Chapter 698 Hanging D'Antoni (First Update!)

After the timeout, D'Antoni made substitution adjustments. He replaced Capela and Brewer with Tucker and Mbah a Moute.

This is a new lineup of one big and four small.

Cousins ​​stormed Jokic inside, and Davis assisted in defense.

Jokic's confrontation is not as good as Cousins, but he sinks his weight and resists.

After Cousins ​​saw Davis coming to help defend, he threw the ball directly to Tucker in the corner.

The strength of the big and four small lineups lies in the sense of space on the court. Once double-teamed, it is easy to have a direct open shot.

"Snapped!"

However, the ball was intercepted by Ariza who shot out from the oblique side!

The results of Stevens' training camp are in.

Defense is not about individuals, it's about real systems.

A good defense does not wait until the opponent makes a choice, but has a prediction, and this prediction comes from the system.

Davis will definitely help defend. Cousins' choice is either to attack or pass the ball. The success rate of the attack is not high.

These are the things Stevens explained in the training camp and continued to practice.

The Pelicans made a steal and directly played a fast break. In a three-for-two frontcourt, Davis received a pass from Tang Tian and put in a layup in the middle to score.

9 to 5!

In the opening game, the Rockets beat the Pelicans 5-0. Stevens called a timeout and the Pelicans returned 9-0!

But here D'Antoni called a timeout, and the Rockets made a mistake when they came back, and the Pelicans countered with a fast break.

No harm without comparison!

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt and made a signature pull-up after Cousins' pick-and-roll.

Looking back at Jokic's high-level organization, Tang Tian cut in to catch the ball and passed it to Holiday on the outside, who also made a three-pointer.

These two rounds became a microcosm of the half-time game.

D'Antoni and Stevens were completely abused in playing tactics, and the Rockets relied more on individual singles.

On the other hand, the Pelicans don't cooperate very well on the offensive end, but they play more like a team, and they can play defensive counterattacks from time to time.

Stevens really beat D'Antoni at the tactical level.

More than eight minutes into the first quarter, relying on personal ability, the Rockets and the Pelicans played a 20-26.

But after entering the rotation, the Pelicans quickly opened up the score.

After halftime, the Pelicans led the Rockets by 14 points 60 to 46.

The eyes of the fans on the sidelines were filled with unconcealable excitement.

At the beginning, they thought the Pelicans' season was over, but now it seems that the Pelicans' new season will really blow up.

The Rockets' super Big Three were completely beaten at halftime.

A good coach and system can obviously improve the strength of the team.

Stevens in history once led a core lineup of rookie Tatum, second-year Jaylen Brown, and Horford to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Now he is coaching the team led by Tang Tian, ​​and the strength is originally the Pelicans at the level of the Western Conference Finals.

Moreover, the Pelicans are different from the Celtics team led by Irving. The boss of that team is not clear, and many players' contracts are about to expire.

But the positioning of the core and role players of the Pelicans is very clear, and they are still struggling to win the championship in the new season.

So what the Pelicans played in this half is what Stevens can play when coaching the Pelicans.

During the halftime break, Tang Tian attended the promotion activities of Hangzhou Basketball School as a guest.

"It may take five years, ten years, or even longer to see results, but we can afford to wait. Just like our country, it took us sixty years to become a world power again. I have reason to believe that ten years In 2019, Chinese basketball at that time will surpass any previous ones and be truly world-class.”

Yao Ming's political awareness is really high, and he used the country as an example, which immediately resonated with the fans.

"I hope that in the Olympics before I retire, I can start with NBA players."

Tang Tian's words were full of humor.

He is now 23 years old, and it is estimated that there are still ten or twenty years before he retires. This just echoes the effect of Yao Ming's words, and the fans at the scene burst into laughter.

But it was a hopeful smile.

The things Chinese people love most are growing vegetables and building infrastructure, which take time to produce results.

Now that Yao Ming is running a basketball school, it's like planting hope and laying the foundation.

One day in the future, they will be able to see a forest and tall buildings.

This time the basketball school promotion activity was very successful, and many people on the scene were eager to try.

Many of these fans have families and businesses. For them, if their children are interested and they have the opportunity now, they will definitely be willing to try.

The starters on both sides did not play in the second half, and they all finished with the bench and the bench.

This is also the characteristic of the preseason, and both sides will have reservations.

David West of the Rockets showed an excellent competitive state, scoring 15 points alone in the second half.

Speaking of which, he was also a legend this past summer.

He signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Pacers in 2013, and he has a player option this summer.

He averaged 11.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in the Pacers last season, but because he is 35 years old, the free market prospects after he jumps out will not be very good.

But he finally chose to jump out.

Not because he is stupid, but because he has made enough money and wants to chase the championship he wants at the end of his career.

In the end, he joined the Rockets at the invitation of his old teammate Paul, and signed a basic salary to chase his championship dream.

Judging from his level in the second half, he still has the strength of the starting level.

But the Pelicans also had a bright performance here.

Dinwiddie, who became Nash's new disciple, appeared to be more comfortable on the court after the second grade. He scored 10 points and 4 assists in the half.

Of course, he is not the only one who is eye-catching. Bo Yang still scored 3 three-pointers in the half, and his outside shots were very stable.

It can be seen that he is really capable, and the Pelicans traded Gordon for him in the summer. It is not a loss.

In the end, the Pelicans stabilized the situation and won the game 104-94.

At the end of the game, after the two sides shook hands, Tang Tian promoted his foundation on the spot.

Now all over the world, natural disasters are more dependent on the government to rescue.

But because too many people are involved, most of the time what can be done is to save people. As for how to survive in the future, it still depends on the victims themselves.

For those able-bodied, there is hope for a fresh start.

But for those families with disabled limbs or lost labor, survival will become very difficult.

Tang Tian's foundation mainly helps these people.

He was established because of the New Orleans hurricane, but he named it the Global Foundation, which helps people all over the world.

Thanks to ayukawa, Xingfeng Xiaoye, Hengxindexingxing, Xi_ren for their rewards.
