Two more minutes later, Tucker successfully defended Nene's singles.

The Rockets launched a counterattack.

Griffin took the lead and rushed to the forefront.

Lowry waved his hand and made a long pass to find his teammate in front.

After Griffin received the ball, he found Jordan Hill next to him.

In an instant, Griffin's murderous intentions arose!

I saw him sinking his shoulders and expedite faster than others.

This scene seemed familiar, but in the midst of lightning, Jordan Hill was fooled again.

He felt that he saw the flaw and rushed forward, trying to steal.

But the next moment, Griffin turned around with his right foot as the axis, passed Hill again, and then took off in the air...

“bang!”

Another powerful and powerful one-handed blast!

Jordan Hill, who was overwhelmingly pounced forward, staggered and fell to the ground.

As soon as he wanted to get up, his face met the falling basketball.

Then... the ball hit Hill's face hard.

“woo…”

The fans on the scene couldn't help but exclaim.

Jordan Hill is a bit too miserable.

Not only was he deducted by Yan, but he was also hit in the face by a ball.

The key is... he can't fight back, after all, Griffin is a normal basketball move.

After being smashed, Hill was not angry, but sat on the ground with a confused look on his face and did not get up for a long time.

The progress of today's game is completely different from what he imagined!

Before the game, Hill was very confident in himself and felt that it would be no problem to deal with a first-grade rookie like Griffin.

No matter how bad it is, it is acceptable to fight each other.

Who would have thought that he would be beaten up by Griffin as soon as he came up.

Shen Fei, who was watching the game in the stands, was not surprised by this scene at all.

In his eyes, Hill and Griffin have never been players of the same level.

The former is a passerby of the NBA, and the latter is a person who once picked stars in the sky.

If it weren't for the trouble of injuries, Griffin's talent would be ranked in history, and it was not something Hill could reach.

And in another corner of the beautiful country, Nuggets General Manager, Karnishovas, also watched the game on TV.

He had a serious expression and frowned.

Shortly after Hill registered with the Nuggets, Karnishovas went to the stadium to observe and train.

Hill gives him the feeling...

How to say...

It's OK, but it's not as eye-catching as it was in the previous pre-season.

Hill does have a mid-range shot, but it can only maintain its hit rate when it is open.

This means that he can only "eat cakes".

If he is allowed to play singles with the ball, it will be basically free.

Simply put, the Nuggets didn't get the second Nowitzki, and they couldn't even get the second Jamison (one of the Three Wizards of the Wizards that year).

But Carnishovas paid Anderson and Lawson for Jordan Hill, so it was naturally impossible for him to give up easily.

In addition, Kenyon Martin sprained his ankle some time ago, and Hill made his debut as the starter for the first time.

In fact, Karnishovas still had a little extravagant hope before the game - Hill might have been unacceptable to the local conditions and had not shown his talent yet. This game against the Rockets may become a turning point!

But things went against my expectations, Hill's performance at the beginning can only be described as a disaster.

In the duel with Griffin, he was in a state of being unilaterally crushed!

At this moment, Karnishovas no longer had a chance.

He knew that with Hill's ability, it was impossible to become a star.

Karnishovas could only comfort himself: [The deal did not completely fail. Anderson and Lawson we gave were just ordinary players.]

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

With Griffin's role, the Rockets quickly established a double-digit lead.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, both sides began to send substitutes one after another.

Mark Jackson, as Shen Fei told him, brought Lawson and Courtney Lee to the rotation lineup.

At this moment, the two appeared on behalf of Lowry and McGrady respectively.

Jeremy Lin watched all this calmly on the bench.

Last night, Mark Jackson had already told Shu Hao that his playing time had been much shorter during this period.

Brother Hao was surprised at first, but soon accepted such an arrangement.

He was just out of the draft.

Being able to successfully enter the NBA has exceeded Shuhao's original expectations.

He was very grateful to the Rockets and Chen Fei, and was determined to repay this kind of favor for his recognition.

In other words, as long as it is helpful to the team, Shuhao is willing to do anything, even if it is just cheering for his teammates on the bench.

Moreover, Mark Jackson explained specifically:

"It's not that you're not doing well, but that I want to try all kinds of possibilities early in the season."

"You have to continue to train well and let me see your progress!"

These words gave Brother Hao more confidence.

He immediately said that he would devote himself more hard to the training next time.

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

The eyes returned to the game.

Lawson and Courtney Lee are both playing for the Rockets for the first time this season.

In the previous two games, the two were eager to try, but never got the favor of Mark Jackson.

They were all very excited to be able to appear this time.

At the same time, Karnissowas, who is in Denver, had a somewhat complicated expression when he saw Lawson appearing.

When Lawson first arrived at the team last year, he was very optimistic about this strong and explosive American point guard.

But after a failed season, Karnishovas wanted to change when he was poor, and reluctantly sent Lawson out.

As time passed, Tay Lawson appeared before him again, and Karnishovas had a vague premonition.

The Rockets serve.

Lawson took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

The Rockets' former player Ismail Smith is against him.

While dribbling, Lawson signaled his teammates to come over to pick-and-roll.

Ismail Smith was very alert and quickly adjusted his pace, constantly staring at the Rockets who were stepping forward with his eyes.

After all, with his defensive ability, it will be difficult to return to the defensive position once it is delayed.

Lawson saw his teammates step forward and made a move to pass the pick-and-roll.

But the moment before bypassing the cover, he suddenly made a crossover and switched the ball to his right hand.

At this time, Smith's center of gravity had shifted, and he could only watch Lawson leave from the other side.

"Beautiful dribble! This is a fake pick-and-roll!"

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

After completing the pass, Lawson dribbled the ball near the serving line and made a quick stop and jump shot.

The basketball left his fingertips and rotated at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Swish~"

Hollow into the net!
