Chapter 19 China Competition 1
Huang Jun, who left in the afternoon, arrived at the hotel in the evening.
Because the coach and his teammates knew in advance that Huang Jun had come home to visit, they all did not worry about him. The players went to play during the day.
There are still many famous scenes in Beijing, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, etc. When Huang Jun returned to the hotel, a group of them had not come back. Seeing this, Huang Jun had no choice but to sleep. There was too little rest time today, plus the fatigue last night.
Huang Jun, who was lying in **, fell asleep in a while.
The next day is coming soon. In the morning, the team's simple training warms up. This is a pre-match preparation. Although it's just an exhibition game, there should be something.
In the afternoon, Huang Jun went out to play with everyone. Beijing Huang Jun didn't have a good time. In his heart, it was better to spend time on training than to play.
If it is not everyone's request this time, he will definitely not go. This time is mainly to increase everyone's feelings. After all, everyone still has very little time together.
The time soon came to 7 p.m., and it was only half an hour before the start of the game. The stadium was full at this time, and the seats were full.
The players from both sides also appeared one by one. When it was McGrady and Yao Ming's turn to appear, there were tsunami-like cheers at the scene in an instant, and Yao Mai's popularity can be imagined.
And the knights on this side, James's cheers are like a tsunami. Huang Jun's cheers obviously can't be compared with the three superstars. After all, he is just a newcomer.
It's okay for the fans of Cavaliers Beijing to boo him. You should know that he once won the Overseas Chinese and Peking University in this city, and most of the fans in Beijing are fans of these two school teams, so Huang Jun should be grateful.
The game was broadcast live by CCTV-5 and Beijing Sports Station.
"There are still a lot of spectators in this game, and there are no empty seats at the scene. Everyone should be here for James of Rockets and Knights," Yoga said, looking at the big screen.
"Ha ha, it's true. Since Yao Ming joined, the Rockets have been very popular. It can be said that most of the NBA fans are Rockets fans, just because they have a Chinese pride in their team, that is, Yao Ming. Yao Ming is the Great Wall of Chinese basketball," Lu Shun said with a smile.
There is no doubt that Yao Ming made great contributions to the Chinese team's eighth place in this year's Olympic Games. In Lu Shun's view, the Chinese team without Yao Ming is nothing. Chinese basketball is completely supported by Yao Ming. It is not an exaggeration to call it the Great Wall in basketball.
Rocket replacement area.
Rockets head coach Adelman, who is a very good coach. When he coached the King, he made the King one of the most ornamental teams in the NBA. Adelman's main tactic was Princeton, but Princeton's requirements were very high.
The reason why the King can play Princeton is that the King has a big center who is very good at passing the ball, Chris Webb.
The reason why Adelman was able to coach the Rockets was because he was attracted by the Rockets' lineup. Yao Mai's combination, coupled with the defensive expert Artest, this lineup made Adelman see the hope of winning the championship.
However, the Rockets have not broken through the first round for many years, and Yao Mai has not broken through the first round, which is inconceivable.
It's still because the Rockets have too many injuries, Yao Ming or McGrady, which has caused the Rockets to fail to break through the first round, which has always been the first round.
Of course, you can't blame the head coach Adelman, mainly because there are too many injuries. Adelman joined the Rockets last year. Although he failed to break through the first round in the first season, Adelman is more confident this year.
I'm very satisfied with Morey's deal from that deal to the big capital. Although Adelman is somewhat sorry to lose Landry and Battier, Adelman's ability to get a big capital does give Adelman hope.
Yao Ming no longer has to play every game for so long, which is undoubtedly good news for Yao Ming, who is full of injuries. Now the Rockets can't stand the injury.
"Today's start: Alstom, McGrady, Artest, Scola and Yao Ming, McGrady, I need you to focus on the team. This is the element of Princeton. Too many singles are not allowed, you know? Although this game is just an unimportant game, I still hope you can take it seriously. Adelman said.
Maddie nodded. He changed a lot in this regard last season. It can be said that he adapted to Adelman's tactical system little by little. Adelman is still very happy.
Previously, when the Rockets were not Adelman's coach, the ball was in his hands, and the attack was all around him. Since Adelman came, the team has been team-oriented.
This is what McGrady has always wanted. He doesn't want to be the top scorer, but he doesn't have a championship. He can sacrifice his data for the championship. Now the Rockets team makes him see the hope of the championship, as if he is close to the championship.
Adelman continued, "We have new people joining this year, and we have to find the chemical reaction again. Yao Ming, you have made great progress in passing the ball, and you have also made great progress in air cutting, which will help us a lot."
"I didn't ask you too much at the beginning of the game. At the beginning, I thought I would give you a feeling. The goal of this game is very simple, that is, to win." Adelman said and looked at everyone.
The Rockets nodded to show that they knew.
Knight's side.
Mike Brown looked at the players standing in front of him and said, "Today's starter is the start I've been thinking about for a long time. This starter is the best. The starter is not necessarily the best, but this set of starter matches very well.
"Today's starting lineup is as follows: point guard Huang Jun, shooting guard Sean Battier, small forward James, big forward..." Speaking of Brownton, he looked at the players and then said, "Big forward Carl Landry, center big Z"
Although Asik is a little sad, he also understands that he is just a rookie at present, and Carl Landry is a power forward who has proved his ability.
Carl Landry was also very excited and finally ushered in the opportunity. He will definitely seize this opportunity, and this time his opponent is still his former club Rockets. He also wants to prove that it is a mistake for the Rockets to give up on himself.
In addition to Asik's disappointment, Delon West is also very disappointed. He has been starting last season, but he didn't expect to be out of the starting position now.
However, he also knows that Battier is indeed more suitable for the first position than him. Although he is disappointed, he is also a player who is willing to sacrifice for the team. It can be said that every player of the Cavaliers is willing to sacrifice. This is the biggest advantage of the Cavaliers at present, and everyone is very united.
Mike Brown put all of these into his eyes, and then said, "This lineup requires defense, attack and attack. There is no doubt that it is the best lineup, and our substitutes are also excellent. Next, everyone will prepare. The game will start soon. You can play as normal. Now it's time to perform. Only at the last moment can it be the decisive moment. I believe that the head coach of the other side doesn't want to lose. No matter who it is, everyone wants to win.
The next time is expected by little by little, and the time of the game is coming little by little.
The game begins.
Yao Ming and Big Z jumped the ball in the middle line. Although Yao Ming's height had an advantage, he still couldn't jump Big Z in the end. The ball was pushed to Huang Jun by Big Z.
Huang Jun received the ball and slowly moved to the half to carry out the first attack of the game.
Huang Jun, who arrived at half-time, handed the ball directly to James, and then ran to the position by himself.
James received the ball against Artest's defense.
Artest's defense is very good, and his body is also excellent. It can be said that using him to defend James is the best choice, which will definitely have a great impact on James.
Artest stared at him desperately, not letting him break through, but letting him throw. As long as James dared to throw, he also dared to let it go. Now everyone on earth knows that James's jump shot ability is not so good, and it's right to prevent his breakthrough.
Because of this, James has been practicing jump shots all summer, trying to improve his hit rate, but is this hit rate so good?
James was very helpless. Facing Artest's defense, he directly tried to take a step, and Artest was unmoved.
Seeing such a James directly shot with a long-range two-point jump shot, Artest saw this and was speechless. Did he throw it like this? Is it strange that you can enter?
However, the next moment, the result was a big slap on Artest, which was very loud.
James's jump shot entered the net. Looking at James who scored the goal, he looked at his hands and then said to himself, "It seems that it feels good today." Then he took a deep look at Artest and then went back to defense.
Artest's definition of the ball is a lucky ball, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all.
On the contrary, Huang Jun took a deep look at James and said, "Effort is indispensable for a superstar. It seems that I have to work harder. While I work hard, don't forget that others are also working hard"
When Mike Brown saw the ball, there was no surprise in his eyes. He was very relieved for James. He knew what kind of person James was.
Alstom received the ball halfway through the game and went directly to McGrady's hand.
It seems that both sides will give their first ball to the boss of their respective teams to execute the first goal.
Maddie did not hesitate at all. In the face of Battier's defense, McGrady continuously changed direction and carried Battier to the inside line.
Batil can be called a defensive expert. Obviously, his defensive skills are also quite excellent. In addition, Batil has been a teammate with McGrady, which undoubtedly knows McGrady very well, so Battier's influence on McGrady on the defensive end will be far greater than that of Artest's defense to James.
