Yi Jianlian also looked very excited after dunking, and after landing on the ground, he slapped his chest hard, and directly hit his chest with Reed, the boss of the team who ran over.

Tang Tian walked directly to the end of the bench at this time and called Landry directly.

Scola has already committed two fouls, and at this time, Yi Jianlian's state is hot again, and if he goes to Novak again, it is purely to give away points.

The coaching staff's decisions are made by the coaching staff, and as a manager, he knows how to be improvised.

Landry heard Tang Tian call himself, jumped up from his seat suddenly, and stripped off his training clothes in a second, he could see that he was always ready.

"Yi was surprisingly good tonight, Scola has two more fouls now, and Millsap's absence has left the Rockets a little stretched on power forward." On the commentary seat, Miller opened his mouth to analyze.

"Don is now replaced by this year's rookie Karl Landry, who is making his first appearance in the regular season this season, and I don't know if he can withstand it." Brin said after seeing the Rockets' sideline substitutions.

"It's a bit difficult, this rookie named Landry is only 2.01 meters tall, and he is at least a head behind Yi." Miller said and shook his head.

"It looks like tonight's game will be a lot tougher than expected." Brin nodded approvingly.

Yi Jianlian was about to go to the free throw line, a short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Landry came on the court to replace Scola, who had already committed two fouls.

"Don, will there be a problem with Upper Karl?" Thibodeau turned his head to look at Tang Tian at this time and said.

"No, it won't." Tang Tian replied lightly, he knew Thibodeau's doubts, after all, his decision just now was different from the coaching staff, but he knew that Landry had been practicing hard, and he deserved such an opportunity.

Thibodeau heard the affirmation in Tang Tian's tone, so he didn't ask any more questions, but set his eyes on the field.

After Yi Jianlian hit a free throw, the Bucks overtook the score 9-8.

Yi Jianlian made all 3 shots after the opening, and he has scored 7 points in a row, and he is in hot shape.

The Rockets' offense, Billups carries the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

The Bucks are still defending the same defensive formation.

Landry received the ball from mid-range and he opted to shoot straight away.

"Bang!"

The shot was a bit long, but after hitting the back edge of the basket, it bounced and went in.

The Rockets continued to score gains.

On the offense of the Bucks, Williams saw that the Rockets did not use Yao Ming to defend Yi Jianlian, and then signaled the other players to open up the space and continue to hand the ball to Yi Jianlian in the low post to play alone.

Yi Jianlian directly chose to turn around to the bottom corner after hitting twice.

Landry stuck in the position in advance, although he was not as good as Scola in ability, but his body and confrontation ability were much stronger than Scola.

Yi Jianlian has excellent physical fitness, but his confrontation ability is weak, and he stops as soon as he turns around.

Landry made a steal, Yi Jianlian hurriedly passed the ball, and was cut off by Billups.

The Rockets played a fast break, Maddy received a long pass from Billups in the backcourt, quickly rushed to the frontcourt, jumped up and smashed the frame with one hand.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the Toyota Center was instantly ignited.

Tang Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is considered to be in the middle even in the NBA, and the feel of the rookie period is also soft, and the explosion after the opening is a proof, but in comparison, the ball quotient is a little worse, just now, if you change Nowitzki, if you meet someone who is so much shorter than yourself, you must turn around and lean back, even if Landry wants to defend, it is impossible to interfere with the height and arm span.

Yi Jianlian failed to make a single shot, and the Bucks immediately changed their offensive tactics.

That's how rookies are treated.

Reed and Bogut play pick-and-rolls.

The Bogut is tall and big, and completely blocks Maddie and the whole person.

Reed, the Bucks' top player, has been underrated for his breakthrough ability in addition to an excellent three-point hand.

At this time, after borrowing the block to dismantle and kill in, he quickly stepped up, accelerated the Yao Ming who changed defenses, and jumped to the basket to make a small throw in the low post.

"Smack!"

At that moment, a hand flew out of the diagonal side, slapping the ball down before he could make a move.

Landry!

Because of his short arm span, Landry doesn't have much blocking ability, but this ball, he relied on actively shooting the ball!

The racket flew to the weak side, hit Mason's back and bounced to the ground.

When Landry saw it, he took a leap and swooped down to grab the ball, and after grabbing it, he clung to the ball for the first time.

Mason turned around and wanted to grab the ball, but Landry was quick and saw Maddie running over, and threw the ball over with a flick of his hand.

Maddie took the ball to protect it, and the Rockets managed to play another successful defense!

Cheers and whistles rang out non-stop.

This rookie named Landry is so likable!

Tang Tian couldn't help but stretch out his hand to applaud at this time.

Small roles can make a big difference, and Landry did very well in his first appearance.

The Rockets' offense, Maddy shook off Reed from the outside and broke through to the restricted area, and Yao Ming threw a pass.

Maddie's signature pull-up jumper.

Reed, who was behind him, chased the ball in place and jumped up from behind to successfully interfere with Maddie's shot.

"Bang!"

Maddy's shot was missed, and Bogut was closer to the basket because he was a top defender, and after getting stuck on Yao Ming, he turned around to grab the rebound.

But at this moment, a figure shot out of the diagonal side like lightning, jumped up like a monkey, and directly pocketed the rebound.

Or Landry!

He grabbed the rebound and hit the board straight away.

Ball in!

"It's incredible, every rookie on the Rockets always surprises, and honestly, this rookie named Landry reminds me of the Rockets' Paul Millsap last year, the same short insider, the same blockbuster." Brin was full of praise.

"Yes, it's incredible." Miller nodded as well.

"Don, your judgment leaves people speechless every time." Thibodeau turned his head and smiled at this time, and it turned out that his worries were too much.

Tang Tian smiled and didn't speak.

There is still a gap between Landry and Millsap, the most obvious difference is the arm span, which is the so-called talent, short inside and short arm span, which dooms him to not have a too good career, but at least for now, he makes up for it with aggressive running and scrambling to win playing time for himself.

The NBA is fiercely competitive, and more than a dozen or even hundreds of thousands of professional athletes around the world have sharpened their heads and drilled into the NBA, the largest platform, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter this league.

And even if you enter, there are few opportunities to play.

Tang Tian gave Landry a chance, Landry seized it, and the opportunity became an opportunity.
