The Godfather of Basketball

Gasol gives the ball to Odom, a swinging power forward who pulls out and shoots a 3-pointer.

Landry's speed is not slow, and successfully interfered with Odom's shot after throwing out.

"boom!"

Odom missed a three-pointer, McGrady grabbed a long defensive rebound and threw it to Billups outside.

Billups played fast break with the ball, and Landry was able to rush forward with his head buried.

In the frontcourt, Billups glanced behind him, made a fake layup, then threw the ball with one hand, and hit the ball behind the back directly to follow-up Landry.

Landry jumped up with the ball.

"Boom!"

It was a powerful two-handed slam dunk!

The cheers burst.

Landry's starting effect is not only full of presence, but also has first-class ability to grab points.

It's amazing!

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the Lakers bench at this moment.

There is a saying that you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

But sometimes I have to admit that an opponent like a pig is also a happy thing.

If Bynum hadn't had a convulsion and left the field early, Landry would certainly not have played so smoothly against Gasol.

And if Landry doesn't play well in the first game, his plan A, which was forced to advance, may be ruined.

But fortunately, Bynum's brain twitch came so timely.

Now Landry's starting trip is like a duck to water.

The two sides played for more than half a quarter, and the Rockets firmly controlled the situation on the court 25 to 17.

The two sides replaced the substitutes one after another.

Odom is a substitute, known by fans as the most extravagant substitute in history, and it is also a major strength of the Lakers when all players play.

But it was snowballed by Bynum's brain twitch, and Odom was replaced for a rest. Now, Farmar, Walton, Radmanovich, and Powell are all serious substitutes. .

On the Rockets side, there are also four serious substitutes, Gasol Jr., Scola, Pietrus, and Sun Yue.

But in comparison, anyone can see the strength gap between the two teams.

As soon as the Rockets' offense came up, Gasol Jr. responded at the free throw line, and Scola went to the high post after giving McGrady a pick-and-roll.

McGrady made an empty cut to attract double-teams, Gasol flicked the ball to the high post Scola, and Scola caught the ball and shot.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Scola's high jumper hit steadily.

The Lakers attacked, Farmar broke through the basket in a pick-and-roll, and Gasol Jr. dominated the sky and successfully interfered with his shot.

The basketball burst out of the frame, and Gasol turned around and received the defensive rebound.

The Rockets' offense, Gasol Jr. continued to support at the free throw line, and saw Scola cut and passed the ball.

Radmanovich quickly made up the defense inside, but Scola hit the ball with a covert shot to McGrady who rushed in from the weak side.

McGrady received the ball and directly abused the frame with a one-handed violence.

"Boom!"

Cheers burst from the entire Toyota Center.

Back on the bench, Scola no longer has to worry about being overwhelmed by the opponent's main power forward, and in the bench lineup, he is the main scoring point, and he doesn't feel that his role has weakened at all.

Of course, the most important point is that Scola's return to the bench, coupled with the coping ability developed by Gasol, means that there are two organization points in the bench lineup!

This substitute is not only full of firepower! Integrity also followed!

In the first game, Bynum had a brain twitch, and Kobe didn't feel good.

As a substitute, Odom mentioned that the firepower was not enough after starting.

The game fell to one side.

The Lakers didn't beat Landry like the previous teams beat Scola. As a result, they still don't have much to do with the Rockets.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 114 to 101, ending their three-game losing streak.

Yao Ming continued to play strongly and efficiently scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. McGrady also scored 24 points and 7 rebounds. Billups scored 12 points and 8 assists.

Landry, who started for the first time, played an eye-catching performance, 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 18 points and 5 rebounds.

On the bench, Scola also scored the most 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on the bench.

A substitution adjustment not only caused zero damage to the team, but also activated everyone.

Winning the Lakers, the Rockets have picked all the playoff competitors in the past week, and then they will usher in a relatively easy schedule.

Against the Clippers on November 19, the Rockets beat their opponents 108 to 83. Landry continued to play well, scoring a season-high 16 points on 7 of 10 shots, plus 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

On November 21, against the Kings, the Rockets beat their opponents 110 to 90. Landry scored 15 points and 8 rebounds.

There was also a moving scene in the game. Landry was hit by Artest and his front teeth flew off, but he still took off the rebound and continued to score toughly.

While the fans were excited, it also made them believe that Landry's performance was definitely not a flash in the pan.

On November 23rd, they challenged the Jazz. The Rockets fought against the Jazz in Salt Lake City for three and a half quarters, and finally won 98-91. Landry scored 15 points and 11 rebounds, and scored the first double-double of his career. His state became more and more brave.

On November 25, he flew to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers. The latter played well after supplementing Mo Williams in the new season and just won five consecutive victories.

With an assistant, James finally has the capital to compete with the Rockets.

However, after four quarters of fierce fighting, the Rockets were still stronger, beating their opponents 115 to 104, ending their opponent's five-game winning streak, and celebrating their five-game winning streak.

Landry's performance is still brave, 7 of 7 shots, 100% hit rate and grabbed 15 points and 6 rebounds.

During the five-game winning streak, Landry averaged 15.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, playing quite well.

In his previous life, Landry was called the "God Bird" by the fans, but at that time, the God Bird only got a lot of opportunities to play after Yao Ming was injured.

Now Yao Ming is still there, and his performance is still brave. This is really "the bird spreads its wings"!

It is also because of his outstanding performance that the Rockets are gradually on the right track after a wave of three-game losing streak. The team is second only to the Lakers with 10 wins and 3 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Good things come in pairs, Landry played well in the Rockets, and Yi Jianlian became more and more brave in the game of the Vipers in the Development League.

The development league games are much more compact than the NBA regular season. Yi Jianlian played a total of 7 games, averaging 26.2 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 53% of two-pointers and 40% of three-pointers.

Regardless of personal strength or talent, Yi Jianlian showed a tendency to crush the original Sun Yue.

The coaching staff of the Rockets were overjoyed, and Tang Tian was also looking forward to it.

The team had two days off after the game against the Bucks, and he just took this opportunity to visit the Development League.

The Viper team is in Hidalgo County, more than 500 kilometers away from Houston, and the plane passed by for more than an hour.

Thibodeau was leading the team in training, and Tang Tian took Cole with him.

This is the first time the two have traveled together.

Tang Tian brought some sports newspapers to read on the road, and Cole brought a Sony MP3.
