Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 18
"Our crisis is coming, boys. There is still a gap of 13 points in a quarter. This score may not be a big deal for other teams, but for a team like the Bulls, this score is enough for them to take the lead. Keep it until the end of the game, let us go home with failure, so in the last quarter of the game, we must make changes. When we can't strengthen our defense, we must strengthen our offense. In the fourth quarter, Brad and Mark changed Play Garnett and Clyde, Brad stares at Kukoc when defending, Dejan, you go to match up with Jordan, and Rodt moves in to play power forward. When attacking, it is still resolute to play Hakeem Point, if you double-team, pass the ball. Remember to receive the ball from the inside, and you must throw it resolutely. Don’t hesitate. When you get the ball inside, Mark, you play singles, no matter if it’s Harper or Cole, if Kukoc comes up to defend you, you know what to do, understand.” Lao Tang arranged the tactics for the last quarter of the game.

"Understood, I'll shake him like a tree stump." Mark nodded his dark head.

"Okay, get ready to play." Lao Tang patted Mark Jackson's butt.

The Rockets turned around and played, preparing for the last quarter of the game.

Lao Tang, who sat on the coach's bench, sighed.

Tiger, who was sitting behind him, asked: "What's the matter Rudy, are you not confident about this game?"

Lao Tang nodded and said: "Yeah, I really don't have much confidence. This year's Bulls are very strong. This year's Michael, Scott and Dennis are all at their peak. With the addition of such excellent characters as Cole, Kukoc and Haber Players are also their own peak. They will create a miracle this year, and I personally estimate that no one can break this miracle in the next 10 years. And we started after winning the championship last season It's going downhill. Although it has been strengthened, Kevin is a rookie. This is our biggest shortcoming. We can't complement Hakeem inside. When defending, Kevin tends to lose his position, but most of the time it is Ha It is very worrying for Kim to defend Kevin. Once Hakeem is knocked out, our defensive level inside will drop a few notches. The Bulls have won the championship, and it's useless for anyone to go up." After speaking, he folded his hands on his shoulders and watched the game silently.

On the court, the Chicagoans are still playing the triangle offense that has been deeply embedded in their bones.

Mark Jackson, Pippen's ball-holding organization, stood in front of him and defended him. Seeing that Longley's position was killed by Olajuwonka, there was no chance, so he immediately gestured.

Seeing the gesture, Rodman immediately moved towards the direction of the ball. Rodman's defender Horry immediately inserted into Pippen's passing path. Moving around the basket, Pippen used his height advantage to make a high-profile pass to Rodman.

'Flower Tiger' caught the ball, made a layup and scored.

It was too relaxed. Looking at the relaxed expression of the Bulls players, everyone in the Rockets hated it, but there was nothing they could do.

His air cuts, off-ball screens, and rotation to block people are really too proficient.

Fluid, natural, tacit understanding, without artificiality, this is the performance of the Bulls on the court now.

On the other hand, the Rockets can only rely on it. The singles of Olajuwon and Mark Jackson struggled to get points.

The level of the two sides is clear at a glance, and the score quickly increased to more than 20 points.

In front of the Bulls' unparalleled attacking power, the Rockets finally surrendered.

With 6 minutes left in the game, Lao Tang replaced Olajuwon, Mark Jackson and other main players.

Let Kenny Smith play the Bulls with a bunch of backups.

The Bulls are the same, replacing Jordan, Pippen and other main players.

The two sides gave the garbage time to the substitutes to deal with.

However, the Rockets' bench was not bad. They caught up with a few points in the last 6 minutes, and finally lost to the Bulls 100 to 90.

Jordan made 22 of 12 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. He was named the best player in the game.

As for the Rockets, Olajuwon had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Garnett had 13 points and 9 rebounds, and there was another big hot pot for the boss. They played very well, after all, they are a rookie.

Drexler had 15 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds, while Podiroga also scored 8 points and 5 assists in limited playing time, which is not easy.

Others, Mark Jackson 10 points, 8 assists, Horry scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Kassel 10 points and 2 assists
Although the five scored in double figures, they still lost to the overall stronger Chicago Bulls.

After the press conference.

Everyone in the Rockets, everyone in the Rockets feels a little heavy to be on the special plane.

Although he lost to the Bulls, the number one player in the league, whoever lost was unhappy after all.

"Guys, what's the matter with you, it seems that you went to Las Vegas and lost your wives to the casino, one by one downcast." Looking at the situation on the plane, Tiger, the boss, had to Speak up to adjust the atmosphere.

"Boss, I know what you want to say, but we all know that this is our own problem, don't worry, in the 82 regular season games throughout the year, no team can maintain a complete victory, and it is reasonable to lose Among them." Olajuwon said while sitting aside.

"That's good, hehe. Actually, I also watched today's game. You really tried your best. I can only say that this year's Bulls are really strong. However, it is impossible for the Bulls to maintain this state every day. , we still have time to meet them." Seeing this, Tiger encouraged him.

"The boss is right. Every team has its own peaks and valleys. Everyone must firmly believe that we are strong." Lao Tang also came over and said.

"Hey, guys, do you know that we are actually unlucky today, do you know why??" Tiger said mysteriously.

"Why are we unlucky today." Everyone was a little surprised.

"Hey, it's said that Jordan didn't wash his North Carolina underwear yesterday, and Jordan has become a superman today." Tiger said solemnly.

"Pfft" everyone sprayed.

That one was all smiles.

"Ahahahahaha, boss, you are too talented and capable, ah, no, I laughed so hard." The bitch Smith rolled on the ground laughing.

"No, boss, you are too capable, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh of. ,

"I think so, Boss, you must not let Michael know, that paranoid, haha, I laughed to death." Drexler couldn't help laughing too.

In the laughter of everyone, the atmosphere of decadence and failure of losing to the Bulls completely dissipated in the laughter of everyone.

And back to Houston for a day off, the Rockets faced the Indiana Pacers.

99 to 87 to win.

Then they lost at home to the Spurs led by David Robinson.

Well, the reason for the failure was that Dameng was injured and suspended for five games.

Looking at the admiral who is raging inside, finding a qualified substitute for Dameng will be the key to this year's draft.

However, it can only be a substitute. In the future, when Yao is not here, the Rockets will not be a center-based team.

Because there are too few good centers in the future.

In the post-Dream era of the Rockets, it will be an era with Kevin Garnett as the core.

Coupled with an excellent perimeter player, a defensive small forward, a coolie center and a point guard who can fully distribute the ball.

Plus a substitute role player.

In this way, after Jordan left.

The Sharks settled in Los Angeles.

Formation of the Texas Twin Towers.

And when Kings Princeton's style of play took shape.

Like the Rockets, they can become a strong contender for the championship.

The strongest team after the league is in the west, and the cruel competition is also in the west.

And Tiger Jones, who knows the future very well, knows that the opportunity is also in the West.

If you can become the king of the West, then the championship is in your pocket.
