"Houston Rockets player No. 52 - Greg Oden is on the court!"

As the announcement from the technical station sounded, the Emperor, who had been away from the game for a long time, finally stepped onto the court wearing his unique No. 52 jersey!

As soon as Oden came on the court, he walked straight towards Love.

After yesterday's training, Mark Jackson told him that in the first two games after his comeback, his playing time would only be 5 to 10 minutes at most.

Therefore, Oden needs to show his value in the shortest possible time.

And now the best way to show value is to guard Love, who is in hot form, to help the Rockets reverse the situation!

Oden made this very clear before he took the field!

And Love also looked a little surprised after seeing Oden come on the court.

He heard the news that the other party announced his comeback.

But Love originally thought that Oden would only get short playing time during the garbage time of the game.

After all, this seven-foot-long man has been injured for more than six months, so it stands to reason that it will take a lot of time to return to competitive form.

[The Rockets are too bold, right? Aren't you afraid that he won't be able to adapt to the intensity of the game and get injured again?]

Le Fu said doubtfully in his heart.

Just when the God of Love was stunned, Oden actually spoke first and started talking trash: "Next, you won't be able to fight so easily."

Hearing this, Le Fu smiled slightly.

Like Ray Allen, he is a humble gentleman on the court.

When Love heard Oden's provocative words, instead of being angry, he was pleased with the opponent's fighting spirit.

"Then come on."

Love responded.

"???"

Now it was Oden who was confused.

At this moment, the Timberwolves took a side kick.

Love instantly put away his smile, stepped forward, and started asking for the ball in the low post.

Wesley Johnson, who was outside the three-point line, saw this, hit the ground, and handed the ball to the inside.

Oden also reacted at this time, concentrated on his defense, and prepared to defend.

After Love received the ball, he began to think about how to launch an offense.

In this game, he relied on his strength advantage to fight hard in the low post, and it worked every time.

But now, the opposing defender has become Oden, who is 2.13 meters tall and burly, and Love inevitably feels hesitant.

[Should we switch to a face-to-face attack?]

He thought secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Paul George suddenly came out from the baseline and cut the ball behind Love!

"yes!"

Mark Jackson off the court saw this scene and raised his arms in excitement to celebrate.

This is Oden's deterrence!

He didn't even really start to defend. His burly body alone made Love hesitate.

And if you hesitate, you will lose!

Love woke up from a dream after being intercepted and immediately began to defend.

However, with his weight, it is naturally impossible to keep up with George's pace.

Pickled pepper took his long legs and drove straight into the hinterland of the forest wolf.

"bang!"

A powerful one-handed dunk officially kicked off the Rockets' counterattack!

............

In the transition between offense and defense, Love once again asked for the ball in the low post.

It can be seen from his firm eyes that he wants to make up for the lost points caused by the mistake just now.

This time Love was determined to continue using the same tactics he used against Griffin and Tucker.

After catching the ball, he first used his back to feel the position of the defensive player behind him.

Then, Love shook his shoulders and turned around to break through.

Oden was inexperienced in defense and took a step to the right.

But after discovering that this was a fake move, he immediately returned to the defensive position in small steps.

The speed was so fast that even Le Fu didn't expect it.

When his plan failed, the God of Love sank his center of gravity, concentrated all his strength on his shoulders, and slammed forward...

"Bang~"

This hit Oden hard on the chest!

However, Rockets 52 not only did not take half a step back, but Love, who took the initiative to exert force, took a step back due to the interaction of forces.

"???"

"!!!"

For a moment, not only Love was a little confused, but other players present also looked at the two of them in surprise.

You know, so far in this game, Cupid has used brute force to defeat two Rockets generals.

But now, he is completely defeated by Oden!

At this moment, Le Fu's heart was in turmoil.

It's not like he never thought that relying on strength to confront Oden would fail.

After all, the latter is an orthodox No. 5 player, while Love is just a power forward.

What the God of Love didn't expect was that he took the initiative to attack hard, and the opponent only passively defended, but it was himself who bounced away!

This makes Lefu somewhat embarrassed!

Fortunately, the ball is still in his hands.

"I still don't believe it..."

Lefu muttered, his heart skipped a beat, and he hit him with all his strength from behind!

"Bang~"

The two collided head-on again.

The difference from before is that this time Oden not only withstood Love's impact, but also reached out his right hand and knocked the ball out!

Curry had quick eyes and quick hands and controlled the ball immediately.

The Rockets counterattack again!

During the transition, Curry saw Danny Green coming in at high speed.

With a flick of his wrist, the basketball accurately flew to the open hands of Green.

The latter did not hesitate after receiving the ball and immediately shot a three-pointer.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shua~"

The basketball hits the net!

The Nets were even turned upside down.

With this goal, the Rockets closed the point difference to two points!

Since Oden came on the court, he has already contributed two successful defenses.

At this time, teammates took advantage of the Timberwolves' break to serve and ran to Oden's side.

Some high-fived him, and some patted his back, all happy for Oden.

Auden smiled innocently.

After being away from the competition for half a year, he is actually very excited to be able to compete with the masters as soon as he returns!

Being able to defend Love for two consecutive rounds is definitely an unexpected surprise.

Before Oden came on the stage, I couldn't even imagine such a situation!

On the other hand, the Timberwolves' morale also began to waver after their leader Love's consecutive offensive failures.

On the offensive end, Beasley, who had been suppressing his offensive desire, began to "seize power".

But facing George's defense, he failed in two consecutive singles.

As for the Rockets with five small lineups, once there is an opportunity for a fast break counterattack, their firepower will be completely unleashed!

Curry and Green each hit chasing three-pointers in the counterattack.

The Rockets launched an 11:0 shock wave in one fell swoop and successfully overtook the score!

At this time, the head coach of the Timberwolves realized that something was wrong and called a timeout.

However, the Rockets' morale has risen!

After the timeout, the Yao-Mai team came on the court one after another, and the Rockets hit a climax of 20:5.

In less than one quarter, they went from being behind to leading by a huge margin.

The biggest contributor to the counterattack, Greg Oden, took a rest during that timeout.

In the statistics, he may only have three rebounds and one steal recorded.

But fans who have watched the game will know that Oden played a vital role in this game!

Without his strong defense, Love would continue to make trouble in the paint, and the Rockets would not be able to launch so many easy counterattacks.

............

In the next game, Oden sat on the bench, joking with his teammates while watching the game.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Timberwolves at home without any blood, 125:107.

Sitting in Houston, Shen Fei turned off the TV with satisfaction, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Mark Jackson:

"In the next game, Oden's playing time can be appropriately increased!"
