Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 47 Do the orangutans want bananas?

After being shot by the Phoenix Suns, the depressed Rockets returned to Houston.

Looking at the dejected Rockets players one by one, Tiger stepped forward to comfort them one by one.

In fact, as early as on the plane, Lao Tang comforted the Rockets players all the way.

After returning to Houston, I was actually just a little depressed, and nothing else happened.

Watching his boss comfort the players one by one, the Rockets will feel very moved.

In this way, with a little depression of losing to the Suns, the Rockets ushered in their old opponent at home.

The New York Knicks, led by 'gorilla' Patrick Ewing, challenged the Rockets away.

Before the start of the game, the atmosphere at the Rockets' home court was very enthusiastic. Although the Rockets fans were helpless about losing to the Suns in the last game, they were still very optimistic about the Rockets' performance this year.

Before the game started, Ewing saw a very uncomfortable slogan.

"Does the orangutan want a banana?"

This slogan is very eye-catching, and almost everyone present can see it.

With embarrassment on Ewing's face, he said to Dameng, "People in Houston are really unfriendly."

Olajuwon said calmly: "Patrick, I just want to treat you to bananas."

As soon as this remark came out, almost all the players, coaches and referees around sprayed.

Olajuwon's cold humor is really extraordinary.

Hearing this, Ewing couldn't hold back his anger.

Someone pointed at Olajuwon, trembling and speechless.

Olajuwon shrugged helplessly and turned away.

It took Ewing a lot of effort to suppress the fire.

Turning around, he said, "Brothers, today we are going to teach the Rockets a lesson. Show me the best you can. If someone is lazy, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others." After speaking, he went to prepare for the game with a constipated face.

Houston, Larry Johnson, Starks, Oakley and other players saw that their boss was already angry, and they could only think to themselves: Let's fight this game.

Ewing and Garnett who jump the ball, Olajuwon has long since stopped jumping the ball.

In the end, the young Garnett gave the ball to Mark Jackson.

Jackson firmly controlled the ball and slowly pushed it into the Knicks' half court.

Mark Jackson looked at Charlie Ward in front of him and said in his heart: This time it is not the kind of ground assault guard, that kind of guard is really difficult to deal with.

Looking introverted, with two old men in their 30s stuck in place, Mark Jackson not only has a sense of vicissitudes.

These two guys were fighting for a championship a few years ago.

It's getting old now.

However, looking at the posture, Dameng can still be better. A group of super substitutes from the Rockets gave Dameng a lot of rest time.

It can give Dameng a chance to continue on the road of challenge.

After thinking about it, Mark Jackson's ball was given to Olajuwon with a high profile.

Olajuwon and Ewing are already very familiar with each other.

There was no need to try, Olajuwon leaned back violently, and Ewing, who was older than Olajuwon, couldn't guard against it at all.

Taking a step back, Dameng took advantage of this gap to turn around, and continued to lean against Ewing, making Ewing dare not exert force casually, because it would be a foul if he exerted force.

Relying on a little strength from Ewing, he jumped up lightly, and with a small pick, the ball fell into the basket briskly.

Olajuwon glanced back at Ewing and said, "Look, buddy, you really ate some bananas, why don't you have any energy."

After speaking, he left with a relaxed face.

Youyin's face was already purple.

Oakley didn't like it, so he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "It's just a ball, don't be so angry, just hit it back."

Ewing took a deep breath again to calm down his anger.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, I know, this is a competition."

After speaking, go to serve.

Came to the rocket's paint area, Ewing took the initiative to ask for the ball.

The ball fell into Ewing's hands, and Ewing also turned around and hit a jumper without hesitation.

When Ewing saw the ball scored, he not only complained: "Hakeem, are you awake, are you still dreaming?"

After speaking, he pretended to be relaxed and left.

Seeing the affectation on Ewing's face, Olajuwon smiled.

Just when the chief stars of the two teams were trying to figure out each other, Alan Houston of the Knicks took the lead.

This future CIC king is only 26 years old, and it is the beginning of his peak period.

The current performance of averaging 18 points per game is completely worthy of his annual salary of 6 million.

Ray Allen, who replaced Drexler who had a minor injury to rest today, has no problems with his physical fitness and strength.

However, there is a big gap in experience Shanghai.

Alan Houston took advantage of the screen and hit three mid-range shots in a row, feeling hot.

In the opening 5 minutes, the Rockets were beaten 12:4.
8 points behind.

Seeing that the situation was not very good, Lao Tang quickly stopped the game.

Horry called Ray Allen aside and said: "Ray, if you want to deal with a guy like Houston, you must learn to foul, fierce foul, and it will definitely interrupt his touch. I can only go home today, you play very similar to him, it's a pity to learn from him, but you must understand how to defend such a guy, you know."

Ray Allen nodded vigorously.

Lao Tang, who was arranging tactics at the side, nodded in satisfaction.

Ray Allen, who played again, kept Horry's teaching in mind, and gave Alan Houston a fierce thug when he came up.

The place where you were beaten turned red visible to the naked eye, you grinned in pain, Alan Houston.

Seeing this scene in Huo Li's eyes, he also secretly gave Ray Allen a thumbs up.

A fouled Allan Houston free throw just went in for one.

Afterwards, Alan Houston's hand feeling declined rapidly, and under Ray Allen's strict supervision, his effect was greatly weakened.

In this way, after the end of the first quarter, the Rockets chased the score to 22:21, only one point behind.

During the break between the first and second quarters, Knicks coach Van Gundy expressed displeasure with his players' defense in the final minutes.

A team that values ​​defense like the Knicks was actually chased by such a mad chase in the last few minutes.

It's incredible.

After the start of the second quarter, the two sides seemed to start to compete on how to strike iron.

The double-engines take turns striking the iron.

Five minutes after the start of the game, the two sides tied at 5:30.

During this time period, the Knicks gradually put on substitute players, trying to buy time for their main players to rest.

Upon seeing this, the Rockets also replaced their substitutes.

However, the quality of the Rockets' bench is obviously better than that of the Knicks.

Looking at Bodi Roga, Ben Wallace, Malik Rose, and a bunch of Rockets' substitutes, Van Gundy was actually very jealous.

For the rest of the second quarter, the Rockets' bench taught the Knicks' bench a lesson.

What kind of substitute is a good substitute.

Under the deployment of Bodi Roga, the Rockets players turned into the Bulls, and the triangle offense played impressively.

It may be because of the better adaptation in the Rockets, Bodi Roga showed his atmosphere in the game that started this year.

Organizing, dispatching, and connecting in series show the general's demeanor.

He has faintly become the number one organizer of the Rockets.

Even Mark Jackson can't deny this.

However, Bodi Roga is still lacking in experience.

In private, Mark Jackson has talked to Lao Tang about this issue.

Mark Jackson is very willing to give up his main position to serve as a substitute for this young man.

Lao Tang pondered for a long time, but still rejected Mark Jackson's proposal.

Because Lao Tang didn't want to fix Bodi Roga in one position, he wanted to see how far Bodi Roga could grow.

It is only arranged at the point guard position, which is somewhat overkill for Bodi Roga.

In the second quarter of the game, Bodi Roga led a group of substitutes and completely smashed the Knicks' substitutes.

In the last few minutes, the Rockets' substitutes played a 15:6 attack wave.

At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets have led the score by 9 points.

45:36
The Rockets led into the second half.

After an adjustment at halftime, the Knicks players started a counterattack in the third quarter.

The candy-like defense and Larry Johnson's outburst put the Rockets' lead in jeopardy.

However, at this time Ray Allen stood up.

Two consecutive three-pointers completely stabilized the morale of the army.

Keep the rocket's advantage.

Looking at the wanton Garnett and Ray Allen, as well as the calm Bodi Roga on the bench.

Van Gundy faintly felt that a new era was coming.

Under the strong pressure of the Rockets, the Knicks never turned over.

95:84
The Rockets won at home.

Ewing seems to have to go back to the Knicks to eat bananas.

Ray Allen, as the starter, scored 19 points.

It is amazing that there are so many excellent young people in the Rockets.

So far, the new season has started 8 games, with 7 wins and [-] loss.

The Chicago Bulls started the new season with 8 games, 4 wins and 4 losses.

For a while, the media lamented that the Bulls had come to an end.
