Legendary basketball manager

Yao Ming took off with all his strength, overwhelmed the German center - Kaman, and won the jump ball.

The rocket strikes first!

Lowry passed the half court with the ball and began to organize the offense.

Soon, with the help of his teammates, McGrady went to the outside line and asked for the ball with his hands.

Lowry flicked his wrist, and the ball arrived.

t-mac didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net.

3:0, the Rockets took the lead.

"Hey, this goal is simply scored!"

"From this first round, we can see that the Rockets' cooperation is much more sophisticated than at the beginning of the season."

Zhang Weiping commented in a timely manner.

"Yes, and the Rockets gave me a special feeling today, that is, the oppressive feeling of a strong team. And the confidence and decisiveness of the players seem to be much stronger than before."

Su Qun agreed.

The game continues.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Lance Stephenson took the initiative to undertake the Clippers' first offense.

And the one facing him was Paul George, the teammate of the Jagged Pacers in the original time and space.

But today is different.

In this time and space, the two did not have much intersection, but had some simple exchanges at the beginning of the summer league.

In the eyes of Paul George, Stephenson is just a tough guy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Facing such an opponent, Pickled Pepper will not relent at all.

He lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Stephenson's mentality has always been good. Even though the game was booed by the fans from the beginning, he still maintained his confidence.

I saw him making continuous crotch dribbles, approaching George step by step.

I have to say that Stephenson's sense of the ball is still very good.

One move and one move give people a feeling of being one with the human and the ball, freely swaying.

But it is a pity that the opponent he met was Paul George, who was far more talented than him.

George not only has outstanding physical fitness, but also has the best defensive skills among his peers.

Especially with Tony Allen and Shane Battier in the team, his defensive skills are much better than his own in the same period in the original time and space!

During Stephenson's butterfly dribbling, George kept his eye on the central axis of the former's nose-chest-crotch, and was not fooled by his fake moves.

In this way, Stephenson's dazzled movements give people the feeling that... one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and one's eyes are fixed on the spot.

This made the Rockets fans at the scene very happy.

They booed, adding to the pressure on Stephenson.

Junior brother is a first-year rookie after all, so he has never experienced the feeling of being targeted by all the fans.

Seeing that fake moves were ineffective for George, he gritted his teeth and made a cross step, speeding up his thrust.

Who would have thought that Stephenson's explosive first step not only failed to complete, when he lowered his head and rushed, George stretched out his left hand and directly blocked the ball!

A one-on-one life grab!

After completing the steal, George immediately dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack.

McGrady and Griffin on the side also started to speed up at the same time, and the Rockets instantly formed a three-line fast break.

On the Clippers side, the two guards who were dragged at the end-Baron Davis and Eric Gordon quickly returned to defense.

But it is not easy to defend against three with two.

On the way back, the two looked at each other, and immediately reached a tacit understanding, giving priority to defending George and McGrady on the two wings.

And George, who was dribbling, reacted quickly, looking in McGrady's direction, but the ball was thrown towards the middle.

The next moment, a figure rushed over and caught the pass.

It was Griffin!

The place where he catches the ball is one step inward from the free throw line.

Generally, players receive the ball in this position. If they want to attack the frame, they generally have two options.

One is to take another step in, and then kick the ground with both feet to complete the take-off.

The advantages of jumping with both feet are high stability and sufficient power, but it requires a greater test of jumping ability and explosive power.

One is to take three steps, rush to the vicinity of the three-second zone and then take off on one foot.

One-foot take-off is faster, but the strength will be slightly weaker, and it is easy to deform when encountering collisions in the air.

Both of these approaches are reasonable, but they also have a common disadvantage - they will give the opponent time to react.

And Griffin's handling method is completely different from others.

After catching the ball, he kicked his feet hard and jumped straight away!

Attacking the basket directly at this distance, the Clippers duo never thought of it, and naturally they couldn't react.

Ever since, Griffin soared into the sky and flew directly to the basket.

It is worth mentioning that when he jumped to the highest point, the top of his head has exceeded the height of the basket!

"bang!"

Flat basket dunk!

Griffin's explosive dunk directly ignited the Toyota Center Arena.

Some of the fans hugged the back of their heads, and some covered their mouths, all in disbelief.

There have been 16 games in the season, but when they saw Griffin dunk, they still couldn't help feeling excited!

"Hey, this ball is scheduled for today's top five balls!"

"Griffin's dunk is really pure aesthetics of violence. At that distance, most people would not choose to take off and dunk. A guard with such experience as Baron Davis did not expect it!"

Zhang Weiping sighed with a smile.

"Yeah, there hasn't been such a violent dunk in the league for a long time."

"I think some domestic fans have nicknamed Griffin 'Gilifen', which is really appropriate!"

"And Griffin, a young man, is not only good at dunking, but his skills are actually very good. He is definitely the kind that ranks among the inside players."

Su Qun added that his tone was full of appreciation.

At the same time, Shen Fei in the VIP room nodded slightly after seeing this dunk.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, today is a good start."

The Asian youth muttered to himself.

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

After changing sides, the Clippers attacked again.

This time, Baron Davis patiently directed his teammates to run, and ignored Stephenson who was frantically asking for the ball.

But as the offensive time passed by every minute and every second, he suddenly discovered that the Rockets' defense was impeccable!

In desperation, Davis had to find another way.

He raised his right hand and signaled his teammates to come forward for the pick-and-roll.

Kaman arrived quickly and set up solid cover.

With the help of the pick and roll, Davis finally got rid of Lowry, and then met Yao Ming's defense.

Small and big, such a mismatch (misplaced) beard will naturally not be missed.

He immediately dribbled the ball to the left 45°, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.

The fans at the Toyota Center saw that Yao Ming was about to be challenged, and immediately cheered for their leader:

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

...

Amidst the mighty sound, Davis launched an attack.

He took two steps backwards, opened the space, then suddenly accelerated, rushed towards Yao Ming, and then hit Dayao with a huge crossover...
