The Godfather of Basketball

Back in the second half, the Hornets' offense, Daniels and Posey played a pick-and-roll match, and after the ball was dispensed to Posey, Posey shot a 3-pointer from the outside.

The addition of Percy has improved the Hornets' weak bench strength.

For the Rockets' offense, Morrow and Jordan played a pick-and-roll, and there was a slight gap outside the three-point line to shoot the three-pointer.

"Oh!"

With a crisp sound, Morrow's three-pointer shot and fell.

The Hornets attacked, Daniels passed Armstrong in seconds, Yi Jianlian's defensive judgment was accurate, but the confrontation was too bad, and the former directly hit the open basket to score.

Looking back, it was still Morrow. With Jordan's solid body pick-and-roll out of the bottom line, Dragic's excellent sense of smell passed the ball, and the latter received the ball three-pointers before shooting.

"Oh!"

Three-pointer still scored!

Morrow proved in the summer league that he can score high scores. After a period of hard work in the offseason, he also brought that ability to the preseason.

The offense of the Hornets, after Posey and Brown pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian rushed, Yi Jianlian recovered the basket, Posey missed the shot in the confrontation.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound, the Rockets pushed back, and Morrow missed a three-pointer.

Armstrong turned to prepare to receive defensive rebounds, but at this moment, Weaver smashed into the paint like a lightning, took off the air and grabbed offensive rebounds, then turned to the high position Yi Jianlian, who directly shot the large two points.

"Oh!"

Yi Jianlian also shot!

The Hornets' offense, Posey's breakthrough was stopped by Jordan.

Looking back, Dragic advanced to the frontcourt and missed Weaver's three-pointer, but Jordan took a continuous jump and snatched the ball between Armstrong and Brown, forcing Armstrong to foul.

Waiting for Jordan to make two free throws, the Rockets edge players played the Hornets 10 to 5 in the second half!

This momentum on the court is even more than the first half of the rotation!

And this is not a segment, the entire second half, the Rockets played exceptionally aggressively, and the first half judged two teams.

When Tang Tian saw this, he didn't know where to start, and suddenly his mind flashed.

Relying on the outstanding performance of the marginal players in the second half, the Rockets finally reversed the Hornets 94-92 and achieved their first win in the preseason.

Morrow hit the team's highest 18 points, and Yi Jianlian and Weaver each had 8 points.

The preseason continues, and the Rockets' obvious change is that Tang Tian intends to give more active edge players more playing time.

The Rockets 'main players' rotation is still not high. The Rockets 'preseason game ended with only 3 wins and 4 losses, but the marginal players' performance was remarkable.

Morrow has played 6 games and averaged 12.6 points per game. This is an excellent performance for a losing draft.

Weaver averaged 6.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks. Despite his average talent, Weaver's aggressive fighting is impressive.

Yi Jianlian averaged 9.3 points and shot 51% from the field. His offensive performance was very eye-catching, limiting him to more defensive issues.

Dragic averaged 4.5 points and 3.4 assists per game. Although he didn't score much, his organizational ability was obvious to all.

The preseason game came to an end, and the Rockets made a final cut.

Marcus Campbell, d.j.Stroberg, Mike Harris, and Lucas III were laid off without a doubt.

The remaining old Barry, Hart, and Weaver had to stay two. On the question of who to stay, Tang Tian and Morey had differences.

Tang Tian wants to leave Weaver and Barry with a playoff experience.

Morey believes that Weaver's stay does not have many opportunities for performance, and tends to leave Barry and Hart with guaranteed contracts.

"It doesn't matter who Barry and Hart stay, but Weaver must stay." Tang Tian's attitude was firm.

Morey is obviously a little unhappy, and he has his own considerations, leaving the expiring contract and doing some transactions in the middle of the season.

However, Tang Tian's attitude was extremely firm, and he eventually chose to lay off Hart, a less effective player.

As a result, the Rockets' new season roster is also released.

Centers: Yao Ming, Mark Gasol, DeAndre Jordan;

Power forwards: Scola, Landry, Yi Jianlian;

Small forwards: Shane Battier, Brent Barry;

Shooting guards: McGrady, Pietrus, Anthony Morrow, Van Weaver;

Point guards: Billups, Sun Yue, Dragic.

Looking at the paper lineup alone, this is not much weaker than last season, but after the preseason, anyone can feel that this team is in a doldrums and the prospects are worrying.

"Don, you shouldn't be so resolute. Darrell is the general manager of the team after all." Keith Jones reminded the team's deputy general manager when he came out of the general manager's office.

"No, I have left Weaver to be of great use to the team." Tang Tian shook his head and said that he had chosen to compromise on the Barnes thing. As a result, the team's small forward did not have a reliable substitute. .

"Great use ... well, hope this doesn't affect your relationship," Jones said with a grin.

Tang Tian didn't explain anything, leaving Weaver was really useful, and as long as he scored, it didn't matter what mattered.

The preseason is over and the NBA regular season will kick off.

Prior to this, the Rockets also ended their last training session.

However, unlike in the past, Tang Tian did not directly put the team members to rest, but called everyone together and stood in two rows in front of him.

"The preseason is over. How do you think the team is playing?" Tang Tian had no obvious expression on his face when he spoke.

"Not good." Yao Ming answered very directly, he has always been a stronger player.

"Hey Yao, just relax, it's just the preseason." McGrady said comfortingly.

"No, we didn't play well." Yao Ming shook his head.

"Our rookie performance is very good this year, which will make our new season easier." McGrady continued.

"Yes, coach, mainly in finding new players in the preseason. I think we will win more games than last season." Pietrus echoed.

The other players nodded, and Morrow, Dragic, Weaver and Yi Jianlian did well in the preseason.

"Do you have anyone else to say?" Tang Tian then asked, still no change in expression on his face.

The players looked at each other and did not speak again.

"Oops, it can't be any worse!" Tang Tian suddenly said solemnly at this time.

Many players looked up at him in surprise ~ www.readwn.com ~ won two championships, you think you are invincible? Do you think you can win anything? Or in your mind, the championship is not so important anymore? Tang Tian decibel said more and more. From the off-season trials, this team's performance made him very unhappy, and now it has accumulated an explosive point.

"Shame!" Seeing the team members still not talking, Tang Tian said politely.

"I used to be proud of you, not because of how talented you are, but because you will try your best no matter what difficulties you face. When others question, you respond with actions and hit those people's faces hard. , But now, look at yourself. "

"I feel like I can always be the core of the team after I get a top salary contract. I think I have a stable rotation in the playoffs last year? Or is it just trying to mix a championship ring?" Tang Tian said Not at all polite.

After listening to McGrady, Pietrus and Barry, they all felt a hot pain on their faces. Although Tang Tian didn't call him by name, if he understood it a little, he knew who he was talking about.
