Chapter Fifty-Eight: "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rashid Wallace!
27 November 2002.
The Rockets host a challenge from the Portland Trail Blazers.
This game was still broadcast by Huaxia.
Starting this season, all of the Rockets' games will be broadcast in China.
In the Huaxia broadcast room, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun sat in their seats with a hint of joy on their faces.
I can explain the top matches of the Chinese people abroad, and I have won all of these games recently.
This is what every narrator dreams of doing.
"Director Zhang, it's a pleasure to be with you again today to explain the Rockets' game." Su Qun said with a smile.
Zhang Weiping nodded, and said with a hint of joy on his face: "Yes, it is a pleasure to explain the game of Team Rocket." Ever since I started commentating on NBA games, I've always wanted to see a Chinese star in the NBA. Now the Rockets not only have two Huaxia players, but also a Huaxia head coach! It can be said that the Rockets are our home team in the NBA. ”
Su Qun heard Zhang Weiping talk about Han Ning, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Director Zhang, I don't know if you have heard of a gambling contract that has been in the NBA league recently?!" I don't know what you think about this bet?! ”
"You're talking about a bet on whether the Rockets can win fifteen in a row?! I've heard of that, of course. But in good conscience, I don't think the Rockets will be able to win fifteen in a row. The NBA is the top basketball league. Han Ning is still a little young after all. You must know that in the next nine games of the Rockets, there were two back-to-back games. One of the back-to-backs was an away game, and the players had to travel long distances and it was difficult to guarantee their form. And the opponents in these nine games are strong opponents like the Spurs and Grizzlies. ”
After Su Qun heard Zhang Weiping's point of view, he nodded in agreement.
But as a Huaxia commentator, he naturally wanted to support Han Ning.
Even if you are not optimistic in your heart, you have to do something for Han Ning in advance.
So he said: "Yes, as a manager in his twenties, it is not easy to achieve the current results. I don't think it hurts if the Rockets don't win fifteen in a row. It was a very good experience for Han Ning. ”
Compared with the commentary of the two, the views discussed by Huaxia fans on the Internet are completely different.
"I won't say much, just one sentence. Brother Ning NB! I know it all! ”
"What's wrong with fifteen consecutive wins?! With Da Yao, coupled with Brother Ning's coaching ability, there is definitely hope! ”
"Isn't it just an NBA! How hard can it be to win fifteen in a row?! ”
"Brother Ning, NB! Brother Ning, come on! Come on, Team Rocket! ”
At present, domestic fans have not watched too many NBA games, and they don't particularly know this league. So the concept of a fifteen-game winning streak is not so clear-cut.
In addition, the Rockets have played very beautifully under the leadership of Han Ning in these games.
Therefore, most fans are still very supportive of Han Ning and the Rockets.
Even a small number of fans who know how difficult it is to win fifteen in a row do not dare to come out and say something at this time.
But no matter what, now except for these fans in China, it seems that no one else wants to believe that Han Ning can lead the Rockets to a fifteen-game winning streak.
Even Barkley, who bet he could win, didn't think so in his heart.
"Toot!"
The competition has officially begun.
Da Yao couldn't grab the ball under the hand-toss with Dale Davis.
Portland Trail Blazers offense.
Derrick Anderson came up front with the ball and then passed it straight to Scottie Pippen.
Scottie Pippen, who used to be Jordan's best helper, still averaged 10.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game to the Trail Blazers in his career.
This shows how strong Scottie Pippen is.
But Battier, who was in charge of defending him, was not at all afraid.
No matter what, Scottie Pippen is already old.
Scottie Pippen pushed the ball to the top of the arc and glanced up at Battier, a smile suddenly appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Then suddenly he picked up speed and sprinted towards Battier's left side.
Battier hurriedly used his lateral speed to keep up and keep Scottie Pippen at bay.
Scottie Pippen looked up at Battier in some surprise.
In the past, he had only heard that Battier was good defensively.
But a young player is not enough for him to pay so much attention, so he hasn't studied it very carefully.
It turned out to be a bit of a slap in the face.
Battier not only stopped him, but also quickly moved some distance, typifying Scottie Pippen to tell him that he could shoot if he wanted to, but he couldn't break through.
Scottie Pippen's three-point ability is not great, and the scoring tools he can use are basically relying on breakthroughs and mid-range shots.
So Battier also chose to defend against the burst and not to shoot.
Seeing this scene, Scottie Pippen didn't force it and passed the basketball directly to the inside.
The Portland Trail Blazers' roaring Rashid Wallace received a pass and then turned to face the basket and looked at Morris Taylor, who was defending him.
Rasheed Wallace dribbled with his right hand, slowly took two steps back, and when he stepped back to a step inside the three-point line, he suddenly got up and rushed inside.
Maurice Taylor hurried up to the plate, trying to defend.
However, Rasheed Wallace Howe did not slow down, and directly pushed on Morris Taylor's body, forcing the inside line to push into the penalty area.
After rushing to the basket in two steps, after pushing off Morris Taylor, his legs were bent, the muscles in his calves bulged, and he jumped hard to dunk directly.
Such a vigorous style of play made Da Yao a little stunned.
It took half a second to react before he reacted, hurriedly shook off Derek Anderson behind him, stepped forward, and jumped up to block Rashid Wallace.
However, he was a step slower.
Before he could jump to the top of his game, Rashid Wallace's hand in the air was already slamming into the basket.
“Ba
g! ”
A one-handed split buckle directly set Da Yao back two steps.
Rashid Wallace dunked Da Yao!
He opened his right arm and slammed twice into his left chest, opening his mouth and roaring.
"Roar!!
This one shot alone shows just how wild Rashid Wallace's style of play really is.
Da Yao clutched his chest, glanced at Rashid Wallace's back with an uncomfortable expression, and the strength of not admitting defeat in his heart also came up.
Han Ning stood on the sidelines, and his heart was even more unhappy.
shouted at Da Yao: "Da Yao! Give me back! Kill him! ”
