Chapter 104: Towards the Goal
After the Rockets took care of the supersonic on their home court, they took advantage of the victory to travel to Vancouver to take on the Grizzlies.
Although, some time ago, the Grizzlies wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Rockets were all knocked down by the flu, but unfortunately, under the unity of the Rockets, they could only hide their faces and go back and were defeated by a 9-man team, and 8 people scored double-doubles.
How can this make the Grizzlies' face go by, and the Grizzlies are bound to get back face in this game.
Now former Rockets player, Osella Harrington has established herself in the Grizzlies, and her average performance of 13+6 per game has made the Grizzlies' system team happy, because this is still obtained on the bench, which is really valuable.
Now the Grizzlies have forgotten about the No. 4 rookie in '97 and now they only have that big man of 2.06 meters in their eyes.
After the start of the game, the Grizzlies also had a little upper hand, but unfortunately, the old men of the Rockets easily used their experience and technology to leak out the Grizzlies' serious lack of tactical awareness and tactical execution ability.
The Grizzlies' tactics are simple, relying more on individual singles.
Only Harrington came on the pitch and had some good combinations with Abdullah Rahim.
However, it was quickly killed by rockets.
At the end of the first half, the outcome of the game was already sealed.
At 57:42, the Rockets led by 15 points in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, it was the world of the Rockets' benches, and the Rockets' benches were like tanks with full horsepower on their home court, stirring up the Grizzlies' players in a dark place.
Seeing this situation, the Grizzlies also replaced the bench players, let them play, they can't beat the Rockets anyway.
And just like that, the Rockets won on the road with the Grizzlies abandoning the game.
115:102
There was no suspense that the Rockets would win.
After a comfortable win over the Grizzlies, the Rockets moved on to Portland.
It was a back-to-back race, but luckily the Rockets had their own plane, so they were able to take a proper rest on the plane.
On February 14, 1998, the Rockets challenged the Trail Blazers on the road.
At the very beginning of the game, the Rockets withstood the Trail Blazers' powerful attack.
The Trail Blazers, who have lost to the Rockets several times, don't want to let the Rockets easily take the victory on their home court.
The Trail Blazers were united in their desire to knock the rocket down.
It may be due to the fatigue of the journey, or it may be due to the fact that the average age of the main players of the Rockets is already very large.
A couple of older guys in the Rockets' main players are clearly a bit overwhelmed.
Olajuwon was continuously beaten by Sabonis on the inside, and seeing this situation, Lao Tang quickly sat down to adjust, and the bus came on the field to replace Olajuwon.
After playing, although Sabonis can still score on the inside, under the continuous impact of the strong body of the bus, Sabonis's physical strength is losing a lot.
This forced Sabonis to act more as a playmaker than a finisher.
Such a change was expected by Lao Tang, looking at the changes on the field, Lao Tang quickly made a gesture.
Order the Rockets' players to increase their defense against other players, off-ball runners, and screen players, and block the offensive space of other Trail Blazers players.
Such a change made the Trail Blazers players feel uncomfortable.
Although, Sabonis pulled the big bar down, but the Rockets still have a Garnett on the inside, plus a Horry can also defend inside.
So, now the inside line of the rocket is extremely strong.
The Rockets relied on their versatile tactics and strong defensive system.
Always firmly in control of the situation on the field,
At the end of the first half, the Rockets had a four-point lead at 49:45.
At halftime, Lao Tang called Olajuwon aside and asked, "Hakim, what's wrong with you today, how do you look weak." ”
"I don't know why, I woke up like this morning, I just felt powerless." Olajuwon doesn't quite understand why.
"Well, well, if that's the case, Hakim, you can only rest off the court in the second half, because the Trail Blazers will fight back in the second half, and if you are not in shape, you can't take risks on the court, lest you get hurt." Old Tang groaned and said.
"Hehe, coach, I was just about to tell you about this, an old guy like me, sometimes you really let us take a good rest and let the young people go for a while." Olajuwon said very generously.
"I knew you would say that, Hakim, rest off the pitch in the second half and watch the young guys put on a show." Lao Tang patted Olajuwon's arm and said.
After that, he and Olajuwon returned to the locker room and laid out specific tactics for the other players of the Rockets in the second half.
As the second half began, many people found it strange that Olajuwon did not play. However, soon all were attracted by the fierce competition on the field.
Without Olajuwon, the Rockets once again played a fast-winded offense.
The rocket attack was like a storm, hitting the Trail Blazers' defense, wave after wave without stopping.
Under such an impact, the Trail Blazers finally couldn't hold on and collapsed, and at the beginning of the 7th minute of the third quarter, the Rockets quickly opened the score between the two sides.
By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had five minutes to stretch the score to 16 points.
And because he couldn't keep up with the pace of the game, Sabonis had to be substituted due to an old injury.
Once again, the Rockets set the tone for the game, and after the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to consume time with the bench and the Trail Blazers.
By the end of the game, the Rockets had outscored the Trail Blazers by 19 points.
105:86
Rockets are also free to win.
In this way, the Rockets went on a two-game winning streak on the road.
The Rockets' 45-5 record is still the strongest team in the league, and everyone is speculating about what the Rockets will achieve in the end.
With such results, the Rockets drove to Angel City to challenge the Lakers and Clippers on the road for two consecutive years.
Even though it's still an away game, at least you don't have to run back and forth, it's still very good.
Just when the Rockets were ready to challenge the Lakers.
Tiger continues his life like a fairy.
On the huge field in his own home, Tiger and Amy Adams, after Hu Tianhu was done, were hugging each other tightly.
"Honey, you're awesome, I'm going to die." Amy Adams looked at Tiger with a confused look in her eyes.
"Hey, yes, baby, let's move on." Tiger is like a hungry wolf who hasn't seen a woman for 100 years, staring at the beauty in his arms.
"You go die, I'll talk about it later, and I'll talk to you about something serious." Amy Adams sneered.
"Hehe, baby has something to do, say it quickly, I'll listen." Tiger smiled strangely, and his hands kept wandering around the beauty.
"Heck, seriously, I want to start a charitable fund for people who can't afford to live because of war and poverty." Amy Adams said with some seriousness.
"Well, honey, how could you have such an idea." Tiger was also a little weird.
"The other day, Turrell and I were invited to attend an exhibition at a United Nations Refugee Relief Committee, and to be honest, what the exhibition showed was really shocking, and I really wanted to do something meaningful." The more Amy Adams spoke, her face became heavier.
Hearing this, Tiger's memory floodgates suddenly opened.
This year is already 98 years, and the place I remember most is the great flood in China in 98.
Although the Chinese have survived with their own strength, there are still many victims who have not received effective help at that time, and those who have no tents and no food waiting for help have deeply shocked themselves in their previous lives, and their own ability to help these people in this life is why not they don't make a contribution.
Moreover, there is also the notorious racist incident in Southeast Asia this year, which makes his heart ache even more.
Thinking of this, Tiger said firmly to Amy: "My dear, you can do this matter, I will allocate 100 million US dollars for you as a fund first, and if there are any difficulties in the future, I will let my private lawyer team help you, you can do this by yourself, okay?" ”
"Oh, dear, you're amazing, I love you so much, don't worry, I'll do it with Trille, and Trill will also use a lot of classmates to become volunteers, don't worry, dear, I won't let you down." Amy, who was happy, threw Tiger on the bed without a single strand.
Seeing such an exciting scene, something about Tiger began to swell.
I thought to myself: Didn't you seduce Lao Tzu to commit a crime, regardless of what you said about the first offense.
Thinking about it, Tiger pressed the beauty under him with a reflex, and for a while it was boundless spring.
