NBA: Being criticized for half a year at the beginning

Tang Yu left the pre-match press conference in the face of cheers. These reporters were very hard-working. Sometimes they had to drink three cups of coffee for one game. They all remembered Tang Yu's generosity.

After returning to the locker room, Tang Yu did not give the players any more poisonous chicken soup tonight. He left everything before the game to Stevens to solve.

The Dynasty Center was packed with people. The entire arena was surrounded by red. Tang Yu prepared a red Rockets T-shirt for each player entering the arena.

The slogan of Houston Rockets was deafening in the Dynasty Center!

Tang Yu shook hands with Gentry, the coach of the visiting Suns, and returned to his position. The players of both sides were also making final preparations.

The Rockets will have a three-person commentary team for each game from the beginning of this game. Tonight, it is Bobby Jackson and June Barry plus a Rockets legend "big man" Robert Horry.

Horry is synonymous with 'Mr. Clutch'. His career is a model of role players. He has won seven championship trophies in his career and scored countless key goals. He is a super player born for big scenes!

"Hey Carrot, how does it feel to be back in this city?" Bobby Jackson asked Horry with a smile.

"Haha, they are still so enthusiastic about me. I really enjoy the days here. It is the beginning of my wonderful career!"

Joan Barry asked jokingly: "Carrot, what do you think of this Rockets? What else do they need to change?"

Horry laughed again: "Come on, look at how many records they have broken. I think they only lack a championship. If I were Tang Yu, I would let Stephen and James change some of their defensive habits in the summer! But even so, the combination of the two of them is already the most perfect. If..."

Horry paused and didn't say anything else. Bobby Jackson immediately took over.

"Carrot, you mean if these two have defense, then the league will usher in the finale! You must have thought of this, so you didn't say it."

"Okay, I admit that you are right. If the two of them have the defense of the Bulls duo and the Lakers duo, they will become another epoch-making combination in the history of the league!"

Joan Barry saw that the players of both sides had begun to enter the court one after another, and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Okay gentlemen, let's introduce the starting lineups of both sides first. The Rockets have made major adjustments to the starting lineup. The team's center Yao Ming sat on the bench in this game, Jordan started the game, and Yi Jianlian also appeared in the starting lineup. The Rockets did not make any changes to the players in other positions."

Then Joan Barry introduced the lineup of the visiting team Phoenix Suns. Gentry's lineup was exactly the same as the regular season.

Point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Jason Richardson, small forward Grant Hill, power forward Amar'e Stoudemire and center Channing Frye.

After the players from both sides shook hands, the game started quickly. Jordan stepped on the spring to press the "Little Overlord" Stoudemire to help the Rockets get the first offensive opportunity.

Alian got the ball and gave it to Harden, who crossed the center line slowly.

Curry started his long-distance running mode again. He was deeply taught by Tang Yu. When you meet Nash, you just run. If you don't tire him, you will definitely not be able to defend this master on the defensive end.

In ancient times, Deron played against Paul, and now Curry plays against Nash!

Although Nash was running in a small circle, he couldn't withstand the pick-and-roll of the Rockets players, which consumed more energy.

After running two laps, Harden didn't give the ball to Curry. The former and Jordan picked and rolled and attracted double defense to directly help Jordan to successfully catch the dunk!

After landing, "Uncle Liu" showed a fierce expression and beat his chest to celebrate!

The Rockets players ignited the atmosphere of the Dynasty Center with the first ball at the beginning, and the fans immediately entered the established procedure.

After cheering, they began to shout for defense!

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

On the Sun side, Nash broke through Curry and made a layup, also scoring two points.

In the regular season, the Suns tried to let Richardson defend Curry, but he couldn't keep up with Curry's speed.

The media believed that the only person who could keep up with Curry was Barbosa, the "Brazilian Lightning", but Gentry didn't do so because of his stubbornness.

Both sides scored a goal after the opening. After Harden organized the frontcourt, this time he passed the ball to Curry who came out from the baseline.

The latter faked a shot and passed the assisting Stoudemire into the penalty area. Grant Hill assisted Curry and made a wonderful pass to Carter on the outside. The Canadian flying man opened the Rockets' three-point account tonight with a three-pointer.

The two sides went back and forth on the offensive end, and neither gave in. Although both wanted to do a good job of defense, both teams had their own

The two sides did not pull the score apart in the first quarter, but the score was very big, which can be described as a big opening and closing.

36-33, Tang Yu's team entered the intermission with a three-point lead.

Tang Yu was very satisfied with the team's offense, but on the defensive end, Curry and Harden were really blown up by the Suns' backcourt combination, and the paper-like defense also made Tang Yu speechless.

Even if Tang Yu used a more flexible lineup, he would not have time to switch to a team like the Suns.

In the second quarter, Tang Yu simply separated Curry and Harden and paired them with a black bey during the substitute period to improve the defensive environment of the two.

The Suns also changed to a rotation lineup, with Dudley, Barbosa and Amundson on the court.

Curry was on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter, and Harden and Yao Ming were on the court with Beverly, Ibaka and Yi Jianlian at the same time.

The defensive ability of this lineup is relatively good. After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets really defended the Suns' two consecutive attacks.

Yao Ming also scored points in the paint, and the gap between the two teams tended to widen.

At 10:08 in the second quarter, Barbosa's layup after breaking through Harden was blocked by the defensive A-League from behind.

Harden immediately switched offense and defense after picking up the floor ball, and Beverley quickly received Harden's pass and attacked the Suns' basket.

Suns player Dudley used a dirty trick in the air to knock Black Bay away when Beverley had already jumped.

'Beep~'

'Bang! '

The referee's whistle sounded along with the sound of Beverley falling heavily to the floor, and Black Bay fell to the ground!

Suns players Dudley and Amundsen are both notorious thorns.

Tang Yu immediately shouted on the sidelines and roared at the referee.

"Fuck, this is murder!"
