Just after returning from the second quarter, Van Gundy and Jordan both switched to the bench lineup, and the main team began to rest.

Maddie and Yao Ming sat on the bench, and Van Gundy asked Jackson to lead the team. The Rockets' sixth-man of the year was doing well, rushing and bursting, and the Bobcats were scrambling inside and outside, with Allen and Iguodala taking turns to defend, but nothing worked well. Jackson has been in the league for more than a dozen seasons, and his experience can be counted in today's NBA, so it's just right to deal with these newcomers.

The Bobcats' bench lineup was a bit inadequate, and even though the three rookies fought bravely, they were still equalized by the opponent and overtook the score. Without Patin present, most of these people are still singles, and teamwork is just a word for them.

Jordan looked at the game and shook his head slightly, very few recruits show their strong combat power as soon as they enter the league, not because they have a problem with their strength, but because they have the wrong mentality.

People who can get into the NBA are the core of the team in high school and college, and all they have to do is attack and attack. It's not like that when you come to the NBA, these people have to learn how to be a role player, learn how to do the dirty work, this ability is not innate, and it can't be easily learned, unless you have the right mindset and honestly start as a blue-collar engineer.

The Bobcats' interior line is Jassidy. White and Oku are hosting, both have good athleticism, and one is good at attacking the box that traditional insiders like, and the other is a standard European big man who is more lethal in the high post, and the two can work together to produce a little chemistry.

But Jordan didn't like the chemistry, and he wanted someone who could replace him on the interior defense when Warburn was off, or someone who could help Warburn defend the interior when the two were on the floor.

This kind of player is not easy to find, Jordan once said to Sloan, who likes to bully Wang Zhizhi. Smith had expectations and deliberately selected through the expansion draft, only to find that this guy's defense was really not enough, and he was very emotional, before the start of the season, the Bobcats had an extra person to reach 16, and Jordan directly cut Smith.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the score was 35-41, and the Bobcats trailed by six points.

Jordan shook his head and called a timeout, Wajben returned to the court, Van Gundy also made adjustments, Maddy and Mutombo played, Yao Ming was still resting on the bench, and it seemed that Van Gundy was not going to send him on the court for the entire second quarter.

As soon as Huaben came on the field, the momentum of the Bobcats changed, and the rookies present sighed together, finally having a pillar, and they didn't have to bear any responsibility later.

Accompanying Huaben was Capono, a small forward who later won the three-point title with the Raptors. In the preseason and the first two games, he didn't have many opportunities, and in the preseason Jordan honed the newcomers, bent on making them grow quickly and provide the team with instant combat power.

Wajben was about to get the ball from beyond the three-point line, and he was a little surprised to see that Maddie and Jackson were both on the court, didn't Van Gundy find the cat between the two? Keeping them here with you, does this guy think the team isn't messy enough?

It's none of his business, and after thinking about it, Huaben pushed Maddie to the inside. This is a move that Jordan has developed for him, using broad shoulders to protect the ball and terrifying power to withstand opponents, so that most people will be knocked out of the way by him. Of course, when encountering someone who can barely wrestle with him in terms of strength, Hua Ben will break through quickly, Jordan is convinced that among the active players in the NBA, the speed faster than Hua Ben must not be as strong as him, and there is no direct strength greater than Hua Ben!

Maddie gritted her teeth against Huaben, and the green tendons on her neck bulged, but it was useless, and she was pushed into the three-second zone step by step. Jackson watched from the distance, not in the slightest intention of coming up to help.

Van Gundy was dissatisfied, he stood up and roared, "Jimmy, are you watching a fucking movie in Hollywood?" Steal his ball, steal him! ”

Jackson, though unruly, is not an idiot, and he knows that he has offended the boss now, and if he offends the head coach again, then he doesn't have to mess around with the Rockets. Therefore, as soon as Van Gundy spoke, he immediately ran towards Huaben.

Huaben was waiting for this time, and as soon as Jackson moved, he quickly put away the ball and turned around to pass to Capono, who had been waiting outside the three-point line for a long time.

Jackson wanted to defend back, but Capono jumped up quickly and slashed his first three-pointer of the game.

Mutombo served to point guard Charlie who came off the bench. Ward, Allen's tough defense made the other party suffer, this guy is very different from Wade, Allen can even eat Wade, let alone this guy?

Maddie is now both a father and a mother, and Ward went up to pick him up just after halftime.

Wajburn stared at Maddie from beyond the three-point line, Jackson ran leisurely, and Capono followed him, this guy could have tossed the Bobcats enough in the time just now.

It can only be said that the timing of Jackson's presence was coincidental, and if Hua had defended him, he would have been sent to the hospital. Huaben's current defensive aggression is full of surnames, Maddie made two feints and didn't shake him off, and planned to break through, but Huaben gave him a kick and almost forced him to walk.

After the Olympics, Wajburn absorbed the skills of physical athletes and track and field athletes to control their bodies, and became better at balance and flexibility, so that he directly extended his defensive range from the box to the whole court. Except for the speed player like AI, he can now defend anyone, and Maddie's outside lineman, who is top in skill and physicality, is no exception, because now his physical fitness and defensive skills are the best of the best.

Maddie is accustomed to an invincible attacking rhythm, and is extremely uncomfortable in the face of Wabe's pressing defense, and misses two consecutive attacks after coming on the court, one popping out of the frame and the other simply eating Wabe's hat.

The boss can't open it here, let alone the others. Jackson was also half a musket, but everyone on the court knew he and Maddie were at odds. The Rockets' point guards are now aggressively moving towards Maddy, so he doesn't have many catch-up opportunities.

The Bobcats played defensive counterattacks one after another, and the score was directly chased back after Huaben came on the court.

Van Gundy angrily jumped and scolded, there was no way, he had to send Yao Ming on the court in advance: "Tracy will attract their No. 1 (Huaben), Yao, you go to the low post, where the hoop is closer, farther away from that No. 1, you come to attack." ”

Maddie was cruising around the three-point line, and Huaben didn't dare to take him lightly and kept following him. Yao Ming got the opportunity and pressed Oku to step back and make a jumper, scoring two points as soon as he got on the court.

Wabeen held the ball outside the three-point line, he grabbed the ball with one hand and lifted it high, and Maddie didn't shake it, staring at him deadly. Unless he uses hard work, it will be almost impossible for Hua Ben to break through Maddie, who is the best defensive player on the outside, but he has always been lazy and has not been able to meet opponents worthy of his seriousness.

Capono deftly ran out of space with the help of Oku's cover, Huaben passed the ball, and Capono was unceremonious, receiving the ball and shooting.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the catch-and-shoot skills of Hamilton and Wabben, and he was further away from Miller, and the ball bounced off the rebound.

Yao Ming got stuck and jumped up and took off the rebound with both hands, he raised it in his lower abdomen to pass the ball, Hua Ben slapped it hard and broke the ball directly: this is Yao Ming's shortcoming, he can't protect the ball well, which is also nicknamed the butter hand by those who oppose him.

The ball was cut off, Hua Ben grabbed the spot and jumped up, his slender body was as straight as a steel gun, he grabbed the ball with one hand, his arm roared and spun in a circle, and smashed the ball into the hoop with the momentum of pulling out the mountain!

The Toyota Center booed like thunder, and Huaben was so arrogant after his return that the Rockets fans felt embarrassed:

"Deacon Beygbe covers him! Give him color and see! ”

"Tracy, Yao Ming, come on, come on, come on!"

"Kick the Charlottes in the ass and get them back to the country and eat shit!"

The roar of the fans made the Rockets players ashamed to the extreme, Maddie had just arrived in Houston, holding his breath to show his invincibility, Yao Ming shouted to Ward when he served: "Charlie, you know where I will appear, I will give the ball later, understand?!" ”

Ward nodded, then lowered his head and began to concentrate on Allen's defense, trying to get the ball through the half.

Maddie started charging after half court and rushed directly to the basket, Huaben was not to be outdone, and his speed was no worse than Maddie! Yao Ming and Mutombo stood still on the inside, Maddie rushed directly at the two, and Huaben followed, but Maddie managed to run out between the two, but he was locked.

Ward panicked on the ball to Maddy, and Oku adjusted his pace to push him off the line. Maddie got the ball and turned around as if she was going to run outside, Oku sighed when she saw this, but she didn't know that it was just a feint, Maddie stepped out and bypassed Oku and rushed to the basket, jumped up diagonally from behind the rebound, bent the bow and shot arrows, stared up at the hoop, glided out of the bottom line, and came to a small one-armed windmill.

This dunk is impeccable in terms of strength, body stretch and technique, and the always restrained Maddie couldn't help but roar after landing, beating his chest with a fist with his right hand: he was really aggrieved enough in this game.

Oku picked up the ball and threw it to Iguodala and slyly took advantage of the Rockets' celebrations to make a quick serve.

Iguodala raced forward at a high speed, and Maddie chased after him, ignoring the celebrations. Jackson rushed to the front, he was from beyond the three-point line, so he stepped back in time.

In the face of Jackson, Iguodala made a turn and wanted to get rid of him, but Jackson took two steps back, still facing Iguodala, this is the wisdom of the old bird, if Iguodala continues to sprint, he can't get rid of Jackson, if you want to prepare a dunk, the other party has enough time to destroy the attack.

But Iguodala had a third option, as he ran into the three-second zone and threw the ball up and twisted himself to the wing.

It wasn't just Maddie and Ward who caught up, Wabbon was faster, right behind Iguodala and Jackson.

The ball flew vertically, and Wamoto soared into the air with a roar, his legs slightly bent and spread at the same time, and he used his outstanding bounce to send himself high into the air, and grasped the ball steadily with one hand. Jackson looked at him in horror, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he let him ride on him!

With his legs between Jackson's shoulders, Huaben's strong waist and abdomen thrust forward, took a deep breath and gathered all his strength on his arms and palms, stretched forward vigorously, his eyes were almost level with the hoop, and he struggled to dunk the thunderous ball into the orange plastic frame!

Naked revenge!
