All-Around Forward Swingman

The Rockets flew back to Houston that night to prepare for the game against the Knicks the next day.

This game is quite interesting. First of all, the Rockets will present McGrady, Scola and others with championship rings at home. This is the first time McGrady has returned to the Rockets to play since he was traded to the Knicks.

Yao Ming, who was resting at home, invited McGrady, Scola and others to dinner at Yao Restaurant. Yang Shan also invited him because he was still suspended.

The Rockets were playing against the Thunder at this time, but it seemed that McGrady was in a good mood, and Scola didn't have too much dissatisfaction. After all, New York is a big city, and with McGrady as the big brother covering him, life was pretty good~.

On January 10, local time in the United States, the game between the Rockets and the Knicks began.

CCTV also chose to broadcast the game. Before the game started, Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, personally awarded championship rings to McGrady, Scola and others.

McGrady thanked the fans happily. Of course, the most exciting thing for the fans is that Yang Shan, who was suspended for 10 games, finally came back.

"Through these ten games, we can see that the Rockets have a 50% winning percentage of 5 wins and 5 losses. If we look at last year's situation, they may not even enter the playoffs. Rockets with Yang Shan and without Yang Shan The team is completely two teams. With Yang Shan, the team won 29 consecutive victories. Adding the Cavaliers game, the Rockets lost 6 games in the last 11 games.

Director Zhang was in a good mood before the game, talking eloquently to the camera. .

After the championship ring presentation ceremony, the game began.

The Knicks sent: Nate Robinson, McGrady, Wilson Chandler, Louis Scola, and Tim Thomas lineup.

For the Rockets, Du Hong, Yang Shan, James Posey, Yinwei Ji and Jordan will start.

Because there was a link to award the championship ring before the game, Yao Ming, who was recovering from his injury, also went to the scene to watch the game.

At the beginning of the game, Yang Shan, who hadn't played for nearly half a month, was excited to Chris Duhon just after halftime, and Duhong passed the basketball to Yang Shan.

The Knicks' lineup looks very good, but they have a big problem, that is, the team's defensive ability is not good, and the center and guard's point guard positions are not tall enough. Tim Thomas, who is the starting center, is tall Only 2 meters 08, and he is already a 32-year-old veteran.

0…ask for flowers………………………

As for the starting point guard, Nate Robinson is only 1.75 meters tall. Although his physical fitness is good, but he is taller in the NBA where there are so many people. If the offense can barely have some advantages, the defense is completely a short board.

Nate Robinson, although he plays the point guard position, is not good at organizing the team's offense at all, so he acts as a fake point guard on the field. After halftime, he will hand the ball to McGrady, let Maddie takes on the task of organizing.

This directly led to McGrady's assists this season reaching 7.6 times. No. 1 among non-point guards, even higher than James.

Of course McGrady can't defend Yang Shan, it's Wilson Chandler who defends him. Both he and Yang Shan were rookies last year. However, Yang Shan was selected as the No. 1 pick, and he was selected by the Knicks with the 23rd overall pick in the first round.

In the first season, Wilson Chandler didn't play much, started 16 times, and averaged 7.3 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. .
