Chapter 846 is a little embarrassing
In the final quarter of the game, the Pistons were completely defeated...... The little fire they had accumulated in the first three quarters was directly extinguished by the Nets with a basin of water, without mercy. Griffin's personal abilities infect his teammates.
They gradually found the feeling of the game, but the Nets immediately started to get serious when they saw that their efforts were going to be in vain! For the team that has won the championship for two consecutive seasons, they are still very strong!
As a result, when it came to the back, Brooklyn had all kinds of violent dunks, three-pointers, 10 best shots this week, and after the defense was strengthened, the players on the Pistons' side basically had an expression of "don't play, let's go".
Van Gundy didn't let Griffin off and took a timeout because he had run out. And Griffin has been fighting with the Nets five people to the end, their team lost the game, but won the respect of the Nets players, including the fans at the scene!
For Griffin, there's one thing he's going to do this season, and that's to adjust his mentality. This season, the Pistons are going to give Griffin a salary of $30.92 million!! It can be said that the team treats him as the core player of the team in the future.
It is estimated that such a salary is also quite sincere. In terms of salary, as a Griffin who is no longer young in age, he is already very satisfied. But what he has to face is a fate similar to that of the emperor's uncle. That is, this season's Pistons still do not have the strength to compete for the championship!
Not even the semi-finals. This is still a result that the team can play if he is in good physical condition. By the end of the game, Griffin's sweat was already soaking through his jersey! Williamson and Mozgov didn't mean to let them go at all!
Chen didn't look very happy there, he watched the Griffin game seriously, and nodded from time to time. It would be nice if such a scrappy player could come to the Nets. Unfortunately, the Nets couldn't keep him at the time, and the Clippers easily traded him.
125:109! At the end of the game, without suspense, as the time on the field went to zero, the fans began to leave the seats one after another.
Drummond 12 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists! Jon 15 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists! Griffin 35 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists! Jackson had 9 points and 3 assists, and Smith had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists!
Originally, at the beginning of the game, the Pistons still looked at winning and losing relatively lightly, but in the third quarter, after they closed the score with the opponent, they still had a lot of hope, and they felt that they would be able to overtake Brooklyn immediately!
Mozgov had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists! Okafor had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Williamson had 40 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Daniels had 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and Jeremy Lin had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists! Zhou Qi 10 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists!
After the game, everyone was still surprised by Zhou Qi's data! The highest number of rebounds on the team?! Am you mistaken? In terms of scoring, Zhou Qi is still not very accurate. But he was very active in rebounding, defending and passing to his teammates in tonight's game!
"Do you have any thoughts on Zhou Qi's data tonight?" The reporter immediately asked Harden after receiving the news.
"You mean Zhou Qi? Well, he played well when he was with the Rockets, the coach's arrangement, and we want him to get better, that's why he will temper himself in the NBDL......"
Harden obviously didn't expect reporters to ask about Zhou Qi, and he didn't even know that the Nets had signed Zhou Qi. Originally, the reporters were ready to ask what kind of state they would play if they met the Nets in the Finals this season, but suddenly the reporter's question made his head a little confused for a while......
Chen knew that Zhou Qi's current data didn't say much. However, it is still good whether the team can renew his contract in a month. He has good footwork and a sense of coordination at the moment, so that is a plus for him in the game.
But as the game progresses, the other teams will definitely study how to defend him, how to create obstacles for him, and with his current physical ability, I don't know how far he can play by then.
The Rockets will face the Brooklyn Nets on day three! The two teams that met in the Finals last season are sure to have a good regular season! The Rockets still feel that if they can make it to the Finals, and it happens that the opponent is the Nets, then they will win the championship.
Ever since they learned that Garnett and Rose had left Brooklyn this season, they felt even more so. And in their minds, it feels like whether the Nets can pass the Eastern Conference Finals is unknown.
The Rockets have signed a couple of rookies this season, but it's pretty much a good idea of what they're up against this season. Now the team has reached the finals last season!
So will they be far from the championship? Although the championship is difficult to get, they are still very confident to challenge according to the momentum that Houston has been getting stronger in recent years!
In the last two or three years, the fans' perception of the current place in the team has also changed. The Warriors and Cavaliers are gradually feeling less powerful.
In the West, the Rockets, Pelicans, Nets and Celtics in the East have become some of the teams that have improved significantly in recent years. And the Nets have won two championships among them!
Among the topics discussed this season are whether the Warriors and Cavaliers can enter the Finals, and whether the Nets can win three consecutive championships! Can the Rockets win the championship?
Chen also knew that the opponent he would face next was not on the same level as the Pistons at all! Houston has great players in every position, too! One of the main things they did before the start of the season was how to defend Williamson!
After the Nets left the team, Garnett would first have certain problems with their interior defense, and then if they could prevent Williamson, it felt like the Nets basically had no ability to win against the Rockets!
Thinking of this, Team Rocket is very happy~ The atmosphere at the scene today is very warm! Fans want to see what kind of sparks these two teams can collide when they meet in the regular season!
"It's not just about Williamson in this game, we're going to have to score as much as possible on other points......," said Chen and his assistant coaches, wondering how the Rockets would deal with them.
It feels like the most likely one is Williamson. The player messed with the Rockets' outright loss to the Nets last season. If you guard him, he'll draw attention to you and your teammates, but not Williamson, and the kid will start scoring quickly......
Today's lineup for the Rockets is Anderson, Black, Anthony, Paul, Harden. The Cake Emperor didn't come up. On the Nets' side are Mozgov, Okafor, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Bojan!
The camera was given to Zhou Qi many times tonight, and he looked very thin in his coat. Zhou Qi is somewhat unnatural about the camera giving him. Paul and Anthony also looked at each other from time to time.
At the beginning of the game, Anderson got the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Anthony, and Paul jumped up and hit a three-point shot after getting the basket! No matter how the players have changed over the years, the Rockets' style of play has basically been relatively fixed.
That is to keep the offense aggressive! As long as they are players in the rotation, their individual offense in the game is very sharp! Whether it's Harden or Paul, Ariza or Anthony, they are all very resolute when shooting!
After Paul came to the Rockets, Harden felt like he was going to laugh! Two star-level defenders who are also quite strong have come together! After Harden went from the Thunder to the Rockets, he also proved himself with his personal data!
He participated in the team's fierce attack, and when the team was in a bit of a slump, he still maintained his combat strength and played hard with the opponent! The reason why he has reached the position he is today, the personal performance and his attitude, maybe you can see some of it.
Bojan dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, used Williamson's body directly from Harden as a cover, and then made a quick shot when Anthony didn't rush over, and hit an easy 2-pointer from a long distance!
Chen Ye even had an illusion this season, feeling that there was no need for any run-in among the new players. Bojan and Daniels seemed to have never left the team, playing very relaxed on the field.
A player who sits on the bench a lot is not the same as a starter or first substitute on another team! Harden saw Lin coming over and passed the ball directly to Anthony, who immediately jumped up and scored a three-pointer! 6:2!
As soon as Williamson took over the basketball, the Rockets became vigilant! Facing the defense of Melon, Williamson didn't get too close to him, and after seeing Blake coming, Williamson immediately accelerated past the opponent after a feint and scored an easy layup at Anderson! 6:4!
D'Antoni shook his head slightly, it seems that this guy is still not so easy to defend against him. If this situation is still relatively large, then the Rockets only have a quick offense!
But the head coach of the Rockets doesn't feel like it ends there. He still has to find a way to stop Williamson.
If only there were players like Brother Alphabet, Bushy Eyebrows, and Kawaii...... D'Antoni was a little wistful. Now they have a team like this, there are a lot of players with good physical fitness, but there are very few players who can have the agility of Williamson.
Either the flexibility is good but the physical confrontation is not good, or the confrontation is okay but not flexible enough......
After Melon's three-point score, Boyang immediately got the basketball and passed the half, and Okafor took his ball and quickly scored 2 points! 6:6! The Rockets are about to take a timeout.
"Capella and Ariza, you go up. We need to speed up the pace of offense, if Williamson is difficult to defend, we can not be too obsessed here, pay more attention to interior defense and rebounding, and Capela will pass the ......ball when he has the opportunity."
Some fans of this timeout felt a little inexplicable, and the two teams did not appear to open the score? The Rockets are also playing quite well. The Rockets' coach didn't think so, and the Nets began to find an idea of how to play the Rockets in a few rounds.
He's going to adjust the team right away so that it can be suppressed by the Nets in the first quarter!
"Burke, Zhou Qi is ready, Burke and Bojan can let go of the offense. In this quarter, as long as you keep it and don't let the score open too much...... "Unlike the Pistons, this team also plays well in terms of combat power, which is more terrifying!"
The Nets have to be careful at this point. If you feel like you play hard with the opponent with speed and quick offense, Brooklyn may have problems in the process! If you want to say that you are dragging and fighting, you should still be more sure.
After seeing the cake emperor, Zhou Qi, and Burke coming to the arena one after another, the atmosphere at the scene began to heat up! Zhou Qi was powerless after coming to the Nets, and he performed well in the first game of the preseason or the regular season!
At the beginning of the game, Harden quickly took the ball to the frontcourt, and after Blake got the basketball, he directly pushed Zhou Qi out, and the layup was directly interfered with by Mozgov! Capela throws and scores as soon as he gets the rebound! 8:6!
The problem of physical confrontation immediately appeared! Zhou Qi and Blake competed, and they didn't feel like they were at the power level at all! The reason why Chen let him go up so early was to let him feel that in such a situation, he should pay more attention to the training above in the future!
You don't have to fight each other, but you can't stand the other party coming to you. Burke slowly got the ball to the frontcourt, and now his opponent is either Paul or Harden! A player of this level is still very calm defensively!
After Williamson got the basketball, he made a big move and immediately passed the ball to Zhou Qi in the air, who immediately got up and faced Capela is a violent dunk! The referee's whistle also sounded at this time! Zhou Qi, who was standing next to the free throw line, threw the ball and successfully got 2+1 after hitting the board and putting it into the basket! 9:8!
Zhou Qi gives people the feeling that he looks thin but there is a lot of energy in his body! At that time, Capela made a shot to prevent it, but it couldn't stop Zhou Qi's violent dunk!
In the NBA, such opportunities were quite rare before, but when the opportunity came out, he was still willing to try! Paul quickly dribbled over the half court, and after Blake got the basketball, he immediately threw it and was directly interfered with by Zhou Qi, who suddenly appeared, in the air!
After landing on the ground, he immediately jumped up and stabbed the ball that Capela had just gotten in the air, and then dribbled and ran directly! Bojan saw it and took his ground-hitting pass, and after the consequences, he hit a three-point shot directly in the half without defense! 12:8!
At this time, the Rockets players who were on the scene were a little confused, what was the situation? D'Antoni was also a little surprised to see where he stood with all this that had just happened.
Ariza took the ball from Harden and jumped straight into the half-time for three points! Blake gets the basketball and scores a one-handed dunk! 12:10!
The Rockets, who originally wanted to open the score with the Nets, were now overtaken by the other side...... And the other party's state doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all......
When Burke looked at who to pass to in the frontcourt, he found that it was not a good choice and broke through directly under Paul's defense, and then passed the ball in the air to Mozgov, who dunked directly and scored! 14:10!
Harden didn't choose to pass after getting the serve this time! Bojan's past defense was directly passed! When he was already in the air, behind Blake, suddenly Williamson appeared and covered the ball directly in the air!
Bojan picked up the basketball and picked up the pace, but Ariza had already rushed over! Burke jumped up and shot a long-range three-pointer after receiving Bojan's pass on the other side! 17:10! D'Antoni immediately asked for another timeout.
