Chapter 9: Preseason Arrives
After completing the integration of the Houston Rockets.
In their first preseason game on their home turf, the Rockets faced the Washington Bullets (later the Wizards)
At that time, the team had Webb and Juwan Howard's interior combination, and with the addition of Rasheed Wallace, who was fourth in the draft, such an interior line was also the highest in the league.
"Guys, we had a great opponent today, Chris Webb and Juwan Howard were great big men last season, and they had good players like Cheney and Robert Bag out there, so we can't be careless." Lao Tang was mobilizing before the game.
"Today's starters, it's Hakim, Clyde, Horry, Kevin and Mark, you remember, keep an eye on them inside. Although they are very strong on the inside, I tell you, I am going to blow them up on their strongest inside. Hakim, the interior defense is very heavy today, you have to pay more attention, after all, their three interior lines are very good. Also, the big Romanian man, hehe, almost forgot about him, but he's too tall, you have to be careful. Kevin, you have to pay attention to the help defense today. Clyde, Cheniko is going to call you, teach him a good lesson, Mark, you have to pay attention to Robert Bag, he is still very strong. Old Tang continued.
"Hey, coach, I know, but Robert Bag, even if he's strong, can't compare to Mark's big ass, hahahaha." Kenny Smith whispered from the side.
"Hehe, why Kenny, aren't you very envious, don't you know, girls now just like my big ass, look at what a sense of surname, I'll rely on my big ass to take my sister." Mark Jackson said funny as he twisted his ass.
"Hahahaha~~~~~~" everyone laughed.
Looking at everyone's relaxed state, Lao Tang also smiled and shook his head.
"Hey guys, this is our first game of the new season, we can't afford to lose, and we have such a bad team, for our first win of the new season, let's go and kick their ass, come on, come on, come on." Hakim, as the leader of the team, walked to the middle and said to the Rockets.
"Come on"
"Come on"
"Come on"
The crowd walked to the middle, stretched out their hands together, and shouted loudly.
"Let's play." "Big Dream" turned and walked towards the locker room.
Behind him, the rocket people walked out murderously.
"Friends on the scene, hi, the new season is about to start again, let's welcome our city heroes." Peterson made an impassioned introduction on the live broadcast.
"First of all, it's our great 'glider' Clyde Drexler, whoa, he's the most ethereal dunk and the most dangerous scorer, let me cheer him on." With Peterson's introduction, there was a heart-pounding noise coming from the Compaq Center, the home of the Rockets.
"And then, it's our rookie this year, the talented basketball player in high school, Kevin, Garnett, hey, guys, this kid is the future of our Rockets, let's give him a little more encouragement." Another burst of noise, but unfortunately a little less than the "glider".
"Below, our lovely Mr. Big Ass, the King of the Cramp Dance, Mark Jackson." Mark Jackson came on the stage with his own unique cramp dance, and the noise suddenly increased.
"Next up is our spring-legged Robert Horry, who always gives us adrenaline-pumping dunks, and he has a big heart that always throws lethal shots." The noise rises again.
"Finally, our greatest, all-powerful, invincible 'big dream' Hakim Olajuwon." At this point, the noise reaches its peak.
"Wow, that's so much fun" Tiger Jones, the famous handsome guy and owner of the Rockets, mingled with the fans. Didn't go to the box, but the location was good, behind the bench.
While Tiger was concentrating on admiring the beautiful cheerleaders of the rocket, a voice woke Tiger up.
"Hey, boss, why are you here." 'Alien' Cassel has discovered his boss.
Tiger replied, "Hey, Cassel, you know, in the whole stadium, this will be the best place to observe beautiful women, I envy you, as long as there are beautiful women to watch, it's really cool." ”
Cassel, who had a black line, didn't know how to answer my words, so he had to smile and say, "You continue, boss, continue." ”
Then he turned his head and looked at his teammates who were all holding back their laughter and about to suffocate their injuries, so he had to smirk.
It's a pity, because the 'aliens' are really so much, the smile is not cute at all.
And the people who were already about to be injured couldn't help but laugh.
And Lao Tang, who was paying attention to the field on the side, saw his boss looking indifferent, and he really couldn't say anything.
And Kenny Smith on the side couldn't see it, so he asked Tiger: "Boss, looking at your nonchalant appearance, are you really not afraid that we will lose to the bullets?" ”
Tiger glanced sideways at Smith and said with a wicked smile on his face; "If you lose even a team like Bullets, I'll go back and tell Rudy to double your training volume, oh ha, let's practice until you go home and go to bed at night, so that you don't have a chance to make out with your wife or girlfriend, I'll suffocate you."
Looking at the stunned crowd, Tiger continued to watch the beauties with satisfaction.
And the rocket soldiers who were stunned were all cold in their hearts, which was simply the most cruel punishment in the world.
Everyone looked around, making eye contact, and they definitely couldn't lose today.
And the main players who were preparing to jump on the field didn't know that the fighting will of everyone on the bench had reached its peak, even if the powerful bull was standing on the opposite side, they could only be tortured and killed by them.
And Lao Tang saw this situation, and secretly prayed for his opponent, God bless you.
honk
A whistle blows.
Romanian Murray, the center of the "Big Dream" and the Bullets, began to jump the ball.
Although there is a difference of 18 centimeters in height, there is still a gap in bounce.
"Big Dream" pointed the ball at Mark Jackson.
When Mark Jackson saw it, he immediately turned over and took Robert Bag, who was behind him, to get the basketball.
Out of the corner of his eye, he had already found a red figure cutting into the forbidden area of the bullet at high speed.
And Mark Jackson is worthy of the old guy who has been in the league for many years, after receiving the ball, he pushed the ball hard with both hands on the path of his teammates.
It was Drexler who was fast down, reaching forward with both hands to catch the basketball. After a dribble, a big stride, and a "boom" sounded, and an elegant tomahawk-style dunk was completed.
At this time, it was only 5 seconds before the start of the game.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Bill Vorell, the narrator at the scene, said excitedly.
"Hey, man, that's so pretty, Clyde, I love you to death." Even more excited than the narrator is the handsome Tiger Jones.
And when he heard this, the "glider" mixed garlic under his feet and almost fell.
The "glider" will turn around and fly over with a big white eye, thinking to himself, miserable, my image, all let this bastard be ruined.
The offense and defense were shifted, the ball was brought to the half, and it was handed directly to Chris Webb.
Defending him at the back was Garnett, who was three years younger than him.
"Hey, high school student, how do you think I'm doing to you?"
"Whatever you want, though, you can go over and leave the ball behind."
"Hah, then I'm here." As soon as he finished speaking, Chris Webb burst into Garnett's left side with a sudden activation.
And Garnett's reaction was also amazing, and he followed directly with the sliding steps.
Just as Garnett was sliding to follow, Webb made a pull-up jump shot and threw the ball in.
"Huh"
The ball hollows into the net.
"Hey, rookie, my ball is in the past, and it's in." Webb continued to tease Garnett.
"Hmph, you're in luck." With that, Garnett, turn around and serve.
And the "big dream" who saw this scene stepped forward and patted Garnett and said:
"It's okay, rookie, we'll call back."
Jackson dribbled past half court and pushed Robert to the three-point line with his back, seeing that "Big Dream" was stuck in position.
Reflexively pulled, wiped inward, dodged the defender, made a ground-hitting pass, and handed the ball to "Big Dream".
And Murray, who defended the "big dream", saw the "big dream" receiving the ball, and immediately posted it.
And "Big Dream" just had the ball in his hand a little up, and he turned around with the ball and passed Murray.
And Webb, who defended Garnett, could only come up to help defend the "big dream".
And just as Webb came up, the ball was passed to Garnett behind him.
And Garnett, who received the ball, jumped up with the ball in both hands, his body bowed in the air, the basketball was placed behind his head, and then he slammed the dunk vigorously.
With a "boom", the basketball hoop was swayed by a lot of force.
And Garnett, who succeeded in slam dunk, looked up to the sky and roared after his feet landed, showing his domineering.
