Chapter XXXIV: The Determination of the Lithuanians

The second quarter begins.

The Rockets traded for Saullius and Bodi Roga.

This season, the Rockets' European duo has also made a name for themselves in the NBA.

As an excellent swingman, Saulus has strength, body, confrontation, can shoot suddenly, and executes tactics resolutely.

He's a very good defender and team player.

Bodi Roga's wonderful performance in the '96 Olympics shook the entire NBA, and his perfect performance in the competition against the Dream Three team made all the teams salivate.

After being replaced on the bench, the Rockets were very mobile, with center Ben Wallace, power forward Marik Rose, small forward Saulus, scoring guard Bodi Roga, and point guard Cassel.

The impact of this lineup is top-notch. Scoring is strong.

And the Bulls can only let Pippen take Cole, Kukoc, Winnington and Harbour on the court.

And the main force of the rocket sat on the sidelines to rest.

Before going on the court, Lao Tang said to Saulius: "Sboga, is your opponent's Pippen difficult?" ”

"Of course, the coach is one of the top 50 stars in the NBA." Saurius felt that the coach was asking a little strangely.

"Hehe, I don't think it's difficult." Lao Tang smiled mysteriously.

"No, Coach, is there any weakness in Pippen?" Saulus looked at the mysterious old soup.

"Pippen is well-rounded, he basically doesn't have any weaknesses, but he had weaknesses today." Lao Tang said confidently.

"Today's weakness, I don't really understand the coach." Saulus shook his head earnestly.

"His weakness today was that his three-point shot wasn't very accurate today. In the first quarter, he missed all 3 shots, so you can put a step to defend his breakthrough, and now Jordan is not on the court, and they lack a strong scoring point, so Pippen will take the initiative to become the main offensive force in the second quarter, and you can put him one step away. And when you're attacking you have to pull him out of the line so that he can't effectively trap your teammates so that we can catch them up as quickly as possible, so I said you're going to have a hard day but you have a chance, you know, boy. Old Tang instructed.

"Understood, coach, then he's going to organize the attack." Saulius asked another question.

"Leave him alone and trust your teammates." Old Tang patted Saullius' ass and motioned for them to play.

The Bulls attacked, and it was Pippen who controlled the ball.

Looking at the white man in front of him, Pippen knew that the kid was Lithuanian.

I met it at the Olympics, and I was still very immature at that time, and I don't know how Rudy is training now.

"Boy, are you going to guard me off in the second section?" Pippen is still interested in his own defense.

"Yes, I am your opponent." Saulius, who came on the field, said very little.

"Boy, we met at the Olympics, do you think you can guard against me?" Pippen looked at the young man.

"I don't know, but I'll do my best to stop you." Saulius didn't say much, but it was very practical.

"Alright then, I'll see." After saying that, Pippen shook and was about to break through with a cross step.

It's a pity that Saulius doesn't eat feints at all.

Still staring at Pippen's shoulder.

"It's not bad, then I'm here for real." Pippen didn't wait for the words to finish, his body protruded forward, tearing away a distance of his body, and then dribbled back under his crotch and jumped to shoot a three-point shot.

The action was very beautiful, but unfortunately the ball didn't go in.

The rebound was picked up by Bodi Roga.

Look at Kassel is almost down.

With a vigorous throw of his hands forward, Cassel chased in the direction he was looking at.

Pippen, who had lost the ball, ran back.

As Cassel caught the ball, he could already see Pippen's quick return out of the corner of his eye.

After holding the ball, Cassel was not greedy for merit, and threw it directly into the air.

Ben Wallace, who was plugged in at high speed in his own backcourt, was already in the opposition paint area.

Wallace had a strong waist and abdomen, his legs were tense, and he grabbed it with both hands when the force rose from the ground.

A small loop was made in the air, and a violent dunk ended the attack.

It's free, and it's hot.

Everyone on the bench jumped up excitedly, waving their white towels.

"You're amazing, Sam." Ben Wallace, with a black face, smiled happily.

He felt a lot of warmth in Team Rocket.

Although Olajuwon is the boss, he does not have the domineering attitude of other bosses.

Drexler is a good big brother.

Kevin is also a great guy to work with.

The rest of his team-mates are also very nice and he really likes the atmosphere.

And there's a lot to learn here.

Big dreams' footsteps, backs, shooting skills, and more.

You will be told without reservation that the coaching staff will develop an individual training plan for you.

At the end of each day, you will also be massaged and treated by professional masseurs and therapists.

There is also a special plane to go out to compete.

The most important thing is that the players here have a desire to win and a chance to win the championship.

Ben Wallace thought to himself, as long as the team doesn't want me anymore, then I'll retire with the Rockets.

Everyone was excited to see a wonderful dunk.

The defensive aggressiveness is even higher.

Pippen ran into Saulius again.

This time Pippen did not choose his own assault.

He wanted to mobilize all his teammates.

Control the ball yourself.

Kukocz abruptly entered the paint area from the outside.

Pippen immediately passes the ball.

Kukoc received the ball with a grounded pass to Haber, who cut in on the other side.

Haber makes a layup.

Unfortunately, Bodi Roga has already returned to the defense.

With a slight touch in the air, the ball is destroyed off the baseline.

Haber looked at Bodiroga without saying a word and shook his head.

Turn and leave.

Seeing that the team had failed to return twice, Phil Jackson shouted from the sidelines: "Run, run, run." Then gestured to Pippen.

Looking at this gesture, Pippen knew that it was Jackson who had asked him to step up his offense.

Shooting, the feel is really not very good.

Breakthrough, that Lithuanian kid stands so deep to prevent your breakthrough.

Passing the ball, I passed it just now, what should I do if my teammates are not angry?

Big head.

Looking at the Lithuanian kid in front of him, Pippen really has a bit of a headache now.

The body is strong, the reaction speed is not slow, and the speed is also there.

What should I do?

The Bulls' offense hit a bottleneck.

It's 35-31 now, and the Rockets are slowly catching up.

It's still a breakthrough, and it's working harder.

Pippen, who was holding the ball, took a deep breath.

This time, you don't need to feint, it depends on your speed.

Looking at his opponent, with a sudden acceleration, Pippen had his own strong body, and Leng opened a surprise passage from the side of Saulius.

One big stride into the paint area.

At this time, Marik Ross saw that Pippen had broken through, and stood on Pippen's assault passage with a stride, waiting for Pippen to crash into him.

Seeing that people had already prepared, Pippen also flipped his wrist unhurriedly and passed the ball directly to Kukoc.

Kukoc also has no one around him, and he has to shoot when he catches the ball.

But at the moment of shooting, a big hand hit the ball directly and hit the ball out of the bottom line.

Kukocz looked back and saw that it was Saulius.

Saulius was very aware of the fact that he trusted his teammates, and when he was blocked by Marik Ross, Saulius had already set his sights on Kukoc, who had been let go.

He also gave Kukoc a steal with clean hands and feet.

The staunch Lithuanian, nevertheless, sabotaged the Pippen offensive.

Pippen, on the other hand, looked at the Lithuanian who had just been broken through by himself and shook his head.

The heart said that the boss of this rocket had found so many excellent young people there.

If these young people develop like this, how can others live?

And they didn't expect that the strength of the Bulls was already a demon in the eyes of others.

Looking at the Bulls, who were completely suppressed on the court, Jackson could only replace Jordan and Rodman in advance.

In the second quarter, in the fifth minute, the score was 39-37, and the Bulls led by 2 points.

After changing to the main force, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman began to play the power of the best trio.

And the Rockets are still playing as a substitute.

With tacit cooperation, the Rockets' bench lineup was beaten 12:4 by the Bulls.

Let the family open up a 10-point gap in 3 minutes.

And the Rockets also changed to the main force in the last four minutes.

The double reversed ended in a tie in the last four minutes.

61:51

The Bulls went into the locker room with a 10-point gap.

The third is more, and the fourth is going to work.
