The effect of [Team Leader] is equivalent to that of Fiery Touch (low-level), but it improves not Zhao Chen himself, but Zhao Chen's teammates. This is the biggest nanny skill.
As long as Zhao Chen is on the court, the status of his teammates will be affected, and it will be a positive impact!
Hill played 6 times in the preseason, winning 1-5 on jump balls....
Without too many surprises, Hill lost the jump ball to Howard.
Howard slapped the ball to Harden, but Harden didn't let the ball stay in his hands. Before half-time, he threw the ball directly to Ariza who was about to leave in the middle.
The Lakers' defense had not yet been set up. Ariza caught the ball and took three steps to end the game with an easy layup.
2 to 0
3 seconds, just 3 seconds to complete the attack, as fast as the bald king.
Lakers fans felt the Rockets' attitude of wanting to win tonight.
Harden appears to be very active in the new season, passing the ball directly through the entire court.
“James Harden’s pass goes really far.”
"The main thing is that he is accurate, and Ariza's movements are also very fast."
"The Lakers were a little careless in the layout of their defense. They were slow to return to defense."
The high momentum at home since the start was slightly curbed by this opening fast break.
"Step fast, don't be careless." Zhao Chen shouted to his teammates, and then went over to receive Hill's serve.
Zhao Chen caught the ball and advanced, and the cheers on the scene started again.
Fans who watch the regular season are different from those who watch the preseason. The regular season is Zhao Chen's real debut.
It was Beverley who defended Zhao Chen.
"Snapped!"
Beverly fouled Zhao Chen for a defensive steal when he came up.
"Beep!!"
After the referee blew the penalty, Beverley didn't take it seriously. Instead, he clapped hard at Zhao Chen with fierce eyes.
Beverley is good at biting fiercely and clinging to defenders. Most point guards are afraid of this kind of defensive player.
But Zhao Chen is not afraid of such a mad dog. He can hang Beverly and beat him like Dong 77.
Zhao Chen received the sideline ball and advanced again.
In the frontcourt, Zhao Chen first exchanged hands with Hill who came out to cover.
Movement, cover!
Tucker came up and set a pick-and-roll for Zhao Chen.
Beverly was blocked by Tucker, and Zhao Chen squeezed in with the help of the space created by Tucker.
Howard and Jones both defended Zhao Chen at the same time.
Zhao Chen glanced at him and sent the ball towards the center with his low hand.
Hill received the ball at high speed and easily dunked with both hands in the open space.
"frame!!!"
This is Hill's only role, he can grasp this kind of cake.
After completing the chop, Hill waved his fist. Hill was very excited. He felt that he was in great shape tonight.
2 to 2.
"Tucker and Zhao Chen's cooperation, Zhao Chen's smooth entry."
"Zhao Chen attracted everyone's attention and sent the ball to Hill who was open."
"Hill's dunk!!! Assist from Zhao Chen!!"
Coach Zhang shouted quickly, and Zhao Chen's pass was still impressive.
Lakers fans are also discussing this ball.
"Zhao can easily attract a flanking attack."
"Hey, if there is no double attack, Zhao will get the ball by himself."
"Amazing!!"
It's been a long time since Lakers fans saw this kind of pass that made them feel awesome in the regular season.
Last season, the Lakers didn't even have a player who could attract a double-attack.
On the court, Zhao Chen returned to defense with a relaxed expression.
In Zhao Chen's opinion, the Rockets' defense is similar to last season, and he is very familiar with it.
Rockets offense.
Harden dribbles forward.
Harden's eyes were full of seriousness.
Zhao Chen's breakthrough and tearing apart the defense just now reminded him of last season's playoffs.
Zhao Chen's breakthrough treats the defense like nothing! !
In the frontcourt, the Lakers played man-to-man tactics.
Zhao Chen wants to keep an eye on Harden, the Rockets' strongest offensive point.
Zhao Chen hopes to turn the game into a one-on-one game between Harden and him, so as to avoid the disadvantage of the Lakers' overall lineup to the greatest extent.
After several consecutive changes of direction, Harden could not pass Zhao Chen.
Harden could feel that Zhao Chen's defense was more difficult than before.
No more beating Zhao Chen.
Howard caught Hill in the low post on the left side of the inside, and the position was successful, and Harden lobbed the ball in.
As soon as Howard got the ball in the low post, Tucker went over to double attack.
Howard wanted to play hard, but he still didn't choose to split the ball when facing two people. He turned around and wanted to play hard.
"Bah!" Tucker cut the ball off and Zhao Chen got it.
Zhao Chen took the ball and counterattacked at high speed. Before his teammates could catch up, Zhao Chen did it himself.
A back dribble changed direction and passed Beverley. Beverley wanted to pull Zhao Chen, but he only touched Zhao Chen's jersey and failed to pull him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Chen directly accelerated twice and passed Harden who was standing at the post.
Ariza chased Zhao Chen on the right side.
Zhao Chen only aimed at the basket. After entering the three-point line, he took three steps to collect the ball! !
Soaring into the air, Ariza gave up the pursuit.
Zhao Chen's head was directly higher than the basket.
Gorgeous tomahawk dunk hit the basket!
The strength is overwhelming and the world is unparalleled! !
"frame!"
The basket was shaken by Zhao Chen's smash!
2 to 4.
Zhao Chen scored his first score at Staples Arena with a tomahawk! !
"Oh, Zhao Chen's counterattack was too fast. He didn't hesitate at all and scored his Lakers' first point with a dunk."
"Nice dragon counterattack."
"Zhao's personal abilities are fully demonstrated!"
"Dwight shouldn't force it. The Lakers' defense is not as fragile as he thought."
Howard was really upset. Tucker cut the ball too fast and he didn't even protect the ball. He was careless.
Rockets offense.
Harden didn't give it to Howard in the low post this time. He signaled Howard to come up for a pick-and-roll.
Last season, Howard would have been reluctant to pick-and-roll Harden, but this season, Howard has adjusted his mentality.
Howard didn't continue to ask for the ball and came up to cover Harden.
Harden used Howard's screen to get rid of Zhao Chen's pursuit, and Hill switched defenses.
Harden didn't hesitate to attack Hill immediately. The European step ball passed over his head and scored easily for a layup.
4 to 4!
Although the ball was not defended, Zhao Chen still encouraged Hill.
Hill defended very hard, and it was unrealistic to expect him to misplace and defend Harden.
The Lakers attack again, and Hill gave the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Continuous conducting ball.
Joe Harris was targeted by Harden and he couldn't get rid of him.
The Rockets' defense is a 3-2 zone defense, with the focus being on limiting the Lakers' outside perimeter.
Tucker stood in the bottom corner, with only one Hill inside, and Hill didn't pose much of a threat.
The ball returned to Zhao Chen's hands at 10 seconds.
Zhao Chen signaled Joe Harris on the right to take the person away.
Space opens up.

Beverly's defense seemed to hit Zhao Chen's face.
but!
Basketball creates a rainbow! !
"Uh-huh!"
