Chapter 125 Against the Wizards
At the beginning of the game, the Wizards did not put Yi Jianlian in the starting lineup, so the Wizards started with PG Wall, SG Nick Young, SF Josh Howard, PF Lewis, and C McGee.

As for the Rockets, there is no change from before. Hassan is still paired with Yao Ming's twin-tower lineup, and then Harden Xia Tian and Battier are added. The whole lineup is simply flattering.

At the start of the game, Yao Ming and McGee jumped the ball in midcourt. Although Yao Ming was the tallest in the NBA, he couldn't get the basketball in the face of a bouncing monster, McGee.

The ball was transferred to Nick Young, and it was passed to the team's brain Wall with almost no hesitation. Wall quickly advanced with the ball and wanted to make a fast break before the Rockets returned to defense in time.

Almost in an instant, Wall's starting speed surpassed Yao Ming, and then he dribbled the ball with his right hand to his left hand to accelerate and swayed Harden. In this way, the only defensive player Wall faced was Hassan.

This is still thanks to Hassan's fast movement speed, otherwise Wall would have faced an empty inside line, but only facing Hassan Wall would have no pressure at all.

You must know that Wall is the number one pick this year. In terms of singles breakthrough, no one can compare with him except Xia Tian. As for people like George who can compare with him, they haven't hit it yet.

Will he layup or shoot?Seeing Wall's actions, Hassan couldn't help but feel puzzled. After all, Hassan is still some distance away from Wall when he retreats to the basket.

If Wall chooses to make an emergency stop and jump shot, it will be an excellent wide open, but while Hassan is still thinking, Wall has already come in front of him.

For a 360-degree spin layup in the air, Wall threw the basketball into the basket with almost no pressure. Because Hassan was stuck in his body, Hassan did not play a due role in interfering with the layup.

"Swish"

2:0
The Wizards scored the first point of the opening under Wall's fast break.

"As expected of Wall, this 360-degree turn layup has become his regular weapon. You must know that he has scored a lot of points with this offense this season." Smith praised in the broadcast room.

"Tch, isn't it just a layup, you know there are a lot of 360-degree fancy dunks this summer." Barkley said angrily from the side.

And after Wall made the goal, he also cast aside Xia Tian, ​​as if to say: I am the No. [-] pick, you are just a lottery pick.

Naturally, Xia Tian couldn't stand such a provocation. When he came to the frontcourt, Xia Tian asked Harden for the ball, and then he was ready to start singles, and his teammates looked at Xia Tian's actions and opened up space for him in a tacit understanding.

"Howard, although your name is also Howard, you are far behind that one." Xia Tian didn't rush to attack with the ball, but used the trash talk offensive first.

But this kind of trash talk is useless to an old bird like Josh Howard. At this moment, Howard has given full play to the endurance of an old bird.

Seeing that Howard didn't respond, Xia Tian also lost interest in continuing to speak, so he took a tentative step and prepared to make a breakthrough.

Facing Xia Tian's crappy tentative move, Howard's heart didn't fluctuate, and he even wanted to laugh a little. This rookie wouldn't want to use this kind of tentative step to break through me, would he?
I really don't understand how talented those people who can't guard against Xia Tian are. As long as this kind of tentative step is an individual, they will not be fooled. Anyway, this foot is not going to be withdrawn in the end, Howard thought proudly looking at Xia Tian.

But the fact is always not playing cards according to common sense, Xia Tian watched Howard do nothing, insisted on passing Howard by relying on this lame tentative step and relying on his own starting speed.

After passing Howard, facing the empty basket, Xia Tian charged without hesitation. At this time, McGee also ran back to the basket to prepare for defense.

But although McGee's speed is fast, how can it compare to last summer? Basically, he took off in summer just after passing the free throw line, and at this time McGee had just returned to the basket.

Looking at Xia Tian flying over, although McGee was surprised by Xia Tian's speed and bounce, he still took off. His inner instinct told him that the ball could be blocked!

But I didn't know that this was just an illusion. Xia Tian looked at McGee, whose jump height was not as high as his, and almost subconsciously reacted with his right hand to hold McGee's shoulder, and then dunked the ball hard into McGee's head. basket.

2:2
After Xia Tian dunked, he also looked at Wall, that slightly provocative look seemed to tell him that I returned the ball to you just now.

Seeing this picture, Wall can only shake his head helplessly. Although he knows that Xia Tian's ability is very strong, he really didn't expect it to be so strong. It seems that Xia Tian's growth is also very fast.

"Oh oh oh! Did you see that! This is Xia! A man with unlimited potential! This McGee didn't know how to dodge seeing Xia, didn't he know that Howard was buckled by him! Hahaha!" Barkley couldn't help laughing after a good performance.

This is indeed a player he is optimistic about.

But Smith is very uncomfortable. Of course, this does not mean that he does not like summer, but compared to liking summer, Smith still likes to argue with Barkley. After all, this is fun.

But Xia Tian's dunking performance made him unable to find any reason to challenge Barkley, so he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"give me five"

During the defense process, Xia Tian and Harden clapped each other's hands to celebrate, and did not speak during the process, but all the words were revealed in their eyes.

Harden: Xia, your ball is so handsome!

Xia Tian: So-so, just the most handsome guy in the world.

Harden: .
The content is probably like this.

It was the Wizards' turn to attack, because the Rockets' defense was already in position, and now Wall was not in a hurry to break fast, and slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, playing a pick-and-roll with his teammates.

Nick Young ran over to make a pick-and-roll for Wall, then took the ball hand-to-hand and landed on the top of the arc, and then Lowry took Battier to a 45-degree angle.

Facing Nick Young holding the ball, the teammates also quickly opened up space after Wall settled down. It seems that they are going to let Nick Young play singles, but think about it.

Because of Nick Young's three-pointers in later generations, Nick Young's pretentious (funny) force, and low efficiency, many people have also forgotten Nick Young's singles ability. This is a player that Kobe can't stop when his hands are hot.

Although Nick Young said this, it turns out that if Nick Young goes crazy, no one can stop him from scoring.

Nick Young singled Harden, and did not use any fancy dribbles. After just a few crotch dribbles, Nick Young began to go crazy. Facing Harden's interference, he ignored Harden's interference and directly shot a three-pointer.

Just when the teammates covered their faces and felt that the ball should be lost, the ball miraculously entered the basket after bouncing a few times on the basket!

"This, this is also fine!" Looking at the lucky three-pointer, Harden couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.
