NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Before the game, Tang Yu shook hands with Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, who was very confident in Tang Yu's coaching ability, and the two of them also had a commercial exchange.

The Magic's starting lineup continued their regular starting lineup this season, point guard Jamal Nelson, shooting guard Michael Pietrus, small forward Turkoglu, power forward Rashard Lewis, center Dwight Howard.

The Rockets' lineup tonight was relatively conservative, with Carter returning to the bench and Battier starting.

The other positions remained unchanged, including point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard James Harden, power forward Serge Ibaka and center Yao Ming.

There were still some Rockets fans holding up their 23-game winning streak at the Magic's home court tonight, but most of them were Chinese who came to support Yao Ming, and of course, Tang Yu.

The game started soon, and Howard jumped up to help the home team get the first offensive right.

Nelson organized the offense, and "Mr. Billion" Lewis put on the pick-and-roll, but Ibaka did not step forward to delay.

Nelson made a clever change of direction and fooled Ibaka. Yao Ming could only choose to defend Nelson who entered the paint area.

Nelson threw the ball into the air, and the "monster" descended, and an alley-oop dunk gave the visiting team a blow.

"Serge, what are you doing?" Tang Yu immediately yelled at Ibaka on the sidelines. He should have gone forward to delay Nelson.

Not only did he give the opponent space to pass him, but he also exposed the entire inside line to the opponent's gun. This is unforgivable.

Curry organized the offense on the Rockets side and found Yao Ming in the first ball, but unfortunately Yao Ming's low-post fadeaway failed to hit.

Ibaka made up for his mistake and turned the tide in the Magic's inside line, and made consecutive tip-ins and tapped the ball into the basket.

The Magic are worthy of being the Eastern Conference champion last season. They have a very high understanding and proficiency in tactics.

At the first technical timeout of 6 minutes and 23 seconds, the Magic led the Rockets 13-11.

Tang Yu called Stevens to his side, "Tell the players to speed up the pace, replace DeAndre, Yi Jianlian and Vince. Let Harden break through and commit more fouls."

The offense of both teams was relatively slow in the first half of the first quarter, and the score was not too high.

This is completely different from the Rockets' game style. The Rockets' average score has now reached 115.4 points. They have to score nearly 30 points per quarter. 11 points in half a quarter is not a Rockets game at all.

The Rockets' low hit rate today is also a reason. Harden was somewhat restrained by the opponent under Pietrus' defense.

While Stevens was making arrangements, Tang Yu looked at the Magic's bench. Stan Van Gundy is worthy of being a famous coach. His ability is really very strong.

Using the tall and fast Pietrus to defend Harden can be said to be a clever trick, but this alone may not be enough.

After the timeout, the Rockets replaced three people in a row, and the Magic actually replaced Nelson with Redick.

"I didn't even replace Pietrus. This Van Gundy is really a cunning guy. You are a thousand-year-old fox and you are playing Liao Zhai with me!" Tang Yu muttered to himself.

Because he used Chinese, others couldn't understand and thought Tang Yu was thinking of some countermeasures.

After the game resumed, Harden immediately followed Tang Yu's instructions and continued to attack the Magic's defense.

In just three offensive rounds, Pietrus received two defensive fouls, and Stan Van Gundy had to adjust the lineup and replace Barnes.

Harden's ability to commit fouls has increased day by day after Tang Yu's guidance. It must be said that the speed of young people's improvement under Tang Yu is fast.

Looking at Pietrus who was frustrated and left the court, Tang Yu couldn't help but want to laugh. This is just the beginning. The whole league will soon tremble for Harden's foul-making style.

3 minutes and 29 seconds, the second official timeout in the first quarter, in three minutes, the Rockets played a small climax of 10-3.

Curry made two consecutive three-pointers in this attack, both of which were from Harden's breakthrough. The Curry-Den connection has now become an important scoring method for the Rockets.

The score immediately became 21-14, and the Rockets overtook their opponents by 7 points.

Just when everyone thought that the Rockets were about to take advantage of the victory, Tang Yu replaced Harden and Curry.

McGrady and Iverson came on the court. This was the first time that Tang Yu put Carter, McGrady and Iverson on the court at the same time.

Tang Yu also wanted to see whether it was a beautiful scene or a car accident when these three played together.

Before going on the court, Tang Yu told the two that McGrady and Iverson were the organizers of the team, and McGrady would take on more organizational roles.

When No. 1, No. 3 and No. 15, all in white jerseys, stepped onto the court at the same time, Tang Yu was a little surprised.

Looking at the backs of the three people, carrying so much youth and memories, now the three are no longer at their peak, even if they have countless personal honors, it is difficult to touch the final trophy!

"Hey!" Tang Yu shouted.

The three of them turned back at the same time, looking at him questioningly.He.

"Come on guys! Prove that you are not old yet, and your youth is still there!"

Tang Yu shouted out his inner thoughts and applauded to encourage the three.

The three were stunned. They didn't expect Tang Yu to have such a tender side.

T-Mac's eyes, which were originally unable to open, opened half a point. Iverson and Carter couldn't help but adjust their headbands.

The three people's eyes became hot at the same time. No one could have thought that three of the four shooting guards could play in the same team at the same time.

When Xi Ke had already won all the honors, Dong Ai Nan Mai Bei Ka were still fighting for the last championship. How much they needed this last crown!

Tang Yu clenched his fist tightly with one hand off the court, and the three turned around and left.

Magic guard 'White Chocolate' Jason Williams pushed forward, and after passing half court, he was careless and prepared to pass the ball to Turkoglu.

Carter took the initiative and directly shot the ball behind Turkoglu, and the basketball fell right in front of Iverson.

Carter and McGrady immediately rushed to the Magic half court like lightning. Iverson jumped up and swung his right hand while dribbling, making a beautiful ground pass. Redick wanted to stretch his foot to block the pass, but unfortunately he failed.

McGrady received the ball. At this moment, the Rockets were already 2-0 in the frontcourt. McGrady looked back at his cousin Carter and immediately understood.

McGrady threw the ball to the backboard. Carter jumped high. After the basketball bounced back, he caught the ball with both hands and dunked it directly into the basket in the air.

"Boom!" The entire Amway Center was instantly ignited. After landing, Carter rode the motorcycle with both hands and made his signature celebration.

"Yes!" Tang Yu stood up excitedly. This ball was so wonderful that it seemed to make him see the "demigod" of the past.

McGrady also smiled and walked towards Carter, high-fived him to celebrate, and then pointed at the "answer" Iverson in the backcourt.

The Rockets' bench exploded immediately, and Curry and Harden waved their towels wildly.

"OMG, what did I see! Haha, this is crazy!" Harden was a little incoherent, and he and Curry laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

Uncle Mu stood up and started to "shake his finger", but this time the meaning seemed different, it was more of a compliment.

The cheers of the away fans were equally deafening. The cooperation of these three people on the same court was probably only seen in the All-Star Game.

The Magic served the ball, and Iverson took the initiative to lead the defense of "White Chocolate" throughout the court. At this moment, the fighting spirit of the answer was also aroused.

His defense made Williams very uncomfortable. After half court, he gave the ball to Lewis, who was ready to play against A-Lin.

He kept backing up to A-Lin for physical confrontation, but A-Lin was no longer the "Wu Xia Amon" who was afraid of physical confrontation.

Bang bang, the sound of continuous muscle collisions stimulated everyone at the scene, and A-Lin actually withstood Lewis' back-to-back.

Seeing that the back-to-back was ineffective, Lewis turned around and planned to cut into the basket for a layup, and A-Lin was carried behind him by Lewis' iron elbow.

But just as Lewis came up, a black iron tower appeared in front of him. It was the "Uncle Liu" Jordan who made timely defense.

'Pah! '

The basketball was fanned out of the sideline, "Wow!" Jordan was extremely excited after landing, and bumped his chest with Alian.

Tang Yu smiled on the sidelines. The performance of the three veterans also boosted the enthusiasm of Alian and Jordan. Both of them were unwilling to be lonely.

With 3 seconds left in the offensive time, the Magic made a hasty shot, but it was a pity that it was an air ball. The five players on the court directly defended the opponent for 24 seconds.

The Rockets were in high spirits. Seeing that everyone had it, Iverson naturally had to show off his skills.

Facing Bai Qiao's defense, Iverson dribbled the ball with a continuous crossover step, and then pulled back with a fake move of worshiping Buddha. Williams stumbled, and Iverson directly pulled up.

"Swish!" The basketball went into the net, and Iverson still gave the same answer, I'll decide your ankle!

‘Beep’

The referee signaled the Magic to pause, and Stan Van Gundy could no longer bear it. This was absolutely a naked humiliation. He attacked the five players on the court with a beer belly.

Nelson could only return to the court to organize the offense again, and the three-minute performance time was over soon.

After the first quarter, the Rockets led 29-20 by 9 points and entered the second quarter.

Tang Yu gave each of them a hug when McGrady and the other two left the court.

“Good job guys, it seems I have to increase your joint time! Maybe you can have a return to the old days!”

“I’m not old yet, it’s the two of them who are old. Haha!” Iverson laughed.

McGrady said: “You are old!”

“It’s the boss who is old, we are all young! How about the three of us fight him?” Carter made a great contribution.

McGrady and Iverson both nodded in agreement!
