Ginobili slowly walked onto the court, and all the fans at the scene turned their attention to him.

As a rookie that the Rockets acquired in exchange for superstar player Mobley, he will naturally attract everyone's attention.

"He's the rookie the team brought back with Mobley?! Can he do it?!" a Rockets fan on the sidelines asked hesitantly.

"I heard that this rookie is playing very well in European competitions. It should be... not bad..." Another Rockets fan on the side said with a hint of doubt.

"Should?! Come on! Mobley is a star-level player! He has won the Sixth Man of the Year award! Can this rookie compare to him?! Isn't it okay for many players who have performed well in Europe to come to the NBA?

! If you ask me, this Ginobili will definitely not work! Dawson just got lucky and made a good trade." The Rockets fan who spoke first said through gritted teeth.

After what he said, the surrounding Rockets fans were no longer optimistic about Ginobili.

After all, they know very well what kind of general manager Dawson is.

It was bad luck to trade Posey for Shane Battier.

How is it possible to make two good deals in a row?!

Is that still Dawson?!

For a moment, the mood of the Rockets fans in the Toyota Center gradually became a little depressed.

The starting lineup was a few points behind, and the bench was led by a rookie.

Anyone who looks at it probably won't think that the Rockets' bench can perform well.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and substitute center Kevin Cato passed the basketball to Ginobili.

Ginobili held the ball and pushed forward, feeling faintly excited.

He has been playing in Europe for several years, and today he finally stepped onto the NBA court!

Responsible for guarding Ginobili is Mavericks backup point guard Van Exel.

Van Exel was a second-round pick in 1993. The most glorious moment of his career was when he was selected to the All-Star bench. He was a point guard with a strong assist ability.

Facing such a player, Ginobili didn't feel any timidity, but rather a little excited.

The stronger the enemy, the more his strength can be reflected.

Ginobili has been holding back his anger and wants to prove it to everyone in the league.

Although Ginobili is a rookie, he is definitely no worse than Mobley!

He is a player recognized by Han Ning. Like Yao, Francis and others, he is a top star who can leave a mark in the league in the future!

Holding the ball to face Van Exel, Ginobili dribbled with his left hand as if preparing to break through to the left, attracting Van Exel's body center of gravity to tilt to the left, and then quickly dribbled the ball behind his back with his left hand, and with his right hand

Hold the ball and sprint to the right.

When Van Exel saw this scene, his expression suddenly became much more solemn, and he hurriedly turned around and chased after him.

From this simple behind-the-back dribbling, he can see that Ginobili's starting speed is quite fast and his dribbling skills are also very solid.

However, just when Van Exel was about to catch up with Ginobili, he suddenly found that he had lost track of him.

After Ginobi used his peripheral vision to see Van Exel catching up, he did not choose to continue to break inside. Instead, he did not hesitate to use a step back to outside the three-point line, and then started shooting.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

A clean three-pointer!

Van Exel, who was guarding him, didn't even have time to follow up and block the shot!

In an instant, the entire Toyota Center stadium was detonated.

This rookie player, who was originally not optimistic about them, hit such a beautiful three-pointer as soon as he came on the court!

He was guarded by the former All-Star Van Exel!

The score came to 23 to 21, and the Rockets were only two points behind!

A smile appeared on Ginobili's face, and then he quickly retreated.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. Van Exel came to the frontcourt with the ball and looked at Ginobili with some excitement in his eyes.

Although Van Exel is very capable of assisting, he also has a more widely circulated nickname, known as "Crazy Van!"

A nickname that can be related to the word "crazy", you don't need to think about it to know what Van Exel's playing style is like.

Facing Ginobili's defense, Van Exel didn't hesitate at all and started to accelerate directly, trying to break through from the left side of Ginobili's body.

Ginobili saw this and rushed over.

However, Van Exel had just rushed half a step in front of the three-point line when he suddenly jumped up and threw the basketball.

Even if Ginobili reacted and blocked the shot, it had no impact on Van Exel's shooting action.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

A three-pointer was scored, and the score difference reached 5 points again.

Obviously, the strength of Van Exel, who has been selected to the All-Star team, cannot be underestimated.

"Have you seen Smith? Have you seen it? This is the strength of the Mavericks!" Barkley sat in the commentary box and excitedly pounded the table and shouted.

The offense and defense switched again. Ginobili was not hit by Van Exel's goal just now, and his eyes were still full of determination.

Holding the ball and reaching the top of the arc, Ginobili took a look at the situation on the court, and then gestured towards Kevin Cato, gesturing for him to come up and help with the pick-and-roll.

After Han Ning talked with Kevin Cato, he no longer had any dissatisfaction with being a substitute.

Especially after Han Ning kept his word and ensured that he and Dayao played very close playing time, he was able to give his best in terms of teamwork.

Even if the rookie who just joined the team called a pick-and-roll, he ran over without any complaints.

With the help of Kevin Cato's pick-and-roll, Ginobili moved to the left.

Van Exel was blocked by Kevin Cato and had no time to catch up with the defense.

Mavericks backup center Sean Bradley, who was originally responsible for guarding Kevin Cato, was ready to complete the switch and take over to guard Ginobili.

Ginobili moved two steps to the left, and Sean Bradley rushed to the left.

As a center player, defensive point guard players must find ways to increase their movement speed.

However, his move left a gap for Ginobili.

Ginobili suddenly turned around, slapped the basketball forward with his left hand, and rushed through the gap between Sean Bradley and Kevin Cato.

The extremely explosive Ginobili directly left Sean Bradley behind.

Mavericks backup power forward Eduardo Najera, who was protecting the basket, rushed over to help defend.

Ginobili's eyes lit up and he used his signature European step to shake Eduardo Najera away and rushed to the basket for a layup.

"Bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Two points scored!

Ginobili beat three Mavericks players and scored!
Chapter completed!
