Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 66 The Power of the Pacers

After arranging the settlement of off-court matters, Tiger can watch the game safely.

On January 1998, 1, the Rockets ushered in the Indiana Pacers at their home court.

This season, the Pacers recruited Bird to be their head coach, and got a free agent "Alien" Cassell from the Rockets.

This year's Pacers team has Reggie Miller, Dutch giant Smits, Sr. Mullin, Anthony Davis, Cassel, Travis, McGee and other players.

What's more, the cooperation between Reggie Miller, Cassel and Mullin has become increasingly tacit.

Needless to say, Miller and Mullin, Cassell has also found his place in this heart environment.

As of the last game, Cassel averaged 17 points, 8.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game, leading the Pacers to stride forward.

Become a strong team capable of changing the situation of the league.

Before the game, Cassell and the Rockets' former teammates hugged one by one.

The Rockets congratulated Cassell for his achievements in the Pacers.

After Cassel found Tiger, he also went up and gave Tiger a big hug.

And Cassel said with a smile: "Hey, boss, you are very kind, knowing that I have no help in the Pacers, you sent Anthony here. You are so generous."

To be honest, Cassel's smile is really uglier than crying.

In fact, when Cassell left the team, Tiger didn't really want him to leave, because he knew that Cassell was an underestimated player.

However, Cassel's body, technology and other aspects are not suitable for the Rockets' team building requirements in the future, so he can only be sent away.

Seeing that Cassell is living so well in the Pacers now, Tiger is also very happy for him.

So, Tiger also said happily: "That's right, I don't know if your boss is a very kind person. Seeing you working so hard in the Pacers, why don't I find you a backup, ha ha, Anthony has already gone Bar."

Cassel actually liked the Rockets very much, and he was not very willing to leave the Rockets at the time.

However, in the Rockets, he can only be a substitute and a sixth man, and he is no longer suitable for the Rockets' team building goals.

So he had no choice but to leave the Rockets. He had already negotiated with the Timberwolves at the beginning, but he didn't expect the Pacers to kill him from the oblique stab and recruited himself.

On the Pacers side, although Bird is a very proud person, he is still very good as a head coach.

The Pacers this season are already a strong team.

Thinking of this, Cassel stepped forward and hugged Tiger again, and said: "Thank you, boss, I will never forget the help you gave me when I was a Rocket player." Patted Tiger on the back.

"Hey, hey, hey, you brat is so hard, do you want to murder or are you interested in men, I can tell you, my sexual orientation is normal." Tiger said with a grin.

Everyone smiled for a while. My boss is good, but he is a bit off-line.

Looking at Cassell with a black hair, Tiger patted Cassell's arm and said, "Go, Sam, show your best level during the game, don't let others look down on the players who left the Rockets."

Kassel nodded solemnly, but with the words that followed, Kassel could only hide his face and leave.

"Okay, guys, today is Kassel's first time going home, we can't make him too proud, if today's back line allows Kassel to score too many points, then my family from Sichuan, China The chef is waiting for you, and I will ask them to prepare 1 kilogram of dried chili for you to enjoy." Tiger's words made the eyes of all the Rockets defenders light up at that time.

They still remember the last time, probably only a small piece of chili was accidentally swallowed by Shandon Anderson.

This dude drank a full pint of milk before he recovered.

1 kg, haha, people will die. In the spirit of dead friends never dying poor people, Kassel is going to be unlucky in this match.

Especially Mark Jackson said to Cassell: "Hey, man, I'm sorry today, if you don't want to send me lilies tomorrow, you'd better not score this game."

Looking at the Rockets guards whose eyes were already glowing red, Cassel could only say hello and go to prepare for the game.

The game whistle sounded, and the game between the Rockets and the Pacers officially started.

When jumping the ball, Garnett faced Smits, who was half a head taller than him, and easily passed the ball to Mark Jackson.

Cassel, who knew how Jackson received the ball very well, rushed up and wanted to steal the ball.

It's a pity that Mark Jackson had already guarded against his move. He turned his body horizontally and used the width of his body to firmly protect the ball.

Then, he took control of the ball and pushed steadily into the Pacers' half.

Looking at his former teammate in front of him, Mark Jackson couldn't help complaining.

"I said Sam, did they abuse you on the Pacers side?" Mark Jackson asked with concern.

"No, who can abuse me." Cassel was a little dizzy.

"Then why are you thin? When the Rockets touched your body before, you could feel your flesh, but now there are only bones left." When Mark Jackson said this, Cassell was dumbfounded at the time.

Just when Cassell shook his head and sighed, Mark Jackson passed the ball.

The ball was handed over to Garnett deftly. Garnett, who has become the backbone of the Rockets inside, made a cross pass without stopping the ball.

He had already thrown off Ke Smits' bus without the ball, and after catching the ball, he stepped up and dunked heavily with one hand.

The buckle of the ball rack made a rattling sound.

The power of the bus is at a glance.

After bumping into Garnett, the Rockets started their defense.

Cassel continued to control the ball and pushed forward steadily.

When he came to the Rockets' three-point line and looked at Mark Jackson who was staring at him, Cassel suddenly had the feeling of returning to the Rockets to train in the team.

However, this feeling was fleeting. Looking at Mark Jackson who was already standing, Cassell suddenly rushed into the inside of the Rockets with a disguised acceleration.

At this time, on the outside line, when Kassel broke through, Smits raised a blocker. Miller quickly circled Smits for half a circle, threw off Drexler who was defending him, and ran There is an empty seat.

Cassel is a person who arrives at the ball and passes it directly.

Miller received the ball without any preparations.

Zhang hand shot.

3:2
The Pacers had the upper hand in the first round.

However, hitting the first goal does not mean that you will be able to score smoothly in the future.

Under the suffocating defense of both sides, the first quarter of the two sides became a battle of iron.

The shooting rate of both sides in the first quarter was only about 30%.

The two teams almost took this game as a playoff game.

Looking at the situation on the field, Bird's heart was full of turmoil.

The players on the field now. The Rockets' inside combination is completely rookie level, but the control shown by these two inside Rockets can be called sophisticated, and they will not fall behind against the inside of Smits and Dale Davis. wind.

The Rockets' perimeter combination is even more sophisticated. Mark Jackson and Drexler, this pair of old guys steadily control the offense and defense of the Rockets, and Horry, a guy who has been in the league for 5 or 6 years, combines the inside and outside. The tandem defense did a very good job.

This guy can guard pitchers like Miller from the outside.

Inwardly can resist Dale Davis, the core of the absolute way.

Could it be that this is the real strength of the Rockets? It is really different to watch a game on video and watch it live.

Rudy, you guys really have a set.

Just when Byrd was thinking about how to change.

The first quarter is over, and the Rockets and Pacers tied the first quarter 20:20.

Looking at the Pacers players walking down in sweat, Bird asked: "How is it? After a game, what kind of feeling does the Rockets give you?"

The main players of the Pacers exchanged glances, and Yu Miller said, "They are very strong."

The tone is very solemn.
