Chapter 229: Pippen is back, and it's not easy

After the Rockets defeated the Jazz on the road, the Rockets went through back-to-back games again, taking on the Timberwolves on the road.

The Timberwolves failed to stop the Rockets, and the bus once again wreaked havoc on the opponent's interior, giving full play to its strengths, strong power, and letting people know that another alliance power maniac has appeared.

In addition to the Rocket's strong shooter group, the Rockets shot 13 of 19 three-pointers in this game, such a shooting rate directly cried to the Timberwolves, and continued their amazing performance in the addition of the bus, the Rockets were 127:90 in the game, so that the Timberwolves knew what a real strong team is.

After slaughtering the Timberwolves on the road, the Rockets are back home to face the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers.

Grizzly bears are still easy to deal with, after all, the strength is there.

The Rockets took the lead and spent 3 knots completely cleaning up the Grizzly Bear.

The bus scored 21 points and 10 rebounds in this game, so that the bus has won a double-double in 7 consecutive games.

This is a very remarkable achievement, and the explosion of the Rockets' substitute center has made people gradually forget the dream of being 36 years old.

However, the current Rockets don't really need this old man to go to the court to fight hard, and the current Olajuwon is just on the court to stabilize the situation when the team is in danger, or when the team is in a scoring drought, step up to break the deadlock for the team.

104:82 The Rockets beat the Grizzlies on their home court.

After defeating the Grizzlies, the Rockets welcomed a strong opponent, the Trail Blazers.

Before the game starts, Paul? Alan continued to harass Tiger, but Tiger was sitting in New York at this time, sweeping the stock of the Nasdaq.

Those who wanted to rip a piece of flesh off Tiger were completely stunned by Tiger's continuous combination punches.

Tiger, who was in an infinitely beautiful mood, heard a burst of laughter when he heard Paul's call, and said, "Hey, I said man, you say, how should I thank you, this ticket is not small, you kid have any requirements, just say." ”

Paul was silent on the other side of the phone for a while and said: "I basically don't lack anything, there is nothing to want, what I hope most now is that the Trail Blazers can win a championship, can you be satisfied with this." ”

Tiger grinned and said, "Man, the conditions you put forward are a bit scratching, and the rest is easy to say." ”

Paul laughed and said, "Haha, I know you won't agree to this condition, so let's do it, tomorrow the Trail Blazers and Rockets are about to play, let's bet something." ”

Tiger touched his nose and said, "That's embarrassing, didn't I take your stuff for nothing." ”

Paul on the other side of the phone was angry and hung up, and heard Paul roar: "You bastard, when our pioneers are given for nothing, you listen to Tiger, I have a castle by the sea in Greece, and today I bet with you on this, tell me what is going on with you kid." ”

Tiger rubbed his ears and said, "Okay, I know that your pioneer was not given for nothing, since you want to gamble, well, I also have a small castle by the sea in Italy." Hey, man, I'm laughing at that little castle of yours. ”

Paul said angrily: "You kid, just wait and cry, hmph, okay, I won't tell you, let's see the results of the game tomorrow." ”

Paul just dropped the phone, not hung up.

Tiger is smiling on the phone, there is no way for someone to send money, there is no way not to accept it.

After laughing for a while, Tiger thought about it and called Lao Tang, who picked up the phone and said, "Boss, is there anything else going on at such a late hour?" ”

Tiger smiled and said, "I watched your game on TV today, and you played well today. But do you have confidence in tomorrow's game against the Trail Blazers? ”

Lao Tang asked Tiger a little strangely, "Boss, when did you care about the regular season?" ”

Tiger smiled and said, "Just now, the boss of the Trailblazers called me. ”

Lao Tang was taken aback at the time and said, "Boss, you didn't let the rocket play match-fixing, right?" ”

Tiger laughed: "Can I do that, you don't know my surname, I made a bet with the Pioneer boss, if he loses, he will give me a castle in Greece near the sea, and if I lose, I will give him a castle by the sea in Italy." Rudy, you're not going to look at your boss, lose a castle and get out. ”

Lao Tang patted his chest on the phone and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's so suspenseful that it scared me to death." However, you two rich people bet that I don't care, I'll do my best to win the game. ”

When Tiger heard this, he said happily: "That's good, you're good, by the way, you go and talk to those stinky boys, just say that if they win today's game, when they travel to these two places, they can live in those two castles for free, play for free, and bring as many people as they want." ”

Seeing the temptation of his boss Chi Guoguo, Lao Tang couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only agree.

In such a situation, the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers began in anticipation of Paul and Tiger.

After the start of the game, the Rockets were under great pressure, and Pippen's comeback injected great impetus into the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers roster is more complete and stronger.

Pippen's comeback has become a bridging agent for the Trail Blazers team, and in the few games of Pippen's comeback, the Trail Blazers have won all of them.

For a time, the spirit of the pioneers reached the highest point.

And this game is the best litmus test for the Trail Blazers' combat effectiveness.

In this way, the two sides entered a white-hot state in the first second of the game, and Pippen's defensive ability was completely integrated into the offense and defense of the Trail Blazers.

In the face of Pippen's defense, Crohill finally realized what it was like to be the best defender in the league.

Pippen can always be where you feel the hardest, and Crohill has missed several shots.

Seeing this situation, Old Tang replaced Crohill with Horry.

Back on the sidelines, Lao Tang whispered to Crohill: "Austin, you kid give me a good look, how Robert attacks and gets rid of the opponent's defense, you still have a lot to learn about these things." ”

Crohill nodded hurriedly, focusing all his attention on the field.

After Horry came on the court, he used continuous blocks to block Pippen and hit two mid-range shots in a row.

Forcing Pippen to be unable to effectively assist in the defense of the inside line, the bus looked at Sabonis, who was ten years older than himself, and played very vigorously, before the game began, Lao Tang told the bus that Sabonis's technology and awareness are super, but his current age and physical condition are at the end of the stream, you can't compare technology with opponents, I want you to compare with him is body is strength.

The bus uses its powerful power to destroy little by little the defense line of the Lithuanian national hero.

Time is merciless, Sabonis behind the bus thought to himself: If I were 10 years younger, not even 5 years old, I would be able to let this hateful yellow-skinned boy in front of me know how good I am, but my knees can't bear such a blow now.

Sabonis could only watch as the bus progressed to the basket and then finished the game.

The first quarter of the game ended in such an entanglement between the two sides, and the two sides were evenly matched, so that the scores of the two sides were also comparable.

At 22:22, the two sides were tied in the first quarter, which also seemed to mean that it was a close game.

After a short break and adjustment, the second quarter of the game continued between the two sides.

After adjustment, Pippen held the ball and looked at Horry in front of him, and said in a low voice: "I said Robert, you kid doesn't even have the position of the main force, what are you doing so desperately." ”

Horry rolled his eyes, glanced at Pippen and said: "Scott, where did you get so much nonsense, you can't even handle me as a substitute, what else can you say, I can only say to you, you are old Scott, there is too much nonsense, and you like to nag." ”

Pippen blushed and said, "Robert, I want you to pay for what you said." ”

Before he could finish speaking, an acceleration burst towards Horry's right.

Horry took an unhurried step and moved sideways, and they were already old rivals, and there was no secret between the two sides.

Pippen's breakthrough is very powerful, but the Rockets' defense is also not to be underestimated, and Garnett and the bus blocked Pippen's assault route with one step.

But what Pippen is waiting for is the opponent's uplift and pinch, and when Pippen breaks through, Rashid? Wallace had already made an arc into the box.

Watching his opponent's pinch strike, Pippen's wrist didn't shake, and the ball found Rashid, who had already stepped into the paint? Wallace, Wallace who took the ball, yelled, got up, and was about to give the opponent a violent dunk, but what people didn't see was that Wallace, who had been vacated by people, just felt that his hand was light, the basketball was gone, and Wallace in the air was already blinded, what was going on, why was the basketball gone.

Actually, it's very simple, when the original Pippen broke through, Horry's lateral move was not to wrap Pippen, he moved to play the inside line to defend Pippen's pass.

As Horry expected, Pippen did pass the ball, and Wallace, who received the ball, didn't notice Horry's presence at all, and Horry's long arm directly stabbed Wallace's injured basketball.

After Horry got the ball, a long pass through the whole court, Bodi Roga, who had already begun to get down, received the basketball, ignoring Damon? Stadamire's defense, one step past the opponent, two big strides into the paint area, soaring, a light running dunk, for the Rockets to add two points.

The goal became the epitome of the second game, and the Rockets' tough defense taught the Trail Blazers what championship-level defense is.

After the offense was suppressed, the Trail Blazers' defense also encountered great problems, although Pippen's defensive ability was very strong, but the 1.78-meter Damon? Stoudamire has completely become a target for the Rockets, and his aggressive defensive attitude cannot make up for the innate gap.

The Rockets' Bodiroga frequently uses his height to play against singles opponents, and as long as Stoudamire switches to that position, he will become a target for singles.

Mike? Dunleavy could only replace Stoudeyer and use Pippen to control the situation on the field.

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers fell into the Rockets' defensive quagmire, and the Rockets' defense really made the Trail Blazers feel what a championship is.

After halftime adjustments, the Trail Blazers tried to make a switch from the third quarter, but the Rockets still firmly controlled the situation on the court.

The Trail Blazers have no chance of turning the tables, and such a powerful control ability is something that even the Bulls of the year never had.

99:91 The Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers on Pippen's comeback home court.

After the game, Pippen sighed in private: I thought I was in the Trail Blazers, relying on Sabonis and Rashid? Wallace's strength can compete with the rocket, but I didn't expect the rocket to be so invincible, even if the big dream has gradually grown old and the glider has been retired, this rocket is still invincible.

After the game, Tiger called Paul with a grin and received the title certificate of the Greek castle, and the villain's triumphant laughter made Paul go on a rampage for 3 days.

However, the news came three days later, and Paul was like a bear who had eaten a dozen cans of honey, smiling happily.

The amount of money he had under Tiger had a rate of return of more than 40%, and there was no commission, and the value of the castle Paul paid for was really too different from the 40%.
