Players from both teams will return to their respective benches to prepare for the game.

Francis rallied the Rockets players.

The crowd gathered in a circle.

Francis said in a deep voice, "Guys! In today's game, we have to show the boss! We're not going back! The Rockets are still a championship team this season! ”

"The best way to pay tribute to the boss is to give it your all to defeat him!"

“1，2，3！ Rockets! ”

"Fight!"

"Toot!"

The whistle blew and the game officially began.

Da Yao walked into the halfcourt circle and exchanged glances with Kevin Cato, the Rockets' starting center who was competing with him for the jump ball.

After the departure of Da Yao, Kevin Cato returned to the starting position.

Moreover, because Dazhi's offensive ability has been greatly improved.

So Kevin Cato's role on the inside is even more obvious.

He can escort Dazhi very well and carry all the dirty work alone.

And the original Kenny Thomas began to lead the Knicks' bench lineup to attack the city.

This is also the reason why after Da Yao left, the Rockets' interior strength did not drop too much.

Da Yao and Kevin Cato glanced at each other and smiled at each other.

Then he stood in the midfield circle.

As the referee tosses the basketball high in the air.

The competition has officially begun.

Da Yao grabbed the ball in a scramble with Kevin Cato.

The basketball was in the hands of Aaron Iverson.

The Knicks went on offense.

After Allen Iverson dribbled to the front court, he passed the basketball directly to Da Yao, who was in the high position.

Da Yao stood in the high position, facing Kevin Cato's defense, and directly chose to play with his back.

One, two, three.

After pushing Kevin Cato a little distance, he quickly turned.

Raise the basketball in the air with both hands and lean back slightly.

The right foot is gently lifted in front of you naturally.

Flick your right hand lightly.

"Huh!"

Two points scored!

Familiar Golden Rooster Independence.

Even if Kevin Cato often trains against Dazhi on weekdays, it is difficult to prevent such a move.

It may be that on weekdays, when Dazhi is facing Kevin Cato's defense, the shooting rate of the Golden Rooster's independent action will be affected to a certain extent.

But Da Yao won't!

The reason is simple.

Da Yao's height plus arm span is much more terrifying than Dazhi's height plus arm span combined!

So when defending Da Yao, Kevin Cato will find it more difficult.

Turning his head, Team Rocket attacked.

Francis dribbled up front and faced Allen Iverson's defense.

smiled and said softly: "It's a lucky thing to be able to play with the boss." ”

Alan Iverson was stunned when he heard Francis's words.

Then he nodded thoughtfully, and said with a serious expression: "That's right." ”

Allen Iverson still believes that coming to the Knicks with Hanning is the best decision he has made in his career.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Allen Iverson saw that Francis had risen and rushed past him.

Hurriedly turned around and chased back.

However, Francis's speed was not slow, and he directly threw Aaron Iverson away.

Then he went straight to the basket and rushed into the basket under the cover of Dazhi and Kevin Cato.

This was followed by a difficult pull-up layup.

"Huh!"

Scored two points.

When Allen Iverson came to the front court with the ball, he stared at Francis with an unhappy expression.

Said in a deep voice: "You are engaged in a sneak attack?!" Immoral! ”

Francis laughed when he heard this, and said softly: "After following the boss for so long, you don't know what it means to be a soldier and not get tired of cheating, right?!" ”

"Aaron, you should buy two copies of the Art of War and take a look, they will work."

Hearing this, Aaron Iverson didn't have a temper anymore.

After all, when a ball goes in, it goes in.

At most, I can only blame myself for not being focused enough.

However, this one, he must be exchanged!

Dribble the ball left and right with both hands in front of you.

Suddenly, the speed rushed to the right.

Francis hurried to follow.

But in the next second, Allen Iverson made a huge move

ossove

to pull the basketball from your right hand back into your left hand.

This was followed by a sprint directly from the left.

Francis's reaction was rather dissatisfied.

The current Allen Iverson, after coming to the Knicks, has been training extremely hard!

Not to mention anything else, it is to fight and practice with Sun Yue every day.

has made his strength grow a lot.

And Francis is the first time they've played since Allen Iverson arrived with the Knicks.

So the impression of Allen Iverson is still stuck in last season.

Mentally unprepared, he was easily passed by Aaron Iverson.

Rushed all the way to the basket and scored an easy layup with the help of Da Yao and Kurt Thomas.

It can also be seen from here that there is still a certain gap between the internal strength of the two teams.

At the very least, Allen Iverson doesn't need to make a difficult pull-up layup, and an ordinary layup can complete the score.

The two teams went against each other.

For this game, Han Ning did not assign any special tactics to the Knicks.

In his opinion, these players of the Rockets used to be his comrades-in-arms.

Even if he didn't fool around in the past.............

However, there is still a lot of emotion in my heart.

Those messy tactics, Han Ning didn't really want to use them on them.

Besides, with the strength of the Knicks, if you want to win against the Rockets, you don't need to rely on those messy tactics.

Just hit it hard.

As for why Han Ning is so confident............

The reason is simple!

From the moment he built his roster with the Knicks, the Rockets were included in his imaginary rivalry.

How can I restrain the Rocket Team I have built?!

I'm afraid that in the entire alliance, no one knows better than Han Ninggang!

Therefore, the Knicks' lineup is relatively restrained for the Rockets.

It's normal not to have to think about new tactics.

And the Rockets' new head coach this season, Jeff Van Gundy............

Although he is also one of the more famous head coaches in this league.

But he reached the NBA Finals twice, but failed to win the championship.

This makes him incomparable to Han Ning in terms of honor.

So when he just came to the Rockets and didn't even have much say in the team's player trade, his ability to control the Rockets was still very weak.

In other words.

The Rockets players are obedient when they want to.

When you don't want to be obedient, who are you?!

I haven't even won the championship, and you still command us championship players?!

This is one of the reasons why Jeff Van Gundy has hatred for Han Ning in his heart.

I don't have much say in the Rockets' locker room.

Most of the team's tactics were those left over from Han Ning last season.

After all, these tactics have proven their success!
