Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 67 The Power of the Pacers

After the first quarter, Bird made adjustments to his team.

Kassel is required to strengthen his attack more. Once Mark Jackson is blown away, the Rockets will inevitably attack Kassel.

Once the flanking starts, there will inevitably be someone vacant. Once such a vacancy is in front of Mullin and Miller, it can only be said that the Rockets' nightmare is about to begin.

Sure enough, shortly after the start of the second quarter, Kassel stepped up his offense. Kassel had a great touch today, scoring 8 consecutive hits in front of Mark Jackson.

A small attack wave of 8:2 stretched the score to 6 points.

Seeing this form, Rudy called a short timeout, but he didn't arrange to double-team, but made a substitution.

Bodi Roga, Saulius and Ray Allen came on to replace Mark Jackson, Drexler and Horry.

Such a large-scale substitution disrupted the Pacers' plans.

Seeing Saulius, who is physically strong and defensively fierce, completely strangled Kassel to death.

Looking at Saulius, who is nearly 15 centimeters taller than him, Kassel's role is getting smaller and smaller.

And Mullin faced Bodi Roga, and both of them belonged to the kind of masters who are strong in offense and weak in defense.

However, Bodi Roga relied on his height and weight to be able to bully Mullin.

The biggest disadvantage is the matchup between Miller and Ray Allen.

Miller is an old guy who has been in the NBA for more than ten years.

Against a sophomore like Ray Allen, that's simply too dominant.

Using the cover of his partner, Miller hit two consecutive three-pointers.

Looking at Ray Allen who was thrown behind him, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Boy, you are still too young, this kind of competition is not suitable for you to participate in."

Ray Allen, who heard this, smiled and said: "Old man, why don't you go home? I don't know if your beautiful wife is messing with someone else. You see your wife is so beautiful. If this Let other men see you, and you still have to toss until dawn."

Hearing such trash talk, Miller was furious. Looking at the kid in front of him with a smile on his face, he punched him hard.

"Boy, you pissed me off. Prepare to be unlucky." Miller gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Oh, I'm so scared, old man, I'm really afraid that when you go home and see your wife in bed with other men, you will have a heart attack, and all your property will belong to your wife, and Your wife can use your money to find other men. Tsk tsk, this is really great, man, you are so selfless." Ray Allen's trash talk is getting more and more flavorful.

"You fucking want to die..." Miller really couldn't stand Ray Allen's trash talk.

Going forward and throwing a punch is going to beat Ray Allen.

The Pacers, who had noticed the situation early on, rushed towards Ray Allen like mad dogs.

Seeing that things were not good, Ray Allen turned around and ran back to the Rockets players.

Seeing this situation, Garnett stopped the Pacers players as soon as he reached out.

And angrily said: "What do you want to do, do you want to fight?"

Dale Davis, who had been suffocated by Garnett's defense for more than a quarter, rushed up and scolded: "MD will beat you, what's the matter?"

He was about to hit Garnett with a punch, but before he could punch him, he felt as if he was being lifted up by something.

Then, it flew up very gently, and after experiencing a wonderful feeling in the air, it was thrown heavily on the floor.

This is probably the classic scene of the game, a 6-foot-11 strong man.

He was thrown out by a yellow-skinned player who was about the same height as him.

Moreover, it was still one hand, oh my god, how did that kid do it, all the Rockets fans in the audience were shouting.

That's right, it's the bus. Can a man who grew up on the grassland know how to wrestle?

This blow shocked all the players on both sides.

This buddy is too tough.

Even Ranbir, who was a goddamn man, didn't have this skill.

Even the referee next to him was a bit stupid. After being a referee for so many years, it was the first time he met such a fierce person.

Reminded by the technical representative at the side, he blew the whistle quickly.

Dale Davis and the bus were given a fighting foul, and they were sent off the field directly.

However, the bus was walked out, and Dale Davis was carried out.

Such a situation not only surprised the Pacers players, but also the Rockets players.

This big man actually has such a large lethality, what a monster.

The other double-serving players who got together were separated by the referee and the coaches of both sides.

After warning both sides, the game continued.

For the rest of the game, both sides tried their best to control their emotions.

Fortunately, the two sides did not cause any fights again during the rest of the game.

However, the time in the second quarter has become Reggie Miller's performance time.

Hitting three consecutive three-pointers made the Rockets' outside defense useless.

Young Ray Allen still can't restrain Reggie Miller's play.

By the end of the second quarter, the Pacers had extended their advantage by 8 points.

49:41.
The Rockets returned to the locker room with an 8-point gap.

However, Tiger in the locker room is the bus, chatting happily.

"Hey, I said buddy, you are so good, you stunned all the Pacers boys with that one, just one, it's really good, how did you do it, can you tell me At this moment, Tiger was chatting around the bus like a young man seeing his idol.

"Boss, those are just some wrestling techniques, there is nothing to learn. At that time, that big black man was jumping up, and I also borrowed his strength. I took advantage of the trend, and there was a small stumbling block under my feet. Went out. But that kid wasn’t seriously injured, he just fell down a bit, it’s nothing serious, and he’ll probably be able to play tomorrow.” Bus still said straightforwardly.

"Hehe, why did you rush up to the bus? I know the character of the Chinese people, they all have the idea of ​​being wise and safe. People like you are very different." Tiger asked a question that had been held back in his heart for a long time. a question of .

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't let that kid hurt my teammates. And Kevin is a good friend to me, and I can't watch him being bullied." Daba spoke his mind very bluntly.

And Tiger also thought in his heart: It seems that the environment can really change one, the big man in the original time and space doesn't have such courage in the United States.

During the halftime break, the Rockets players were laughing and laughing at the bus.

Garnett walked up and said, "Dude, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I would have been punched a few times today. I wouldn't have known he came to me! Tonight, I'll buy you a drink."

"Hey, Kevin, why don't you tell us that we all have a drink together." Mark Jackson blackmailed from the side.

"I'd love to buy you a drink, man. But only if you throw Dale Davis 3 meters away." Garnett said with a smile to the big butt.

"Forget it, I'll be fine if I don't get thrown 3 meters away." Mark Jackson muttered softly.

Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for the entire locker room to hear.

Everyone in the Rockets burst into laughter.

Seeing Laotang come in, I walked out first with a sense of interest.

Leaning on the corridor, I took a deep puff of my cigar, quietly thinking about the actions that have disturbed all parties in the past few days, and meditated: This time the big stick is enough, it seems that I will give some sweet dates.

Or someone will rebel.

Intermission time passed in Tiger's contemplation.

At the beginning of the second half, the Pacers began to attack the Rockets' introversion.

7-foot-4 Smits vs. 6-foot-9 Ben.

This advantage is too obvious.

After hitting two consecutive balls on Big Ben's head, the Rockets began to help defend the inside.

And Big Ben also began to actively move forward, gradually offsetting the Pacers' inside advantage.

The game once again fell into a terrible strike.

The Pacers' defense is in place, and the Rockets' defense is even more solid.

Both sides are like two beasts, looking for the opponent's weakness.

If found, pounce on and bite until the death of the opponent.

Time quickly entered the fourth quarter.

The situation is still anxious, and the air seems to be frozen.

Players on both sides can almost feel the opponent's heartbeat.

With the last 3 minutes left, the Pacers called a timeout.

Bird looked at his tired and sweaty players and said: "Guys, we have made a change. The Rockets have almost taken our 8-point advantage in the first half by one quarter. We can't sit still like this, we have to fight back."

Already out of breath, Miller interjected: "How should we coach."

Bird looked at the Pacers players and said: "Remember, after my observation, the few players on their perimeter are all shooters. Their breakthroughs are very average. When you defend, you must be tight. Post it, don't let them shoot easily and comfortably. For their insides, you have to remember to push all of their two insides out. Their current pair of insides, the CIC is very bad , Garnett is better, that Ben Wallace is not a threat when he leaves the basket. When we attack, you must pull me away. Miller pays attention to the position of the air cut, and shoots when there is an open space. Don’t be afraid. I am afraid that you will not dare to vote, do you understand your mission?"

"clear."

The Pacers roared
"Okay, let's go on the field and beat the Rockets." Bird was doing the last agitation.

The final 3-minute battle between the Pacers and the Rockets began.

The Rockets suddenly resorted to pick-and-roll tactics, and Garnett suddenly raised the block.

Mark Jackson cut into the penalty area after blocking.

He didn't give the ball to Garnett. After attracting Mullin's defense, the basketball was passed to Horry who was already open.

Horry raised his hand and shot, without giving the Pacers a chance to defend.

Three point hit.

The Rockets led by 87 points 85:2.

This is the Rockets' first lead since starting from the second house.

But looking back, the Pacers made the same shot, and Mullin made a jumper from the free throw line to tie the score.

87:87
Looking back, the Rockets continued to pick and roll. After Mark Jackson entered the paint, the Pacers immediately sealed several of the Rockets' pitchers.

But this time, the Rockets followed the routine, and the ball was returned to Garnett.

Garnett made a high mid-range shot.

Garnett waved his fist excitedly.

The Pacers' offense this time is very concise.

Cassel made a cold shot from the outside, 90:89.
The Rockets were overtaken.

Looking at Kassel, who was laughing and making a fuss among the Pacers players, everyone in the Rockets shook their heads helplessly.

There are still 47 seconds left, and both sides still have a chance to attack.

The Rockets leveled again, the ball was handed over to Garnett again, Miller and Anthony Davis both rushed up.

Can't let this kid take another shot, that's what all Pacers players think.

It's a pity that Garnett's slender arms gave him a chance, and he stumbled and shot a shot with a straight arm and a slight back.

When the ball was shot, Anthony Davis' hand hit Garnett's wrist, and the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the ball was fouled. If it was scored, it would be a 2+1.
The ball stumbled and hit the backboard a few times before going in.

After landing, Garnett roared to the sky again.

Garnett's teammates rushed forward and hugged Garnett tightly. The ball was too timely.

Garnett withstood the tremendous pressure and made the free throw.

92:90.
With 25.7 seconds left, the Rockets led by 2 points.

However, they also left the Pacers with a lore opportunity.

Bird immediately called a timeout, and the Pacers gathered around Bird, looking at Bird's tactical board.

"The last shot, Miller still has you to execute. Listen up, Sam got the ball to attract the attention of the Rockets, and then drove in from the right 30 degrees, and then when he entered the penalty area, he passed the ball to the left 45 In the hands of Miller at a high speed, remember other players to cover, and pull the Rockets' defense away. Got it." Bird loudly arranged the last attack.

"understood"

All the walkers responded.

The time came to the last 25.7 seconds.

During the Pacers' offense, Cassel firmly controlled the ball and watched the time pass by.

In the last ten seconds, Cassel began to break through.

One got rid of Mark Jackson's entanglement in disguise and directly entered the penalty area.

The rest of the Pacers players are running, opening up space for Miller who is preparing for the final lore.

Miller has quietly ambushed in the reserved position.

Cassel's ball is still very fast.

With a flick of the wrist, it was passed to Miller, who was already standing still.

The ball is very close, and it will be in Miller's hands immediately.

Suddenly, a big black hand appeared and slapped the basketball hard.

who is who.

All Rockets fans are exclaiming.

It's Garnett.

Garnett steals the pass.

The basketball that was shot hard was caught up by Ray Allen.

After getting the ball, it seemed that there was not much time, and Ray Allen made a shot when there was still one step away from the three-point line.

"Swish"

hit.

95:90
There are still 2.7 seconds left.

Looking at the ball, the Pacers were desperate.

After the final serve, Miller made a three-pointer and bounced out of the basket.

At the end of the time, the Rockets defeated the visiting Pacers by 5 points at home.

After the game, Bird didn't shake hands with Tom first.

Instead, he approached Tiger in the auditorium and said, "You are a very good guy, I underestimated you."

Tiger was surprised that the proud big bird could say such a thing.

However, Tiger still smiled reservedly and didn't say anything.

After saying this, Bird also smiled, turned around to greet Lao Tang, and left under the siege of many reporters.

Looking at Bird going away, Lao Tang said a word to Tiger.

"If you can find him, he will be my best successor."

After hearing this, Tiger smiled lightly and said, "He is not suitable for the Rockets."

The Rockets beat the Pacers 95:90.

The momentum of the Rockets is still strong, continuing to lead the league with 28 wins and 3 losses.
