Chapter Ninety-Four: Double Killing Spurs (I)
On January 25, 1998, the Rockets, who returned to their home court, welcomed their old rival, the Spurs.
Before the start of the game, Duncan found his best friend Daniels and asked, "Man, didn't you say you were coming to the Spurs to win a championship with me?" How suddenly I went to the rocket. ”
Duncan and the strange idea of his best friend, this question has been in his mind for a long time.
"Hehe, Tim, you said that if I went to the Spurs and won the championship, what would the media say about me?" Daniels smiled and asked Duncan a question.
Duncan deserves to be a psychology student, but he was slightly stunned, and immediately understood his thoughts in the heart of the party.
Thinking of this, Duncan shook his head and said, "Brother, I understand your thoughts, but I know that this is not your original idea, can you tell me who told you?" ”
Daniels smiled and said, "It was Mr. Tiger who told me. ”
When Duncan heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly and said, "The rocket has a good boss." ”
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, hugged each other, and each returned to his bench to prepare for the start of the game.
The "beep" whistle sounded, and Duncan and Garnett jumped up at the same time, touching the basketball almost at the same time.
However, neither side fought for the ball, and the ball flew up again.
Garnett relied on his excellent ability to bounce continuously, jumped quickly, and gave the ball to Mark Jackson, who had a game off.
The three old guys of the Rockets, who got the extra rest, were even more energetic today, and they were entangled with their respective opponents vigorously and vigorously.
Mark Jackson steadily took the ball across the half court, looking at the players of the Rockets, who were running accurately according to the specified tactics, Jackson gestured, Horry suddenly ran out of the inside, ran in the direction of Jackson, looked at Horry who came forward, Jackson unhurried a stride and entangled his 'little general' to get rid of it.
After shaking off the man, Jackson strode inside.
Just look at Garnett and Olajuwon, who have been stuck in position, are waiting for his pass, it turns out that Barkley, who came out with Horry, saw that the situation was not good, and directly blocked Jackson's passing route with a big stride.
Jackson smiled and passed. Unfortunately, the ball is not passed inside.
Huo Li on the outside line is more than 20 centimeters shorter than himself 'little general' Johnson.
Directly ignoring the opponent's defense, he hit a three-point shot.
From this ball, the rocket showed that it was a tacit understanding of two words.
Instead, Barkley continued his singles tactics.
Horry stumbled to the ground like a ravaged little girl.
Then Barkley wanted to get close to his own vegetable garden and score an easy layup.
The two teams, who were already very familiar with the road to the glove, began to fight.
Garnett and Duncan are old rivals who have been entangled since the start of the game.
The two are inseparable like lovers in love.
Either you are holding him, or he is holding you, and Tiger, who is watching the battle from the sidelines, not only maliciously thinks: Is there something hidden between these two people.
Hehe, of course it's a joke.
Olajuwon and David Robinson, old rivals, are also entangled on the inside.
Fortunately, the two didn't hug as tightly as Duncan and Garnett.
The first quarter ended in such a rhythm.
18:15
The Rockets only had a three-point lead.
The score of the two teams left everyone depressed.
Are they playing a game under international basketball rules?
From the second quarter, the Rockets stepped up their offense.
Bodi Roga, Ray Allen and Big Ben play.
Substitutions for Olajuwon, Drexler and Mark Jackson.
The rocket began to pick up speed again.
Now the most unlucky on the field is the 'little general' Johnson, looking at Bodi Roga, who is more than 20 centimeters higher than himself, he completely disappeared on the defensive end.
Seeing this, the Spurs immediately adjusted their defenders, sending Wennidel Negro to defend Bodi Roga.
However, this adjustment did not have much effect.
Bodi Roga led the Rockets' bench players into a 13-3 offensive run.
Such a wave of quick attacks caught the Spurs off guard.
Looking at Bodiroga roaming the field, Vic was determined to find a figure like Bodiroga outside the United States.
The game completely fell into the rhythm of the rocket, and the situation on the field fell into the control of the rocket for a while.
Fortunately, the Spurs are still putting up stubborn resistance.
On the offensive end, David Robinson used his height and skill to repeatedly spread the Rockets' interior defense.
Defensively, Spurs have stepped up their defense against Bodiroga, with at least two players coming up to pack as soon as Bodiroga gets the ball.
After the Spurs gradually adapted to the Rockets' offense, the Spurs also began their own counterattack.
Aren't your rockets attacking quickly?
Then I'll slow down and fight a positional battle with you.
Don't you have great organizers?
I used the bag to limit his role.
In this way, the Spurs turned the situation back little by little.
As soon as the rocket saw it, it immediately began to change people again.
Saulius replaced Horry, and Big Ben was replaced by Bus.
The Rockets began a 'triangle offense' that mimicked the Bulls.
The Rocket's changeable tactical characteristics and excellent staffing allow the Rocket to play all tactical changes.
After a quick attack, the Spurs suddenly found that their opponent's tactics had changed again.
The whole team, under the command of Bodi Roga, actually opened the 'triangle' attack.
This series of tactical changes is so seamless that Vicky has to admire Lao Tang's tactical command ability.
It is not something that can be done by any coach to switch between multiple tactical systems.
This requires not only a deep foundation from the coaches, but also a group of outstanding players to execute.
Luckily, with Garnett, Ray Allen and Bodiroga as the core of the young players and Olajuwon, Drexler and Mark Jackson as the core of the old players, the combination is very good, and a group of excellent role players are added.
This allows the rocket to switch at will under a variety of tactical systems.
If you want to be fast, you can be fast, and if you want to be slow, you can be slow.
If you want to be quick, a group of players under the leadership of Bodi Roga can play small-ball tactics such as running and shooting.
Thinking slowly, Olajuwon's play-on allowed the team to play any kind of half-court attack.
The Rockets have gone through half a season of training, and the tacit understanding and cooperation of the players on the court have become even better.
It's also the reason why Rockets players can easily play any tactic.
Under the changeable tactical system, Spurs stubbornly resisted until halftime.
At halftime, Vicky focused on how to defend the Rockets' rapid offense and how to cut off the Rockets' 'triangle' rotation.
But at the start of the second half, the Spurs were dumbfounded.
Olajuwon's old men are back on the pitch, and that unhurried half-court attack is back.
** Vic's focus in midfield is furnishings.
The Spurs can only rely on the ability of the players on the court to self-regulate to take on the Rockets.
Mental calculation without intention.
Lao Tang's on-the-spot command was once again a head higher.
The Rockets are like a monkey who will change 72, constantly changing their tactical style on the court.
A lot of tactics are almost at your fingertips.
The Spurs were so scorched that they resisted for a full quarter, and in the fourth quarter the Spurs collapsed.
112:97
The Rockets beat the Spurs again on their home court.
However, the Spurs still have a chance to get revenge, as the Rockets will visit ATT Center in two days' time.
They still have a chance to win it back.
However, rockets are not so easy to deal with.
