Chapter 109 Against the Knicks

That night.

The Houston Rockets' football market is quite good. A large number of fans arrived at the arena early, and nearly [-]% of the fans spontaneously wore the Rockets' home red jerseys.

The pre-match atmosphere was pretty good, and the occasional hustle and bustle made the arena extremely lively.

commentary bit.

The commentary team that came to Houston this time was not Van Gundy and Drexler, but O'Neal and Kenny Smith, who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Look at the scene in Houston, I feel like I'm already feeling the adrenaline rush!"

O'Neal looked around exaggeratedly, and spread his hands wide, as if to embrace the entire arena.

Kenny Smith pulled him down with some embarrassment, and said in a depressing "whisper": "Dude, you just need to embarrass yourself, why did you drag me along?"

"Really??" O'Neill blinked darkly, then suddenly bent down and hugged Smith, as if teasing his son, and said rather funnyly: "Dear Kenny, since we are good brothers, we should lose face Of course we will throw it away together."

Nima's.

Kenny Smith pushed him away with disgust on his face, deliberately moved a little far away, and then made a motion of wiping his head and retching.

If you are an old fan of the Rockets, I am afraid that you will remember Kenny Smith's action.

That year.

McGrady is still in ecstasy with his calf, and O'Neill is still that super-lover.

In the All-Star Game, because of McGrady's mistake, O'Neal took the ball and dunked it. After landing, the big clown put his arms around McGrady's head and gnawed hard.

nowadays.

Kenny Smith used this method to increase the effect of the show, and the result was very good, prompting a lot of laughter from the fans who heard it.

but.

O'Neill will never lose the wind. He made a mistake that Kenny Smith once made laughing at the audience, and the laughter resounded around them again.

It was a joke.

The two tacitly took out information about the two teams at the same time.

Like a primary school student, O'Neal stared wide-eyed, leaned on the paper, and read: "Tonight's game, according to the provisional lineups given by the two teams, the Rockets are still James Harden, Chandler Parsons, Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson, and Jeremy Lin, who hasn't been doing well lately."

"The Knicks are very helpless." Kenny Smith seemed to be giving a speech, and took over the words with a serious face: "They have to be grateful for Tyson Chandler's health, and he will sit in the Knicks this time. Inside."

"Power forward, because Amare Stoudemire smashed the fire glass with a punch, and Ronnie Brewer has to thank him for giving up the starting spot."

"The Knicks looked very embarrassed at the sub-position. They actually let Raymond Felton play. I think JR Smith is the right way to start."

"Needless to say the point guard, the old man named Jason Kidd, who is cheeky and not ready to retire, seems to be still old and strong, and he can bring the charm of some middle-aged men to the team."

Lively and playful presentations that make their combo bling.

This can be seen.

Being able to firmly sit on the throne of TNT's golden combination, they really have good abilities and gossip.

After introducing the lineups of both teams, they immediately analyzed their game tonight.

"At the center position, I think Chandler is obviously stronger than Omer in a similar style, even though he is younger and looks stronger physically."

O'Neill was the first to open the conversation box.

Kenny Smith agrees: "Chandler's years in the NBA were plagued by injuries, but as he built his muscles and stopped thinking about flying all the time, he The physical reality is astonishing."

"Coupled with the experience he has accumulated over the years, and winning the championship with the Mavericks, Chandler is definitely the top defensive and rebounding player in the league."

O'Neal seamlessly connects: "At the power forward position, if I were to choose, I would give Ronnie 15 to [-] minutes, and use the old Rockets Steve Novak to make up for their lack of Patrick. .”

"I understand what you mean." Smith spread his hands: "Although they can play wheel battles, the Rockets want to play in this position with a super substitute Qin Tao. Believe me, it is impossible for them to win. .”

"However." O'Neal said expectantly: "At the small forward position, Chandler Parsons certainly made a very good start, but Melo is still the league's top super scorer."

On this point, Smith fully agrees with O'Neill's words.

When it comes to point guards and point guards, they have some disagreements.

"The Knicks' shooting guard, although it looks awkward, but as long as JR can't play normally, his offensive aggressiveness will be terrible!"

Kenny Smith shook his finger directly: "To be honest, although James Harden's defense has always been a big problem, compared to JR, he thinks James is tougher!"

On this point, they immediately turned into street shrews, chattering endlessly.

Simply following the director's reminder in the earphones, the two stopped talking, and if the game didn't start again, the two of them would really stop talking.

At this time.

With the cheers in the arena, O'Neill and the others immediately looked at the home team's player channel.

The Rockets players headed by Qin Tao are coming out of the tunnel.

Judging from their mental outlook, they are obviously in a very good state.

Look at the visiting team.

Carmelo Anthony served as the team leader and led his teammates to the players' benches.

look at them.

O'Neill and Smith couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Did you see that big stupid guy?" O'Neal pointed to Rasheed Wallace, who was still in good physical condition, wearing a headband: "If it was me, when I just retired for less than two years, I would definitely not Maybe choose this time to retire, but choose a good day and auspicious day, there is no good time for the center position in the league!"

Kenny Smith agrees with serious seriousness: "And that old guy who turns 40, is he really going to play until David Stern retires?"

He is not talking about others, but his entire career, Kurt Thomas, who has been in the Knicks for several years and has always been inseparable from blue-collar workers.

Make sense.

O'Neal, who entered the league in the same year as Thomas, is now sitting in the commentary booth, but this old iron is still galloping on the field. I have to say, it's really hard.

And then Smith will not mention what he teased O'Neill, there is nothing to describe except funny and sincere.

after awhile.

When the appearance ceremony with the Rockets' characteristics was completed, the bald referee Crawford, who hadn't seen him for a long time, walked to the technical table after the pre-match warm-up had just been completed.
