Chapter 66: Eagles? Do you have rockets that fly fast

On December 3, 1997, the Rockets returned to their home court to welcome the Denver Nuggets, in front of the Rockets' powerful offensive power.

The rocket won easily,

112:101

After the Rockets played a quarter of the game in the main force, the main team all went down to rest.

Let's start cheering on the substitutes below.

Bobby Jackson and Danny Fortson played well, but they didn't have a lot of strength after all.

Lost.

In a relaxed atmosphere, the Rockets welcomed the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks, under the leadership of Lenny Wilkens over the years, have always been a strong team in the East, a force that cannot be taken lightly.

This year's Eagles didn't need to bring in any new players.

The players who have been working together for 2 years have always interpreted what collective basketball is.

Steve Smith, Alan Henderson, Leitner, Mutombo, Brelock, Tyrone Corbyn, Eldridge.

Such a vote played an extremely powerful role in Wilkens' hands.

At a time when the Rockets quietly went 13-1.

The Rockets host the Atlanta Hawks on their home court.

On the jump ball, Mutombo is not yet a match for Garnett.

Garnett easily gave the ball to Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson, who held the ball, controlled the rhythm steadily, and Brerock also followed Mark Jackson closely.

However, Mark Jackson is a big fan of the traditional defender who now has the ultimate goal of passing.

Thinking about the scene of not coming to Locke and being pushed forward by himself, Mark Jackson is very happy.

After the ball goes inside the line.

Big dreams are on the mountain.

This time, I want to see if the big African dream is powerful, or the African mountains are more bullish.

"Come on, Hakim, they're all old rivals, what are you hesitating about." The sound of the mountain is thick.

"yes, then I'm here, you have to be careful." Olajuwon is not to be outdone.

"Hehe, I can't wait, Hakim." Dashan's sentence is a bit reverie.

Olajuwon didn't speak, he turned around and broke through to the left, and Mutombo reacted quickly, resisting it to the death, not letting the big dream turn around.

Knowing that this was a feint, Da Meng saw that Mutombo's body center of gravity had been driven.

A 360-degree turn on the spot, from the left to the right.

Then a small jump, a wrist pick, and the ball went in.

Looking at Mutombo, who had just reacted, Da Meng shrugged and said, "Man, I'm not old enough to walk." ”

With that, he turned and left.

When Mutombo saw this, he not only blushed from his old face, but also underestimated his big dream.

A big dream is a big dream, and no matter how old you are, the threat is still big.

Steve Smith, a member of Dream Two, came up and said, "Man, you should know who our opponents are, don't want to underestimate them." ”

"Understood, Steve, it was my fault just now, don't worry I'll be careful." Mutombo said seriously.

"Okay, man, let's move on." Steve Smith knows what his teammates are like.

The Eagles attacked.

Brelocke dodged the defense of Mark Jackson with a beautiful cross-step.

Straight into it.

Mark Jackson reflexively chased back.

Fortunately, Brelocke is not that kind of speed-type defender, and Mark can easily catch up with him.

But unfortunately, the ball in Brelock's hand has already been passed.

After drawing Drexler's defense, the ball was in the hands of Steve Smith.

Steve Smith, a good shooter, how to describe him?

Well, he's the killer behind a giant, with his sharp and accurate outside shots and elegant shots.

He's the guy who inadvertently gives you the fatal blow.

Steve Smith is one such person.

With a gap of half-length, Steve Smith threw the ball out steadily.

I don't know how many times I've shot like this.

Looking at that graceful action, Houston fans, seem to have forgotten the hustle and bustle.

Look at the basketball that draws a beautiful arc and hit the basket accurately.

Even Lao Tang, who was sitting in the coach's seat, not only applauded, but the ball was really beautiful.

However, this applause was a complete mockery of the Rockets players on the court.

You can get your own head coach to applaud your opponents.

The players on the rocket field immediately lifted their spirits.

Reflexively, the Rockets' players were more focused than ever.

Everyone knows that once an athlete has never been more focused.

Then they will burst out with the strongest combat power.

The rockets played a delicate fit.

Mark Jackson couldn't get Locke on his back, and Steve Smith stepped forward to flank it.

Mark Jackson's pass goes between Steve Smith's legs.

Drexler, who cut off the ball, received the ball and burst inside.

Mutombo hurriedly blocked it, and Drexler's ball was also passed.

The big dream of catching the ball slammed on the ground, and his body rose into the air.

It's going to be a violent buckle.

Lightner looked. I don't care about fouls or not, I jumped up viciously and wanted to give Da Meng a big hat.

Da Meng seems to be fierce, and if he is hard, he will easily get hurt.

I'm not a young man in his 20s anymore, so we can't get out of the limelight.

Big dream in the air, wrist flip.

The ball was passed again, and Garnett, who had been let go by Leitner, caught the basketball.

A jump step forward is a violent buckle.

At this time, Mutombo was strangled by Drex.

became the background for Garnett's violent buckle.

The rocket suppressed the eagle like this, and the wave of attacks made the eagle take care of itself.

In the eighth minute of the first quarter, the Rockets replaced Big Dream to give him a break, and Big Ben was substituted.

In the entire first quarter of the game, the Rockets fixed the score at 25:17.

The Rockets led by eight points.

Looking at the still-sharp rocket, Lenny Wilkens couldn't think of anything to do.

can only ask the Eagles to hit the Rockets' No. 2 position, after all, the older Drexler no longer has the physical strength to support the whole game.

But after the start of the second quarter, the Rockets replaced Drexler.

Although the replacement of Ray Allen is not very experienced, he still does not say anything about physical strength.

The second quarter of the game is a remake of the first quarter.

The rockets suppressed the Eagles' attack to the death.

Watching the Rockets' strong defense suppress the Hawks' offense again and again in vain, Lenny Wilkens smiled wryly on the sidelines.

Because I've been able to do everything I've done.

The Rockets' suffocating defense completely strangled the Eagles.

Mutombo's big elbow also doesn't allow the Rockets' players to be a threat.

Because there was a strong man who was so wrenched with Mutombo that he didn't have time to sacrifice his weapon.

Steve Smith gets pestered by a sophomore kid.

Although this kid doesn't make any small moves, the kraft candy-like defense is also uncomfortable.

Leitner faced Garnett, and there was no good way to get out of it.

Brelocke had a headache when he looked at Mark Jackson's big ass.

How to play such a game, how to play.

There's nothing Atlantans can do.

Under such full-court suppression, the Rockets defeated the Atlanta Hawks 94-87.

After the game, Mark Jackson said something that made all the media take it as a classic.

That's the eagle? Do you have rockets that fly fast.

The Rockets quietly ushered in a 14-1 record.

The Rockets continued their firm stride, moving towards that determined goal.

All opponents who stand in the way of this goal must be kicked away, knocked down, and crushed.
