Early in the morning of the 4th, Sun Ce followed the team on a chartered flight to Houston.

If it was last season, the Fire Bears Battle would trigger a basketball craze in Asia every time, especially the Grizzlies played away from Houston, and the publicity in the United States was very fierce.

But this time, there wasn't even a live broadcast.

Yao Ming played so well in Dallas!

The Mavericks won 2 wins and 1 loss in the first three games. Putting aside Nowitzki's pain of slowly transforming towards the team-based scoring core, the Mavericks are in good momentum.

Yao Ming averaged less than 24 minutes per game in three games, averaging 19.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and his performance was terrifyingly strong! The first 22 points and the second 21 points were both won in 25 minutes of playing time.

, so efficient that it scares the opponent's center forward.

Nowitzki is not the type of teammates who have not adapted to the team's team playing style and he is the core, so he has to let his teammates sacrifice and cooperate with him. In the process of his own efforts to transform, he tries to make the team play better and temporarily reduce it.

The core tactical action is mainly based on cooperating with teammates.

Even if he is the core of the scoring, he only shoots 20 times in a game. Including free throws, he can shoot about 25 times at most. Nowitzki's tactical restraint point is a key point for the Mavericks.

Yao Ming became the biggest beneficiary, after all, he is the strongest player in the Mavericks except Nowitzki.

In other words, with Kidd's control, Carlisle coach leading the overall situation, Nowitzki's cooperation, and there is no need to worry about physical problems, and there is also Chandler's Yao Ming on the bench, truly showing the most dominant contemporary power

The ability that the center should have!

Although the efficiency will definitely not be as explosive as the start of the game, Nowitzki will gradually take the initiative after finding the feeling. Yao Ming's performance in the future is likely to decline, but Yao Ming's performance is terrible now.

If Yao Ming retired directly, the Rockets might still maintain the title of "Chinese home team", but domestic fans have seen Yao Ming, who is the real strongest form of playing at the real championship level. Let alone maintain the Chinese market, the Rockets will continue.

Public opinion criticized the Rockets for not using Yao Ming.

This is no longer the peak Yao Ming. Yao Ming averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds per game at the age of 26. If the team could use it well, it would make him easier for the regular season. O'Neal fell in those years, and Howard was still in the growth stage. As for the Rockets, the Rockets

With a better record, Yao Ming is not just the second team! You should know that Yao Ming only played 48 games in the second team season, which is enough to prove his dominance in the eyes of North American media.

However, Yao Ming really defeated the Americans and was selected into the Best Team since the second grade. Except for the year when he did not enter the playoffs and the rookie season, he entered the Best Team for the rest of the season.

Sun Ce watched the next six consecutive passenger schedule on the plane.

The three consecutive wins at the beginning were very sweet, and it was one game away from the first four consecutive wins in the team history in 2004-05.

But the next six consecutive guests will be too difficult!

The most difficult one... is the Texas two heroes!

No. 5 plays the Rockets, No. 7 plays the Mavericks!

Starting from fighting the Mavericks, there are 4 games in 5 days. After fighting the Mavericks, they play back to back against the Nuggets, then the 10th and 11th back to back against the Warriors and the Suns, and finally the 13th flew back to the East to play the Bulls.

9 days and 6 games, this has not been completed. From November 15 to November 30, the Grizzlies still have 8 games.

The Grizzlies' schedule is OK throughout the season, but the first month's schedule is indeed difficult and not so conducive to running-in.

But the schedule is arranged like this, and Sun Ce can only complain to his teammates.

However, the Rockets... Sun Ce looked at the scout report sent by the coaching staff during the plane this morning, and the Rockets were not easy to deal with!

On the 2nd, after the three-month signing period, the Rockets turned their core chips from Brooks that the Nuggets didn't want to become their important summer signing team Courtney Lee, plus a high pick

Protected in the first and second rounds, get veteran Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets trade.

The Nuggets took a bite from the Rockets, straightened the point guard combination of Lowry and Lawson, and got rid of Billups' big contract with more than 27 million yuan for the remaining two years.

The Rockets spent a lot of money, but when it comes to Billups, they have a core point guard who can combine two big killers that can shoot at low posts and shoot.

Because Billups has the experience of controlling Anthony and allowing Anthony to play his best career playoff performance, this Rockets trade received high evaluation from Billups in the scout report, and the media's evaluation of this deal was also

Very high, considered a win-win deal.

Sun Ce felt that this game had to continue to get on, and defense was fundamental.

Fortunately, this is not a Texas three-game player. One Spurs is missing, otherwise it will really be skinned!

...

Six consecutive guests have a hard time, but there is good news. After Sun Ce and his teammates arrived at the hotel together, they rested for an afternoon. In the evening, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, Jordan Jordan, Randolph, Guy, Bathir, and Gasol Jr.

The seven, or the band member + Yi Jianlian, came to the Toyota Center to watch the Rockets and the Celtics game.

That means that when they played against the Rockets the next day, the Rockets were back-to-back games, which was a good thing for the Grizzlies.

Originally, he called Tony Allen, but Tony Allen now hates Green and refuses their invitation and would rather play fishing games with Paul George in the hotel.

Fishing, Sun Ce can understand it, but the fishing game...

Everyone pays attention to different points when watching the game. For example, Yi Jianlian, he is listening to Battier talk about tactics, and he rarely responds. Basically, Battier is taking care of him and telling him, but in this way, those who have communication with their teammates watch the game together.

It's something he hasn't seen in the past three years.

Several other band members were discussing how to pull Yi Jianlian into the band while watching the competition. This task was very challenging, but the more challenging they were, the more they wanted to do so.

Sun Ce is analyzing the opponent's defense. The team's general direction is to polish the position and fight the defense. With their basic rotation of 10 people, and Paul George, the alternate defensive genius, is available, it would be a pity not to play defense.

So the key to breaking through the offensive barrier is that he can fight the defensive counterattack. Computer terminal::/

But after watching the Rockets' game, I found it was not easy!

The Rockets exchanged Al Jefferson for Kevin Martin... it's so cool!

According to the scout report, due to the previous major injury, his athletic ability declined and he could not play the power forward. In order to play the center this summer, Daai increased his weight to 130 kilograms. It can be seen in terms of body shape, and Randolph

He is about the same height, and his arms are thicker than Randolph!

Al Jefferson was not good at playing against power forwards, but he looked very good at playing against centers. He played against Perkins and played with it. The jump hook around the three-second zone was 180 degrees without blind spots.

You can invest in the direction.

When the Celtics used O'Neal to defend against Big Ai, Al Jefferson also had a step back jump shot that should not be weighted. He could pull the ball farther outside the free throw line and scored two points in one step

...

The only flaw of Al Jefferson playing center is that he cannot defend against the opponent's high and high shots on the defensive end, but the tonnage is also very good. He can basically not chisel when he is hard in. The opponent can only score in the shooting accuracy of close distance.

The Celtics have indeed declined quite seriously this season, which is related to their lack of preparation for the regular season. Last season, they only won 50 wins in the regular season, and they still scored 32 points in the league in the playoffs.

The Rockets defeated the Celtics 97-91, turning their record into 2 wins and 2 losses.

Al Jefferson's performance made Sun Ce worry about his center position, but the strongest opponent is Anthony, who has the absolute advantage in the match against Pierce!

With Al Jefferson restraining the defense in the interior, Anthony made a good shot from mid-range today, and was accurate, making 14 of 24 shots to win the game's highest 36 points.

Billups seems to have only 7 points and 5 assists, but this game is very different from the season opening match between the Rockets and Mavericks that Sun Ce watched on the night of October 30!

With Billups, the Rockets quickly got into the state!

The most important thing is the resilience of the Rockets, which makes Sun Ce feel very familiar.

From the bottom of his heart, Rockets players all want to win! No matter how crazy the team saves money when they have Yao Ming, how weird is the operation of spending money after Yao Ming leaves, but the players really want to win, which is what Sun Ce remembers

That temperament that would rather win the lottery championship for three consecutive years than make a bad playoffs.

Such an opponent...is a bit difficult to deal with!

...

...

The next morning, the Grizzlies came to the visiting team training ground at Toyota Center and held a tactical meeting.

The Grizzlies' attitude towards the game this year is very different from last season.

If it was last season, in this situation of 9 days and 6 games, a goal would be set, and 3 wins and 3 losses would be considered as a matter of the matter.

But this season is different, and the coaching staff’s idea is to strive for every game!

Coach Hollins is very inflated now, and he has someone under his command! There are not many superstars, only Randolph, who still needs to lose weight. : :

But he has the best lineup in the league! He will give you a five-for-five or even send a pure defensive lineup, just like doing magic tricks, and you will be beaten to death.

There is no doubt that the coaching staff's attitude of showing their strength and wanting to win every victory is more popular! Players should agree more with the attitude of avoiding the strong team and catching the weak team and abused the weak team.

!

As long as you don’t hold a thermos, you will want to prove yourself on the court.

What is now in front of the Grizzlies players is that they once again start to break various records in team history.

For example, what is in front of you... the team history has won a winning streak in the beginning!

Grizzlies players paid more or less attention to the Rockets game last night, after all, they are about to play against the Rockets.

In terms of the resilience shown by the Rockets and the performance of two top players, the Grizzlies attach great importance to it and are actively preparing for the game.

At 1:30 pm, just as the Grizzlies players were preparing to run aside after lunch break, Sun Ce's system prompted him.
Chapter completed!
