Theo Ratliffe turned over the court, but the 76ers weren't idle. Snow restrained Nash on the defensive end, making him uncomfortable with passes, and continued to break through in the attack, causing Steve Nash and Michael Finley to foul and then make free throws.

Allen and Luke also performed well, the two combined for 52 points, of which Luke scored 30 points for the first time, scoring 32 points, and Nazr Mohammed played a decent performance, with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. In this way, the Philadelphia 76ers won their first win in Texas, and it was also their fifth straight win. Then, they had to rush to Houston non-stop.

Houston's deepest impression on the Chinese is Francis, Mobley, Cato and Jamie Jackson and Yao Ming, which is the 2002 Rockets lineup, plus later Maddie, we are all very familiar with it. But we can't forget the greatest player in Houston Rockets' history, Hajim Olajuwon. Hakeem Olajuwon, nicknamed "Hakeemthedream" ("Big Dream"), was born in Nigeria, a Nigerian-American professional basketball player, one of the greatest centers in the NBA, who led the Rockets to two NBA championships in 1994 and 1995, and represented the United States at the Atlanta Olympics as a member of the Dream Team, winning a gold medal. Height 7 ft (2.13 m). Olajuwon is one of four players in NBA history to achieve a "quadruple-double" in a single game. His offense is remarkable, the eighth player in NBA history to score more than 20,000 points and rebound more than 12,000, and his defense is also very good, making him the most blocked player in NBA history with 3,830 blocks. His footsteps are nimble and agile, and his feints are realistic and changeable, and he soon won the nickname of "Big Dream". Later generations called his movement "dream dance steps". Ranked at the top of the four centers of the 90s (followed by "Gorilla" Parik Ewing, "Admiral" David Robinson, "Big Shark" O'Neal).

But now the Rockets are not having a good time, the Rockets are without Clyde Drexler and Barkley, and the second-in-command "Batman" Pippen has also left Portland, although there are some good players like Michael Dixon and Catino Mobley and Francis, but as Olajuwon himself is getting older and older (37 in 2000), his competitive state is declining, although he believes in Islam like "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, But he doesn't have Abdul-Jabbar's state (Abdul-Jabbar is a player who can win 40+ at the age of 42), the data is declining year by year, plus the owner Alexander has always been stingy, and he is unwilling to spend money on the team, even if he spends money, it is to make more money, so the team's results have been poor in recent years, and Olajuwon has also come up with the idea. But now he hasn't made up his mind yet. The presence of the 76ers gave him a head-on blow.

But there are some hiccups in this.

A lot of people are in a "hostile" state with Aaron. This is something that many people know.

Allen is a point guard in the body of a point guard, in this era, the first point guard is to pass, Chauncey Billups is an example, why the early part of his NBA career was ill-fated, is because he is so good at scoring, and he is very good at offense, many star players don't like him. But Allen is different, he is the champion himself, the foundation of the team, he doesn't play any way. This made many players hate him.

Especially players like Marbury and Francis, who are about the same level as Allen, will compete together.

Steve Francis is like that. Before he entered the league, many people compared him to Allen and Marbury, and their style of play is indeed somewhat similar. It's all the same breakout maniac, no one in the NBA can stop them if they are in normal condition, and the crossover in street basketball is used in the NBA, insulting the opposing big man is a good trick, the individual attack is too strong, the individual offense is more, and the passing assist is less, which is criticized. And the defense is not very solid, Allen is because of physical reasons, they are not good at technology.

So when I saw Allen, Francis went head-to-head with Allen most of the time, you and I on both sides, you hit the shot, and I broke through like this.

The 76ers had no impact, because before Luke came, the team only had Allen, McGee and Tony Kukoc three points, even with Luke, it was only four, not much, and they all acquiesced to Allen's possession of the ball. But the Houston Rockets are different.

"Big Dream" Olajuwon has been the leader of the team from the beginning, the boss of the team, his position with the Houston Rockets is unassailable, and his temper is quite bad.

Jason Williams told such a story in "Fun NBA". The title is "No One in Sight".

Everyone thinks that "Big Dream" Olajuwang is an easy-going person, because he rarely speaks, and his English with a bit of a Nigerian accent seems to be very Sven, and his style of play is also very elegant. In fact, "Big Dream" also has a bad temper, especially when his supremacy of the rocket is challenged.

During a Rockets practice, the coach asked the players to start practicing free throws, but Olajuwon held the ball and kept practicing his jump shot, and after he made a shot, Maroney, who was still a rookie at the time, picked up the basketball from under the basket and walked to the free throw line.

"Give the ball back to Big Dream." Olajuwang said in a low voice. That's his mantra because he scored the ball so his teammates have to give it back to him.

"But the coach told us to practice free throws." Maroni doesn't understand the rules of "big dreams" at all.

Olajuwang walked up and gave Maroney a big slap in the face: "Don't talk nonsense to me, return the ball to 'Big Dream'!" ”

This shows the temper of "Big Dream". But now it's different.

At that time, "Big Dream" was at his peak, no one dared to challenge his authority, and now "Big Dream" is old, and the team has begun to look for the next person to succeed Olajuwon's team, and of course they have found the talented and super physical Steve Francis. Promising him a high salary, team status, privileges (Francis's nickname is "privilege") and let him go free. "Big Dream" also acquiesced, he knew that he would be old and someone would take his place.

But now Francis has repeatedly challenged the rights of "Big Dream", and does not pass the ball to "Big Dream", especially when the inside advantage is particularly obvious (whether it is Theo Ratliffe or Big Ben is still too tender for Olajuwon), and does not pass, which makes "Big Dream" very angry. The two of them were arguing so much on the sidelines that they almost fought. The referee hastened to separate them. In the end, they were all pressed to the bench, and Francis dropped the towel and went back to the locker room. The 76ers are out of the picture.

Even if the "big dream" played later, the 76ers' point difference was big enough to win the game easily.

Next, the 76ers will meet the last opponent of this trip to Texas, the San Antonio Spurs, and the most difficult team to play against.
