Chapter 172: Chicago, Here We Come (1)

Game 2 of the Finals between the Bulls and Rockets entered the final stage of the fourth quarter of the game, and it was the Rockets who started attacking first.

Leading this counterattack was someone no one expected, and that was Hori.

In the final five minutes of the game, the Rockets brought Horry on the court to replace Saullius and continue to play against Pippen.

Pippen, who had already consumed a lot of physical strength by Saulius, looked at this opponent on the field, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: The rocket is really difficult to deal with, just went down with a dog skin plaster, and another dog skin plaster came up, why are there so many difficult guys in this rocket.

After coming on the court, Horry looked at Pippen silently and didn't say anything.

Pippen opened his mouth and said, "Robert, why did you kid come up, it seems that your head coach doesn't like you very much." ”

Horry said indifferently: "You save your energy to play, look at how tired you look, say a few more words, and you will go to see God." ”

Don't look at Horry usually doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he will die, and he can't stand it.

As he spoke, Pippen took the basketball and looked at the opponent in front of him, looking for the opponent's flaws and preparing to break through.

There is too much sweat for sweating, a drop of sweat suddenly flowed into Pippen's eyes, Pippen couldn't help blinking, the basketball in his hand was a little lax, as a good defensive player, Horry, at this moment instinctively put his hand forward, and his hand accurately pointed at the basketball.

Pippen's basketball got out of his hand, and Horry was like a cheetah in the African savannah, quickly rushing out, two big strides across the halfline, controlling the basketball, and a few big strides into the right Bull's paint area, jumping up in the free throw line, a beautiful one-armed windmill, smashing the basketball into the basket.

The Rockets players on the sidelines were shouting loudly and jumping excitedly.

To complete his steal and dunk, Horry also waved his arms very excitedly.

Lao Tang looked at the ball, and also stood up and applauded Horry, indicating that the ball was very good.

After that, the Rockets took advantage of the situation and began to counterattack, and the Bulls were very uncomfortable with the Rocket's counterattack, and the Rockets seized the opportunity to start beating up.

After two consecutive missed offenses, the Rockets grabbed the rebound, and after two counterattacks, the Bulls had to call a timeout.

Phil? Jackson was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Bulls in these few minutes, and said loudly: "What are you doing, I told you to focus, what are you doing, do you still want to win the game, are you going to go back to Chicago like this, you know what this game means, we don't have home court advantage anymore, if you can't win an away game, we will lose the initiative in this series, what kind of thing is this for us, you don't know." Now cheer me up, cheer up, now it's 9 points short, we still have 3 minutes left, strengthen the defense, defense know, the defense must be fast, if it doesn't work, it will foul, you can't let the Rockets score so easily, you know? ”

Phil, who rarely gets angry? Jackson is a little steady.

However, it was completely impossible to control the situation on the court, and although Jordan took over the last few minutes of the game, the Rockets' strong overall attack power made the Bulls' counterattack at the last moment come to naught.

Although Jordan's two mid-range shots were scored, the Rockets also made two mid-range shots, making the Bulls lose their last hope.

The Rockets controlled the rhythm of the court at the end of the game, and finally when the whistle blew, the Rockets won the opponent again by 6 points.

At 101:95, the Rockets took a 2-0 lead over the big score.

Watching the Rockets chant after the game, the Bulls players could only leave gloomily.

Jordan walked up to Olajuwon, hugged him, and whispered in Olajuwon's ear, "Hakim, I'm waiting for you in Chicago." ”

Olajuwon replied, "Yes, man, don't worry, we're going to go, and we'd love to celebrate our victory in Chicago." ”

The two old rivals hugged each other, and Jordan turned to leave.

Drexler walked up to Olajuwon and said, "Hakim, what did that paranoid man say to you. ”

Olajuwon didn't look back, and said quietly: "He said that he was waiting for us in Chicago." ”

Drexler smiled and said, "Then we'll go to Chicago, what's there to be afraid of." ”

Olajuwon said arrogantly on the side: "Yes, just go, are we still afraid that they won't succeed, the Rockets are no longer the team that lost to them last year, and we must be the last victor this year." ”

Drexler looked at his old buddy, smiled and didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of determination.

Tiger, who was on the sidelines, also howled excitedly, shouting loudly: "Hey, guys, you guys are amazing, you must be the champion." ”

Lao Tang on the side said with a smile: "That is, we must be the champions." ”

Tiger shouted loudly along with the fans around him, "Yes, we must be champions"

Such a loud noise was transmitted directly to the ears of Jordan, who had already walked into the players' tunnel.

Jordan, who clenched his fists tightly, felt a stir in his heart, how long has it been, the Bulls have not encountered such a strong opponent.

The Celtics were still the Lakers, and those bad boys didn't have this kind of pressure, was it because I was old, or were they too strong.

It's really uncomfortable to feel like this, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, Jordan shouted wildly in his heart.

Looking at Jordan's eyes full of anger, Phil? Jackson whispered beside Jordan: "Michael, don't look like you, you all set an example, you have to be calm, we still have a chance, back to Chicago we are repairing the rocket, Chicago is our turf." ”

Jordan nodded silently, glanced back outside and said, "We'll celebrate victory here, I swear."

Pippen, who was next to Jordan, hugged Jordan's shoulder and said, "Yes, Michael, we will." ”

Saddened and determined, the Bulls left the Rockets' home arena and returned to Chicago to await the arrival of the Rockets.

After the game, some media interviewed Lao Tang, and a reporter asked: The Rockets won on their home court, but when the Rockets faced the away journey, did they have the confidence to defeat the opponent.

Lao Tang replied: Of course, my goal is to win the championship, and there is no doubt that the Rockets can defeat any opponent anywhere.

Another reporter asked: The Rockets want to use a few games to end this final Finals against the Bulls.

Lao Tang didn't give a positive answer, but said: We will do our best to defeat the opponent, but a few games to solve the opponent, maybe six, maybe seven, after all, the Bulls are not so easy to deal with, and the Rockets will do their best to defeat them.

Tiger, who went back to the locker room with Lao Tang, entered the locker room and said loudly: "Guys, you guys are amazing, I don't know how to reward you, if you are given money and things, you will be investigated by the league, so I still want to invite everyone to drink, but Rudy said that before the end of this season, you are not allowed to go out drinking with me, this is no way, then we can only wait for the end of the season, you will get a grand celebration and a perfect drinking party." ”

For a while, there was a whistle in the locker room.

The big monster shouted: "Boss, are there any beautiful women at the party?" ”

Tiger glanced at Big Ben and said, "You silver stick, how can I say hello to you." , you can think of something else besides thinking about it. ”

Big Ben said very seriously: "Then what do you say I should do, boss." ”

Tiger also said seriously: "Man, you should think about how to do something for all mankind, what to solve the energy crisis, greenhouse gas emissions and other things related to the happiness of all mankind." ”

After hearing this, Big Ben slid directly from his chair to the ground, and said in fear: "How do you know that I am Batman, do you also have superpowers?" ”

The Rocket crowd immediately began to burst into laughter.

Lao Tang was also on the side for a while, and then said loudly: "Guys, tomorrow morning's normal training has been canceled, we will meet at the airport at two o'clock in the afternoon, and leave for Chicago at two thirty o'clock." Do you understand? Everyone disband, go back and have a good rest, we go to Chicago is a tough battle, who wants to become a soft-footed shrimp, you can do it yourself. ”

The Rockets laughed again.

Then disbanded and went home, what should I do?

Tiger and Lao Tang chatted together about the Chicago game.

Just listen to Tiger said: "Rudy, this time we have two games on our home turf, so it can be said that we have the first opportunity, we go to Chicago to play, as long as we can win one game, we can guarantee our final victory." ”

Lao Tang nodded and said: "Yes, but this series of away games is not so easy to deal with, you see I am in front of the players, full of confidence, but it is for the players to see, you know, boss, I can't show cowardice in front of the players, otherwise the players will not have the confidence to win the game, fortunately we won two games on our home court, so we can have a good deal with them on the Bulls' home court, by the way, boss, do you go to Chicago with us?" ”

Tiger said with a smile: "That's a must go, cheer up your team, it's my duty as a boss." ”

Lao Tang looked at Tiger with a smile and said, "Yes, why didn't I feel it, and I don't know who it is, I didn't come to the first game at my home stadium." ”

When Tiger heard this, his face turned a little red, and he defended: "Isn't there something wrong with that?" ”

Lao Tang smiled and said nothing, looking like I knew everything, which was really unpleasant.

I heard Lao Tang say with a smile: "Okay, don't joke with me, you're the boss, I don't want you to deduct my salary, then we'll see you tomorrow afternoon, hey, I'm old, go back and rest early, people can't be old if they don't accept it." ”

After saying that, he got into his car and left.

Tiger looked at the car that Lao Tang was far away, got into his car, stepped on the accelerator, and went back to his home.

In the afternoon of the next day, Tiger met with his Rockets players and flew directly to Chicago on the Rockets' plane.

On the plane, Tiger and the Rockets players were joking, Mark? Jackson said to Tiger, "Boss, how are you spending your vacation this year?" ”

Tiger said with a smile: "I'm going to France to watch this year's World Cup, how about anyone interested in going with me." ”

Big Ben scratched his head and said: "I know football, but I know that football Brazil is very good, they won the world championship in the United States, I still know that." ”

Tiger looked at Big Ben in surprise and said, "Yes, Ben, you still know Brazil, it's really good, I thought you knew basketball and football." ”

Big Ben said a little proudly: "I still know Italy, in 94, the guy named Romario in Italy was very handsome and had a ponytail. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tiger's body was crooked, so that he could hang and slide off the chair.

Tiger said bitterly: "You kid don't watch football or not, don't you talk about this, keep talking, I'm going to jump off the plane." ”

Big Ben scratched his head and said, "Am I wrong?" ”

Tiger pointed to Big Ben with his finger, unable to say.

So, as soon as his eyes were closed, he stopped talking, and there was someone on the side who knew what was going on, and he said it in private.

The Rockets players were on the plane.

Scared the pilot of the plane, so that he could hang in the air and slide at a large angle.

Anyway, the rocket arrived safely in Chicago, and when he got off the plane, Tiger stood on the spiral staircase of the plane and shouted, "Chicago, here we are." ”

The Rockets are about to embark on their own road trip.
