html The highly anticipated 22-23 season has finally begun. The Houston Rockets' opening game is to go to Atlanta to play against the Eastern Conference upstart Hawks . In fact, most of the time of the game, the Rockets' point difference is close to the opponent. In the final quarter, the Hawks suddenly began to exert force, widening the point difference, causing the Rockets to suffer their first defeat in the new season. It can only be said that there is a gap in strength between the two sides. In the Rockets' performance in the first game, I personally think they can score 70-80 points.

Especially in this game, the Rockets' starting lineup is also different from the outside world's predictions. Bruno Fernando , which was originally considered the third center, replaced Alperen Shenjing , appeared in the starting lineup. At least from this game, Bruno Fernando performed extremely well. Within 25 minutes, he scored 7 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks. We all know that Bruno Fernando is a blue-collar worker, so it is expected that the defense and rebounding are excellent. Unexpectedly, the young man's skills are quite delicate and he has a strong sense of shooting. His 7 assists were really amazing. Moreover, Bruno Fernando grabbed three frontcourt rebounds, which shows that the Rockets really need his fighting spirit and vitality.

24-year-old Bruno Fernando was the second round pick in 2019. At the beginning of his career, he played with the Boston Celtics at the Atlanta Hawks , but he had no performance. Until the deadline of last season, Bruno Fernando came to the Rockets as a bonus. In his limited playing time, Bruno Fernando became the surprise more than once, and even scored a double-double. By the time this summer, the Rockets decided to renew their contract with Bruno Fernando. At the beginning, both sides only signed a two-way contract. Everyone thought that Bruno Fernando could only be a temporary worker. Unexpectedly, the Rockets' management highly valued him. Before the start of the new season, the Rockets turned Bruno Fernando's contract into regular, and this move seemed a bit sudden. The new contract lasted for 4 years, and Bruno Fernando's salary this season is around 2.9 million US dollars.

No one expected that in the opening game, the Rockets directly arranged for Bruno Fernando to take the lead. The adjustment of head coach Steve Silas was really surprising, and from the perspective of the on-court effect, this change of the formation also received miraculous effects. Perhaps in Steve Silas's view, the first match against his old club will give Bruno Fernando more motivation, and the fact is true. Although the Rockets lost the game, Bruno Fernando proved himself in front of his old club. I hope that in the future games, Bruno Fernando can provide more surprises.
