On the other hand, the visiting Houston Rockets are strong and strong, and there are no injuries in the team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Starting the season with a 15-game winning streak and winning 22 of the first 24 games, the Houston Rockets are a strong contender for this year's championship.

Although the Rockets began to show fatigue in the second half of the season, as long as the head coach of the Rockets can adjust the condition of the players, he can immediately get the team back on his feet. This is still the situation where Yongzheng did not participate in the team's game, and Hakeem Olajuwon independently supported the Rockets forward.

Once Long Zheng returns to the team, I am afraid that none of the more than 20 teams in the NBA will be willing to face the current Rockets. And now, the leaderless Lakers are about to be forced to face the peak Rockets after the return of the Dragons.

................

Away to the Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Rockets have a full lineup.

Manager: Rudy Tomjanovic;

Starting center: Hakeem Olajuwon, starting power forward: Otis Thorpe, starting small forward: Mario Elie, starting point guard: Long Zheng, starting point guard: Kenny Smith;

Off-court subs: center Carl Herrera, center Richard Petusca, pure shooter power forward Matt Bullard, forward Robert Horry, point guard Scott Brooks......

Out of the importance of Long Zheng, Rudy Tomjanovic did not let him come off the bench because Long Zheng had not played for more than half a year, but directly positioned him as the outside core, echoing the inner core Hakim Olajuwon.

In the NBA at this time, Hakim Olajuwon was known as the top five centers along with Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Dikenbe Mutombo.

Invincible in singles and sharp in passing, the five of them developed the center to the peak, and other interior players could only be completely blown up in the face of them.

The first quarter of the game began, and players from both sides fought for the ball. Center Hakeem Olajuwon easily suppressed the Lakers center and turned the ball back into his own half, and the Rockets won the ball and attacked first.

Point guard Kenny Smith advanced to the front court with the ball, and the two sides entered a positional battle.

If you ask the Houston Rockets what they have always been best at, it is undoubtedly positional warfare.

Hakeem Olajuwon as the inside scorer, Yongzheng as the outside scorer, Kenny Smith with the ball, Otis Thorpe and Mario Elie run without the ball and look for opportunities. The division of labor between the five players on the court of the Rockets is very clear.

Afraid of Long Zheng's ultra-long-distance projection ability, the Lakers scoring guard against Long Zheng decisively adjusted his defensive strategy, and prevented shooting but not penetration.

Since you let go of my breakthrough, then you're welcome.

The audience only saw that after receiving a pass from Kenny Smith, Long Zheng faked a real shot and easily passed the stunned Lakers scoring guard and went to the restricted area.

In the restricted area, in the face of the ferocious pounce of the Lakers power forward, Long Zheng's visually stunning "European step" successfully shook off the Lakers power forward to the basket.

With the help of Hakim Olajuwon to block the opponent's center's fill, Long Jung, who hit the basket, easily scored the ball with an unguarded layup.

2:0, the Rockets led by two points. No one could have imagined that the first goal of the game would be Ryu-jeong's breakthrough layup.

Even Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic had a stunned look on his face. Several games between the Chicago Bulls and the Japanese men's basketball team were watched by Rudy Tomjanovich. In those few games, Long Zheng almost never used the offensive method of breaking through the layup.

In fact, the reason why everyone has such an idea is because of their preconceived ideas, and they are amazed by Long Zheng's ultra-long-distance projection ability. If the head coach or player of the Chicago Bulls were sitting here, they wouldn't be surprised. In the more than a month that Long Zheng has been training with the Bulls, he has shown them a strong ability to break through and attack.

................................

The Rockets scored, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

The defense is on the inside, and the offense is on the outside.

Outsiders may have doubts about whether the current Rockets' offense relies on the outside or the inside, because at this time, the Rockets already have both an outside core -- Long Zheng and an interior core -- Hakeem Olajuwon.

However, the core of the Rockets' defense must still be Hakim Olajuwon on the inside, which is the general perception of the outside world, and the Rockets' opponent today, the Lakers, also thinks so.

In order to avoid hitting the muzzle of Hakeem Olajuwon, the Lakers decided to put their first offense on the perimeter.

The point guard holds the ball to organize the offense, the scoring guard and small forward cross the outside line, the center and power forward are ready to pull out at any time, and the Los Angeles Lakers patiently look for scoring opportunities.

Suddenly, the Lakers point guard saw the shooting guard shake off Long Zheng and get an open opportunity. Without hesitation, the Lakers point guard threw the ball directly towards the shooting guard.

The court is changing rapidly, one moment it is still calm, the next second it is already turbulent.

Ryuzheng was really so easily thrown off by the Lakers' scoring guard and let him get an open opportunity, of course not!

This situation will occur, and it is a game that Long Zheng deliberately set up by taking advantage of the Lakers players not knowing themselves.

Maintain the moment of the gods and stay at the top of your game. Long Zheng had already started early before the Lakers point guard passed the ball and rushed towards the basketball passing route.

The audience only saw that the moment the Lakers' scoring guard was about to receive the ball, Long Zheng suddenly rushed out of him and cut the ball off in his horrified gaze.

The steal was successful, and Long Zheng decisively held the ball to launch a fast attack.

Three steps later, Long Zheng had already thrown off all the players on the field, and one person and one goal to the opponent's half.

Half a meter outside the three-point line, Long Zheng stopped abruptly, holding the ball with both hands, and Long Zheng jumped straight as soon as he adjusted.

In mid-air, Long Zheng faced the hot eyes of tens of thousands of people on the field and threw the basketball in his hand vigorously.

In a textbook shooting position, the basketball crossed a brilliant curve after leaving Long Zheng's hands, and fell to the center of the basket at a very high parabolic angle.

Hollow three points, Long Zheng helped the Rockets score another three points, and the score came to 5:0, with the Houston Rockets in front and the Los Angeles Lakers in the back.
