The Godfather of Basketball

Landry ≥ Dante Green.

Pietrus> Bobby Jackson.

The second round in 2010

The value of this chip is lower than the Rockets traded to Artest in previous impressions.

But this is actually reasonable, after all, at this time Artest has only the right to use less than half a season.

The Kings could use him to trade a potential rookie and a second round, and it's already considered that Morey paid back some of their previous bills.

The addition of Artest also marks the Rockets becoming the league's first quad-core team.

Centers: Yao Ming, Jordan

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Scola

Small forwards: Artest, Shane Battier, Old Barry

Shooting guards: McGrady, Morrow, Weaver

Point guards: Billups, Sun Yue, Dragic

Just need to add some inside veterans, the Rockets' carrier is officially formed.

Of course, the premise is that Tang Tian can show the strength of this paper lineup.

Two days later, Artest completed a physical examination and came to the Rockets locker room.

Between the Rockets, Yao Ming and Artest had exchanges. Just now, the two were smiling and hugging for the first time.

Others reacted more generally to his arrival, but only greeted him symbolically.

Pietrus and Landry are the old men of the team. They were traded away, and the players had some ideas in their minds.

"Ron, the coach told you to go to his office." Lucas II came over and called him as soon as he put his things in the closet.

Artest nodded, and went straight to the coach's office.

He knocked on the door and saw Tang Tian.

Tang Tian motioned Artest to sit, and then looked at him for a while.

As in past life's memory, Artest at this time was less irritable and more calm.

When most people's impressions of him remained in the Auburn Hills Palace incident, after a series of things such as being suspended, the teacher was fired, and the core of the bad team, he actually changed a lot.

"Have face to face with the team members, how do you feel?" Tang Tian asked.

"Yes, Yao is very enthusiastic, others are more average, but I'm used to it." Artest was quite straightforward.

Tang Tian froze, then laughed. This kind of straight-forward character resembled him very much.

But in this case, the trouble of turning corners is also saved.

"Carr and Michael have contributed a lot to this team. They were the hero of the team's championship last season. This is normal. You want to get their recognition and you have to prove it with the performance on the court." Tang Tian continued.

"Yes, I know. I'm actually very excited to come from a team like that to a championship team." Artest is still very straightforward.

"Um." Tang Tian nodded. Although Artest had a bad temper, he had to admit that he was a very good player.

"Calling you, on the one hand, asks how you are adapting, on the other hand, it is also necessary to talk to you in advance about the team's arrangements for you."

Tang Tian looked at Artest: "The team is ready to make you a sixth man."

"Sixth person?" Artest froze, and this was the first time he heard the decision.

"Yes, similar to Odom," Tang Tian continued. "Of course, there is a part of the reason here, because I don't want to break the tacit understanding of the existing lineup."

"I see." Artest didn't behave very much, perhaps because of Tang Tian's confession, or maybe because he had experienced too much.

Tang Tian was slightly surprised, but how much strength Artest can play can only be seen in the game.

On February 20th, American time, the fourth day after the All-Star Game, the Rockets took home the challenge and ushered in the Cleveland Cavaliers challenge.

This is the second match between the two seasons. The last time the Rockets won the game with Yao Mai's excellent play.

However, after more than half a season of running-in, the Cavaliers played the best season since James joined. They currently rank first in the league with 46-9 and record more than the Rockets and Lakers.

It is natural to have a media interview before the match.

"We are here for revenge. We will play the game as the finals. We want to win this game."

Maybe it was the experience of being swept by the Rockets two years ago, or the strength of this season made the Cavaliers regard the Rockets as the biggest opponent to win the championship. James's attitude is extremely firm.

"We are the champions, and we will let him understand this." The other Rockets before the game were relatively low-key, but Artest, when the reporter came to James before the game, directly responded.

That night, the Toyota Center was full again.

The Rockets' four giants are taking shape. The fans are anxious to see the team's debut show, not to mention the opponent is the league's first Cavaliers.

"No. 9, Yi Jianlian!"

"No. 31, Sean ~ Shane Battier!"

"No. 4, Chauncey ~ Billups!"

"Number 1, Tracy McGrady!"

"No. 11, Yao ~ Ming !!!"

...

However, at the opening ceremony, fans unexpectedly discovered that Artest did not appear in the lineup, which made them confused.

"Hey, Kenny, the Rockets didn't let Artest, but didn't let out a little bit of wind before the game. What do you think about this?" The solution of this game is Barkley and Smith, Barkley asked questions after seeing it.

"Perhaps because of the first game, he is not very familiar with the team's tactical system." Smith gave a relatively reasonable explanation.

At this time, players from both sides have already appeared.

On the Cavaliers side, Mo Williams and Deronti West are on the perimeter, James and Ben Wallace on the front, and Ilgos Cass at the center.

Yao Ming and Ilgauskas jumped the ball, the latter returned the ball to the half, the Cavaliers got the opportunity to lead the attack.

Williams held the ball to the frontcourt and directly passed the ball to James.

James broke through the middle of the road ~ www.readwn.com ~ West and Williams used Big Ben and Ilgoskas' pick-and-rolls to run to the three-point line on both sides.

Although Mike Brown's coaching level is average, he has coached James for four years and has figured out the best tactics for James.

Williams sped away Yao Ming and James's pass followed.

"Oh!"

Williams hit a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball.

Mo Williams is averaging 18 points per game this season, and can hit 2.3 three-pointers per game at 43.9%. This season, the Cavaliers can achieve such a good record and is inseparable from his outstanding performance.
