The home of the Warriors, Oracle Arena.

The Chinese derby attracted a large number of fans to watch the game, and there were many players above the All-Star level of both teams, which were full of selling points for viewing and topicality.

CCTV5 also broadcast the game, and Cai Nan was a guest in the studio as the guest commentator of the game.

After the "Basketball Pioneer" became popular, Cai Nan's career increased greatly, and in the domestic basketball commentary, he gradually climbed to a very high position, which is comparable to some veteran basketball commentators.

Cai Nan still hugged Yang Di's thighs, which is also a major feature and slot of his commentary style, and many fans say that Cai Nan is Yang Di's first dog leg in China.

Cai Nan said with a smile: "Last season, the Rockets lost to the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, and they regarded the Warriors as their biggest opponent on the way to winning the championship. ”

Yang Jian silently despised Cai Nan, but with a smile on his face, he echoed: "That's true, the Rockets have increased the thickness of the forward position, and they also have their own way to crack the Warriors' run-and-bomb tactics. ”

On the field, the starters of both sides have already stood up.

The Warriors are at home, wearing a white jersey, while the Rockets are wearing a classic red.

Warriors starters: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Trevor Ariza, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

Danny Granger has suffered a number of injuries this season and has missed a number of games, and Ariza has been the starter, although the offensive end is not as big as Danny Granger's contribution, but the defensive end is very powerful, helping the Warriors complete another style.

Rockets starters: Ralph Alstom, Maddy, Ron Artest, Luis Scola, Yao Ming.

After Ron Artest came to the Rockets, Sean Battier naturally reduced his role, not only from a starter to a substitute, but also reduced his playing time, from an average of about 35 minutes per game to an ordinary rotation player with an average of 20 minutes per game.

Older rookie Luis Scola has been eye-catching, securing the Rockets' starting power forward position after January.

"You must be in the spirit of 120,000 points, Yang Di's attack is too powerful, and if he relaxes a little, he may find an opportunity to complete the attack destructively." Van Gundy told Luis Scola to be vigilant and focus on defense, but he was really sweating, and Scola was a little weaker, could he do such a task?

Scola Alexander, compared Yang Di's strong arms, and thought to himself that it was better to continue to play as a substitute!

At the start of the match, Tyson Chandler did not jump to win against Yao Ming.

In the first round of the Rockets' offense, Alston controlled the ball forward, dribbled the ball easily under his crotch, exchanged his right hand to his left hand, and moved forward with his shoulders heavy, making a tentative breakthrough move.

Byron took a small step back and adjusted his focus to defend Alstom.

Ralph Alstom's ability to dribble was speechless, he pulled the ball back with his left hand, stood still and did not move, observed the situation on the court, and then handed it to Maddie, who came out to receive the ball on the wing.

Maddie didn't wave, and Yao Ming ran out to block the dismantling by himself.

Yao Mai's blocking and pick-and-roll is very classic, Maddy is one step outside the three-point line, and the three threats are waiting for players to rush him, especially players like Trevor Ariza, who are very positive.

Yao Ming stood on his left side with his hands down.

Maddy held the ball in one hand, lifted the basketball and looked at the basket, staring at the Warriors' No. 1 as if Ariza was not naturally playing against him.

Maddie landed with the ball in her right hand, hit the ground and then switched to her left hand, and at the same time, took a big step with her right foot to the left, and the whole person formed a cross-step breakthrough situation.

Yao Ming just took advantage of the situation to block and block the defending Ariza.

Maddie dribbled into the three-point line, misplaced on Chandler, shook his left hand slightly, and the whole person jumped sideways to continue to go deep to the left.

Yang Di did his homework before the game, looked at Maddie, who had already entered with a puff of smoke, and secretly observed Scola again.

Luis Scola is about the same height as Yang Di, a big forward with mid-range shooting ability, and the mid-range shooting is very stable, which is the characteristic of players from Europe.

Maddie didn't get much pressure when he came in, and it wasn't until under the basket that Yang Di let go of Scola to defend Maddie.

At this time, Yang Di made sure that Maddie had no space to pass the ball, Maddie was strong against Yang Di, with a good position advantage, and his long arms avoided Yang Di's blockade and picked it lightly.

After hitting the basketball board, he stumbled a few times on the basket and fell into the basket.

At 2-0, the Rockets scored their first offense and led the Warriors.

Yang Di glanced at Maddie with surprise, and said that Maddie's state was declining, but this small pick-up kung fu was really powerful.

Byron with the ball from the outside.

Yang Di had no intention of playing alone, and Byron held the ball to face Alstom.

This is a good breakthrough, when the Warriors analyzed before the game, they focused on the Rockets' No. 1 and No. 4 positions, both of which are the Warriors' offensive strengths with the ball, and the Rockets' defense is the weakest.

Byron dribbled the ball under his hips continuously, dribbling back and forth.

Yang Di wanted to come up to block and dismantle Byron, but halfway through the run, when he saw Byron's gesture, he pretended to step forward to block and dismantle, and directly withdrew one by one.

Byron threw the ball and Luis Scola had just run out to delay Byron when he found himself out of position.

After receiving the ball, Yang Di directly hit the rocket frame, Yao Ming made up for the defense, and Yang Di passed the ball in a semi-throwing posture and sent a fast air relay pass.

Chandler smashed the dunk directly after the air relay, and he liked this kind of pie-feeding offense the most.

In the past few years of Tyson Chandler's time with the Warriors, his offensive means have been further weakened, and now he is basically only left with dunks and strong offense under the basket, although he has few skills, he has a high concentration and shooting percentage has skyrocketed, and last season, he was the player with the highest shooting percentage in the league.

2 to 2, Rockets attacked.

It was still Maddy who held the ball on the outside, and after this time the block was completed, the Warriors actively switched defenses, and Tyson Chandler delayed Maddy's dribble.

Maddie didn't find the opportunity to insert the needle, Yao Ming fell to the low post, Maddie lobed the ball high, Yao Ming got the ball with his back, and singled out Tyson Chandler.

Chandler blushed, last year's Western Finals, he was directly beaten by Yao Ming, and he has always regarded Yao Ming as his major defensive challenge, and he will go all out every time.

Yao Ming paused for two seconds with the ball, then leaned over with his back.

The massive body seemed like a moving mountain, slamming against Chandler's arm and chest.

"Bang!"

Chandler snorted, his arm tingling.

Yao Ming's left foot is the axis, and his right foot draws a circle counterclockwise, and the whole person turns over on the right side and jumps out.

Chandler couldn't interfere with jumping, and watched Yao Ming use an extremely soft touch.

"Huh!"

As if silently, the basketball went directly into the net.
