Chapter 120
Van Gundy broke the news and immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

Late, who was inside the stadium, didn't know this, and when he entered the field, he was enthusiastically cheered -- and booed -- by local Houston fans.

When he received his championship ring, the cheers at the Toyota Center reached its highest point.

Being late seems very calm, because I have already made psychological preparations.

Yao Ming ran over to say hello to him, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect us to play the opening game. I guess the domestic fans are very happy. I hope you can show mercy today."

"How is that possible? I must show my progress, otherwise some idiots will criticize me for not making any progress." Chi Lai responded half-jokingly.

At 7:30 in the evening, the game between the two sides officially started.

The Rockets starting at home: Yao Ming, David Lee, Prince, Bonzi Wells, Billups.

The Warriors who came to the away game started: Troy Murphy, Al Harrington, Stephen Jackson, Brandon Roy, late.

After joining the Warriors, he took another physical test late. His height has grown, and he has now reached 190.6cm. He has a slight advantage in the position of point guard.

He looked relaxed, and Billups, who was facing him, was not so easy. He looked serious, as if he was facing some major challenge.

Players who often play against late players will feel very hopeless, because the player who is playing against him is a tyrant. Even if your defense has no problems, being late may throw a three-pointer in front of your face.

Yao Ming won the jump ball and passed the ball to Billups.

Veteran Bonzi Wells, who was signed just before the start of this year's preseason, received the ball at halftime and immediately played a pick-and-roll with Yao Ming.

Last season, only Yao Ming was left among the Big Three of the Rockets, and the previous tactics could no longer be used.

Yao Ming must withdraw from the inside more often, relying on his height advantage to help his teammates get opportunities.

Yao Ming's pick-and-roll was perfect, and Wells got the chance to break through easily, and he immediately rushed to the inside with the ball.

But late's understanding of his former teammates was far beyond their imagination, and he immediately moved over to defend.

Wells was not greedy for credit, and passed the ball back to Yao Ming who ran near the free throw line.

Yao Ming saw that Murphy was standing under the basket without moving, so he shot directly from the free throw line.

"Damn! Buddha spit!"

There is no way to be late for this kind of ball. The height difference between him and Yao Ming is too big, so there is no way to interfere with him.

After the goal, Yao Ming laughed and returned to his own half, while the Warriors made a fast serve.

Stephen Jackson gave the ball to Brandon Roy, but not late to the point guard.

The old Nelson standing on the sidelines immediately frowned, because this was completely inconsistent with the tactics he had arranged before.

Although Roy is one year older than Late, he is just a tender rookie and has no right to question the team's tactics. He honestly dribbled the ball across the half and was about to pass the ball to Late, Stephen Jackson I want the ball.

Stephen Jackson is called "Wu Sheng" by people in the Jianghu. This nickname was created by himself. Roy didn't dare to lose face, so he had to pass the ball.

Harrington ran to the three-point line to play a pick-and-roll with Jackson, and Murphy also wandered near the three-point line-when the Warriors were attacking, there was no one at the basket.

Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't choose to follow. He glanced at the late player and thought that this ball should not be the tactical play that the Warriors had arranged before, and Stephen Jackson might be about to make a breakthrough.

He was right, Stephen Jackson had no intention of passing the ball late.

He has been in the league for several years, and he has never been an honest person. He joined the team late this year, did not show respect to his predecessors, and was even established by the team as the new core, which made Stephen Jackson very upset. .

Regardless of how accurate the late three-pointer is and how strong the scoring ability is, anyway, Stephen Jackson thinks that late is a soft guy who can only float outside the three-point line, and he doesn't dare to kill the most competitive basket at all, so that's it Why did you become the boss of the team?

This is probably a matter of disagreement. Anyway, Stephen Jackson thinks that if a soft guy like Late leads the team, he might as well let him do it himself.

So he colluded with Harrington and Murphy, intending to isolate the lateness on the court. Roy is just a rookie, and he is just a fake starter in the team's tactics. How can he be compared with an old ball ruffian like him.

Isn't Stephen Jackson afraid of entering the front office?
Not to mention, people never thought about this issue at all.

As I said before, at least half of the players in the NBA are in arrears in IQ.

Although Stephen Jackson is not the kind who owes his IQ, when it concerns his own interests, it is inevitable that he will be a little bit concerned and make some incomprehensible actions.

He hit a pick-and-roll with Harrington and immediately rushed inside.

The ball was played very simply, it was a pick-and-roll coordination, there were no other tactics at all, and it didn't even care about the running positions of other teammates.

The weakness of David Lee's insufficient defensive ability was exposed at this time. He wanted to follow Harrington and block Jackson's breakthrough route, but completely exposed the gap.

Jackson was also a ruthless person at his peak, even when he saw Yao Ming standing under the basket and did not come out, he rushed in without hesitation.

Look down on me the Great Wall of China?Look down on my 223cm short wingspan?Look down on my FMVP last season?

So Yao Ming told Stephen Jackson with the facts that there is a price to be paid for looking down on people.

A big slap like a cattail leaf fan was slapped down, and Stephen Jackson was thrown to the ground directly.

Jackson was furious, and immediately got up from the ground, cursing at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming put on a straight face and confronted Jackson with his chest out.

The referee whistled, Stephen Jackson made a technical foul, and the Rockets got a free throw.

Judging from the slow-motion playback, Yao Ming's block was very clean and full of power.

After gaining weight last year, Yao Ming did not continue to gain weight blindly this year. Acting coach Tom Thibodeau once suggested that he gain another 10kg or so, but Yao Ming refused.

He clearly remembered what Laidi had said to him. He could not believe others, but Ladai had shown him his magic countless times. Yao Ming would never doubt what Ladai said.

Even so, Yao Ming is now one of the heaviest centers in the league. With a weight of 137KG, he has strong confrontation ability and flexible footwork. Stephen Jackson thought that he could score points on Yao Ming with a simple and direct breakthrough. It is taken for granted.

Van Gundy explained: "The Warriors have a problem with their offensive tactics. Jackson and Harrington's pick-and-roll play is too simple. In the hands of a team with strong defensive capabilities like the Rockets, such a simple play is completely unworkable. "

Pippen smiled and sarcastically said: "It seems that being late has not yet grasped the Warriors' locker room. Jackson has no intention of passing the ball to him at all. If he can't even control the locker room, why should he lead the ball?" Team wins."

Van Gundy curled his lips, too lazy to argue with this idiot.

Yao Ming made a free throw, and the Rockets still had possession of the offensive ball.

Prince served to Billups from the outside, and Big Heart dribbled the ball to wait for Yao Ming to settle.

Pippen started talking nonsense again: "Billups seems to want to be late in singles. I don't think it is possible to guard him late. Billups has an advantage in height and weight. He..."

Before the words finished, Yao Ming was already standing under the basket, and Billups lobbed the ball in.

"Uh... well, it seems that the core of the Rockets' offense at the beginning was Yao Ming, and the Warriors' insiders couldn't limit him."

Pippen was right in the second half of the sentence. Murphy is really a softie, with a height of 213cm, but Yao Ming eats him to death.

Yao Ming made a small hook at the basket and easily scored another goal.

The Warriors quickly sent the ball to the baseline, Stephen Jackson still gave the ball to Roy, and then asked for the ball again just after halftime.

Roy didn't give it this time, but took a look at being late.

But the late expression was flat, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Jackson yelled, "Hey rookie, do you want to die?"

Roy had no choice but to pass the ball, and he started to move in accordance with the team's tactics.

He has played in the NCAA for four years. He has excellent tactical skills and good running ability, but don't forget Jackson's current mentality. This time he still plays pick-and-roll with Harrington.

David Lee still failed to block his pick-and-roll breakthrough, and Jackson rushed to the Rockets basket again.

Some fans couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I seem to have seen this scene before."

Well, everyone has seen it.

The Great Wall of China showed its power again, and slapped it with a slap.

Fortunately, Jackson learned the lesson of being blocked for a layup just now. This time he made some preparations and was not overturned, but the ball was still lost.

The good news is that Roy grabbed the ball and was about to break through with the ball. Jackson rushed towards Yao Ming like a wild beast, shouting: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Prince reacted quickly and immediately rushed to protect Yao Ming.

I don't want to see Yao Ming suffer for being late, even though the two of them are rivals now, they still come up and try to hold Jackson back.

Stephen Jackson had blocked shots twice in a row, and he had already become angry from embarrassment. It didn't matter whether it was a teammate who came to pull him, or he had planned to do it a long time ago, he just elbowed him with a backhand.

It was too late to expect that Jackson would attack him. He couldn't react in time, so he only had time to raise his arms to block it.

But almost all NBA players are super muscular and powerful, and they were late and couldn't completely block Jackson's strength, and were staggered by an elbow.

This change was so fast and sudden that all the players on the field were stunned.

Warriors coach Nelson jumped in anger, pointed at Jackson and cursed so loudly that the audience in front of the TV could hear him.

"You idiot, look at what you've done, don't ever try to play again! Don't!
