Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 26 The determination of the Lithuanians

The second quarter begins.

The Rockets replaced Saulius and Bodi Roga.

This season, the Rockets' European double stars have also made a name for themselves in the NBA.

As an excellent swingman, Saulius has strength, body, confrontation, sudden ability to shoot, and resolute tactical execution.

A very good defensive player and team player.

Bodi Roga's wonderful performance in the 96 Olympics shocked the entire NBA, and his perfect performance in the contest with the Dream Team made all the teams coveted.

After replacing the bench, the Rockets are very mobile, with center Ben Wallace, power forward Malik Rose, small forward Saulius, shooting guard Bodi Roga, and point guard Cassel.

The impact of this lineup is top-notch.The scoring ability is strong.

The Bulls can only let Pippen take Cole, Kukoc, Wennington and Harper to fight on the court.

The Rockets' main force is sitting off the court to rest.

Before playing, Lao Tang said to Saulius: "Sboga, is your opponent's Pippen difficult?"

"Of course, the coach is one of the top [-] superstars in the NBA." Saulius felt that the coach's question was a bit strange.

"Hehe, I don't think it's too difficult." Lao Tang smiled mysteriously.

"No way, coach, does Pippen have any weaknesses." Saulius looked at the mysterious old Tang.

"Pippen is very comprehensive, he basically has no weaknesses, but he is weak today." Lao Tang said confidently.

"Today's weakness, I don't really understand the coach." Saulius shook his head seriously.

"His weakness today is that the three-pointer is not very accurate today. In the first quarter, he missed 3 shots, so you can take a step to defend his breakthrough. Now that Jordan is not on the court, they lack powerful scoring. Point, so Pippen will take the initiative to become the main offensive force in the second quarter, you can put him one step away. And when you are on the offensive, you have to pull him out of the perimeter so that he cannot effectively double-team your teammates , so that we can catch up with them as soon as possible, so I said you have a difficult day but you also have a chance, do you understand, kid." Lao Tang asked.

"Understood, coach, then he wants to organize the offense." Saulius asked another question.

"Leave him alone and trust your teammates." Lao Tang patted Saulius on the buttocks and signaled them to come on stage.

Bulls attack, or Pippen controls the ball.

Looking at the white man in front of him, Pippen knew that this kid was from Lithuania.

I met him at the Olympics. I was still very immature at that time and I don’t know how Rudy is training me now.

"Boy, are you defending me in the second quarter?" Pippen was still very interested in his defense.

"Yes, I am your opponent." Saulius who came on the field said very little.

"Boy, we met at the Olympics, do you think you can guard me." Pippen looked at the young man.

"I don't know, but I will do my best to stop you." Saulius didn't say much, but he was very serious.

"Well, I'll wait and see." After speaking, Pippen shook, and the cross step was about to break through.

It's a pity that Saulius doesn't eat fake moves at all.

Still staring steadily at Pippen's shoulder.

"It's not bad, then I'm going to be serious." Before he could finish speaking, Pippen protruded forward, opened a body distance, then pulled back with a dribble under his crotch, and took off for a three-pointer.

The action is very beautiful, it is a pity that the ball was not scored.

The rebound was taken by Bodi Roga.

Seeing that Kassel was about to go down.

Throwing his hands forward vigorously, Cassel chased after him in the direction he was looking at.

As for Pippen who missed the ball, Sam ran back.

When Cassell caught the ball, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pippen's quick return to defense.

After catching the ball, Cassel was not greedy for credit, and directly threw it high.

Ben Wallace, who plugged in at high speed in his own backcourt, was already in the opponent's paint area.

With this ball, Wallace had a strong waist and abdomen, his legs stretched, and he grabbed the ball with both hands.

Made a small loop in the air, and a dunk ended the attack.

It's easy to pass, and it's hot to buckle.

Everyone in the Rockets on the bench jumped up excitedly, waving their white towels.

"You're great, Sam." Ben Wallace, with a black face, smiled happily.

He felt a lot of warmth in the Rockets.

Although Olajuwon is the boss, he is not as domineering as other bosses.

Drexler is a good big brother.

Kevin is also a very nice guy to get along with.

The other teammates are also very good, and he likes this atmosphere very much.

And a lot can be learned here.

Dameng's footsteps, back body, shooting skills and so on.

Someone will tell you without reservation, the coaching staff will make a separate training plan for you.

After training every day, professional masseuses and physical therapists will give you massage and physical therapy.

There is also a special plane to go out to the game.

The most important thing is that the players here have a heart to win and have a chance to win a championship.

Ben Wallace thought to himself, as long as the team doesn't want me, then I will retire in the Rockets.

Everyone was excited to see a good dunk.

The enthusiasm for defense is even higher.

Pippen ran into Saulius again.

This time Pippen didn't choose his assault.

He wants to mobilize his teammates.

Control the ball yourself.

Kukoc suddenly enters the paint from the perimeter.

Pippen passes the ball immediately.

Kukoc received the ball and made a ground pass, which was passed to Haber who cut in from the other side.

Harper made a layup.

Unfortunately, Bodi Roga has returned to defense.

With a light touch in the air, the ball is broken out of the baseline.

Haber looked at Bodi Roga without saying a word, and shook his head.

Turn away.

Seeing the team return without success twice, Phil Jackson yelled from the sidelines: "Run, run, run the tactics." Then he gestured to Pippen.

Seeing this gesture, Pippen knew that it was Jackson asking him to strengthen his offense.

Shooting, the touch is really not very good.

Breakthrough, that Lithuanian kid stands so deep just to prevent your breakthrough.

Passing the ball, I passed it just now, what should I do if my teammates don't live up to it.

Big head.

Looking at the Lithuanian kid in front of him, Pippen really has a headache now.

The body is strong, the reaction speed is not slow, and the speed is also there.

What should I do.

The Bulls' offense hit a bottleneck.

It is now 35 to 31, and the Rockets have slowly caught up.

It is still a breakthrough, and we are working harder.

Pippen, holding the ball, took a deep breath.

This time there is no need to feint, it depends on your own speed.

Looking at the opponent, with a sudden acceleration, Pippen has his own strong body, and suddenly opened an assault channel from Saulius' side.

One stride into the paint.

At this time, Malik Rose saw Pippen break through and came in, and stood on Pippen's assault channel with a step, waiting for Pippen to hit himself.

Seeing that he was already prepared, Pippen unhurriedly flipped his wrist and passed the ball directly to Kukoc.

There was no one around Kukoc either, and he had to shoot after catching the ball.

But at the moment of the shot, a big hand hit the ball directly, hitting the ball out of the baseline.

Kukoc looked back and saw that it was Saulius.

Saulius had a very clear awareness. He believed in his teammates. When he was blocked by Malik Rose, Saulius had already aimed at Kukoc, the man who was let go.

He also gave Kukoc a steal with clean hands and feet.

That staunch Lithuanian still sabotaged Pippen's offense.

And Pippen looked at the Lithuanian who had just been broken by himself, and shook his head.

I said in my heart that the boss of the Rockets found so many outstanding young people there.

If these young people go ahead with such development, how can others survive.

And they didn't expect that the strength of the Bulls was already a demon in the eyes of others.

Looking at the completely suppressed Bulls on the field, Jackson could only replace Jordan and Rodman in advance.

In the second quarter, in the 5th minute, the score was 39 to 37, and the Bulls led by 2 points.

After replacing the main force, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman began to exert the power of the best trio.

The Rockets are still playing on the bench with one vote.

With the tacit cooperation, the Rockets' bench lineup was beaten by the Bulls 12:4.

Let others open up a gap of 3 points in 10 minutes.

The Rockets also replaced the main force in the last 4 minutes.

The double reverse was tied in the last 4 minutes.

61:51
The Bulls entered the locker room with a 10-point gap.

The third is more, work hard towards the fourth.
