Chapter 12: A fiery debut of the new season
On November 4, 1995, the Rockets welcomed on their home court, and the first opponent in the regular season was the Golden State Warriors, who received the No. 1 pick this year.
Now they have the likes of 'Madman' Sprewell, Chris Mullin, Scully, Joan Barry, Kevin Willis and many more.
But the biggest attraction is the matchup between this year's No. 1 pick Joe Smith and No. 5 rookie Kevin Garnett.
"Hey, Kevin, today you entered the NBA arena for the first time, how do you feel?" Well, it can only be some slut.
"I said, Kenny, it's just a normal game, a normal regular season." Garnett kind of convinced the slut.
"Hehe, yes, it's just an ordinary game, don't add any burden to our rookies." Drexler said with a smile.
"Hehe, Clyde, don't be afraid of our rookie being nervous, don't you know, he's been to the toilet 6 times, and it's been within 20 minutes." A slut's face smirked.
At this time, "Big Dream" walked up to Garnett's side and said, "Why is the rookie so nervous?" ”
"Hehe, it's a little, I always feel like I've really walked into this hall, I don't know what I can do." Looking at Big Brother, kg tells the truth.
"Don't be nervous, man, when I first played, I was just like you, nervous, excited and a little scared, don't be nervous rookie, in fact, the NBA is at your feet." After saying that, "Big Dream" patted Garnett.
"Thank you, Kenny, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known, if that rookie's debut performance failed, it would be a blow to his heart, after all, he was only a 19-year-old." Walking up to Kenny Smith's side, Big Dream whispered.
"Hehe, I know, Hakim everyone knows, that kid is the future of the rocket, old guys like you and me can play for a few years, the future depends on that kid, Kassel and Dejan, we can only do our best to help them, let them take fewer detours, and support the future of the rocket as soon as possible." Kenny Smith changed his old ways.
"Smith, bet that in five years, that kid will be one of the best players in the league." Olajuwon said.
"Hehe, I don't bet on this, whoever bets with you is a fool." Smith shook his head and smiled.
"Pap~Pa~Pa~Pa~Pa~~"
There was a slap.
"Guys, the regular season is on, the fight is on, and now we're proving that we're champions and championships." Lao Tang continued his work as an instructor.
"Brothers, the new season is calling us, new honors are calling us, forward, brothers, remember our slogan for the new season?" Big Dream said in the middle of the locker room.
"No brothers, no basketball," Drexler exclaimed.
"Yes, no brothers, no basketball, on the battlefield you can trust your brother, on the court the same you can trust your brother."" Big dreams," continued.
"Let's come on, come on, come on, no brothers, no basketball."
"Ho, come on."
"Come on"
"Come on"
"No Brothers, No Basketball"
A big man walked out as if he had a nuclear reactor installed on his body.
"Hey, everyone, I'm the on-site narrator for this show, Bill Vorrell and my partner Calvin Murphy."
"Hi guys, I'm Murphy."
"Today is the first regular season game of the season for the Rockets, our opponents are not very strong, the Golden State Warriors last year, they played a 26-56 record, oh, that's good, they drew the top pick, I don't know what this year's Warriors will be like, let me wait and see." Bill Vorrell teased the Golden State a little.
"Let's now introduce the Rockets' starting list, center Olajuwon, needless to say, power forward Kevin Garnett, a rookie who has played very good numbers in both the summer league and the preseason. Small forward Robert Horry, he performed very well at the power forward position last year, but unfortunately he was always unable to withstand the power opponent, but what will be the performance when he returns to the small forward position this year, let's see, scoring guard Drexler, haha, this is also not to be thought, point guard Mark Jackson, the famous cramp dance king in the league. Now the Warriors' starting list is center Scully, that Lebanese, power forward Joe Smith, this year's No. 1 pick, small forward Chris Mullin, oh ha, 'God's left hand' point guard Sprewell, Mr. 'Madman', point guard BJ Armstrong, hehe, this guy is an iron man, and has only missed one game since he entered the NBA. Now, the game is about to begin. Murphy said.
Honk.
The game starts with both sides jumping the ball.
The Undoubted "Big Dream" gave the ball to Mark Jackson.
Mark Jackson, who received the ball, took a look at it, and there was no chance of a fast break, so he controlled the ball and slowly walked towards the opponent's half.
"Hey, Mark, you're getting slower and slower now, not much faster than a tortoise." Armstrong spews trash talk at Mark Jackson.
"Hehe, BJ, you are still like that bear, you have won a few championships with Jordan, why do you think that the boss of the sky, Jordan's second, and your third." Mark Jackson looked at the guy and shook his head and laughed.
"Then you've been to me, you turtle guy." Armstrong continued to squirt.
"Then let me ask you BJ, do you say it's the man or the ball." Before the words fell, Mark Jackson's ball had already gone out and passed directly to the "big dream" who was already in the position.
"Big Dream" poked the ball to the left, the center of gravity of the body quickly moved in the opposite direction, dodged the center of gravity of Scully behind him, and in a small jump, the hand picked, and the ball went in.
"Look, BJ, the ball is in." Mark Jackson shrugged and retreated into his own half.
"BJ, don't be discouraged, look for a chance to break through it later, that guy is very slow." Mullin stepped forward to comfort Armstrong.
"Well, I know, I'm going to have to pop him into a sieve in a moment." Armstrong said hatefully.
Turning over, the Warriors attacked.
Armstrong took the ball to attract the attention of defenders, Joe Smith mentioned high and blocked for Chris Mullin, after blocking people, the 'madman' cut into the three-point line from behind Mullin at high speed, and Mullin got to the ball, 'madman' received the ball and dribbled it, and he was about to make a violent dunk when he rose to the sky.
"Don't you think about it." There was a loud shout behind him.
Garnett also rose to the sky, pressing his hand directly on the rebound.
The madman fell from the sky in a daze.
"Pretty, it's so beautiful, this must be the first of the five best today, the jumping man was given such a cap by someone who can dance better than him. No, this goal will definitely be in the top 10 of this year, I swear in my grandmother's name. Bill Worrell jumped straight from the commentary seat.
The audience seemed stunned and fell silent for three seconds, during which they heard only the big man roaring.
Immediately, the Compaq Center was set on fire, and the noise was comparable to the sound of giant airliners taking off and landing, and all the people present who could stand up stood up and screamed for this blood-boiling cap.
"I'm x, I'm x, I'm so handsome." Ben and the players on the bench jumped at the same time.
"Kevin, you're so handsome, it's a superstar-level show." Tiger exclaimed, carried away.
At this time, all the players on the field seemed to be shocked by this ball.
The Rockets players are excited.
The Warriors players were hit.
The Warriors' coach, PJ Callesimo, stood on the side of the court and muttered, "That's where the hell the MD got from." ”
And the coach of the rocket, Lao Tang, jumped up excitedly, waved his fists and shouted: "It's so cool." ”
It was definitely a shot that caused a hormone explosion on the kidney line, ignited the passion of the Rockets, and shattered the confidence of the Warriors.
In such a situation, the result was already a doomed 110-92, which was already the result of all the substitutes in the fourth quarter.
In the third quarter of the game, Garnett, who scored 21 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, was named the best of the game.
Joe Smith's 15 points and 7 rebounds against him also illustrated the fact that the pick does not explain the strength.
The next day, Tiger stood in front of the window of his mansion, looking into the distance, leisurely thinking
"A brand new rocket is about to set sail, yesterday was just the first step, not bad, we won."
The NBA is already on your feet, huh.;
