CCTV will naturally not miss such an interesting game.
"Hello, dear viewers! Welcome to the broadcast of the NBA basketball games brought to you by cctv-5."
"I am Yu Jia."
"I'm Su Qun."
In the live broadcast room, two commentators skillfully opened the show.
“What we bring to you today is the game between the Houston Rockets and the Denver Nuggets!”
"Coach Su, can you give us a brief analysis of this game?"
Yu Jia asked.
"OK."
"Let's talk about the Nuggets first. As a strong team in the Western Conference, they have a strong team this year and are obviously aiming for the championship."
"The Rockets are a young team with a home-alone mentality. Among the team's starters, in addition to McGrady, Lowry is 24 years old, Tucker is 25 years old, George is 20 years old, and Griffin is 21 years old."
"I believe everyone has seen their talent in the first two games. I believe that the Rockets will have a bright future! But in today's game, I am still more optimistic about the Nuggets."
Su Qun talked eloquently.
"I just got the starting lineups for both teams."
"The Rockets still maintained the small lineup they used in the first two games. The Nuggets made a change. They elevated Jordan Hill to the starting power forward position."
"Hey, this is very interesting."
Yu Jia said with a smile.
"Yes. The return of old players is another highlight of this game."
"I personally like Jordan Hill. Although he doesn't have the physical fitness of Griffin, his silky mid-range shot makes me see the shadow of Nowitzki."
"Hill should be facing off directly with Griffin today. Let's wait and see, which one is more important, body or technique!"
Su Qun added.
Yu Jia frowned when he heard this.
Su Qun's words seemed to be saying that Griffin was a rough guy with huge talents.
But Yu Jia has done previous research and found that Griffin is not a player who relies solely on his body to play ball.
His ball sense and movement coordination are among the best among inside players.
In the first two games, Griffin has averaged 18 points per game.
Let me ask, which "rough guy" can do this in the first season?
Moreover, anyone who has watched the game knows that dunking is only part of his game.
Griffin has demonstrated various face-up and post-up singles skills.
This is something that many insiders who have been around the NBA for a long time have not yet learned!
"Coach Su, I have a different opinion. However, I want to wait until the game starts and let Griffin prove it for himself."
After all, Su Qun was a guest commentator invited by CCTV, so Yu Jia still gave him face.
"Okay, now the game is about to start, and then pass the camera to the front!"
Yu Jia waved his hand and the screen cut to the Toyota Center Arena.
............
As the referee throws the ball high, the game officially begins!
Jumping with Griffin was Nuggets center Nene Hilario, nicknamed the Brazilian Elephant.
Nene is not a traditional center either.
Compared with Griffin, his height advantage is not obvious.
For the first time in a long time, Griffin jumped high and won the ball.
The Rockets take the lead in attacking!
Lowry advanced with the ball and organized the attack at the top of the arc.
Soon he discovered Griffin who was frantically trying to get a position inside.
This was rarely seen in previous games.
Although Griffin has shown great talent, the Rockets are full of talents. As a first-year rookie, he rarely serves as the team's first offensive option.
But today is different.
Griffin was determined to let Jordan Hill, who was guarding him behind him, know that there were some people he couldn't mess with!
In fact, Griffin has been grateful to the Asian youth since Shen Fei traded him from the Clippers.
This gratitude comes from Shen Fei's recognition of him.
When people doubted that he was healthy enough to compete in the NBA, it was Shen Fei who threw him an olive branch.
Later, Griffin officially joined the Rockets, and Asian young people gave him a lot of care and comfort.
Griffin didn't know how to repay Shen Fei.
After learning that the goal of the Asian youth was to win the championship this season, he devoted himself to training.
The purpose is to improve your abilities faster to help the Rockets win the championship!
But at the same time, reason tells Griffin that it will be extremely difficult for the Rockets to win the championship this year.
[What else can I do to repay him?]
Griffin often asks himself in his heart.
Just then, Jordan Hill jumped out.
When Griffin saw this information yesterday, he was both angry and a little excited.
Because he knew that his chance to repay Shen Fei had come!
In this game, Griffin had only one idea - to completely beat Jordan Hill!
Therefore, from the first round, he frantically demanded position in the low post.
After receiving Lowry's pass, Griffin adjusted his pace and chose to attack facing the frame.
I saw him suddenly stepping out with his right foot, making a breakthrough to the right.
This step was so large and fast that Jordan Hill, who was guarding him, was shocked!
Hill quickly moved sideways to the left.
But the next moment, Griffin suddenly turned around and wiped it away.
This turn was so neat that Hill, who had been passed by, gave up his defense.
Shen Fei watched this scene in the VIP box and couldn't help but sigh: "This ball feels a bit like Anthony's 'drum washing machine' turning around."
After completing the pass, Griffin soared into the sky...
"bang!"
A powerful and heavy one-armed tomahawk chop was successful!
2:0, the Rockets took the lead!
After scoring the goal, Griffin looked fiercely at Jordan Hill.
Hill was stunned by his scorching gaze.
He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Griffin, and turned to attack.
But in his heart, Hill was still unconvinced.
In transition between offense and defense, Billups passed half court with the ball.
Jordan Hill took the initiative to cover him.
After completing the pick-and-roll, Hill immediately bounced away and came to the free throw line.
For example, Puss looked six ways, made a behind-the-back pass, and handed the ball to Hill.
Jordan Hill didn't hesitate and took action immediately after catching the ball.
But the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The person coming is none other than Griffin!
"Snapped!"
A head-on block shot directly knocked Hill's shot away!
"Today, don't even think about scoring!"
Griffin looked at Hill and said confidently.
At the same time, his dunk has set the Toyota Center Arena on fire!
In the next round, Griffin once again got a chance to perform.
McGrady broke through the defense of Nuggets SG-Aflalo and reached the penalty area.
After attracting many defensive players, T-Mac flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Griffin on the side.
After giving Lifen the ball, the Nuggets players quickly retreated to the basket to prevent him from attacking the inside.
Unexpectedly, Griffin chose to shoot without hesitation after receiving the ball...
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
Seeing this, in the CCTV commentary room, Yu Jia smiled and said: "Director Su, a rough guy can't do this kind of mid-range shot, right?"
