Chapter 37, Game [-] of preseason, Rockets

Not long after, Lin Xiao finally attended the press conference with Brown and others. Several people held their brand new jerseys, but they had different thoughts in their hearts. Naturally, one or two marginal people would not think too much.

In the first game of the preseason, David Stern was very smart to put the first game at the Toyota Center, and the Bobcats challenged the Rockets away.

The attendance rate of the Toyota Center Arena is not very high. There is no way that the preseason is like this. Larry Brown briefly explained in the locker room that the Rockets have players this season.

Yao Ming, Kevin Martin, Sean Battier, Trevor Ariza, Luis Scola, luxury lineup, rookies Jordan Hill and Lowry and Aaron Brooks are all very capable.

The locker room was relaxed and the players were joking with each other.No one took the initiative to provoke the quiet Lin Xiao, they just knew about Lin Xiao.

Lin Sen came in third from the bottom in the live DJ's shouting, and behind him were Chandler and Elvis Presley of the Bobcats

When Lin Sen came on stage, there were no cheers or boos.After greeting Dayao, Lin Xiao went down to warm up.

Lin Xiao knew that although he was playing under his mentor, he was not a privileged person, and sitting on the bench was inevitable, because he lacked experience, and what he needed was to learn.

"Lin, I didn't ask you to sit on the bench to look around, but to observe, to observe the opponent and to observe the teammates."

Larry Brown is very fond of this talented rookie in front of him. There is no other reason. His offensive talent is overwhelming, his defense is extremely hard, and players with both offense and defense are rare. It can be said that there will be fewer and fewer players in the future.

Lin Xiao didn't expect that this would make the coach dissatisfied: "I'm sorry, coach, I'm just too excited. You have to know that I have never stood on the NBA stage so authentically."

Larry Brown nodded: "Be prepared, you may be needed at any time. We play team basketball, and I like the tenacity you showed in the Olympics. You know, the characteristics of our team are defense and shooting. Hope you do well."

For the Rockets, Yao Ming Scola is the main player on the inside, and a wave of shooters and defensive fighters are assigned to the outside.Competitiveness is good.

Inside Yao Ming played very easily, singles
Raymond Felton, who just joined the Bobcats during the offseason, is a stocky player with average organizational skills and a lot of mistakes. The Bobcats were beaten by 29:17 in the first quarter. 12 points behind, and Lin Xiao has not yet had a chance to play.

The Bobcats, relying only on the tip-ups of Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace and Tyson Chandler, fell behind by a big score. Diaw's coping ability was not highlighted in this game, and his pace slowed down a lot.

Larry Brown frowned. The Bobcats' defense on the field was very bad. Just like what they thought at the beginning of the season. Although the point guards of the two teams were the same height, Felton made a slightly higher turnover on the Bobcats side, causing the ball to It is common for rights to change hands.

Gerald Wallace's personal offense has been unable to continue to catch fire. To be exact, Gerald Wallace's offense relies too much on singles breakthroughs and fouls to score points.

Thinking of this, Larry Brown glanced at Lin Xiao on the bench and Derek Brown who were chatting together.

There was a little bit of approval on his face, because at this moment Lin Xiao and Derek Brown were pointing and observing the game.

Compared with Stephen Ingram, Lin Sen's scoring ability is still much better. Although he lacks experience, the preseason is the time for training.

"Linshaw, Derek, ready to play in the second quarter, Lagabell shooting guard, Derek scoring small forward, Nazr Mohamed power forward, Alexi Akinsa center, Alexi, hold At the basket, I don't want your rebounds to beat Hayes!"

"clear."

Lin Xiao looked at coach Larry Brown, as if he didn't tell him.In fact, the meaning of the coach is very simple, but Lin Xiao doesn't understand that's all. This preseason game is a game to adjust the lineup and show talent.

The fans in the auditorium obviously saw Lin Xiao standing up. This is the Bobcats' key player this year. With such an outstanding performance in the Olympics, the fans wanted to see how this rookie performed. .They also hope that Mr. Jordan's vision will not disappoint the fans again.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Xiao entered the field.

"Oh, our rookie Lin Xiao is on the field. He is a compatriot of our core Yao Ming. This year's Olympics has brought a lot of trouble to the US team." The local radio commentator in charge of explaining the Rockets said so.

After receiving Alexi's outside serve, Lin Xiao dribbled the ball unhurriedly to the frontcourt.

Kyle Lowry looked at the rookie Lin Sen in front of him and smiled.However, there was no contempt in the slightest. Just as he was about to say hello, Lin Xiao didn't give him a chance at all.

Lowry instantly felt that he was being tricked: "Rookie, you came up and wanted to single me, I really want to tell you, rookie welcome to the NBA"

"Sorry, who are you?"

In Lin Xiao's words, Lowry was a little angry. After all, he was also a first-round pick. Although he was not in the lottery, he has proved himself over the years and through his own efforts.Lowry also secured the position of the Rockets' first backup point guard.

"Rookie, you will pay for your arrogance"

Lin Xiao hit him with his back.While secretly looking at the players' positions.Seeing that no one was double-teaming, he just arched inward, twice, turned slightly half-turned, made a feint, and made a shot. Lowry didn't even have the qualifications to interfere. Lin Xiao's bullet speed surpassed Lowry, and his height was also inferior 10 cm, and Lowry does not have a height of 1.83, at best 1.80, and hits two points backwards.

"Lin Xiao, shoot. yes, 2 points hit"

Lowry snorted coldly, he didn't expect this rookie to be so arrogant.

Lowry dribbled the ball and stared at Lin Xiao, thinking that he must give this rookie some color.

Lin Xiao stood on the spot and observed Lowry's actions. In his memory, Lowry was still a good guard, and he worked very hard to become one of the dual cores of the Raptors.

"Do you believe me when I say I can shoot?"

Lin Xiao felt bewildered, didn't react at all, and let himself be messed up by Lowry, who was making fake moves. Fortunately, Ariza came to meet him, and then directly broke through to the inside. Alexie jumped up and interfered, the ball missed, but it allowed Hayes to grab the offensive rebound. Just as he thought of jumping and hitting the rebound, Derek Brown cut it off and threw it to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao ran away. In a one-on-one game, Lin Xiao didn't worry about the future Xiaogang Cannon at all, and he directly succeeded in smashing and dunking with one hand. Lowry could only watch the ball score. Forget it.

He is 10 centimeters taller than Lowry, not to mention the advantage of bouncing.

Lowry stood aside and watched Lin Xiao smash the ball in.

"Hey Lori, how are you feeling?"

Lin Sen shrugged at Lowry and said, then turned and ran to the backcourt.

Although this fast break was sudden, Lin Xiao's performance was outstanding, and the audience naturally did not hesitate to give them applause.

"This is my applause, should I thank you for your cooperation?"

Lin Xiao's chattering mouth made Lori a little uncomfortable. He was not good at trash talking, but he took the initiative to provoke Lin Xiao when he saw that Lin Xiao was a rookie.

"Rookie, you will pay the price."

Looking at Lin Xiao in front of him, Luo Rui said coldly, and the rhythm of dribbling in his hands also picked up.

Lin Xiao looked at Lowry, and the advantage of height was still obvious.Lin Xiao can't be strong, and his shots will be blocked, so the only thing to worry about is his organizational skills.
