After being killed by the Phoenix Suns, the depressed Rockets returned to Houston.

Looking at the depressed Rocket players one by one, Tiger stepped forward one by one to comfort them.

In fact, as early as when he was on the plane, Lao Tang comforted the Rockets' players all the way.

After returning to Houston, I was actually a little depressed, and nothing else.

Watching their bosses comfort the players one by one, the Rockets will feel very moved.

In this way, with a little depression from losing to the Suns, the Rockets welcomed their old rival at home.

The New York Knicks, led by 'Gorilla' Patrick Ewing, take on the Rockets on the road.

The atmosphere at the home court of the Rockets was very warm before the start of the game, although the fans of the Rockets were helpless about the last game and the away loss to the Suns, but they were still very optimistic about the performance of the Rockets this year.

Before the start of the game, Ewing saw a sign that made him very unhappy.

"Do orangutans want bananas?"

The slogan was so striking that almost everyone present could see it.

Ewing said to Big Dream with an embarrassed face, "Houstonians are really unfriendly. ”

Olajuwon said with a calm face: "Patrick, they just want to invite you to eat bananas." ”

As soon as these words came out, almost all the players, coaches and referees around sprayed.

Olajuwon's dry humor is really unusual.

Ewing was so hung up when he heard this.

A finger pointed at Olajuwon, trembling and unable to speak.

Olajuwon shrugged helplessly and turned away.

Ewing used a lot of strength to suppress the fire.

turned around and said: "Brothers, today we are going to teach the rocket a lesson, give me the best ability, if anyone is lazy, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." After saying that, I went to prepare for the game with a constipated face.

Houston, Larry Johnson, Starks, Oakley and other players, seeing that their boss is already angry, can only think: Let's fight this game.

Ewing and Garnett, who jumped the ball, Olajuwon has long stopped jumping the ball.

In the end, it was the young Garnett who gave the ball to Mark Jackson.

Jackson controlled the ball steadily and slowly pushed it into the Knicks' half.

Mark Jackson looked at Charlie Ward in front of him and said: This time it's not the kind of ground assault type of guard, that kind of guard is really difficult to deal with.

Looking introverted, two old men in their thirties are in the card position, and Mark Jackson has more than a sense of vicissitudes.

These two guys were fighting for the championship a few years ago.

It's old now.

However, looking at the posture of Big Dream, it can be better, and the Rockets have a group of super substitutes who have given Big Dream a lot of time to rest.

It can give Big Dream a chance to continue to move forward on the road of challenge.

Come to think of it, Mark Jackson's ball, high-profile to Olajuwon.

Olajuwon and Ewing are already very familiar with each other.

There is no need to test it at all, Olajuwon's body leaned back violently, and Ewing, who is older than Olajuwon, can't prevent it at all.

The body took a step back, and Da Meng took advantage of this gap to turn around, and his body continued to lean on Ewing, so that Ewing did not dare to exert force casually, because a force was a foul.

With a little strength from Ewing, he jumped up gently, picked up a small basket, and the ball fell into the basket briskly.

Olajuwon glanced back at Ewing and said, "Look, man, you really have some bananas, why don't you have the strength." ”

After speaking, he left with a relaxed face.

Especially, his face was already purple at that time.

Oakley didn't look good, and stepped forward to comfort him: "It's just a ball, don't be so angry, just hit it back." ”

Ewing took another deep breath, calming his anger.

Shaking his head, he said, "It's okay, I know, it's a game." ”

After that, it's time to serve.

Coming to the paint area of the rocket, Ewing took the initiative to ask for the ball.

The ball went into Ewing's hand, and Ewing also didn't hesitate to turn around and hit a jumper.

Ewing saw the ball go in, and not only complained: "Hakim, haven't you woken up, are you still dreaming?" ”

After speaking, he pretended to leave with a relaxed face.

Looking at Ewing's contrived face, Olajuwon smiled.

Just when the top stars of the two teams were at odds with each other, the Knicks' Alan Houston took the lead.

This future CIC king, who is only 26 years old now, is the beginning of his peak.

Now that he is averaging 18 points per game, he can fully afford his annual salary of 6 million.

Ray Allen, who came on today in place of Drexler, who was resting with a minor injury, has no problems with his physical fitness and physical strength.

However, there is such a big gap in experience in Shanghai.

Alan Houston used cover to hit three mid-range shots in a row, and it was hot to the touch.

In the opening 5 minutes, the Rockets were beaten 12-4.

8 points behind.

Lao Tang saw that the situation was not very good, and quickly stopped the game.

Horry called Ray Allen aside and said: "Ray, if you want to deal with a guy like Houston, you have to learn to foul, a vicious foul, you must interrupt his touch, if such a guy throws a feeling, we can only go home today, you play very similar to him, it's a pity to learn from him, but you have to understand how to defend such a guy, you know what." ”

Ray Allen nodded vigorously.

Lao Tang, who was arranging tactics on the side, nodded with satisfaction.

Ray Allen, who played again, remembered Horry's teachings and came up to give Alan Houston a fierce thug who was about to attack.

The place where you were beaten is visibly red, and Alan Houston grinned in pain.

This scene looked in Horry's eyes, and he also gave a covert thumbs up to Ray Allen.

Alan Houston's fouled free throw was just one thrown in.

After that, Alan Houston's hand felt rapidly declined, and under the strict guard of Ray Allen, the role was greatly weakened.

In this way, after the end of the first quarter, the Rockets chased the score to 22:21, only one point behind.

During the break between the first and second quarters, Knicks head coach Van Gundy expressed his displeasure with his players' defense in the final minutes.

A team like the Knicks, who values defense, was chased by such a score in the final minutes.

It's incredible.

After the start of the second quarter, the two sides seemed to start to compete on how to hit the iron.

Double [***] iron strike.

Five minutes into the game, the two sides were tied at 30:30.

During this period, the Knicks gradually replaced the bench players to buy time for their main team to rest.

Seeing this, the Rockets also replaced themselves with their substitutes.

However, the quality of the Rockets' bench is significantly better than that of the Knicks.

Looking at Bodi Roga, Ben Wallace, Marrick Rose, and other Rockets substitutes, Van Gundy is actually very hot-eyed.

For the rest of the second quarter, the Rockets' benches taught the Knicks' bench a lesson.

What kind of substitute is a good substitute.

Under the deployment of Bodi Roga, the Rockets players turned into the Bulls, and the triangle offense played well.

Probably due to the relatively good adaptation of the Rockets, Bodi Roga showed the atmosphere in the competition that began this year.

Organization, scheduling, and tandem show the general's bearing.

has faintly become the number one organizer of the rocket.

Even Mark Jackson doesn't admit this.

However, Bodi Roga is still lacking in experience.

Privately, Mark Jackson had already talked to Lao Tang about this issue.

Mark Jackson was more than willing to give his own place to the bench for the youngster.

Old Tang pondered for a long time, but still rejected Mark Jackson's proposal.

Because, Lao Tang didn't want Bodi Roga to be fixed in one position, he wanted to see how much Bodi Roga could grow.

Placed only in the point guard position, it is somewhat overkill for Bodi Roga.

In the second quarter of the game, Bodi Roga led a bench and completely beat the Knicks' bench into slag.

In the final minutes, the Rockets' bench unleashed a 15-6 attack wave.

By the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had taken a nine-point lead.

45：36

The Rockets took the lead heading into the second half.

After halftime adjustments, the Knicks' players began to counterattack in the third quarter of the game.

Kraft candy-like defense and Larry Johnson's outbursts put the Rockets' lead in jeopardy.

However, this is when Ray Allen stepped up.

Two consecutive three-pointers completely stabilized the morale of the army.

The advantage of the rocket was maintained.

Look at the wanton Garnett and Ray Allen, and the calm Bodi Roga on the bench.

Van Gundy had a vague sense that a new era was coming.

Under the strong pressure of the Rockets, the Knicks never turned over.

95：84

The Rockets came out victorious on their home court.

Ewing looks like he's going to have to go back to the Knicks to eat bananas.

Ray Allen started and scored 19 points from the game.

It's amazing how many talented young people are rockets.

So far, the new season has started 8 games, 7 wins and 1 loss.

The Chicago Bulls started the new season with 8 games and 4 wins.

For a time, the media lamented that the bull had come to an end.
