Chapter 348: The Trailblazers
Long Zheng, Vernon Maxwell, Robert Horry, Otis Thorpe, Kenny Smith, Mario Eli, Carl Herrera, Scott Brooks, Matt Bullard, Chris Jant, ten of them are good at long-range shooting players, and there are only four substitute interior players Earl Clayton, Richard Petruska, Larry Robinson, and Eric Riley on the four-man list.

The Rockets, who rely on mid-to-long-range shooting and have a speed advantage, have no more suitable tactic than a run-and-gun strategy.
In order to hone in the new tactics, the Rockets conducted one half-court offensive and defensive drill after another that lasted 20 minutes without halftime.
Red: Center Otis Thorpe, power forward Robert Horry, small forward Ryu Jung, shooting guard Vernon Maxwell, point guard Kenny Smith. The red team lineup is also the main lineup of the Rockets, and putting Long Zheng in the small forward position further gives Long Zheng offensive freedom and enriches Long Zheng's offensive options.
BLU: Center Earl Crayton, power forward Matt Bullard, small forward Carl Herrera, shooting guard Scott Brooks, point guard Mario Elie.
The red team attacked, the blue team defended, and the first half-time offensive and defensive drills in the team began.
In the midst of continuous offensive and defensive drills, two days passed quickly.

On April 29, 1994, local time in the United States, the first playoff game between the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers kicked off at the Compaq Center Arena.
It is best to describe the Rockets' regular season record by opening high and going low.
After Olajuwon's injury, the Rockets' record fell off a cliff. Luckily, the teams behind the Rockets had a big hole in the ground, and although they fought back late in the regular season, the Rockets were able to squeeze out the Phoenix Suns by one win and finish second in the West.
At home, the Rockets did not stay strong and showed their best form.

Undoubtedly, the biggest attraction of this game is the confrontation between supernova Ryuzheng and veteran "******" Clyde Drexler, and the confrontation between the two has also whetted the audience's appetite under the overwhelming publicity from the outside world.
If Ryuzheng came to the small forward position to make way for projection shooting guard Vernon Maxwell, then Clyde Drexler played as a small forward instead of a shooting guard, completely to fight against Ryuzheng and deliberately swapped places with teammate Harvey Grant. (To be continued.) )
