Legendary basketball manager

Of course, this was a decision made by Mark Jackson after the previous two games and the team training games during the period.

At this moment, Kyle Lowry was wearing a long-sleeved training suit, sitting on the sidelines a little lonely.

In yesterday's confrontation match, Curry, who was on the bench, used 8 three-pointers to destroy the defense of the main team.

After the game, Mark Jackson announced the starting lineup for the game.

Lowry was not surprised when he learned that he missed the main force.

He has certain psychological expectations.

After all, after Stephen Curry returned from injury and returned to the team, he did perform at a higher level.

Lowry even has a hunch that unless Curry is injured in the future, it will be difficult for him to regain his starting position.

Xiaogangpao had never had this premonition before.

In the past, Ty Lawson also served as the Rockets' main point guard at a certain stage, and he played well.

But Lowry was very confident at the time and never doubted himself.

But time has passed, and the appearance of Curry has given Lowry, who is also young, a sense of powerlessness.

You know, it has only been more than a week since the latter returned to the team!

Lowry looked at the head coach on the side with mixed feelings-Mark Jackson.

The coach with strict military management made it clear at the beginning of taking over the team that the team's starters are those who are capable, and they will never rank seniority.

[Then train hard and fight harder! ]

[Steph is strong, but I'm not bad either, I can't just give up the starting position so easily! ]

Lowry thought so.

Mark Jackson on the side naturally didn't know that his disciples thought so much.

He looked at the warm-up players on the field with a relaxed expression, and he was very confident in winning the game.

The Rockets' opponent today, the Cleveland Cavaliers, just lost the team's ace in the summer, and their record this year has also plummeted.

Their main player turned out to be the soon-to-be 35-year-old former All-Star power forward - Antawn - Jamison, and the Brazilian actor - Varejao.

This pair of insiders, not even at the All-Star level, is already the core of the current Cavaliers.

Faced with such a weak opponent, Mark Jackson decisively mentioned Curry to the starting lineup.

His purpose is very simple, that is to use a hearty victory to make Meng Shen the main force.

It is worth mentioning that after Shen Fei learned that Mark Jackson had adjusted the starting lineup, he immediately said that he would come to the scene to watch the game.

His presence once again reflects the importance he attaches to Curry.

In addition, the Rockets rested some starters in this game.

Tracy McGrady, Roy, Yao Ming and others raised their free cards. This is already a routine operation of the Rockets this season.

No way, the bench is deep and there are many players, it's just so willful.

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

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Birdman Anderson jumped high and won the scrum with Varejao.

The rocket strikes first!

Curry passed the half court with the ball, handed the ball to Jeremy Lin, and then began to run.

During the period, George, Tucker, and Anderson set up off-ball pick-and-rolls for him to help Curry successfully get rid of the defense.

Shuhao watched all directions and passed the ball immediately.

Curry catch&shoot, raising his hand is a three-pointer.

His shot speed was as fast as if the basketball bounced off him, and he didn't give the defender a chance to make up the defense at all.

After the basketball left Curry's fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

3:0, the Rockets took the lead.

Offensive and defensive transition, Varejao singles Tucker in the low post.

What he didn't expect was that Tucker, who was a head shorter than himself, had such a solid foot...

Can't stand it at all!

In desperation, the Brazilian film star turned around, ready to use his height advantage to force a shot.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around to lift the ball, a pair of ruthless iron hands suddenly appeared...

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball stayed in place, and Varejao continued to complete the take-off due to inertia.

It's just that his posture of waving his teeth and claws in the air is really not beautiful.

Tucker immediately took control of the ball and handed it to Curry beside him.

Mengshen bowed his head, and strode forward.

After arriving at the Cavaliers' half court, he suddenly discovered that the opponents had all retreated to the free throw line, and they had no intention of defending him for three-pointers.

Curry was a little surprised, and immediately shot two steps outside the three-point line...

bingo!

At 6:0, the point difference continued to widen.

Cavaliers point guard - Ramon Sessions pressed his hands down to signal his teammates to calm down.

But in the next round, he himself was in the process of breaking through, and George cut the ball horizontally.

The rocket launched a counterattack again!

This time, the Cavaliers learned how to behave, and after Curry advanced halfway, they sent special personnel to defend.

Unexpectedly, just as Sessions rushed to the defensive position with his front foot, he was passed by Curry with a small but very realistic crossover in the next second.

Curry continued to attack the penalty area, forcing the rest of the Cavaliers to shrink their defense.

Then, he used a freehand pass behind the back and handed the ball to George who was ambushing at a 45° angle on the right.

Pickled peppers bow and arrows, outside shots...

"Shu~"

Three-point arrow, the flames of hell!

9:0, the Rockets made a fantastic start.

At the moment, the Toyota Center arena is boiling.

The fans stood up and cheered, cheering for the team's wonderful performance.

Off the field, a group of bigwigs led by Yao Mai were all smiling and chatting with smiles:

"This kid is so smart."

Battier sighed.

"Yeah, it can be seen from the behind-the-back pass just now. This kind of passing method is actually very risky. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to pass it like this."

Tony Allen also expressed emotion.

"The most important thing is that Stephen's shooting ability can help the team open up space."

"The space is widened, and those wonderful breakthroughs and cooperation can be played. This is the tactical significance of the three-pointer."

Yao Ming analyzed seriously.

"It can only be said that the boss has hired a ruthless person...Even if we are old, the Rockets don't need to rebuild."

McGrady crossed his hands and put them on the back of his head, and said with a smile.

"Of course, Stephen has to stay healthy."

t-mac added another sentence.

On the court, the Cavaliers have been in disarray.

Antoine Jamieson wanted to use his personal ability to "stop the bleeding" for the team.

But his mid-range throw was ruthlessly blocked by Anderson.

For the third time in a row, the Rockets launched a conversion attack.

During the counterattack, Curry made a pass behind his head and passed the ball to the follow-up Birdman.

The next moment, the big bird lifted off and soared into the sky...

"bang!"

A powerful one-handed dunk directly stopped the Cavaliers.

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

On the bench, the Cavaliers will be downcast, as if there is no hope of winning.

"Coach, their firepower is too fierce, I don't even know how to defend..."

"Yeah, that No. 30 shot is amazing! He's fast and accurate, and he doesn't know when he's going to shoot. It seems that as long as there is an open space, he dares to shoot no matter how far away!"

"There are also two of their insiders. They are not tall, but one has strength and quick hands, and the other has amazing ability to protect the frame... Neither is easy to play."

......

Players, you said something to each other, and directly stunned the head coach-Byron Scott.

[Alas... this group of people is really a magic weapon. ]

He secretly said in his heart.

This season, Scott stepped in and took over the "broken" Cavaliers.

Team owner -- Dan Gilbert had only one request for him -- play badly and try to get the No. [-] pick.

Scott's head hurts.

For more than half of his coaching career, he was leading the team to a poor performance.

Because things are done beautifully (the record is indeed bad, but the scene is not particularly ugly), it has been widely praised by the industry.

Now, as long as there is a team ready to rebuild, the first name that owners think of is him.

Scott has become so inexplicably, a recognized master of bad performance.

However, when he saw the Cavaliers lineup during the offseason, he was still taken aback.

In his own words...

"This lineup doesn't need to be displayed at all, it's already bad enough!"

At this moment, all Scott can do is to say some innocuous words of encouragement, and then let the players continue to be abused.

Ever since, the next game became the show time for Curry and the Rockets!
