The Godfather of Basketball

Chapter 46 The Rain Keeps Falling (Part 3)

Davis saw the Rockets' defensive adjustment, and directly took the ball and broke through. Facing Yao Ming, he directly chose to accelerate the layup.

In addition to the three-pointer, Beard's breakthrough is also top-notch in the league.

Yao Ming couldn't keep up with his footsteps, so he could only watch Davis make a low-handed layup.

But at the moment Davis shot.

A long arm suddenly appeared above his head.

"Snapped!"

Millsap rushed out from the side and raised his hand, which was a big hit.

A pegboard hat!

The rebound was grabbed by Yao Ming.

The Rockets quickly played a counterattack. McGrady rushed to the frontcourt, facing Richardson, and made an emergency stop three-pointer before shooting.

"Shua!"

Go in with three points!

The Rockets scored 3 consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!

The cheers of the fans at the scene reached a small climax, and the three-point rain made people's blood boil.

In the offensive round of the Warriors, seeing that the Rockets were still defending a 3-2 zone defense, Davis once again chose to break through with the ball.

Before the game, he boasted that he would use offense to beat the Rockets, and now he will fulfill what he said.

This time after he broke through, he noticed Millsap, a pull-up layup.

This layup was completed very coherently, and Millsap couldn't block it at all.

However, he chose to pull the shot, but gave Yao Ming time.

The moment he made a shot, Yao Ming had already turned around and backed up to defend, with his big hands directly covering him.

Davis dodged for a while, but Yao Ming's deterrence was too great. After the basketball was shot, the angle was obviously wide, and it directly crossed the basket.

The rebound was taken by Millsap, and the Rockets counterattacked again.

This time it was Alston, fast break to the frontcourt and saw Davis defending him, he made a breakthrough feint, followed by a step back, and directly shot a three-pointer!

"This choice..." Brin was about to say that the ball was handled unreasonably, but the words did not finish.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Alstom made a three-pointer with a retreat step!

Brin was dumbfounded, and Miller's eyes widened.

The Rockets scored 4 consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!

And it was voted by three people!

It was a blast!

Old Nelson couldn't sit still, so he got up and called a timeout.

The fans couldn't sit still anymore, they stood up from their seats and cheered like crazy, whistles came and went.

Before the game, Davis said that he would use three points to defeat the Rockets, but judging from the opening, it was the Warriors who were going to be defeated by three points!

When the Rockets left the court, Kerr stood up and gave them high-fives one by one.

"Good job." Tang Tian also praised the team members.

All the training and waiting off the court is for the performance on the court at this moment.

Back from the timeout, the Warriors added off-ball running and off-ball pick-and-rolls, which allowed them to get some outside shots and some open 3-pointers.

But in comparison, the Rockets' three-pointers are more proactive, and their shots under confrontation are also more stable.

After replacing Novak and scoring two three-pointers, the Warriors were forced to use a 2-3 zone defense.

But in this way, Yao Ming is almost unstoppable inside.

He hooked and hit back, and showed off Shanghai dance steps from time to time, which made Biedrins want to cry.

After one quarter of the game, the Rockets have led the Warriors by 14 points 30 to 16.

Tang Tian took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket at this time, put it in his mouth and chewed it leisurely.

The characteristic of the Warriors is to play fast and make three-pointers. The strategy of the Rockets is to play three-pointers with you, but not to play fast.

This is the difference between him and Nelson, Kerr, and D'Antoni.

He is not simply superstitious about three-pointers, nor is he blindly bombarding, but uses Yao Ming's inner line to make three-pointers.

And once the three-pointer is opened up like the opening, forcing you to expand the defense, it's time for Yao Ming in the inside to show his dominance.

In this league, even the current O'Neal can't do much to defend Yao Ming one-on-one.

As the game went on, the scoring battle turned into a one-sided massacre.

The Warriors couldn't open the offensive three-pointer, and they couldn't start the defense.

After three quarters, the Rockets have already led the Warriors by 20 points 101 to 81, and the game was declared over early.

In the end, after the substitutes struggled in the final quarter, the Rockets finally defeated the Warriors 123 to 108.

123 points also set a new high for the Rockets' season, but compared to scoring, the number of three-point shots made by the Rockets in this game is more eye-catching.

They took 34 shots in the whole game! Even hit 20 of them! Just three-pointers scored 60 points, nearly half of the total points!

This number of shots and hits completely refreshed the three views of the fans.

Many people saw it for the first time. It turns out that the game can still be played like this, and this is a team with the NBA's number one center Yao Ming. It's amazing!

After the game against the Warriors, Thibodeau found Tang Tian again.

However, unlike the worried look before, he looked excited now.

"I admit that your thinking is right. This Rockets team looks really unstoppable." Thibodeau said from the bottom of his heart, and Tang Tian's performance once again conquered him.

What he didn't mention was that Tang Tian's courage to make adjustments during the winning streak really made him admire.

"No, we still have a lot to do." Tang Tian said.

Thibodeau froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

Don't be arrogant or impetuous after winning the game, Tang Tian is indeed a natural born handsome talent.

Thibodeau thought so, but what Tang Tian said was not modest and polite.

Winning a Warriors team with a poor defense can only be regarded as a good start.

If they want to go further in the playoffs, they have to continue to improve.

But a good start really added a lot of confidence to the Rockets.

After winning the Warriors, the Rockets' record has reached 18 wins and 6 losses, ranking third in the league and becoming a veritable strong team.

After the end of the game against the Warriors, the time came to December 20th, and Tang Tian will also usher in his first Christmas in the United States.

But just before Christmas, an earth-shattering deal happened in the league.

The Nuggets and the Philadelphia 76ers reached a deal. They sent the main point guard Andre Miller, forward Joe Smith and two 2007 first-round picks. Ferson and striker Ewan McFarlin formed a "two-gun combination" that shocked the league.

In the memory of the previous life, the Nuggets' double guns did not succeed in the end, but it was only when they were really in the league that they realized how much more shocking it was than the trade.

Four years after Anthony entered the league, his skills have fully matured, and he is a top three small forward in the league. Although Iverson is no longer at his peak, he still has strength and is still a top five guard in the league.

TNT and ESPN reported extensively on the transaction, and fans even described it as a joint effort between Jordan and Kobe, and countless people were looking forward to it.

In the team strength officially announced by the NBA, the Nuggets also jumped from the twelfth in the league to the fifth in the league, ranking behind the Rockets.
