Chapter 127: Rockets Are Faster Than Eagles (Part I.)
The Rockets' players screamed at their bosses.
Spurred on by the honor, the Rockets bloodied the Golden State Warriors on their home court.
The Golden State Warriors were like a little lady who was wheeled and exploded, and was beaten 114:88 by the rocket
Won 12 in a row.
The day after beating the Warriors, the Rockets traveled to Atlanta to take on the Hawks.
The Rockets, who had beaten the Hawks at home, remained optimistic about this game.
The Rockets' belief in their 13-game winning streak is very strong.
Before the game, Mutombo and Olajuwon hugged each other. Mutombo smiled and said: "Man, you guys have a lot of momentum this year, and now it's 12 consecutive wins, and you have less than 10 games to finish the season, and it looks like Michael's regular season record will be broken by you." ”
Olajuwon also smiled and said, "What, Deacon Bay, do you want to help Michael stop us from moving forward?" ”
Mutombo said casually: "We only strive for victory for ourselves, not for others." ”
Olajuwon smiled when he heard this, stretched out his fist and bumped into Mutombo, and said, "Then come on, Rockets like challenges." ”
After the referee's whistle, the game between the Rockets and Eagles officially began.
The Rockets' five-man starter was taken care of in the opening stanza.
The tight defensive system of Mutombo, Steve Smith, Leitner, Corbyn, and Blaylock covered the Rockets in the opening game.
The speed of these five people turned to defend very quickly, and the old men of the Rockets didn't pay attention for a while, and after being solidly defended by the Hawks for two balls, they were scored four points in a row by the Hawks' fast break, and then, Leitner took advantage of the post-grade misplaced defense to throw a three-pointer on Mark Jackson's head.
Seeing that the opening situation was not good, Lao Tang immediately called a timeout.
Lao Tang looked at the players and said: "What's the matter, stinky boys, I'm tired on the plane, there is still something, I didn't cheer up, but don't let the eagles peck me out, cheer me up, pay attention not to make too many horizontal passes, you know, Blaylock's kid steal is still great, if anyone has any situation, hurry up, you know?" ”
"Know"
Several old men of the rocket replied a little depressed.
These old men were unhappy in their hearts, and secretly thought: What did you do today, although the coach didn't say anything, but he had already expressed his dissatisfaction, if he really annoyed the coach, it would not be a good thing.
Several old men of the rocket came out in frustration, and they all wanted to sprinkle fire on their opponents.
First, the beginning of Mark Jackson, pouting his big ass little by little to push Blaylock.
Blaylock, who is much worse than Mark Jackson in height and weight, can only be pushed under the basket by Mark Jackson little by little, and then can only watch the ugly little hook hand send the basketball into the basket.
Moreover, the Eagles do not dare to carry out the bag clamp for the time being, as long as it is a bag clip, Mark Jackson will definitely pass the ball, and such an old fritter will not let go of any opportunity.
Looking back, Blaylock relied on his footsteps to break through Mark Jackson and assist Mutombo on the inside, but unfortunately, the ball was hit iron under Olajuwon's defense, and Horry, who was shrunk back to the interior defense, accurately held the basketball, and saw Garnett, who was already fast, a long pass through the whole court, Garnett received the ball and flashed Lightner's steal, dribbled the ball twice, and strode into the paint area, and a wonderful one-armed windmill was staged.
After the dunk, Garnett raised his hands and made a crucifixion gesture, which was booed by the Hawks fans.
The Rockets quickly started chasing the wind after the timeout, and the Hawks felt a lot of pressure, and the old Rockets used their rhythm to control the game on the court.
Seeing this situation, Lenny Wilkens couldn't sit still, and hurriedly called a timeout.
Picked up the tactics board and said to Leitner: "Christian, I don't know what you're afraid of, is that the tall skinny kid of the Rockets more terrible than Malone in terms of physical confrontation, I hope you can keep an eye on him, when attacking, I want you to join the fight for the interior line more, Deacon Bay needs helpers, an interior helper, not a pitcher waiting for an opportunity on the outside, do you understand." ”
"Understood."
Lightner nodded heavily.
"Okay everyone, strengthen the zone defense, don't give the Rockets too many shots, go on, boys, let's start the game." Wilkens gave a few more words to the Eagles' players, and the Eagles players began to appear on the court and ready to start playing.
The Rockets players also saw the Hawks' personnel on the court and began to prepare to continue playing.
The Eagles continued to attack, and according to Wilkens' tactics just now, Leitner began to actively go deep into the interior line, began to respond to Mutombo's offense, and more of a cover for his teammates.
Little by little, the Eagles also brought the situation between the two sides to a stalemate.
In this kind of back and forth, the first quarter of the game between the Rockets and the Hawks is over.
At 23:21, the Rockets were just 2 points ahead.
Looking at the old man who was a little out of breath, Lao Tang shook his head slightly, and thought to himself: It's really unforgiving.
Immediately, Lao Tang picked up the tactics board and arranged the tactics of the second quarter.
"Everyone, be optimistic about the position I draw, the Eagles are doing zone defense now, with defensive experts like Mutombo, they can do this, as long as they guard their position, when the opponent is attacking, they can drive the opponent's position on the position of Mutombo, so that they can easily form more defense and less, after the start of the second quarter, you replace Hakim in the bus, when attacking, you attract more in the high position, if Mutombo comes out and lets you go, then their interior line is left with a Leitner, I think Kevin is very good at dealing with him, and if he doesn't come out, then it's good, you just cast him out. Dejan, you replace Mark, command the game on the court, use your height more, Blaylock's height is much different from you, Ray you replace Clyde, Smith is the same pitcher, and can make breakthroughs, you have to be careful, but his aggression is not very big, I think you can handle it. Okay, guys, your opponents are great, but don't be afraid, they are not your opponents, let go and fight, the victory is yours. ”
After finishing speaking, Lao Tang motioned for everyone to get ready to play.
As the second quarter began, the bus visibly began to pull the Eagles' defense outward.
Bodi Roga held the ball outside the three-point line and watched the bus have no one to defend, raised his hand and passed the ball over Blaylock's head, and the ball went to the bus, with only a 35-year-old old man by his side, Corbyn, trying to interfere with him, but the difference in height and weight was too big.
The bus opened its hand and hit a mid-range shot with a "swish".
Corbyn could only helplessly watch his big Chinese man spread his hands against him, and then stepped back to defend this time.
When it was the Eagles' turn to attack, Mutombo leaned on the big Chinese man behind him, felt the power of the mountain behind him, and thought to himself: This rocket found such a monster from there, and it is not worse than the shark in Los Angeles in terms of strength, and just now he threw in a mid-range shot, such a player can only play as a substitute in the rocket, and the bench of this rocket is really deep.
Mutombo took the ball, leaned back slightly, tested the defense of the bus, and then turned suddenly, his body was facing the bus, and played a hook hand, Mutombo's height and the width of his body, the bus could only watch the ball and get into the basket.
On the contrary, the Rockets attacked, and the Rockets continued to play the tactics pulled out by the center, watching that Mutombo still did not follow out to defend, but Leitner came out to defend the bus.
The bus thought to himself: You don't know, Kevin also has a shot.
I thought about it, but the movement in my hand didn't stop, and with a flip of my wrist, the basketball was quickly transferred to Garnett's hand.
Garnett did not hesitate to receive the ball, opened his hand and threw it, "swish" in the second hit.
The Rockets hit two consecutive mid-range shots, leaving Wilkens frowning.
The Rockets have identified the Eagles' weak spots, and once Mutombo is pulled out of the interior, then the Rockets will begin to assault the interior.
In this way, the eagles who have lost ground are bound to lose.
He looked back at his player.
Raised his hand and called Alan Henderson over and said: "Allen, you go on the court to replace Corbyn, if the center of the Rockets is pulling out you go up to defend, tell Deacon Bey, give me a tight hold on to the basket, understand no." ”
Alan Henderson nodded and said, "I understand, coach. ”
Sure enough, after replacing Henderson, the Rockets' offense was temporarily suppressed.
The two sides returned again and again, and they were in a stalemate.
At the whole time, the Rockets' outside line began to erupt suddenly, Bodi Roga used his height to hit 2 consecutive shots, Ray Allen was used to block and hit a three-pointer, and in just 1 and a half minutes, the Rockets hit a 7:0, and quickly expanded the score to about 10 points with 5 minutes left in the game.
Seeing the mutated form on the field, Lao Tang was elated, and Wilkens was full of sadness.
The powerful attack power of the rocket is clear at a glance, just when the rocket celebrates that he is starting to take the lead, he is defending Mutombo's bus, and suddenly falls to the ground, only to see a hole in the brow bone of the bus.
It turned out that when Mutombo attacked just now, he waved his arms to get rid of the entanglement of the bus, and the flying elbow hit the eyebrow bone of the bus at once, and blood flowed out immediately.
Seeing this, Garnett immediately stepped forward to question Mutombo.
"You didn't mean to." Garnett's face was full of murder.
Because everyone in the alliance knows that Mutombo's elbow is a big killer in the alliance.
Mutombo didn't want to give in, "Hey, boy, be careful when you speak, it's just an accident." ”
"I don't think it was an accident, you did it on purpose." Ray Allen also rushed up and questioned Mutombo.
At this time, the referee also came up, looked at the situation in front of him, motioned for the bus to get off the field for treatment, and changed out of the bloody clothes.
Looking at his teammates who were arguing with Mutombo on the field, Da Ba said a flat sentence, Da Ba said: "Guys, I believe he didn't mean it, if he did it on purpose, he would have been off the field with me by now, and I will be back in the second half, Deacon Beybe, I believe you didn't mean it, but I don't want my teammates to be hurt by this kind of unintentional thing, in fact, I don't want anyone to get hurt." After speaking, he took the gauze handed by the team doctor, covered the wound, and went down to check.
That faint murderous aura permeated the air, and Mutombo was also shocked, and suddenly remembered the combat effectiveness of this Chinese kid, fortunately he didn't do it this time, but people have already warned in the language, and it seems that he should pay attention.
Lao Tang quickly replaced Big Ben, and the Rocket was ready to start the fast attack mode, because Big Ben did not have the ability to shoot, so the Rocket couldn't pull the Eagle's inner line, and the Rocket could only turn on the fast attack mode.
Let's not talk about the performance of the Rocket's players on the court, the Rocket's team doctor off the court looked at the wound and said: "Necessary stitches, the wound is too big, if you don't stitch it's not conducive to healing, now let's go to the hospital immediately." After saying that, the team doctor began to pack his things and asked the bus to follow him to the hospital.
The bus glanced at the team doctor and said, "Can you get stitches?" ”
The team doctor nodded a little stunned and said, "Yes, but I don't have anesthetic." ”
The bus nodded and said, "No need to be anesthetic, you can sew me up here, I want to watch my teammates play." ”
The dumb team doctor said, "It's going to hurt." ”
The bus smiled indifferently and said, "Come on." ”
The team doctor glanced at the old soup on the side, and the old soup understood, stepped forward and said, "Dabus, we can win this game without you, but your wounds must be treated." ”
Daba shook his head firmly and said, "Coach, I want to fight with my teammates, and I also want to see if anyone hurts my teammates with despicable means. ”
Looking at the bus with firm eyes, Lao Tang was a little shaken, he could completely exercise the right of the head coach and forcibly let the bus go for treatment.
However, he can't strip a basketball player of the right to fight with his teammates.
Looking at the gaze of the bus, Lao Tang couldn't help but nodded.
After seeing Lao Tang nodding, the team doctor looked surprised, not only asked again, but said, "It's really here." ”
The bus said firmly, "Yes, right here." ”
The team doctor looked at the firm bus and the old soup with some acquiescence on the side, and said helplessly: "It will hurt a lot, you have to endure it." ”
The bus didn't say anything, just nodded.
At the home court of the Hawks, under the watchful eyes of the fans, the Rockets' team doctor took out the stitches and began to stitch them.
Although it was only a short 5 stitches, it seemed that all the physical strength of the team doctor had been exhausted, and his hands trembled to end this minor operation.
During this time, the bus sat there like a sculpture, without moving.
Seeing this situation, the hearts of the players on both sides changed differently.
The morale and mood of the Rockets are getting higher and higher, and the players of the Hawks are looking over there in shock.
To the applause of the fans, the Rockets ended the first half of the game.
57:45
The Rockets ended the first half with a 12-point lead.
