The Godfather of Basketball

v1 Chapter 121: Rockets rookie

The Rockets' next opponent is the Warriors.

一天 One day before the game, Sun Yue was recalled by the Rockets from the D-League and returned to the Toyota Center, which had been away for more than a month.

Compared with some pretentious looks before, now he looks obviously more mature and confident.

After he returned, he didn't go to see Tang Tian for the first time, but instead asked Cole to train privately.

On the second day of the team ’s daily training, after finishing the basic training, Tang Tian had some whim, like looking at the capabilities of Xibodu and Cole, and letting them choose players to play in-team training games.

Xibodu has followed Tang Tian for more than a year, but the coaching style is still defensive. Except Yao Ming, he chooses the defensive team in the team, Battier, Pietrus ... Sun Yue was also selected by him .

Cole specializes in picking three-pointers. McGrady, Novak, Millsap, Billups are on his team.

The game started soon, Tang Tian sat on the sidelines and watched.

Cole beat fast, but Thibodeau was clearly overwhelmed.

Without those three-point shooters, Yao Ming was heavily double-teamed under the basket, and both Sun Yue and Barria's three-pointers were not allowed.

This is also expected by Tang Tian. Cole's understanding of basketball is advanced. This fast-paced play is the future trend of the league.

However, in the one-sided game, Sun Yue played a lot of presence on the defensive end.

When training before, Sun Yue often missed people and lost position, but at this time, whether it was against Novak or Billups, he could hold it. When assisting defense, he also covered McGrady.

I can see that he is indeed ready to play.

前 Before the match that night, Tang Tian put Sun Yue on the activation list.

The turbulent Warriors team completely lost the momentum of last season at eight o'clock. Although it is still bombarded, the team's offensive efficiency has fallen sharply.

黑 Last season, the Warriors of the Black Eights were not the opponents of the Rockets at all. After all, the Rockets had a lead of 31 points and 16 points after finishing the first quarter.

The huge gap made Tang Tian bold in employing people.

一 At the beginning of the second quarter, he replaced Sun Yue.

The Rockets' lineup is Barria, Sun Yue, Novak, Scola and Mark Gasol.

The Warriors still have Ellis in the starting lineup. The remaining four are Azubuike, Marco Belinelli, Matt Barnes and veteran Chris Webber.

The Rockets 'bench lineup defends a 3-2 defense, and the defense defends the Warriors' three-pointers from the outside.

Ellis drew the ball to the frontcourt, and even played two pick-and-rolls with Barnes and Azouq without getting a three-pointer. He saw that his defender was replaced by Sun Yue. breakthrough.

Ellis' speed was very fast, Scola under the basket came out to assist, he directly changed to the right side of the sudden, leaning on a low-handed layup by Sun Yue.

Sun Yue jumped up and blocked, but Ellis made a folding layup in the air.

"Snapped!"

Sun Yue hit Ellis's hand.

The referee sounded a whistle, signalling that it was a thug foul.

Sun Yue held her head in her hands.

"Don't start easily." Tang Tian stood up from the sideline at this time to remind loudly.

This is not Sun Yue's problem alone. Rookies like to block shots. Ellis has strong personal ability and is easily fouled by deception.

He Sunyue heard Tang Tian's reminder and nodded.

Ellis made two free throws to help the Warriors continue to increase points.

The Rockets' offense, Barria and Gasol hit the free-throw line, and then went straight to the basket.

看到 After seeing the Warriors' defensive contraction, a point was given to Sun Yue who went to the perimeter.

悦 Sun Yue received the ball, a three-pointer gesture.

Bellinelli slammed aside.

But at this moment, Sun Yue suddenly slammed the ball, and then threw the ball to Novak at the bottom corner.

Novak took the ball directly and shot it.

"唰!"

Three-point response to the net.

Tang Tian nodded. The ball was handled well. It seems that Sun Yue has made progress in the development league.

The Warriors' offense, Ellis took advantage in the previous round. This round directly asked Azubuk for a pick-and-roll. After switching to Sun Yue's defense, he then directly signaled his teammates to pull away.

"Monta, this is a lesson for the newcomer," said Brin of the commentator.

希望 "I hope this lesson will not last long." Mark Jackson joked with a smile.

Tang Tian stared at the field tightly at this time.

As the two commentary shows, the NBA is a cruel place. The best basketball players in the world compete on this field, which means that everyone will seize every opportunity to show themselves and prove their worth.

Regardless of whether you are a draft pick, a lottery or second-round pick, or a short-term worker, as long as your opponent finds a clear advantage in the matchup, he will hit you until the end.

This is also the reason why Tang Tian didn't go to Sun Yue before. It's okay to play once. Playing a few times will really destroy the player's self-confidence.

Ellis changed direction, then changed direction.

Sun Yue's center of gravity began to fluctuate.

Seizing the moment when Sun Yue's center of gravity was unstable, Ellis "snaped" and accelerated, slamming directly from the right to the basket.

Sun Yue was cleaned.

Gasol under the basket was stuck in place by Webber in advance ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Ellis had widened in front of him, he directly chose to pick the basket.

But at this moment, a shadow came behind him.

Ellis received the ball, but the hand shadow above him was still there.

He made another layup in the air with a change of hands.

球 The ball was too difficult, and the ball was wiped off the rebound from the other side.

The rebound was taken down by that hand.

Alice turned back, and then saw the figure's master, Sun Yue! That rookie!

"Wow, this rookie's movement speed and physical talent are quite good, Monta cares." Jackson said.

"Yes, but honestly I'm not surprised. Since Tang Tian joined the Rockets, the Rockets rookie can always surprise people. It seems this Chinese rookie named Sun is no exception." Brin said watching Substitute the Rockets.

Tong Tangtian nodded with satisfaction at this time.

Sun Yue, it did change.

His ability has improved compared to before the development of the alliance, but the improvement is actually not so obvious. The obvious change is his attitude.

Just now this ball, Ellis actually shook him away. Actually, Ellis also thought so, but Sun Yue did not give up after being shaken away, but strove to chase forward, with long hands and long legs. Let him catch up at the last minute.

As soon as he dismissed the enemy, Sun Yue successfully interfered.

"Damn!" Ellis also realized this and punched angrily.

However, at this moment, Sun Yue raised his hand, slammed a long ball, and threw the ball directly to the front court.

Barria just crossed the center line at this time.
