Chapter 113: One Win and One Loss (I)
After losing to the Heat on their home court, the Rockets immediately began to move to Phoenix to challenge the Suns on the road.
And the Suns, who are fighting at home, also have the intention of defeating the Rockets.
However, it was the buses and Horry who were not selected for the squad this time, and with the return of Garnett and Ray Allen, the Rockets have the confidence to shoot the Suns on the road.
"This season is the first time we've beaten the Rockets, and we're confident that we'll beat the Rockets again on this field, the last time was a last-minute kill, and I hope this time too, to let the Rockets know that it's impossible to win at the West Stadium, can you do it, guys," Danny Ainge said to his players before the game. ”
"Yes"
The Suns' players chanted in unison.
"Alright, let's play." Danny Angie took the field with his players.
The Rockets' locker room was also full of excitement, and Lao Tang looked at his players and said, "Guys, do you remember the experience of being killed here on November 17 last year?" I remember, I remember Chapman patrolling his territory like a king, that look of contempt, I can still remember, you know. It's really uncomfortable, today we're here again, we're not here to lose, we're not here to be killed, we're not here to be the background, we're going to beat them, to defeat them completely, so that they will tremble when they see us in the future, can you do it? ”
"Yes."
The answer of the rocket crowd was low and resolute.
"Alright, let's go and beat them." Lao Tang pushed open the door and walked out first.
After the referee's whistle blew, the game between the Rockets and the Suns began.
At the beginning of the game, the Rockets played the advantage of their interior line, and the combination of Olajuwon and Garnett hit the relatively weak interior line of the Suns again and again.
The combination of Manning and McDyce's interior is clearly no match for Olajuwon and Garnett, who have been beaten in succession. In just five minutes of the opening game, the Rockets had a nine-point lead at 15:6.
A wave of fierce attack by the rocket, hitting the sun was miserable, and seeing the momentum of the rocket, Danny Angie quickly called a timeout.
Hurriedly arranged a defensive tactic to suppress the rocket's indiscriminate bombardment on the inner line of the sun.
After the timeout, the Suns contracted their defense, strengthened the defensive intensity of the interior, and limited the strength of the Rockets' interior.
However, in this way, the outside line of the rocket was released, and Ray Allen and Krohill, who were replaced in advance, fired the two muskets on the outside, completely penetrating the outside line of the Suns.
In this way, the sun fell into a dead knot, that is, if it shrank inward, the outside fire of the rocket could kill them.
If you expand outward, the rocket's interior line can blow them up.
Such an endless cycle makes Danny Angie very nerve-wracking.
By the end of the first quarter, the Rockets had a 12-point lead.
After the start of the second quarter, the rocket continued its own fierce attack, and Tai** couldn't think of any good way to deal with the combination of the inside and outside of the rocket.
You can only be beaten passively, and then rely on the player's individual ability to score a certain number of points.
At the end of the first half, the Rockets led the Suns by 20 points.
Completely transferred all the anger received on the heat to the sun to vent.
At halftime, Danny Ainge looked at the Suns players who were beaten by the rockets, shook his head and sighed and said: "Guys, look at you like this, I really pity you, just in the first half, you were beaten like this by the rockets, how will you face the rockets in the future, will you see the rockets in the future, you raise your hands to surrender, and when you see the rockets, you will retreat, then you can go and prepare for the second half of the game, I don't want to say anything." With that, Danny Ainge waved his hand to signal that the Suns' players were ready to go.
Seeing this situation, Kevin Johnson stood up and said: "Coach, we don't want to be like this, we don't want to see the Rockets in the future and take a detour, but we need command, we need tactics, you can't expect the rabble to compete with the Lions, and you have to win the final victory, this is unrealistic, we ask you to teach us how to do it." ”
Kevin Johnson said this frankly but firmly.
Danny Ainge took one look at the Suns' players and said, "What do you guys think too?" ”
"Yes, Coach, that's what we think too."
The Suns players said in unison.
"Okay, then come here, listen, in the first half of the game, we were going to prevent the rocket's attack, but everyone also saw it, we can't prevent it, since we can't prevent it, then we can't defend it, we attack, we want to win with the offense, we can only move forward without the back, we are now just dying on the way to the charge, you know." Danny Angie's words were full of blood, and they completely detonated the blood surname in the sun's bones.
"Yes, if it's a big deal, you will lose, even if you die, you will die on the way to the charge, guys, we will fight." Kevin Johnson said with blood-red eyes.
"Roar."
The sun roared in unison.
In this way, the second half of the game began, and the sun in the second half seemed to be the god of attack.
Suns players such as McDyce, Danny Manning, Kidd, Chapman, Kevin Johnson, Clifford Robinson, etc., incarnated as Jordan one by one, breaking through, three-pointers, and jumpers, but showing their own diverse offensive skills.
Under the organization of Kidd and Kevin Johnson, the Suns' offense continued wave after wave.
Less than five minutes into the third quarter, the Suns closed the score by 10 points.
Seeing this situation, Lao Tang hurriedly called a pause, and hurriedly began to arrange tactics.
"Now the Suns have started to fight hard, they don't want to defend and let go of the offense, this is a desperate style of play, if they play well, they can turn defeat into victory, if they don't play well, they will die without a place to die, now we have to suppress their offense, Mark and Hakim are off, Vaughn and Daniels are on the court, the task of the two of you on the court is to stare Kidd and Kevin Johnson for me, you must not let them go crazy like this, don't be afraid of fouls, as long as you can interrupt their rhythm, everything is worth it."
After the timeout, the Rockets strengthened their defense against the Suns' two backcourts, so that the Rockets strangled the Suns' offensive source, and the Rockets finally suppressed the Suns' attack.
Then, he can also start to attack calmly, the Rockets promoted Horry to the position of power forward, and Garnett temporarily played center, such a lineup played with the Suns both offensive and defensive.
The Suns, under the targeted defense of the Rockets, also gradually lost the ability to attack.
In this way, the Rockets withstood the Suns' thunderous attack in the third quarter, and the score was always controlled by more than 10 points.
Didn't give the Suns a chance to overtake.
A disheartened Danny Ainge replaced Kevin Johnson at the start of the fourth quarter to give the old guy a break and a break for the next game.
Replaced by the team's third point guard, Steve Nash, the winner of the next two MVPs.
The current Nash, not the 'MVP' of the future, as his second season, is still on the bench, but now he can score 9.1 points in a limited time, which has attracted a lot of attention.
In the fourth quarter, which was already considered garbage time, the future 'MVP' showed his superb passing skills.
He has delivered many wonderful assists, and he can also break through or shoot on his own.
By the end of the game, Nash had 5 assists in a single quarter and scored 10 points, which was amazing.
Although the Suns lost the game 108-95 in the end, Nash's amazing performance made the old Nelson in Dallas even more determined to get this man.
After the victory over the Suns, the Rockets took a little breather and headed to Salt Lake City again, where the Rockets were going to challenge the Jazz on the road.
And the Jazz also want to beat the Rockets on their home court and save face.
Rockets fight Jazz again, and the big war is imminent.
