Chapter 256: The Third and the Ninth

I have to say that Gao Dazhuang's excellent performance in the preseason of the Rockets still won the respect of his teammates, and in the NBA, a place where strength is respected, the strong have the right to speak.

"Bang" Rockets point guard Douglas did not hesitate to pass the ball to the tall man who was asking for the ball.

The tall stout who received a pass from his teammates slowly approached the defender - Pistons guard Starkey with continuous cross-steps.

Maybe he was swept away by the breakthrough of the "rookie" Gao Dazhuang, this time at the moment when Gao Dazhuang just approached Starkey, Starkey suddenly burst out and pounced on him to reach out for a steal.

But Starkey made a mistake again, he never thought that the Chinese Tall and Strong, whose ball control skills were among the best in the entire league.

With a "cluster", Starkey reached out and copied forward, but nothing was touched, and the basketball disappeared like a phantom.

Kindness? The moment Starkey didn't catch the basketball, he lost his tall and strong shadow in his sight.

The tall and strong changed direction and broke through the Pistons' defense again.

Just as Gao Dazhuang quickly inserted into the Pistons' interior line, Drummond, the No. 9 rookie in this year's draft, once again crossed in front of Gao Dazhuang, and his nearly 2.30 meters arm span was fully extended, like a big net waiting for its prey.

"Squeak" suddenly sprinted forward at high speed, and his tall and strong body made a sharp stop, and he threw a backward jumper two meters away from Drummond.

At this time, Drummond also jumped forward at the same time, reaching for the block, but the ball was tall and strong and obviously increased the shooting arc, and despite Drummond's wide defensive range, the tall and strong shot still passed through his defense zone smoothly.

"When" may have been because Tall and Strong thought too much about Drummond's defense, and Tall Strong's pull-up jumper finally smashed into the front of the basket and bounced out of the basket.

"Smack" Drummond jumped high and took the rebound.

"What about the third in line? We're on the same running line now," Drummond, who grabbed the rebound, said provocatively with a provocative look at the tall man.

"Oh" The Pistons home fans cheered, Drummond played less than 10 minutes, but he had already grabbed 10 rebounds, and the Pistons are only now convinced that they have indeed picked up the "treasure".

So far in this game, Drummond, as the No. 9 rookie, has obviously played better than the tall and strong "Tanhua Show", although Drummond has not yet scored, his talent on the defensive end has been revealed.

"Defender - Drummond" The live DJ at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena hissed and cheered throughout the arena.

The Pistons then launched another counterattack, and the "Little Prince" Prince jumped from the Five Tigers lineup when the Pistons won the championship in 2004.

At 56:61, the margin was extended to five points by the Pistons.

The Rockets attacked, Coach McHale stood on the sidelines with a black face and watched the situation on the court, Harden sat lazily on the bench and drank water leisurely, and other Rockets players, especially new players, were engrossed in the situation on the court.

"Hey" Just when point guard Douglas just advanced the ball to the front court, Gao Dazhuang signaled Douglas to ask for the ball again.

"Huh?" To be honest, after Gao Dazhuang failed to attack the inside twice, Douglas was also a little hesitant to pass the ball to Gao Dazhuang, not to mention that at this time, Rockets center Asik also asked for the ball under the basket, but Asik's position was not good.

"Here" just when Douglas hesitated, Rockets power forward Patterson appeared on Douglas's wing, and Douglas immediately passed the ball to Patterson without any hesitation.

To Douglas's surprise, the ball passed almost exclusively in Patterson's hands and was immediately transferred to the tall man at the top of the three-point arc.

"Pop" Tall Zhuang received Patterson's pass, and before he could say thank you, he saw Patterson running towards Tall and Strong, and made a covering gesture with his hand on his chest.

Pick-and-roll!

The tall man instantly understood Patterson's intentions, and after receiving the ball, he broke through from the side of Starkey with one step.

"Pon" Starkey was just about to defend himself when he was stopped by Patterson's muscular body.

Tall and strong with the help of teammates to cover, get rid of the defense, quickly insert the inside, I don't know if it is deliberately aimed at or what the reason, Drummond has always focused on the defensive focus on the tall and strong, just when the tall and strong hit the inside of the Pistons, the center of gravity was just raised and ready to shoot, Drummond jumped high again, stretched out his big arms and was ready to give Gao Dazhuang a big hat at any time.

"Not good" But when Drummond jumped up completely, he found that he was tall and strong and suddenly short, feint!

After the tall and strong deceived Drummond with a false dangling, he immediately stepped sideways and cut into the inside line to pick up the basket with one hand, and Drummond, who was already in the air, couldn't reach it no matter how long his arm span was.

"Brush", the very crisp sound of the basketball passing through the net, the tall and strong scored the first point of his NBA career with a beautiful breakthrough layup.

58:61

"Pretty" Patterson, the only best friend of the Rockets, immediately rushed up and hugged Tall and Strong, roaring angrily.

"Thanks, buddy" for Patterson's "pull out the sword", Gao Da Zhuang is sincerely grateful, this American born in Washington, D.C., has given Gao Da Zhuang great help in all aspects.

"Excuse me, I'm back in Houston and invite me to your house to eat Chinese food" Patterson clearly has a strong interest in Oriental food.

"But I don't like men," said the tall man who was in a good mood after the goal.

"Fuck off"......

The Pistons immediately launched a counterattack, and Knight pushed the ball to the front court and hoisted it into the hands of Drummond, the team's power forward on the inside.

"Peng", "Peng", "Peng" Drummond relied on his height and arm span to forcibly squeeze Patterson, but fortunately, Patterson's strength was good, and he firmly resisted Drummond and did not let him move forward.

Just as Drummond was about to hook his hand with a false step, there was a "snap", and the tall and strong ghost appeared on Drummond's flank, and cut off the basketball in Drummond's hand with one palm.

"Good" Coach McHale of the Rockets on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud the tall and strong steal.

After breaking Drummond's ball, Gao Dazhuang immediately ran forward with the ball, absorbing and copying the skills of "Hot Sauce" and "Owen", and Gao Dazhuang's ball control was quite fast.

Although Pistons guards Knight and Starkey were close behind him, Knight and Starkey couldn't stop him until Tall and Strong burst into the paint and jumped high.

And the end result is a tall and strong "clang", smashing the ball into the basket with one hand.

60:61

Gao Dazhuang's first dunk in the NBA successfully chased the score to just one point.

The first to congratulate Patterson on the goal was still Patterson.

"Ha, take advantage of the victory to chase" Gao Dazhuang glanced at his own bench in the process of returning to defense, Harden was still sitting on the sidelines with a blank face, but head coach McHale gave Gao Dazhuang a positive look.

The Pistons' offense was once again in vain, and the Rockets followed the retreating opponent with a quick counterattack.

The ball still passed to Gao Dazhuang, but Gao Dazhuang did not choose to attack this time, but after attracting the defensive attention of the opposing two players, he passed the ball to Patterson who was pulled outside and near the free throw line.

Patterson's aim shot near the free-throw line immediately drew Drummond, the Pistons power forward who was sitting inside.

Pistons newcomer Drummond was quite aggressive defensively, but when he took a step forward, Patterson unexpectedly gave up the shot, and instead passed the ball to the tall and strong hand that had been inserted into the opponent's interior line.

"Beautiful" was tall and strong and immediately jumped high after receiving the ball, and a left-handed probe layup picked the ball in.

"Tut" At the moment when the basketball just crossed the net, the referee's whistle also sounded at the same time, and it turned out that when Drummond turned back to defend in order to prevent the tall and strong layup, his long arms inevitably hit the tall and strong ball protector.

Drummond's block not only didn't stop the tall man from scoring, but he also paid a free throw.

"Oh" just walked to the free throw line in the tall and strong, the whole Auburn Palace arena resounded with a burst of boos, and the home team fans behind the free throw line all stood up and waved the plastic sticks in their hands, which is also a feature of the NBA, fans interfere with the free throws of players on the court by creating noise and atmosphere outside the court.

"Whew" tall and strong stood at the free throw line and slapped the ball and then took a deep breath, looked at the basket, bent his knees slightly, lifted the ball to the upper right side of his head, kicked his legs with his lower limbs, and then stretched his body forward and up, and the ball was shot.

At the moment the ball is shot, the tall and strong fingers also have a plucking motion, which makes the ball gently throw from the tip of the index and middle finger line with a slight spin.

"Brush" in the boos of the audience, tall and strong will add penalties steadily, 63:61.

"Hey, man, there's five people between the 3rd and 9th," said the tall man who scored the penalty in a teasing tone to Drummond who passed by.
