"Hey, brothers, you passed the ball to me for a while. My hands feel hot now, do you hear me?"
Hill shouted to all his teammates.
His commanding tone caused displeasure to appear on the faces of the Rockets generals.
If it weren't for the game going on now, with so many fans watching, they might have had a seizure.
In addition, before the game started, head coach Mark Jackson made it clear that Hill would be the core of the tactics...
The other four Rockets players suppressed their displeasure and continued to participate in the game.
The Rockets serve.
Jeremy Lin, who came on as a substitute, advanced with the ball and passed half court.
Jordan Hill took the initiative and set up a pick-and-roll for him.
Anderson, who was facing Hill, followed closely behind and stepped forward to defend.
During the transition, Jeremy Lin accelerated and broke through the defense.
Anderson moved quickly, counting his steps, ready to block the shot at any time.
But Shu Hao’s overall view is very good.
He suddenly took a step back to open up space, and then with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball to Hill who bounced outside.
Standing in front of Hill at this time was Ty Lawson, the Nuggets' backup point guard.
There was a huge height disparity between the two, so Lawson could only use his small steel cannon-like figure to firmly hold up Hill's lower body and not give him a chance to hit him from behind.
But Hill was buffed at this time and was in a hot state, so he didn't even think about going to the basket.
I saw him plucking green onions on dry land, and completed the mid-range shot directly over Lawson's head.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
"pretty!"
CCTV host Su Qun couldn't help but sigh.
Generally speaking, when inside players are playing big or small, they will use their bodies to crush in and only take action after hitting the basket.
But Hill was brave enough to choose a jump shot directly from the outside.
This is definitely a choice you can only make if you are very confident in your shooting.
In the VIP box, Nuggets manager Karnisovas's eyes sparkled even more.
After most of the game, Scola, who was originally the focus of observation, performed mediocrely, but the sophomore showed a good level.
Moreover, Jordan Hill's style of play is exactly what the Nuggets currently lack inside.
"This kid is pretty good. Your Rockets have really turned their fortunes around. Each of these kids is more talented than the last."
Karnisovas turned to Shen Fei and sighed.
Shen Fei smiled noncommittally.
At the same time, several fans outside the box began to discuss heatedly.
"I think Jordan Hill should replace Scola and become our main power forward in the new season!"
"Hey, you may have forgotten how explosive Griffin's performance was in the first two games. His talent is better than Hill's!"
"No matter how good your talent is, you have to play first to be useful!"
"In my opinion, Griffin's violent style of play, where he wants to dunk every ball over others, is too easy to get injured. No matter how gorgeous a dunk is, it's only two points. Look at Hill, he jumps lightly and it's two points.
You’ve got it, isn’t it much easier than Griffin?”
............
In the box, Shen Fei and Karnisovas had completely different views on this conversation.
Young Asians scoff at this view.
In his opinion, in addition to Nowitzki, Durant, a super giant with both production and quality, can "kill people" with mid-range shots. Most of the time, a wonderful dunk will have the effect of
Definitely much better than a simple mid-range shot!
A dunk will not only make teammates excited, but also demoralize the opponent.
As time goes on, the situation of the game may change.
Karnisovas agreed very much with the fans' remarks.
The Nuggets have too much talent.
For example, Kenyon Martin, who was the No. 1 pick in the draft, had a physical fitness comparable to Griffin.
But what's the use?
Martin doesn't play a big role on the offensive end. Most of the time, he can only rely on assists from his teammates or grab offensive rebounds for secondary offenses.
At the end of a game, it's a turbulent time, and when you look at the statistics, you often don't even get ten points.
On the other hand, look at insiders with technical skills like Hill.
Their presence in the game may not be as high as Griffin's, but their output is very stable and they can often score high points when they feel good.
Not to mention, Hill's physical talent is not bad at all. Although it is not to the level of "animals", it can definitely be regarded as extremely talented.
"If Scola was replaced by Jordan Hill, would you still be willing to trade?"
Karnisovas asked seriously.
"What? You want Hill?"
Shen Fei pretended to be shocked.
His expressions, demeanor, and even body language were all performed so vividly that he looked like an old actor.
Karnisovas nodded.
While the two were talking, Jordan Hill slapped away Lawson's layup on the defensive end.
After blocking the shot, he looked up to the sky and roared like a god of war.
"em...it's not impossible."
The Asian young man seemed very hesitant, as if he had made a difficult decision.
"But...you have to pay more!"
Shen Fei looked up at Karnisovas and said.
If the other party observes carefully, he can see that the corners of the Asian young man's mouth are slightly raised.
"Add money?"
Karnisovas was stunned when he heard this.
"What else do you want?"
he continued to ask.
"You have also seen that Jordan Hill's talent is very good. After adapting in the first season, he obviously started to 'increase' his goals."
"It stands to reason that we are in the rebuilding stage and should not trade out players with such potential."
"But our boss, Alexander, insists on wanting Anderson..."
"Well, if you insist on Jordan Hill, your team has to produce another good young player."
Shen Fei said solemnly.
"Good young player..."
Karnišovas went through the players in his head.
But because the Nuggets have been a strong team in the Western Conference for the past two years, their draft picks are basically at the end of the first round, and there are not many young talents in the team.
The only candidate who meets the requirements...I'm afraid the only one is Ty Lawson.
But in his debut season, Lawson averaged 8.3 points and 3.1 assists per game, and Karnisovas was very optimistic about him.
Jordan Hill played well in the recent preseason, but Lawson was traded for him...
Karnisovas hesitated again.
"Please think about it and don't rush to give an answer."
Shen Fei said lightly.
He knows well that he cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.
If you start persuading him at this moment, it can easily backfire and make Karnisovas feel that you are being chased.
[It’s almost time to make the next step.]
Shen Fei thought to himself.
At this moment, there was a dead ball on the court, and Rockets coach Mark Jackson made a wave of his hand and replaced substitute guard Ishmael Smith.
