After catching the ball, Griffin did not dunk the ball directly toward the basket, but made a big windmill action.
"bang!"
Who would have thought that the Rockets' first two offenses both ended in dunks, and each dunk was more exciting than the last!
"Roar!!!"
After the goal, Griffin roared excitedly toward the stands.
He has been waiting for this moment for too long!
In last year's draft, he was the number one pick, the chosen one, and the future face of the NBA in people's eyes!
But times changed, and a year later, Griffin found that he had become the object of suspicion.
People doubt that he will become a parallel import No. 1 pick like Oden due to injuries; they doubt that he will not be able to complete a full season...
But now, Griffin announced with an eye-catching dunk that he is back!
"Director Yang, this ball should definitely be selected as one of today's top five goals, right?"
Yu Jia asked with a smile.
"It's necessary! I have to say that Griffin's physical fitness is better than I thought."
"If he can stay healthy, he will definitely become the new darling of Houston, no, he should be the darling of the United States!"
"Just because of this dunk, I am willing to buy a ticket to watch his game!"
Yang Yi said very excitedly, as if there was someone else questioning Griffin before the game started.
............
At this time, the director suddenly cut the camera to the stands.
The next moment, a young Asian figure appeared on the big screen above Staples.
This man, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, was wearing a well-tailored casual suit and was watching the game very calmly.
There is no exaggerated decoration on his body, but it gives people an extraordinary feeling.
Next to the Asian youth, sat the little giant from the East - Yao Ming.
Dayao smiled brightly, his facial features almost squeezing together, and he was obviously very satisfied with the performance of his teammates.
"Wow, Shen Fei also went to the Staples Center to watch football today."
"Yao Ming's mental state is also good. At first glance, he seems to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that he has taken the initiative to lose weight. I guess he is not far away from his comeback!"
Yu Jia said excitedly.
"This young man Shen Fei can do it. The people he recruited performed so well, but he still looks unfazed by favors and humiliations. He has the character to do big things!"
Yang Yi praised.
"When you say that, it's true! Dayao is smiling so happily next to him, but Shen Fei still looks calm. This may be because he is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a rabbit."
"I read a statistic yesterday. In the three months since Shen Fei took over as general manager of the Rockets, he has signed 11 people, traded or laid off 6 people."
"With such a vigorous and resolute handling style, and such a calm side, this young man Shen Fei is anything but simple!"
Yu Jia's tone was full of appreciation.
............
The game continued, and the morale of the Rockets players rose sharply after Griffin completed a windmill dunk.
Teams with mostly young people always gain momentum and are difficult to suppress.
The five Rockets showed great enthusiasm on the defensive end. In addition, the defending champion obviously underestimated the enemy...
In the next 4 minutes, the Lakers fell into a scoring drought and were beaten by the Rockets with a 10:0 spurt!
Seeing that his teammates were not doing their best, Kobe had no choice but to step forward and make a hard save.
In the transition between offense and defense, he faced Paul George.
The young Paojiao finally had his first confrontation with his idol!
He lowered his center of gravity, stared closely at Nao Zai, and concentrated on defense.
But the next moment, Kobe actually pulled up and took a shot two steps beyond the three-point line.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
"Wow~ Well done, Kobe!"
"mvp!!!"
The fans at the scene immediately gave warm cheers to the star.
"Tough, Kobe's shot is too tough!" In the CCTV commentary box, Yu Jia also commented at the right time: "When the team is in a low period, using this kind of unreasonable three-pointer to stop the bleeding is a typical Kobe style.
Goal!"
His eyes returned to the field.
George was also very upset when his opponent made a three-pointer so simply.
He quickly raised his right hand to indicate that the ball was his problem.
McGrady smiled slightly and made a downward movement with his hands, shouting to George: "Calmdownman!"
Immediately, t-mac came to the frontcourt and took the initiative to ask for the ball.
After receiving a pass from Lowry, he was facing Kobe's defense again.
Interestingly, McGrady's position is the mirror image of Kobe's shooting spot in the last round.
T-mac assumed a triple threat posture and stepped out with his right foot twice.
Worried about Tracy McGrady's terrifying first step, Kobe did not dare to get too close, but left a half-step distance in order to move laterally to cover the position in time.
But the next moment, Tracy McGrady pulled onions directly from the ground and jumped vertically.
His upper body was straightened and his waist was slightly straightened.
But even with such a somewhat disconnected movement of the upper and lower body, McGrady still jumped very high.
"There it is! Tracy McGrady's pull-up jumper!"
Yang Yi exclaimed.
Since McGrady was troubled by a knee injury, this iconic move has not been seen used by him for a long time.
"Being able to perform this action means that McGrady's body should have returned to a very good state!"
Yu Jia added.
Kobe didn't expect McGrady to make such a move on the court.
When he reacted, the opponent had already jumped to the highest point.
With an ecstatic scissor kick, McGrady completed the shot.
Compared to Kobe's long three-pointer just now, T-Mac's shooting arc is very flat, and the basketball seems to fly straight to the basket.
From the shooting action to the arc the basketball draws in the air, McGrady's pull-up is obviously not a standard action, but it has an indescribable morbid beauty.
"Shua~"
The basketball hit the net.
answerball!
This three-pointer was like a silencer, causing the newly excited Lakers fans to instantly become silent.
You know, this shot was completed on the head of the Lakers' star player - Kobe Bryant! And it happened at the point where the Lakers were just about to counterattack!
Seeing this scene, Shen Fei in the stands finally showed a happy smile.
"What do you think, Dayao?"
Shen Fei suddenly asked.
"Ah? Manager, are you asking me what I think of the current team?"
“To be honest, it far exceeded my expectations!”
Yao Ming responded with a smile.
During this period, he has been training alone according to Shen Fei's arrangements.
He spent most of his time in the gym and lost weight.
Therefore, Yao Ming's impression of the team basically remains the same as it was three months ago.
He has watched some summer league and preseason games, but for a veteran who has played in the NBA for many years, only the regular season and playoffs are the stages where players are truly tested.
When I saw it today, these newcomers of the Rockets were able to fight back and forth with the defending champion, and even had a slight advantage...
This was beyond Dayao’s expectation!
"As I said, we have only one goal this year, and that is to win the championship!"
