At halftime, in the Houston home lounge, several players of the Rockets were sitting together and talking in a low voice, coach Tomjanovic was there discussing tactics with the assistant coach, preparing to assign tasks to the players, when he suddenly heard a loud noise, turned his head and saw that it was Olajuwon who was sulking there and kicked the locker in the locker room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This kick caused a silence in the Rockets' locker room, and the Rockets looked at each other one by one, at a loss, in fact, in terms of the current records of the two sides, it is not easy for the Rockets to play like this with the Knicks.

Only Barkley and Tom Jakovic know what Olajuwon is annoyed with, now Olajuwon, with two championships in hand, the desire for the championship is not as strong as it used to be, although he is as eager to win as ever, but Tom Jakovic can see that Olajuwon is still eager for victory, but he is no longer so eager for it, at least not as eager as Ewing on the other side, in terms of desire for victory, Ewing may be the most exuberant of the three old guys, After all, he is the only one of the three centers who has not yet won the championship (in fact, at this time, there is no big four centers, but the four big insides, remove O'Neal, plus Carl Malone, because O'Neal only entered the league in 92, although he can already get 30+10 data in the second year, but in fact, his peak is separated from the other three, and when he entered the league, he was catching up with the peak of the three centers, and the four centers were completely added by our Chinese people later)

The two of them wanted to go up and comfort Olajuwon, but what did they say? When you were young, you could fight ten such guys? I'm afraid that Olajuwon will be even more angry, because it means that he is old.

Whether it's a man or a woman, maybe it doesn't matter if they say they're old, but if someone else says it, then I'm afraid they will turn their faces on the spot, not to mention that Olajuwon is such a strong person, he will never use age as an excuse.

Looking at Olajuwon like this, for some reason, Tom Jakovic felt sour in his heart, and he himself blurted out for some reason: "Hakim, how about you play the whole game in the second half?" ”

Everyone in the locker room was shocked, and looked at Tom Jakovic for some reason, as an inside player, it is rare to play more than 36 minutes in a game, that is generally in his twenties, and thirty years old is at the peak of his prime, just like Barkley played the full game back then, but now Olajuwon is nearly forty years old, and he has played fourteen minutes in the first half, and he has played in the second half, so he has to play thirty-eight minutes, which is unbearable for Olajuwon?

But Barkley's eyes flashed, thoughtful, but unfortunately, this is probably his last year, he can't overdraw his body, everything has to be prepared for the playoffs, even if the current Rockets are still far from the playoffs.

When Olajuwang heard this, the tiger's body was shocked (the spirit of the king was overflowing, and he knelt down ten thousand little brothers in an instant, and there was no rival in the alliance from now on), slowly raised his head, stared at the bloodshot eyes that were gradually crawling, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, Sir." ”

A simple word, but it was full of murderous intent by Olajuwon, and far away, Francis and Mobley felt a chill all around them.

The two glanced at each other and smiled bitterly, according to Tom Jakovic's arrangement, the two who played well in the first half were afraid to become foils in the second half, Mobley had a good shot and was better, but Francis's offense needed inside space, which was not easy to play, and the ball must be in the hands of Olajuwon.

After Tom Jakovic's set-up, the second half was back in flames.

If it was ten years ago, the game between the Knicks and the Rockets would not have been the one with the highest number of viewers as long as there was no Bulls, but nowadays, people prefer to watch Carter's dunk and Iverson's pass, maybe only those uncles in their forties will occasionally remember their lost youth.

But today, the TV station that broadcast the game between the Knicks and the Rockets found that all of a sudden, the ratings exploded, you know, there are a lot of games today, first the bull and horse battles, and then the Lakers game, as well as the Raptors' Carter, Maddie The two brothers teamed up against Reggie Miller, these games will be the most watched games today, but in the second half, suddenly the situation changed, and the ratings of the Knicks and the Rockets here are rising, unstoppable, even the director of the station heard the wind, he found, I may not have come in vain.

33 to 34, this scene was staged again at the Toyota Center, awakening the memories of many people, because of Olajuwon's outburst, Ewing also came to the interest, and the two started a wave of matchups, this time, even Van Gundy did not stop it, he was also there in the finals that year, he was Pat Riley's assistant coach.

Olajuwon and Ewing were a simple and intense matchup.

Ewing's singles ability is not as good as Olajuwon's, he is more of a strong player. Ewing holds the ball on the baseline, leans on his back to Olajuwon, and holds the ball with both hands on his side, away from his body, to prevent Olajuwon's sudden up-and-forth. Ewing kept shaking his shoulders, the two wrestled secretly, and after a second or two, Ewing suddenly withdrew the ball, leaned down, and made a heavy shoulder movement, Olajuwon knew that this was Ewing going to exert force.

Olajuwon's eyes narrowed, his center of gravity sank, and a pair of long arms were raised sideways, from top right to bottom left, sealing Ewing's route.

Ewing suddenly roared, exerted force under his feet, and rushed up directly, in terms of explosiveness, although his knee was injured early, Ewing is still the best one in the center, and bounce is not equal to explosion.

Ewing's first move got past Olajuwon, but Olajuwon seemed to have regained that defensive charm of the past, and he followed Ewing firmly behind the flank, and once Ewing made a move, a big hat awaited him.

Ewing also seemed to know what was going on behind him, and when he was close to the basket, his movements suddenly changed, and suddenly he was half-turned, grabbed the ball with both hands, and strode to the inside, which is one of Ewing's best offensive skills in the low post, and the horse archery after the turn.

Just as Ewing was on the right shot, Olajuwon suddenly accelerated, took two steps, and fanned the ball out in an almost volleyball-like fashion. Olajuwon, the majesty of the year.

When the Rockets came to the offensive end, people found that the big dream that people couldn't help but jump with seemed to have returned to the era of drunken dreams and deaths five years ago.

Olajuwon catches the ball, turns, pulls back, shakes, turns again, feints to shoot, half-turns, twitches again, returns to the original position, starts as if it were a feint, and then hooks the ball in.

During the whole process, Ewing didn't dare to move, just raised his hand high, he suppressed his habit, just didn't let himself jump, but Olajuwon didn't care about him at all, as long as Ewing moved with his movements, he would definitely show flaws, and sure enough, Ewing was shaken off a full position, and Olajuwon's hook hand easily hit.

But that's not enough, it's not enough, Olajuwon's eyes seem to be blazing, he wants to burn everything, everything he can see, whether it's opponents, teammates, or the fans in the stadium, he wants to burn.

Soon, there was no one sitting in the stadium, and people stood up, cheered, and couldn't help but jump and dance with every movement of Olajuwon.

Olajuwon attacked, two consecutive turns under the basket, Ewing gritted his teeth, stuck the position where Olajuwon might shoot, if it was hard, even if O'Neal came, Ewing could say that he would fight with the other party, but Olajuwon's style of play, with both strength and flexibility, made Ewing very uncomfortable.

After the two turns, Olajuwon pulled back, Ewing involuntarily jumped up, Olajuwon directly met him, made a foul, and Olajuwon made two free throws.

Olajuwon's flame burned very strongly, but it did burn with his teammates, because of the encroachment on a large number of balls, the two rookie guards Francis and Mobley did not play well in the second half, so it seems that Olajuwon is turning the tide in the situation, but playing and playing, the Rockets' score gradually fell behind to 8 points, which seems to return to the rhythm of the Knicks.

Because Olajuwon did not rest, Mo Xi appeared again at the end of the third quarter, and once again played against Olajuwon.

Olajuwon is a little tired now, but an inexplicable dignity supports him, he does not allow himself to rest, he does not allow his dignity to be trampled on, especially, the opposite side is still a junior, maybe one day he can really take over the torch of the center, but that must be after his retirement, because now, he is the best center, even the shark in Los Angeles can't shake him.

Olajuwon gasped for breath and once again slammed into the offensive end, then slammed a one-handed dunk to close the score to six, but the Knicks soon caught up.

Although Mo Xi really shook Olajuwon in the last time of the first half, but now he does not dare to make an easy attempt, but he is not afraid of attacking, Van Gundy is now replaced by a pure substitute lineup, the first scoring point is Mo Xi, Mo Xi can not retreat.

Mo Xi covered Charles at the free throw line, and after Charles dribbled half a step, he was delayed by Olajuwon and had to stop, but at this time Mo Xi took this opportunity to grab half of the body advantage.

Charles was quick to shoot the ball to Moxi.

Olajuwon's defense is also very fast, almost when Mo Xi received the ball, Olajuwon has returned to Mo Xi's body, but Olajuwon lost the first defensive position after all, Mo Xi accelerated directly and dribbled through.

Olajuwon followed closely and followed to the basket.

Mo Xi suddenly stopped, dribbled with his left hand, turned around directly, and shot directly.

It is still very difficult for Mo Xi to show his basket movements in front of Olajuwon, so Mo Xi thought of a new idea, that is, to fight fast and shoot fast, so that Olajuwon has no time to defend.

Mo Xi's idea is not wrong, Olajuwon's ball is really not defended in place, when he jumped, Mo Xi had already shot, but this ball was obviously a little uncontrolled, the power was a little big, hit the back edge, and bounced out.

But because Olajuwon had just landed and couldn't turn back, this rebound was actually grabbed by Camby, who jumped directly under the basket and dunked to score.

At this moment, Olajuwon looks so lonely, alone, and difficult to support alone, as if when he led the team alone, the helpless figure made people cry.

At the end of the third quarter, Olajuwon fell to the ground and did not pull the score back, and the Knicks led by eight points into the final quarter.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy made an unexpected substitution, Ewing and Johnson returned to the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the two are still in a situation where their playing time is limited due to injury, and Van Gundy will not let them play more than 30 minutes. In other words, in the fourth quarter, the Knicks' interior main force will be Mo Xi and Camby.

The contrast between the Rockets and the Knicks is so stark at this moment, and when the Rockets still have to use two veterans who are more than 70 years old together to guard the interior line, the Knicks' interior line has begun to be updated.

Six minutes later, the Rockets did not recover the score, but were pulled away by two points, because today's Knicks are too accurate, the overall shooting rate has exceeded 50%, and the three-point shot is 7 of 12, while the Rockets are 45% shooting rate, 47% three-pointers, such data is usual, and the lead has been ensured early, but the Knicks they met today are obviously better in hand.

Van Gundy swapped Moxi and Camby on the court, and the Knicks began to close the net.

Olajuwon is so tired at the moment, he can't run anymore, he hasn't played like this for a long time, but he hasn't been so happy for a long time. That's what Olajuwon should do.

Mo Xi faced Olajuwon and got a chance to play in the low post. He jammed Olajuwon at the waist, and the two first fell into a power struggle.

Olajuwon is not a person who is deaf to what is going on outside the window, he knows that in this position, the young man in front of him has an extremely agile performance, not to mention anything else, that is, the hand that turns his back and divides the ball is really amazing, even Olajuwon has to nod, but now, it seems that he is about to face this blow.

Mo Xi's back turned to the ball is to win in suddenness, in the moment of the opponent's distraction, directly into the inside, and the most interesting point of the ball is that often the more you pay attention, the easier it is to be passed, of course, unless you directly choose to stop the opponent's person.

That's what Olajuwon intended, so when Mo Xi knocked back, he didn't move, but soon, he found that Mo Xi didn't move, he was shocked, the secret road was not good, and when he looked back, he was shocked again, the ball was added a spin by Mo Xi, and it bounced back slowly, at this time Olajuwon felt a gust of wind floating around him, Mo Xi turned around, turned around when he turned around, caught the rebound ball, and broke through to the basket directly.

However, Mo Xi's layup was not successful, and when he made a layup, Olajuwon still caught up, he jumped up with a roar, and shot the ball out with his hands, which is a typical defensive style belonging to the 90s, simple and rough, you pass me, but I can still foul.

Mo Xi hit both free throws, and next, he will and must face Olajuwon's return tribute.

Hold the ball in a high position, tentative step, and then quickly cross the step, directly past the ink pity, face Camby, turn around and jump, Camby jump, this is a feint! Turning to shoot again, Mo Xi flew up, but this is still a feint! Olajuwon stepped forward with his left foot, facing the basket, raised his head to lift the ball in front of him, and squatted deeply, this time, Camby jumped at the same time as Mo Xi, who had just landed, and then saw Olajuwon jump, leaned forward, drilled through the gap between Mo Xi and Camby, and dunked successfully.

Olajuwon roared again at the Toyota Center, telling the world that his time is far from over, and that he is still standing here, and that big dream is still standing here, waiting for the next challenger.

It's just that the Rockets lost the game in the end, Olajuwon was too tired, and in the last two minutes, he could only run back and forth with the team, the Knicks won the game 101:93, and Olajuwon, who was 36 years old, ten months and twenty-four days, won the whole world.

The white jersey of number 34 shines so brightly at night at the Toyota Center.
