Chapter 798 (1/2)
At the end of the preseason, the NBA's first official strength list was released, the sun ranked fourth, and many teams with better performance in seven games were behind them.
The winning rockets ranked first, and Chinese fans were very excited. This year, they finally saw a powerful rocket that could play a combination of internal and external rockets, instead of tmac pulling Tuba two points with one step.
Yao Ming's state is very good, can easily cut 20 + on the court, Nelson is very satisfied with Yao Ming, boasting that his shooting is as sure as Nowitzki, and defense in the forbidden area is better than Nowitzki.
Yao Ming binowski's range is close. He is used to catching the ball in the low position against the defender. He turns around and shoots once or twice. His 226cm high jump shot also has a backward tilt. The opponent's center can't block it at all.
In addition to turning jump shot stunts, Yao Ming can also use his feet to the middle and bottom line to turn hook, wipe into the basket lay up, dunk.
Yao Ming's preseason performance is directly related to Billups, the two partners are very suitable, Alston was no suspense squeezed to the bench. Billups is a tall heavy point guard with excellent passing consciousness and solid basic skills. When he takes it to the side, whether he hits the ground or reverses it, Yao Ming is very comfortable to catch the ball. Then he opens outside the three-point line to attract defense.
Once Yao Ming scores in a row, forcing the opponent's formation to contract in the low position to wrap the ball out, Billups will have three points on the mobile phone, and the hit rate is stable. He couldn't get a direct shot, and he was able to attract the rotation defense to the bottom corner of Prince.
Prince's open position can catch the ball and throw three points, and the hit rate is not low. Last season, he averaged 1 ball, with a shooting rate of 38.6%. He is good at cutting the baseline, and Billups is very tacit understanding, to the Rockets do not need to run in, directly into the team.
The defensive rockets are equally powerful. Sevrosa and Prince have strong flank protection. They are tall and have long arms. They can not only withdraw from the restricted area to defend big players, but also interfere with small shots and breakthroughs.
The rocket's joint defense system has become stronger, only Yao Ming and Scola's speed is not fast enough, it is difficult to cover the defense guard's three points, and Billups's pursuit and defense is not fast.
In Guo Xu's previous life, old Nelson joined the warriors. In 2007, he performed a black eight miracle against 66 wins over the Mavericks. Now the Rockets are better at attacking than the warriors under his supervision.
The substitutes have become a group of bench bandits under the guidance of Nelson senior. Rafer Alston is very stable, can shoot three points, spanolis is responsible for holding the ball attack, and Landry and pick and roll, can break through on their own, can divide the ball to his teammates, mid shot or air cut.
Reserve center is 198cm Chuck Hayes, he is very mobile, anti human rebounds are good, the rocket rotation lineup can play position, also can fast attack. Spanolis played the No.2 position, which was the small ball tactics of double guards. He was good at playing in Greece and had a strong breakthrough ability.
In sharp contrast to the Rockets, the pistons are at the bottom of the 1-6 record. Without prince, the flank defense is over. Rookie point guard Rodney Starkey's organizational ability is very poor, with half court pass, catching and shooting ability is also very poor.
The pistons sent off Billups for a Starkey who didn't look like a point guard. He was 195cm tall and weighed 95kg. Stacey's physical fitness was first-class and athletic talent was good. Manager Joe Dumas was crazy.
The strength of the second place is Celtic, pre-season 6-1, magic ranked third, the same 6-1.
The three giants of the green army are strong. In reason, their lineups crush their opponents.
Magic's strength has been significantly improved. Marion's joining has enhanced his ability to move forward and fight for rebounds. He can not only play positional warfare, but also run and blast quickly to counterattack, and occasionally show his back hit and throw.
Marion and Howard are on the field together. If the teammates don't score, they may also help to create two attack opportunities.
This month, magic and Cavaliers played China. James generally scored 17 points in Shanghai on the 17th, while Howard scored 31 points and 14 rebounds, and the magic won 90-86.
On the 18th, the magic played a match with the Chinese men's basketball star team. Howard played only half-time and scored 12 points. Marion scored 24 points and 15 rebounds. The magic won 116-92.
