Douglas took the ball and ran quickly towards the Knicks' half, the Rockets pushed up, Douglas immediately pulled to the top of the arc, Delfino sank to the bottom corner of the weak side, Morris and Asik also stayed away from the box to give space near the box to Harden.

Harden took advantage of this opportunity to immediately get in the away position, and Douglas passed the basketball to Harden.

Harden took the ball with his back to the ball and started to play with his back, Douglas and Delfino pulled space outside the three-point line, and Morris and Asik waited for an opportunity to cut into the air.

Belineri was originally facing Harden's defensive pressure, but at this time, Morris and Asik were still running back and forth behind him, and Belineri's defensive attention was a little unfocused.

It was at this point that Harden succinctly dribbled to the right and laid a shoulder on Baileyneri.

Bailineri is also a good force, but the footsteps of being hit by Harden staggered, and just when Bailineri's feet were unstable, Harden suddenly jumped up, and it was a crisp jumper.

With Harden's soft wrist shaking, the basketball landed cleanly in the Knicks' basket.

The great thing about Harden's jump shot is that Harden himself has a strong confrontation ability, just like a small stone, smashing it in the east and smashing it in the west, and ordinary players can't carry him. In addition, Harden's skills are also very good, and the speed of the bullet is very fast, and he pulls it out all of a sudden, and the average player can't keep up with his speed.

To say that Harden's bounce can't catch up with Maddy Carter's jump height, but the speed of the bounce alone is better than the speed of pulling up to the highest point, and no one is more powerful than Harden.

Both teams scored in the opening game in a similar way, with small mid-range shots near the penalty area.

While cheering at home in Houston, the Knicks also quickly pushed over, and the Knicks are not a purely traditional team.

At this time, Dragic still passed the basketball to Li Feng first, and the moment Li Feng took the ball, Delfino posted it again.

Li Feng took the ball at this time and looked at his teammates first. Seeing that his teammates didn't have a good chance, he didn't let Delfino go.

Delfino is shorter than Li Feng, has a weak physique, and has a difference in height. Li Feng doesn't need anything too complicated to play Delfino, a simple crotch dribble, and then take a step towards the middle, just above the free throw line, and pull up a direct middle jumper on Delfino's head.

Delfino had no choice but to watch Li Feng make a move, the physical gap between him and Li Feng was too big.

Li Feng scored on a comfortable jumper in the opening game. The Knicks haven't waited to celebrate! This time, the rocket suddenly hit a fast one.

After Douglas got the ball, he quickly ran towards the Knicks' half, and Douglas, a calm point guard, suddenly brought the pace up.

Before everyone's heads could react, Douglas went to the outside of the Knicks' three-point line, made a fake pass, and swung the ball towards the audience.

Dragic immediately stepped to the side, and when Dragic stepped back, Douglas pulled up a three-point shot.

Douglas's three-point shot is unreasonable according to the academic point of view, and the Rockets have no player in front of Douglas.

But that's what Douglas did. And as soon as he shot a three-point shot, he smashed into the opponent's basket safely.

"Brush!"

Douglas also got off to a good start as the Rockets took a 5-4 lead over the Knicks after two rounds.

At the beginning of today, the two teams showed their true skills inside and out, and the two teams basically completed the trial.

When the Knicks took the ball and pushed it back, they had already found a flaw. Li Feng came out to get the ball and immediately continued to beat Delfino.

Seeing that Li Feng is coming up again, the way for the Rockets to win before was to contain Li Feng, how could Delfino let Li Feng score easily. He immediately made a foul and beat Li Feng down without waiting for Li Feng to score.

And McHale took advantage of the opportunity. Immediately replaced Delfino with James Mortiyunas.

Speaking of which, this Morty Yunas is really a treasure that the Rockets picked up this season, and Morty Yunas is a player that the Rockets picked up from the Spurs.

Mortiyunas was completely out of position when he was at the Spurs, and it is important to know that the Spurs at that time were a team that relied heavily on a small number of main players to play.

There is a very small chance that young people will want to get ahead of themselves. And the team was focusing on developing George Hill at the time, so Morty Yunas didn't perform at all.

In this way, the Rockets picked up Morty Yunas to Houston very cheaply, and Houston happened to be short of outside linemen at this time.

Mortiyunas came in and was tough on the defensive end and solid on the offensive end, which is just right as a role addition to the team. So Morty Yunas naturally turned waste into treasure, and when he arrived at the Rockets, he won time to play. Now McHale saw that Delfino couldn't bear Li Feng at all, so he immediately sent Morty Yunas to the court.

In today's game, the Rockets, who were playing at home, took the lead in adjusting, which was beyond Reggie Miller's expectations.

At this time, Reggie Miller jokingly said:

"Could it be that Douglas brainwashed McHale too! When did this old man start to pay attention to defense, this is not like what he does! ”

Reggie Miller's words are interesting, but it is also a fact that according to McHale's style in the past, he should have been dismissive of defense, but now he has taken the initiative to make adjustments on the defensive end, which is a very big change, and it also shows that the Rockets have changed from the overall style of crazy offense to the concept of offensive and defensive balance.

The Knicks came back from the sidelines, and Li Feng saw that the person who defended him was replaced by Morty Yunas, who was a pure defensive engineer type player.

He moves quickly, has a solid defensive style, and more importantly, Mortiyunas is naturally strong in his lower body and will never lose his position in normal times.

Li Feng took the ball up and tested it, and immediately felt that the opponent was a very difficult defender, especially the strength of the lower limbs.

Just when Li Feng encountered an unexpected sniper, Dragic quickly cut in from the three-point line.

Li Feng happened to pass the ball to Dragic, and Dragic took a step up with the ball, but saw the Rockets' inside double monster Asik and Morris sandwiching together.

Although Morris and Asik both have shortcomings, they are two iron gates on the defensive end, and Dragic saw this and hurriedly passed the ball out to Cousins, who pulled out the ball.

Cousins took the ball and gracefully hit a two-point shot, and the Knicks' scoring didn't stall.

The Knicks only succeeded in attacking, and the Rockets immediately hit an empty cut. Harden opened up space with the ball with his back. Suddenly passed the ball to Asik, who cut in from the air, Asik rushed into the box and made a feint to fool Monroe, and he scored with a basket himself.

The Knicks have a flexible and fast shooting strategy and a skillful low-post offense, and the Rockets have Harden's strong inside and outside set-up and two interior cuts.

The two teams started to play a half-pound and a half-tael in the first quarter, and today both teams played both offense and defense, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

In the middle of the first quarter, the two teams played 15-15 without points, and the two teams not only played inextricably in this game, but also played a wonderful game, both offensive and defensive. This kind of game is the best to watch, and although the actual effect of playing that kind of entangled game with the Spurs is good, it does not have the effect of watching.

But today the Knicks and the Rockets played very spectacle. The game was fierce and good-looking.

Playing this effect, Bill Wharton, who was on the sidelines, said in disbelief:

"I can't believe it! Douglas is no worse than Harden as a role player! ”

Reggie Miller also deeply agrees with Bill Wharton's amazement, many things in this alliance seem unbreakable, but all kinds of miracles often happen. A most ordinary player can change the fate of a team, and a hopeless team can become a powerful iron army because of one person.

These things are possible and happening all the time.

Just when the Knicks and Rockets were playing hot, the situation changed, and the Rockets first began to replace the bench players.

This time, the Rockets traded Francis Garcia for Asik. In this way, the rocket suddenly became a large and four small lineup, and the height of the rocket was weakened, but the offense was significantly sharper.

Although McHale now attaches great importance to defense, McHale is still an offensive maniac in his bones.

A team that makes adjustments faster on the pitch. will definitely be the first to taste the sweetness, and the Knicks will not be the first to adapt after the Rockets change this small man lineup.

Because after the Rockets changed the small lineup, Cousins and Monroe are bound to have one person who needs to pull out to defend Harden.

The height difference between these two and Harden is too great to keep up with Harden's rhythm at all.

Harden casually pulled out. Cousins had no choice but to chase it out, and the Knicks' defensive position was pulled apart.

Faced with such an opportunity, Douglas immediately passed the ball to Mortiyunas, who cut towards the basket.

It's true that Morty Yunas doesn't have a strong talent for bouncing. But this man has a strong lower body, and dares to rush, take the ball and rush up to a tough dribble to kill Belineri, and then suddenly turn and shoot, after knocking Belineri away, Mortiyunas easily scored two points.

The Rockets took advantage of it first, and soon when the Knicks turned around and tried to use their height advantage to attack, they found that there was no chance at all.

It turned out that the Rockets used Harden to defend Monroe, and Morris still defended Cousins. Monroe has height but no offensive ability, and the Knicks' height advantage can't be played at all.

In this situation, Belineri's attempt to single Francis Garcia was unfortunately not very successful, and as the league's famous microwave, Garcia's performance on the defensive end was actually very hard. It wasn't easy to tear apart Garcia's defense at the level of Pelineri's singles.

And just when Belineri's shot missed, the Rockets immediately grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.

This time, because the Rockets changed the lineup of small men, the speed of the counterattack really seemed to be like lightning, and the Rockets ran several people together, none of them ran into the three-point line, almost all of them stood outside the three-point line.

In this way, in an instant, the Knicks didn't know how to defend Dawson, but the Rockets were smooth and fast to pass the ball.

Douglas took the ball and passed it to Harden, Harden made a quick pass to Francis Garcia, Smith was defending him in the open space, and Belineri was half a step away from Smith, and a half-step was a good shot for Garcia.

Garcia jumped up and threw a three-pointer, and Belineri's defense seemed to be useless in front of him, and the three-point shot landed accurately in the Knicks' basket.

Changing this small man lineup, the Rockets' offense suddenly became sharp. This level of sharpness is terrifying.

At this time, the bench strength of the Rockets really came into play, and the Rockets did have more offensive players on the offensive end.

Seeing the opponent playing such a small lineup, the interior offense is really not expected. Li Feng also reacted quickly, and immediately realized that even if the Rockets' small lineup did not suffer a loss, he would lose his height and defensive advantage when defending inside, if Morris had Howard-level interior defense, the Rockets would still be able to guard the basket, but Morris was obviously not moving and bouncing enough after being injured.

Li Feng realized this and immediately called Cousins to cover, and Cousins quickly pulled it out and blocked it for Li Feng.

Li Feng immediately broke through to the basket, and Mortiyunas had the advantage of being blocked once the next set was now blocked. His advantage is gone, Li Feng quickly got rid of Morty Yunas in the face of Marcus Morrison, Li Feng accelerated, and got close to the basket in two small steps in a row, Li Feng got up and made a pull-up layup easily.

After Li Feng scored, he immediately whistled proudly, and at this time Li Feng also thought that he had found the weakness of the rocket, and it was really easy to break through the rocket's basket with cover.

Li Feng succeeded on the offensive end, but he forgot what the rocket had become since Yao Ming left, and the rocket was a crazy attacker. Attacking a team that doesn't want to die. It's not a big deal for them to drop two points, they just need to get three points back.

Just after Li Feng scored, the Rockets immediately kicked off quickly in the backcourt, and Douglas quickly advanced with the ball.

Douglas killed. Immediately the first pass point was given to Harden, who is now the power forward and the No. 4 position, which is the most misplaced point.

As long as he opens it, the whole team will inevitably open it.

So Douglas' first choice was Harden. Harden took the ball on Monroe's side and defended seriously, and he immediately saved, but his footsteps were compared to Harden's reputation.

Harden passed Monroe in one cross-step. followed the baseline to the Knicks basket, and it was a one-handed dunk.

The Knicks can score, the Rockets can score, and the Rockets are used to attacking shirtless and many.

Tyberdeau's tactics are not a desperate offensive tactic, he saw that the dislocation on the field was too big, and immediately called a timeout, since McHale can make substitutions, then he can also make substitutions.

Tyberdou immediately adjusted the staffing of the interior line, replacing Monroe and Cousins with Thornton and Kirilenko, and at the same time adding a more capable three-point shot JR Smith, so that the Knicks' height advantage increased, but the speed did not decrease, and Thornton and Smith were not slow.

The substitution came back, and the Rockets also changed two players, Delfino came back to play point guard, and Morty Yunas came on the court to replace Morris, so that the Rockets were shorter and faster.

When the Knicks came back after a timeout, the first wave of basketball was passed to Li Feng first, and Li Feng raised his hand at this time to see that the height of the Rockets had decreased by a piece.

He immediately called Thornton's cover again, and Li Feng took the ball and shook it from Thornton's side, just when the Rockets didn't know how Li Feng broke through from there, or he still had to pull up and shoot directly.

Li Feng took a step from the left to kill the basket of the rocket, and in this direction, Morty Yunas came up and wanted to stick Li Feng to death, straightening his chest and Li Feng's hard suit, he was still very confident in his lower limb strength.

But at this time, Li Feng had already exerted all his strength, and the weight of his entire body was about the same as that of an ordinary center, plus Li Feng's strength was stronger than that of a US striker. Mortiyunas collided with the other party, and suddenly snorted, his chest almost suffocated, and he suddenly took a big step back.

At this time, Morty Yunas realized the real gap between himself and Li Feng, once Li Feng's acceleration force was measured, he was simply a mantis arm as a car.

Li Feng crashed into the Motieunas Rocket's restricted area in one step, which was equivalent to opening his hole, and one more step of dribbling, Li Feng directly hit the Rocket's basket.

Li Feng faced Mortiyunas, who was known as the magic iron, and he was a violent clasp of both hands.

The reason why Mortiyunas won the title of magic iron in Houston is because of his extraordinary bounce and bloody block.

At this time, Li Feng challenged him head-on, and Mortiyunas had no way to avoid it, so he could only get up and slam into the air with one hand to try to block Li Feng's hands.

But if Mortiyunas is a magic iron, then Li Feng is Superman, Li Feng's hands are one hand higher than Mortiyunas's hands, Mortiyunas can't touch Li Feng's basketball at all, and Li Feng is also proud in physical confrontation, Li Feng almost suppressed Mortiyunas, and put the basketball hands on Mortiyunas's head. It slammed into the rocket's basket.

Li Feng violently forced a dunk, and Morty Yunas couldn't stop it at all, even if it was away from home, there was an exclamation on the court.

There were also many Li Feng fans and Chinese fans cheering loudly on the sidelines, and one of Li Feng's defenders forcibly buckled the opponent's inside line.

One person blew up the opponent's basket, and this feeling made the Knicks' players suddenly feel better.

Li Feng is the kind of player who can increase the confidence of his teammates and increase the hatred of his teammates for the other party.

After Li Feng landed, he also took the overlord step and deliberately walked in front of the bottom line camera.

Li Feng's domineering performance also made Reggie Miller admire again and again:

"Li Feng, this guy is getting more and more powerful now! It's becoming more and more of a leader. ”

"This is called dominance!"

Bill Wharton immediately continued. (To be continued......)
