Chapter 221: Revenge
After beating the Cavaliers' rockets, he immediately rushed to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.
However, this time on the home court of the Suns, the Rockets encountered stubborn resistance, and the Suns' Crawford? Robinson showed great form in the day's race.
In the first quarter of the game, he scored 11 points alone, and the Rockets were still struggling physically when facing back-to-back games.
Lao Tang, who was on the sidelines, was very worried about this year's game arrangement, looking at the Rocket players who were not in good spirits, Lao Tang could only pray that his players could persevere, Lao Tang could only scold in his heart, the people who arranged the field for the Rockets, even if we are the champions, you can't toss us like this.
In the first quarter of the game, it was Garnett who dominated the interior, and the continuous interior play was strong, and Gugliotta did not do anything to Garnett at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so Garnett's play offset Crawford? Robinson's outburst allowed the Rockets to bite the score tightly.
The first quarter ended at 27:24, and the Rockets trailed by three points.
In the rest area on the sidelines, Lao Tang praised Garnett for his excellent performance in the first quarter, and listened to Lao Tang say: "Kevin, play well, play like this, continue to dominate the Suns penalty area, I don't believe that Crawford's kid can feel so good." ”
Garnett nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "I understand." ”
Looking back, I heard Lao Tang continue to say to Olajuwon: "Hakim, you have to pay attention, Crawford feels very good today, I feel that you can't keep up with your pace today, is it that your physical fitness can't keep up." ”
Olajuwon nodded with a wry smile and said: "Yes, coach, today's state is not very good, I think I can be replaced, I want to take a break, I really can't get old." ”
Lao Tang nodded and said to Big Ben: "Ben, you play in the second quarter and stare Crawford to death for me, is there a problem." ”
Big Ben took off his sportswear three times and divided five by two, then nodded and said in a rough voice: "No problem coach." ”
Seeing that the staffing has been completed, he waved his hand and signaled that everyone was ready to play.
Looking at the Rockets players on the court, Brooks asked Lao Tang in a low voice on the sidelines: "Sir, why don't you let the outside players rotate, their state is not very good." ”
Lao Tang shook his head and said: "It's because they're not in good shape, I let them find their feelings, otherwise they will feel colder and colder when they sit underneath, especially those pitchers, Austin, Ray and Dejan, Dejan is better, he organizes the offense, Austin and Ray, you have to shoot more to find the feeling, they are not the same type of player as Robert, Robert is the kind of big-hearted player who usually plays inconspicuously and comes forward at critical moments, Austin and Ray, also have such potential, But they're too young to exercise. ”
Brooks nodded, not saying anything, but he had learned a lot of knowledge from Lao Tang that he couldn't learn in textbooks.
Old Tang looked at Brooks and said with a smile: "Scott, coaching is a very interesting job, but also a very boring job, you have to be patient, you are a good time to learn now, when you have nothing to do you communicate with Mark more, the Chinese have an old saying, I remember very clearly, one person's wisdom is shorter, two people's wisdom is longer, you don't matter now to learn more, listen and watch, but also learn to communicate, you will learn different knowledge in different people." ”
Brooks nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, I will communicate with Mark, you can rest assured." ”
At this time, the game on the court changed again, the Rockets effectively suppressed Crawford's attack on the inside after Big Ben came on the court, Big Ben's flexible footwork, strong body and excellent bounce gave you a lot of pressure on Crawford.
Garnett continued to dominate the restricted areas of both sides, and by less than halfway through the second quarter, Garnett had grabbed eight rebounds, which made Gugliotta, who was in the same position, very uncomfortable.
And as the feel of the rocket's outside gun group recovered, the rocket once again played a wonderful attack.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Rockets finally overtook the score and gradually began to expand the score.
By halftime, the Rockets had exaggerated the score to seven points.
52:45 The Rockets won by 10 points in the second quarter.
Demerit halftime adjustments, Danny? Angie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, 3 minutes into the third quarter of the game, taking advantage of the Rockets' mental slackness, the Suns played a wave of 8:0 attack waves, directly overtaking the score by one point.
But after a timeout from Old Tang, the Rockets began to break out strongly, and Crohill and Ray ? Allen began the third quarter with a three-point rain, and the two men combined for eight three-pointers in the third quarter.
Watching Danny on the sidelines? Anji smiled bitterly, this series of goals made the Sun completely tragic, and the wave of counterattacks was suppressed.
Then the Suns were powerless to launch a counterattack, although Kidd still wanted to work hard to attack, but the defense of Bodi Roga and Daniels made Kidd's last effort come to naught.
107:94 The Rockets beat the Suns on the road.
After the game, the Rockets didn't rest in Phoenix and flew straight back to Houston as they were going to face the Trail Blazers on their home court.
The defeat on the road in the last game made the Rockets remember the feeling of defeat firmly, and they want to give the Trail Blazers a good look on their home court.
After returning to Houston, the Rockets players immediately went home to rest, and there was no game the next day, and Lao Tang gave everyone a vacation again to give everyone a good rest.
Just as the Rockets were preparing to entertain the Trail Blazers on their home court, Tiger also received a call from Paul.
Paul said to Tiger on the phone: "Haha, I said man, you are still sad now, I have handed over all the funds I have at my disposal to you, are you distressed, 1 billion US dollars, hehe, how much do you have to deal with it, it's gone, hahahaha." ”
Paul smiled very proudly on the other side of the phone, and Tiger gritted his teeth and said, "Can you kid stop a little, in such a case, Lao Tzu will not do your business." ”
Paul continued to laugh and said, "Alright, alright, man, I know you're going to make a move, tell me what you're looking at again." ”
Tiger was stunned when he heard this, and said, "How do you know, I don't seem to have said anything to you." ”
Paul took the phone, lying on the deck of his yacht and said: "I don't know you kid yet, such a big flow of money can't be hidden, as a friend and as your capital injector, I can remind you, many people are staring at you, you kid be careful, don't even let people swallow the bones of the belt when the time comes." ”
Tiger also instantly understood what was going on, and a sneer rose on the corner of his mouth and said: "Okay, Paul, I have written down this favor, this is what you know, I want to take advantage of me, to see if they have the ability." ”
Paul reached out and picked up a banana beside him, took a bite hard, and said in a vague tone: "Okay, I don't know you kid yet, take one step and see three steps, I guess I just can't be sure, I guess your news channel is about to find out, I just told you earlier." By the way, man, the Trail Blazers are going to play against the Rockets again, so I've got a lot of good diamonds ready, and I'm not interested in continuing to gamble. ”
Hearing this, Tiger's face twitched, and he said hatefully: "Okay, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed, and I'll take the handicap." ”
Paul laughed and said, "I don't want anything else, if you lose, give me the pitcher on your team." ”
Tiger jumped up from the sofa when he heard the sound of 'Teng', and said loudly: "Are you dreaming and want thunder? Aaron, that's impossible. ”
Paul on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard this, and said with some uncertainty: "Man, I mean Crohill, I didn't dare to ask for Ray?" Allen, I know that's the skeleton of your team, and I don't have a decent player. However, if you are willing to give it, I have no objection. ”
Tiger knew that he had made a mistake when he heard it, touched his nose, and said in a somewhat soothing tone: "Forget it, you kid, I can't bet on the players, I'm sorry for others." ”
Paul sighed and said, "I know, you should do this, if you lose, you invite me to your house for a big meal, I know that the chefs in your boy's house are world-class chefs." ”
Tiger agreed without thinking about it, and said, "No problem, you kid prepare the diamond, don't let you have some blood, you kid won't know why the flowers are so red." ”
The two teased a few more words and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Tiger poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip lightly, and said in a voice that only he heard: "If you want to take advantage of me, you are thinking too highly of yourself, Lao Tzu is from the next generation, and his vision is at least ten years farther than you, the current world economy is in a transition period, you are dealing with me at this time, hum." ”
With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Tiger picked up the phone without hesitation and began the final arrangement.
And Paul, who is far away in Australia? Allen, after hanging up the phone, muttered to himself, "I don't want to owe people a favor, this thing should be paid back quickly." ”
Thinking of this, seeing the Italian supermodel who was entangled with him last night, walking towards him in a bikini, this kid began to 'chicken' move again.
Not to mention the weird clouds on this side of the financial market, the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers started on time.
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets began to attack rapidly, Olajuwon, who was not in very good shape in the last game, was in surprisingly good shape today, and singled out Sabonis many times, so that Sabonis, who was not very good in legs and feet, suffered a lot, and looked at the form on the court was not good, Mike? Dunleavy replaced Kevin? Cato tried to stop Olajuwon's strong performance.
But is Olajuwon at his best that easy to deal with? The answer is no, and Olajuwon used his own steps to show Cato what the top center is.
The entire first half became the stage for Olajuwon's performance, and a 'big dream' who seemed to be 10 years younger wanted to dance his most dreamy dance steps on the inside of the trailblazers.
Mike? Dunleavy looked at Olajuwon in an explosive state, and could only sigh and sit in his chair without saying a word.
After halftime, the Trail Blazers, who had trailed by 17 points, tried to start a counterattack, but in addition to Olajuwon's accident, Crohill and Ray, who threw eight three-pointers in the third quarter against the Suns in the last game? Allen won again, and his accurate shooting made the Trail Blazers' counterattack come to naught.
The two again threw in six three-pointers in the third quarter, and the Rockets had extended the score to 25 points at the start of the final quarter.
Seeing that the Trail Blazers, who had little hope, replaced their main players in the fourth quarter of the game, and the bench players came on the court and the Rockets began to wrestle.
The Rockets didn't rush to kill all of them, but just replaced the bench players and started grinding time.
Mark? Jackson also played in the final quarter, and the type of player like him is best suited to play like this.
At the end of the game, at 114:94, the Rockets won the Trail Blazers by 20 points at home, which can be regarded as avenging the loss to the opponent on the road.
And after the game, Paul could only send a batch of diamond jewelry as Tiger's wedding gift.
Tiger also raised his eyebrows in front of Amy, washing away the shame of being laughed at last time.
