The Rockets and the Celtics played for four minutes in the first quarter, but the score on the court was only 10:4. The offensive efficiency of both sides was not high, but the Rockets were more smoother than their opponents.

Six attacks, four successes, plus two free throws. Although the Rockets' offensive number is not as mercury as the ground, this success rate is enough to allow them to firmly control the situation and score on the court.

The Rockets' home performance is not outstanding in the Western Conference, but those who can win at the Toyota Center are not good at it. Now Rivers and the Celtics can clearly feel that the opponent's offense and defense are fierce here.

Especially on the defensive end, almost every push by the Celtics will play awkwardly. Van Gundy's voice on the sidelines did not hide it at all. He just asked his players to stick it as much as possible to cause trouble for the opponent. Even if it was a foul, the Celtics could not be comfortable playing. Faced with the defensive intensity that could rank among the top three in the league, Rivers' team now feels a little helpless.

It may be the first time that the Celtics felt that they were so uncomfortable on the offensive end, even more awkward than when they met the Pistons at the beginning of the season. Almost every shot was in a mess, they were reluctant to shoot out, which made them hit only two of the seven shots in the first four minutes!

This poor hit rate has almost twisted Rivers' brows, but he also knew that roaring now cannot solve any problem. The boys on the court did not take the game seriously, but the opponent's defense level is very strict and the close-fits defense is very tight, so it is really not easy to find an opportunity.

Thanks to Pierce's personal ability, under Bathir's close-fitting control, he used his two pick-and-roll cooperation with Chen Feng, and fired at a forty-five-degree angle with his super-strong feel, and hit two mid-range jump shots.

However, Pierce's shooting percentage was only two of four shots. Except for him, all the remaining guys were silent, especially Jefferson. He played very badly today and was blocked in both shots.

If the first time the cover was an accident, then the second time the cover was completely a hot topic. Jefferson's head was hot. He should have passed the ball when he and Chen Feng exchanged positions. As a result, this guy didn't know what he was thinking. After receiving the ball, he turned around and headed towards the basket, and was preparing to fill the basket with one hand.

There was no cover, no back-running, no crossing, and no wonderful pass. He just held the ball and made a strong move. Yao Ming didn't even move the position, and he slapped him head-on. Jefferson's one-handed grab was instantly slapped back to half.

It was just this block that directly allowed McGrady to get a quick counterattack. Although Rondo and Spreville were both chasing back to death, no one could stop the Rockets 1 from raging the basket.

Rivers was forced to call for a timeout because of this. He knew that the boys under his command were a little confused now. Whether it was the tactics he used to fighting or the individual combat, they were all contained very fiercely by the Rockets.

Of course, there is no need to say more about Pierce. Bathir is like a plaster, sticking to him anytime and anywhere. No matter whether it is running or catching the ball, as long as Pierce makes a move, Bathir will follow him like a shadow.

Those two shots were made by Chen Feng's position and he got his phone out. Even so, Bathier's interference almost messed up Pierce's shooting rhythm. Fortunately, both shots were successfully penetrated into the basket.

However, the most troublesome problem for Rivers now is that Jefferson's performance was completely curbed, and one of the offensive points in the inside could not be opened. In addition, Chen Feng was also stuck by the opponent on the other side. Rondo wanted to hand the ball over to Chen Feng several times, but because of Alstom's entanglement and the Rockets' inside switch defense, he had to give up.

Rivers considered this situation before the game. Van Gundy's old man would definitely not allow the Celtics' comfortable offense in the inside line, and he would definitely have to make some damage. However, Rivers did not expect that Jefferson, who has always been stable, was in a mess first. Not only was he blocked twice by Yao, he also took a foul while defending.

That's also because yao Ming's back-attack in the inside line, Jefferson wanted to hit the opponent too much, and then attacked too quickly when defending, giving the opponent two free throws in vain, and he was even called a foul.

"Al, come down and take a break, I need you to calm down." Rivers rarely makes such a direct substitution, but he must let Jefferson calm down his mind on the sidelines at this moment.

Although Jefferson looked very annoyed, he had to be obediently squatted on the bench. This guy also knew that his performance in those few minutes was indeed very abnormal and he completely lost his usual rhythm of the game.

Rivers didn't have time to care about Jefferson's emotional problems. He had to calm down all his wicked boys, at least to calm them down, and not to vent his brainlessness like he had just now.

"Patrick, you come on the court, and now you need to adjust the defense tasks in the inside. Chen Feng, you should go to guard yao and try not to make him shoot very comfortable. You should start to put pressure on him from the moment you catch the ball!"

Facing Van Gundy's dual core, Rivers can only push the danger as far as possible. The Celtics' inside line can no longer be ravaged by opponents, and staring at it to the death is the most critical point.

Rivers couldn't guarantee that his tactics would work, but compared with Perkins and Jefferson, that kid Chen Feng was more reliable. At least this kid is still very clear now.

Although Chen Feng failed to score points in the previous few minutes of the game, the cover of Chen Feng in the offensive allowed Pierce to find a shooting opportunity twice. This was also a rare offensive cooperation for the Celtics in the previous chaos, and his interlude in the inside was also timely. If Jefferson could pass the ball just now, Chen Feng would have a chance to take Zhu Wan Howard, who changed his position and defended himself. Although that kid was not as crazy as usual, among the people on the court, he might know the best in his mind what he should do. So at this time, Rivers hoped that Chen Feng could disrupt Yao Ming's rhythm on the defensive end, at least he would make Yao Ming a little awkward.

Chen Feng listened to Rivers' arrangement and said nothing, but just looked at the Rockets' compatriot in the No. 11 uniform, who was looking down at what Van Gundy was saying, but the cheers around him never stopped.

If Chen Feng only met that fellow villager from the video material before the game, then Chen Feng now has a very intuitive understanding of that big man. His height of more than 20 meters can definitely cause big trouble for any team on both ends of offense and defense. Not to mention the problems of average running ability or lack of bounce ability, if you have such a height and give you the animal-like bounce ability of Master Qiao, then the earth is no longer your main battlefield. Not to mention Chamberlain, being able to sleep with 20,000 women in his life is not within the category of normal people. It is obvious that he is very flexible in the big grid, and with the soft feel, Jefferson is a little annoyed, even if Chen Feng is watching from the side, it feels very tricky. After all, there is a height gap of more than 20 centimeters, so it is really difficult to block it.

In the first few minutes of the game, Chen Feng had been changing positions with Jefferson, trying to pull the opponent's movement in this way. After all, it was definitely not that easy for such a big guy to make up for defense.

But Jefferson was a little angry when he played basketball today. There was no problem with the two of them changing positions, but Jefferson chose to do it alone, but he was slapped with two big hats and had no temper at all. Now Rivers was pushed to the bench and squatted. Chen Feng could only expect Perkins not to be as hot-headed as Jefferson.

Few people can hear the strategy of coaches on both sides of the field. Even if the broadcasting technology is developed now, few people will take the initiative to explore what tactics the head coach will say during the timeout. More people are still paying attention to the process of the game, rather than the fight between the coaches on both sides on the sidelines. So Van Gundy and Rivers are arranging tactics, but those Houston fans are singing the victory song of the Rockets.

"arocketmaan!", these Rockets fans are now summoning the glorious moment that once belonged to them in this way. They are also looking forward to the guys in front of them to help the Rockets go further this season, especially at home, to continue to win!

The fans' shouts and singing filled the entire Toyota Center, but in addition to the fans, there are also some people in the stadium paying attention to such a game from another perspective. Those people, like Xie Miaomiao, are all in the media seats, and the focus of their discussion is also focused on yao Ming and Chen Feng.

"Xie Damei, in the first few minutes of the game, it seems that the novice you are with has no chance to perform for the time being. The whole process is completely in the Rockets' usual habits. The Celtics were crushed to death. According to Zhang's words, it was just that we played too reasonable, and the Bostonians can't find any way to crack all this, including the big man you are optimistic about."

The guy around me was nagging since the beginning of the game, which made Xie Miaomiao feel urge to swing the camera in his hand and hit his nose, but his opinion does represent the ideas of many people.

At least most of the Chinese journalists around Xie Miaomiao look like this. Between yaoming and Chen Feng, they obviously prefer the former. Although they are all Chinese, yaoming is their old friend who has been following for three or four years, and only two or three people support Xie Miaomiao's opinion. But God knows whether they are getting close to the beauty. Now Xie Miaomiao may still think that this will be a even-match contest and will not become yaoming's one-man show, but now she is the only one who thinks so.

"A group of idiots, idiots, if the Celtics were so easy to defeat, how could they enter the top six in the East after Chen Feng was absent for a month and the entire lineup was only less than five months old. Those bandits in green clothes were so easy to conquer? Let's dream about it!"

Now Xie Miaomiao is only looking forward to the next game. The facts can slap those idiots in the face for her, but just like the problem of Rivers scratching her head, she can also feel the trouble that yaoming has created for the Celtics' inside line. "yaoming that guy is too tall, I really don't know what the kid will think of."

Rivers and the others don’t understand the old Chinese saying that one inch long and one inch strong, but they also don’t know that there is another saying, one inch short and one inch dangerous. There is a bald wild boy who wants to take risks...
