The Godfather of Basketball

Defense has never been something that the Nuggets are good at. After the Rockets introduced Billups, they played an infinite cut tactic for a whole season. point scoring opportunities.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Battier in the corner.

Battier made a wide open three-pointer.

"Shua!"

The sound of entering the net was very clear, and the Rockets took the lead first.

The Nuggets' offense, Iverson controlled the ball to the frontcourt, saw that it was Barea, and directly signaled to pull away.

When his teammates were all separated, he directly used the iconic crossover breakthrough.

However, Barea's defense against brown sugar was mediocre, and his continuous changes of direction did not shake his opponent away, and finally he managed to shake out a little space to grab a shot.

"boom!"

The basketball went out of the basket, and Millsap caught Martin and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming held the ball at the free throw line, this time he passed the ball to McGrady in an air cut, and McGrady made a layup that caused Martin's thug foul.

McGrady made two free throws and the Rockets got off to a 5-0 start.

For the Nuggets' offense, Iverson hit Barea again, but he still couldn't get rid of the continuous change of direction.

The rebound was taken by Battier.

There was an exclamation at the scene.

Barea played as Billups' substitute for half a season, but was squeezed to the bench by Sun Yue in the second half of the season. Usually, his playing time was limited. No one would have thought that Tang Tian would let him start at this time.

What they didn't expect was that the effect after the first launch was so good!

The live camera was shown to Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian's expression was indifferent, without any trace of surprise on his face.

Others have forgotten, but he remembers clearly that Barea's defense against Iverson was very effective last season.

Barea has improved significantly this season compared to last season, and Iverson is one year older.

One ebbs and another, not to mention the "chicken blood" effect brought by the sudden mention of Barea from the bench to the starting lineup.

The Rockets’ offense failed. Iverson didn’t play singles after holding the ball to the frontcourt this time. Instead, he called Camby to pick and roll, and quickly went to the basket after breaking the ball. .

The ball spun twice on the basket and brushed out of the frame. Iverson clapped his hands suddenly, and Yao Ming had already won the rebound when he wanted to shoot again.

"AI" feels a little cold tonight.

In the offense of the Rockets, Yao Ming was still holding the ball at the free throw line. Iverson was a little impatient when he failed to score consecutively. He took a risky steal and lost his position. Taking advantage of Martin's defense against Barea, Yao Ming leaned on Camby and made a quick back turn. .

Camby's reaction was half a beat slow, watching Yao Ming get to the basket and score a one-handed dunk.

7 to 0.

The fans cheered loudly.

In the Nuggets' offense, Iverson didn't feel good, and he handed the ball to Anthony in the low post.

This is the offensive routine of the Nuggets this season, Iverson hits, Iverson can't hit Anthony, Anthony hits, Anthony can't hit Iverson.

Shane Battier firmly against Anthony.

One is the iron gate at the small forward position, and the other is the core of the team's offense. The two have played against each other no less than dozens of times, and they are very familiar with each other.

Anthony turned around continuously, and failed to completely shake off Battier with a frontal breakthrough.

However, "Little Melon" is an offensive kaleidoscope after all, so he directly chose a step-back jumper at this time.

Battier jumped forward and played the iconic blindfold defense.

"Shua!"

Anthony made a shot against the defense.

Yao Ming was still at the free throw line to support the Rockets' offense.

McGrady's air cut back run on the right side led the Nuggets to the basket, and Yao Ming once again chose to turn around and play singles.

Camby withdrew the ball early, and Yao Ming broke through to the three-second zone and made a light hook.

"Shua!"

Camby's block attempt failed, and the Rockets continued to gain points.

9 to 2, the Rockets played like a rainbow.

The Nuggets' offense is still Anthony singles.

The players on the Rockets stared at their defenders closely, and Battier still let Battier defend alone.

Anthony hit the low post with his back, and after continuous confrontation, he used the iconic "washing machine gyration" and returned a fadeaway jumper.

"Unbelievable personal ability, Melo's personal offensive ability this season is outrageous." Mark Jackson, who was on the sidelines, watched with emotion.

The Rockets' offense, at this moment, the Nuggets' defense changed, but this change did not come from the coach, but from the players.

Martin seemed to dislike Camby's poor defense, and now he directly switched to defend Yao Ming.

As soon as Yao Ming held the ball, Martin's mouth didn't stop.

"Hey, big fool, don't pass the ball if you have the guts, hit me alone!"

Yao Ming is famous for his good temper in the NBA, but Martin's direct insulting trash talk is quite harsh.

Holding back his anger, he continued to look for open teammates.

"I knew you wouldn't dare, you're a big fool who can only pass the ball." Martin kept talking trash.

Yao Ming moved.

If Howard or O'Neal is behind him at this time, Yao Ming may still think about it, but you are Martin, and Martin after a serious injury, this is completely self-seeking abuse!

Martin saw Yao Ming hit hard, and before the joy in his heart reached his throat, Yao Ming had already turned around and went to the basket.

Before he was injured, he couldn't keep up with Yao Ming, and after the serious injury, he couldn't keep up with his head.

Martin rushed to the basket in a hurry, and Yao Ming stopped suddenly and turned around to hook.

Martin seemed to be frozen in place, without any reaction.

"Shua!"

Yao Ming's small hook went in again.

11 to 4, the Rockets still firmly grasp the situation on the court.

The Nuggets' offense is still Anthony singles.

The Rockets still have no intention of double-teaming. Tang Tian's strategy is already very obvious. Don't give the Nuggets any other chances. Use the top defensive soldiers to fight you. It's your ability to score. If you have the ability to fight me against the top defensive soldiers die.

This is obviously impossible. Anthony has strong personal ability, but it is impossible to throw all the balls in against a defender of Battier's level.

Battier's ball sank to prevent Anthony from going inside.

Anthony turned over and missed the jumper.

A long rebound, and Millsap tossed the ball into the air for a rebound.

Looking back, Yao Ming just got the ball, and Martin's trash talk came again.

Yao Ming was also not polite, this time he took the initiative to signal his teammates to open up space, and then directly hit Martin.

Turn around, Shanghai dance steps, small hook.

A set of skilled inside skills, Martin was shaken to nowhere, and the forced block hit Yao Ming's elbow directly.

"Shua!"

"beep!"

The moment the goal was scored, the referee's whistle sounded.

This is a 2+1 ball.

Yao Ming waved his arms excitedly.

Martin turned to the referee to complain.

At this time, Anthony's head was getting big, and Camby was defending well. Martin, a power forward, even took the initiative to go up to find abuse.

This is really a pig teammate!
