Chapter 173 Challenge from the Houston Rockets ([-]rd update, ask for tickets!)

On the game day, the Warriors sat at home to meet the challenge from the Houston Rockets.

The offseason trade of the Houston Rockets is considered fruitful. The NBA Rockets used Jeremy Lin’s 840 million transaction exception + Daniels + the King’s second-round pick in 2015 + future second-round picks to trade with the Timberwolves to get Corey Brewer + Turia husband.

Corey Brewer is a typical blue-collar player with a sincere attitude, active training, and doing his best defensively. He has everything a top defender possesses: long arms, footwork, speed, anticipation, height, and defensive toughness. The Rockets bring strong defense.

In terms of strengthening defense, the Rockets also signed black-backed Beverly and Trevor Ariza. The Rockets upgraded their defense and signed veteran Jason Terry to bring more experience to the team.

In fact, this transaction is very effective for the Rockets. It can be seen from the original historical season record that this season's record will rise from fourth in the West to second in the West. Of course there are reasons for Harden's growth, but Lineup reinforcement is essential.

This season's Rockets can be regarded as strong and strong. The starting lineup can include James Harden, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Trevor Ariza, and Corey Brewer. This starting lineup is also the top configuration in the NBA.

The oracle bone inscriptions this season are becoming more and more lively. Last season's success in winning the championship brought endless attractions. In addition, Zhang Xin's 82 points in the last home game shocked the world, which made fans flock to him. With Zhang Xin This traffic-heavy IP basically means that there are no fans in the games he participates in. This is the case at the Oracle Center, and it is the same in Los Angeles. I am afraid that any arena where the Warriors go this season will make that arena full!

Adam Silver has been very comfortable recently. In the Stern era, there were Jordan, Xi Ke, Dong Ai, North Carolina and Nan Mai, who helped push the NBA into a state of full swing. Now he is lucky to be on stage. A genius like Zhang Xin was born out of nowhere. In just half a season, he laid the foundation of a super giant. At the beginning of the new season, he scored 82 points that shocked the whole world. I don't know what miracles will be created next.

This season the NBA arranges live broadcasts, and the Warriors have the most live broadcasts in the United States. This is Adam Silver's action to promote Zhang Xin's business card. As long as it is against a strong team in the league, the league will arrange live broadcasts.

Today the Rockets challenged the Warriors, which was also a live broadcast across the United States.

This year's NBA has used Zhang Xin's shareholder style to successfully reach a strategic cooperation with Tencent Sports. Tencent Sports will broadcast live in an all-round way. Chinese fans are lucky. They can watch every game throughout. Unlike CCTV live broadcast, CCTV live broadcast room Pick some important events, and some less-watched events are not broadcast live.

Today's match was broadcast live on Tencent with Wang Meng and Yang Yi partnering to commentate the match.

"Mr. Yang, do you have any predictions for today's game?" Wang Meng said.

"Let me talk about my prediction conclusion: Rockets and Warriors, I am more optimistic about the Warriors!

The reasons are as follows:

The Warriors' core lineup has been tested. The starting core lineup and rotation core lineup members have not changed, and even signed Barbosa and Livingston through the free market to strengthen the lineup;
Except for Harden and Howard, the core members of the Rockets, Josh Smith, Trevor Ariza, and Corey Brewer are all newly signed. The Rockets need more running-in time. The two core members of the Rockets, Harden The modern combination formed with Howard proved not the most suitable combination last season.

For this reason alone, I can conclude that the Rockets are not the Warriors' opponents.

But it's not without highlights:

The first is whether the Rockets' newly formed starting lineup can compete with the Warriors' starting lineup;
The second is whether the Rockets' new defensive capabilities can limit the Warriors' offense. The Warriors are known as the league's first offense. If the Rockets can slightly limit the Warriors, then the Rockets' record this year will not be bad. "Yang Yi analyzed.

At the beginning of the game, the Rockets' starters were James Harden, Patrick Beverley, Dwight Howard, Josh Smith and Trevor Ariza.

The Warriors lined up the starting five tigers: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson Zhang Xin, Andrew Bogut, Drummond Green.

Howard and Bogut jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Howard won the jump ball.

Beverly quickly dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Harden. Beverly was more on the defensive end to reduce the pressure on Harden.

Harden called Howard to go up for a high pick-and-roll, and Howard raised it, but Howard's pick-and-roll was not of good quality, and he hurried down before it was blocked. Thompson could pass without Bogut changing defense.

Harden was secretly annoyed. Seeing Howard's request, Harden rolled his eyes and ignored him. He directly broke through Thompson. Bogut wanted to block Harden. succeed.

The Warriors didn't care. Bogut immediately served the ball quickly. Green quickly crossed the half court with the ball. Zhang Xin, Thompson and Curry were about to play. Klay Thompson on the right, Thompson directly pulled up and hit a three-pointer!

"Wonderful transition attack, Harden made a beautiful layup with a European step. In less than three seconds, the Warriors scored a chasing three-pointer!" Wang Meng said in surprise.

"The Warriors' transition fast break has reached the point of proficiency. Bogut's fast serve, Green's fast push, Zhang Xin, Curry, Thompson's fast down, and then Green's long pass, Zhang Xin's non-stop hands and hands. The coordination of the series was completed within the time of the bird flying and the rabbit, and the warrior's attack was like a fire, and the attack was completed in just a few seconds!" Yang Yi praised.

The Rockets have the ball, Beverly passes halftime under Curry's defense, Harden receives Beverly's pass, uses Howard's pick-and-roll to break through the basket, Bogut comes up to defend, Harden throws high, Howard Bombing the Warriors' basket succeeded, this is the Rockets' best routine.

Harden and Howard's pick-and-roll is really difficult to defend. Howard's athletic talent is still top-notch at this time. Harden's finishing at the basket is his nirvana. The past two years have been when Harden's skills have reached great heights. Bogut Neither Green nor Green dared to do anything.

The Rockets' pick-and-roll is not easy to defend, but the Warriors' passing and cutting system is even more difficult for a team like the Rockets that has not yet completed the run-in.

The lack of communication between the Rockets' players is a sieve full of holes for the Warriors. Zhang Xin made a screen for Curry. Curry slid the bottom line to attract the defense. Pass the ball directly to the frame.

Howard's defensive range is really wide, a turn is like taking Zhang Xin, Zhang Xin made a back pass to Bogut who followed up, and Bogut dunked!

The Rockets really can't defend, and the Warriors haven't stepped up their strength yet, but for now, the two sides are still fighting back and forth.

　There will be more tomorrow!Ask for votes! !Thanks albless for the reward!
