"Protect yourself?" Looking at his companions, Hakim Olajuwong said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, everyone, I am not a glass man, and I will not be injured so easily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Despite Olajuwon's words, it still couldn't dispel the concerns of Otis Thorpe, Robert Horry, Mario Eli, and Kenny Smith.

You know, except for the big away win over the Los Angeles Lakers, because Long Zheng served as the team's main attacker and successfully attracted the attention of the opponent, Olajuwon played very easily. In the regular season of the 1993-94 season, Olajuwon has played almost every game, and as the absolute core of the Rockets, he has been targeted by opponents.

Competitive basketball is highly confrontational, and the probability of players getting injured is not low. Not to mention the NBA, the world's No. 1 professional basketball league with a high level of confrontation and high tempo.

Olajuwon, like an overloaded truck traveling at high speed, is a high-risk group for accidents. The probability of injury on the field is several times higher than usual.

If Long Zheng is here now, he and Olajuwon will be inside and outside, and the burden on Olajuwon's body will be lifted in an instant, and he can also adjust his overloaded body through rotation. -- Otis Thorpe, Robert Horry, Mario Eli, and Kenny Smith looked at each other, and this thought flashed through their hearts.

Thinking about the game on the third night, Otis Thorpe, Robert Horry, Mario Elie, and Kenny Smith couldn't help but hope that the Rockets could play like this in the future.

With the help of Olajuwon's cover, Ryu-jung scored wildly on the outside; After Long Zheng was defended by the opponent, the other players on the field got a good opportunity to attack, helping the team to open up new offensive firepower, echoing with Optimus Prime Olajuwon on the inside, constantly impacting the opponent's defense.

......

In the constant exchange between the five of Olajuwon, the pre-match warm-up ended quickly.

With the referee on duty, the sixtieth regular season game of the Rockets 1993-94 season officially kicked off at the Cleveland Quick Loan Arena.

The two teams battled for the ball, and Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon took the basketball back to his own half with a huge advantage, and point guard Kenny Smith took the lead to steal the basketball.

Dribbling the ball through half court with ease, Kenny Smith protected the ball and kept possession while waiting for his teammates to get into position.

With Kenny Smith deliberately suppressing the pace of the game, the two teams were locked in a positional battle.

The Rockets, who are good at positional warfare, have an excellent interior scorer Olajuwon when attacking, as well as a number of outside scorers including Robert Horry, Mario Elie, and Kenny Smith.

Needless to say, the Rockets' offensive and defensive core is Olajuwon, a player who is highly skilled on both ends of the floor.

Defensively, Olajuwon has a rare combination of speed and power, which allows him to cover the entire half from the inside out, and he is also known for his excellent blocking ability, as well as his rare stealing ability as an interior player.

Olajuwon is the only player in NBA history to have 200+ blocks and 200+ steals in a single season, averaging 3.09 blocks and 1.75 steals per game in his career. Olajuwon is also the only center to rank in the top 10 of the league's steals list, and he is also an excellent rebounder, averaging 11.1 career rebounds per game.

Offensively, Olajuwon is known for his excellent shooting touch, and in the low post he is a man of great footwork. When attacking with the ball, Olajuwon showed his versatile feints and turning skills, especially his "fantasy dance moves". In addition, Olajuwon can also hold the ball and score on the basket like an outside player, and has skillful dribbling and ball control skills. Olajuwon is one of only four players in league history to have played a "quadruple-double."

In order to give full play to Olajuwon's individual ability and offensive and defensive characteristics, the Rockets tailored a positional battle style for him. By now, the people have applied positional warfare to perfection.

Under the rebound, Olajuwon leaned on Cavaliers center John Williams and asked for the ball in the low post. After receiving a pass from a teammate, Olajuwon made a series of feints to let John Williams, who was defending him, lay the ball on the spot. With a beautiful turn, Olajuwon performed a dream dance move and successfully shook off John Williams and hit a shot under the basket. 2:0, Olajuwon showed unparalleled dominance under the basket, helping the Rockets take the lead and score first. Without the main center and the main power forward, the Cavaliers' interior line is like a paper wall in front of Olajuwon.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the Rockets defended.

Starting small forward Rod Higgins got the ball into the box and was about to shoot after getting rid of Robert Horry's pursuit, but was firmly capped by Olajuwon, who suddenly arrived.

After Olajuwon's block, Kenny Smith got a basketball and launched a fast break. In the face of Mark Price's close interference, Kenny Smith made a thrilling layup and scored the ball. 4:0, with the excellent play of Olajuwon, the opening of the Rockets was very dreamy.

In the Rockets' dugout, head coach Rudy Tomjanovic couldn't stop nodding in agreement when he saw the excellent performance of the players, and was very satisfied with the performance of the players on the court.

The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck.

In the seventh minute of the game, Olajuwon suddenly fell to the ground while scrambling for a rebound. Covering his tendons, Olajuwon's face turned pale, and beads of sweat on his face instantly covered his face.

"It's over!" The Rockets' worst fears came true, with Olajuwon suffering an injury.

Seeing this, head coach Rudy Tomjanovic was terrified and rushed to the field with his teammates and staff.

After a brief treatment, the crowd helped Olajuwon, who was grinning and in pain, off the field.

With the introduction of substitute centre-forward Carl Herrera, the game continued, while Olajuwon remained on the field for treatment.

In an extremely depressing atmosphere, the team doctor informed everyone of the preliminary diagnosis report of Olajuwon's injury -- a torn Achilles tendon, which was directly reimbursed this season.

"Season reimbursement?" Like a thunderbolt from the sky, hearing this news, the hearts of everyone on Team Rocket instantly lost their minds. The person concerned, Olajuwon, had even more hollow eyes, and he couldn't even feel the sharp pain coming from his feet.

"I'm sorry, I can't play for the team's first championship with everyone."

Sweeping his gaze over the crowd, Olajuwon stared at head coach Rudy Tomjanovic and said firmly: "Even though my season has been reinvented, the Rockets are still a strong contender for the championship because we have the Dragons. (To be continued.) )
