Superstar Athletes’ Black Tech Systems

The Rockets made the playoffs last time in 2009.

After Yao Ming was reimbursed that year, the Rockets entered a period of reconstruction.

With Tracy McGrady being traded, Yao Ming retired, Artest left, the Rockets won the lottery championship for three consecutive years.

They remain competitive while trying to enter the playoffs, while cultivating players with low pick potential, and then keep trading, hoping to exchange the gross ticket for the entire money.

James Harden is the result of three years of waiting.

This season, James Harden improved from the sixth man with 16.8 points per game to the team's core guard with 25 points per game.

His scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, and turnovers all set career highs.

And not a little bit higher, but a substantial increase.

He was selected as an All-Star, proving that he is indeed a superstar embryo and can become the core player of the team.

This is his fourth season in the NBA. He is only 23 years old and has unlimited possibilities.

Like the Rockets, the starting players are young people, Jeremy Lin, Parsons, Asik.

This summer, they will have a huge salary space to naked sign an All-Star player.

So, for the Rockets, they reached the playoffs as the eighth place, the task has been completed.

The Lakers have no chance of winning.

If you can win the next game, you will earn two games. If you win three games, if you win four games?

It is estimated that the forum on the Chinese side exploded directly, and then the NASDAQ went public.

After playing the last regular season game with the Lakers, the Rockets played directly in Los Angeles for three days.

Players train during the day and relax in groups at night to the savvy places in Los Angeles.

Although Houston is also a big city, strip clubs are also well-known in the United States, but it is still inferior to the colorful Los Angeles.

In short, the spirit of the two teams is not the same before the start of the game.

The Lakers players all have serious faces, and purple lights hit their faces, one after another like sculptures.

Rockets players relax a lot, feeling not to play in the playoffs, but in exhibition games.

Of course, this does not mean that the Rockets will release water during the game.

The playoffs are the playoffs. When you play on the court, everyone will be desperate.

After the opening ceremony, the players from both sides stood on the bright yellow floor of Staples.

For Li Lianglai, it feels really no different from the regular season.

The opening ceremony did not become more grand, the stars who invited to sing the national anthem were not very big cards, and the audience in Los Angeles never made any uniforms or gimmicks like towels.

Everything looks not much different from the regular season.

To say the difference, it is that Mike Brown had more nagging before the game than in the regular season.

In some regular-season games, Mike Brown didn't make much preparations, anyway, let the players play by themselves.

The playoffs are different. Mike Brown has been meeting with the coaching staff over the past few days to watch videos and make tactics.

Although it is the first round, the opponent is the eighth-ranked Rockets, still can not be underestimated.

The Rockets' starters are Harden, Asik, Jeremy Lin, Parsons and Smith.

This is a very young starter, the oldest Asik is 26 years old, the youngest Greg Smith is 22 years old.

On the Rockets' bench, the oldest is Garcia, only 31 years old.

The other 30-year-old player is Delfino. In addition, the Rockets are young people in their 20s.

In comparison, the Lakers are almost a nursing home.

But in the playoffs, it's the veteran.

The game officially started at 2:30 PM Pacific Time.

The schedule for the first game of the playoffs is always on the afternoon of the rest day.

Because the United States has a large time zone, especially Los Angeles on the Pacific coast.

If the game time is normally scheduled to be played in the evening, then the audience in the eastern region will watch the game early in the morning.

So for live broadcasts throughout the United States, and for audiences across the United States to watch the playoff premiere, the game time will be scheduled in the afternoon.

The result of such a game schedule is that the Chinese fans are miserable. They have to wait until the early hours to see the first game of the playoffs.

The Rockets and the Lakers are two of the most popular teams in China. I don’t know how many night owls fans stay up late to watch this playoff.

Howard and Asik stood in the middle circle and jumped the ball.

Howard took the lead to win the ball, Nash got the ball and the game began.

The 2013 playoffs kicked off.

In the opening goal, Howard responded to the horns and Nash passed the ball to Howard.

Howard catches the ball sideways, suddenly turns around and accelerates, cuts into the rim from the middle and forces a layup!

Li Liang stood at the bottom corner and looked ignorant.

Ok? How did Howard get the ball himself?

Where does this scene seem to have been seen?

Mike Brown, are you under Carlisle?

Anyway, Li Liang did not listen to the tactical arrangement, how to open is Howard singles.

Howard held the ball to the inside and a forcible one-handed throw was made without even hitting the basket.

Asik stood straight in front of Howard, and the Turk's 2.18-meter height and sturdy body were not given in vain.

The ball missed, the two people grabbed together, the ball flew directly to the corner.

Li Liang stood still, and the ball flew to his side, jumped lightly and took the ball off.

People stand at the bottom corner and the ball comes from the sky.

In the regular season, Li Liang can vote.

In the playoffs, Greg Smith rushed to defend.

Li Liang made a fake shot and Smith flew out.

Li Liang dribble the ball to the bottom line to break through, and Asik and Parsons both came to help defense.

Li Liang passed the ball to the inside, Howard received the ball from the basket and vigorously dunked with both hands!

The first cheer this afternoon broke out at the Staples Center!

Li Liang played this ball extremely calmly, because Howard's shot did not touch the basket, so the offensive time did not return to the table.

In this case, Li Liang made a fake move and could actually cast it in one step.

But he didn't shoot, but after attracting more defense, he cleverly hit the ground to make the Howard attack the basket and scored the first point of the playoffs.

The offensive time has passed 20 seconds, and it will time out after a while.

Li Liang's calmness was really unexpected.

Mike Brown on the sidelines also worried that Li Liang's first playoffs would fluctuate.

After all, it's a rookie, and many rookies have adapted to the regular season, and they were taught to be a man in the playoffs.

From the first goal, Li Liang did a good job. Mike Brown opened the game with Howard playing more, and the success rate.

Li Liang must have listened to his layout before passing the ball.

In fact, Li Liang didn't listen at all. He only saw Howard took the opportunity to pass.

And he feels that the Rockets' defensive strength is not as good as the Magic.

Turning the Rockets offense, Jeremy Lin quickly passed the half, Asik was screened in the middle, Jeremy Lin passed the ball and broke through. There was no chance to return the ball to Parsons.

Smith gave Parsons a cover, Li Liang came out to delay, and then recovered.

Parsons has no chance.

Two pick-and-rolls outside the Rockets did not pose a threat to the Lakers defense.

Because the two screeners, Asik and Smith, had no cover at all.

Their cover is really just cover, like Big Ben.

The ball finally passed into Harden's hands, tactics can not be played, it depends on Harden.

Harden faced Kobe at 45 degrees to the right, and after a continuous crotch dribble, he shot directly outside the three-point line!

Hit!

It seems that Harden's feel is good, and he has not been sucked up by the Los Angeles nightclubs.

Li Liang walked to Kobe and said, "What do you defend against? You don't pounce? Just watch him cast?"

Li Liang has just fought against McGrady, and whenever McGrady shoots, he tries his best to pounce.

Kobe just stepped in well and didn't give Harden a chance to walk in.

But when Harden jumped suddenly, he stretched out his hand, which would not be scolded.

In the playoffs, Li Liang will not be polite to anyone.

Of course, he was not very polite in the regular season.

The feeling of opening both sides is good, the first attack has entered.

Then, Li Liang began to provide cover for Nash from outside.

The Rockets' first defense was still tentative. They let Greg Smith play against Li Liang. This is undoubtedly a mistake.

Although Smith is tall and long, it seems that it can effectively interfere with Li Liang.

But his footsteps and defensive judgment are a problem.

After Li Liang and Nash screened, Smith appeared hesitant to delay Nash.

As a result, Nash held the ball directly into the three-second zone and Parsons on the flank had to come over to assist defense.

Nash immediately gave the ball to the free Ci Shiping.

Ci Shiping made a three-pointer shot.

5:2, the Lakers are in good condition.

The Rockets' youngsters are undoubtedly a little nervous. The next time they attacked, they coordinated a lap and finally gave Asik a low singles Howard?

The Lakers watched Asik singles and ate Howard.

Nash got the ball and launched a quick counterattack, Li Liang rushed ahead.

Nash saw Li Liang rushing so fast, a high throw long pass.

As soon as the pass came out, did Nash feel wrong, did it pass?

This is Bruce Lee~www.readwn.com~ not Marion.

As a result, Li Liang jumped high and received the ball in the air. Under the interference of Parsons, his hands dunked the ball into the basket!

Parsons also fouled!

The air relay from Li Liang!

Nash smiled at the ball, but Li Liang didn't expect to catch it, and dunked it in.

Because Li Liang's bouncing has improved, bouncing is not only useful for defense.

Standing on the free throw line, Li Liang made a free throw and the Lakers opened the Rockets with an 8:3.

McHale immediately called a timeout, and the game had just started less than 3 minutes.

Li Liang thought, the playoffs, that's it.

Also, flight attendants are really fun.
