Chapter 225: Sir Again

After beating the Mavericks on the road, the Rockets flew back to Houston overnight, but fortunately they were relatively close, and they will face the Raptors on their home court the next day.

After the Toronto Raptors traded for Carter, everything revolved around this kid to form a new team, and in addition to the team's Maddy, Christie, and Alvin? Williams and Charles? Oakley, the Raptors' combat power is still very strong.

Under the leadership of head coach Butch Carter, the Raptors have a good record this year and even have hope of making the playoffs this year.

Such a vigorous team is still difficult for ordinary teams to deal with, but when encountering the Rockets, who are also mostly young, a passionate battle between the two sides is inevitable.

After the start of the game, Carter relied on his perverted physical fitness to repeatedly impact the inside line of the rockets, and Christie also fired frequently on the outside, and for a time it was a very big rocket to play a scoreless victory.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides played a tie at 26:26, which surprised all the players in the court.

However, after the start of the second quarter of the game, the Rockets increased their pinch attack on Hockart and the defense of Christie, and the Raptors' two major attack points suddenly lost their power, and the Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a wave of 10:0 attacks.

The two old guys on the Raptors inside really didn't withstand the impact of the Rockets, Wivian? Kelis went off the break with 4 fouls in the second quarter, Charles? Oakley was even more restrained by the opposing Garnett, and there was no way to do it.

In addition, the outside line could not open the situation, and the Rockets finally expanded the score to more than 15 points at the end of the second quarter.

Tiger on the sidelines, looking at the Carter and Maddie brothers, is a sigh, two people with excellent talent and brothers, actually failed to join forces to impact the championship, these two people teamed up to add a second-rate point guard, two interior blue-collar players, and some substitutes, they are completely the most powerful contenders for the championship.

However, geniuses are always proud, and it is not good to be a relative, and the best partner is not good, and their talent is blinded.

After halftime adjustments, the Raptors tried to counterattack in the second half, but the Rockets' strong control ability made the Raptors' counterattack not have any effect.

The Rockets safely controlled the score of the two sides until the end of the game at 96:84, and the Rockets won a victory.

I don't know how the alliance looks down on rockets.

After beating the Raptors at home, the Rockets flew straight to Golden State to take on the Warriors and then faced the Kings in back-to-back games.

In 5 days, the Rockets had 4 more games.

The angry old soup also scolded the league bastard, there is no way to set the schedule, so let's fight.

In the away game against the Golden State Warriors, the Rockets did not give the opponent any chance, relying on Olajuwon's 27 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and the Rockets did not give Starks and Marshall any face.

96:83 Rockets beat Warriors away.

After beating the Warriors, the Rockets traveled to Sacramento to take on the Kings on the road.

Two wins over the Kings on their home court gave the Rockets confidence in this game.

However, this game did not follow the Rockets' roadmap, Webb played extremely well in this game, completely ignoring the Rockets' interior defense on the offensive end, and Garnett had a good meal.

From the beginning of the first quarter, the game entered the time of the Kings, and the Princeton system of the Kings began to bear fruit, and under the dispatch of Webb and Divac, the Kings played a smooth match.

The Rockets were suppressed for a whole game, and Lao Tang didn't make any adjustments, so he let the Rockets continue to play like this, and experienced a baptism of the Princeton system.

In the interval between the first and second quarters, Lao Tang looked at the Rockets' players with a smile and said, "How is it, isn't the king's offense very flavorful." ”

The rocket players all nodded silently, and Lao Tang continued: "I know, it's good, I'm going to give you a long name today, and now I listen to how to suppress the opponent's offense." ”

After speaking, Lao Tang picked up the tactics board and loudly explained the tactics of the rocket in the remaining time.

The adjusted Rockets have strengthened their defense against people since the second quarter, as long as I keep an eye on people, your basketball is passing fast, and no matter how many backdoors are opened, I can also block your offensive line in the first time.

However, this kind of defense requires the physical strength of the players, but fortunately, the Rockets have more people playing the ball and can withstand it physically, and the Rockets gradually reversed their weaknesses in the second quarter, and the strengthening of the defense means that the Rockets can have more opportunities to attack.

After trailing by 7 points at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets led by 5 points in the second quarter.

It was all done in just 12 minutes, and the Rockets used their tenacity to complete such a reversal.

At halftime, the Rockets began to adjust themselves.

After the start of the second half, the Rockets' offense was even more targeted, seizing the weakness of the King's interior line, and the Rockets' interior hammers began to hammer non-stop.

The second half became the world of the Rockets, and by the end of the game, the Rockets won by 10 points at 96:86.

ended his schedule of 4 games in 5 days.

However, they still can't take it easy, because there are still three away games waiting for the Rockets.

After defeating the Kings, the Rockets rushed to Los Angeles, and the Clippers were already waiting for the Rockets' visit.

However, the Clippers still couldn't change the outcome of the game, and this year's champion Olavokandi only scored a pitiful 6 points in the game, which made people really can't report any good ideas about this year's champion.

After the 107:88 victory over the Clippers, the Rockets flew to Salt Lake City, and after this period of running, the main players of the Rockets who got off the plane in Salt Lake City were already full of exhaustion.

Lao Tang looked at the state of the main players, sighed, and thought in his heart: The game with the Jazz is dangerous.

In the routine training on the second day, Lao Tang tried to provoke the main players of the Rockets to fight, but the Rockets, who have won 13 consecutive games, really don't have a good mood to fight with the Jazz.

Seeing such a situation, Lao Tang decisively changed the main lineup, and the Rockets' substitute players got the opportunity to start.

Olajuwon, Garnett, Horry and other key players all sat on the bench.

Today's Rockets are all substitute starters, Big Ba Malik? Rose, Crohill, Saulus and Daniels were the starters.

Looking at the starting lineup of the Rockets, the Jazz players looked very bad-looking, and they all cursed in their hearts: What do you Rockets mean, it's all a group of benches who want to play with us.

Malone stood on the sidelines and said to his teammates: "Everyone, let's let go today, we must not leave Salt Lake City easily, we must be the opponent to know that we are powerful." ”

The Jazz players all nodded angrily, and after the game began, the Rockets' bench players withstood the huge pressure of the Jazz.

Is Malone bullying Malik? Rose, Malone, as the league's best power forward, against Malik? It's still easy for a little guy like Ross. However, Rose, who has been playing in the Rockets for two years, is also full of blood and is very competitive with Malone, and he does not back down at all, which makes Malone impressed.

Krohill vs. Hornacek, the two have a 10-year age difference, and there is a lot of difference in height and weight, although Hornacek is very experienced, but the physical gap still makes Hornacek a little unbearable.

Byron? Russell faced Saulus, and the two fought evenly, shuttling back and forth between the small movements and the little black hands, like a pair of.

Stockton looked at the young Daniels and frowned, because this kid's defense is very good, coupled with his youth and strength, Stockton feels that it is difficult to deal with.

The Jazz's main force and the Rockets' bench fought on the court, and just when everyone thought that the Jazz would easily win, the Rockets' bench team erupted with extremely powerful energy, and the two sides played 22:22 in the first quarter of the game, such a result made everyone stunned.

Tiger, who was far away in Houston, was watching the game with a glass of wine in his hand, looking at the huge TV screen, and smiling.

See the bus, Malik? Tiger was very happy with the excellent play of Rose and Crohill, because he knew that his plan had taken another step forward.

Remembering that when he called Lao Tang yesterday, Lao Tang roared, Tiger had palpitations, and Tiger secretly said in his heart: If there is such a thing in the future, it will definitely let Dawson say it, and he will definitely not come out.

However, looking at the performance of these people on the field, Tiger was really reluctant to write for a while, especially Malik? Inside bench players like Rose and Big Bus are really hard to come by.

But when he thought of Da Yao, Tiger was sad again, Tiger thought in his heart: If the bus goes to the Eagles, there must be no problem in sitting in the main position, but I'm a little sorry for Mutombo, but it may not be a bad thing to let him go to Philadelphia early, Rose and Crohill plus 2 first-round picks this year, I don't believe we can't get this year's top pick.

Tiger gritted his teeth, secretly ruthless.

Tiger's mouth aside, let's get back to the court, the second quarter of the game between the Jazz and the Rockets is over. In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets' benches had their own tenacity, interpreting what collective basketball is, while the Jazz were even more annoyed, a group of substitutes and the Jazz's main players fought for half a game, such a game result, so that all the Jazz players felt ashamed, can we only compete with a group of Rockets' benches?

Jazz walked into his locker room with such a question.

After the blood-red jazz walked into the locker room, Lao Tang showed a smile instead.

After the adjustment of the midfield, the Jazz's offense is more violent, but the Rockets' defense is also more tenacious, and the third quarter of the game between the two teams is more like the last quarter of the seventh game of the Finals, and the players who serve both have put in a lot of energy and all their willpower.

The two sides were like beasts out of the wilderness, their red eyes were hoarse at each other.

At the end of the third quarter, players on both sides dragged their exhausted bodies and stood on the sidelines listening to their coaches explain the fighters and precautions of the final quarter.

However, the main players on the sidelines of the Rockets were even more red-eyed, looking at the game on the court, Garnett couldn't help it, walked to Lao Tang's side, and whispered: "Coach, I want to play." ”

Lao Tang glanced at him and said: "Kevin, I know what you and Hakim think, but you will not play in this game, because it is related to a plan of the boss, I hope you understand, this plan is related to the future of the rocket." ”

After speaking, he looked around at the other main players of the Rockets, and continued to whisper: "I hope you understand what is going on." ”

After finishing speaking, he put his eyes on the field again.

The main players of the Rockets looked at each other, not knowing what to say, only Olajuwon nodded in understanding, and said to the others in a low voice: "Everyone sit down and continue to watch the game." ”

After that, he didn't say anything, and turned his attention to the arena again.

At the last moment of the game, no one expected that the Rockets' benches would fight to such an extent with the Jazz's main players.

The Jazz could only end the final game in the last 12 seconds by relying on a layup by Malone.

88:87 The Rockets only lost by one point, and after this game, many people's minds moved again.

That's what Tiger wants, too.
