Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

The 19-95 season ended in Chapter 96
On January 1, the Rockets played against the Chicago Bulls at home.

After 4 contests, the Rockets lost to the Chicagoans for the second time this season with a score of 87 to 98.

Under the leadership of Jordan, the Chicagoans are moving towards the end of their miracle.

Teams across the league have been trampled under their feet, and no one can stop the Bulls racing all the way.

As for the Rockets, it is obviously a trend of driving high and going low, which is embarrassing, last year's championship.

This year it fell.

However, even the Rockets, which are no longer the best news material in the eyes of the media, still have their own shining points.

Houston Chronicle reporter Roger Williams, a columnist for the Rockets, described in such an article:

"The Rockets make an ambitious team. Their age structure is reasonable, full of centripetal force, and the locker room is even more united. They have 'Big Dream', 'Glider', 'Mr. Key', and 'King of Cramp Dance'. Aliens' has 'Euro Guys' and 'Spiderman' and they have a championship coach Rudy Tomjanovich, a great general manager Mr. Dawson, and a boss who dares to spend money for the Rockets Mr. Tiger Jones, a prominent figure in the financial circles across the United States. It is difficult for such a team to succeed. Although this year's Chicagoans are in full swing, can they guarantee permanent invincibility? ? Haha, as long as they are a little distracted, our rockets will step on their corpses and become strong."

As soon as the report came out, there was a war of words.

Chicago Tribune reporter Richard Emmons fired back:

"The Rockets want to step on the Bulls. It's the dead body. 100 years ago, with the current configuration of the Rockets, the old ones, the small ones, how can they be compared with Chicago. The Bulls' home and away double kills against the Rockets are proof.|"

The New York Times, Washington Post and many other newspapers in the United States have reported on this incident.

And CNN, BBC and many other TV stations also reported the matter.

For a while, that was really drooling.

In February, the Rockets scored 2 wins and 8 losses, which is not bad.

Although there is no way to compare with the Bulls' abnormal record.

But it is also firmly in the top four in the West.

At the rarest time, Kevin Garnett and Dejan Bodiroga became the second or third rookies.

And the first one was Stoudemire who was later called 'Little Flying Squirrel'.

And his excellent realization in the Grizzlies is actually based on the poor performance of the Grizzlies.

Time to enter March.

Because of the consecutive injuries of 'Dameng' and 'Glider'.

This caused the Rockets' record to decline, but with the efforts of a group of young people, the Rockets still kept their top four results in the Western Conference.

And Garnett was named the Western Conference player of the month.

With 'Dream' injured, Garnett averaged 22.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.3 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game, leading the team to 14 victories in 9 games in the month. It is rare.

Under such circumstances, 'Big Dream' and 'Glider' followed the doctor's advice and rested for a full 10 games, taking good care of their bodies. (Actually, in March of the 95-96 season, the Rockets lost another 3 games in a row. Hey, they opened the Golden Finger. Don’t be surprised.)
Prepare for the upcoming playoffs.

In April, the new 'Dream' and 'Glider' performed well.

率领火箭一波7连胜，全月9胜2负的成绩进军季后赛。（实际上是6胜5负。）
Throughout the regular season, the Rockets ranked third with 55 wins and 27 losses and the Jazz. Due to the regional record, the Jazz ranked third and the Rockets fourth.

(In fact, it is 48 wins and 34 losses, ranking fifth, and the fourth is the Lakers, 53 wins and 29 losses. I don’t want to add 7 victories too far, so everyone will not hit me.)
The arrival of the playoffs is even more brutal.

The Rockets met the Lakers in the first round, who also had 'Magic' Johnson.

Johnson is really old, and was beaten by Yugoslavian Bodi Roga in the contest with the Rockets backcourt.

Let Bodi Roga average 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists in a quasi-triple double.

Heroes are late.

And the first round of the playoffs swept the Lakers 3:0, making everyone exclaimed that the Rockets from a year ago are back.

（实际是是1；3.第一场83比87，第二场104比94，第三场98比104，第四场94比102）

The semifinals in the Western Conference are the Seattle SuperSonics against the Rockets.

It can be said that supersonic speed is the nemesis of rockets.

In the regular season, they swept the Rockets 4; 0.

The Rockets who played had no temper at all.

Gary Payton, Sean Kemp is the pinnacle.

Add Schramf, and a bunch of shooters.

How amazing.

In the first game, the Sonics defended the 'Big Dream' very successfully. They made 9 of 3 shots and only scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

The angry 'Big Dream' scolded her mother, and the other players all played abnormally.

In the first game, 108 to 80, they were brutally killed. (actually 108 to 75).

In the second round, 'Big Dream' regained its touch.

17 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, but it is not him who decides the outcome, but the outside shooters of the Rockets and Supersonics.

This is definitely a three-point battle that will be recorded in history.

Check out our list of three-point heroes.

Mike, Milan 5 out of 5.
Hawkins 3 for 3.

Escu 2 in 2.
Brikowski 2 of 2
Perkins and Payton 5 for 3
rocket side
Horry 7 for 4
Drexler 4 for 3
Kenny Smith is 3 for 3 (actually not so accurate.)
Mark Jackson 4 for 2 (actually nothing else.)
Bodi Roga is 3 of 2 (actually nothing else.)
The Rockets withstood the Sonics' three-point rain on the road.

And his own three-point rain wiped out the Supersonics. They won the game 109 to 105 in the away game and stole a victory.

(Actually lost 105 to 101, but that game was really crazy, whether it was the Rockets or the Supersonics)
In the third game, the Rockets wanted to continue their magic.

大梦24分13个篮板9个助攻准三双，德雷克斯勒28分，肯尼·史密斯三分球5投5中全场28分，加内特12分7个篮板（实际没加内特的事啊），几乎就要胜利了。

It's a pity that Payton and Schramf scored 28 points, plus Kemp's 21 points and 18 rebounds.

Especially in the last minute, Brikowski's two three-pointers completely defeated the Rockets and lost at home with three-pointers.

In the fourth game, the red-eyed Supersonics.

Started a crazy offense, Kemp 32 points and 15 rebounds, Payton 24 points, Schramf 20 points.

A mad attack hit the Rockets.

And the Rockets are like a big Texas cockroach, they just can't be killed.Olajuwon had 26 points, Horry had 20 points and 12 rebounds, Drexler had 15 points and 15 rebounds, and they entangled the Supersonics to overtime. 114 to 107 got the match point.

Game 4 (No, the Rockets were swept 0-[-] that year.)
Garnett, who was suppressed by Kemp for 4 games, began to break out, scoring 35 points and 17 rebounds, making Supersonics coach George Karl break into a cold sweat.

Cassel and Bodi Roga jointly sent 40 points and 17 assists, which made Payton extremely painful.

再加上大梦的17分，滑翔机的16分，全场5人上双的成绩122比115打出了季后赛少见的高比分。

The Rockets are pulling back a round.

In Game [-], George Karl gave the Sonics a death order, and he must not give this Texan another chance.

The example of the Suns leading the Rockets by 3; 1 was not a very long time.

The Supersonics, who had no way out, began to redeem themselves at their home court.

Kemp's large double-double of 25 points and 20 rebounds, Payton's 26 points and 15 assists, and Schramf's 19 points gave him the victory.

However, the Rockets had a chance at the end. 35 seconds before the finale, the Supersonics led by 2 points. Kenny Smith missed a three-pointer. Kemp grabbed the most important rebound of the game and choked him. the throat of one's own destiny.

107 to 102, the Sonics narrowly won by 5 points.

And in the other series of games, I saw that the Rockets, who were not trampled to death by the Suns 95:3 in 1, were accepted by the Supersonics.

The Spurs and Jazz are a little scared.In the end, the Spurs went home and the Jazz advanced.

Western Conference Finals, Sonics vs. Jazz
In the first game, the Supersonic bloodbathed the Jazz 102 to 72.
The Supersonics had six players in double figures, which made the Jazz very depressed.

In the second game, Jazz Malone recovered with 32 points and 13 rebounds, Hornacek scored 22 points, and Stockton made 8 of 5 shots.

However, the Sonics relied on Perkins and McMillan's 24 points to get through, and the Sonics were in the next game 91 to 87.

In the third game, the Jazz returned to the home court to fight to the death.

马龙28分18个篮板，霍纳塞克28分8篮板7助攻，拉塞尔24分10篮板，扳回一局。

The fourth game continued at the Jazz's home court.

Malone had 25 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, and Hornacek had 19 points, but Stockton was out of order under Payton's defense.

In the end, it relied on Perkins' 20 points, Kemp's 19 points, and Payton's 18 points.

With Stockton missing 8.8 points in the last 3 seconds, 88 to 86, the Sonics got the match point for the second time.

In the fifth game, Malone and Hornacek jointly scored 56 points, while Karl and Russell also scored 16 points and 15 points. Kemp's 98 is divided into useless work.

game six.The Jazz, who returned to Salt Lake City, played at the highest level since the start of the game.

Malone had 32 points, Hornacek had 23 points, and Stockton had 14 and 12 assists respectively.

Defeated the Sonics by a huge advantage of 35 points.

In this way, the decisive battle of Game [-] started at the Key Arena of the Sonics.

In the last game of the series, both sides were very careful, but Stockton played well, scoring 22 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals. Malone also scored 22 points.

Ultimately, however, the Jazz fell to Malone's horrendous free-throw shooting, making 12 of 6 free throws.

In the end, the Jazz fell under the guns of the Supersonics, 90:86.
Jazz go home.

However, in the final finals, the Bulls almost secured the victory in the first three games.

The next two losses to the Sonics were nothing more than the Bulls dozing off.

6 month 16 number

In Game 87, the Bulls beat the Sonics 75-[-].

全年常规赛72胜10负，季后赛15胜3负，全年比赛87胜13负，笑傲全联盟。

At this point, the second dynasty of the Bulls began.

The owner of the Rockets, our pig-footed Mr. Tiger Jones, is enjoying his trip to the Caribbean with a group of beauties.

But a call from Houston, he had to go back home in Houston to study the upcoming draft.

The 96 draft, the arrival of the golden generation.
