The Clippers are on a 22-game winning streak and are eleven away from the league's all-time record of 33 straight wins, but for now they need to consider standing in second place rather than tying with the Houston Rockets, and the league has given the Los Angeles Clippers that opportunity.

Leaving Chicago, the Clippers flew straight to the Houston Rockets, who were about to embark on their own horror tour in the Southwest Division, and the first stop was the Houston Rockets, the makers of their last 22-game winning streak.

Stepping on the opponent to throw the opponent away from the second place is the idea of all Clippers, but the Houston people are obviously not so easy to deal with, and the focus of this game is far more than who will be the second team in the winning streak, but also the Yao Shark battle.

From the first day that Yao Ming stepped into the league, the Yao Shark battle is the focus of people's expectations, the little giant has been far from being defeated to slowly overtaking a little bit of progress, even if O'Neill is approaching the end of his career, but every Yao Shark battle is the focus of fans' expectations.

Maddie, who ended his seven-year first-round body last season, is still strong in the new season, and it seems that the injury has completely left him, Yao Ming is also a stable contribution of 20+10, and the blindfolding method of defensive expert Sean Battier is becoming more and more exquisite, coupled with excellent role players, the Rockets in the new season still maintain a strong competitiveness, and they are currently ranking fourth in the West with a 13-5 record.

"Brother Yao, we meet again, what kind of dishes will you treat me tonight?" Gu Fei stretched out his fist and slapped Yao Ming's chest.

"You guy blackmails me every time, you are a rich man, people like you are the customers that my store focuses on attracting instead of eating and drinking for nothing every time, and you can eat it very well, just like a pig."

"You're too stingy, pick and choose." Gu Fei complained.

When the players on both sides finished greeting each other, the battle of the spotlight was imminent.

Los Angeles Clippers starters: center, Tyson Chandler; power forward, Rasheed Wallace; small forward, Ron Artest; Scoring guard, Gu Fei; Organizing defender, Andre Miller.

Houston Rockets' starters: center, Yao Ming; power forward, Luis Scola; small forward, Sean Battier; Shooting guard, Tracy McGrady; Playing Guard, Aaron Brooks.

With a whistle, the referee threw the ball into the air, and Yao Ming's bounce height was nothing compared to Tyson Chandler, who easily flicked the ball to Andre Miller, who quickly advanced to the three-point line.

Andre Miller's strong body is in stark contrast to Aaron Brooks' thin body, and Mike Dunleavy has already figured out how to deal with the Rockets before this game, especially on the offensive end, and has come up with seven ways to dismantle the Rockets.

The first is now Andre Miller against Boo.

Miller turned his back to Brooks, and although Brooks held his chest and tried to stop Miller's back, it was in vain, and Miller's steady dribbling shattered Brooks' idea of breaking the ball.

After a hit, Miller shook off Brooks and then made a pull-up jump shot.

Swish!

The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded.

"Aaron's thin body makes me feel a little distressed." Van Gundy said as he looked at Brooks at the top of the arc.

"Yes, Andre is physically good enough to be at the front of the guard position, and Aaron can't change the reality of his thinness no matter how hard he tries, for the Rockets, Aaron is a weapon on the offensive end, but the defensive end is also a hole." Miller gave his opinion.

Switching offense and defense, today's Rockets rely on Yao Mai's MM combination offense as five years ago.

Adelman's tactical system can't change this, which is the key to the success of the rocket's launch, but Adelman is far luckier than Van Baldman, because he has a healthy Yao Mai and Van Gundy only has a healthy Yao Mai and is the most immature season, so whenever Van Gundy explains the Rockets game, he always has infinite resentment, such as now.

"Rick should make good use of Yao Ming and Tracy, they are the top presence in their respective positions, they can make their teammates better, and to be honest I don't see Rick integrate his Princeton into Houston, it's just the same old thing."

"Jeff, are you jealous?" Rejay Miller quipped.

Maddie caught Brooks' pass with her back to Artest, and her still strong calves soon appeared in Artest's field of vision.

Without any superfluous movements, one rolled over and leaned out of his hand, and his straight calves were still so sexy.

As if God didn't want to spoil such an aesthetic goal, the basketball rolled into the basket after sliding around the basket.

2:2, both teams played the first attack in the opening game.

'Tracy is still in great form, it's hard to believe it's Tracy, I thought he couldn't do without injuries throughout his career, I didn't expect it to be so good in two seasons, playing more than 80 games in two consecutive seasons, it's a miracle. Rejay Miller said with emotion that as a professional athlete, you don't want injuries to haunt you.

"I heard that Alexander fired the original team of doctors of Cruise and chose a new team team of doctors, damn it, why didn't I get such treatment back then." Van Gundy said angrily that he still can't forget the memory of the Rockets suffering a large number of injuries every year.

Attacking again, the basketball was handed over to Gu Fei, looking at Battier who was defending himself, Gu Fei was not surprised at all, and Battier's defensive characteristics Gu Fei also knew it, and he also believed that Battier also knew his offensive characteristics.

Gu Fei did not choose to play alone, but signaled to Rashid Wallace to cover.

With Wallace's cover, Gu Fei shook off Battier's defense, but Gu Fei did not rush to the end but returned to the pistol and passed the ball to Wallace, because Battier was blocked by Wallace, he had to face a misplaced defense at the moment, but Wallace's height of nearly seven feet is undoubtedly a huge advantage for Battier, Wallace didn't care too much about Battier's defense, and the whole person exited the three-point line and took a step.

The basketball made a perfect arc over the Toyota Center and drilled into the basket.

"Rashid's three-point ability has improved so fast, he was still playing iron last season, and this season he has become the league's highest-shooting three-point shooter." Van Gundy said, lowered his head and began to look for information, "A 42.4 three-point shooting percentage, averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game for the Clippers, is really an efficient number." ”

"If you have a group of teammates with strong three-point ability, especially teammates like Gu, I can guarantee that as long as you work hard, your three-point can be done very quickly." Miller said with a smile.

"You're saying Andre didn't work hard enough, so his three-point shooting has been terrible?" Van Gundy's humor made fans in front of the TV smile.

Mike Dunleavy nodded in satisfaction, this was his second offensive method for the Rockets, using a heavy turret like Wallace to form an outside misalignment opportunity.

Switching offense and defense, this time Brooks did not hand the ball to Maddie but directly to Yao Ming, and Chandler had no time to go around the front and could only use his lower plate to resist Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was not in a hurry to attack, and the reality glanced at the defenders around his body, and then began to play alone, and after squeezing two steps in a row, he directly turned over and made a jumper.

Tyson Chandler couldn't do anything about such a shot, and could only watch as the basketball jumped over his fingers and flew to the basket.

"With such a body shape and such a great feel, Yao is unique."

The Clippers' counterattack quickly unfolded, Gu Fei did not wait for Miller to pass the ball but went up to catch the ball, and accelerated directly while Battier was not firmly established, and when Maddy made up the defense, Gu Fei made a back pass, and the basketball flew directly to Artest in the empty corner of the corner.

Catching the ball and shooting, all Atai needs to do is as simple as that.

And so came the Clippers' second three-pointer.

At 8:4, the Clippers made three consecutive offenses to make Adelman on the court very angry, "Keep an eye on him, rotate, you are not a stake, move and move." ”

Using Gu Fei's containment to give Artai a chance to make a shot under Maddie's defense is Dunleavy's third method.

The game continued, and Clippers fans found that today's Gu Fei did not take the initiative to attack in the first quarter but acted as a responder, and most of the Clippers' offensive possession was handed over to Miller and Wallace and Artest, at this time there were four minutes before the end of the first quarter Gu Fei had already sent 6 assists, and such an assist data is also a good data for an excellent organizational guard.

At this time, the game entered a pause, the two sides rotated the substitute lineup, and the appearance of the big shark O'Neal made the fans in front of the TV extremely excited, and they looked forward to the same Yao shark duel again. (To be continued.) )
