The game went on, and after Don Shuai forced Lawson with his back to eat a goal, Bierstaff made an early personnel change, replacing Thorton with KJ McDaniels.

After Brewer was traded, the only people the Rockets could really do on the defensive end were Beverley and Ariza, but both of them were starters on the team, and they were all sitting off the court at this time, and if they were allowed to play early, it would be difficult to guarantee their physical strength after the fourth quarter.

It is normal for Bill Staff to use McDaniels, on the one hand, the team dares to trade Brewer just to make McDaniels grow, on the other hand, although the playing time in the Rockets is limited, but after all, he has proven himself when he was with the 76ers, and it is not too deliberate to make it difficult for him to play against Tang Shuai, a rookie.

There is nothing wrong with Bill Staff's thoughts, McDaniels is also excited to see the coach let him play, he has played on the bench and the NBDL for too long, he is too eager to play, Brewer was already eager to try when he was traded, and now he is really named, how can he not be excited.

But when Bilstaff called him to his side before he came on the court, stretched out his finger and pointed at Tang Shuai and told him to defend, his face changed suddenly, how ugly and ugly it was.

Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, after being taught a hard lesson by Tang Shuai in the NBDL, his memory of Tang Shuai could not be deep, and even left a psychological shadow, I thought that the abuse would be over once, but I never expected that the first game back from the NBDL would be the bitter master of defense.

Billstaff noticed McDaniels' expression and asked, "Difficult?" ”

Yes! Quite there!

McDaniels had a voice in his heart that kept shouting. But when he really waited for him to speak, he took a deep breath and said, "No problem. Instructor! ”

After all, he is a professional player, and the task assigned by the coach must be completed no matter how difficult it is. This is an awareness that an NBA player should have had a long time ago, and it is really coming to an end, he would rather try to defend it again, he doesn't believe that in the NBA, Tang Shuai can still play as freely as he did in the NBDL.

"Well, go ahead." Bill Staff didn't say much, patted McDaniels, and then motioned for him to hurry up.

Booker was fouled on the defensive end just now and entered dead ball time.

Tang Shuai heard a whistle on the sidelines. When he looked up and saw Thorton being replaced by McDaniels, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

McDaniels noticed Tang Shuai's smile, and his whole heart was inexplicably cold.

The game on the court continued, Booker still seemed inexperienced on the defensive end, the foul just now did not count, this time Lawson used the breakthrough of the block, seeing that there was no space for the layup, Booker was anxious to steal, and as a result, he paid for another foul.

And by this time it was already the end of the festival. He is the Clippers' fifth foul of the tournament and is about to go to the free throw line.

Booker shook his head in annoyance.

Tang Shuai walked over and stretched out his hand to comfort him a few words, he didn't know much about Booker. But after scanning it with the packing system, he found that Booker actually still has a lot of potential, and he is also a rookie. Already has a purple trio, albeit the weaker one. But it's already very good for a rookie to have that level.

There is also the ball quotient, during the confrontation. He could feel that Booker's ball intelligence was not much worse than his, and that all he lacked was game experience.

After all, he is the only one who has a packaging system and can know the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents, and other rookies need to accumulate games to get it if they want to understand it.

Lawson walked to the free throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws, and at 27:32, the Rockets trailed the Clippers by five points.

The Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai held the ball forward, and as expected, McDaniels had already opened his hands before he passed halftime.

Tang Shuai glanced at the defeated generals of his former subordinates, although he didn't mean to look down on him, but when he thought of the scene when McDaniels spewed trash talk at him, he couldn't help but say: "KJ, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

McDaniels' face sank and he suddenly tried to steal the ball.

Tang Shuai dribbled the ball back, and then used his body against McDaniels to prevent him from having another chance to steal.

When he regained his grip on the ball, he beckoned his teammates to run, and McDaniels didn't mean to talk trash to him anymore, and he didn't need to provoke him.

Booker and Brewer came out of the pocket, and he followed up and passed the ball to Booker.

Booker is still very smart in playing, although the running position is not as skillful as Tang Shuai, but the victory lies in speed and quick reaction, and the defense of him is the veteran Terry, who is obviously a little unable to keep up with the footsteps.

Although Tang Shuai is a green pass bag, this kind of empty pass is not much difficult, Booker raised his hand directly after receiving the ball.

Although Booker's three-point skill package is not as perverted as Tang Shuai's, it still reaches 75%, which is only a little weaker than Redick's.

The three-point shot was very fast, and Terry's defense was still a little slower after all, and he could only watch the basketball fly out.

The basketball makes a perfect arc through the air.

"Wow", three-point shot!

Tang Shuai picked up an easy assist.

Booker looked very excited after hitting the three-pointer, and ran over to high-five Tang Shuai.

Although this three-point shot is not very difficult, he is still very excited to score points in the first appearance of the Clippers, knowing that when he was with the Suns, he did not have such a comfortable opportunity to shoot.

Tang Shuai looked at Booker's youthfulness, as if recalling the scene when he hit a three-pointer in the first game, and vaguely saw the original figure from Booker's body.

After Booker's three-point shot, the score on the court became 27:35, and the margin was already in double digits.

Bilstaff's brows couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Tang Shuai to attack again at this time, but to use passing, this unpredictable style of play is really unguardable.

In contrast, McDaniels breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Shuai's pass made his defensive pressure greatly reduced.

The Rockets turned around and handed the ball to Morris in the low post, Morris hit his back twice, and passed to Terry who cut in the air in a second, and the old Terry used his experience to deceive Smith who was making up the defense, and a light look back at the moon and scored 2 points on a rebound, which was considered to stabilize the situation for the Rockets.

"Defend! Defend! ”

There was a frantic shout from the fans as there were 15 seconds left in the first quarter.

After Tang Shuai held the ball to the front court, he looked up at the time of the game, handed the ball to Booker, and then ran to the low post to lean on McDaniels, and then reached out to make a gesture to ask for the ball.

Seeing this move, like the NBDL audience at the beginning, the fans at the scene were restless.

Even Bill Staff's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

McDaniels felt the power coming from Tang Shuai's body, and his face turned black all of a sudden.

This should come or come...... (To be continued.) )
