(Double commuter pass for ticket ticket.) ）

The Rockets' all-outside lineup looks ridiculous, but the actual effect is surprisingly good.

The near-exaggerated mobility allows players to easily find opportunities to cut to the basket with cross-running or off-ball covers, and in the transition between offense and defense, there is a considerable probability of direct formation of a fast break.

And with such a short lineup that people imagined, the situation that the inside line would definitely be blown up on the field did not happen at all.

After all, Pelicans center Jason. Smith himself is not a player with the ability to attack with the ball inside, and even if he has a height advantage under the basket, he can't use his advantage to hold the ball and play Wang Chao.

What's even more surprising is that the offense doesn't work, in terms of rebounding, Smith doesn't have any advantage in the face of Wang Chao, not only that, but in a few short rounds, he was even stuck by Wang Chao one step ahead of time and grabbed the offensive rebound.

Don't underestimate Wang Chao's rebounding ability.

Recognized as the most rebounding player in league history, Dennis Brown. Rodman, but just a player with a height of 2.01 meters and a weight of 95 kilograms, is inferior to Wang Chao, who is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 105 kilograms.

However, in that era when center was supreme, Rodman could grab an average of 18.7 rebounds per game in the face of a group of interior players who were taller, heavier and stronger than him, mainly relying on several points.

First, a keen sense of smell and judgment in rebounding.

Second, excellent bounce and explosiveness.

Third, the attitude of not being afraid of physical confrontation, never admitting defeat and actively fighting for every ball.

Wang Chao's basic ability value has no problem at all, with a height of 2.06 meters and an arm span of 2.18 meters, while his static talent is outstanding, his jumping ability value is as high as 94, and his explosive power is currently 92 high.

In terms of rebounding ability, Wang Chao's current defensive rebounding ability value has also reached 95, and his ability to judge the rebounding point is extremely outstanding, of course, the value of 95 is quite high, and it is obviously far from enough to be compared with Rodman, the latter, as a well-known rebounding maniac in the league, must have reached a full value of 99 in both defensive rebounding and offensive rebounding.

It's just that Wang Chao doesn't feel that his rebounding ability is necessarily worse than Rodman's, although there is a slight gap in the basic value, but the lack of ability can be made up for with talent.

Rebounding idiot, this talent name that Wang Chao is usually reluctant to mention, but the effect is real.

Last season, Wang Chao was able to achieve an average triple-double per game, and this talent skill played a crucial role, after all, Wang Chao was not like Westbrook when he averaged a triple-double per game, asking his teammates to help him grab rebounds, and even many times as the fastest player in fast break, he often had to rush to the front, and there were not many opportunities to grab defensive rebounds.

But with the blessing of the talent of the rebounding maniac, Wang Chao's rebounding sense of smell is astonishingly keen, and he can often suddenly kill when the opponent doesn't expect it, and take the rebound into the bag.

Although Wang Chao averaged 10.6 rebounds per game last season, he barely ranked in the top 10 rebounding list, but his offensive rebounds were 3.9, which is even higher than the offensive rebounds of rebounding king Howard, and second only to Tyson Chandler, who averaged 4.1 offensive rebounds per game in the league.

In the small-ball lineup, Wang Chao plays a cameo role as a center, and his most important responsibility is to protect his own restricted area, especially defensive rebounding.

With a defensive rebounding ability value of 95 and the blessing of rebounding maniacs, Wang Chao is fully confident that he will be with those well-known rebounding kings in the league, such as the next new season, there is a high probability that Jordan and Andre Jr. will show strong rebounding ability like the original history. Drummond.

These two people averaged 13+ rebounds per game in the 13-14 season, Jordan Jr. was slightly better and won the rebounding king honor by a narrow margin, although Drummond lost the competition for the rebounding king, but he could grab 5.4 offensive rebounds per game throughout the regular season, 1.4 more than Jordan Jr., so it was not a loss.

Wang Chao felt that even if he faced these two guys, he would not lose in rebounding.

Of course, even if Green appears on the court as the position of Green in the small-ball lineup, Wang Chao can't really focus all his energy on defense and rebounding, with Jordan's strength, it would be too wasteful to run to do Rodman's job.

At present, the Rockets' small-ball lineup is only a test period, because Wang Chao knows the small-ball style and core of the Warriors in the future, so let him serve as a more important part of this set of tactics, and after other players gradually adapt, they can make some adjustments according to the characteristics of the Rockets, and that will be after Da Yao and Garnett completely retreat to the second line.

The Rockets' small-ball lineup appeared for 5 minutes, giving the Pelicans no way to play at all, unable to attack inside, and the outside defense was still very solid, the result was that in these 5 minutes, the Rockets' offensive rhythm was exaggerated, scoring 15 points, while the Pelicans only scored 4 points.

Unfortunately, this is a preseason game, and after the Rockets played the opening five minutes, they directly came with a set of five up and five down, replaced all the starters, and then led by Da Yao and Garnett The Rockets' second team continued to play on the court.

And then there was no then.

Da Yao just played casually, and the Pelicans, who couldn't fight his offense at all, collapsed on the inside, and by the end of the first quarter, the difference was close to 20 points.

The rest of the game was not much suspense or fun.

The substitutes of both teams played hotly on the field, while the main players on the bench sat and watched the excitement.

This situation is a normal thing in the preseason, usually the core of the team can play an average of more than 20 minutes per game in the preseason, which is considered to be a return to the support of the fans, and the preseason games are not included in the record at all, and there are only two purposes for holding it, the first is to help the team quickly get back to the game after a long vacation, and the second is to take this opportunity to buy tickets to make money, including some international preseason games, in order to expand the influence of the NBA and increase peripheral revenue.

Two of the Rockets' eight preseason games have been played in China, on Oct. 15 in the capital and Oct. 18 against the Lakers.

It must be admitted that the alliance understands the traffic password.

Although the Lakers are expected to be completely in the new season, Howard defected to the Spurs, Nash chose to retire, Kobe Bryant's injury is expected to return in at least December, and there is only one Paul left in the team. Gasol, the new season's record can not be at the bottom of the league to steal the fun.

But the Lakers managed to get Jeremy Lin in the summer, even if Jeremy Lin's arrival did not help the Lakers' current situation, but at least in China, the majority of fans still ate this set.

Unlike the original history, without the disgusting poison contract provided by Mogou, Jeremy Lin finally chose to stay with the Knicks, with a contract of 15 million for 3 years.

But Jeremy Lin in the Knicks also faced the same problems as the original history.

The magic of Lin Madness is a short-lived miracle after all, and after the magic, Jeremy Lin's strength as a point guard is there, and his strength is enough to be the starting point guard of any team, but that's about it.

Jeremy Lin averaged 12.7 points and 4.6 assists per game for the Knicks last season, and his performance cannot be said to be bad, but it is not particularly good.

Especially in the middle and late stages of the season, the conflict between Jeremy Lin and Anthony began to sharpen.

Jeremy Lin's style of play doomed him to need the ball to make a difference.

But the Knicks' boss is Anthony.

In the 11-12 season, Jeremy Lin has been out of the limelight, making him, the nominal core leader of the Knicks, overshadowed, and although Anthony didn't say anything, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Last season, Jeremy Lin's competitive form declined, and Anthony also ushered in the peak of his career, averaging 28.8 points per game is the second highest score of his career, although it is still a little worse than Wang Chao and Durant, but it is enough to satisfy him.

Although Anthony's style of play is not as highly concentrated as James, a large number of offensive points come from him who holds the ball in the low post, and his requirements for ball possession in the game are not small, which naturally has a slight conflict with Jeremy Lin on the ball, and Anthony is unhappy with Jeremy Lin.

As a result, this summer, the Knicks traded Jeremy Lin to the Lakers, even if it was only for a few small additions.

That's why the league arranged for the Rockets vs Lakers to play preseason games in China's two biggest cities.

The Rockets' Da Yao and Wang Chao are definitely the most well-known and popular sports stars in China, although Jeremy Lin is not Chinese, but his Chinese-American identity and the rise of grassroots miracles have also made him have many fans in China.

Being able to see Wang Chao and Da Yao vs Jeremy Lin with their own eyes, naturally a large number of fans flocked to it, and it seemed to the league that it was all white money!

The timing and place were right, and the results were a matter of course, and both games were very successful, with a huge number of fans coming to the scene and enthusiastic, both in the capital and in the magic capital.

Wang Chao and Da Yao played more than 25 minutes in both games, which were the two longest games in the preseason.

In eight preseason games, the Rockets have 6 wins and 2 losses, and the team's record has not affected the league's judgment of the Rockets' strength in the new season.

As the regular season approaches, ESPN has announced its power rankings for the new season as usual.

Defending champion Houston Rockets are undoubtedly at the top of the power rankings, although there was no substantial recruitment work in the summer, and even the team rejected some veterans' hopes of joining the thigh-hugging championship, but even with the Rockets' original championship-winning lineup, it is enough to reach the strongest throne in the league.

In the new season, Da Yao and Garnett are one year older, but at the same time, a group of young players on the Rockets have also grown up a year old and become more and more sophisticated.

In the preseason stage, it can be seen that the starting Leonard and Butler are more capable than last season, and can even host the ball on their own, rather than simply relying on Wang Chao's passing assists.

In second place in the power rankings is naturally the biggest loser last season, the runner-up Miami Heat.

The Heat were ruthlessly swept 4:0 by the Rockets in the finals, losing and losing, which also led to the Heat's crazy addition of center players in the summer, signing Oden and Kenyon one after another. Martin and many other interior players are aimed at targeting the Rockets' invincible interior twin tower combination.

But no matter how hard they sign, the salary of the Big Three is destined to the strength of the team's recruitment, and the only thing they can sign is this kind of base salary players who have their own problems, and then expect their "problems" to recover immediately and regain the second spring of their careers.

Although they have not done a good job in recruitment, as long as the Heat Big Three are present, they will always be one of the favorites to win the championship, after all, even in 2014, the average age of the Big Three is only 30 years old, and they are still at the peak of an athlete's career.

The Rockets and Heat are ranked first and second in the power rankings, and the next power rankings are the Spurs with Howard, the Thunder with Durant and Westbrook, the Clippers around Paul and Griffin and a team of outstanding role players, the Grizzlies with the black and white twin towers, and then the Golden State Warriors who have begun to emerge and get Iguodala from the Nuggets, with a considerable lineup.

In the 2013-14 season, the highlights of this new season were generally good.

Then on October 30th, the NBA regular season officially begins!
