The Godfather of Basketball

237 A Blessing In Misfortune (2/5!)

After the ball was bubbled out, it came to Anthony's hands.

Anthony took the ball directly to the basket.

Jordan made up his defense again, and Anthony directly chose to turn around and fall back.

As soon as he leaned out, he felt a black shadow in front of him.

It's that little Jordan guy again!

"Shua!"

Anthony's back hit.

His personal ability is still strong.

But after landing, he broke out in a cold sweat.

The little Jordan on the opposite side is simply a spring man!

Scola continued to support the Rockets' offense at a high position.

Jordan's offensive and defensive strength made Nene afraid to go out at will. Scola seized the opportunity and assisted McGrady to hit a jumper directly from the high post.

The Nuggets advanced to the frontcourt, and Carter directly played a pick-and-roll with Nene this time.

Nene catches the ball and makes a shot at the basket.

Little Jordan made another leap.

I was slapped once before, and I felt a little guilty inside. The ball shook and went out of the basket.

After landing, Jordan took off for the second time and scored a defensive rebound.

The Rockets counterattacked, Sun Yue assisted Scola in the fast break, Scola received the ball and squeezed Kleiza for a layup.

At this time, there was also a long whistle from the sidelines.

The first quarter of the game is over.

The Rockets' bench was excited, and all the players jumped up from the bench, yelling at their teammates who were off the court.

Gasol's departure did not make the Rockets' bench lose their advantage. In these two minutes, the Rockets beat the Nuggets 6-2!

The Nuggets fans were quite speechless. It's really not fun to play so fiercely with a rookie!

Little Jordan's performance at the end of the first quarter was eye-catching, and after the second quarter opened, Tang Tian also kept him on the court.

The Nuggets made substitution adjustments. Nene and Anthony went off to rest, and "Birdman" Anderson and "Bearded" Baron Davis played.

Coming up to the Nuggets' offense, Davis organized the ball on the outside.

Unlike before when Anthony was on the court, Davis is a point guard, and the team's offensive focus has also begun to shift from the inside to the outside.

Calling Anderson a pick-and-roll, Davis showed his excellent physical fitness and went straight to the basket, hitting the rebound and scoring before Jordan blocked the shot.

Jordan slapped the backboard with a slap, covering the air.

There was a burst of cheers.

Jordan played brilliantly at the end of the first quarter, and even his momentum was overtaken by the Rockets, but he is still a rookie after all, and he is still not good enough for an old fritter like Baron Davis.

The Rockets attacked, and Scola continued to organize at a high position. At this time, it was Anderson who defended him, with long hands and long feet, constantly waving to interfere with his passing sight.

The Nuggets defended very badly at other points, and the Rockets didn't get a good offensive opportunity.

Scola glanced at the attack time and directly chose to turn around and play back.

Anderson is as good at jumping as Jordan, but his single-defense ability is still a little bit worse. Scola's aggressive footsteps made him neglect one thing and lose another.

Scola finally wobbled away from Anderson and scored with a lateral hit.

After becoming the offensive axis, he is as capable of attacking and passing as Gasol Jr., and his performance is even better than expected.

The Nuggets attacked, Davis repeated his old tricks, played a pick-and-roll with Anderson, and accelerated to the basket again after dismantling the ball.

But this time, just as he was about to make a shot, he saw Jordan flying to block the shot, his speed was obviously faster than before!

He was surprised, but the coordination ability of the defenders was far better than that of the insiders. With a big pull in the air, he directly switched the ball to his left hand for a layup.

But at this moment, there was another commotion in the scene.

Jordan, who failed to block the shot, took off quickly for the second time after landing, and even slapped Davis' shot with his left hand to block it!

"boom!"

The basketball was directly covered on the backboard!

A pegboard hat!

The Rockets' bench stood up like crazy, and Dragic and his towels also flew up.

This ball was actually covered!

Davis was stunned, Jordan's bullet speed is really amazing!

After Jordan blocked the shot, he received the defensive rebound, and the Rockets counterattacked again. After receiving the ball, Scola directly threw a long swing ball to the midfield.

Sun Yue had already crossed the half court at this time, and after receiving the ball, he quickly rushed to the frontcourt, directly scoring with a two-hand dunk.

A great block, a perfect pass, a beautiful dunk.

The Rockets' bench play is really no worse than before!

It was not a good thing for Gasol to leave the team, but after this game, the Rockets were a blessing in disguise!

Little Jordan was also yelling at this time, and even jumped up and bumped his chest with Sun Yue who came back, and the fight was passionate.

The game continued, Jordan's passion drove the Rockets' substitutes, and Scola excellently completed the previous role of Gasol's offensive axis, the Rockets' substitutes played like a broken bamboo.

The excellent performance of the substitute also inspired the fighting spirit of the main players.

When the main players returned, Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Billups, and even Yi Jianlian all played well.

The Rockets also regained their momentum little by little.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Nuggets 113 to 106 in the away game, achieved two consecutive victories, and also improved their record to 43 wins and 10 losses.

Yao Ming had 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Tracy McGrady had 30 points and 6 rebounds, Scola had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Compared with them, the most surprising thing is Jordan.

In the first game of his career, he played 20 minutes, made 2 of 2 shots, contributed 4 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks!

At the press conference after the game, Jordan was naturally the focus of the reporters.

The rookies of the Rockets in the past two years, whether it is Millsap, Gasol Jr., or Sun Yue, Barea, and Novak, all played very well. I thought the Rockets finally made a mistake, but I didn't expect it to be ruined as soon as it came out.

This is a nuclear weapon!

"DeAndre played very well. Is the team making the decision to trade Gasol based on this?"

"I can't answer this question. I am the head coach and I am only responsible for the team's games on the field."

"DeAndre's performance is so good, will the team increase his playing time later?"

"It depends on our opponents and it is my responsibility to get the best out of the players."

...

Tang Tian's answers at the press conference were relatively conservative.

Jordan played a good game. Because of the inertial thinking of the Rockets' past rookies, most people will think that this is another strong player like Gasol.

But Tang Tian knew how much young Jordan's immediate combat power was, and he still needed time to grow.

The game against the Nuggets has something to do with the opponent's playing style. Nene, "Birdman" Anderson, and even Petrol, who played later, are all players who play more straight up and down. If it is replaced by Aldridge With a technical insider, Jordan is still at a disadvantage.
