Chapter 193: Farewell to the Red Bull (Part I)
Horry used a three-pointer in the final moments to complete the Rockets' redemption of the first two games and complete the regret of the first two games.
After the game, a reporter interviewed Horry and asked Horry: Haven't you thought about what kind of situation you would have been in if you hadn't scored this goal?
Horry shook his head and said: I didn't think about it, at that moment, I knew I had to hit this goal, this goal was probably the most important goal I have ever scored since I joined the league, and there was no reason why I couldn't score.
The reporter continued to ask: So haven't you hesitated, in the third and fourth games, the Rockets have missed two chances to kill, you one, Ray? Allen once, the moment you received the ball, didn't you hesitate?
Horry heard this question, laughed, and said: At that time, who can still think about that, you just treat basketball as a bomb, if you don't throw it far, you will finish the game, will you still hesitate.
After saying that, the reporter was also a puzzle.
The Rockets players who returned to the locker room were so excited that they yelled in the locker room one by one.
Lao Tang also looked at his players with a smile on his face, and he knew that victory was not far from them.
Tiger also went into the locker room, looked at the excited players, and said loudly: "Guys, you guys are really good. I'm so proud of you. ”
After celebrating in the locker room, Rocket boarded the bus and left the arena and rushed to the hotel.
After a night's rest, we returned to Houston to prepare for Game 6.
The next day, the players returned to Houston and prepared a little.
It's time for Game 6 of their finals.
Before the game, Tiger appeared in the locker room very mysteriously and gave the Rockets players a final word.
After Tiger left, Lao Tang looked at the Rockets players and said with a smile: "I think if you can't win against the Bulls today, you are asking for your own bad luck, beware of the boss giving you small shoes to wear." ”
Olajuwon smiled and said: "Don't worry, coach, we will win today, it is indisputable, Michael can only watch us achieve the final victory on his home turf." ”
Drexler also stood up and said, "Guys, I hope today's fight is the last game of my career, I hope to end my career with a championship, can you help me achieve that." ”
Looking at the two big brothers of his team, Garnett got up and walked to the center of the locker room and said loudly, "Guys, everyone get here." ”
Unexplained Rockets players gathered around, and Garnett said, "Let's think back to our journey over the year. ”
All the players of the Rockets quieted down and touched and recalled, Garnett whispered on the side, the Rockets' journey for a year, I heard him whisper: "In the finals last year, I lost 4:3 to the Bulls, but we brought them the biggest challenge, after a summer break, the Rockets set sail again, we completed the best record of 75-7 in the regular season in the new season, and we advanced to the playoffs with a wave of 21 consecutive wins, in the playoffs Timberwolves, Lakers, In the first two games of the Finals, we proudly defeated the Bulls a year ago on our home court, and then we failed to beat the opponent twice on the road, but in the last game, we beat the opponent by 101:100 and 1 point, completing our redemption of ourselves. Here we are back to our home turf, we are back to our own home, we are back to our family and friends, what else can we be afraid of, we are fearless, we are invincible. ”
Garnett's voice grew little by little, from a deep bass voice to a roar like the ancient Greek god of war, the passionate voice, stimulating the nerves of the rocket player, the language full of magic, knocking on the heart of the rocket player.
Until the last sentence, all the Rockets players were roaring with Garnett and roaring, "We are fearless, we are invincible." ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the Rocket's locker room was extremely strong, and Lao Tang looked at the future soul of the Rocket with great satisfaction, and admired Tiger Wise's wise choice.
Olajuwon yelled, "Let's play." ”
"Roar"
The Rockets roared and rushed to their final battlefield.
The bulls were calm on their side, because their pride didn't allow them to panic, and they had a guy on their team who was called godlike.
Jordan in Phil? After Jackson explained the tactics, he stood in front of the Bulls players and said with a serious expression: "Brothers, today we are fighting against the water, we have no way out, we must win this game, we have a chance to win the 'O'Brien Cup' again, I have nothing more to say, what I can do now is to give my best strength on the court to win, I hope you help me, thank you." ”
After speaking, Jordan bowed deeply to all the Bulls players, and everyone in the Bulls was stunned, Jordan, who has always been arrogant, can actually ask his teammates to help him, which is a great yearning for the final victory.
Pippen was the first to stand up, walked to Jordan's side and said: "Michael, I know your thoughts and your thoughts, we all know your desire to win**, don't you say anything, we are teammates, we are comrades on the battlefield, comrades are people who can rest assured that they will give their backs to their opponents, there is no one who does not want to win, let's fight together." ”
Pippen and Jordan stretched out their hands together, Rodman also came over and put their hands together, Harper, Kukoc, Kerr, Longley and all the other Bulls players put their hands together.
Jordan roared loudly, "Who does the final victory belong to?" ”
"Bull"
"Bull"
"Bull"
The Bulls players were howling hysterically.
The atmosphere of the game was already boiling before the game even started.
Amid the cheers of more than 12,000 fans, Game 6 of the finals between the Houston Rockets and the Chicago Bulls is about to begin.
Olajuwon and Jordan hugged before the game began.
Jordan whispered in Olajuwon's ear: "Hakim, I won't lose to you so easily, the final championship must be ours." ”
Olajuwon smiled coldly and said, "Okay, Michael, don't talk nonsense, we'll see you on the field." ”
In the face of Olajuwon's strength, Jordan also looked coldly, and the sixth game between the two sides began.
As soon as the game began, the Bulls launched a swift attack, Jordan scored eight points in a row under Drexler's defense, and Pippen also threw in two three-pointers.
And the rest of the Bulls also scored, and after only 4 minutes and 30 seconds into the opening game, the Rockets were already 20-11 behind.
Seeing such a situation, the Rockets decisively began to make substitutions, Mark? Jackson was substituted and Bodiroga came on.
After reinforcing the height of the backcourt, the Rockets began to fight back quickly.
Drexler took the ball to face Jordan, Drexler, who broke through with his head down, accelerated past Jordan and directly entered the Bulls' interior, looking at Drexler who broke through, Rodman and Longley had already stood in advance to meet Drexler's impact.
It's a pity that Drexler didn't attack on his own, and when he was attacking with the ball, he threw the ball with both hands and threw it directly into the bottom corner.
Bodi Roga, who had already been ambushed somewhere, took the ball and shot, without giving the Bulls defenders a chance, the ball went over Harper's palm and went directly into the basket.
Looking at the wonderful goal, Tiger, who was sitting behind the bench, jumped up very excitedly and said to Amy, who had returned to the United States from Southeast Asia, "Honey, the Rockets will definitely win on their home court today, I am very sure of that." ”
Amy smiled reservedly and didn't say anything.
Looking at Amy, who was smiling and silent, Tiger whispered to his lover, "I'll surprise you when the game is over today, baby." ”
Amy looked at this smug guy, and she really couldn't think of anything that could make this kid so proud.
Suo didn't say anything, just continued to watch the game.
The Rockets' current strategy on the court is for Bodi Roga to play for half the court, and then hand it over to Drexler to organize the offense, use the sharp Drexler to impact the Bulls' perfect defensive system, and then either pass the ball, or play by himself, all with Drexler alone.
This greatly mobilized Drexler's attacking power and his passing ability, and also contained Michael? Jordan, can't let them devote themselves to the offense wholeheartedly, so as to reduce the pressure on the defensive end.
Under some series of tactical changes of the Rockets, the Rockets began an amazing counterattack, Drexler threatened the Bulls' interior again and again, making the Bulls' defense take care of one or the other, and in just two and a half minutes, the Rockets have pulled the score closer and overtaken.
The Bulls felt like they were being beaten, and they were at a loss for defense and offense.
The fans at the home court of the Rockets were really excited to see this scene, and the Rockets' efficient offensive efficiency made the Bulls on the court already in a state of loss of control.
Is it okay to be Phil? Jackson called a timeout in time and quickly adjusted the Bulls' personnel, with Kukoc coming on to replace Harper.
The bull after adjusting the personnel and state is still considered normal.
However, by the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had already overtaken by 7 points.
31:24 In the second half of the first quarter, the Rockets successfully achieved a reversal, looking at Jordan with an iron face, all the players like the Rockets felt comfortable.
