Last season the Rockets played mainly Yao Ming, Scola, Lowry, Martin, Budinger and others.

Now only Yao Ming and Scola are left among the few people. Lowry went to the Raptors, Martin went to the Thunder, Budinger went to the Timberwolves, and the main lineup has changed tremendously.

The three positions are now replaced by Harden, Courtney Lee, and Chandler Parsons.

In fact, in the memory of Qin Hao’s last life, Courtney Lee was also the target of the trade, and Scott was amnesty by the Rockets with an amnesty clause. Yao Ming had retired at that time, which is equivalent to the original Rockets’ starting lineup. There was a big reshuffle, and almost the whole was replaced in two years.

Now because of the changes brought by Qin Hao, Yao Ming has not retired, and Scola is still in the Rockets, but Budinger, Lowry, and Martin have left the Rockets.

In general, the Rockets today are a new and old lineup. The core of the team has gradually changed from Yao Ming to Harden.

After all, Harden is the future.

"Brother Ming."

The cheers in the audience weakened, and Qin Hao walked towards Yao Ming and hugged Yao Ming.

Yao Ming smiled and patted Qin Hao on the shoulder, and said, "You are getting better and better now. During this period of time, your news is everywhere, and you can see you in the headlines of sports editions almost every day. Oh, and mvp rankings. Ranking.” As he said, he smiled more and more happily, and increased his strength in his hands, “Come on, try to get the regular season mvp.”

If Qin Hao gets the regular season mvp, then he will become the first Chinese player to get the NBA regular season mvp. Although it is not Yao Ming himself, he will also be very happy.

What he couldn't do, he hoped that Qin Hao could do it.

Although Yao Ming has made a lot of achievements in the NBA, has been selected to the All-Star for many times, and has become one of the top centers of the NBA, he has many regrets in his career and lacks a lot of things.

Now he has pinned all this on Qin Hao, hoping that the little brother can do what he has not been able to do bigger, and prove to the world that the honor you can achieve and the things you can do can also be done by our Chinese players!

Later, Butler and others also came over to hug Yao Ming.

Butler has known Yao Ming for a long time, and other people respect Yao Ming because of Qin Hao's relationship and Yao Ming's own status.

It is worth mentioning that when Yao Ming successfully transformed into a "spatial insider", defeated injuries, and gave off his second spring, he not only amazed countless fans, but also won the respect of many NBA players.

Such a thing is like a legend.

"Qin."

A big beard opened his hands at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao also opened his hands, smiled and hugged Deng Deng, looking at Deng Deng's signature big beard, he was very happy.

After saying hello, the two sides separated and began to warm up.

The Rockets' lineup has changed a lot this season, and the outside world is not very optimistic about them. After all, the lineup has changed so much, which means that the future is uncertain.

But what surprised people was that the Rockets quickly found their shape, especially the new combination of inside and outside, Yao Ming + Harden, they had a very good chemical reaction.

After Harden came to the Rockets, his personal ability was released. The average scoring jumped from 16.8 points per game last season to 25.2 points per game, rebounds per game to 4.9, and assists per game to 5.8. Both are personal career highs.

And because of Harden's arrival, Yao Ming also has a teammate who can not only help him share the pressure, attract the defense, but also feed him the ball.

Compared with last season, Yao Ming's personal data has not declined, but his average three-pointers and assists per game have increased a bit.

In addition, Parsons has grown a lot from last season.

As for Scola and Courtney Lee, nothing has changed.

However, under the outstanding performance of Harden, Yao Ming, and Parsons, the Rockets have performed impressively this season. They are now ranked fifth in the Western Conference, second only to the Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, The Clippers are even better than the Lakers.

"Swish..."

The Rockets players are warming up.

Yao Ming stood outside the three-point line, received a pass from his teammate and hit a three-pointer, then the second, the third...

After making 8 three-pointers in a row, Qin Hao couldn't help but frown.

......

After a while, the warm-up is over.

Both sides returned to the sidelines. Coach Luke looked serious and said: "Although the Rockets have changed a lot this season, they still should not be underestimated. Especially on the inside, we suffer more."

Qin Hao nodded secretly.

Indeed, they are at a disadvantage on the inside line. Nene is definitely not Yao Ming’s opponent. His height is a full ten centimeters away. Mozkov is a bit taller, but he is still not Yao Ming’s opponent. He is probably faster than Yao Ming. slow.

"So, we must pay attention to low post defense, pay attention to defensive forward." Coach Luke said: "You can't let Yao Ming take the ball inside. Once he receives the ball from the low post, we must immediately assist in defense and force him to pass the ball. , Pay attention to protecting the rebounds, and be sure to get a good position."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

As for the outside line, Coach Luke doesn't worry too much, Qin Hao + Iguodala + Butler, he is not ashamed to play against any team.

At the same time, the Rockets are also deploying.

Coach McHale had a solemn expression, spread his tactical board, and said: "We must pay attention to the defense of Qin and be careful of his three-pointers."

This is something that almost all NBA teams will confess when encountering the 76ers head coach. Be careful of Qin Hao's three-pointers.

Then McHale said again: "We have the advantage inside, Yao Ming, and Scola, you have to be more active. Harden, pay attention to pass them..."

After some arrangement, the game officially started.

The 76ers are still the regular starters, and the Rockets' starters are Yao Ming, Scola, Parsons, Courtney Lee and Harden.

The two sides came to the court and jumped the ball first.

After Yao Ming’s weight loss transformation now, he wins more on the jump ball and easily jumps to the ball. Harden controls the ball and advances to the frontcourt. Facing Qin Hao, he is still a little nervous. Good shot, took a look at the situation on the court, and gave the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming took the ball and played with his back. The inside was next to Yao Ming and confronted him physically. At the same time, Butler was also aiming there, ready to go to help defend at any time.

As a result, before Butler passed, Yao Ming suddenly turned around to shoot a jumper. It was entirely a guard's action. With his height, Nene could only sigh.

Huh!

With a soft sound, the Rockets make the first move.

"This kind of play, I am afraid that the defense will not play a big role." Qin Hao frowned slightly, couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If Yao Ming is the traditional center of the past, then the defense will have a great effect, but now he is a spatial center, the defense is not so effective for him.
