The Rockets and Bulls players entered the stadium to the cheers of the Rockets' home fans.

The Rockets players were cheered on, and the Bulls players were booed.

Olajuwon and Jordan, before the start of the game, made a hug, taking this opportunity, Jordan said in Olajuwon's ear: "Hakim, I heard that your Miller called and said that if they win us, you will invite him to the Golden Club, you are trying to deal with us, you have used all means, but we survived, you are very disappointed, Hakim." ”

Olajuwon paused slightly and said, "Hey, Michael, your ears are really long enough, you can know everything." I didn't feel disappointed, I felt glad that if the Pacers killed you, how much would it cost me, Miller's kid was a demon in the world, the Rockets could easily kill you, why did I spend that money, I'm very glad you killed the Pacers now, thank you for saving me a lot of money. ”

The two of them ended their hug in such a ghostly mood.

Olajuwon scolded in his heart: You dead Miller, say everything, it's really his grandmother's big mouth, the next time I see him, he will feel better.

Olajuwon gathered the Rockets players into a circle and shouted: "The battle, it starts right away, come on, come on, come on." ”

"Come on"

"Come on"

"Come on"

The Rockets shouted in unison.

The players scrambling for the ball have already begun to prepare for the scrum.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown into the sky, and Garnett was like stepping on a spring, taking the lead in touching the basketball and giving the ball to Mark on the side? Jackson.

Mark who took the ball? Jackson, steady the rhythm on the court, slowly began the first offense of the Rockets.

Looking at Harper in front of him, Mark? Jackson couldn't help but tease again: "Hey, I said man, we're meeting again, and next, we're going to meet in a row." ”

Harper gave Mark a blank look? Jackson said, "Shut your mouth, Mark, you're the most hated player in the league." ”

Mark? "Wrong, I'm supposed to be your favorite player, and as long as I'm on the court, you're going to be blown up," Jackson said. ”

Harper said contemptuously, "Mark, are you talking nonsense?" ”

Mark? Jackson smiled weirdly, "What I said is true, you see." ”

The words are not falling, Mark? With a flick of Jackson's wrist, the ball was sent inside.

Olajuwon has already stuck Longley behind him, and after catching the basketball, Olajuwon is about to go to the basket.

But Langley behind him, seeing this situation, pushed forward violently, increasing the contact with Olajuwon's body, Olajuwon, who was already ready to go to the basket, shook his body's center of gravity, moved his wrist slightly, and the basketball was still in after playing the board and turning a few times on the basket.

However, after the goal, Olajuwon glanced back at Longley, and Longley looked at Olajuwon without showing weakness.

The two sides entered an all-round confrontation in the first seconds of the game.

The Rockets were also prepared for this before the game began.

Olajuwon knew in his heart that the Bulls were starting to play with their lives, and if they didn't play with their lives, they wouldn't be able to do it.

The Rockets have had a week more rest than the Bulls, who just finished their seven-game battle with the Pacers and have a big physical flaw.

If you don't make a little move, then this series is really not watched.

Turning over, the Bulls immediately hit a chase ball, Pippen quickly went down to the Rockets' three-point line, and the ball passed horizontally to Jordan at a 45-degree angle.

Then, he made two big strides directly into the Rocket's restricted area, the ball did not stay in Jordan's hands, and was handed over to Pippen again, Pippen, who received the ball, used his body to defend his own Horry, and then jumped up violently and dunked the basketball into the basket with one hand.

The Bulls finished the offense quickly, very succinctly and quickly.

Watching the Bulls attack like this, several old guys of the Rockets jumped in their hearts.

I thought, "That's fast."

The two sides began to compete like this, one fast and one slow.

The Rockets' offense relies on the cooperation of inside and outside, the center singles, pulls out the gap, and then the Rockets either break through or shoot, playing the offense of the halfcourt.

The Bulls, on the other hand, didn't wait for their center at all, and even after three minutes of the opening game, they replaced Longley with Kukoc, who was chasing the Rockets' butt.

These people on the field are all masters who can shoot suddenly, and several consecutive attacks began to open the score between the two sides.

Lao Tang was on the sidelines, looking at this form, his brows were furrowed.

Then, he got up and called Bodi Roga and said: "Dejan, you go on the court to replace Mark, now the Bulls are like using speed to bring down our guard line, Mark and Clyde are not young, and Mark is naturally inferior in speed, after you go on the court, in addition to controlling the rhythm, and then limit Pippen's fast attack, tell Clyde that now the Bulls are mainly attacking Pippen, let him pay more attention to the defense with Horry, understand?"

Bodiroga nodded and said, "Understood." ”

After that, taking advantage of the dead ball, he replaced Mark? Jackson.

After Bodirog added the game, the Rockets' backcourt increased significantly faster.

Pippen's fast break was gradually suppressed.

However, Jordan immediately began to explode, and three consecutive mid-range shots made the Rockets' defense begin to take care of one or the other.

The reversal of the two sides once stretched by 8 points.

Just after Lao Tang was about to make substitutions and adjustments, Olajuwon stood up again.

Olajuwon held the ball and leaned on Rodman behind him, and Rodman was almost hanging on Olajuwon's body.

Olajuwon smiled and said to Rodman behind him: "Dennis, no wonder many people are suspicious of your surname, and I'm also suspicious now." ”

Rodman stubbornly resisted Olajuwon and said, "Hakim, if you invite me to the Gold Club, you will know my surname." ”

Olajuwon didn't speak, but Olajuwon has now made up his mind that when he sees Miller in the future, he will definitely not let it be better.

Miller, who was watching the game at home, also shivered at this time and muttered, "Who misses me." ”

Olajuwon suddenly retreated, and Rodman's center of gravity on Olajuwon shook for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Olajuwon scored 2 points with a very standard jump shot with a "bang".

Rodman didn't have anything to do about this ball, the center of gravity was shaken away, and then people still had a height advantage, how do you stop it, you can only watch Olajuwon score 2 points.

The Bulls, who came back, didn't score this time, and Pippen's mid-range shot was interfered with by Horry and came out.

The rebound was grabbed by Garnett, and the Rockets stabilized their rhythm and continued to play with Olajuwon on the inside.

Olajuwon is Olajuwon after all, a beautiful dream dance move that spins left and right, after stunting Rodman, an easy pick-and-basket, and scored two points again.

The score was narrowed down to 4 points.

However, immediately Jordan changed colors and hit a mid-range shot.

Looking at the time and score on the field, Lao Tang continued to do it, watching the game quietly.

Both sides are quite stable now, because it is the first quarter, and both sides have more physical strength and can play some cooperation.

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, the Rockets began to make substitutions.

Olajuwon is replaced, Drexler is replaced, Big Ben and Ray are replaced? Allen's arrival continued to fuel the rocket's engine.

After the substitution, the rocket began a high-speed impact.

When Pippen was playing fast tactics with the Rockets, he immediately set his sights on Bodi Roga.

However, the current Bodi Roga has been polished in the NBA for three years, and he is no longer the rookie who just came to the United States from Europe.

Pippen's close defense, although it can pose some threat to Bodi Roga, is no longer able to cut off the Rockets' offense.

Thunder? Under Jordan's defense, Allen played very hard, and could only continue to lead Jordan to start running.

However, Horry was still very idle in the face of Harper's defense, forcing the other players of the Bulls to fill him in.

However, the most difficult is still Kukoc, Pippen goes to defend Bodi Roga, then Kukoc can only deal with Garnett.

Although the height is about the same, there is still too much difference in the skill of the strength and internal line.

After two consecutive rounds of breaches, Phil? Jackson decisively began to make substitutions.

Longley came on and replaced Kukoc.

Rodman went back to defend Garnett.

Only then did the situation on the field stabilize, and the two sides fell into a stalemate for the second time.

The Bulls are very smart, if you Rockets are slow, I'll play fast, use Pippen and Jordan's personal attack power to hit Rockets, if the Rockets are fast, then we will strengthen defense, cut off your engine to launch a fast attack, block your powerful attack points, so that you can't be fast.

The Bulls' tactics were implemented very thoroughly.

Due to clear tactics, with 2 minutes left in the game, the Rockets were already 7 points behind their opponents.

Lao Tang, who was in the audience, stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Deyang, speed up, speed up." ”

When Bodi Roga heard this, he nodded to the old soup.

Then, in the last two minutes, a quick wave of counter-attacks was played.

Bulls Longley missed the shot, Bodi Roga won the rebound, turned around and pulled the ball to dodge Pippen's defense, looked at the big Ben who was already about to fall, threw it with one hand, and a long pass ran through the whole court, after receiving the ball, Big Ben didn't stop the ball at all, strode into the paint area, jumped high, and smashed the basketball to the basket with one hand.

The dunk sparked emotions among the Rockets' home fans, and some female fans shouted, 'Big Ben, I love you.'" ’

And Ben, who completed the dunk, was also very excited, and after landing, he showed his muscles to the fans.

The Bulls also seemed to have been demoralized by this wonderful dunk, and the Bulls missed the offense again, and the rebound was taken by Garnett. Bodi Roga took the ball and glanced at it, Ray? Aaron had already turned around and was fast attacking.

However, Jordan is even tighter and doesn't have much of a chance.

Just as Bodi Roca was hesitating how to attack, a voice came: "Dejan, here." ”

Bodi Roga looked up and it turned out to be Horry who was already outside the Bulls' three-point line and stuck in position.

Bodi Roga didn't hesitate to pass the ball, but Horry didn't attack with the ball.

The ball just spun in his hand, and Garnett, who had already been plugged in at high speed from the back, had already run up.

Horry bounced off the ground and the ball bounced into Garnett's hand.

Garnett, who got the ball, jumped from the free throw line with the ball and dunked with both hands.

After landing on the ground, Garnett roared even more passionately.

In the final 2 minutes, the Rockets narrowed the gap of 7 points to 3 points.

This score made Lao Tang very happy and made Jackson very helpless.

The first quarter ended with the Bulls missing their final shot.

At 25:22, the Bulls only led by three points.
