Legendary basketball manager

Yao Ming stretched his ape arm lightly and easily won the scrum.

The rocket strikes first!

Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball and passed the half court.

It was Steve Nash, the two-time mvp winner, who greeted him.

Nash, born in 1974, is 36 years old this year.

As he grew older, his athletic ability gradually declined.

This is not the most difficult thing to do. The key is that Nash's physical fitness is average, and he becomes more "brittle" as he gets older.

Frequent injuries made it difficult for him to maintain his state, and various statistics also dropped very seriously.

With Nash's decline, the Suns' record also plummeted.

From the stable top few in the West in the past to falling into the lottery this year, this strong team for many years seems to have "declined".

However, at least when Nash plays healthy, the Suns are still the offensive team that no one dares to underestimate!

In the first round, Shuhao, who was a rookie in the team, chose to hand the ball to the big brother in the team.

He saw that Yao Ming was getting into a good position in the low post, so he hit the ground and passed the ball to the inside.

After getting the ball, Dayao faced the young Robin Lopez. After a few hits, he easily scored the basket, turned around and made a small hook to score the ball.

2:0, the Rockets took the lead!

The home team fans at the Toyota Center are very excited. They are used to the team winning this season, and today's game does not seem to be very difficult.

But before they had time to cheer, the Suns had already switched offenses.

It turned out that after Yao Ming scored the goal, Nash quickly came to the bottom line.

After receiving the serve from his teammate, he quickly advanced.

Time does not seem to deprive Nash of his speed. After he kicks up a few steps, he is still the familiar "son of the wind"!

Fortunately, Shuhao's speed is also very fast, and he has made full preparations before the game, knowing that he must always pay attention to Nash's movements.

Therefore, when the Suns just started to speed up on the 13th, Brother Hao quickly retreated and successfully stopped Nash outside the three-point line.

However, the rest of the Rockets' players were not fully prepared.

When Richardson plugged in at high speed from the other side, no one came to stop him.

With a flick of his wrist, Nash led the ball and helped Richardson get an open spot in the penalty area.

It wasn't until the latter jumped up under the basket and was about to dunk that Griffin was long overdue.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and Griffin fouled.

Moreover, after being fouled, Richardson threw the ball away.

And when the basketball hit the rebound, it rolled into the net in a strange way.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

After the goal, Richardson was also very excited, excitedly celebrating with Nash who sent a wonderful pass.

With the additional penalty hit, the Suns successfully overtook the score.

In the VIP box, Shen Fei calmly watched everything that happened on the field.

Judging from today's opening state, the main players of the Rockets clearly show signs of underestimating the enemy.

But young Asians aren't mad about it.

The season is very long, you can't ask the players to maintain a high degree of concentration all the time.

In 82 regular-season games, it is normal for a star player to experience ups and downs.

More importantly, when such a situation occurs, can the team make adjustments and how long it will take to adjust.

............

Offensive and defensive transition, George received a pass from Jeremy at a 45° angle.

Facing the defense of the once talented player-Grant Hill, he pulled up the shot directly after several dazzling dribbles under the crotch.

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out of the frame.

Yao Ming jumped high and grabbed the offensive rebound.

But before he had time to pass the ball, he was double-teamed by the Suns.

Yao Ming has rich experience, he lifts the ball high to avoid being intercepted, and at the same time keeps his eyes on the six directions, constantly looking for his teammates. .biqugé

However, except for Jeremy Lin who is actively running, the Rockets' other players move slowly, making it difficult for Yao to pass the ball.

The attack time passed quickly, and in desperation, Yao Ming could only use his left foot as the axis, turn around and force a shot.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop again, and Robin Lopez received the rebound.

At the same time, Mark Jackson, the Rockets coach on the sidelines, had fire in his eyes, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the enthusiasm of the players just this round.

The game continues.

In the next round, McGrady saw that his teammates were frustrated in offense, so he decided to rely on his personal ability to solve the problem.

He faced Richardson's defense and made consecutive tentative steps outside the three-point line.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, McGrady directly chose to fight.

Clearly taking off on the spot, but able to reach a very high position in a very short time, Richardson can only look at the ball and sigh in the face of such a shot.

He even gave up taking off and just stretched out his hand symbolically.

After leaving t-mac's fingertips, the basketball spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

This time, after scoring the goal, McGrady did not celebrate and immediately returned to defense.

As a leader, he decided to use his actions to drive his teammates.

As for the other Rockets players, after seeing the team leader working hard to return to defense, they naturally dare not slack off.

The five retreated to the half court immediately, not giving the Suns a chance to switch offenses.

Seeing this, Nash chose to slow down and reorganize the offensive position.

He held the ball at the top of the arc and began to direct his teammates to run.

The book tycoon who was facing him was staring at Nash intently, with a high degree of concentration.

Soon, Robin Lopez was on a high screen.

Nash made an in&out feint, switched hands and dribbled the ball, bypassed the screen, and successfully got rid of Jeremy's defense.

Then, he dribbles all the way to the free throw line.

Yao Ming and Griffin have shrunk to the basket, ready to encircle Nash.

But Nash's most killer, or his pass.

I saw him facing the left corner, making a gesture to pass the ball, but his hands were moving his wrists to the right.

no-look-pass (do not look at the pass)!

After receiving the ball, Turkoglu, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, opened his hand and shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

After scoring the goal, the Turkish agent took a look in McGrady's direction.

Obviously, he regards the ball as an answer.ball to the opponent.

After Maddie noticed Turkoglu's gaze, he smiled slightly and shook his head.

After the offensive and defensive transition, he deliberately called a pick-and-roll and replaced the defender with a Turkish agent.

For Turkoglu, we have to mention the "one-star and four-shot" Magic team back then.

In fact, the core of the gorgeous team that defeated the Cavaliers led by James and entered the finals is not only Warcraft.

As a rare point forward, the Turkish agent has an immeasurable influence on the Magic team.

Not only can he take on organizational work (the Magic's point guard passing ability is not strong), but he can also stand up at critical moments to make up for Howard's limitations as an insider.

However, after defeating Los Angeles that year and losing the championship, Turkoglu chose the latter between continuing to chase honors and a bigger contract.

Now that times have changed, the state of the Turkish agents has also plummeted after leaving Orlando, and it is still lost to everyone.

Facing his defense, McGrady dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and then suddenly made a few cross steps to speed up the breakthrough.

Turkoglu couldn't react in time, his feet seemed to be glued to the floor, and he watched t-mac leave.

After reaching the basket, McGrady got up to full speed.

I saw him facing Lopez who was defending, and took off resolutely...

"bang!"

The basketball was smashed into the basket, and the defending center fell to the ground in embarrassment.

This is the terrifying and destructive power of Peak McGrady!

As soon as the goal was scored, the Toyota Center was boiling again.

Fans chanted McGrady's name, and there were even some mvp chants.

T-mac, on the other hand, gave Turkoglu a responsive look with a disdainful smile on his face.

However, in this game, the Rockets' other main players are indeed out of shape.

Relying on Nash's go-between, the Suns played very smoothly on the offensive end.

The Rockets rely more on the personal abilities of Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, but no one could get rid of the other.

With a dead ball, the game entered an official timeout.

............

Rocket bench.

Mark Jackson looked serious, not smiling.

"Now that the season has just started, you don't think you are invincible?"

"If we continue to perform like this, how can we compete for the championship with strong teams like the Heat and Spurs?"

"I am very dissatisfied with your enthusiasm after the opening!"

"Since some people don't cherish the opportunity to play, then reflect on it on the bench!"

Mark Jackson spit and stared, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

In his view, apart from Jeremy Lin who is in a normal state during this period, everyone else, including the Yao-Mai combination, is a little slack.

If it weren't for the talent to crush the opponent, the Rockets should be far behind the opponent at this time!

So, after the timeout ended, Mark Jackson removed all four main players except Shu Hao and replaced them with a brand new lineup!

Then, the game continued!
