In the first half of the first quarter, Hua Ben has been supporting the team, and he has not had many opportunities to take the initiative, mostly passing to Wang Zhizhi, Oku and Iguodala to let the three find their touch.

is on the starting lineup for the first time, and CCTV is also broadcasting live in China, the opponent is an old friend Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi is more excited, and the offensive is very high, so it is easy to make mistakes. The good thing is that the Bobcats are a new army, and Jordan has experienced Kwamei. Brown was no longer so harsh on his subordinates, and Wabeen had good words for his brothers, so he could continue to be there.

Iguodala is a bit of a problem to play, in the face of a defensive expert like Maddy, Iguodala, who has relatively rough offensive skills, is even more at a loss, he doesn't even have a presence on the court, and the most relied on air cutting technology is also greatly reduced because of Yao Ming's presence in the penalty area.

Oku can also bully Second Uncle Huo with his height and footsteps, and he has played a good role on the offensive end. The defensive end is also good, last season against Yao Ming, he was beaten badly, this time after a year of growth, the defense of Yao Ming is also decent, the focus is that he can use the flexible surname to prevent the opponent from receiving the ball.

In the first six minutes, the score of the Bobcats and the Rockets was 16:15, both sides played conservatively, the score rose very slowly, and neither side had an absolute advantage.

Jordan called a timeout, Iguodala was replaced by Martin, and the Bobcats made a very simple adjustment, and Jordan saw that Huaben had been paying attention to the ball, so he sent Martin's quick shot out of the game.

Van Gundy also made changes to the lineup, replacing Howard with Mutombo, who had just arrived this season, with a clear meaning: to help Yao Ming defend Huaben and try to keep Yao Ming physically active, so as to show aggression on the offensive end.

In the first round of last season, taking advantage of Uncle Mu's injury, he took advantage of the fire to rob him, and he made history directly after three 50+20 games. At that time, the media belittled Mutombo, thinking that he was old, and Uncle Mu was probably going to take revenge in this game.

Sure enough, as soon as he got on the field, Uncle Mu winked at Hua Ben and said, "Mr. MVP, you haven't been attacking, are you waiting for me to play?" ”

Hua Ben went up and gave him an enthusiastic fist, laughed and said, "Deacon Bay, is your body okay?" Ha, thank Allah, you don't know, I've been praying for you all the summer, otherwise how could you get better so quickly! ”

Allah has no eyes, isn't this bastard getting into trouble for me so quickly? This is Huaben's true heart.

The Bobcats' possession of the ball, Patin passed the ball to Huaben, with Yao Ming and Mutombo on the inside, Huaben did not go to the penalty area to play strongly: Isn't that looking for death? Two big men with an average height of seven feet five surrounded him, which was almost like a wall around him.

Huaben got the ball outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, raised his hand to make a three-point shot, there was no one in front of him, and the open three-point was still very accurate.

Fan Bald was a little anxious by him cutting three points so easily, and jumped to the court and yelled: "Tracy, according to what I said, you go and watch him when he is outside, if you want to break through, don't worry about it, but you can't tell him to shoot easily." ”

Maddie shrugged, Sura passed the ball to him, Huaben quickly went up and stuck to him, Maddie turned her back to Huaben and protected the ball with both hands, her body shook twice, her body turned and quickly faced Huaben, her left leg took a lightning step, and her left hand slapped the ball at high speed to pass Huaben.

Huaben is not afraid of this kind of breakthrough, his body is too strong, as soon as Maddie turns around, he continues to push forward, and suddenly Maddie loses his position, the pace of the attack is a little staggering, and the breakthrough like water is disrupted like this.

Successfully defended Maddie, Huaben hurriedly went up to press, ready to make persistent efforts to directly make the opponent's mistakes. At this time, Jimmy. Jackson ran out: Martin's defense was really unreliable, and an old bird like Jackson shook him off with a single counterrun.

Waben secretly said that it was not good, Maddie would be terrible if he divided the ball, but he didn't look at the empty Jackson Maddie, he barely stood firm, jumped up decisively, waved his arm in a dashing manner, and sent the ball out.

This is really a picturesque posture, Huaben is happy to watch Maddie's shot, this ball is impossible to hit, and there is a problem with the arc of the basketball shot. Of course, if the shot posture counts, Maddie can still score one point.

Sure enough, the basketball hit the rebound directly and popped up, and Huaben jumped up from the back door, picked the rebound, and gave it to Padding.

After all, Hua Ben asked for the ball on the inside, Yao Ming pushed him from behind, and Mutombo kept an eye on Oku while moving towards the penalty area, looking ready to wrap it up at any time.

Hua Ben held the ball and hit it backwards, and after testing Yao Ming's defensive strength, he stepped forward, this action deceived Yao Ming and Mutombo, both of them thought he was going to play hard, but Hua Ben stepped forward, stuck Yao Ming with one hand, turned around like lightning, and slipped the bottom line to bypass Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's weakness was revealed, his physical reaction couldn't keep up with his brain, and when he turned around, Hua Ben had already scored with a hook hand under the basket.

When defending, Wabbon was still pestering Maddie, and Sula had no chance of hitting Padin with his back, so he passed to Jackson, Martin's defense was not much better than Pattin's, and he was also a sieve-level figure. Fortunately, both of them are offensive maniacs, one is good at organizing and the other is good at projection.

Maddie didn't have the ball in his hand, and the running gap was much bigger, and Huaben couldn't stick to him forever, Maddie and Sura staggered by, and the latter blocked Huaben and gave Madhi an empty space.

"Jimmy, give it to me!" Maddie was anxious when he saw that there was no one to pass the ball in his empty space, usually he was quiet when he played, he didn't need to give instructions, as long as he had a chance, his teammates would give him the ball to play.

Jackson ignored Maddie and made a hasty move before Martin could catch up. The ball was shot a little high and bounced out of the hoop after hitting it.

Okuka Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi stuck Mutombo, the four of them fought for me on the inside, and in the end, Okuk's comprehensive strength was better and he grabbed the ball.

Patin receives the ball, Wajburn and Martin go down early, what do you use to play the Rockets without a fast break? Yao Ming and Mutombo are both slow, they are simply two wooden stakes.

Maddie and Sula defended, but it was Huaben who attacked with the ball in the end, and his strong body took three steps to dunk, and few dared to stop except O'Neal. Maddie and Sura, one is a glass man, and the other is injured, so they can only watch Hua Ben glide and bomb.

Maddie was a little angry at letting Huaben dunk so easily, and he shouted to Jackson: "Jimmy, I was in a good position just now, why didn't you pass the ball?" Otherwise, that's when our score is increasing. ”

Jackson is not a good-tempered person, he was the one who dared to fight with Kidd in the locker room for a female singer, he rolled his eyelids and looked at Maddie, and said slowly: "I had a good position just now, didn't you pass the ball too?" ”

Maddie was choked by his words, and said angrily: "I didn't see it"

"I don't see it either." Jackson said, and then ran to the frontcourt.

Huaben has been paying close attention to the two, and this scene made him a little stunned, what's going on, the Rockets are also infighting? The alliance has been infighting lately, or what's going on?

Patin saw his confusion and explained: "I don't know if my guess is right, Jackson was the team's third-highest scorer last season, averaging 13 points per game, and he has a good relationship with Francis and Mobley, and the ball has always been in the hands of the three of them. This season, the Rockets traded two of his best friends for Maddy, and Maddie's arrival will further strip him of his right to shoot, and I'm afraid he is already disgruntled. ”

This time, Sula transferred the ball directly to Yao Ming, and Oku pushed him in the back, trying to repeat the old trick. Yao Ming has not had the data to start with, and he was a little angry for a while, this time he played hard inside, and he performed a famous trick against Oku, avoiding the double block of Oku and Huaben, and threw the ball into the basket.

Wabeen turned around to face Maddie and squeezed straight inside to break through, Mutombo took over his defense, Wabeen turned into the box, connected with Oku on the inside, attracted Yao Ming to wrap up and passed the ball.

Yao Ming and Mutombo blocked Oku together, and the latter made a feint and passed the ball back to Huaben under the basket. After getting the ball, Huaben jumped quickly, and before Yao Ming and Mutombo could return to defense, a dry land plucked onion and leaped in place, and came to a two-handed slam dunk.

The Rockets attacked again, Maddy sideways against Huaben to ask for the ball from Sula, Van Gundy frowned dissatisfied, in his opinion, Maddie's ball is unreasonable, obviously Huaben's defensive focus is on him, what he should do is to attract Huaben's defense and create opportunities for teammates.

Jackson got rid of Martin again, and he ran to look at Maddie outside the three-point line on the right wing, and didn't speak, just looked straight at the other side. Maddie also glanced at him, but did not pass the ball, and flicked a shot with a right hand to break through Wabeto. Martin caught up and entangled Jackson, making his reversal run go to waste.

Mutombo stood on the sideline of the three-second zone, Maddie rushed over, got rid of Huaben's defense with the help of Uncle Mu, stepped under the basket, put away the ball and jumped up like a rocket, Wang Zhizhi's supplementary defense was no threat to him, against Wang Zhizhi's chest, he pulled down and threw his left hand, and successfully made a pull rod posture to send the ball into the hoop.

Hua Ben was not annoyed by this, but smiled, he saw that there was a problem within Team Rocket. Every team will have a certain amount of turmoil after the departure of the boss, and it seems that the Rockets are not immune.

By the end of the first quarter, the scores were quite high for both sides, but the Bobcats led by only two points at 28-26.

In the first quarter, Maddie showed the strength of the scoring champion, scoring 12 points with a burst shot, and it seems that today is quite offensive **, Huaben's defense is good enough, and he still scored so many points. Yao Ming also performed very well, and he hooked and fouled in the back, scoring 7 points.

Jordan high-fived the players with a relaxed expression, and when Huaben walked over, he patted Huaben's back and said, "Good job, Ben, it seems that their No. 1 is a little anxious, right?" Just like that, let him shoot as much as he can, and I want to see who else on the Rockets can score when he doesn't have the energy. ”

Waeben smiled, Jordan has a better reading ability of the game than Maddie, and may also be a bystander who is a fan of the authorities. His late defensive strategy for Maddie is to press you first, make you uncomfortable to receive the ball, and difficult to break through, but when Maddie has the meaning of passing, he will reduce the defensive pressure, that is, he will not let other players of the Rockets have a chance to find touch on the premise of consuming Maddy's physical strength.
