Chapter 238: It's Really Not Easy to Deal With (Part II)
The Rockets reimbursed the Trail Blazers on their home court, Tiger was very happy, and Tiger felt very happy to see Paul's stinky boy with a stinky face, not because of the problem of winning a small castle, money is a number for people like Tiger and Paul.
Guys like them, in fact, play is the mood.
The second game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers is about to begin, and Mike? Dunleavy received a call from Paul, although Paul didn't say anything.
However, the implication is to let Dunleavy win a game, but is the game so easy to win? The answer is no, and against a superpower team like the Houston Rockets.
When Paul came to the box with Tiger, Tiger was already waiting for this kid, looking at Paul's triumphant appearance, Tiger was very strange.
Tiger said to Paul, "You kid, what's wrong today, you have taken that beautiful woman down again." ”
Paul glanced sideways at Tiger and said, "Ha, Tiger, the Trail Blazers will definitely win the game today." ”
What kind of person is Tiger, as soon as he heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, and Tiger whispered to Paul: "Did you kid call old Dunleavy and let the family have to win this game, just to fight with me." You idiot, if you do, I guarantee you won't be able to stay with Dunleavy Sr. after this season, you know, a manager's authority is inviolable, even if his record is not good, he has to control the team. ”
As he spoke, Tiger had become the dominant Wall Street financial tycoon.
Paul wasn't a fool either, and he knew what was going on as soon as Tiger said it, but a person's inexplicable self-esteem was preventing Paul's determination to apologize to old Dunleavy.
Tiger smiled indifferently and said, "Man, you can do it yourself, you are the boss, you can decide what you want." ”
Paul, who had been silent for a while, gritted his teeth and took out the phone, dialed a number, and the phone was connected in a short time.
Paul was right in front of Tiger and said to Dunleavy Sr., "Mike, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you some more excessive questions, you did it according to your own ideas, I'm really sorry." ”
Listened to Paul's sincere apology, Mike? The thought of Dunleavians leaving dissipated, because he really couldn't bear to let go of his players, he knew that these players under him were extremely talented players, as long as he gave him a few years, he would definitely integrate these players and make them the most effective team in the league, as a coach his biggest dream is to have a group of good players, and then make himself a coach like Auerbach, which is the dream of all coaches.
Tiger looked at Paul and just smiled, not saying anything.
Paul also shook his head in frustration and whispered, "Hey, man, I'm still not as good as you." ”
Tiger smiled again and said, "Man, this thing is a matter of mentality, and people like you are already very good, and there are many, many people who are stubborn. ”
Paul shook his head and stopped talking, waiting for Game 2 of the Rocket-Trail Blazers game to begin.
The game started, the players on both sides got into the state quickly, both sides knew the strength of their opponents, and they also knew that if they couldn't get into the state right away, then they would lose absolutely themselves in the end.
Sabonis's opening opponent is Olajuwon, and the bus still can't deal with Sabonis's old fritters, and such an old guy can only be dealt with by an old guy like Olajuwon.
Sabonis had the body stuck behind Olajuwon behind him, smiled faintly, received a pass from Pippen, a very light turn, had his own body to hold the obstacles, an easy layup, and scored 2 points in front of Olajuwon.
Seeing Sabonis glance at himself lightly, Olajuwon was amused, can such a little trick still anger me, obviously not, but this kind of look is really unpleasant.
So, Olajuwon decided to give one back.
Olajuwon took the ball, slammed his body lightly backwards, and then suddenly turned around, one used his body to block the defender, and the other made a layup to solve the problem.
This goal and Sabonis's action just now were carved out of a mold, and all the players on both sides on the field opened their eyes wide.
They all thought to themselves in their hearts: These two old guys don't have to fight each other.
With such doubts in mind, the two sides continued to play.
However, things didn't go the way the players on both sides thought they would, with Olajuwon and Sabonis both showing the heart of an old guy, with the two constantly passing the ball and constantly organising attacks.
The first quarter ended in such a situation, and the powerful attacking power of both sides was on display.
At 27:27, the two sides played at a very high level.
The second quarter of the game started quickly, and after the start of the second quarter, Sabonis's departure gave the Rockets a chance. Cato still can't keep up with Olajuwon.
Although, Sabonis can't keep up, but in terms of attack, Cato is much worse than Olajuwon.
By the end of the second quarter, the scores were eight points apart.
After the break, after the start of the second half between the two sides, Mike? Dunleavy was replaced by O'Neal Jr., but can you expect a 19-year-old to stop the old fritters in his 30s?
Apparently not, but Rashid? If Wallace were to keep an eye on Olajuwon, the vacated Garnett would be a great threat.
Looking at the interior line of the Trail Blazers that has been blown up, Sabonis was still replaced, there is no way, the old man's knee really can't withstand the game for too long.
The outcome of the second game was quickly doomed, and the Rockets' strong interior line made the Trail Blazers completely lose hope of a comeback.
95:84 The Rockets were in the next city, leading the Trail Blazers 2-0.
Just when everyone thought the Trail Blazers were going to be swept by the Rockets, the Trail Blazers, who returned to their home court, began to fight back.
The outside of the Trail Blazers began a collective outburst, Pippen, Damon? Studamayre, Jim? Jackson, Walter? Williams and other outside players began to suffocate their shooting percentages.
In the whole game, the Trail Blazers' shooting rate was as high as 61.3%, and looking at such a shooting rate, the Rockets could only cry.
107:94.
The Trail Blazers, who returned to their home court, pulled one back and turned the big score of the two sides into 2:1.
Watching the wonderful performance of his players, Paul, who was watching the game from the sidelines, smiled like a flower on his face.
Let Tiger who is far away in Houston scold, you laugh, you laugh like a bird, your face is the same as a chrysanthemum.
Not to mention that after the game, Paul called Tiger and the Rockets players put all their energy into Game 4.
After the start of the fourth game, the Trail Blazers' outside line was all targeted by the Rockets, and Horry and his old rival Pippen continued to be entangled with their lives.
Thunder? Aaron is also eyeing Jim? Jackson, two people of about the same height, were entangled from the beginning of the game until the end of the game.
Did Bodi Roga keep up with Damon? Stoudmayer, 'Flying Squirrel' didn't know that a big man who had been with him for so long could keep up with his speed.
In a situation where the outside line was suppressed and the inside line could only fight with the Rockets, but the main players could only play for more than 20 minutes, the Rockets once again grasped the initiative on the court.
The inside line of the rockets, like a sledgehammer, smashed into the interior of the Trail Blazers little by little, making the interior of the Trail Blazers led by Sabonis miserable.
After Sabonis couldn't play in the second half, the Rockets began to gradually overtake, Olajuwon, Bus, Big Ben, Garnett, Malik? Rose, taking turns to hit his opponent.
After the Rocket's outside players carried out the blockade task, the Rockets' outside players' offense also began to exert their power, and the outbreak of internal and external forces completely made the Trail Blazers lose their ability to resist.
By the end of the game, 97:82, the Rockets were in the next city, and the Rockets led their opponents 3:1 and got the match point.
The game has been played to such an extent that everyone already knows that the Rockets are already unstoppable in victory.
In Game 5, which followed, the Trail Blazers put up desperate resistance, and they didn't want the Rockets to celebrate their victory on their home court.
The Rockets didn't expect the Trail Blazers to put up such a stubborn resistance at the beginning of the game, and the Rockets were beaten by the Trail Blazers without defense, and at the end of the first quarter of the game, they were led by 8 points.
In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers continued to exert their might, and throughout the game time, the situation on the court was firmly controlled by the Trail Blazers, and the Rockets could only be beaten passively.
By halftime, the Rockets were already 15 points ahead of their opponents.
Back in the locker room, Lao Tang was angry, looking at the cloudy old Tang on his face, all the Rocket players subconsciously lowered their heads, no one could challenge Lao Tang's authority at this time.
After the start of the second half, the Rockets started a Jedi counterattack like a different team, and the feeling of the two quarters of the second half was that they were met with a pile of steel.
In the face of the Trailblazers' tidal attack, the rocket is like a totem pole standing on the coast, standing there forever.
In the second half of the game, the Rockets chased the score back little by little, narrowing the gap between the scores of the two sides point by point, and the Rockets were like a determined giant chasing their dreams.
With four minutes left in the fourth quarter, a dunk from Garnett leveled the score.
Such a blow was too big for the Trail Blazers, after which the Trail Blazers did not score a point, and the Rockets relied on their tenacious will to the end of the game, and the score was fixed at 100:90 The Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers by ten points, and defeated the Trail Blazers with a big score of 4:1.
The fans present stood up and applauded both sides, because everyone saw a very classic game, and both sides showed their best strength and contributed a wonderful game to the fans of both sides.
Looking at the somewhat sad Trail Blazers players, Mike? Dunleavy stepped forward to comfort the Trail Blazers players one by one.
Because, they still have a future.
Paul also stood up and applauded his players, they really did their best.
The rocket marched to the next round with his head held high.
