Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 279
My name is JA Adande, and I am the basketball columnist for the Los Angeles Times.When I got home, I ignored my physical exhaustion and sat next to my workbench, because the seventh game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers had just ended. This is the most classic playoffs in ten years, which is enough Let me forget about fatigue and come to write my topic.

It's really enjoyable, I haven't seen such a game for a long time, when I was excitedly writing a special report on this series, a phone ringing made me distracted, I picked up the phone annoyed and said loudly: " Whoever you are, if you can't come up with a reason that satisfies me, you're dead."

"JA, what's wrong with you boy, you've lost your relationship or contracted AIDS, so angry." I knew who it was when I heard it, Mark Stein, this bitch, this kid just joined ESPN as a sports writer, I was a little bit Resignedly said: "Okay buddy, what's the matter with you, you have to know, I'm writing a special report now, if there's nothing else, I don't have much time to talk to you."

"Okay, actually, I'm also writing a special topic, just want to hear your opinion." After hearing what Mark Stein said, I not only complained, what do you mean, ask my opinion, and then you write it on the special topic, I have Are you that stupid?

After thinking for a while, I said directly: "Okay, Mark, my opinions are all in my topic. You will find out tomorrow after reading it. There is nothing to hang up." I hung up the phone, then unplugged the phone line directly, returned to my workbench, and continued the topic I hadn't finished writing in front of the computer.

It is a little difficult to pick up the interrupted train of thought. I can only recall the classic 7-game battle between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers.I lit a cigarette, and I leaned back in my chair. Under the smoke, I appeared again in the match between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers in a trance.

What date did the first game of this series start? Well, I can’t remember. I just remember that when I was going to Houston that day, because of a plane failure, when I appeared at the Rockets’ home stadium, Sky Arena, both sides The first quarter of the game is over, I can only find my place out of breath, next to me is a very hot hot girl, with an extremely hot figure, a light yellow T-shirt and light blue jeans, outline With the blood spurting curves, good face, long chestnut hair, light blue eyes, fair skin, and a charming smile, when I saw it for the first time, I was simply drawn to it. was melted.

At that time, I thought, this is simply a gift from God. If anyone can be this girl's boyfriend, he will definitely see God a few years earlier. .

Just when I was about to fight, the second quarter between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers began. I had a difficult choice between bread and beauty. If you don’t have bread, what beauty can to be with you.

When I suppressed the heat in my heart and put my attention on the court, I was immediately attracted, because I saw two teams with futures fighting on the court.

When my attention is drawn to the court, I can hardly believe I'm watching a Western Conference semifinal.God, why two teams that are capable of winning the championship started fighting at this time, I really don't know why.

Several young players from the two teams have demonstrated their unparalleled ability and potential.

But in my eyes today, the most outstanding one is the big Chinese man of the Rockets. He is like Optimus Prime in Transformers today. He almost dominated the inside lines of both sides today. How can I describe him? This kid has the potential to become the league's top star, as long as he can adapt his body and strength to the NBA game.

Oh man, what did I see, that Chinese kid did a trick in front of the Roof of the World, throwing the ball behind his back to Ray Allen.

Then, Ray Allen made a wonderful dunk, how did that kid do it, his eye saw Ray Allen appear in that position, superhuman sense of basketball.

However, the Trail Blazers began to fight back not to be outdone. The high school student known as O'Neill Jr. performed very dazzlingly today. The defense is still a little immature, facing the Blazers' ever-changing inside tactics and positioning, some can't cope.

The young people of the two teams are showing their abilities. The Chinese kid is 20 years old and O'Neal is 21 years old. I seem to see that they are the best insiders in the next 10 years, and they are showing us their abilities.

There are only a handful of people in the league who can have such potential. The Chinese kid’s teammate Kevin Garnett is such a character. He is not very old, but he already has two championship rings in his hands. He can already Prove that he is the best, and against Rasheed Wallace, although he has a very thin temper, you can't help but admit that he will be one of Garnett's strongest opponents, as well as the general manager of the Spurs. He is a cool kid, the king is also on the road to revival, and their core Chris Webber is also such a person, and from today on, these two people will be added to the names of these people.

I have never been so excited like today. The two teams in front of me have given too many surprises. These two teams are shining like two gold mines.

I don't know how long my excitement lasted, but what I know is that when I woke up, the game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers was over.

I looked at the huge score in the middle of the field in a daze. When the game was over, the Rockets defeated the opponent 96:90. Looking at the Rockets fans who had already started to leave the field, I couldn't help but look back at the beautiful woman beside me .

As I expected, the beauty is gone. Hey, I don’t know when I will see it again. After thinking about it, I immediately packed up my things and walked directly to the press conference hall.

I knew that the press conferences of the two sides would not be anything interesting. The two old foxes, Rudy and Old Dunleavy, would not know any accurate news from the reporters.

The mutual compliments and compliments from both sides are nothing new. Even if the two scold their opponents bloody in their hearts, they are still gentlemen on the surface.

, I sighed for a while, and whispered: "The Rockets are really too powerful, but this year's Blazers have done a very good job. It seems that the Rockets are really not everyone can deal with."

The cigarette in his hand has been extinguished, and the ash has been flicked everywhere, but so what, isn't it like this in a man's room?I'm looking for reasons for my laziness.

I don't know how long it took, but the interrupted train of thought was slowly connected. I picked up my coffee cup and made myself a cup of strong Colombian coffee. I took a sip, and the slightly The bitter taste hit my taste buds, and made my drowsy brain wake up a bit.

Taking advantage of this waking moment, I hurried back to my workbench, put my hands on the keyboard, and typed at high speed, he wanted to finish his topic article as soon as possible.

In the sound of keyboard knocking, my memory went back to the third game between the Rockets and the Trail Blazers. The Rockets won two consecutive victories at home. Under tremendous pressure, the Blazers only scored 2 points in the whole game. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Blazers again 80:92.

The Blazers who returned to the home court accumulated huge strength in silence. There is no doubt that the Rockets are strong, but the Blazers players did not lose their confidence.

Old Dunleavy gave them great confidence. Rasheed Wallace is not a good leader, but he is a good big brother. All the young people on the team are his brothers, and the two big brother-level characters in the team , either for the ring or for the money, the two of them unanimously supported Rasheed Wallace.

When the third game started, Rasheed Wallace finally broke out. When I looked at the 'Roaring God' who scored 41 points, I knew this kid had found his goal.

I know Rashid very well, but I don't want to go to him at this time, he needs to give himself time to digest the experience that this game has brought him, he needs time.

Looking at the beard on that brat's face, I found it very funny.He was young and pretended to be mature, just like an old guy in his thirties, but it was quite scary to yell at someone like this.

100:92
The Rockets were defeated by the Trail Blazers in the away game. This is not a surprise, because the whole league knows that the Trail Blazers have such strength. They have a group of high-quality young people, they have a good coach, and they have a super rich boss. These are enough.

This group of players knows what they can do. When they faced the mighty Rockets, they didn't flinch at all. They knew the strength of their opponents, but they told the Rockets with their passion that we are not someone you can mess around with. .

The fourth game of the game is still in Portland. No one would have thought before the game that this game would be so tragic. When the game progressed to the 6th minute of the second quarter, Olajuwon, who came off the bench In the face of Ruben Patterson's dunk, without the slightest retreat, the two made the most tragic collision in the air.

The sound of the two colliding in the air was very dull, and the two fell down at the same time with a "bang". After Olajuwon landed, he covered his ribs with his hands and squatted directly on the floor. The Rockets players were a little surprised. But they quickly walked to their big brother's side.

The distance between me and them is a bit far, and I don’t know how Olajuwon is, but I know that Olajuwon must be very uncomfortable at this moment, because a 38-year-old man was hit by a young man in his 20s, Everyone knows what the consequences are like. Later I learned that Olajuwon broke 2 ribs and had to rest for at least 4 months.

It seems that Olajuwon has bid farewell to this playoffs. I hope it is not his last playoffs, because the time to watch this old guy perform is getting less and less.

The game paused for a few minutes. Everyone watched Olajuwon being supported by the crowd to leave the arena. They wondered if he would come back this time. Many people were silently praying, even the fans of the Blazers A round of applause to the old guy.

When the two sides entered the game again, the competition between the two sides on the field became bloody. The departure of the big brother of the team made the young people of the Rockets a little angry. Although under the appeasement of Horry, there was no conflict. , but the small private actions are more vicious than before.

But the Rockets players forgot that they were playing an away game today. Although the referee did not dare to blatantly favor the Blazers, some home whistles still gave the Blazers a big advantage. When the game ended, the two teams had 37 free throws: 19. The Blazers took advantage.

Relying on their own home court advantage, the Blazers defeated the Rockets again 93:88, and the Blazers narrowly beat their opponents by 5 points.The two sides once again stood on the same starting line.

Looking at the empty coffee, I finally couldn't hold it anymore, but I have to hand in the manuscript tomorrow morning, I have to go on, I stood up, made myself a cup of coffee again, this time there was no sugar, just added some milk.

Drinking smooth but bitter coffee, my nerves seem to be excited once again.

The fifth game between the two sides will still be played in Portland. This battle of Tianwangshan can be said to be crucial. Whoever can win will be able to grasp their own future.

When the game started, the competition between the two sides immediately became fierce. Both sides were defending their baskets. Everyone knew that this was already a battle of life and death.

When it comes to defense, the Rockets' interior defensive ability is still better than that of the Trail Blazers, because Big Ben and Garnett can be said to be talented defenders, plus the defensive ability of Muhammad and Mark Jackson Jr. All are good. The defense of the four against the Rockets basket can be called an impregnable fortress, while the Trail Blazers are not as good defensively. Sabonis has poor legs and slow moving speed, and Jermaine O'Neal still can't handle it in terms of experience and strength. For the opponent's impact, Cato's defensive ability is good, but he still has a big problem in the inward defense.

Finally, there is Rasheed Wallace. He can be said to be the most powerful defensive player inside the Blazers. If it weren't for his active filling and defense, it is estimated that the Blazers' inside line would have been penetrated long ago.

Today's Rockets didn't give the Chinese kid too much playing time, because in this battle where the two sides fought hard to defend, the Chinese kid's immature defensive experience couldn't give the Rockets much help.

The situation on the field was extremely silent. I don't know how to describe it anymore. The two sides kept striking, striking, and striking again. Could it be said that both sides were blacksmiths before.

When the game between the two sides entered the final quarter, the Blazers made a very bold adjustment. Pippen, the core of the Blazers' perimeter defense, was replaced, and Rashard Lewis, a high school student, came on the court.

In this way, the heavy responsibility of the Blazers' perimeter defense fell entirely on Ruben Patterson. After Pippen left the field, Mike Bibby became the organizer on the field.

A wave of the wings of a butterfly in South America can blow a huge typhoon in the Pacific Ocean. This sentence is very appropriate here. After Rashad Lewis appeared on the stage, he acted like a killer , cold and elegant.

Under the instigation of Mike Bibby, the Blazers broke out a huge combat power in the last quarter. It seemed that everyone turned into a sharp shooter in the last quarter, and the most accurate one was the high school student.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Rockets, Rashad Lewis still scored 5 three-pointers in the last quarter. With his grace and ruthlessness, the Blazers won Tianwangshan at their home court battle.

Enduring the constant drowsiness, I could only pour myself a large cup of coffee and light a cigarette again.However, this is the last one. If I can't finish writing, I can only give myself a shot.

The Rockets, who returned to their home court, broke out completely in the sixth game. Under the leadership of Garnett, the whole team let the Trail Blazers' dream of ending the series in six games was completely shattered.

Garnett scored 17 points but he grabbed an astonishing 23 rebounds. He was like a huge rebounding monster, constantly jumping up in the crowd, grabbing the rebounds in his own hands again and again .

Big Ben also grabbed 17 rebounds in this field. He and Garnett both scored 40 rebounds. The huge advantage in rebounding made other players in this game start unscrupulous attacks. The Rockets The two Europeans in the team completely bared their fangs to the people.

The two teamed up and scored 57 points in this game, while the Rockets scored only 94 points in this game.People were stunned, and the Trail Blazers players could only watch as the two Europeans turned into Jordan and kept scoring points on their heads.

94:85
The Rockets made the Blazers' players have to fight with them in the last game.

I don't know how to describe the last game between the two sides. I just remember that this game is a wonderful Hollywood blockbuster, and all elements are not lacking, blood, passion, lore, and being lore.

In the end, I just remembered a sentence, a sentence that Ben Wallace of the Rockets said after the game: "Rebounding isn't about the size of your body, its about the size of your heart." Rebounding is not about the size of your heart. It depends not on your body, but on your heart.

The most critical rebound at the last moment, the Rockets narrowly beat their opponents by 1 point in the last 1 second.

When I finished typing the last letter, I couldn't hold on anymore. After I sent the email to the editor, I couldn't get up when I was stuck in bed. I slept for 24 hours.

When my colleagues contacted me N times but failed to find me, the police came to my house, and when I opened the door sleepily, I was slapped heavily on the face of the "Los Angeles Times" ".

And the headline on the front page of the sports section is my article "Youth does not fail, victory depends on your heart".

　Keep asking, thank you from the heavens.
