurriedly misplaced Sun Xiaotian. However, Sun Xiaotian dribbled with his right hand, his body swayed from side to side, and a Paul-like dodge came and went directly past Jones.

When Jones went to catch up with Sun Xiaotian again, he was already obviously slow. Sun Xiaotian stuck to the armpit of the Rockets defender and made a rebound to score two points.

Coming back to their senses, the Rockets have always instilled McHale's bombardment tactics, no matter who they are, they bite the ball and kill it in the front court as soon as they get it. But without the organization of Harden and Jeremy Lin, the Rockets' style of play is much simpler, with fewer breakthroughs and no outside shooting.

The Bulls easily defended the Rockets' offense, and Gibson pocketed the rebound and handed it to Sun Xiaotian in time. Sun Xiaotian didn't seem to be ready, his hand slipped when he received the ball, and he almost didn't make a mistake!

The opportunity to attack quickly was gone, but Sun Xiaotian was surprisingly calm. He didn't rush to attack like some players who rushed to attack for the sake of fast breaking, and in the end he was being seized by others to play fast break.

Sun Xiaotian stretched out his hand to direct his teammates to run, just like he did when he was at Yale. And the old men of the Bulls on the field also listened to him, which really gave Sun Xiaotian enough face!

Gibson made a fake cover for Sun Xiaotian, and took advantage of the situation to make a reverse run, and Sun Xiaotian saw the opportunity to make a straight plug and went directly to Gibson's hands.

But just when Gibson got up and wanted to dunk again, the long-dormant Rockets Craig. Smith directly covered Gibson's dunk.

The ball flew out directly, and Sun Xiaotian was quick and got the ball first. And turned around and dribbled beyond the three-point line to see Marcus. Morris didn't follow. So Sun Xiaotian decisively adjusted his posture, shot calmly, and the ball went into the net in response, and the shooting posture was extremely standard!

This shot was just the beginning, and in the next 5 minutes or so, Sun Xiaotian confused the Rockets. He scored 7 points alone in the second quarter and directly stopped the Rockets.

The Rockets couldn't find the rhythm of the offense on the court at all, and it can be seen that the absence of Harden and Jeremy Lin on the court has a very big impact on the Rockets.

The Rockets were forced to re-replace the main lineup such as Jeremy Lin and Harden, and Coach Thibodeau also decisively removed Sun Xiaotian, who was feeling hot, and Sun Xiaotian was still unsatisfied when he left the game!

After that, Sun Xiaotian did not play again in the first half. By halftime, the Bulls trailed the Rockets by eight points, 44-52. Sun Xiaotian played 9 minutes in the half and scored 7 points on 3-of-5 shooting, plus 2 assists and 2 rebounds, which was very efficient!
