On January 31, the Rockets faced the Chicago Bulls at home.

After four quarters of battle, the Rockets lost to the Chicagoans for the second time this season with a score of 87-98.

And the Chicagoans, led by Jordan, are heading towards the end of their miracle.

Teams across the league were trampled under their feet, and the Bulls, who were racing all the way, had no one to stop.

As for the rockets, it is obvious that it has become a trend of opening high and going low, which is embarrassing, last year's championship.

This year it has sunk.

However, even the rocket, which is no longer the best news material in the eyes of the media, still has its own shining point.

Roger Williams, a columnist for the Houston Chronicle, wrote in such an article:

"The Rockets make an ambitious team, they have a reasonable age structure, they are full of centripetal force, they are united in the locker room, they have 'big dreams', they have 'gliders', they have 'Mr. Key', they have 'Cramp Dancers', they have 'Aliens', they have 'European dudes', they have 'Spider-Man', and they also have championship coach Rudy Tomjanovic, they have a good general manager, Mr. Dawson, and they have an owner who dares to spend money for the Rockets, Mr. Tiger Jones, a prominent figure in the financial circles of the whole of America. It's hard for such a team to succeed. Although this year's Chicagoans are said to be unbeatable, can they guarantee permanent invincibility? Hehe, as long as they are a little unfocused, then our rockets will step on their corpses and become strong. ”

As soon as this report came out, a war of words began.

Chicago Tribune reporter Richard Emmons shot back:

"The Rockets want to step on the Bulls' corpse, 100 years earlier, with the current configuration of the Rockets, the old and the small, how can they be compared with Chicago, the Bulls' home and away double kill of the Rockets is proof."

The New York Times, the Washington Post and many other American newspapers have reported on this incident.

And CNN, BBC and many other TV stations have also reported on this.

For a while, it was really saliva flying all over the sky.

In February, the Rockets were 8-4, which is not bad.

Although there is no way to compare with the Bulls' record of taking perverts.

But in the west, it is also firmly in the top four.

At its rarest, Kevin Garnett and Dejan Bodiroga became the second and third players on the rookie list.

And the first one was Stadamier, who later became known as 'Little Squirrel'.

And his excellent realization of the Grizzlies is actually based on the grizzly bear's rottenness.

It's March.

Due to the continuous injuries of 'Big Dream' and 'Glider'.

The Rockets' record has a downward trend, but with the efforts of a vote of young people, the Rockets still retain their top four results in the West.

Garnett, on the other hand, was named Western Conference Player of the Month.

In the case of the injury of "Big Dream", Garnett averaged 22.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game to lead the team to 9 wins in 14 games in the month, which is really rare.

Under such circumstances, 'Big Dream' and 'Glider' followed the doctor's advice to rest for a full 10 races and recuperate their bodies. (In fact, in March of the 95-96 season, the Rockets lost another wave of 7 consecutive losses, hehe, opened the golden finger, don't be surprised.) ）

Prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

In April, the new 'Big Dream' and 'Glider' performed eye-catchingly.

Led the Rockets to a wave of 7 consecutive wins, and entered the playoffs with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses for the whole month. (It's actually 6-5.) ）

Throughout the regular season, the Rockets were 55-27 and the Jazz were the same as third, and the Jazz were third and the Rockets were fourth due to the regional record.

(It's actually 48-34, ranked fifth, and the fourth is the Lakers, 53-29, I don't want to be too outrageous and add 7 wins, you won't hit me.) ）

The playoffs are even more brutal.

The Rockets met in the first round, and the Lakers, who also have 'Magic' Johnson.

Johnson is really old, and was blown up by Yugoslav Bodi Roga in the battle against the Rockets backcourt.

It allowed Bodi Roga to average a quasi-triple-double of 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists per game.

Heroes are in the twilight.

And the 3-0 sweep of the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs made everyone exclaim that the Rockets of a year ago were back.

(It's actually 1; 3. 83-87 in the first game, 104-94 in the second, 98-104 in the third, 94-102 in the fourth)

The semifinals in the West were Seattle SuperSonics vs. Rockets.

It can be said that hypersound is the nemesis of rockets.

In the regular season, the Rockets were swept 4-0.

The rocket that hit did not have a temper at all.

Gary Payton, Sean Kemp is at the pinnacle.

In addition to Schramf, there is also a bunch of shooters.

What's the deal?

In the first game, the SuperSonics were very successful in defending the 'Big Dream', shooting 3-of-9 from the field and scoring only 6 points and 4 rebounds.

The angry 'big dream' scolded the mother, and the performance of all the other players was abnormal.

In the first game, 108-80, he was tortured and killed. (It's actually 108 to 75).

In the second game, 'Big Dream' regained its feel.

17 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, but it was not him who decided the outcome, it was the outside shooter of the Rockets and the SuperSonics.

It was definitely a three-point battle that will go down in history.

Take a look at our three-point hero list.

Mike, Milan 5 in 5.

Hawkins 3 of 3.

Escu 2 in 2.

Brikowski 2 of 2

Perkins and Payton were 3-of-5

On the rocket side

Hori is 4 out of 7

Drexler was 3 of 4

Kenny Smith 3 out of 3 (not that accurate.) ）

Mark Jackson 2 out of 4 (Actually, nothing else.) ）

Bodi Roga 2 out of 3 (Actually, nothing else.) ）

The Rockets withstood a three-point rain of supersonic shots on the road.

And his three-point rain doused the supersonics, winning the game 109-105 on the road, stealing a victory.

(It was actually a 105-101 loss, but that game was really crazy, whether it was a rocket or a supersonic)

In the third game, the Rockets wanted to continue the magic.

Big Dream had 24 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists for a quasi-triple-double, Drexler had 28 points, Kenny Smith had 28 points on 5-of-5 three-point shooting, and Garnett had 12 points and 7 rebounds (there was actually no Garnett), and he was almost on the verge of victory.

Unfortunately, Payton and Schramf both scored 28 points, and with 21 points and 18 rebounds from Kemp.

Especially in the last 1 minute, Brikowski's two three-pointers completely defeated the Rockets, and the three-point home team lost.

Fourth, red-eyed supersonics.

A frantic offense began, with Kemp 32 points and 15 rebounds, Payton 24 and Schramf 20.

A frenzy of attacks hit the rockets.

And the rocket is like a large Texas cockroach, it just can't be killed. Olajuwon had 26 points, Horry had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Drexler had 15 points and 15 rebounds, pestering the SuperSonics to overtime, and in the end, a wave of SuperSonics attacks gave them a 114-107 match point in overtime.

The fifth game (not actually, that year the Rockets were 4; 0 sweep. ）

Garnett, who was suppressed by Camp for 4 games, began to explode, with 35 points and 17 rebounds in the game, which made SuperSonics coach George Karl break out in a cold sweat.

Cassel and Bodi Roga combined for 40 points and 17 assists, which made Payton extremely painful.

Coupled with Da Meng's 17 points and Glider's 16 points, the five-man double-double score of 122-115 played a high score rarely seen in the playoffs.

The Rockets are pulling a game back.

In the sixth game, George Carr gave the superSonics a death order not to give the Texans another chance.

Sun 3 of the year; 1. The example of leading the Rockets is not very long.

SuperSonics, who have no way out, are on their home turf and begin to redeem themselves.

Kemp's 25 points and 20 rebounds had a big double-double, Payton had 26 points and 15 assists, and Schramf had 19 points.

However, the Rockets also had a chance in the end, 35 seconds before the end, the SuperSonics led by 2 points, Kenny Smith missed a three-point shot, and was robbed of the most important rebound of the game by Kemp, choking his own fate.

107 to 102, SuperSonics won by 5 points.

And in the other series of games, I saw that Xiaoqiang, who was not trampled to death by the sun 3:1 in 95, was accepted by the supersonics.

The Spurs and Jazz were a little stunned. In the end, the Spurs went home to the Jazz to advance.

Western Conference Finals, SuperSonics vs. Jazz

In the first game, the supersonic bloodbath Jazz 102-72.

The supersonic 6-man double-double, which made the Jazz very depressed.

In the second game, the Jazz Malone, who returned to form, had 32 points and 13 rebounds, Hornacek scored 22 points, and Stockton made 5 of 8 shots.

However, the SuperSonics relied on 24 points from Perkins and McMillan to get through the game, 91-87 in the next game.

In the third game, the Jazz returned to their home court to fight to the death.

Malone had 28 points and 18 rebounds, Hornacek had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Russell had 24 points and 10 rebounds to pull back a game.

The fourth game continued to unfold on the Jazz's home court.

Malone had 25 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, and Hornacek had 19 points, but Stockton was out of shape under Payton's defense.

In the end, it relied on Perkins' 20 points, Kemp's 19 points, and Payton's 18 points.

With Stockton missing a 3-pointer in the final 8.8 seconds, 88-86, the SuperSonics got the match point for the next time.

In Game 5, Malone and Hornacek combined for 56 points, while Karl and Russell also scored 16 and 15 points, and the Jazz won the game 98-95 at the Key Arena, making Payton and Kemp's 55 points useless.

Scene 6. The Jazz, who returned to Salt Lake City, played at their highest level since the start of the season.

Malone had 32 points, Hornacek 23 and Stockton 14 each had 12 assists.

Beat the SuperSonics by a huge margin of 35 points.

In this way, the seventh decisive battle unfolded at the supersonic Key Arena.

In the last series, both sides were very careful, but Stockton played well, with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals, and Malone also scored 22 points.

However, the Jazz eventually fell to Malone's terrible free-throw percentage, making 6 of 12 free throws.

Finally, Jazz fell at the muzzle of supersonic, 90:86.

Jazz comes home.

However, in the final Finals, the Bulls almost confirmed the victory in the first three games.

The next two losses to the SuperSonics were nothing more than the Bulls dozing off.

June 16th

In Game 6, the Bulls were 87-75, completely solving the supersonic speed.

72-10 in the regular season, 15-3 in the playoffs, and 87-13 in the year.

At this point, the second dynasty of the bulls began.

The owner of the Rocket, our pig's foot Mr. Tiger Jones, is enjoying himself and a group of beauties in the Caribbean.

But a call from Houston doesn't want to go back to his home in Houston to study the upcoming draft.

'96 draft, the arrival of the golden generation.
