Chapter 353 Gambling(2/2)
After the player introduction was completed, the head coaches of both sides pulled the players to start tactical deployment.
Tang Hao did not appear in the lineup. The Lakers' starting five tigers are Jeremy Lin, Kobe, Wesley Johnson, Renne Kelly and Jordan Hill.
On the Rockets, Patrick Beverly and Harden started and went back, Trevo Ariza and Donatas Motieyunas on the front line, and the center was "Warcraft" Howard.
Judging from the book strength alone, the Rockets are obviously stronger than the Lakers.
The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the game between the two sides began.
"Bang! Bang!"
At the beginning of the game, Tang Hao could clearly hear the sound of muscles colliding on the court. This was different from the Asian Games and also from the preseason. The intensity of physical confrontation between the players on the court was significantly higher than that of the players.
The higher the intensity of physical confrontation, the harder it is to complete technical movements. This is why some players can score points in low-level games, but when they go to the international stage of NBA, they are struggling.
"Are you a little scared?" The commentator of this game was Charles Barkley and his old partner Kenny Smith. When he saw Tang Hao's expression at this time, Barkley couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe, but I think you must have a lot of feelings to say." Smith said.
"Yes, I've met many newcomers at the beginning. They are all core members in college, but when they arrived at the league, they were shocked to see this level of physical confrontation."
"If Don is one of them, then you've won the gambling." Smith said with a smile.
"Kenny, it's still early. Kobe and I were betting on the same season. I've never thought that this little guy could get 10 points in the first game. You know, this is in the regular season." Smith looked at the court with a smile.
Just as the two were chatting, the momentum of the game on the field had completely turned to the Rockets.
Kobe had a good start, but the Lakers' overall strength was much better than the Rockets. With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the team was already 12 points behind 16-28.
Scott shook his head helplessly on the sidelines.
At this time, both sides had already started to replace substitutes one after another. The two core players of the Rockets, Harden and Howard, both left the court one after another. On the Lakers, Kobe also sat off the court and rested for a while.
His face was solemn, and he could not be happy about the backward situation in front of him.
"Tang." With 2 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Scott finally turned around and called out Tang Hao.
Tang Hao took off his coat and then stood up from his seat.
Seeing Tang Hao get up, Kobe glanced at him and continued, "Perform well."
Tang Hao nodded and then walked towards the technical table.
There is no dead ball time on the field game, and players can only be replaced in the designated area in front of the technical table, etc.
When he walked towards the technical desk, he naturally saw Barkley and Smith sitting behind the commentary.
Barkley also noticed Tang Hao and looked up.
The two people looked at each other.
Tang Hao grinned, his expression looked very kind.
Barkley was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Tang Hao's smile meant.
Tang Hao walked to the technical table with a smile, and then sat down with his back against the technical table.
"Jason (Terry) was shaking beautifully, oh God, Carlos (Bozer)'s defense is really bad. He made a foul, the Rockets' free throws have arrived, and Jason is going to go to the free throw line."
The voice of Barkley's commentator came from behind.
"beep!"
At this moment, a short whistle came from behind.
Chapter completed!
