Chapter 45

The Houston Rockets, the former championship team, have one of the league's four major centers Olajuwon and the legendary Charles Barkley composed of a luxury interior line, a strong interior strength just restrained the Clippers' style of play, in the first meeting between the two teams, the Rockets defeated the Clippers with a strong interior line, and the team's rookies Francis and Catino Mobley also slowly grew up, provoking the banner of the new generation of the Rockets.

Before the start of the game, Coach Bill Fitch of the Clippers decisively took down Rodman and arranged for Tiger and Ginobili to appear in the starting lineup at the same time, this lineup is lower in height but faster, and the young Clippers players gave up defense and interior confrontation from the beginning of the game, and completely used fast offense to impact the Rockets' defense.

Charles Barkley, the legendary player of the NBA, this game, the best player of the Rockets, and the most eager player for victory in the Rockets, Barkley's offense was also a bug in his peak, the NBA league once formulated the Barkley rules for him, but he was middle-aged, but he was still working hard for the championship, in 98 Barkley left the Suns and came to the Rockets, but the results disappointed him, Olajuwon is old, the Rockets are twilight, and the league has entered a new chapter, Barkley's championship dream is getting farther and farther away from him.

In the face of the impact of the Clippers, the aging Rockets still had physical problems after resisting for three quarters, and finally lost, losing to the Clippers by 6 points at 110-116. The Rockets are in an awkward position right now, with a bad record and no point in swinging, because they traded their first-round pick for next season before the season began, and the Rockets, who had Olajuwon and Charles Barkley at the time, could not have imagined that the current situation would occur, and perhaps the rebuilding was their only destination.

After the victory over the Rockets, the Clippers' record reached 19-7, ranked third in the West, and the Jazz in fourth place were 19-8, and the Clippers had one more win than the Jazz.

The Mavericks' German Dek Nowitzki has been even better this season, With an average of 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, he still became the No. 2 person in the Mavericks, Michael Finley, as the boss of the Mavericks, contributed an average of 22.6 points per game, the rising star of the league, and his performance is still eye-catching, Stephen Nash, who was traded from the Suns, is still unknown, averaging 8.6 points per game and 4.9 assists.

The Jazz won the game that started earlier, and the Clippers have tied the game with the Clippers, the Clippers don't want to lose the 3rd place in the West, they must win the game against the Mavericks, after Christmas, each team has shown a different strength from before, and the Clippers want to stay in the top 8 in the West after all the games in the second phase, they must get more wins on teams with similar strength.

After the start of the game, the Clippers attacked the inside, after the game between Jermaine O'Neal and the Trail Blazers, it seemed that the whole person had opened up, and the performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was more resolute.

Before Christmas, the Clippers completed the Jason Green trade, although everyone is not optimistic about the deal, but Rodman understands the significance of Jason Green to the Clippers better than others, Tiger not long ago, specifically asked him to give Jason Green some special training when time permits, Rodman's career has achieved a lot of honors, he is 38 years old, he has won championships in the Pistons and Bulls, but this year's days in the Clippers, but let him live the happiest, now he, What we have to do is to help Jermaine O'Neal grow up as soon as possible, and maybe when Jason Green returns, it's time for him to retire. So now when it's time to play, Rodman is doing support work next to Jermaine O'Neal.

The game between the Clippers and the Mavericks was very dull, the Mavericks insisted on their fast offense, but lacked a good passer, and offensive points, the Clippers suppressed the rhythm of the game, and Jermaine O'Neal attacked inside, and finally the Clippers were superior and defeated the Mavericks 122-117 on the road, and now the Mavericks' strength can't cause too much trouble to the Clippers, maybe when the old Nelson coach develops Stephen Nash's energy thoroughly, the Mavericks can really play the essence of small-ball tactics.

After the game, at the strong request of the Clippers players, Coach Bill Fitch took the Clippers on the plane again and headed to their destination for the next game, Atlanta, Georgia, where the Tiger dream began! The Clippers will embark on their Eastern Conference road trip.

Atlanta is located in the southeast of the United States, is the largest city in Georgia, but also the transportation hub of the entire South, Atlanta symbolizes the prosperity of the United States' economy, advanced society, high-rise buildings, museums, opera houses, many of his industries in the world are first-class, here is the hometown of the Wind, here is the hometown of Martin Luther King, Jr., and there is a place that many NBA players are very fond of, the Gold Club.

On the plane to Atlanta, the players of the Clippers did not sleep, and began to discuss the activities after arriving in Atlanta, they proposed to Coach Bill Fitch to go to Atlanta a day earlier, in order to stay in Atlanta for some time, and as an Atlanta-born native, Tiger did not participate in the discussion, he was quiet and in a daze, he still clearly remembered the scene of coming to Atlanta with the Clippers last year, the Phillip Arena, which can accommodate 20,000 people, was empty, Not a single Atlanta fan showed up, and they resisted the Clippers with their actions, so what will happen this year?

As an Atlantan, Tiger has a deep affection for Atlanta, and the people here love Tiger just as much, which was shown when the Clippers showed up at the airport.
