The Godfather of Basketball
v1 Chapter 8: 1 face aggressive
The first opponent of the Rockets Summer League game was the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls traded the No. 4 pick from the Trail Blazers at this year's NBA Draft and then selected Tyrus Thomas, who has an explosive talent.
The Bulls performed well last season with Kirk Hinrich, Ruhr Deng, and Ben Gordon, forming a new "Trident". They signed an All-Star insider Ben Wallace in the summer and the lineup tends Complete, the only thing missing is an inside scoring point, which is why they chose Thomas.
Thomas's physical quality is historical. He is soaring in the university and is called Vince Carter in the post.
Such excellent conditions also made the media have high hopes for him, calling him one of the most shining stars in this summer league.
However, Tang Tian knew that Thomas lacked offensive skills, which was the Swift copy.
So he had already arranged for the team before the game, pushing him out of the three-second zone, and the rest was not a problem at all.
In addition to Thomas, there is another player in the Bulls team that is quite eye-catching. It is not how strong he is, but because he was Quinter Woods who was expelled from the team by Tang Tian.
Woods was dismissed from the team without a hit. He was very upset in the face of the reporter before the game. He directly opened Tang Tian: "A rookie with a group of junk players, and still won the championship? Is the yellow race special? He shouldn't have appeared in this league, he should get out of this league after this match! "
Woods's words were full of ridicule and even racial discrimination, but this did not attract a large wave of protest, but instead made more and more fans watching the lively.
In 1966, the American "black godfather of basketball" Dan Haskins broke the boundary of skin color and allowed black people to appear on the basketball court. However, to this day, the discrimination suffered by the yellow race in the field of basketball is no more than that of the black people. low.
Most American fans are waiting to see this Rockets tortured by blood, and then Tang Tian is swept out.
Tang Tian's head is still dizzy, he just sat on the bench to watch before the training started.
I waited for the game to start immediately. Xibodu saw Tang Tian still sitting and couldn't help but asked: "Would you like to see a team doctor?"
Tang Tian waved his hand: "It's okay, just hit it like you did during training."
A team's performance, three points to see on-site performance, seven points to see off-field training, this Rockets training run-in is almost the same, even without his command, they have enough strength.
And among the Bulls players, he is familiar to Thomas and their 13th-selected Sefolosha, the team's ability is very limited.
Sibodu didn't know this, he shook his head, and then he was ready to go.
比赛 This game is played at the Thomas Mark Center Arena, home of the University of Las Vegas, which can accommodate up to more than 18,000 people.
The NBA Summer League is also an expansion of the NBA ’s influence, allowing those who ca n’t afford tickets to watch an NBA game up close. The ticket is very low. Although it is the first day of the game, it has also attracted nearly 5,000 spectators to watch the game. Most of them are local students.
There is also a commentary on the side of the court. The commentator for this game is Royce White from the University of Las Vegas and his partner Jeff Stein.
The game will start immediately, and the starting players on both sides will appear one after another.
On the Rockets side, starting center Chuck Hayes, power forward Paul Millsap, small forward Steve Nowak, and outside control are Will Bynum and Jose Barria. Guard combination.
一 As soon as this combination came out, it took a while to get ridicule of Siwite.
上帝 "God, what kind of lineup is this! Both the inside line are less than 2 meters tall, and the outside line are two 1.83 meters short. Are you sure you can play this game?"
The fans on the sidelines were also laughing. Many of them came to see Tang Tian jokes. This starting lineup has already touched their laughter.
"At least this is a good start for the Bulls. Tyrus Thomas is going to experience the feeling of" Shark "O'Neal playing inside." Stein also echoed the ridicule.
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, the game started immediately, Thomas jumped over Millsap and gained the Bulls offensive opportunity.
Thomas came to the frontcourt and reached out to the defender to pass the ball.
He is very confident in his physical fitness. When he was in college, relying on his physical talents, he was enough to crush everything.
Defending Thomas is Millsap.
I glanced at the inside line that was a head shorter than himself. He said nothing and chose to attack with the ball.
He had heard of Tang Tian before the game, but now he didn't expect Tang Tian to use such a short player to defend him.
"The Bulls come out on top!" Looking at the match on the field, White of the commentary couldn't help cheering in advance.
"boom!"
But just then, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Thomas didn't push Millsap as easily as he thought. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com stopped the ball after a confrontation.
The audience was shocked, and Thomas himself was aggressive.
矮 This short player is not tall or strong, but he is terrifying.
Thomas's assault came to an abrupt halt. Before he could take the next move, Millsap suddenly reached out and "snapped" the basketball in his hand.
The ball is broken!
Tang Tian smiled at this time.
萨 Millsap, who has just joined the league, has not yet developed so many offensive methods. What allows him to gain a foothold in this league is his excellent strength and wingspan.
Millsap succeeded in stealing the ball, the Rockets quickly pushed for a fast break, and the two small men of Baria and Bynum were on a hot wheel.
Seflosa is famous for his defense, but in the face of the cooperation of the two defenders, he failed to find the best. Finally, Bynum easily made a fast layup and scored.
The Rockets went to the next city first.
傻 The fans on the sidelines also looked dumbfounded, so fast!
"damn it!"
Thomas cursed, and by the time of the Bulls' offensive round, he wanted to pass again.
意识到 After realizing that Millsep's power is not weaker than himself, he called his inside partner to make a pick-and-roll and switched to Hayes.
I ca n’t bully Millsap, it ’s always possible to bully and bully you, a super short insider. You know that basketball is a tall sport.
Thomas turned his back and prepared to eat Hayes hard.
Tangtian couldn't help but reach out and touched his nose at this time. Thomas hit Hayes like this, it was a little funny.
But other people don't think so. They all mourned for Hayes. After the ball mostly knocked open, it was a slam dunk. They finally could see the terrifying power of Thomas the beast.
