"Guys, you did a good job today, but you didn't have a lot of luck today." Tiger comforted the Rockets.

"No, Mr. President, I think we were miserable today, we held on until the end but we still lost the game in the end, we need to reflect." Olajuwon said in a low voice.

"Yes, Hakim is right, if we had established an advantage in the beginning, we wouldn't have been killed like this, and it really hurts morale." Lao Tang also expressed his opinion.

"Hehe, guys, I don't think so, it's impossible for a team to win all, and a chance defeat can inspire confidence and determination. As long as we know ourselves correctly, then today's game will allow us to gain more. "Tiger cheers up his players.

"I'm sure you, guys, the Jazz just won by luck today, and we're not going to fall in the same place twice." Lao Tang also realized that it was now a morale booster.

"Okay, go back today and have a good rest, save up enough energy, we will have a lot of work to do." Tiger clapped his hands and let everyone meet in their room.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

"Kevin, wait a minute." Olajuwon called Garnett.

"What's the matter, Hakim." Garnett turned back to Olajuwon, who had stopped him.

"Come to my room." Olajuwon said.

"Right now, I'll send my things back to my room." Ganeji nodded, turned back to his room and put his things down before heading to Olajuwon's room.

"Sit down, Kevin, what do you want to drink?" Olajuwon motioned for Garnett to sit down.

"Thanks, bring me a glass of water." Garnett politely replied.

"Hehe, Kevin, when did you like and Qingshui." Olajuwon said with a smile and poured Garnett a glass of water.

"It's nothing, I just think that drinking water now can calm my mood a little better, after all, losing in the Western Conference Finals is a very unpleasant thing." Garnett shrugged.

"Actually, you don't have to be Kevin, you should know that this is a series, we can't guarantee that we can win every game, you have to know that the Jazz are also a strong team, Malone and Stockton are old partners who have been together for more than ten years, and it is normal to lose a game to them." Olajuwon looked at this very competitive sophomore and was very pleased, and he knew that only such a player could carry the banner of the Rockets.

"But Hakim I don't want to lose. Really, it was really hard for Hakim to feel like that. Garnett said indignantly.

"Hehe, Kevin, I was just like you when you were your age, and I liked the feeling of victory, and that feeling was wonderful. But as time went on, I finally understood one thing, the desire for victory is very right, but if you are too obsessed with victory, then victory will be far away from you, you have to understand that we also have the kind of time when a game can decide life and death. So I hope you can let go of your obsession with the outcome of this game and devote yourself to the next game. Olajuwon smiled at the kid in front of him, telling him about his experience and experience.

"Hakim, I know what you wanted to call me over today, and I know you mean well. But don't worry, I'm going to deal with the next game with the best mentality, it won't happen in the game, I'm going to deal with the game with a normal mind, I'm depressed that we didn't win today. Garnett is full of respect for this veteran who has experienced more than ten years of NBA years, and he admires young people like him even more for his words and deeds, and his ability to make such great progress in the Rockets is inseparable from the care of such a big brother.

"Hehe, you're relieved when you know me. Go on, man, go back and get some rest. "Olajuwon is very happy with this kid.

After that, Olajuwon communicated with the other players in the team to stabilize the internal mood of the team, and the whole team basically did not have any bad emotions about this game.

The next day, in a calm atmosphere, the rocket began to train regularly.

In the fourth Western Conference Finals that followed, the Rockets showed amazing tenacity.

Garnett was hit by Malone with a big elbow and broke the corner of his mouth, blood flowed, and he received 3 stitches without anesthetic off the court, and then put on a band-aid to continue the fight.

Shanton Anderson fell to the floor on a flying save from the bench and collided with his head on a courtside stool, nearly unconscious.

Ben Wallace was knocked down by a knee hit by Stockton on a layup and didn't get up for half a day.

Ostertag slapped Bodi Rogara to the canvas.

Even this did not stop the rocket attack.

Seeing that his players were repeatedly violated, Big Dream stood up.

Opposite the head of the horse's dragon, roaring loudly.

Said: What are you capable of coming at me?

Pick up Anderson and carry him off the field.

Stockton's reluctance to hit people made Stockton feel that this ordinary honest man was mad.

Ostertag was almost scolded by Olajuwon.

Then he broke the Jazz's resistance with the most violent attack.

With a total of 35 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, he led the Rockets to a 96-91 victory over the Jazz.

They led the Jazz 3-1 in the big score.

Be the first to get the match point.

After the end of this game.

Major media rushed to report.

Such a terrible dream, if and Jordan meet in the finals.

It would have been one of the most iconic scenes in NBA history.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

And the rocket did not disappoint.

In Game 5, the Rockets lost 102-95.

But the spirit of the whole team did not languish at all.

In the sixth game back to Houston.

The Rockets completely defeated the Jazz with a score of 108:88.

Advance to the finals with your head held high.

And the Eastern Conference Finals are even more exciting.

After the Heat reversed the Knicks, they finally had a chance to play against the Bulls. (The Knicks were just too angry, and they lost that opportunity by playing massive PK in Game 5.) )

Bulls Heat.

Zen master to godfather.

Although the godfather would love his team to give the Bulls a little color.

However, it is a pity that the Bulls have more experience.

Jordan's 37 points and Pippen's 24 points gave the Bulls an 84-77 lead.

In the second game, the Heat and Bulls started a defensive battle.

The Heat's five starters shot less than 40 percent of their shots.

The team only had a shooting rate of less than 34%.

The Bulls were also good at that, with the leader only shooting 4-of-15.

But he scored 15 points from the free throw line, as many as the Heat as a team.

In the end, with Pippen's 23 points and Hubble's 11 points, the Bulls defeated the Heat 75-68.

In the third game, the bulls, who had already figured out the details of the heat, went on a killing spree.

The Heat, who defended the game, hit 21 shots and turned over a whopping 32 times.

The Bulls had 19 steals.

In this way, the Bulls slaughtered the Heat by 24 points.

In the fourth, the Bulls relaxed a little, and the Heat were united.

Tim Hardaway had 25 points, Mourning had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Mashburn and Leonard also had 17 and 13 points respectively.

The Heat pulled one back by seven points.

And in Game 5, the Bulls didn't give the Heat any chance, although Pippen only played 7 minutes with an injury.

Jordan had 28 points, Longley and Harbour both had 14 points, and Rodman had 13 rebounds.

The Bulls advanced to the Finals 100-87.

And the two strongest teams in the 96-97 season finally met in the finals.

Rockets vs. Bulls.

Imminent.
