soon.

The first encounter of the Suns VS Rockets started.

For the Suns, the starting lineup remains unchanged.Dutch still hasn't been a starter.

Rockets here, starting lineup:

Yao Ming with No. 11 jersey——Center

Tracy McGrady with No. 1 - Forward

Steve Novak with number 20 - Forward

Bunche Wells with No. 6 - Defender

Aaron Brooks in jersey No. 0 - point guard

……

"Oh Yao~ Your hometown didn't start the game."

McGrady said to Yao Ming quite unexpectedly when he saw the starting lineup of the Suns, including Bully, Nash, Diaw, Marion, and Barbosa.

"It's never too late for good food."

"Oh?"

McGrady smiled, and he learned a Chinese idiom from Yao Ming, "Anyway, no matter what, I am very much looking forward to trying Du's dish. His performance in the NCAA is really great!"

"If you are a Westerner who eats our oriental food, I'm afraid you will get diarrhea if you are not used to it."

"..."

……

The Rockets with the combination of Yao and Mai played very steadily in the first quarter.

The Suns where the bully and the wind son Nash are present are not far behind.

The home of the Suns,

They played their own advantage and surpassed the Rockets by 5 points in the middle of the first quarter.

"The Suns are in great shape for this game!"

"Nash's touch is overwhelming. In this half of the game, he made 4 of 3 shots!"

"On the Rockets side, they haven't found their status yet."

Rick Adelman, the head coach of the Rockets, sat there calmly. After watching the half of the game intently, he turned his head and said to Sean Battier:
"Battier, you are ready to play!"

……

Just when Coach Adelman was about to use Battier, McGrady of the Rockets gradually found the feeling in the second half of the first quarter!

A three-pointer and a mid-range throw, all shots were missed.

Adelman temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​substitutions in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Suns VS Rockets scored 15 to 11, and the Suns led by 4 points and two goals.

When the second quarter began,

The Rockets replaced Battier in place of Steve Novak.

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, on the Suns side, Nash brought the ball inside, failed to find a shooting opportunity, and passed the ball to Stoudemire, the bully.

The little bully catches the ball and jumps up to shoot.

But the next second.

The mountain of Yao Ming came up.

"He's so tall!"

He is also an inside gate and a first-class center forward. When Xiaobawang saw Yao Ming, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

But the little bully is the little bully, bravely going to the basket, not afraid of Yao Ming's pressure, as soon as his right wrist is disguised, he wants to dunk Yao Ming!

but.

Yao Ming's left hand came up in time.

Snapped!
Gave the bully a block.

"Di-"

The referee blew the whistle, fouled Yao Ming once, and gave the bully two free throws.

But even so, there was still a shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

"Yao, he is like a mountain!"

"The little overlord can't stand it."

Bully made two free throws.

The ball came to the Rockets, Brooks had the ball in half court, and Nash played against him.Brooks tried to break through, and when he failed to break through, he cleverly passed the ball to McGrady inside.

Diaw's defense made McGrady no chance to make a shot.

McGrady leads the ball out to Battier.

Battier made a false move, but Marion saw through and then led the ball out to Brooks.

Brooks saw that the attack time was running out,
McGrady actively moves without the ball,

Swish!
Brooks gave the ball to Tracy McGrady who ran out of space.

"Prevent him!"

Originally thought that McGrady was going to shoot, but saw McGrady throw the ball to the inside unexpectedly. This move came very suddenly. When Nash and others reacted, they saw the basketball thrown to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming jumped up,

Alley-oop,

With a bang, he dunked the basketball into the basket accurately and fiercely, and hit a big climax.

huh~~~
"Yao!"

"Asian Yao!"

"little Giant!"

The fans chanted Yao Ming's name, and many fans also chanted for McGrady. They felt that McGrady's passes and assists were very good!
The faces of Nash, Xiaobawang and others on the field were not very good.

On lineup.

They didn't lose to the Rockets at all, but in terms of cooperation, Nash on the outside and the bully on the inside are a little inferior.

They can't achieve the tacit understanding between Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady!
At this time,
Everyone just found out,
The Rockets have unknowingly entered the state, with Yao Ming as the backbone inside, and McGrady and Battier as the two terrifying scoring forwards on the outside who can score at any time regardless of position or time.

……

sidelines.

On the Suns side, Coach D'Antoni frowned.

This situation is not good.

"The situation on the court should have been gradually reversed when Battier came on the court. Battier's appearance made up for some deficiencies in the outside line and drove the Yao-Mike combination. The Rockets players will play more and more smoothly!"

"Coach Rick Adelman is amazing."

"That's right. The bishop's ability is very strong. Sending Battier will revitalize the backward situation."

"sharp……"

Coach D'Antoni looked up for the remainder of the second quarter.

3 minutes left.

The Rockets' counterattack has been like a long dragon, making it difficult for the Suns to breathe.

Although the score was overtaken by the Rockets by 5 points, this trend is too depressing for the Suns!
D'Antoni stood up decisively and waved his hand to call a timeout.

"Du, I didn't plan to use your hole card so soon, but seeing the trend is not going to work, I decided to send you to play now."

"Nash, you come down and rest. Rest until the second half, and your physical strength is enough to recover."

"Yes, coach."

Duke and Nash said in unison.

Pause back.

"Oh Yao~ Your fellow countryman has finally been sent to play~" McGrady cheered Yao Ming immediately when he saw Du Qi coming up. After speaking, he ran to the point guard regardless of Yao Ming's reaction and answer Brooks, "Abramovich, let's switch defenses, and I'll guard this Asian kid."

"McGrady, this is up to the coach."

"I listen to the coach again, and the coach is not a god. You and I will be fine if you switch defenses."

at this time.

Yao Ming came over: "McGrady, the coach is calling you over."

"..."

McGrady turned his head, his expression suddenly became very obedient, and smiled at Adelman: "Coach, I was talking nonsense just now, don't take it seriously."

"..."

……

Du Qi's appearance aroused the emotions of the fans.

"Du!"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"I've waited until you've thanked all the flowers~"

"Stop arguing! It's really annoying, you are a good landlord and don't fight, you have to watch this Yadu play?!"

"..."

……

of course.

The most excited to see this scene is the Chinese audience!
