Chapter 61: Pretty Butterfly Steps and Ugly Little Hook Hands

On November 13, 1997, the Rockets welcomed the resurgent 76ers on their home court.

Let's see who's on the 76s right now.

22-year-old Iverson, last season's Rookie of the Year, the 'answer' for the future

Coleman, 30, was the champion of the 90s.

23-year-old Stackhouse, North Carolina's offensive maniac.

27-year-old Jim Jackson, the original Mavericks of the three musketeers.

20-year-old Tim Thomas, a future All-Star.

Add in the likes of Withers Pang and Brian Shaw.

Phillies hope they can have a good season this season.

They came to Houston full of confidence, hoping that their teeth were good enough to bite a piece of meat on the Rocket's body.

However, when the game started, they were disappointed.

In front of them was a real piece of steel, enough to break all their teeth.

From the very beginning of the game, the Rockets pressed the 76ers to play.

However, Iverson and Mark Jackson are in the opposite position.

Mark Jackson is still battered.

Iverson's personal attack is even more powerful.

It has already been said that you can dominate the intensity of a game by yourself.

On the offensive end, Iverson's footsteps danced like a butterfly.

The changeable pace made Mark Jackson, who was already very slow, a little unable to keep up.

But Iverson, who is demanding on the offensive end, has to face Mark Jackson's nasty big ass and vomiting little hook on the defensive end.

In the first quarter of the game, as long as he was broken by Iverson.

Then Mark Jackson will definitely come back when he attacks.

In these games, Mark Jackson has figured it out, I can't prevent such little potatoes, but these little potatoes can't prevent me either.

I'm afraid of a p, so I can't just push it over.

You don't make me comfortable, and I don't make you comfortable.

Seeing that Mark Jackson kept bullying himself with this trick, Iverson couldn't stand it.

"Mark, can't you change some tricks, that's it, aren't you annoying." Iverson couldn't help but complain.

"I said boy, why don't you slow down a little bit, do you know that my old man's legs and feet are notoriously slow." Mark Jackson said, rolling his eyes.

Listening to this, Iverson really couldn't say anything, speed can be said to be his own capital in the league.

If you really slow down, how can you mix it up?

However, Mark Jackson's back-push style of play is a means for others to survive in the league, can you say that if you don't use it, you won't use it.

And just like that, at the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had a four-point lead at 22:18.

"Coach, this rocket is like a big hedgehog, which makes people can't talk about it." Iverson was whiffing at the end of the first quarter.

"That's right, the Rockets are the strongest team in terms of overall strength this year, you look at their various positions, what kind of players they are, needless to say, the big dream is needless to say, it's a little older, and it's also a guy with strategic deterrence, Garnett has been in the league for two years, and he has made amazing progress, and he is already recognized as a representative of the young generation of big forwards, Horry is the guy who is usually not good and shoots badly, although Drexler is only an old guy who can play 20 minutes now, but you have to know, Mark Jackson, that old guy has been in the league for 10 years, what kind of player has never been seen, the older he gets, the older he is, the older he is, the more spicy he is, plus the young man on their bench, any team with championship dreams this year has passed the Rockets. "It's Larry Brown, and the head of analysis is the way.

"So what should we do, Coach." Iverson humbly asked.

"Strengthen the attack, their main lineup has a lot of old guys, physical strength is bound to be a problem, I estimate that in the second quarter of the game, they will replace the substitutes, although their substitute players are also very good, but there will be a gap with their main force. So, Aaron I want you to continue to strengthen your own attack, your task today is very heavy, you may have to play the whole game, Jerry, you have to cooperate with Aaron's attack, understand. Larry Brown said to Stackhouse.

Stackhouse nodded silently.

"Alright, guys, let's go out on the court and kick the Rockets in the ass." Coleman agitated.

"Okay." The 76ers responded loudly.

Sure enough, 2 minutes into the second quarter, Big Dream and Glider were replaced.

Ben Wallace and Ray Allen were replaced.

Although the two old guys have gone down, Big Ben and Ray Allen have come up after the baptism of last season, and they are also more mature.

Mark Jackson continued to bully Iverson, and was pushed out step by step.

So far, Mark Jackson has scored 10 points on Iverson, which is not easy for a player who averages only 10 points per game.

Just when Iverson couldn't take it anymore, Old Tang replaced Mark Jackson.

Looking at Mark Jackson, who was replaced, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Anthony Johnson, Iverson secretly vowed in his heart: to blow up the kid in front of him.

At this time, the Rockets have been replaced, all bench players.

Bodi Roga, Ray Allen, Marrick Rose, Ben Wallace, Anthony Johnson.

Looking at this set of substitutes, Larry Brown sighed in his heart, the Rockets have got such a good player there.

Although, Anthony Johnson has been broken through again and again.

However, Marrick Ross and Ben Wallace on the inside are very flexible and not slow, as long as Iverson's breakthrough is a little hesitant, then Iverson will only have the fate of being flanked.

However, today Ratlieffe and rookie Tim Thomas performed better.

scored four points each, and didn't let the Rockets' bench pull the score away.

The score was a stalemate at 6-8 points.

Iverson can be said to have exhausted all his tricks, but he couldn't break free under the rocket-like spider-like defense.

It's the same with Starhouse.

Once these two people were sealed by the rocket, then the rocket completely hit the death hole of the 76ers.

The two teams went into the halftime break in such anxiety.

At 47:40, the Rockets had a seven-point lead at the clock.

In this way, the 76ers returned to the locker room aggrieved.

The Rockets' defense is like a net, completely blocking the 76ers' players in the net.

And what happened in the locker room is not something that the Rockets can know now.

The contradictions in the 76ers' locker room erupted under intense pressure on the Rockets.

Because of this game, the departure of Stackhouse was also known to the Rockets in the media.

Let's take a look at what's going on in the 76ers' locker room.

After explaining the tactics for the second half, Larry Brown asked loudly: "Do you guys have any questions?" ”

After a long silence, Brown nodded and wanted to beckon everyone to play.

Just then, a voice came, "Coach, I have a problem. ”

Brown looked closely, and it turned out to be Stark House.

"Jerry, what's your problem?" Brown had some bad premonitions.

'I want more possession, the ball has to be handled by me, I need my team-mates to create chances for me. Stark House spoke his mind out loud.

As soon as this passage came out, there was a shock in the 76ers' locker room.

Coleman immediately said, "Jerry, it's going to be on the court soon, can we talk about it after this game?" ”

Stark House looked at the big brother who cared about him when he joined the team, nodded lightly and said, "I listen to you, Derek." ”

Then, without saying a word, he walked out of the locker room.

Seeing this situation, Larry Brown chuckled in his heart and said to himself: It's over, now Stackhouse and Allen are leaving.

At this time, Iverson also walked out of the locker room with a blank face.

Seeing this, Larry Brown shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and walked out of the locker room.

This is how the second half of the game began.

Without the concentration of the first half, all the 76ers players were a little absent-minded.

With such an attitude to the game, how can it compete with a team like the Rockets.

Rockets are a bit strange though.

However, the game is the game, a wave of 25:10 attack, and the main players of the Rockets quickly stretched the score to 22 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets were on the court with full bench players to compete against those who had lost their minds about the game.

However, even as a full bench player, the Rockets also won the 76ers by five points in the fourth quarter.

In the end, he defeated the 76ers with a score of 110-83.

Although, I don't understand why the 76ers behaved like this.

However, during the intense competition, such things were left behind.

But more than a month later, with the transfer of Stackhouse and media reports, the Rockets suddenly understood that strange game.

People have different opinions.

However, the good atmosphere in the Rockets locker room still satisfied all the players.

It can be seen that only a united team can release the greatest combat effectiveness, and a united team is the most terrifying.

The rocket is already making great strides on the road to victory.

The Rockets, who have won six in a row, are about to face the challenge of the 'Sharks' at home.

The Rockets face their biggest challenge since the start of the season.
