It seems that the "offensive and defensive" Rockets won their first home victory, which made the whole Rockets team very excited, "In the NBA, a victory is a victory, and it feels good to win" In an interview with CCTV, Gao Dazhuang also said.

However, the Rockets did not have time to celebrate, as they will soon face the challenge of defending champion Miami Heat at home, a team led by the NBA's No. 1 - "Little Emperor" James.

The Heat must be an opponent that the Rockets are unwilling to meet, and all the media before the game unanimously looked down on the Rockets.

Because in last season's game with the Heat, the Rockets' backcourt starting duo Harden and Jeremy Lin were both defeated by the Heat.

Jeremy Lin, who was in the limelight in New York last season, encountered the Heat led by the Big Three, and the Heat had already said before the game that they would not give Jeremy Lin a chance and would suppress his scoring in single digits.

As a result, in the face of the Heat's extremely oppressive defense, Jeremy Lin only made 1 of 11 shots, barely scored 8 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals through free throws, but had 8 turnovers.

In the finals last season, Harden did not perform too well against the Heat, and in the first game and the third and fourth games, he scored in single digits, with a total of 6 of 26 shots in the three games, 2 of 11 three-point shots, 22 points and 7 turnovers.

Before this game, the media in Houston also made a corresponding tactical analysis, why were Jeremy Lin and Harden blocked by the Heat?

Quite simply, both Harden and Jeremy Lin play are based on pick-and-roll, and the Heat happen to be the best defensive pick-and-roll team in the league.

Last season, the Heat were second-best in the league in pick-and-roll ball-carriers, allowing opponents just 0.711 points per game and holding opponents to 39.6 percent shooting, while the pick-and-roll handlers had a staggering 25.5 percent turnover rate and a 34.5 percent scoring rate against the Heat's defense.

Due to the presence of Wade and James, the Heat's outside defense has always emphasized the "sense of press", and their high-intensity pressing defense and fast rotation make the opponent's offensive players feel suffocated.

In terms of defensive pick-and-roll, because of the main small lineup, Chris Bosh and LeBron James can easily play the sweeper between the baseline and the three-point line, saving the defense and quickly shrinking to the inside.

Last season, when Jeremy Lin and Harden executed the pick-and-roll, the Heat would let the big man on the inside save hard-delayed block most of the time, and the big man formed a trap with the guard, not giving the blocker the ball carrier space to break through, and on the weak side they also had players such as Battier and LeBron waiting for opportunities to steal passes.

This is the reason why Harden and Jeremy Lin have fewer pick-and-rolls and more turnovers when they meet the Heat.

And another important reason why all the media are looking down on the Rockets is that the Rockets' "Tanhua Show" who has played well this season is tall and strong, and he is also a player who is very good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and he will face his first real test in the NBA today.

The arrival of the Miami Heat made the Toyota Center very popular, and after a strong player entry and a short warm-up activity, the starters from both sides began to enter.

Despite being on the home court of the Rockets, LeBron James was still the brightest star of the game, only to see the "Emperor" calmly come to the technical table, slowly pour magnesium powder into the palm of his hand, and then raise his arms to make a monarch over the world, and the iconic opening action of the "Emperor" was staged in the Toyota Center Arena.

Despite being an enemy opponent, "The Emperor" James' opening move won a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

What is the first person in the league? That's it!

"I'm" Gao Dazhuang, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, couldn't help but exclaim, but what Gao Dazhuang exclaimed was not James's opening show, but the value displayed in his mobile phone "Basketball Miracle" game: 5011!

Gao Dazhuang, who saw the NBA's "first person" for the first time, couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone to scan James, so as to see this anti-heaven value, Gao Dazhuang can be sure that only James in the entire league can exceed 5000 real-time combat power.

"Oh" At this time, the exclamation of the fans in the audience brought Gao Dazhuang's attention back to the court, through the slow-motion replay, Gao Dazhuang saw James suddenly accelerate, get rid of Parsons' defense, instantly hit the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk before Asik made up the defense.

"The perfect combination of strength and speed, it's too strong," the tall man pouted in admiration.

Jeremy Lin, the point guard on the court of the "brushing" Rockets, made a mistake and was intercepted by Wade from the side, and Wade scored a layup directly after the steal.

A minute later, Heat power forward Bosh turned around and hit a jumper after receiving a pass from a teammate on the wing.

In the face of the Heat, whose attack power is first-class, the Rockets' defense can't play much of a role, so they have to set up a formation to play against the Heat.

"When" Harden missed a step-back jumper under Wade's defense, the Heat instantly counterattacked, and James and Wade teamed up to hit the Rockets' hinterland.

Although the Rockets' Harden, Jeremy Lin and Parsons returned quickly, they still couldn't stop the high-speed rush James, not only was James made a layup, but Parsons also accompanied a needless foul.

"Brush" with James's free throw, 9:0, just at the beginning of the Heat showed the strength of the league's number one team, and caught the Rockets off guard.

In the fourth minute of the game, the Rockets won a foul under the basket by Asik, and made one of two free throws to open the deadlock for the Rockets.

After the Finals, this is the first time Harden has encountered the Heat, although in the Finals, Harden's performance was mediocre and did not cause much trouble to the Heat, but now Harden can be said to be the master of the first team, no longer the sixth man of the team.

Harden, who has just signed a max contract, is clearly in dire need of proving himself: Harden made a signature serpentine break, broke through Wade's defense, cleverly avoided Bosh's block under the basket, and made a layup.

"Oh" Harden's goal immediately won a burst of cheers from the fans in the arena, but it was precisely because of Harden's goal that the Heat frantically counterattacked.

At 20:5, the game played 7 minutes, and the Heat had already taken a 15-point lead, while the Rockets, who were playing at home, only got a pitiful 5 points.

"The Rockets asked for substitutions" fell behind by a big score at the beginning, and the Rockets assistant coach Sampson waved his hand and came on the court tall and strong, replacing the starting small forward Parsons.

In this way, the tall and strong who came off the bench will directly face the first person in the league, "Little Emperor" James.

"We're not going to be in too much of a hurry, he's still a rookie," Bickerstaff, another assistant coach for the Rockets, whispered to Sampson.

"He's not like the others, look at the way he looks," Sampson said, waving his hand.

Tall and strong walked up to James, looking at the NBA's number one star up close, and he could feel the tremendous energy in his clear muscle lines.

"Hey, China" James smiled and greeted Gao Dazhuang, who was clearly well known to James as one of the best rookies this year.

"Hey, you're my idol" Gao Dazhuang greeted with a little excitement, but his hand had already begun to take the initiative to stick to James, although he was facing a difficult defensive task, but Gao Dazhuang was very excited in his heart.

"Oh?" James responded with a smile, but at this time, James took advantage of the tall and strong to not pay attention, and rushed into the inside line of the rocket team with an arrow step.

And the basketball also happened to pass to James at this time, and James took a step after receiving the ball and chose to go directly to the basket.

Although "Drink" is nearly half a body behind James, the tall and strong still relies on his excellent bounce power, attacking from the back of James, ready to block James' layup at any time.

"Peng" can be a sideways James in the air, his strong and broad shoulders directly open the tall and strong just close to his body, and then gently pick it with his hand.

"Brush" James scored again, 22:5

"So strong!" Although it was expected, the first time I directly felt James's strength still shocked Tall and Strong, the contradiction between strength and flexibility does not seem to exist in James, "Being able to become the top player in the league is really talented."

"It's a great honor to be your idol, welcome to the NBA, Chinese," James said as he passed by the tall man after the goal.

At this time, Jeremy Lin distributed the ball to the tall man on the wing, and the tall man received the ball and leaned against James, who was defending behind him, and whispered: "I have always had a question in my heart that I want to ask you"

"Oh? What is it? James asked, somewhat surprised.

"Who is the real first person in the league, you or Kobe?" At this time, the tall and strong stepped back and faced James head-on, and said.

"He can't stop me, it's that simple," James was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.
