Date: March 26, 1998

Location: City Square Arena

Character: Reggie Miller

Now the game between the Rockets and the Pacers has entered its final moments.

With 17 seconds left, the Rockets temporarily led by three points.

However, no Rockets player would dare to be careless, because their opponent is Reggie Miller.

A man who dares to be the enemy of the whole world.

After the start of the game, Cassel and Mullin were sandwiched Daniels like a madman, and Daniels, who controlled the ball, was suppressed on the baseline and had no way to act.

Just when Daniels felt that the ball was about to be lost, he couldn't control the ball a little.

Then I heard someone shouting, "Antonio, here." ”

Daniels didn't have time to see who it was, so he jumped up and turned the ball in the direction of the sound.

It was Saulius, who saw him pull the ball and turn around, dodge Reggie Miller, who pounced, and quickly threw the ball forward.

Garnett, who was in the middle of the court, jumped up and grabbed the basketball, and used his body to protect the basketball and handed it to Daniels, who had already thrown off the defender.

A series of actions of the rocket took nearly 8 seconds.

Just when Daniels brought the ball outside the Pacers' three-point line, Cassel, who had been thrown away, had already chased after him, fell to the ground violently, and quickly stabbed the ball in Daniels' hand.

Daniels, who was a little careless, didn't expect the opponent to be so desperate, and the basketball in his hand suddenly lost control and rushed forward.

And the direction of the outburst is the sideline.

Just when everyone thought that the ball would definitely go out of bounds, the Rockets could continue to control the ball, and the game ended in victory for the Rockets, a Pacers player in a yellow jersey pounced.

Almost parallel to the floor, the whole person was thrown out. But the ball that was about to land was firmly caught and thrown back.

With a "bang", the man had fallen heavily to the ground.

Dale Davis, the big man at 6'11, threw himself out for a ball.

Dale Davis, who fell to the ground, couldn't estimate his pain at all, and rolled on the ground and got up.

Looking at the basketball that he desperately rescued, Mullin, who was standing near the halfline, regardless of Horry, who had already sprinted over, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and then shrank to meet the powerful collision with Horry.

"Bang" was another violent impact.

Mustlin endured the pain and dizziness and flicked the ball towards the Rockets' halfcourt, and the ball found exactly what was already in the hands of Reggie Miller, who was already lying in ambush outside the three-point line.

The whole time, there were 3 seconds left in the clock.

It's heaven and it's hell.

I can only watch the last 3 seconds.

Reggie Miller, who received the ball, did not panic at all, held the ball steadily, glanced at the basket, and pushed the ball out very gently.

At the moment when he made a move, a big white hand appeared in front of Reggie Miller's eyes, and Miller smiled in his heart: You just sealed your hand on my face, and this ball also went in, this is completely the feeling of your hand, and you can't stop it.

However, Miller found out that it was a rushing block, so he was even less worried.

He believed that the person in front of him now no longer had the physical strength to cover him.

However, after the ball was shot, Miller noticed that the basketball flight trajectory was a little unnatural.

Could it be that this kid really touched the ball.

After landing on the ground, Saullius yelled at Garnett, who was already running to the basket, "Kevin, rebound." ”

As Miller could see, the basketball didn't fly on a normal trajectory and hit the hoop straight away.

It popped out with a bang.

Garnett, who was standing under the basket, held the ball in his arms at the end of the game.

As the bell rang, Garnett slammed the ball to the floor.

With a hideous roar on his face, this game was not easy.

If there is an idiom to describe it, it is ups and downs.

All the Rockets players were celebrating and roaring.

Reggie Miller indifferently said to the white boy in front of him, "You just met, that ball." ”

Saulus nodded and said, "Yes, a little, a little bit to change its flight trajectory." Then he reached out and gestured to where he had touched.

Reggie Miller took one look, then shook his head and said, "You're in luck. ”

Saulus shook his head very seriously and said: "No, you are wrong, this is strength, we are qualified to have the strength to win this game." ”

Looking at the serious boy in front of him, Reggie Miller patted Saullius with a wry smile and said, "Man, let's exchange jerseys, I'm optimistic about you." ”

Hearing this, a smile also bloomed on Saulus's serious face, and he said: "Reggie, in fact, I like you very much, and it is my wish to exchange jerseys with you." ”

Reggie Miller smiled, then took off his jersey and swapped jerseys with Saullius.

After swapping jerseys, Saullius joined the Rockets' celebration group.

Miller, on the other hand, comforted his teammates.

101：98

The Rockets relied on their last-ditch efforts and luck to get a hard-fought victory over the Pacers.

After the game, Lao Tang said to his players who have been members of the coaching staff.

This year's Pacers already have what it takes to challenge the Bulls, if they're a bit lucky.

Maybe our opponent in this year's Finals is the Pacers.

After the Rockets' win over the Pacers on the road, the Rockets are on an eight-game winning streak.

Those who supported the Rockets once again saw the incomparably powerful Rockets and continued to gallop on the court.

All the voices that slandered the Rockets dissipated after the Rockets defeated the Pacers.

In such an atmosphere, the Rockets rushed to Orlando to challenge the Magic.

After Orlando lost to the Rockets on the road, Chuck Daley, the commander of the Bad Boys at the time, wondered if he could add some trouble to the Rockets.

He knew that the strength of the magic could not be compared to the rockets, but it was this old boy who wanted to see some problems for them.

Just as the Rockets set foot in Orlando to continue their fourth road trip.

Dawson, the general manager of the Rockets, who has been missing for a long time, is working with his boss to map the future of the Rockets' new home court.

"I said, my general manager, you have been missing for a long time, and I am about to become the general manager of the rocket during this time, why do you want to come back now." Tiger looked at Dawson, whose face was covered with dust, and teased.

"Hehe, boss, isn't this the recent I have devoted myself to the construction of the new stadium, in this way, there are a lot of things to delay, I apologize to you, now the construction of the new stadium has been on the right track, all the things that need to be approved have passed, and the rest can be handed over to the infrastructure department to finish the game, and I may also return to the club's work in the next time." Dawson said apologetically.

"Forget it, Dawson, look at you like this, you don't have so much energy even when you come back to work, you take a week's vacation first, take a good rest, and then come to work, or you will be tired, I will go there to find such a capable general manager." Tiger felt a little sorry for his general manager.

"Hehe, okay, then my thank you, boss." Dawson was also a little moved, it is not easy to meet a good boss.

Nowadays, too many rich people like to be rigid and self-serving, and just do things according to their own likes and dislikes.

There are too few bosses like Tiger who know how to play and how to operate.

"Dawson, you've already seen the specific model of the new arena, I've seen it before, it's still being flown in, can you describe it to me, how about our new arena." Tiger also has a strong desire to learn.

"Okay, boss, I'll tell you." As he spoke, Dawson took out a notepad and wanted Tiger to tell the story.

Dawson concluded: "All the Rockets players are happy that they are in the new arena. It is indeed quite a difficult thing to be able to satisfy everyone and get enough space. Now, we've done it. The Rockets have a high-end training ground, decent offices, an athletes' lounge, and a huge space. Compared to the Compaq Centre of yesteryear, our team seems to have entered a world of dreams. ”

"Hehe, man, you've done a great job, only a stadium like this can be matched with the Rockets' future results are honorable. I think all those who care about and love rockets will be happy. Tiger was also excited.

"Don't worry, boss, the Rockets will definitely become the greatest team in the history of the league, and they will also be the temple in the hearts of basketball players all over the world in the future." Dawson was glad he had met such a boss, someone who would allow him to achieve his greatest career.

"Alright, Dawson, it's still early to say that, you can go home and rest for a few days. Then, I also had a good rest for a few days, you know, I also have a girlfriend, hehe. Tiger said shamelessly.

Seeing the boss who was a little off the line, Dawson could only leave without saying a word, and gave Dawson a big roll of his eyes before leaving.

Just as Tiger and Dawson were sketching out the future of the rocket.

The Rockets are in Orlando and have some minor troubles.

After losing Hardaway, Orlando paid more attention to overall basketball, fast running, and smooth passing.

All of this makes the rocket a little uncomfortable.

In the first quarter of the game, the Rockets trailed by five points.

Lao Tang saw such a quick adjustment, don't you want to compare with the overall basketball.

Okay, I will too.

The Rockets have replaced international players like Bodi Roga, Saulius, and Daba, plus players like Marik Rose and Ray Allen.

Under the leadership of Bodi Roga, he also played overall basketball.

This time, you can see the ability of the players themselves and the execution of tactics.

The players who have been cultivated under the international basketball rules system are more selfless, pay more attention to team cooperation, and the mercury-like offense completely fails when Chuck Daley, the old guy's mind.

When Chuck Daley replaced his main player with a wry smile in the second half of the third quarter, the game was already doomed.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Magic 100:85.

It has won 4 consecutive away games and 9 consecutive wins since losing to the Jazz.

On the 30th of this month, the Rockets will welcome the last opponent of their road trip, and the team that has defeated them before.

Miami heat.

The rocket war is hot, and it starts right away, and the rocket is ready for revenge.
