Chapter 354: The first pause

Seeing that the situation on the court was not right, Trail Blazers head coach Rick Adelman quickly called a timeout. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is one thing to help the players stabilize their mentality, but more importantly, it is to hope that this timeout will extinguish the hot state and excellent hand of Long Zheng.

No one else can see Clyde Drexler's spying step just now, but Trail Blazers head coach Rick Adelman can see it clearly.

With a score of 9-4 on the field, as the absolute core of both teams, Clyde Drexler is undoubtedly at a disadvantage compared to Long Zheng.

In the arena of the Combo Center, the Trail Blazers coach's seat.

"Clyde, do you need someone to help you?"

Because of his good personal relationship with Clyde Drexler, head coach Rick Adelman didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Of course, head coach Rick Adelman's help is divided into two areas, offense and defense.

Clyde Drexler knows the hidden meaning of head coach Rick Adelman's words, and the coach wants to put down his posture, unite with his teammates when defending, and break through Long Zheng with his teammates to get a chance to attack with the help of his teammates' blocking and dismantling cover.

After thinking for a long time, Clyde Drexler shook his head firmly, refusing his teammate's help.

In the battle with Ryumasa for the "first quarterback", Clyde Drexler was unwilling to surrender at the beginning, giving up the throne of the "first quarterback" and watching Ryuzheng ascend to the throne of the "first quarterback".

entered the NBA at the same time as Michael Jordan, but Clyde Drexler has been living in the shadow of Michael Jordan.

Probably suppressed by Michael Jordan for too long, Clyde Drexler cherishes the title of "No. 1 quarterback". Without a championship ring, the title of "First Quarterback" is the most important honor in Clyde Drexler's heart. Clyde Drexler would not be reconciled if he didn't let go and fight for it.

Compared to the depression in the Trail Blazers' coach's box, the Rockets' coach's bench is much more relaxed.

With the loss of Olajuwon, the Rockets' defensive ability showed a precipitous decline, and they had to abandon the team's defense, deliberately speed up the pace of the game, and fight against the opponent through running and bombing. Since I can't stop you, let's see who scores the most points.

Run-and-gun play, which is an area that the Rockets have rarely touched on before. Unexpectedly, Long Zheng inadvertently gave everyone a big surprise, three three-point shots, three shots, Long Zheng's hand felt hot today, and what surprised everyone even more was that after the media hype and hype, this game was forced to add the gimmick of Long Zheng and Clyde Drexler competing for the "first quarterback".

In this way, a well-known veteran and a determined newcomer need to fight fiercely in order to compete for the "first quarterback", and the two who are the absolute core of their respective teams will also receive all-round support and cooperation from their respective teammates and even get unlimited firing rights.

Against this backdrop, the better the form and hotter of the two of Ryuzheng and Clyde Drexler, the more likely their team will win.

There is no doubt that in the opening stage of this game, Long Zheng's touch and condition are far ahead of Clyde Drexler, which is a good start for the Rockets in this game.

In the audience, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups looked at the Rockets' coach's seat and couldn't help but smile.

Through the opening few rounds of offense and defense, the two also saw that in the current Rocket team, Long Zheng has become the absolute offensive and defensive core, and if they want to gain a foothold in the Rocket team, they can only follow Long Zheng closely and deliver shells to Long Zheng.

In order to better play the advantages of Long Zheng, the Rocket team changed its tactics from a steady offensive and defensive battle to a run-and-bomb tactic with a very fast transition between offense and defense. Precisely, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups are the best at running and shooting.

It can be said that Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups, who are athletic and good at passing, are a perfect match for the current Rockets.

Upon discovering this, the apprehension in the hearts of Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups quickly dissipated, and they only felt that their future careers were bright.

Taking a step back, even if Olajuwon returns from injury next season and the Rockets return to positional play, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups will also have their own foothold in the Rockets.

The two can cooperate with Ryu-jung to use a crazy run-and-gun style during the time when Olajuwon is off the court and become regular rotation players for the Rockets.

Chauncey Billups was born on September 25, 1976 in Denver, Colorado, USA, Kevin Garnett was born on May 19, 1976 in South Carolina, USA, and Ryumasa was born on November 15, 1978 in Kanagawa, Japan.

Whether they are professional basketball players or quasi-professional basketball players, the talent of the three teenagers in basketball is enviable and amazing. Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups are already looking forward to next season, and the three of them will be teammates and appear together on the NBA stage.

After the timeout ended, the players of both teams returned to the field one after another, and the game was about to resume.

Since there are players who shine on the court, there must also be players who are sluggish and lost.

Looking at Long Zheng's back, Olajuwon, who was sitting on the bench, had all kinds of feelings in his heart. At this moment, Olajuwon, who has a torn Achilles tendon and is out for the season, can only sit on the bench as a spectator and cheer on his teammates.

Looking at the Rockets players on the field, Olajuwon suddenly felt very unfamiliar. Is this still the Rocket team led by himself, the defense is weak and the offense is extremely strong, which is completely opposite to the original Rocket team.

Olajuwon was born on January 21, 1963 in Lagos, Nigeria, and is now a 31-year-old veteran. As the team's spiritual leaders, Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups signed professional contracts with the Rockets as high school players to become non-draft players for the Rockets, and Olajuwon knows about it.

When the two first came to the team for a tryout, Olajuwon also played against Kevin Garnett himself, and Olajuwon was very clear about the strength of the two.

The current Rockets, except for themselves, Long Zheng and power forward Otis Thorpe, other players have not suppressed the strength of Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups. (To be continued.) )
