Hao Shuai impressed Bixstaff enough in the summer league, and in training, he also gave Hao Shuai enough opportunities.

As a member of the substitute team, Hao Shuai has repeatedly performed brilliantly in the whole competition, and slowly, this has also gained the trust of many teammates.

This training went on for a long time, and with about ten days left before the start of the preseason, the team was basically all there.

Even the team’s head coach, Kevin McHale, arrived at the stadium on this day and began to take over the coaching whip from Bikstaff.

The only two players missing from the team happen to be the team’s two inner and outer cores, “Warcraft” Dwight Howard, and “Bearded” James Harden.

Howard is said to be on his way back from a trip to Europe, while Harden appears to be on vacation with his new girlfriend, Khloe Kardashian.

The absence of the two stars did not have much impact on the team’s training, and after completing the final week of training, the team made their pre-season debut.

Only then did Harden belatedly join the team.

McHale didn’t say anything, he was quite conniving at this absolute core of the team.

The Rockets’ preseason opener was at 467 at home against the Miami Heat.

Although it was a pre-season game, the attendance of the Toyota Center Arena still reached 30%, and nearly 6,000 people attended the game.

The Rockets re-entered the Western Conference Finals after a gap of 20 years last season, and the team has become the big team in the West, and there is no change in the main roster for the new season, and their goal this season is clearly only a championship.

On the other hand, the rival Heat, who just experienced the pain of James’ departure, missed the playoffs last season.

The home game is a one-sided game, and the fans who come to watch the game are also coming to this point.

Who wouldn’t want to relax with a big win from home team outside of work?

Both sides have sent the starting line-up, which is also a feature of today’s preseason, which is no longer the main stage for substitutes, but an opportunity for teams to grind.

On the Rockets’ side, the combination of Beverley and Harden on the outside, Ariza at small forward, and Howard and Capela on the inside, this lineup is basically the same as last season.

The Heat are on that side too, with a combination of Dragic and Wade on the outside, Rul Deng at small forward and a combination of Whiteside and Chris Bosh on the inside.

To the cheers of the audience, the game between the two sides officially began.

Hao Shuai sat at the end of the bench. To his left is his college teammate Decker.

The Rockets attacked first, and Beverley gave the ball to Harden to organize the attack when he arrived in the front court, and after calling Capela to block it, he directly chose to break through inside.

Harden is a top five superstar in the league, the first step is fast, but I don’t know if he has not recovered from the offseason, he slipped after the first step, and the ball was directly out of his hand and sent to Wade in front of him.

Wade took the ball to counter the fast attack, Della hit a second pass to Wade, Wade a beautiful layup to score the Heat’s opening score.

The Rockets attacked again, Harden passed the ball to Howard, and Howard hit Whiteside with his back to the basket.

Facing an opponent who only gained a foothold in the league last season, Howard did not have the slightest advantage in the confrontation, and finally was pushed out of the three-second zone, and had no choice but to pass back to Harden.

Harden shot a three-point shot in the face of Wade’s defense, and actually shot a straight three.

There was an uproar.

The two cores of Team Rocket, as if they hadn’t woken up.

And this is also a microcosm of the first half, Harden and Howard are in no state, on the other hand, on the Heat’s side, veterans Wade and Bosh are in hot form, and by halftime, the Heat have led the Rockets by as many as 15 points 56-41.

The trend of the game was completely different from the pre-match prediction (ceff), and the audience also walked more than half.

Hao Shuai did not get a chance to play in the first half, which gave the sunspots an excuse, and in some domestic forums, those people began to gloat.

“Look, I’m right, guys who only know that entertainment doesn’t get even a minute of playing time in preseason!”

“It seems that you may not be able to stay in a season, or obediently return to the CBA to play, don’t show up in the NBA!”

“Look where he sits, last on the bench! You don’t have to guess, it must be a poor performance during training, and sure enough, no team was right to choose him in the first round, and what to say thank you for looking down on me, it’s just hilarious! ”

“You are all wrong, in fact, he can also contribute, averaging 10 towels and 12 water handovers and roaring 10 times per game, is this also an average of triple-doubles per game!”

……

At halftime, McHale criticized the performance of the team’s role players, and waited until the second half to let the substitutes play.

The Heat had no intention of stopping there, and except for replacing Wade with Joe John, the other four were still all starters.

As a result, the Rockets’ point gap was widened, and after half the third quarter, they were more than 20 points behind the Heat.

McHale’s face was full of sadness, beckoned to the last few people on the bench, and directly surrendered in advance.

Hao Shuai finally got the opportunity to play at this time.

Joining him on the field are the team’s most marginal players, and with him in the backcourt is Ty Lawson, who has just joined the team for the new season, small forward K.J. McDaniels, and inside is a combination of Decker and Josh Smith.

The Rockets came five up and five down, and the Heat also replaced all the players on the court.

The pure bench lineup of Napier, Winslow, Josh McRoberts, Haslem and Stoudemire also gave the Rockets a glance.

Hao Shuai moved his joints to the field, and saw the combination of Napier and Winslow coming up on the opposite side, and he couldn’t help but be stunned.

It’s really not a gathering of wronged families.

When Napier and Winslow were ordered by coach Spoelstra, their faces were still excited, but when they saw that it was Hao Shuai who came up on the opposite side, their faces suddenly turned dark, and their hearts were instantly cold.

The scene of the preseason began to fill their minds uncontrollably.
