Chapter 357 Leading
With power forward Kevin Garnett, scoring guard Ryu Jung, and point guard Chauncey Billups as the cornerstones, coupled with a running and jumping center with outstanding athletic ability, and a small forward who can shoot, pass and defend, the strongest basketball team in history will be formed in turn. However, there is no doubt that whether it is a run-and-jump center with outstanding athletic ability or a small forward who can shoot, pass and defend, it is impossible to meet and not find, and the Rockets can only move forward step by step.www.biquge.info
Because although Olajuwon is capable, he is thirty-one years old after all, and he will soon pass the peak of his career, and the Rockets also need to start looking for a successor for Olajuwon.
The new Rockets can not only play steadily on offense and defense, but also quickly rotate for running and shooting, and are determined to surpass the Chicago Bulls' triangular offensive system and become an unsolvable presence in the NBA.
Compared to the Chicago Bulls, the current Houston Rockets rely more on the individual abilities of their players.
Center Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, and scoring guard Ryu Jung are the team's three strong points.
Kevin Garnett and Chauncey Billups, who have already been signed, are a power forward and a point guard.
Overall, the Rockets need a center as a rotation player for Olajuwon, and one or two shooting guards or small forwards as the team's new scoring point after the break.
Among the four two-way guard Allen Iverson, shooting guard Ray Allen, center Tim Duncan, and point guard Jason Williams, the Rockets are all aiming for two-way guard Allen Iverson, shooting guard Ray Allen, and center Tim Duncan.
The Houston Rockets, who have two point guards at both rising star Chauncy Billups and veteran Kenny Smith, have a less strong desire to compete for point guard Jason Williams.
------
As time went on, it became clear who belonged to two-way guard Allen Iverson, shooting guard Ray Allen, center Tim Duncan, and point guard Jason Williams.
Among them, point guard Jason Williams belongs to the Chicago Bulls, which is already a sure thing; There is no doubt that two-way guard Allen Iverson and shooting guard Ray Allen belong to the Houston Rockets, and the Chicago Bulls will not compete with them.
Now, the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls are in the middle of the battle with center Tim Duncan. Both teams are desperate to take him in as the team's central striker or prospective central striker.
------
In the race for center Tim Duncan, both teams have their own strengths and weaknesses.
First of all, the Chicago Bulls lacked a center forward, and Tim Duncan quickly became a regular when he arrived. The Houston Rockets are different, center Olajuwon is still the leader of the team, even if Long Zheng wants to replace Olajuwon as the leader, it will take countless efforts; Tim Duncan came to the Rockets and could only be used as a backup for Olajuwon, and it was impossible to become the main starter in two or three years.
In addition, with the retirement of Michael Jordan in peak form, the salary space of the Chicago Bulls suddenly became vacant, and Tim Duncan received more salary for entering the Chicago Bulls than he received for entering the Houston Rockets.
There are pros and cons, and judging from the development of the two teams, the Houston Rockets are obviously stronger than the Chicago Bulls.
The Houston Rockets and the Chicago Bulls both belong to the property of the Dragons, because the Dragons are now playing for the Houston Rockets, and Tim Duncan and others believe that the Houston Rockets will get more investment than the Chicago Bulls.
Of course, both teams are doing their best in this contest, and the real decision is in the hands of Tim Duncan.
------
The timeout ends and the game continues.
After a timeout, Clyde Drexler has readjusted his mentality.
In this attack of the Trail Blazers, Clyde Drexler asked for the ball directly from his teammates, and after receiving the ball, he held the ball and singled Long Zheng, as if the loss just now had not happened.
The difference between a superstar and an average player is that a superstar is strong when he is strong, and an average player is abnormal when he meets a strong player, and Clyde Drexler undoubtedly belongs to the former.
Even if he maintained the peak state of the gods at all times, Long Zheng was still deceived by Clyde Drexler's realistic fake sudden real throws.
Taking a step back, Ryuzheng tried to block Clyde Drexler's breakthrough, but he didn't expect Clyde Drexler to take advantage of his retreat to make an unbelievable pull-up jumper.
Clyde Drexler's shot was so sudden that Ryuzheng was completely deceived by it, and he could only watch Clyde Drexler rise higher and higher in front of him, and throw the basketball in his hand as he reached the highest point.
There was a hunch that Clyde Drexler's long-range shot would not be able to make it. Long Zheng looked back and saw the basketball fly through the air, smashing straight on the basket and flying out.
Clyde Drexler's missed shot was unexpected, but it made sense. The pull-up jump shot itself is very difficult, and it is said that in the face of Long Zheng's tight defense, it is still an unadjusted long-range shot outside the three-point line. This shot, even if Michael Jordan shoots it himself, can't be shot, let alone Clyde Drexler.
"Rebounding!"
Seeing that the opponent's shot didn't go in, Long Zheng shouted. At the same time, Long Zheng did not hesitate to turn around and run hard in the direction where the rebound flew away, struggling to grab the rebound.
Whether there is a heart or not, the first rebound after the start of the game, the players of the two teams competed fiercely. Where the basketball landed, Robert Horry and Buck Williams jumped up at the same time, fighting for the basketball in mid-air.
The two interfered with each other, and the basketball in mid-air was pushed aside by the two. It was too late, that was too fast, and in the midst of the suspicious gazes of the two, Long Zheng struck out from the ground diagonally, and ran -- jumped -- grabbed the basketball in mid-air.
Grabbing the basketball in mid-air, Long Zheng's mind was extremely calm. With a swipe of his right hand, the basketball flew straight toward point guard Kenny Smith.
After landing on the ground, Long Zheng's eyes swept to see point guard Kenny Smith firmly catching the basketball, and without saying a word, he started decisively and rushed towards the front court.
Seeing that Clyde Drexler had come to the halfway line in advance, opening his hands and putting on a defensive stance, ready to intercept himself, Long Zheng's eyes froze, and he accelerated again, rushing towards Clyde Drexler's position.
Running left and right, Ryu-jung, who was running without the ball, easily shook Clyde Drexler's defense, rushed out from his right side, and continued to rush towards the opponent's basket. Clyde Drexler, on the other hand, was delayed by the turnaround move, a full two positions behind Ryumasa, and followed closely behind Ryumasa.
At the free throw line, Ryu-jeong jumped up and flew towards the basket. When the ball arrived, in mid-air, Long Zheng steadily received a high-altitude pass from point guard Kenny Smith, and ended the battle with a two-handed dunk, leaving Clyde Drexler with a helpless face.
At 11:4, relying on the amazing play of Long Zheng, the Houston Rockets have led the Portland Trail Blazers by a full seven points. (To be continued.) )
