Chapter 47: Super Collision (2)
The strength of the first game was a huge blow to Garnett's self-confidence.
Because Rodman's last two broken balls were lost in his hands, Garnett regretted it very much.
Looking at Garnett's silent expression, he sat at the back of the bus happily.
Tiger couldn't help but step forward and pat Garnett comfortingly: "Man, you don't want to be like this, there is no player in the world who can't make mistakes, and you're still just a sophomore, it's already very good that you can do this, and we don't want to do anything like this, but this is the game, this is the NBA, this is life, and you face things every day." ”
"Boss, I'm sorry, it's me who is bad. If I had focused my mind, we wouldn't have lost the game, and it's sad to see everyone's hard work all night go down the drain with my mistakes. Garnett's deep voice was poignant.
"No, no, Kevin, you've done a good job today, don't be sad." Olajuwon also stepped forward to comfort Garnett at this time, he didn't want such a young man to lose confidence for a game.
"Hakim is right, Kevin you should try to learn to accept failure." Old Tang also came up to comfort him.
"Thank you, thank you, but my heart is very uncomfortable, I don't know how to do it." Garnett was really sad.
"Alright, man, it's all right, we still have a chance, we've got the Chicagoans to use all their strength against us today, and we're proud of that." Olajuwon continued.
Everyone was babbling to comfort Garnett.
With everyone's comfort, Garnett slowly walked out of the blow of defeat.
Seeing this, Tiger let out a long breath.
Recall that he has been taking over the rocket for two years.
But in the past two years, in addition to paying attention to big things, all other things have been handed over to Dawson.
And he was busy building his own financial empire.
Thinking of this, Tiger also secretly wondered if he didn't care too much about the development of the rocket.
It can't be said that the overseas business development of rockets in recent years has been very good.
In China, in Japan, in Europe, in South America, all over the world, there are direct institutions of the Rockets, and they can interact with local Rocket fans.
On the Internet, a large basketball forum has been established with great investment.
The official website of a rocket.
You can find all the Rocket's games on the Rocket's official website.
Rockets' player profile each year.
Record of annual battles with opponents.
Many, many professional materials are documented.
This series of investments has expanded the prestige of rockets in the world.
Cultivated a large number of loyal fans of the Rockets all over the world.
As for himself, he is watching the game with the team from time to time behind his back.
It's a very enjoyable thing.
Forget it, I'm the boss of the rocket anyway.
For the love of your heart, you are willing to pay more.
The first big game let basketball fans all over the world know the power of the rocket.
Many media outlets are clamoring for whether the Rockets can beat the Bulls to become the new powerhouse this year.
And just like that, the Rockets' second playoff game arrived.
On June 5th, it continued at the United Center Arena.
The second game between the Rockets and the Bulls has officially begun.
In the second game, the Bulls, who had already attached great importance to the Rockets, attacked with all their might at the beginning.
Pippen, Longley, Haber, and Kukoc attacked in succession.
Jordan singled with the ball, attracting defensive passes, and Longley rarely relied on Olajuwon to hit a hook shot.
Pippen holds the ball and organizes the attack.
After the breakaway, the ball was distributed to Haber, and Haber hit a mid-range shot.
In this way, wave after wave of attacks did not break the rocket.
Led by Big Dreams, the Rockets put up stubborn resistance.
Not a single chance to attack.
Not a single rebound.
The players of the Rockets are all fighting with 12 points, fighting hard and persevering.
Big Dream was caught by Longley and Rodman, and scored two points with difficult moves.
Drexler hit a three-pointer in front of Jordan.
In this way, the two sides fell into an arduous tug-of-war.
Although the Bulls led by four points, they never widened the gap in the score.
The Rockets kept the pressure on the Bulls throughout.
Tremendous pressure.
Even Jordan felt like he had to slack off a little.
Then the rocket can pounce and tear the bull to pieces.
Under such tremendous pressure, the Bulls' Big Three can still hold on.
But those role players are hard to say.
Longley was capped, covering his assistant defense up to Horry.
Haber was tackled, and it was substitute Shanton Anderson who made the steal.
Cole was continuously shot and faced, and it was Kassel who committed the crime.
There is one thing in the current Rockets players.
That is tenacity and fearlessness.
Marrick Ross is a rookie who can knock Rodman to the floor.
Ray Allen defended Jordan and almost stuck his finger in Jordan's eye.
Saulius had his own strong body and knocked Hubble out of the game.
Jordan felt like his opponent was suddenly incarnating like the Pistons of the early '90s.
Iron-blooded style comes to the face.
And now the only one who can support himself is his old partner Pippen.
The two of them are like lone heroes in American blockbusters, rushing into the enemy line again and again.
Tough scores.
When defending, the two of them are like blue-collar coolies, fighting for rebounds in the card position.
The two teams are like two injured beasts, both desperately biting their opponents.
are all holding on, holding on until the other party loosens.
Time is fast.
It's the last five minutes of the fourth quarter
75:75
It is already the 19th draw between the two sides.
Jordan holds the ball, and Drexler is preoccupied with the real Jordan.
But Jordan himself has already scored 30 points.
No way, because no one can stop Jordan.
"Clyde, you're really strong this year, your boss doesn't know where to find so many rookies, these kids are polishing for 2-3 years, and they can basically rule the whole league." Jordan said something that didn't make sense.
"Michael, we're playing the NBA Finals right now, not chatting in a café." Drexler said with a blank face.
"Hey, Clyde you can't do this, we've dedicated a boring defensive battle, can't you just take it easy." Jordan said a little aggrieved.
"Yes, Michael, as long as we can beat the championship you guys go to, I'll make it easy for you to go on a picnic." Drexler is still like that.
"Hehe, that's impossible, but I can ask you to wait until we win the championship." Jordan said with a smile, but the murderous aura in his tone was still amazing.
Just when the two of them were still talking about something.
Pippen, who is off the ball, cuts in the opposite direction and opens his hand to ask for the ball.
Jordan flicked his wrist and the ball was passed.
After receiving the ball, Pippen takes a step forward and turns 180 degrees to attract the defender and pass.
And Hubble, who cut without the ball on the other side, caught the ball and threw it.
hit, 77:75 Bulls lead.
Turn around.
The Rockets attacked, the ball went inside, Da Meng shook, pulled his body in the opposite direction, passed Longley, and passed the ball to Rodman, who came to help defend him.
Garnett, who was no longer defended behind Rodman, burst into muscles with both hands after receiving the ball, grabbed the basketball tightly, and his waist and abdomen were hard to rise into the air.
With the cooperation of the live audio, the sound of dunking was heard by the audience.
A very exciting dunk.
Watch the wonderful inside fit.
Jordan shook his head.
sighed to himself: Da Meng has really found a good teammate.
77:77 Draw again.
Jordan then hit two mid-range shots.
Pippen hit a three-pointer.
The Rockets also hit two three-pointers from Horry and Mark Jackson.
84:83 Bulls lead.
There are 31.3 seconds left in the clock.
Bulls attack.
If the Rockets want to win, they have to defend this ball, and then they can hit a ball.
The Bulls continue to attack with the ball.
It's still the same as ever.
The other four of the Bulls pulled away and let Jordan play alone.
Jordan was still slowly approaching the three-point line under the marking of Drexler.
Drexler also stepped back step by step, staring at Jordan tightly.
Jordan suddenly made a left-like dumble, and the ball quickly pulled back and jumped to shoot.
And Horry, who had been in ambush for a long time, suddenly rushed out.
But Jordan thought it was as if he was going to come out.
Jordan passes.
Pippen Jordan's best partner.
Pippen didn't even think about catching the ball after receiving it.
Hit, the sound of "swish" is exceptionally nice to the ears of Chicago fans.
86:83 Bulls lead.
time, with 8.6 seconds left.
The Rockets can only play overtime if they hit a 3-pointer.
In order to have a glimmer of vitality.
Rocket pause.
Lao Tang arranged the final lore tactic.
"The last to come on the court were Horry, Mark, Sam, Clyde and DeYoung, and you remember, the Bulls are going to be on the perimeter. Still, three of the five of you have a height advantage on the outside, and once any of you turn to that position in Kerr, give me a shot, you know. ”
"Know"
"Let's play."
The rocket sent the ball out quickly.
Time is still flickering away.
The ball disappeared from Mark Jackson's hands.
He passed, it was Horry.
Something this guy is in front of the official Cole.
Ignoring the defense, Horry takes a shot.
The ball flew quietly under the dome of the United Center arena, very smoothly and without much spin.
"Huh"
The sound of "ticking" into the net and the sound of the end of the game sounded at the same time. 、
The rocket retreated on the edge of the cliff.
Both sides prepare for extra time.
"Oh, Shet, what's going on with this TMD, Rocket's shit luck is so good." Hubble was indignant on the side.
"Okay, what's the use of the guy scolding, come over and get ready for overtime." Pippen said as he pulled Hubble over him.
On the other side of the rocket, there was a lot of joy.
"Hey, hey, hey, Robert, you're amazing." Cassel pounced on Horry.
"That's because you didn't see who I am." Horry made a toned move.
"Wow, Robert, you're amazing, what you'll need when you meet Houston, as long as the money can handle it, it won't bother me." A certain sullen boss.
The crowd was jubilant.
Take a break for both sides.
Immediately began the overtime battle.
The Bulls were the first to attack.
"Clyde, you're very nice." Jordan and the opposite Drexler said.
"That's, do you still need to say that?" Drexler looked at Jordan, the long-tongued man who nodded today, rolled his eyes and said.
"I just wanted to tell you that today's victory is still mine." Before the words fell, Jordan rolled over and jumped up and made a step-back jumper.
In this way, Jordan completely took over overtime.
Step-back jumpers, step-back jumpers, or step-back jumpers.
Jordan scored 10 points in a row and defeated the Rockets on his own.
After the game, when Olajuwon and Jordan hugged, Jordan whispered: "Look, Hakim is now 2-0 ahead. ”
"Hehe, what's the hurry, you know there are still five games, I only need to win 4 games, I can beat you 4:2, are you so anxious to lose?" Although Olajuwon said with a smile, his words were sharp, and he didn't let it go at all.
"Don't worry, Hakim, we're going to celebrate the championship in Houston." Jordan continued to complain.
"Then I'm more than welcome." Olajuwon turned and walked away.
Olajuwon, who walked out of the United Center arena, swore to himself.
"Michael, I'll give you a warm welcome when you get to Houston."
