Chapter 645: Has a camera

An important addition for the Rockets this season is to get Trevor Ariza.
The 3D player who used to be the boss of the Rockets for a season and nearly knocked Houston's rim into a role player was still very good.
In today's situation where every team needs 3d players very much, Ariza's arrival makes up the last short board of the Rockets lineup.
Rockets Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, small forward Ariza, defenders Harden and Beverly.
It should be said that this is a very balanced configuration. After the last season, the team integrated quite well.
If there is any defect, it may be that Smith's point projection ability is insufficient.
Although Smith dare to vote, unfortunately it is not accurate.
The back line replaced Jeremy Lin with Beverly, making up for Harden's inherent shortcomings in close defense.
The striker released Parsons and Ariza proved to be more useful than Parsons.
Of course, if you let go of the players you cultivated in vain and then go shopping on the free market and buy on the trading market, Morey can do it.
Are you stupid?
No, I just want to save money.
As for whether you can win the championship, let's do it.
If you have a chance, you can rush and save money if you have no chance.
So the Rockets lineup looks good, can play in the playoffs, and can attract fans.
But the distance from the championship is not small.
From the perspective of the lineup, the Pacers may not be much different from the Rockets. The only difference is that the Pacers have Li Liang, and the Pacers are in the east.
The core of the Rockets is Harden, and the Rockets are in the West.
The match was fired very hot before the game. It was broadcast live in the United States and watched by a large number of fans in China.
After all, the Rockets are the home team of Chinese fans. Although Yao Ming retired, the Rockets have nothing to do with Chinese players.
But such a big market in China, whether you like it or not, the rocket has to be hung on China to some blood.
In fact, Texas, where Houston is located, may be one of the regions with the worst racial discrimination in the United States.
If it were not for Yao Ming, the Rockets would not be associated with China.
In terms of the number of Chinese, there are more Chinese in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco on the east and west coasts.
It can only be said that the Rockets are lucky.
Because of this, there are a lot of Chinese fans in Houston. Before the start of the game at night, the Toyota Center was rarely full.
It's not easy. Toyota Center can fill the audience before the game starts, which is equivalent to the Heat fans not leaving early.
After the hot cheerleader's dance, after the opening ceremony, the game between the two sides will begin.
The navy blue stripe away jersey worn by the Pacers tonight looks out of place in the red Toyota Center.
George Hill still didn't play tonight, and he was replaced by Donald Sloan.
Fortunately, the Rockets are one of the few point guards in the league that basically have no autonomous attack.
It can be said that the center of the Rockets with shooting guards, the classic combination of the league, has now become non-mainstream.
Now the mainstream of the league is super small forwards or super point guards with various shooters and meat shield centers.
The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Li Liang walked into the middle circle unwillingly, and he jumped the ball again.
Before Li Liang was always able to fight for the right to get the ball, but now everyone sees him through this routine.
If you don't jump, your opponent won't miss the ball.
So Li Liang still has to jump.
Jumping symbolically, without battling Al Jefferson, Harden got the ball and the game started.
The first goal of the opening, Harden held the ball in high position, Josh Smith came to do the pick and roll, Smith went down, after receiving Harden's pass, Li Liang came to visit, Smith made a short pass to Jeffer of the bottom line Mori.
Jefferson received the ball, Li Liang turned back to make up the defense, Jefferson opened Li Liang to force a layup, the result was Li Liang clicked the ball from behind and missed.
He grabbed the offensive rebound and went on again, was disturbed and still missed!
The referee bit the whistle and didn't blow Li Liang's foul.
Li Liang is a bit of a move this time, after all, his height suffers.
But the referee didn't want to be spitted by Li Liang as soon as he opened the game.
He missed two layups. Li Liang grabbed a backboard and controlled the ball for half.
In the absence of Hill, Li Liang needs a center and a point guard.
Give the ball to JR-Smith, Smith then transfers the ball to Granger.
Li Liang finally gave Granger a cover. Granger broke through and reached a deep position in the basket. Without a chance, he turned and scored the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang is in front of the middle, shooting fake shots to shake Josh Smith, and then...
"Beep!"
The referee whistle, needless to say, free throws.
Smith was so careless, he jumped casually.
You play with Deng Ge every day for training, don't know to be careful?
Li Liang is also a thief. Smith was fouled in the opening game, and he must be defensive.
With two free throws, the Pacers led the Rockets with a 2:0 opening.
However, the Rockets' opening three-pointer feels good.
Beverley made the first three-pointer of the opening test in the offense and hit.
Then the Pacers hit the basket and West's hook did not hit.
Harden counterattacked the ball and passed it to Beverly on the right. Beverly made another three-point shot and returned!
2:6, the Rockets successfully overtake.
Li Liang served Sloan on the bottom line and cursed by the way: "Will you defend? Will you mark? Does the point guard want me to defend?"
Sloan didn't speak.
Be scolded and stand upright.
Then, Sloan held the ball again with Li Liang's pick-and-roll and hit the ball to Li Liang.
Li Liang catches the ball. After a 45-degree cut on the left side, he stops the jumper and hits the board from close range, hitting two points.
Li Liang is now playing more and more like a power forward, pick-and-roll inside, pick-and-roll down, and eating under the basket.
What I don't know is that he is a standard blue collar insider.
If the defender thinks so, it must be a big loss.
The Rockets started offense very well.
Harden immediately hit JR Smith one-on-one on the offensive end, hitting a mid-range jumper with a step back.
Fortunately, Harden faced the provocation of Li Liang's collision with porcelain. He didn't use porcelain to return porcelain, and there was still a medium distance. The retreat was also very chic.
Then Granger received the ball in the middle and broke the ball to West after a breakthrough. West easily made a layup.
Jefferson's defensive pace is still a bit slow.
The offense on both sides felt good, and the Pacers' defensive intensity did not go up.
Subsequently, Ariza held the ball and tried to rush Li Liang's ten fingers.
Very reluctant tossing missed, Li Liang grabbed a backboard and the Pacers quickly counterattacked.
Granger dribble in front, Li Liang followed to catch up, Granger scored the ball to Li Liang, Li Liang received the top of the arc directly three-point shot.
Hit.
7:8, chased by 1 point.
At this time, Deng Ge's stunt is about to appear.
Without saying a word, the middle road broke through and bumped towards Li Liang!
Li Liang turned sideways, [Death Coil] shot, slapped the ball in Deng Ge's hand...
Li Liang used the skills so early, in order to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, let Harden converge, your move is useless to me.
Harden has led the league in free throws this season, far ahead of second place Westbrook.
After his breakthrough, the collision is indeed very strong. If you don't defend, he lays up directly. If you defend, you will be rubbed by his arm and shoulder. Accidentally, it is a foul.
Li Liang used skills to steal Harden's layup and the Pacers countered.
Li Liang rushed to the front, took a three-pointer to take the ball, paused, Josh Smith rushed up from behind, and then rushed over the head.
Li Liang regained his speed and went straight to the basket from the middle. Facing Jefferson, he steadily hit a jumper and hit a jumper.
Too stable. His short-range retro board jumper is really big inside the league.
It’s not easy to prevent, because you have to go very far to prevent it, but it’s easy to leak a lot of inside.
It's better to let him shoot, after all, the shooting percentage is not as high as the layup.
But Li Liang got up, it was really pretty up.
Ariza was attacking, the three-pointer on the right corner missed, and the Rockets' shooting rate was rapidly declining.
The Pacers' man-to-man defense is very much aimed at mid-range shots.
It's time for the Rockets to consider the low singles.
Li Liang received the rebound and then during the offense, Harden followed the bottom line and made a steal.
It seems that Deng Ge will still be defensive, depending on whether he wants it or not.
It is estimated that Li Liang had just stolen it, making him a little angry.
Immediately, Harden rushed to the basket in a counterattack, and his two arms grasped the ball firmly like a big claw, and sent the ball up from the bottom up.
If you want to reach out, hit him on the arm and foul.
If you don't stretch your hand, he will really make a layup.
If you want to block a cap, it is basically difficult to cover it. Because he holds the ball in both hands, the cap will almost certainly hit an arm.
Li Liang is pretty bad. I won’t jump up and block it. You’re rubbing it up, I’ll help you.
Li Liang pushed Harden directly in the back, Harden's center of gravity was too forward, and the person went straight to the bottom line...
"Beep!" Of course the referee must play a foul.
Although Li Liang pushed the ball quite concealed, it was still found.
Li Liang learned this trick from Paul. In the Clippers one season, the good did not learn, the bad learned a lot.
Harden was uncomfortable after being pushed a bit, but he was even more uncomfortable because he tried his tricks repeatedly, which seemed useless in Li Liang's place.
With this ball he won two free throws, but this is not his usual violated posture, he doesn't like it.
This resulted in Harden, who was always accurate in free throws, missed the second free throw, and was taken back by Li Liang.
The offense and defense on both sides became intense.
In general, the Rockets are a team without too many complicated tactics.
As Bird's former teammate, McHale didn't understand tactics anyway.
The two hugged before the game started and said nothing.
They are good partners on the field, but they have little relationship under the field.
The Pacers chose West to force one in the low post.
West's low post technique is still very good~EbookFREE.me~ hit a jumper behind his back and scored two points.
The Pacers' offensive rhythm is getting better and better, and the Rockets seem a little messy.
Harden once again broke through the ball, still hitting the basket, he would not believe in evil!
As a result, Li Liang stood up straight in front of Harden. Harden bumped on Li Liang. When Li Liang fell, Harden fell, and the two fell together.
The referee didn't care anymore. He whistled first. Anyway, there was a foul. He was either you.
Who is that?
Li Liang pointed at Harden and shouted: "Offensive foul, offensive foul!"
Then the referee played Harden offensive foul.
Harden sat on the ground with wide eyes, spread his hands, and looked innocent.
Li Liang got up and patted him, "Don't pretend, get up, there is a camera."
