The Godfather of Basketball

Yi Jianlian also looked very excited after the dunk. After landing, he beat his chest hard twice, and even directly bumped into the chest with the team leader Reid who ran over.

At this time, Tang Tian walked directly to the end of the bench and called Landry directly.

Scola has committed two crimes, and Yi Jianlian is in a hot state at this time. If Novak is added, it will be purely a bonus.

The decision of the coaching staff is the coaching staff's. As the head coach, he knows how to adapt.

When Landry heard Tang Tian calling him, he jumped up from his seat and took off his training clothes in a second. It could be seen that he was always ready.

"Easy tonight's state is surprisingly good, Scola now has two fouls, Millsap's absence makes the Rockets somewhat stretched in the power forward." On the commentary, Miller opened his mouth to analyze.

"Don replaced this year's rookie Carl Landry at this time. This is his first appearance in the regular season this season. I don't know if he can withstand it." Brin said after seeing the Rockets' sideline substitution. .

"It's a bit difficult. The official height of this rookie named Landry is only 2.01 meters. He is at least a head behind Yi." Miller said and shook his head.

"It looks like tonight's game will be more difficult than expected." Brin nodded in agreement.

Yi Jianlian was about to go to the free throw line, and a short whistle came from the sidelines. Landry replaced Scola, who had committed two fouls.

"Don, will there be any problem with Karl?" Thibodeau turned to look at Tang Tian at this time and said.

"No." Tang Tian replied lightly. He knew Thibodeau's doubts. After all, his decision just now was different from that of the coaching staff, but he knew that Landry had been training extra, and he deserved such an opportunity.

Thibodeau heard the affirmation in Tang Tian's tone, so he didn't ask any more questions, but turned his attention to the field.

After Yi Jianlian made an extra free throw, the Bucks overtook the score 9-8.

After Yi Jianlian opened the game, he made all 3 shots and scored 7 points in a row. He is in a hot state.

The Rockets' offense, Billups advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

The Bucks also defended the same defensive formation.

Landry received the ball in the middle distance, and he chose to shoot directly.

"boom!"

The shot was a bit long, but after hitting the back edge of the basket, it bounced and went in.

The Rockets continued to gain points.

In the Bucks' offense, Williams saw that the Rockets no longer used Yao Ming to defend against Yi Jianlian, and then signaled the other players to open up space, and continued to hand the ball low to Yi Jianlian for singles.

Yi Jianlian directly chose to turn to the bottom corner after hitting twice.

Landry got stuck in the position ahead of time. Although his ability was not as good as Scola's, his body and confrontation ability were much stronger than Scola's.

Yi Jianlian has excellent physical fitness, but his ability to fight is weak, and he stopped when he turned around.

Landry made a steal, Yi Jianlian passed the ball in a hurry, and was cut off by Billups.

The Rockets played a fast break. McGrady received a long pass from Billups in the frontcourt, rushed to the frontcourt quickly, jumped up and dunked with one hand.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the Toyota Center was instantly ignited.

Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Yi Jianlian's physical fitness is considered above-average even in the NBA, and his touch as a rookie is also considered soft. The explosion after the opening is a proof, but in comparison, his golf quotient is a little worse. Just now, the ball was replaced by Dirk Nowitzki. If he meets someone who is so much shorter than himself, he must turn around and lean back. Even if Landry wants to defend, his height and wingspan cannot interfere.

Yi Jianlian failed in a single, and the Bucks immediately changed their offensive tactics.

That's how rookies are treated.

Reid and Bogut play the pick-and-roll.

Bogut is tall and burly, completely blocking McGrady's whole body.

As the top card of the Bucks, Reid, in addition to an excellent three-pointer, his breakthrough ability has always been underestimated.

At this time, after going in through the pick-and-roll, he stepped up his horse and quickly passed Yao Ming, who was switching defenses, and jumped to the basket for a small throw in a low position.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, a hand quickly came out from the sideways, and slapped the ball down before he could make a shot.

Landry!

Because of his short wingspan, Landry doesn't have much ability to block shots, but for this ball, he took the ball actively!

The racket flew to the weak side, hit Mason's back and bounced to the ground.

After Landry saw it, he took a leap, rushed to grab the ball, and hugged the ball tightly for the first time after grabbing it.

Mason turned around and wanted to grab the ball. Landry had sharp eyes and quick hands. When he saw McGrady running over, he threw the ball over with a flick of his hand.

McGrady took the ball to protect, and the Rockets successfully played another successful defense!

Cheers and whistles rang out incessantly.

This rookie named Landry is so attractive!

Tang Tian couldn't help stretching out his hands to applaud at this time.

Small roles go a long way, and Landry does very well in his first appearance.

The Rockets' offense, McGrady threw Reed from the outside and broke through to the penalty area, Yao Ming flicked a pass.

McGrady's iconic pull-up jumper.

Reed behind him chased the ball well and jumped from behind to successfully interfere with McGrady's shot.

"boom!"

McGrady's shot went wide, and Bogut was closer to the basket because he was defending top. After getting stuck on Yao Ming, he turned around and wanted to grab the rebound.

But at this moment, a figure shot out from the side like lightning, jumped up like a monkey jumping up, and directly pocketed the rebound.

Or Landry!

After he grabbed the rebound, he hit the rebound and shot it quickly.

Go in!

"Unbelievable, every rookie of the Rockets will always surprise people. To be honest, this rookie named Landry reminds me of Paul Millsap of the Rockets last year. The same short insider and the same blockbuster. "Brin was not hesitant to praise.

"Yes, it's really incredible." Miller also nodded.

"Don, your judgment makes people speechless every time." Thibodeau turned his head and said with a smile at this time. Facts have proved that his worries were unnecessary.

Tang Tian smiled and said nothing.

There is still a gap between Landry and Millsap. The most obvious difference is the wingspan, which is the so-called talent. A short insider has a short wingspan. It is destined that he cannot have a very good career, but at least for now , He made up for this with active running and fighting, and won himself playing time.

The competition in the NBA is fierce. More than a dozen or even hundreds of thousands of professional athletes around the world have sharpened their heads and drilled into the biggest platform of the NBA. Not everyone has the opportunity to enter this league.

And even if they entered, the chances of playing were pitiful.

Tang Tian gave Landry a chance, and Landry seized it, and the opportunity became an opportunity.
