The Rockets also paid a huge price for the Rockets' hard-fought victory over the furious sharks on their home court, as Olajuwon was injured and was elbowed in the hand by O'Neal while defending O'Neal, causing a muscle injury in his forearm and missing at least six games.

Watching Olajuwon leave with a sweaty head in pain, all the players of the Rockets looked at their big brother with feelings, and they were very depressed and resentful, you let a 37-year-old man suffer such pain is a shame for any young Rocket.

With a lot of rage, the Rockets welcomed their next opponent, the Charlotte Hornets.

With the change of history, Francis, who was originally thrown into the rocket, is now in Charlotte, although his desire to go to Houston, New York and other megacities has failed, but at least Charlotte is much stronger than the cold place in Vancouver, in this known 'green city', Charlotte, who is full of energy, his legs are full of explosive power, and he is doing folding layups in the air, and started his career in this city.

After the start of the game, although the Rockets still have the advantage on the court, but in the defense of the backcourt, Bodiloga really can't deal with it alone, and often needs Ray? Aaron stepped forward to help.

Francis, who had just entered the NBA, was so passionate, kicking up his explosive legs and constantly impacting the Rockets' backcourt.

In the face of such an opponent, Bodi Loga really can't keep up with the footsteps of his opponent, so he can only rely on Ray? Allen assisted in defense, although Francis also couldn't stop Bodiloga's breakthrough on offense, but he Francis alone still posed a great threat to the Rockets' backcourt.

Old Tang thought for a moment, Bodiloga was replaced, and Daniels was substituted. Such a change made Francis suppressed all of a sudden, a height, strength, speed, no worse than him, and Daniels, who has a wealth of game experience, is not something that Francis can deal with now.

So far, the Rockets have plugged the last loophole, the Rockets' inside line takes turns to play, Da Yao, Muhammad plus the starting big Ben, so that the Hornets' inside line has suffered enough, now in terms of offensive ability alone, Da Yao is in the top five among the league's centers, but the defense, is still a few streets behind, but Da Yao's side is full of defensive strongmen, Muhammad, Big Ben, Garnett, and even Horry, Haprin, Saullius are all defensive experts, if anyone wants to be uncomfortable, dare to find something on the inside of the Rockets, These people will surely satisfy him.

When the game ended, Francis looked at the huge score gap with a wry smile, very helpless, because he knew that this was no longer something he could change, and the huge gap in strength made the Hornets lose completely.

Francis watched Da Yao celebrate the victory with his opponent, and the bitterness in his heart gradually increased to the laughter of his opponent, and Francis secretly thought in his heart: Am I really worse than that Chinese.

Not to mention Francis's psychological changes, after the Rockets defeated the Hornets 110-95, they quietly waited for the arrival of their smaller opponent, which is also their most expected and coveted opponent now.

On February 4, 2000, the Rockets welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers, a team that made the Rockets suffer greatly, and the whole Rockets team was ready to give the opponent a lifelong lesson.

However, when the 76ers arrived in Houston, a reporter asked Allen? Iverson, ask him what he thinks of the Rockets' game today? What are the odds of winning?

Alan? "We can beat them once, we can beat them a second time, and many more times, the Rockets are not so invincible, we can win by 15 points at home, and this time is the same," Iverson said proudly. ”

Alan? Iverson's remarks completely angered the Rockets, and all the players of the Rockets were secretly gritting their teeth to give their teammates a good look, a huge good look.

Lao Tang looked at the Rocket players who were brewing a storm, just smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Guys, if you want to shut up that little gangster, there are only 2 ways, one is a big victory that is so huge that they will always remember, and the other is to kill them at the last second, just like they treated us last time, you choose for yourself, I don't want to say anything more." ”

After saying this, he sat down on the side, didn't care about anything, and waited for the Rockets players to discuss their own solutions.

Seeing Lao Tang hand over the final choice to the players themselves, Brooks was also strange for a while, and asked in a low voice beside Lao Tang: "Coach, what do you mean by doing this." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lao Tang's mouth, and he whispered: "Sometimes, letting the players choose by themselves can play a positive role, just watch it." ”

Brooks nodded knowingly, and then quickly took out his notepad and recorded today's events.

The Rockets players who made a lot of noise finally reached an agreement, the Rockets want to strive for a big win, a super big win, if there is no big win, then grind with the 76ers to the end of the game, and then kill them.

However, it will be very dangerous when it comes to lore, because not every lore can be scored, that is, when the 76ers beat the Rockets, Allen? Iverson's lore was also blinded.

Just when everyone was discussing who would carry out the final lore, the thunder who had already finished cleaning up and was ready to play? Aaron stood in the middle of the crowd and said in a deep voice: "If you really want to carry out a lore, then I will come, and all the responsibilities will be handed over to me." ”

Rockets players looking at Ray? Allen's resolute attitude was silent, everyone knew the last game against the 76ers, Ray? What did Aaron experience, this time since Ray? Aaron wants to settle this grudge with his own hands, so leave it to him.

When the two players came on the court, the hostility between the two sides reached its peak, and Iverson dangled to Garnett's side and whispered: "Kevin, I watched your game against the Lakers, you guys are really good." ”

Garnett looked at the extremely arrogant kid before the game and didn't want to deal with him, but the leader of the home team, he can't be rude, after all, the 76ers are now the away team.

Thinking of this, Garnett smiled and said: "Fortunately, your recent results are also good, the addition of Mutombo allows you to attack with confidence and not worry about defense." ”

Iverson nodded and said, "Man, I came here to tell you that what I said to the media at the airport that day was just a strategic need, and I hope you don't mind." ”

Garnett was stunned when he heard it, he really didn't expect that this unruly guy in the whole league could come here to apologize to the Rockets, which is a miracle, but what Iverson said next made him completely throw away the good feeling just now, and listened to Iverson continue: "However, I still said that today's game must be the 76ers, because we are ready for this." ”

Garnett suppressed the anger in his heart after hearing this, and whispered: "Enough, Aaron is not playing any tricks, let's talk on the court and use basketball." ”

Iverson shrugged his shoulders indifferently and returned to his own half, waiting for the game to begin.

When the game started, the Rockets' display of combat power let the 76ers' players know the consequences of angering the Rockets. However, the 76ers are still resisting stubbornly, because there is one person who is still fighting stubbornly, and that is Allen? Iverson, you can dismiss his arrogance, but you can't say anything about his fighting spirit, he's the kind of guy who fights to the end as long as I'm on the field, he's the kind of guy who does his best to win the last thing, you can dislike him, but you can't disrespect him.

This person is Aaron? Iverson, a courageous fighter, is no longer fighting alone, and Mutombo has become Iverson's most trusted backing.

The game was fierce and brutal, with Iverson's teammates meeting the rocket's fire with their chests, and Iverson, like Don Quixote, brandished his spear and slammed the rocket's huge windmill.

Thunder? Aaron stared at the little man in front of him, he knew that he was much worse than Iverson in absolute speed, and all he could rely on was his own prediction. However, if you want to rely on prediction to prevent Iverson, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel, and Iverson's speed cannot be prevented by prediction.

Watching Iverson break through himself with his speed again and again, Ray? Allen just silently endured Iverson's wind-like breakthroughs again and again, and then watched him continue to kill the inside line of the rockets.

Although, the addition of Mutombo has multiplied the combat effectiveness of the 76ers, but is the Rockets' interior line so easy to deal with? The answer is obviously not, the Rockets interior community with Garnett as the core of the interior line launched a wild offensive against the 76ers' interior line, Mutombo is not an invincible existence in the world, in the face of the Rockets led by Garnett, he is also a little unbearable, Garnett looked at Mutombo who stretched out his big hand in front of him to prepare for defense, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, you are not young anymore, the NBA is no longer suitable for you, you can quickly farm in Africa." ”

Mutombo looked at the young man in front of him and whispered: "Young man, I know it's very hot now, but if you want to deal with me, you are a little tender, come on, boy, let me see what tricks you have." ”

Garnett bared his snow-white teeth and smiled, "Then look at it, old man." ”

Garnett suddenly grabbed the basketball and cut directly to Mutombo's side, Mutombo moved horizontally, strode forward and directly pasted Garnett, and put his hands directly on Garnett's waist, just when Mutombo had blocked Garnett, Garnett turned around and turned back to the starting point of his attack again, opening his hand is a mid-range shot, at this time Mutombo was already a little worse than Garnett's footsteps, and could only watch Garnett open his hand to hit a mid-range shot.

Garnett, who completed the goal, looked at Mutombo and said: "Look uncle, the NBA is really not for you." ”

At this moment, Mutombo's black face had turned purple eggplant, and looking at Garnett's blow, there was really nothing he could do.

The Rocket's interior attack and Mutombo can withstand it, but there is only one Snow on the outside line, so not everyone can withstand it.

Thunder? Allen, Bodiloga added an explosive Saullius, and the Rockets' outside group started their own show.

To say that Iverson's offense is very good, but the defense is much worse, and several people in the backcourt are the ones who can blow him up.

However, the craziest thing today is going to be Thunder? Allen, although he can't prevent Iverson when he is defending, but in terms of offense, Iverson can't prevent him either.

The continuous breakthroughs gave Iverson a huge physical drain, which was also a tactic they formulated at the beginning, consuming Iverson's physical energy and energy.

It seemed that their tactics were still successful, and by the end of the first quarter, Iverson was already a little out of breath. On the other hand, although the Rockets consume a lot of money, they have a lot of people who play the ball, which can be rotated, and with strong defense, the 76ers are forced to devote more physical strength to the offense.

Looking at Iverson, who was already a little out of breath, a sneer appeared at the corner of Lao Tang's mouth, and he secretly thought in his heart: Iverson just made a mistake in his positioning, a small man with a height of 1.83 meters, always likes to rush into the inner line and go hand-to-hand with a group of big men, aren't you looking for death. This positioning has determined your life's achievements, you may be a number player, but you will definitely not be a core player on a championship team.

The second quarter of the game continued the tense atmosphere between the two sides, and Ray? Allen still endured Iverson's breakthroughs again and again, but Ray? Allen still endured it so silently, because he knew his responsibility, and put huge pressure on Iverson at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so that he did not have the physical strength and energy to survive to the end.

The defense can't be prevented, but on the offensive end, as long as Snow assists in defense, then the vacant Bodiloga will definitely send the basketball into the opponent's basket, so that Iverson can only be forced to defend Ray alone? Aaron, so you can only watch Iverson being thundered again and again? Aaron's strong beating.

Larry? Brown squatted on the sidelines and drove the old soup, full of helplessness: This is obviously to give Iverson to me today, and the Rockets' performance of players in other positions today has made the Rockets the biggest winner today.

Now the score difference between the two sides has been 10 points, and the Rockets are expanding the score gap between the two sides little by little, and at this time on the court, Iverson is still so determined to break through, firm shooting, looking at the little man who never gives up, Lao Tang is also quite admired on the sidelines.

The game continues, the 76ers continue to lag behind, and the Rockets are also relentlessly biting the 76ers.

By the time halftime came, the Rockets had stretched the score to 15 points.

In the locker room, Lao Tang said coldly: "Boys, now you are 15 points ahead, the last time was when you were 15 points ahead, you were defeated by that little gangster in Philadelphia, if you are beaten by your opponent today, you can find a place to die." ”

Different from the coldness of the old soup, the atmosphere on the 76ers' side is very warm, because Larry? Brown is roaring, just listen to Larry? Brown yelled, "What game did you play in the first half, were you walking, and only when your chrysanthemums were blown up by rockets did you think of resisting?" It cheered me up from the second half, we're in Houston, not Philadelphia, so let's get ready to play." ”

The third quarter of the game quickly began in the hustle and bustle of Rockets fans, although the 76ers players have put their most energy into the game, but in the face of the Rockets who began to explode in the cheers of the Rockets home fans, the 76ers already know that they have no possibility of winning this game.

Because, they saw the Rockets who had gone crazy, yes, the Rockets who had begun to go crazy, how crazy they were, let's go to the score after the third quarter.

100:60 It took the Rockets three quarters to lead their opponents by 40 points.

When the third quarter of the game ended, the Rockets players looked at the 76ers players who had become numb, and their hearts were filled with joy.

On the sidelines, Garnett whispered, "Guys, do you say we're going to continue." Enough is enough for them to teach them a lesson now. ”

Before Garnett's words fell, a voice sounded behind Garnett: "Why don't you continue, you have to know if Iverson is an easy person to deal with, will he give up?" ”

When everyone looked back, they saw Tiger appear behind them with a grim face, and they heard Tiger continue: "Are you taking pity on your opponent? Do you think you're strong enough? Can you take any opponent lightly? If that's the case, then you can go home, because you're no longer a professional, and if you put it on another team, the game might have been over, but your opponent is the little guy who never gives up, and any carelessness on your part will cause you to fail. ”

The Rockets players listened silently to Tiger's words, and the nerve in their hearts that had been relaxed.

Thunder? After listening to Tiger's words, Aaron took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Guys, let's return the shadow of the last defeat to the people of Phillies and to Aaron." ”

After saying that, he walked to the court with a cold face, and when the fourth quarter of the game began, people were surprised to find that the Rockets did not let the main players off the court, but continued to let them fight on the court, and what was even more surprising was that when the players of the 76ers had given up.

Iverson was still fighting alone, alone.

A tiger can't defeat a pack of wolves, even if Iverson is a tiger, but his opponent is not a pack of wolves, his opponent is a pack of lions.

When the game ended, the score of 135:83 gave the 76ers a huge shame.

After the game, Ray? Allen walked up to Iverson's side and whispered, "Allen, this is another Allen gift to you, I will give you everything from the last game." ”
