Chapter 22: The Flying Man Fights the Dream (4)
Seeing that his love would be humiliated by Jordan, Old Tang sat in the coach's seat without moving, because he knew that this was what Garnett had to go through.
A mature leader must go through the baptism of storms, setbacks, and blows, and persevere to carry the burden.
In Garnett, Lao Tang saw a lot of potential to become a leader, but those potentials will shine without being honed.
"Rudy, see if you replace Kevin." Tiger reminded from behind.
"No, the boss will be good for him in this game and I'm sure he will learn a lot in this game. Plus, Hakim will help him, and Kevin will pull through. Lao Tang believes in his love very much.
Before the words fell, it was seen that Garnett used his footsteps to shake off Winnington and made a successful layup, not depressed at all because of the ball just now, and still devoted himself to the game so wholeheartedly.
"Look, boss, I said Kevin was fine." Old Tang Le said to me.
"Well, Rudy, I know you're a good coach. However, if Kevin had really been hit by that ball just now, our hard work would have been in vain. Tiger muttered.
"No, boss, you're not right, you know Kevin is this year's rookie, and he's a high school student, and every year's draft is actually a gamble, and if you win, you can get the future skeleton of the team and become a strong team, and if you lose, then you can only lick your wounds and prepare for next year. If Kevin can't withstand such a blow, then he can only become a good player, become a first-class star, and I don't want that, I am a leader, a person who fights the team on his shoulders when the team is in trouble, so there are some things that Kevin has to face by himself. Lao Tang looked serious.
"Okay, Rudy, I know you're proud right now, but you know, Kevin was my deal." Tiger looked at the seriousness of Lao Tang's face, but in fact, the virtue that had already bloomed with a smile in his heart was very unhappy, and he couldn't help but take out his results.
"Hehe, boss, you're really great, you shouldn't know, in fact, I didn't agree to exchange for Clyde last year, and it was to exchange Thorpe, Thorpe is a player who can complement Hakim on the inside, he has strength and skill, and it is the year of playing. And the cooperation is also very tacit, you know, the Rockets have never been an outside-based team, Clyde will deprive a lot of Hakim of the ball when he comes, as a super inside, he needs not a super outside, he needs a group of shooters who can throw the ball he passes into the basket, Clyde's arrival has caused the Rockets to have a large group of outside shooters, and the relative interior has lost the corresponding protection, which is very fatal, I can't just push Horry, who was born as a small forward, to the position of big forward. I don't want to say, our luck is very good, really last season we were really lucky, but, luck can only help you once, not help you for a lifetime, so it is still to strengthen their weaknesses, and the arrival of the boss not only strengthens our shortcomings, but also brings us a new breath, Mark Jackson is said to be the most suitable for Hakim's guard, although the speed is a little slower, but who has seen a team with a super center to play fast, playing fast is a problem with the brain. Bodi Roga is a very good player, in terms of personal feelings, as long as he adapts to the rhythm of the NBA, he will be the same existence as the 'big O' and the 'big bird', he is too comprehensive. And Kevin, that's our leader for the next 10-15 years, and we may need to grind in this year. But next year, with the current staffing, I have the confidence to go with the bulls for a long time. Lao Tang's words were full of energy.
"Hey, Rudy, you're going to be even happier next year, I'm going to get you another batch of good young players, you know, next year is a big year for the draft."
"Yes, boss, hehe, I trust your vision."
As time passed, the second quarter of the game had also been played for 6 minutes, and the score on the court still did not stretch, 42-39, and the Rockets trailed by three points.
However, in these few minutes of the game, it was completely Jordan's performance alone, breaking dunks, emergency stop jump shots, and changing hands in the air to make layups, just like Jordan's show game, His Majesty the Flyer showed his countless scoring methods.
"Clyde, you see you can't stop me." Jordan slapped the ball and looked at the 'glider' in front of him
"Hehe, Michael, how far ahead are you, is it twenty or thirty, isn't it, it's only three points, just a one-goal difference." 'Glider' was not at all subject to Jordan's verbal teasing.
"Three points is enough to win you guys, huh" Jordan was also a little upset.
Why is the tenacity of this year's rockets so big, one by one is like kraft candy, although it can't stop itself, but it also makes him lose a lot of physical strength.
"Hmph, in that case, I have to lead you by ten points in the first half." Jordan secretly made up his mind.
Sudden start, then crotch dribble emergency stop, dodge a line of distance, jump shot.
Turning around, Drexler held the ball, accelerated in the same big stride, broke through Jordan's defense, and then a strange snake line change wiped out Haber, who was helping to defend him, and attracted Rodman under the basket, and passed the ball.
Olajuwon, who won the ball, also lived up to his good friend's wonderful pass, dunked vigorously, and added two points.
"You see, Michael is still three points behind." Drexler shrugged and retreated into his own half.
As soon as Jordan saw it, he immediately gestured for Pippen and Longley to come on and replace Winnington and Cole.
Jackson glanced at it.
Come on, with a wave of your hand, Pippen and Longley come on the field.
Seeing that the opponent had replaced all the main forces, Lao Tang also replaced all his main forces.
The main forces of both sides have begun, and Mars collides with the Earth.
Pippen broke through to the layup with the ball, was slapped by Horry, and even the dribbling was knocked down.
Drexler, cut to the basket, Olajuwon passed, Drexler made a backhand layup, and was pressed down by Rodman with the ball.
For a time, the whistle sounded frequently.
"Hakim, what are you going to do, do you really want to fight?" Jordan's eyes turned a little red.
"Michael, you'd better take care of your teammates, or no one will do them any good." Olajuwon will also be unable to suppress the fire.
Looking, the two sides were furious, and Lao Tang called a pause.
"Hakim, you have to control everyone's anger in the ring, I don't want today's fight to become a boxing ring." Lao Tang ordered Olajuwon emphatically.
"Actually, we don't have to be afraid of fighting, if Jordan is PK, who else can play in them." This is what a slut said.
"Shut up, do you want the Rockets to be suspended on a large scale." Old Tang was a little angry
"You know, Jordan is the image of the NBA now, and if you really hurt him, all the sponsors related to the NBA will kill you, you know, Kenny." Olajuwon patted Kenny Smith and said in a bad tone.
"Okay, Clyde, you continue to follow Michael, you must make sure that his physical strength is not effectively recovered, Mario, you should also pay attention, I will let you replace Clyde in a while, continue to pester Michael, guys, the Bulls are very strong, but we are also very strong, they are three championships, we are two championships, what are we afraid of. Take out your spiritual heads, and God will have to come up with something to achieve victory in us. "Old soup is boosting morale.
There were 3 minutes left in the second quarter.
The players of both sides came on the field for the first time, and the eyes of the big dream and the flying man met together, and a spark was sparked.
The Bulls attacked, Pippen drew the defense in the high post, watched Rodman and Garnett struggle with each other to get stuck in position, while Jordan pulled away with Drexler, Longley was pinned down by Big Dream and couldn't move under the basket, and Harbour and Jackson were also a bit wrestling.
Pippen thought to himself: What's the matter today, everyone is fighting so hard.
"Hey, guys, run up and run, remember our usual tactics." Pippen commanded his team and was running a triangle attack.
Harbour ran to the bottom corner with Jackson, Pippen's ball, quickly passed, and at the same time Longley stepped forward to cover without the ball and block the pick-and-roll.
Blocking people, Pippen cut directly, like a knife cutting butter directly into the paint area.
At this time, Haber's ball also arrived at a very timely time, and Pippen, who received the ball, made a successful layup.
A classic triangular offensive coordination.
Looking at the smooth cooperation of the bull, Lao Tang felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Hey, mighty bull, this kind of coordination is too smooth.
Triangle offense.
Turn over, rocket attack.
The Rockets continued to hand the ball to Olajuwon, leaning on the deep Longley, leaning slightly harder, and testing Longley's defensive center of gravity.
The sudden turn to the left shook for a moment, and then to the right at a point, completely shaking Longley's center of gravity, and after turning back, Longley, who had lost his defensive position, could only watch Olajuwon gently put the ball into the basket.
The Bulls went on offense.
Pippen hoisted the ball to Longley, turned back to make a wall for Harbour, blocked the defender, Harbour was empty, Longley made a timely pass, and Harbour hit a jumper.
In these few rounds, it can be seen that the Bulls' triangle offensive tactics are very proficient.
A few back-and-forth blocks and passes can tear apart the Rockets' defense.
Although now relying on the hand of Olajuwon and others, he has not been thrown off the score.
However, once in the second half, Olajuwon and others have disappeared, and the rocket is in danger.
The crisis of rockets seems to be quietly coming.;
