Chapter 269 One to Ten and Ten to One
The fourth game between the Japanese men's basketball team and the Chicago Bulls was also televised on CBS Chicago and broadcast live in the United States. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In Houston, USA, in the villa of Hakim Olajuwon, many Rockets players gathered.
In addition to the main starting center Hakeem Olajuwon, the main starting power forward Otis Thorpe, the main starting small forward Mario Elie, and the main starting point guard Kenny Smith, the other players of the Rockets are also gathered here.
Two days later, on September 20, 1993, the Rockets' training camp was officially opened.
Many of the players who were on vacation, training, or participating in business events rushed back to Houston.
As the team's boss, Hakeem Olajuwon brought together a host of players who hadn't seen each other in a summer for a big party.
In addition to Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe, Mario Elie, and Kenny Smith, the party was attended by forward Robert Horry, who is known for his ability to play the key ball, Carl Herrera, backup center Richard Petusca, point guard Scott Brooks, and pure shooter power forward Matt Bullard.
If the arrival of Long Zheng has greatly increased the hopes of Hakim Olajuwon and the four to win the championship belong to the beneficiary, then Robert Horry and the five are the victims of Long Zheng joining the Rockets.
First up is Robert Horry and Matt Bullard, who are an important part of the Houston Rockets' perimeter shooter group with center Hakeem Olajuwon at the core.
After the arrival of Long Zheng, the interests of the two were the most damaged, because Long Zheng, as the main scoring guard, would take away the outside shooting rights of the two.
In the Rockets, the two have outstanding abilities, although they can't become the main starters, but they are also regular substitutes, and the two are not willing to be reduced to the team's fringe players.
It can be expected that once Long Zheng sits firmly in the main position, it will be the day when the two seek to leave the team.
Secondly, point guard Scott Brooks is also a loser.
In the Rockets' current roster, Kenny Smith and Scott Brooks alternate between the team's primary starting point guard and primary starting point guard.
Either Kenny Smith will be the main starting point guard, and Robert Horry, Matt Bullard, and Scott Brooks will compete for the main starting point guard.
Either Kenny Smith will be the main starting point guard and Scott Brooks will be the main starting point guard.
What everyone can predict is that after Long Zheng comes to the Rockets, he will definitely occupy the main starting point guard, and Kenny Smith will be suppressed on the main starting point guard.
Scott Brooks was completely reduced to a substitute, and the best ending was only as the team's "best sixth man", continuing to shine on the court.
Finally, Carl Herrera and Richard Petuska, two Rockets backup centers, will also be affected.
Since Olajuwon became the undisputed leader of the Rockets in the 1988-1989 season, the Houston Rockets have been a "one-core team" with center Hakeem Olajuwon as the core of offense and defense.
Whether it's offense, defense or even playmaking, Hakeem Olajuwon has a lot to do.
It is foreseeable that as Ryuzheng gradually integrates into the team, Hakim Olajuwon will slowly be liberated, and the opponent's restrictions on him will be much reduced.
In such a situation, Hakim Olajuwon's time on the court will gradually increase, and the playing time of Carl Herrera and Richard Petusca, the two Rockets backup centers, will fall off a cliff.
It is the most appropriate to use it to describe the arrival of Long Zheng.
......
After a full meal, everyone gathered in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the game between the Japanese men's basketball team and the Bulls.
As Long Zheng scored the ninth three, everyone looked at each other thoughtfully.
"How do you have the rush to watch the All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest,"
Hakim Olajuwon said in a strange tone: "However, this is much more exciting than the three-point contest, and whoever misses first will lose." ”
On the TV screen, the three-point test between Ryuzheng and Tony Kukoc continued. At this point, it was already the fifteenth goal.
“Oh,MyGod!” The narrator's excited voice was heard on the TV.
"Tony Kukoc's fifteenth goal, goal in!"
"Ryu-jung's fifteenth goal, again, the ball scores!"
......
Looking at the two of Long Zheng on the TV screen, everyone was extremely shocked.
"Say,"
Otis Thorpe wondered, "This is the seventh shot at the three-point line in the NBA, right?" ”
"Well, not only is it accurate, it's fast," Mario Elli exclaimed.
"But how can Tony Kukoc have such a high shooting percentage?"
Hakeem Olajuwon said enviously: "No wonder the outside world says that every European player who enters the NBA is a marksman. ”
"Everyone, I'm going to sit in the bank, let's bet on who will win the three-point shooting between Long Zheng and Tony Kukoc."
Kenny Smith said slyly: "Buy Longzheng to win 10 to 1, buy Tony Kukochi to win 1 to 10." ”
"Everyone has to buy it, at least $10,000, up to $100,000."
Facing everyone, Kenny Smith's face turned grim.
......
Nima, you're too ruthless, aren't you?
Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe, and Mario Elie looked at each other and complained infinitely about Kenny Smith's cunning.
Two days ago (September 16), Robert Horry, Carl Herrera, Richard Petusca, Scott Brooks, and Matt Bullard had not returned to Houston, and certainly did not see the third game between the Japanese men's basketball team and the Chicago Bulls.
They didn't see that Hakim Olajuwon was watching the whole game. For Long Zheng's shooting percentage, the four already have a clear understanding.
Throughout the game, Long Zheng did not waste a single opportunity to shoot three-pointers.
You must know that those shots were all shot in a very short period of time when they got the space, and some shots were even forced to hit by Long Zheng when he lost his shooting rhythm.
In the case of Jordan and Pippen, Long Zheng can have a terrifying long-range shooting rate, not to mention that now that there is no one to defend, Long Zheng can adjust his condition and then make a shooting action.
The asymmetry of information has left Robert Horry, Carl Herrera, Richard Petusca, Scott Brooks, and Matt Bullard in an extremely unfavorable situation when choosing who to win.
......
As an insider, Otis Thorpe was about to speak, but Kenny Smith secretly glanced at the three of them, not giving them a chance to speak.
"I'll pay $10,000 to buy Longzheng and win."
Hakim Olajuwon spoke first. If you buy Longzheng to win ten to one, that's also a thousand dollars, isn't it.
"I also paid $10,000 to buy Longzheng to win." Otis Thorpe followed.
A thousand dollars, a windfall. Otis Thorpe was overjoyed.
"I'll pay $10,000 for Tony Kukoc to win."
Quietly glancing at Kenny Smith, Mario Eri said quietly: "Buy $10,000, according to the odds of 10 to 10, but you can make 100,000 dollars." (To be continued.) )
