Chapter Thirty-Nine: Stern's Decision and the Defeat of the Belly Rocket

"Smack!" David Stern turned off the video.

"How do you feel? Thorne!" David Stern asked his assistant Rod Thorne with a blank face.

"Good gimmick, foe and friend! Very good! Rod Thorne pondered his vocabulary.

"Yes! We are all masters on the pitch, but we can still be friends in private! Not bad! David Stern nodded.

"If you are friends, it is estimated that you will not attract too many audiences, only feuds, blood feuds, and lifelong competitors will have conflicts and attract people's attention! This matter can be considered, but not as a main line! Stern continued with a blank face.

"Bruce Bowen is just a small person, and Kwame Brown is not at the same level at all, if you are friends, it is still a bit of a gimmick, and if you are an opponent, it is estimated that it is completely unnecessary! Kwame Brown's opponent can only be the shark in Los Angeles! Yesterday Elvin Hayes had already written a war letter to O'Neal on behalf of Kwame Brown! I feel like this can be promoted! Rod Thorne said.

"Yes! This can be heavily advertised! Last time you said that Kwame Brown said in an interview with a reporter: "The game is five people, what do you think?" David Stern continued.

"It's a bit inconsistent with the superstar strategy we've been advocating, I think it can be used as a side line, but not too much attention!"

"Wolves and dogs! Teamwork & Collaboration! It's a bit interesting, you can temporarily let the following focus on team and collaboration materials, maybe one day in the future, you can use it, and temporarily implement the established strategy! David Stern was the final word.

I don't know about Stern, but now we're rushing to Houston for back-to-back battles, and the Rockets, once the strongest of the Texas top three, have turned into a bullying team. Shortly after the preseason, their center forward, the former proud dream Hakeem Olajuwon was traded to the Raptors, although the Rockets signed power forward Morris Taylor for $8oo before the season, but then Morris Taylor's Achilles tendon ruptured, the season has come to an end, and now the Rockets' interior can only be supported by Kelvin Cato, rookie Eddie Griffin and Kenny Thomas, who is only 2o1 cm. Without interior support, the Rockets have to turn their attention to guards Steve Francis and Catino Mobley, and poor results are inevitable. This year's Rockets finished with a disappointing 28-54 regular season answer, tying the second-worst record since the Rockets moved to Houston, but we can't afford to boo, we are back-to-back today, and we will be tested a lot.

Sitting in the locker room waiting to play, the TV in the locker room is playing the video of Erwin Hayes giving the big shark O'Neal a battle letter, the commentator fanned the flames there without listening, and then played the classic picture of the last shark duel, the commentator analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two people from height, strength, weight, technology, and all aspects, and analyzed how deep the grievances we have, which made my heart numb for a while.

"What do you think?" Michael Jordan saw me staring at TV, walked over and patted me on the shoulder.

I nodded my chin at the chattering NBA host on TV and said, "They say I have a blood feud with O'Neal......"

"Haha...... Boy, you're still tender! Michael Jordan: "If they don't say that, how can they attract the audience, how can they make the greedy businessmen pay for it!" ”

Christian Leitner, who came back from this game, came over and sat next to me, patted my head and said with a smile: "Boy, you've arrived, Stern noticed you!" ”

"yes, and you don't want to think that Houston's home stadium would be playing NBA cable before the game without Stern's instructions? They've already put their own highlights on the field! Michael Jordan said with a smile.

"You're already a big star!" Christian Leitner said as he straightened his bracers.

"Look! O'Neill will respond to your offer very quickly, and it's sure to be a hot hit! Christian Leitner said slowly, as if it were meant to be.

Christian Leitner is back, and the Wizards are back with me, Christian Leitner, Michael Jordan, Richard Hamilton, and Tyrone Luc.

The Rockets have Jason Collier and Morris Taylor injured, with Kelvin Cato and rookie Eddie Griffin on the inside, and Steve Francis and Glenn Rice as outside firefighters.

Jump ball.

Kelvin Cato is also 211 cm tall, but his bounce is too bad for me, and I shoot the basketball to the backcourt, and Tyrone Lushun gets the ball.

Dribbling to the frontcourt, Steve Francis stared at Tyrone Lue, leaning to the right to prevent Tyrone Lux from passing to Michael Jordan.

As soon as Tyrone Lu saw the opportunity, his shoulders sank, and he rushed to the left side of Francis, who followed Tyrone Lu's pace closely with his nimble steps, and kept squeezing Tyrone Lu's small body with his strong body, squeezing him out.

Tyrone Rue doesn't have Nash's skills, he can't see the position of his teammates once he runs, and he has only two endings: shoot! Or lose!

In Francis's flank defense and Kelvin Cato's frontal defense, Tyrone Lu rose into the air, jumped high, and in order to avoid Kelvin Cato's big palm, he raised his shot, and the basketball bounced out when it touched the rebound.

Kelvin Cato went to fill in the position, I was empty, I was facing the basket, I jumped high, grabbed the falling basketball with my left hand and slammed it to the basket! Two points are available!

There was a wave of boos from the audience. This is the home court of the Rockets.

I looked at my palm, the palm was a little painful, and the power I used just now was a bit big, but the feeling of dunking was obviously much cooler than shooting outside the three-point line, at least a lot.

Steve Francis was obviously disdainful of Tyrone Lue's defense, using his strong body to directly crush Tyrone Lue, and before I came out to make up for it, a pull-up jumper, in basketball, simple and capable, unreasonable.

Doug Collins signaled on the sidelines to play the interior and take advantage of the interior offense, although the Wizards' interior is not very good, and my famous center skills are very poor, but the Rockets' interior is more adequate.

Tyrone Lu put the ball in my hands and Kelvin Cato was clearly not as strong as me, but he was stuck in position. 1-on-1, I'm not sure, but I don't mind trying my new tricks. I bent down and dribbled and hit Kelvin Cato hard with my back, and the moment he was out of position, I made a big turn, and half a position under the basket was enough to pass Kelvin Cato from the baseline, and I jumped up, raised my left hand and gently sent the basketball to the basket, and the basketball fell into the basket very obediently.

"Boy, that's good! What a result of the practice! But you want to invite me to dinner and thank me as a teacher! Christian Leitner patted my cute little ass and said ambiguously.

"Back to Washington, take your pick!" I replied proudly.

"What are you doing there! Defend yourself! Michael Jordan looked angry.

I don't know what happened, Francis passed me like a wind, and Christian Leitner and I could only watch as Francis once again coquettishly crushed our defense, ending the round with a coquettish tomahawk dunk as Steve Francis stood under the basket and screamed, venting his feelings.

"What are you two doing? Focus! Michael Jordan yelled, expressing his displeasure with the two of us just now.

Christian Leitner grimaced at me again, then shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands out in frustration.

The Wizards were determined to play inside, Christian Leitner and I took on the offensive firepower, and Michael Jordan and Richard Hamilton also played for us. In the face of the very rookie Rockets inside, Christian and I are winning consecutive battles, and the Rockets can only rely on the breakthrough shots of Steve Francis and Catino Mobley to score, the closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, the higher the shooting percentage, obviously the Rockets are difficult to compare with us in terms of shooting percentage, and the score is slowly pulling away.

Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic is also a famous coach, but he has too few cards in his hand, too few players available on the inside, and two good ones are still on the injury list. But he was not willing to be bloodied at home.

The Rockets took a timeout, replaced Glen Rice and replaced 2o8cm rookie Eddie Griffin, replaced a guard, and replaced an interior lineman in an attempt to strengthen the interior defense.

As soon as Doug Collins saw the opponent's tactics, he immediately made gestures and made tactical adjustments, replacing Tyrone Lue with Brandon Haywood, allowing Michael Jordan to control the ball, forming a situation of three big and two small, but when attacking, I pulled to the outside to shoot open three-pointers, so that the Wizards completely formed a misalignment advantage when attacking on the outside, and none of the three shooters were easy to defend, Richard Hamilton, Michael Jordan, plus the three of us made the Rockets' outside defense completely useless, as long as they messed with the ball on the outside, An open shot will be formed.

The game lost suspense early, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets replaced all the main players, and the Wizards also accepted it when they saw it, and sent the soy sauce party to kill time.

I had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 4 assists and 5 turnovers. Michael Jordan may be because of his body, and his shooting is not very strong, as long as 17 points are in the account, but Richard Hamilton is very good, scoring a game-high 27 points, so the best of the game is given to him.
