Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Spurs of the Slaughter? Is it possible (Part I)

On December 10, 1997, the Rockets welcomed their old rival, the San Antonio Spurs, on their home court.

Looking at Tim Duncan, Tiger's heart twitched, thinking: "Hey, the Spurs are really lucky, how did this once-in-50-year genius fall to the Spurs." After getting Ginobili and Tony Parker in the future, the "GDP" combination can be said to be rampant, but now Ginobili and Parker are not famous, and it is estimated that ** Vicky has not noticed it, or hurry up and rob them, but that is too boring, so it is too challenging to collect all the good players in your hands. Therefore, the standard of the Rockets' future draft is players who fit their team's tactics. ”

However, look at Barkley and David Robinson, the 'little general' Johnson, Sean Elliott and other votes.

Tiger's heart began to twitch again, how did this make others mess up, Barkley, why can't you stay in the Suns, why come to the Spurs, come on, why can't you help the Spurs win more games last year, eat and drink, drink and drive, and have a car accident, how can it be so coincidental, it's okay. The Spurs got the No. 1 pick and got Tim Duncan, and the Spurs are now playing extremely hard inside, even if O'Neal meets them, he has to cry.

Coupled with a military-born ** Vicky, the Spurs have almost been transformed into a sophisticated machine, which is interlocking.

Such a team is one of the strongest opponents of the future Rockets, except for the 'ok' combination.

Looking at today's strong spurs, Tiger is also excited.

Only such an opponent is interesting, and such an opponent is worthy of the great rocket dynasty.

What am I afraid of, with skeletons like Garnett and Ray Allen, with brains like Bodi Roga, and with a strong interior like Ben Wallace, I'm still afraid of a bird.

Moreover, if you have player information for the next 10 years, you can choose players who are suitable for the Rockets at any time.

What are you afraid of, only challenging the strong is valuable.

As long as you defeat the strong, you can become stronger.

These thoughts flashed through Tiger's mind, and then he turned his attention to the players on both sides who were warming up before the game.

Looking at Garnett and Duncan on the court, the two lifelong rivals, began their first collision on the Rockets' home court.

And the theme of the two-person battle for hegemony runs through the stage of the next ten years of the NBA.

Since, Barkley's health has not been very good lately, ** Vic put Barkley on the bench.

The 34-year-old Dazui also understood his physical condition and accepted the arrangement unconditionally.

Big Mouth also understands that he's late in his career, and he just needs to be a championship ring.

This year's champions are the Rockets and Bulls.

If he goes to the Bulls, he and Jordan are good friends, and Jordan will welcome him, but Jordan's paranoid surname is not something he can adapt to.

Go to the rockets, other rockets don't need themselves at all, and the strength of the substitute lineup is eye-popping.

You let the Rockets get a vote for a young player with a very promising future in exchange for an old guy like yourself, and the Rockets don't do it, and they are not stupid.

So, I came to the Spurs, hoping to join forces with David Robinson to fight for a championship ring, but what I didn't expect was that David was seriously injured and was reimbursed for a season, and he was also reimbursed for a season due to a drunk driving accident.

It may also be lucky that the Spurs' poor results have picked up a top pick for themselves.

Tim Duncan, arguably the best interior player other than O'Neal in the 10 years before entering the NBA, fell into the hands of the Spurs.

This news once made Barkley excited, but after the excitement, it also brought endless thoughts to Barkley.

That's the problem of his own positioning, the position he is most familiar with is the power forward, but now Duncan's arrival has doomed this position, so what can he do.

This question bothered him for a long time, until he told Vicky about it.

After hearing this question, Vicky laughed and asked: "Charles, I remember that old boy Bill Wharton said this about you, that muscular bastard Barkley is a player like 'Magic' and 'Big Bird', they can't play a certain position, you know this sentence?" ”

"I've heard of it." Barkley replied honestly.

"Would you like to hear my advice?" **Vicky put away his smile and said formally.

"I want to hear it, or I can't ask you." Barkley is still very honest.

"Listen to me, then you go and be the strongest small forward ever." **Vicky said solemnly.

"The strongest small forward, small forward." Barkley slowly chewed on the meaning of his words.

The more I think about it, the more flavorful it feels.

"I think I see what you mean, Coach." Barkley said excitedly, standing up.

Watching Barkley, one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, dance like a child.

** Vicky was also excited, thinking about his most powerful forward combination in the future, and secretly thought to himself: God is really helping me.

In fact, this problem has also bothered me for a long time.

It was also by chance that he saw Bill Wharton's words.

Only then did I think of such a question, Barkley has probably the strongest body in the league, fast pace, excellent breakthrough ability, can shoot three-pointers, good ball control and good passing vision, after having an interior like Duncan and Robinson in the team, it is obviously a waste to stuff such a person into the interior, so can we put him on the outside, as the most powerful wall to protect the interior.

Such an idea grows like a weed in the mind of ** Vicky.

He couldn't wait to bring his assistant coach in to study such a tactic.

Through constant tactical drills, Vicky increasingly confirmed that his ideas were correct.

Imagine such a guy, if you put it on the outside line to make a breakthrough, then who can intercept him.

However, Vicky did not put this idea with Barkley said.

Because, a top 50 NBA superstar was squeezed to the outside by a rookie, which is a bit unacceptable.

But he knew what kind of person Barkley was, straightforward, what to say, and didn't care what others thought. But Barkley was never a locker room poison, a very righteous character.

And the 34-year-old Barkley himself would have thought of these things.

So, he sat back and waited for Barkley to come to him.

As he wished, Barkley really couldn't sit still to find himself.

After knowing that Barkley had the same idea as himself, Vicky said his own tactics.

After a rehearsal within the team, the tactics immediately took shape, and almost all Spurs players and coaches were stunned.

It's just too powerful, and the chemistry of the three of them is just amazing.

As the latest style of play in the new season, the Spurs immediately pushed their own style of play to the forefront.

For a while, all the teams were stunned by this style of play.

Look at Barkley who is constantly using his body to break through at the small forward position.

Duncan who keeps playing singles on the inside.

And that old spicy 'admiral'.

These three people, you are a bag clip or no bag clip.

As long as you miss one, it can beat you into a sieve.

The 16-3 record so far in the new season is also closely following the Rockets.

The alliance was shocked.

The media is also exclaiming, oh my God, why didn't Barkley go on the inside, why did he wreak havoc on the outside.

On the outside, Barkley seems to incarnate that the big 'o' he can do anything.

Scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocks.

Barkley at the Spurs seems to be rejuvenated.

Before the game, the Rockets also made special arrangements, and whoever went to defend Barkley could only be handed over to Horry in the end.

Looking at Horry with a bitter face, everyone could only pray for him.

The game begins.

The winner of the jump ball was Garnett, a seasoned ball protector by Mark Jackson.

Seeing that the 'little general' Johnson, who had no chance, could only take a step back and look at Mark Jackson to death.

Today, the two sides can only fight to the death.

The first ball of the Rockets is still a big dream to play.

"Man, you're in good form this year, Charles's kid played well, why didn't he play today." Big dreams, he relied on his old rival 'Admiral'.

"Charles was a little unwell today and didn't let him start, why do you want to greet him." David Robinson: He whispered.

"Hehe, I'll say hello myself, I'll let him see it." After saying that, one turned and forcefully separated David Robinson, and then a jump to dunk.

David Robinson didn't expect Da Meng to suddenly exert force, and his body staggered, and he was separated by a step.

Seeing that he was about to dunk when he saw a big dream, he was helpless.

At the moment when Da Meng jumped, a big hand fiercely pressed the basketball in Da Meng's hand.

caught off guard, I felt a great force, covering the basketball stiffly, and I couldn't jump by being held down alive.

Look up and see Tim Duncan, this year's new champion.

Seeing that Big Dream couldn't exert his strength, David Robinson quickly came up to wrap up.

Hands waved wildly in front of Big Dream's eyes.

The fans at the home stadium of the Rockets were worried that the basketball would be cut off by the Spurs.

However, big dreams are big dreams after all.

The body quickly turned 180 degrees, using the width of his body to separate Duncan and David Robinson.

A hook shot, the ball softly arcs and hits.

Looking at the basketball he hit, Da Meng spread his hands and said; "Look David, that's my greeting, I think Charles should know."

With that, he turned and left.

Looking at the big dream in the distance, Duncan muttered, "Is this the big dream?" ”

Looking at Duncan, who was staring at the back of Big Dream in the distance, David Robinson stepped forward and said, "Tim, this is Big Dream, the guy who can blow up any inside line in the league." Hehe, if you want to compete with him, you still need time. "After that, go back to your baseline serve."

Tim Duncan, who is worthy of studying psychology, only slightly fluctuated in his mood, and then returned to normal and got up to join the Spurs' offensive sequence.

And returning to his big dream of defending in the half, he said to Garnett next to him: "Kevin, if I'm not mistaken, your kid's lifelong opponent has appeared." ”

Hearing this, Garnett looked at the black No. 21, licked his lips and said, "Yes, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Rockets vs. Spurs, the prologue is kicking off.
