Chapter 786 Rocket Buster One
Warriors home, Oracle Arena.

The Chinese Derby attracted a large number of fans to watch the game. There are many players above the All-Star level in the two teams, and the viewing and topicality are full of selling points.

CCTV5 also broadcast the match, and Cai Nan was a guest in the studio as the guest commentator for this match.

After the "Basketball Pioneer" became popular, Cai Nan's career increased greatly. In the domestic basketball commentary circle, he gradually climbed to a high position, which is comparable to some veteran basketball commentators. Come to CCTV as a guest commentator. It's nothing unusual, it's become the norm.

Cai Nan still hugs Yang Di's thigh tightly, which is also a major feature and flaw of his commentary style. Many fans say that Cai Nan is Yang Di's number one dog leg in China.

Cai Nan said with a smile: "Last season, the Rockets lost to the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. They regarded the Warriors as their biggest opponent on the way to the championship. Since the off-season, they have been strengthening the Warriors, including the introduction of Scotia. Pulling, trading to Artest, it's all the same."

Yang Jian silently despised Cai Nan, but with a smile on his face, he said agreeingly: "It's true, the Rockets have increased the thickness of the forward position, and they also have the advantage in dealing with the Warriors' running and bombing tactics." My own way of cracking, today's game is mainly to see if the Rockets can defend against the Warriors' offense."

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

The Warriors wear white jerseys at home, while the Rockets wear classic red.

Warriors starters: Baron Davis, Ray Allen, Trevor Ariza, Yang Di and Tyson Chandler.

Danny Granger has suffered some injuries this season and has missed some games one after another. Ariza is the starter. Although the offensive end is not as great as Danny Granger's contribution, the defensive end is very powerful and helps the Warriors The team finishes in another style.

Rockets starters: Ralph Alston, Tracy McGrady, Ron Artest, Luis Scola, Yao Ming.

After Ron Artest came to the Rockets, Sean Battier naturally reduced his roles. Not only did he change from a starter to a substitute, but his playing time was also discounted. From about 35 minutes per game, Become an average rotation player averaging 20 minutes per game.

The older rookie Luis Scola was eye-catching. After January, he secured the Rockets' starting power forward position.

"Be sure to play 12 points. Yang Di's offense is too powerful. If he relaxes a little, he may find an opportunity to complete the attack destructively." Van Gundy told Luis Scola to stay vigilant and focus on defense , I was really sweating in my heart. Can Scola, who is a little weaker, complete such a task?

Scola Alexander, after comparing Yang Di's strong arm, thought it better to continue to play as a substitute!
At the beginning of the game, Tyson Chandler did not beat Yao Ming.

The Rockets attacked in the first round. Alston controlled the ball and moved forward.

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

Ralph Alston has nothing to say about his dribbling ability. He controlled the ball with his left hand and pulled it back.

McGrady didn't wave, and Yao Ming ran out to pick and roll.

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

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

McGrady held the ball in one hand, lifted the basketball and looked at the basket, and stared at the Warriors' No. 1, as if Ariza was not born to deal with him very much.

McGrady landed the ball with his right hand, and then switched to his left hand after hitting the ground. At the same time, he took a big step with his right foot to the left, and the whole person formed a cross-step breakthrough.

Yao Ming just took advantage of the pick-and-roll and blocked Ariza who was defending.

McGrady dribbled the ball into the three-point line, and faced Chandler in a dislocation. With a slight shake of his left hand, he jumped sideways and continued to go deeper to the left.

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

Luis Scola is about the same height as Yang Di. He is a power forward with mid-range shooting ability, and his mid-range shooting is very stable. Players from Europe have such characteristics.

McGrady didn't get too much pressure when he came in. Yang Di didn't let Scola go to defend McGrady until under the basket.

At this time, Yang Di made sure that McGrady had no room to pass the ball. McGrady stepped forward against Yang Di, with a good body position. He avoided Yang Di's blockade with his long arms and picked it up lightly.

After hitting the basketball, I stumbled a few times on the rim and fell into the rim.

2 to 0, the Rockets scored the first offense, leading the Warriors.

Yang Di looked at McGrady in surprise, and said that McGrady's condition has declined, but his skill in picking the basket is really good.

Byron holds the ball outside.

Yang Di didn't intend to play singles, and Byron faced Alstom with the ball.

This is a good breakthrough. When the Warriors analyzed before the game, they focused on the analysis of the Rockets' No. 1 and No. 4 positions. These two points are the Warriors' offensive strengths with the ball, but it is the Rockets. Team's weakest defense.

Byron dribbled continuously under his crotch, dribbling back and forth indefinitely.

Yang Di wanted to come up to pick and roll for Byron, but in the middle of the run, seeing Byron's hand gesture, he pretended to step forward to pick and roll, and immediately withdrew and went down.

Byron throws the ball and Luis Scola has just come out to delay Byron when he finds himself out of position.

After receiving the ball, Yang Di hits the Rockets' frame directly, and Yao Ming defends. Yang Di passes the ball in a half-throwing posture and sends a fast alley-oop pass.

Chandler directly smashed the dunk after the alley-oop. He likes this pie-feeding attack method the most.

Tyson Chandler has further weakened his offensive methods in the past few years in the Warriors. Now he basically only has dunks and strong attacks at the basket. During the season, he was the player with the highest field goal percentage in the league.

2 to 2, the Rockets attack.

McGrady still held the ball from the outside. After the pick-and-roll this time, the Warriors actively switched defenses, and Tyson Chandler delayed McGrady's dribble.

McGrady didn't find the opportunity when he saw the stitches. Yao Ming fell to the low post. McGrady lobped the ball over. Yao Ming got the ball with his back and singled out Tyson Chandler.

Chandler blushed. Last year in the Western Conference finals, he was directly blown away by Yao Ming. He always regarded Yao Ming as his major defensive challenge, and he would go all out every time.

Yao Ming took the ball and paused for two seconds, then leaned back.

That huge body seemed to be a moving mountain, hitting heavily on Chandler's arms and chest.

"boom!"

Chandler snorted, his arms went numb for a while.

With Yao Ming's left foot as the axis, he drew a circle counterclockwise with his right foot, turned over on his right side, and shot a jumper.

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

"Shh!"

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