Hao Shuai’s defensive ability turned the Blues’ backfield into a restricted area, and whether you were Thorton, Johnson, or Dicker, could not score in this position, and finally forced the white team to give the ball to Capela to single.

Capela is a great defensive center, but offense at the basket is really not his good job.

The game between the two sides lasted a quarter, and in the end, the blue team won 26-16 against the white team by 10 points, and Hao Shuai scored 5 three-pointers alone, scored 15 points plus 3 blocks, 3 steals and 2 assists, and the data was quite eye-catching.

After the full confrontation training, you can see that the eyes of Bikstaff and Franklin looking at Hao Shuai have changed significantly.

Hao Shuai didn’t even play a game, and it only took one training session to conquer these two coaches.

The Rockets’ outside core, Thorton, also showed his generous side after the game, praising Hao Shuai in person.

He was also subdued by Hao Shuai.

The intense preparation didn’t last long, and on the third day after the start of the summer league, the Rockets made their summer league debut against the Heat led by Napier and Winslow.

The Rockets are known as the favorites to win this summer league because of their strong roster and past performances, and the heads of other teams have said in public that the team is not willing to encounter the Rockets too early.

The Heat, however, were somewhat unimpressed.

The Heat’s outside core, sophomore Shabaz Napier, revealed this attitude in a pregame interview.

“Compared to the Rockets, our outside players have more impact, and the Rockets shoot well from the outside, but their defensive problems are more obvious.” Napier said.

“The Rockets’ Hao Shuai once played ‘unbreakable defense’ in the NCAA Finals, will it be an X-factor in the game between the two sides?” This reporter should have watched the NCAA finals and asked directly.

“Yes, of course, I know him, he’s the same as me, he got the MOP, he’s this year, I’m last year, of course I know him.” Napier said with a smile, but quickly changed the tone, “But it’s not his defense alone, I talked to Justis [Winslow], it’s a Wisconsin defensive system, and he may still be in a lower position in terms of individual defensive ability.” ”

“Justis? Listen to the meaning of your words, are you ready to take a breath for the new people on the team? We all know that Justis was at Duke University, and he was defeated by the University of Wisconsin, led by Hao Shuai, in the NCAA finals. ”

“Yes, I bet with Justis, we bet on a pair of sneakers, of course I just wanted to tell him what to do when facing this kind of defense, he needs to grow faster.” Napier said with a smile.

Napier’s interview was heard by many fans on the sidelines, and some fans who supported the Heat seemed excited.

Winslow was well educated by Hao Shuai on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the NCAA, and on such a crucial occasion as the Finals, it must be a lie to say that he did not leave any shadows in his heart, which may be the reason for his poor performance in the first game (in the first game against the Clippers, Winslow played 16 minutes and scored 2 points and 2 turnovers on 0-of-3 shooting).

Now Napier, as the core and big brother of the summer league team, naturally wants to find a game for his little brother, and more importantly, as Napier said, he wants to use words and deeds to get Winslow out of the shadow of the NCAA finals.

After interviewing Napier, the reporter ran to interview the core of the Rockets, Thorton, and when he told Thorton Napier’s answer, the veteran showed a confused smile and finally said only four words: “I’m looking forward to it.” ”

This reporter looked confused, Thorton was still looking forward to his teammates being exploded?

Thorton didn’t explain much, just smiled and turned away.

After the final warm-up, the starters from both sides came on one after another.

Hao Shuai performed well in practice, but Bixstaff did not arrange him to start, and the Rockets’ starting lineup was the full lineup of the white team at training.

On the Heat’s side, the outside is a combination of Napier and Winslow, the small forward is James Ennis, who is physically strong and defensive, and the inside is a combination of Greg Whitdington and Juwan Howard Jr.

The game between the two sides officially began, with the Heat attacking first.

Napier dribbled the ball to the front, reached out to beckon his teammates to run, and pointed out the situation with great style.

Although he is only a sophomore, he has already played a major rotation with the Heat, and he is clearly one notch ahead of other players in terms of experience and technique.

After the Rockets’ defensive attention was pinned down by the rest of the Heat, Napier suddenly accelerated, quickly squeezed past Nick Johnson, rushed inside, and faced Capela’s defense, a beautiful aerial pull shot caused Capela’s hitter foul.

Hitting both free throws at the free throw line, Napier gave the Heat the first seat.
