Chapter 349: Compaq Center
The referee on duty blew the whistle, and under the watchful eyes of 12,000 spectators at the Compaq Center Arena, Long Zheng's first NBA playoffs officially began. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two teams started with Otis Thorpe vs. Cleverd Robinson, Robert Horry vs. Buck Williams, Ryuzheng vs. Clyde Drexler, Vernon Maxwell vs. Harvey Grant, and Kenny Smith vs. Rod Strickland.
With the loss of Olajuwon, the Rockets lost their advantage in the scrum. Trail Blazers center Clifford Robinson pushed Otis Thorpe back into his own half, and point guard Rod Strickland quickly carried the ball to the opposing half.
Without Olajuwon and the inability to defend, the Rockets' interior defense intensity was greatly reduced, and Harvey Grant went directly to the bottom after receiving a pass from his teammates, and hit a layup against Otis Thorpe's block, and the ball went in.
0:2, the Trailblazers go down first.
The goal conceded in the opening game was expected by the five Longzheng people. After the Trail Blazers scored, the Rockets deliberately picked up the pace of the game and immediately launched a fast break.
Kenny Smith dribbles quickly into the front court, four seconds; In the midst of the player's advancement, with the help of Vernon Maxwell's blocking, Long Zheng got an empty position for a second; Receiving the ball in the open position, Long Zheng hit a three-point shot, two seconds. At 3:2, the Rockets led by one point.
From serve to point, the Rockets took a total of seven seconds to create an offensive frenzy in the Compaq Center arena.
------
Among the 12,000 spectators at the Compaq Centre Arena, there was a group of young faces, and that was the Oak Hill basketball team.
Steve Smith, Jack Gleason, Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, Stephen Marbury, Vince Carter, Paul Pearce, Jermaine O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Lamar Odom, Antoine Jamison, Steve Francis, Kenyon Martin, Sean Marion, Mike Bibby, Sean Battier, Elton Brand, Rasol Butler, Ron Artest, Josh Howard, Hu Xuefeng, Liu Wei, Yao Ming and Sakuragi Hanamichi, with the help of Long Zheng's relationship, all 25 members of the Oak Hill basketball team got tickets to the Rockets' playoffs.
The package is not valuable to the Rockets themselves, but it may cultivate the identification of Oak Hill players with the Rockets and lay a solid foundation for the Rockets to successfully sign them.
Long Zheng, but he is afraid of the NBA's draft system, and he himself suffered this loss before. Because of the sudden cut-off of the Rockets management, the longing Bulls could not join and were forced to sign with the Rockets.
In order to avoid such regrets from happening again, Ryuzheng plans to take advantage of the loopholes in the NBA draft system to sign a large number of players with unlimited potential in Oak Mountain as non-draft players.
Relying on the emotional offensive and extremely low brokerage fees, the players who went out of the Oak Hill basketball team were signed with the Rock Agency. Kevin Garnett, Chauncey Billups, and Antoine Jamison, four senior players, also signed with Rock Agency.
Under the matchmaking of Rock Agency, in addition to Antoine Jamison, who chose to go to college to join Noble University in Chicago, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups both signed professional contracts with the Rockets as high school players and became non-draft players of the Rockets.
If there is one of the 25 players on the Oak Hill basketball team, who is the most nervous and who values the game in front of him the most, it is undoubtedly Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups, the two "quasi-players" of the Rockets.
Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups will officially join the Rockets in two months, and whether they can fit into the team and have a place on the team has become something that the two are eager to know now.
Undoubtedly, the Rockets need to be on full fire against the Trail Blazers, and this is a great opportunity for the two to observe the Rockets' players and tactical system.

In the excellent position in the front row of the audience, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Presley, James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steven Spielberg and other superstars and celebrities "have their own halos" and become the focus of the audience and TV cameras.
After the amphitheater concert, Long Zheng and Michael Jackson formed a deep friendship, with the help of Michael Jackson's matchmaking and Universal Pictures' strong network for many years, Long Zheng successfully broke into the American western celebrity circle through Hollywood.
Because of the abundant funds and unparalleled development potential controlled by Long Zheng, a group of superstars and celebrities led by Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Presley, James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Steven Spielberg gradually united around Long Zheng, and the prototype of a mutual help organization has quietly formed.
Because of his good personal relationship, Long Zheng also gave Michael Jackson and others tickets to the Rockets playoffs and invited them to come and watch his game.

In the audience, somewhere in an inconspicuous position, three USCIS officers surrounded a middle-aged white man.
Looking at Long Zheng on the field, an inexplicable look flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged white man, full of appreciation.
The three USCIS officials knew the prominent identity of this middle-aged white man -- Stig Littez, President Clinton's chief economic adviser, professor of economics at Stanford University, and Nobel laureate in economics.
Immersed in the economic field for decades, Steig Littz has a high sense of economic trends, and he is the only one who sees the potential of Longzheng's industry.
In his report to President Clinton, Stig Littz boldly asserted that within 15 to 20 years, the Dragon government would build a giant business empire comparable to that of the Rothschilds. In order to tie it to the American tank, it was necessary to take the necessary measures. President Clinton attaches great importance to this report by Steig Lietz.
Stig Lietz's judgment that the future of the dragon government will be comparable to that of the Rothschilds, President Clinton does not believe it at all. As the richest man in the world in the dark, the assets under the control of the Rothschild family are incalculable, and they are far from being comparable to Long Zheng, the richest man in the world on the surface. However, this does not prevent President Clinton from deciding to take measures to tie Long Zheng to the chariot of the United States and form a community of interests with the United States.
