At 9:30 local time in Dallas, the game officially began.

Rockets starting: center Dayao, power forward Luis Scola, small forward Battier, point guard Alston, shooting guard Tracy McGrady.

Mavericks starting lineup: center Dampier, power forward Huo Ershu, small forward Jiang Hao, point guard Harris, shooting guard Stackhouse.

Mavericks bench, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard on crutches to cheer, Terry, Barea gearing up.

Owner Cuban is also on the sidelines.

It's just that the position belonging to the general manager is empty.

Obviously, Nelson Jr. hasn't been released yet.

The firepower of the Rockets' bench is obviously more luxurious.

The African mountain Mutombo led, Bunch Wells, the little black bean Brooks, and Landry lined up.

Before the opening game, players from both sides greeted each other.

Those who are friendly bump fists and hugs, and those who are not friendly nod their heads.

The camera is chasing two people.

Yao Ming and Jiang Hao.

I saw Yao Ming and the Mavericks players lightly touching their palms to say hello one by one, but Jiang Hao was the only one who passed by.

Jiang Hao knew it in his heart, met Yao Ming's eyes, and smiled slightly.

Yao Ming seemed a little ashamed, avoiding Jiang Hao's gaze.

The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.

jump ball!

The basketball was thrown into the air by the referee.

Yao Ming and Dampier took off almost at the same time. The height of Dampier's feet from the ground was obviously higher than that of Yao Ming, but looking up, Yao Ming's fingertips were slightly higher than Dampier.

The "snap" was the first to catch the ball, Yao Ming dialed the ball, McGrady held it firmly, and handed it to Alstom.

Streetball king Alstom, the king of street basketball, the nerve knife of the NBA.

nerve knife.

Initiated nerves to stab himself with a knife.

Alston dribbled the ball forward with one hand, while yelling, directing his teammates to move.

The Rockets coached by Adelman are playing the Princeton system this season.

No matter what star player you are, you have to run for me and play moving basketball.

Jiang Hao's position is still small forward, facing Sean Battier.

Battier, who was born in 78, entered the NBA after graduating from college at the age of 23.

Regardless of Battier's 23-year-old rookie, the pick is very high.

The No. 6 pick in the first round.

Graduated from Duke University, a prestigious basketball school, after four years of study, and is one of the top four all-around fighters in NCAA history.

Rookie Shane Battier is a complete hexagonal combat power.

Battier, who came to the Rockets, at the age of 29, has completed the transformation.

The offensive end plays the role of a fixed-point three-point shooter, and the defensive end is a versatile player who marks, steals, blocks, screens, and covers.

In addition, I have to mention that Battier's playing is actually quite dirty, and he is keen on talking~

Jiang Hao understands Battier's characteristics.

The Rockets are attacking in a position. No matter where Battier catches the ball, 80% of his shots are in the bottom corner.

Now, Battier is crouching in the corner.

Jiang Hao pretended not to care, and kept his distance from Shane Battier, his peripheral vision was good, and he paid attention to the rocket's passing route.

In the Princeton system, people run and pass the ball.

Going around, the ball is suddenly given to Battier in the bottom corner.

Jiang Hao didn't stick tight, Battier took advantage of the situation and directly scored a three-pointer!

The Rockets also watched the Mavericks game video before the game.

Jiang Hao's strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

Defensive steals are extinct, but there are no statistics for blocked shots.

Therefore, Battier has absolute self-confidence.

My three-pointer is accurate, and your blocks are equal to 0.

Battier made the shot confidently, Jiang Hao had been prepared for a long time, and with a thought, the block stunt started immediately.

Jiang Hao's two legs bounced off the ground like springs, and his arms rushed forward. It was not a conventional cover-blocking posture at all!

"Bang!!!"

The ball Battier had just shot was like picking a peach, it was picked by Jiang Hao with both hands!

Battier was immediately dumbfounded.

All the players on the field were stunned.

As soon as Jiang Hao's foot landed, he immediately accelerated forward.

Battier was the first to react and chased after him.

Jiang Hao's whole body was like a flash of lightning, he hit the rocket's basket in the blink of an eye, and made an easy layup.

2:0! ! !

The Mavericks scored first.

The ball was scored, and Battier chased after him panting.

After the attack was successful, Jiang Hao teased Battier with a smile, "Are you surprised?"

If "Yao Mai" is the dual core of the Rockets, Battier is the boss of the Rockets locker room.

In fact, Battier is almost equivalent to the assistant coach of the Rockets. His understanding of the basketball game is not inferior to that of the head coach.

Jiang Hao's block just now completely exceeded the expectations of the entire Rockets team.

"Impossible, I must be slow, a rookie can't block shots, it must be fooled!"

Battier carefully studied Jiang Hao's game video and came to this judgment.

The same is true for the judgment of other Rockets players.

The Rockets attack again.

Battier gets the ball again from the baseline.

Jiang Hao's defense still let him go.

but,

Putting it back, Jiang Hao looked at Battier with sharp eyes.

Battier's heart trembled.

He didn't dare to shoot, and he chose to dribble.

He even added a word: "fuk, you think I can only vote—"

Before the basket was shot, the crotch felt chilly with a "snap", and the ball was cut off by Jiang Hao.

This time Harris could react.

Jiang Hao steals the ball, and Harris, who is at the top of the arc, rushes forward.

"Whoosh" Jiang Hao slammed hard, assisted Harris for a layup and made a layup, 4:0! ! !

"McGrady! McGrady!" Adelman shouted suddenly, "You swing to the small forward!"

Ah Shuai couldn't stand it.

In the pre-match analysis meeting, Battier faced Jiang Hao, and Ah Shuai was the most reassuring.

Although Yao Mai is the core, Battier is the most stable player in the Rockets, not one of them.

Second, Battier's defense is the best. Against Jiang Hao, who has the most firepower of the Mavericks, McGrady can let go of his attack.

But it happened to be the most stable Battier, who was blown up at the beginning.

Being slapped in the face by the rookie continuously, being called by Ah Shuai to switch positions, Battier's old face turned red.

【Ding!+1000 from Shane Battier, +1000 from Shane Battier]

Just at the beginning, the Rockets' pre-match tactics were disrupted by Jiang Hao.

The coach asked himself to face Jiang Hao, and McGrady felt a little bit drummed: I haven't seen him for a few days, and the rookie's arsenal is so rich, it's hard to deal with.

【Ding!From McGrady +500]

"Pfft~" Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: "Maizi, we won't do it."

The Rockets served from the bottom line and came over for the third time.

After hearing what the coach said, McGrady and Battier changed positions and came to Jiang Hao.

"Maizi, we are really destined, will we play the second half today?"

"You!" McGrady knew that Jiang Hao was teasing himself about the last game, but the facts were there, and it was difficult to stare.

After all, he was also the two-time scoring champion in the NBA, so McGrady directly asked for the ball!

Seeing that Tracy McGrady wanted the ball, Alston quickly passed the ball obediently.

After getting the ball, McGrady reached out to support Jiang Hao with one hand, grabbed the ball with the other hand and pulled it to the far end, posing his most coquettish pose.

This is the tactical language of stars.

This posture of catching the ball with one hand and facing the defender is McGrady's tactical language.

It means that I am going to play singles, and my teammates will pull me away.

Including Yao Ming, the Rockets' four players all moved to the weak side.

"Damn!" Shuai cursed fiercely on the sidelines, staring angrily, and said in his heart, "I've never heard of this McGrady. This is still called Mao's Princeton, and this damn."
