In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the two teams fought an evenly matched offensive battle.
Shu Hao and Roy joined forces to fight against Ross, but the situation was not at a disadvantage.
Under the leadership of the two, the Rockets have always maintained their lead.
But the situation on the field is always changing rapidly.
In the last 50 seconds of the first quarter, Korver, who came on the bench again, hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the Bulls quickly narrow the point difference.
After the first quarter, the two sides battled to a score of 28:22, with the Rockets leading by 6 points.
In the box, Shen Fei calmly watched everything on the field.
During his busy month, the Rockets' tactical execution capabilities have improved somewhat.
And the skills of young people like Griffin and George have also grown.
In Shen Fei's view, in today's strong dialogue, the Rockets are obviously the better team.
Although they only led by 6 points after the first quarter, the Yao-Mai team rested for less than half a quarter.
On the other hand, for the Bulls, Rose played the entire first quarter, and Noah and Luol Deng only took a rest in the last two minutes.
The consumption of the main players of both sides cannot be compared at all.
Of course, Shen Fei did not think that the Rockets would definitely win the game.
After all, basketball is round.
Before the game was over, my previous thoughts were just predictions.
Throughout the ages, there have been too many games in this league in which the weak defeated the strong.
Not to mention, today's Bulls are one of the toughest teams in the NBA.
A healthy Rose also has the ability to change the game on his own.
What Shen Fei has to do now is to calm down and watch the game calmly.
There is another thing worth mentioning.
At the beginning of the game, the Asian young man, Lyles, the trainer hired by the Warriors at a high salary, sent him a text message.
In the text message, Lyles greatly praised Shen Fei’s training skills. He said bluntly:
"I have never trained with Curry alone before, but I just know that he has a unique talent."
"But after today's joint practice, I understand why you went to such trouble to recruit him from the Warriors."
"Stephen is so special! I believe that as long as he successfully changes the way of exerting force from the ankle to the hip, a 'weapon' that will scare the entire league will be born!"
"I think...the Rockets' dynasty is really not far away!"
After Shen Fei read this long paragraph, he felt naturally happy.
It's obvious that Lyles understands football.
After learning about Curry's talent, he gave such a high evaluation in a firm tone.
You know, in today's league, there is the Heat with the Big Three of "James Wade-Bosh"!
Many fans and professionals believe that the Heat's dynasty is inevitable and that the talents of the Big Three are unparalleled.
With such an opponent, Lyles dared to say that the Rockets dynasty is in the near future, which shows how terrifying Curry's performance today was!
It is precisely because of Curry that Shen Fei feels so relaxed today.
After all, the current rocket is far from its strongest form.
It won't be long before Curry can return.
At that time, the Rockets will be able to field a lineup of Curry, McGrady, George, Griffin, and Yao Ming.
Shen Fei couldn't imagine any team that could compete with it.
The only shortcoming of this lineup that he can think of is that the three newcomers (Curry, George, and Griffin) are still "developing".
Otherwise, in the best-of-seven playoffs, the Rockets will be almost invincible!
............
During the break, Jeremy Lin received a warm welcome from his teammates on the bench.
Lori high-fived him with a smile on her face.
Shane stretched out his big hand and ruthlessly ruffled Shuhao's hair.
Scola patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, Jeremy! Nowadays, no MVP-level players are timid!"
Young Brother Hao is still very shy.
Facing his enthusiastic teammates, he just smiled and said nothing, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.
As one of the core members of the team, Yao Ming also stood up from his seat and waited for Shu Hao's return.
Previously, Shen Fei had an argument with Dayao and told the latter that Shuhao might be naturalized into the Chinese Men's Basketball Team.
Since then, Yao Ming has paid more attention to this little brother who is also of yellow race.
Whether it is daily training or pre-game combat meetings, he always takes Shuhao with him and tries his best to provide help.
And now, this little guy can actually compete with Ross for a while!
This made Dayao extremely happy.
He took the initiative to extend his right hand as a high-five.
Shuhao smiled and raised his right hand, and was about to slap him, but Yao Ming suddenly raised his right hand.
Dayao is a very humorous person and often jokes with his teammates. Shuhao naturally knows this too.
He smiled and patted Dayao's chest.
Yao Ming put his hand down and touched Shu Hao's head.
This scene was also filmed by the on-site director and displayed on the big screen above the arena.
This loving interaction also aroused cheers from the fans at the scene.
“The Rockets’ team atmosphere is so good!”
Yang Yi sighed.
"I really hope Shuhao can really join the men's basketball team in the future, and then we can see their interaction in the Olympics."
Yu Jia said with a smile.
Since the last interview with Shen Fei was broadcast, Chinese fans have been looking forward to the moment when Shu Hao is naturalized successfully.
Now, seeing Brother Hao's wonderful performance, fans are naturally more eager to join him!
............
In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets sent all their main players, including Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, back to the court.
Rose stayed off the court to rest.
The first quarter of the game was very taxing on him.
Because both Lowry, who started the game, and Shu Hao, who came off the bench, put a lot of pressure on Rose on both offense and defense.
Especially the appearance of Shu Hao was really beyond Rose's expectation.
After 12 minutes of playing, Rose was already sweating profusely!
At this moment, he looked at the court with a serious face.
Everyone knows that Rose is the absolute core of the Bulls.
Without him, the strength of this top team in the Eastern Conference would immediately drop by a notch.
This is why Shen Fei is so confident - the Rockets will have a huge advantage as long as they wait for Rose to rest!
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets hit a climax.
The first to bear the brunt is Tracy McGrady.
As soon as he came up, he used his super quick first step to pass the opposing defender twice in a row and hit the Bulls inside.
Once a foul was caused, and once the ball was directly scored.
McGrady scored 4 points in a row as soon as he came up.
Then, Yao Ming also started to exert his strength.
He caught the ball in the low post, took advantage of his tonnage advantage, roughly pushed Noah away, and dunked the ball into the basket with a "overlord lift".
The strong performance of the Yao-Mai combination forced the Bulls to change their defensive strategy and start double-teaming the two.
In this way, the Rockets' shooter group will have a place to use.
First, Tucker hit a three-pointer from the left corner.
Then, Lowry faked a shot at a 45° angle and hit his opponent, then stopped mid-range with one step...
Hit again!
In less than 3 minutes, the Rockets hit an 11:2 shock wave, once again widening the point difference!
............
On the Bulls bench, Rose stood up and walked to head coach Thibodeau and whispered: "Coach, I'm recovered."
Rose's voice was low, but full of determination.
Thibodeau glanced at his beloved disciple and nodded slowly.
