Chapter 137: Heading for the Playoffs! Forward (Down)

The Rockets continued their road trip after the victory over the Warriors, and in Sacramento, the Rockets took on the Kings on the road.

Against such an opponent, the Rockets don't need their main players to play for a long time.

The powerful attack power on the rocket bench has made the king unbearable.

The old men of the Rockets continued to fight for a quarter of the game, and they were pressed on the bench by Lao Tang, and in this game, Horry and Garnett, Bodiroga were rested.

Crohill, (Jr.) Mark? Jackson and Jacques? Vaughn got his chance to play.

At the beginning of the second half, the three of them played a full quarter of the game and performed well, so that Lao Tang on the sidelines also nodded frequently.

He also needs such a player, who can be quiet on the bench and be a substitute in the bench.

The trio also played well under rare opportunities, with Crohill shooting 5-of-5 from the field in the quarter, including three three-pointers.

(Small) Mark? Jackson scored 6 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter of the game, and his performance was quite amazing.

Jacques? Vaughn also showed his strength on the defensive end, making the Kings' main point guard, Dominic? John Terry was out of shape throughout the game.

In the end, at 107:85, the rocket defeated the king without blood.

After the game, Rockets head coach Eddie ? Jordan also lamented the strength of the Rockets, a group of water cooler guardians, can make the King restrained, how powerful such a team is, and frankly admits that he is very envious of Lao Tang, thinking that as long as the main players of the Rockets do not have any problems, then the future of Lao Tang will be the same as the 'Cardinal' Auerbach.

It can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, in Nuggets head coach Beal? After Hanzlik's talk, Rocket became the talk of the town again.

Just in Eddie? Soon after Jordan spoke, the general manager of the Rockets made a public speech, and Dawson said in his speech: The current Rockets are very united, and now the Rockets have begun to negotiate with the main players on the salary, they have reached an agreement on the level of salary, and also said that the Rockets' current achievements are completely accumulated over the years, and now the Rockets have old guys like Big Dream, and there are Mesozoic generations like Garnett and Dejan, and the Rockets will continue to choose rookies that suit them to cultivate.

The meaning of Dawson's words has been expressed very obviously, the core players of the Rockets have been done, don't bother. In addition, you boys have the ability to dig players on their own, how can you see that the rocket has cultivated so many young people, it is because you have no ability, who is to blame.

For a while, many agents of the hot names of the '98 draft were claiming that the Rockets were concerned about a certain player, and now being invited by the Rockets' training camp was already a reflection of the value of young players, and a large number of applications to join the Rockets' training camp came one after another.

Once again, the Rockets embarked on an away trip in the midst of such hustle and bustle.

After beating the Kings, the Rockets headed to Seattle, where they could be the toughest opponent the Rockets would face before the end of the regular season.

In the face of the upcoming playoffs, in order to fight for the final ranking and avoid an early encounter with the Rockets, the SuperSonics can only do their best to snipe the Rockets on their home court.

However, such a game is not so easy to play, and the current Rockets have reached a peak of self-confidence, and they are also full of confidence in the upcoming playoffs.

In the snow continues to hide the Rockets' three old men, Olajuwon, Drexler and Mark? After Jackson, the young people of the Rockets gave the superSonics an idea of what strength is.

Rocket new generation Trident, Garnett, Bodi Roga and Ray? Allen, the three thoroughly took over the game.

The cooperation of the three people on the field is said to be a tacit understanding, and they can often play wonderful cooperation.

On the other hand, in the face of the Rockets' tough defense, Payton, Schramf and Moon? Baker, basically divided.

There is no cooperation on the field, basically relying on individual ability to get some points.

In the face of the weakness of the supersonic speed, the Rockets played passionately, and the new three cores of the Rockets teamed up to score 67 points.

Looking at such a powerful rocket, the supersonic gave up resistance in the third quarter and watched the rocket wreak havoc on the supersonic basket.

At the end of the game, the Rockets defeated the SuperSonics 113-95.

The Rockets, who have won 18 in a row, are already sighing, who can beat them.

Is it really for the Rockets to end the season after winning 21 in a row?

However, there are still three games left to stop the Rockets.

On April 15, the home game against the Denver Nuggets, hehe, this can only be a joke, and the Rockets have already beaten them with a bench on the road.

You want them to be on the Rockets' home court and stop them, that's what I didn't say.

On April 18, the Rockets challenged the Timberwolves away, and that can also be skipped.

Unless the rockets are all asleep, it's hard to lose.

On April 20, the Rockets faced their last opponent on their home court, the Phoenix Suns.

However, the current Suns are already a bit of a rocket syndrome, and it is difficult to rely on them.

As expected before the game, on the home court of the Rockets, the Nuggets only resisted for two and a half quarters, and under the powerful offensive of the Rockets, they lost the mind of the game.

104:88 The Rockets easily defeated the Nuggets on their home court to win 19 in a row.

After the victory over the Nuggets, the Rockets traveled to Minnesota to visit the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves, who were already about to become deputy squad leaders, were simply powerless to stop the powerful blow of the rocket.

In the first quarter, the Rockets pulled away by 15 points.

No matter how hard Sanders tried to boost morale and how he laid out his tactics.

The Rockets were still so invincible that they lost by 10 points in the second quarter.

By the end of the first half, the Rockets had a 25-point lead.

After halftime adjustments, the Timberwolves in the third quarter tried to start a counterattack, but unfortunately that bit of strength of the counterattack immediately destroyed a wave of rapid attacks from the Rockets.

Seeing that the Timberwolves, who had no hope, Sanders replaced the main team and replaced the bench to kill time.

At the end of the game, 122-95, the Rockets defeated the Timberwolves by 27 points.

The Rockets are on a 20-game winning streak.

After the game, Sanders also lamented the strength of the Rockets, and the Rockets don't have time to pay attention to these now.

Back on their home court, the Rockets began to prepare for the Suns with a new and full heart, and they wanted to celebrate the birth of the Rockets as the most successful game of the regular season with a victory in the final game of the regular season.

The Rockets, who returned to their home court, faced the challenging Suns and began the slaughter.

In the first quarter of the game, the old man army of the Rockets played extremely well, and the Rockets scored 39 points in a single quarter, which made the Phoenix people completely desperate, this is a group of old men, let them score 39 points, and the Suns suffered a huge blow in the first quarter.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the young people of the Rockets began to appear, and the appearance of a fast whirlwind made it even worse.

At halftime, the Rockets led the Suns 80-52.

After the start of the second half, the sun, which was already demoralized, could only withstand the blow of the rocket.

By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had a 40-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, in order to avoid unnecessary damage, the Rockets replaced important players and replaced them with some substitutes to cope with the game.

In this way, at the end of this game, the Rockets defeated the Suns 138-104.

The huge gap of 34 points drew a successful end to this game.

After this game, the Rockets' final regular season game is over.

The Rockets have a 75-7 record.

This result shook the entire league.

Although there are local media in Houston, at the beginning of the season, it was expected that the Rockets would finish first in the regular season this season.

But no one thought that the rocket's results would be so ferocious.

"Houston Chronicle" commented: This season's Rockets are the most powerful Rockets in history, they have the old and spicy Olajuwon, the youthful Garnett, Horry, a defensive expert with three-point accuracy and excellent ability to grasp key games, and Drexler, who is no longer able to fly, but is still sharp in his breakthrough, and Mark who is slow but sharp in passing? Jackson, a top-tier interior defender who strides forward? Wallace, the bus with the iron spirit and tenacious will to fight, and the Marik who plays hard and can make a difference when he plays? Rose, there is Saulus who can swing in multiple positions on the perimeter, there is a new generation of pitcher Ray who shoots like the wind? Allen, Bodi Roga, who is already the top rhythm controller in the league, and Antonio, who has just joined and shown great potential? Daniels, there's Jacques waiting to be summoned at any moment? Vaughn, Crohill and (Jr.) Mark? Jackson.

Together, these people become the most powerful engine and booster of the rocket.

Such a team, as long as their skeleton remains unchanged, then they will definitely be able to achieve a dynasty in the future.

After the game, the owner of the Rockets, our Tiger, gave an impromptu speech.

Tiger said: The victory of the rocket is the team, is the result of the selfless dedication of the whole team, watching the rocket along the way, there are many ups and downs, there are many difficulties, but the rocket man survived, and still strides forward. Because of faith, because of honor, because of friendship, everyone gathered under the banner of the Rockets to stride forward, and we will move forward for that highest honor and move towards the playoffs! Onwards towards the championship! Advance.

After speaking, all the fans, players, and coaches present chanted in unison, towards the playoffs! Onwards towards the championship! Advance.

The Rockets celebrated and laughed on their home court, and no one had noticed that this celebration had opened the prelude to an era.

Just when everyone in the Rockets was celebrating their best regular season record of 75-7.

Rocket boss Tiger? Jones, alone from the celebration scene, returned to his office, Tiger poured a glass of red wine alone, paced to the window, and looked at Houston in the distance at night.

Tiger just looked at the lights in the distance, took a sip of red wine, and muttered to himself: "The rocket is about to embark on the road of the king, this road is not easy to walk, but I still have to go on, for the dream in my heart, for the persistence in my heart, I want to go on forever." ”

The lights are still on, but things are not people, the rocket has gone to a different path, and the rocket has opened the road to the king.

Who can stop it!
