Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Answer given in Chapter 77 'Answer'
On February 1998, 2, when the Rockets stepped into the Wells Fargo Center Arena, they felt a different atmosphere from other stadiums.

Iverson, dubbed 'The Answer', was picked because of last year's 76ers.

For a time, the attendance rate of the 76ers at home surged. Such a small man full of passion for playing is becoming another myth in the history of the 76ers.

Before the start of the game, Lao Tang arranged the final tactics for the players.

"Everyone remember, now the 76ers are Iverson's team alone. No matter Coleman, Ratliff or Tim Thomas, their current brain is Iverson. From my personal point of view, this guy's The offensive power is terrible, even above Jordan, I'm just glad that he is around 6 feet, if he is 6 feet 4, I think he will dominate the league for at least 5 years, I appreciate this man's fighting spirit. However, you have to remember that what our Rockets lack most is fighting spirit. No matter who they are or how the opponent is, our task is to defeat them and win all the victories. Go, boys, are you confident? " Lao Tang growled.

"Have"

The rocket generals roared loudly.

"Okay, let's play." Olajuwon led the Rockets to play.

On the side of the 76ers, Iverson is also doing the final battle mobilization with his teammates.

"Guys, I don't know if you still remember, the game we lost to the Rockets in the away game, anyway, I haven't forgotten, this time they came to our site, why can't we treat them well, I I don’t want to accept failure anymore, do you think so?” Iverson looked at his teammates with fiery eyes, his voice was not loud, but he was very determined.

"Do not want to."

The generals of the 76ers roared in low voices.

"Okay, let's play and tear them apart." Iverson's voice was still calm, but his words were full of murderous intent.

"Roar."

The generals of the 76ers also appeared on the stage full of murderous intent.

From the beginning of the game, the Rockets fell into a hard fight. Today, Iverson is like a god of war possessed, unstoppable.

Facing the very slow Mark Jackson, the two are like a rabbit and a tortoise, there is no comparison at all.

In just 5 minutes, Iverson scored 10 points on Mark Jackson.

However, the 76ers were also blown up by the Rockets on the defensive end.

If Iverson is a bug in the outside line, then today's big dream is like a bug in the inside line, wreaking havoc on the 76ers' inside line.

Fantasy dance steps, hooks, step-back shots, and hand-changing layups, Olajuwon demonstrated his unparalleled offensive ability.

Once the big dream is double-teamed, well, big dream starts to pass the ball.

Dameng's pass tore through the 76ers' weak defense time and time again. Other Rockets players can always get the ball in the most comfortable position and then throw the ball in.

In this way, the Rockets never allowed the 76ers to split the score.

A group of old men from the Rockets gave Iverson a good lesson on how to control the rhythm.

The unhurried offense of the Rockets slowly wore away the spirit of the 76ers.

Even Iverson wrote helplessly and said to Mark Jackson: "Mark, can't you play faster."

Mark Jackson gave Iverson a blank look and said: "I said boy, if I was 10 years ago, I would definitely compete with you, but I am 33 years old now. Boy, you let an old man like me compete with you The speed is better than the footsteps, you think too much of me, an old man."

Iverson shook his head helplessly, and could only watch the Rockets attack slowly, using up the attack time every time.

Looking at all the 76ers fans, the boos continued.

In this way, the Rockets were only 24 points behind at 20:4 at the end of the first quarter.

After a short break, the second quarter of the game between the Rockets and the 76ers began.

The Rockets replaced Bodi Roga, Ray Allen and Big Ben in accordance with the established tactics.

Replace the three old guys of Olajuwon to rest.

However, after playing, the Rockets played the fast break that the 76ers hoped for.

However, the Rockets are a bit too fast, and the speed is a bit unacceptable for the 76ers.

Let's take a look at what the Rockets' fast break line looks like.

After Bodi Roga saw Da Ben in the backcourt grab the rebound, he quickly advanced with the ball.

In a blink of an eye, he was outside the 76ers' three-point line.

Now the parallels are nothing but the 76ers' guards, Iverson.

Then, Bodi Roga forcibly shot Iverson's head.

You have to know that Bodi Roga is 2.05 meters tall, and this height can completely play inside.

Coupled with the excellent European touch, Iverson could only watch the ball fly into the basket.

Looking back, if the 76ers want to attack the inside of the Rockets, there is no good way. The explosive head on the inside has such terrible power and bounce.

Garnett is even more defensive. The white big men Bodi Roga and Horry can both recover to the inside for defense, and they can also expand to the outside for defense.

In addition, Ray Allen, who is becoming more and more adapted to physical confrontation, stared at Iverson tightly outside.

The 76ers are very passive and have failed to score 3 times in a row.

The Rockets have used this time to score 7 points in a row.

It has surpassed the 76ers by 3 points.

Therefore, this ball must be scored.

Iverson, who made up his mind, slowly controlled the basketball and observed the Rockets' defensive loopholes.

Suddenly, Coleman moved up, attracting Garnett to Dare. Seeing this situation, Iverson suddenly accelerated and threw away Ray Allen who was defending him.

Coleman's promotion provided Iverson with a breakthrough channel and route.

Along the passage vacated by Coleman, Iverson has already rushed in.

Daben, who was guarding the inside line, saw that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to block Iverson's breakthrough.

Both Horry and Bodi Roja are shrinking inward, trying to flank Iverson.

However, Iverson is Iverson after all, an emergency stop jumper shot the ball at the moment Ray Allen chased the block.

With a soft "swish", Iverson threw the ball into the double-team of four people.

The shot of this ball greatly boosted the morale of the 76ers.

While Ray Allen looked at such a goal, he could only shake his head helplessly.

But the Rockets are Rockets after all, how could that iron-blooded and tough Rocket be knocked down by such a goal.

The Rockets just sent the ball silently and handed it to Bodi Roga to handle.

Bodi Roga, who was holding the ball, scanned the situation on the field with his eyes, and a long pass across the half court reached Ray Allen, who was about to go down.

Looking at Iverson who had retreated like the wind in front of him, Ray Allen just smiled.

One step outside the three-point line is a three-pointer.

Very accurate, "swish", entered.

Iverson could only look back at the upturned net flower, and smiled bitterly.

Ray Allen returned to defense silently, his eyes full of fighting spirit stared at Iverson.

In this way, throughout the second quarter, the two Allen played against each other silently several times.

As for the outcome, Philadelphia Allen couldn't prevent Houston Allen's shooting, and Houston Allen couldn't prevent Philadelphia Allen's breakthrough.

Both are using their special skills to compete with each other.

However, in terms of the two teams, it is clear that the Rockets have the upper hand.

At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets had already led by 7 points.

49:42
The Rockets continued to suppress the 76ers.

Larry Brown also made arrangements at halftime.

It is necessary for Iverson to continue to strengthen the breakthrough, and then see the opportunity to pass the ball.

Larry Brown told Iverson that a lone ranger cannot beat a whole.

After the start of the second half, Iverson decisively strengthened the ball.

However, he is no longer facing the fast Rockets in the second quarter.

The unhurried team in the first quarter is back again.

The 76ers' renewed vigor at halftime was wiped out by the old men of the Rockets once.

Lao Tang's on-the-spot command ability was fully demonstrated.

Larry Brown, who shook his head and smiled wryly on the sidelines, could only express his admiration to Lao Tang with a thumbs up.

Looking at the 76ers who were being wiped out bit by bit, Larry Brown felt that the 76ers had to make a deal and find a real helper for Iverson.

Otherwise, the 76ers would not be able to become a strong team with a top scorer like Iverson.

The next game has become a meaningless game.

Throughout the third quarter, the old men of the Rockets had experience and consciousness, and completely knocked out the last trace of energy of the 76ers.

In the fourth quarter, except for Iverson himself, all the players of the 76ers lost confidence in this game.

All fans of the 76ers can only watch Iverson enter the Rockets' inside line alone and fight hand-to-hand with a group of strong insiders.

One person cannot defeat a whole.

This game fully explained such a truth.

The Rockets defeated the 105ers 93:76.

After the game, Lao Tang spoke highly of Iverson and thought he was a fighter, a real fighter on the court.

Iverson's score of 31 points also illustrates this point.

In the end, Lao Tang just sighed and said: After all, basketball is a sport of five people, so Iverson won the statistics, and the Rockets won the game. The matter is as simple as that.
