The Godfather of Basketball

The Rockets' offense, Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Yao Ming's free throw line and continued to support.

McGrady went straight to the basket, and West couldn't keep up. Yao Ming passed the ball with his hands, and McGrady made an emergency stop after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

The sound of entering the net is clear and crisp, and the posture is picturesque.

The Cavaliers attacked, with the same tactics, James continued to break through, and this time the ball was assigned to West.

Yi Jianlian's supplementary defense was in place, and West had no chance. Da Ben put up and then picked and rolled. West scored Williams, and the latter made a three-pointer.

"Shua!"

There are still three points!

This is also the biggest change for the Cavaliers this season. West and Williams are both point guards, and both can shoot three-pointers.

The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming responded from the free throw line. The Cavaliers expanded their defense a lot. He turned around and hit Ilgauskas directly.

There is not much difference in height and size between the two, but Yao Ming's technique is obviously better, hitting the board with a small hook after shaking.

The Rockets' offense played no problem.

Looking back, the Cavaliers still played the same tactic, this time the scorer was replaced by James, and West made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

Still in!

The Cavaliers scored 3 three-pointers in the opening game, and it felt hot!

Billups advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and wanted to continue to hand Yao Ming. At this time, Ilgauskas chose to defend around the front. He is also tall and the ball is not easy to hang in.

Billups reacted quickly, calling Yi Jianlian to come out to play a pick-and-roll. After breaking the ball, he returned it to Yi Jianlian.

"boom!"

The tactic was successful, but Battier's shot was a little short and the basketball bounced out of the hoop.

James rushed to grab the defensive rebound.

The Rockets retreated in time, and James continued to support at the top of the arc.

Tang Tian made a gesture of 3-2 zone defense at this time. The Cavaliers' outside touch is too threatening.

Seeing this, James directly chose to break through Battier head-on.

Battier defended and retreated, and suffered a lot in the confrontation.

At the end of the basket, James squeezed Battier and scored.

11 to 4, the Cavaliers gave the Rockets a disarm at the beginning.

The Rockets attacked, and Billups assisted McGrady to score a three-pointer, saving some disadvantages.

But looking back, after James broke through the inside to attract double-teams, he gave the ball to the inside Ilgauskas, who directly hit the board and scored.

Here, Yi Jianlian's jumper was blocked by James' supplementary defense. Looking back, the Rockets no longer extended the defense. James directly received a pass from Williams and scored a three-pointer.

The game played almost half a quarter, and the Cavaliers' lead came to 9 points.

"The Cavaliers feel hot outside tonight, and it will be very difficult for the Rockets to win this game." Barkley said with a smack of his mouth.

"Maybe the situation will get better in the second half. The Cavaliers' outside line can't always be so accurate." Smith analyzed.

"But the real problem is LeBron, the Rockets have no good way to limit him." Barkley continued.

Tang Tian stood up from his seat at this time.

Barkley's words are the key point. This is James' sixth year in the league. His shooting has improved and his body is so strong that he is abnormal. The combination of the two has reached a peak state.

Two years ago, Battier was able to withstand single defense, but now he can't bear it anymore.

Coupled with the explosion of the outside touch of the Cavaliers tonight, this is tantamount to giving the Rockets two cups of poison.

Anti-James, the Cavaliers shoot you from the outside, defense from the outside, James' combination of sudden, shot, and points can also blow you up.

Tang Tian walked to the center of the bench and reached out to signal Artest to come on.

"beep!"

Less than five minutes into the game, a short whistle came from the sidelines.

Artest came on to replace Battier.

Both Barkley and Smith seemed very surprised. The game had only been played for less than half a quarter, and the Rockets' substitution came a bit early.

But this is Tang Tian's coaching style, once a problem is discovered, he will not procrastinate.

The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming moved directly from the free throw line to the high post. At this time, Ilgauskas failed to circle forward, and Sun Yue successfully passed the ball.

Yao Ming assisted with an air cut to McGrady, and McGrady made an emergency stop and made another shot.

James' defense was super fast, and after jumping up, he successfully interfered with McGrady's shot.

"boom!"

After hitting the iron with two points, Big Ben turned around and received a defensive rebound.

James interfered with Yi Jianlian with a goal in front of him, and this goal interfered with McGrady. He is also everywhere on the defensive end.

As the spokesperson of the league comparable to Jordan, after reaching the peak, his strength is a bit abnormal.

The Cavaliers' offense was still the same tactic, and James continued to support at the top of the arc.

However, a slight change from before is that his defender has changed from Battier to Artest.

Tang Tian once again gestured for a 3-2 zone defense on the sidelines.

The Cavaliers went around outside and didn't get any chances.

James holds the ball and goes straight to the basket.

"boom!"

But as soon as he started, he collided directly with Artest.

There was a muffled sound, like two heavy tanks colliding together, which made people's hearts tremble.

James' breakthrough stopped, not because he wanted to stop, but because he really didn't hit it.

Hard to do it, James chose to change directions and break through.

Artest's movement speed is not slow at all, close to James.

Five or six seconds into the attack time, James was still at the free throw line, and he didn't go in.

It's like suddenly switching from a waterway to a dry road, and you can't do it.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, James could only choose to turn around and lean back, and Artest flew forward.

"boom!"

After the ball was disturbed, it went out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by Yao Ming.

The Rockets finally defended against the attack!

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Rockets bench.

Tang Tian also nodded at this time.

In 2009, when James beat others, he was not as fast as him in the fight, and he was not as fast as him in the fight, and he was almost invincible.

But to say that the person who restricts him the most, Artest ranks second, and no one ranks first.

Although Artest hasn't had time to familiarize himself with the team's tactics, he has played a role that no one else can play!

Looking back at the reaction of the bench, playing the Cavaliers in the first game after the trade was the best thing for the Rockets.

The Rockets' offense, after Billups handed the ball to Yao Ming in the high position, he then signaled Artest to cut inside.

As soon as Artest made an empty cut, he pressed James to the inside, which was something Battier could not do on the offensive end before.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian and McGrady made a pick-and-roll on the right. After the split, Yi Jianlian went to the top of the ring, and McGrady moved to the right at a 45-degree angle three-point line.

Yao Ming flicked the ball to Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian made a decisive shot.

At this time, James and Artest were still entangled in the basket, and it was impossible to rush out to interfere again.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's three-pointer hit the net!
