Chapter 27 Barkley is going to die again

On November 11, the Heat played another back-to-back game against the Houston Rockets at home.

When it comes to the Houston Rockets, I believe that many Chinese fans love and hate so much that keyboard warriors on the Internet didn’t dare to type out the team’s name not long ago... Even Yao Ming played for this team for 9 seasons (the 2009-2010 season was reimbursed due to injury)!
It's a good thing that disgusting fat man is gone, otherwise, how can someone who writes NBA novels like Lao Wang avoid this team without mentioning a word?

If you talk about the greatest NBA team in the 90s of the last century, it must be the Chicago Bulls.

Under the leadership of the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, this team won two and three consecutive championships, achieving the great achievements of the "Double Dynasty".

I believe it is impossible even for pseudo-fans to not know these things, but if you ask who is the second most successful team in that period of time, people who understand football will blurt out-Houston Rockets!

That's right, the team that Yao Ming played for also had a very glorious history. They won consecutive championships in 1994 and 1995, and got the biggest bonus from Jordan's short retirement.

Some people say that if Jordan didn't retire in those two years, the Bulls would definitely win 8 consecutive championships, and there would be nothing wrong with the Rockets.

Some people also say that even if Jordan does not retire, it will be difficult to win 8 consecutive championships!

There are all possibilities for this kind of thing that never happened, and no one can say for sure, but no one can discredit the gold content of the Rockets' two consecutive championships!
In those two years, the strength of the Rockets was well deserved!

The leader of the team that led the team to win the championship is Hakeem Olajuwon, the "big dream". No matter how you talk about this great center, he will definitely rank among the top five in the NBA's historical center list.

There are even many senior fans who believe that in terms of technology alone... "Big Dream" should be able to rank first in the history center list!

In his rookie season, he averaged 20.6 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.6 blocks per game. Isn't it very similar to Duncan who "debuted at the peak"?

This is why the Houston Rockets chose him as the No. [-] pick, even Jordan gave up.

Although Jordan made rapid progress and gradually grew into the "God of Basketball" that everyone looked up to, the Houstonians did not regret their choice, because "Big Dream" also played a role in the NBA for many years and led the team to win two championships.

Unless you have opened your eyes before the draft, even if this choice is repeated [-] times, the number one pick must be Olajuwon!
"Big Dream" was born in January 1963 and is now almost 1 years old. Years of injuries have made this legendary center no longer the courage of the past.

1999-2000赛季他只打了44场常规赛，其中有16场还是替补登场，场均仅上场23.8分钟，可以得到10.3分和6.3个篮板。

"Gorilla" Patrick Ewing, who had been defeated by "Big Dream" for many years last season, averaged 15 points and 9.8 rebounds per game!

Just like the little tune sung by Guo Degang - "The sun and the moon shuttle to make people old, how many people in the world are taken away..."

With the advent of the 21st century, the former superstars are getting old one by one, and a new generation replaces the old ones.

As soon as the game started, Mason continued to attack the inside line, causing Olajuwon 3 fouls in just 2 minutes, and knocked the veteran off the court.

Looking back, the two guards "Old Cat" Mobley and "Boss Fur" on the Rockets' side were also very determined, and the Heat's inside line was also shaky for a while.

It has to be said that this season, the Rockets' pair of "double guns in the backcourt" has super firepower, which is very close to the strength of an All-Star guard.

弗朗西斯场均19.9分6.9篮板6.5助攻，莫布里场均19.5分5.1篮板2.2助攻，其中“弗老大”的投篮命中率45.1%，三分命中率39.6%，进攻效率相当不俗。

In other words, Yao Ming in his rookie season was still too immature. If Yao Ming in his peak period added this pair of "double guns in the backcourt", wouldn't this be the "Big Three"?

As long as the team adds two or three defensive 3D players, isn't it hard enough for the Lakers led by a wave of "OK combination"?

How can there be a need to trade McGrady?
After the first quarter, the score was 21:16, with the Heat trailing by 5 points.

In the NBA these years, the pace of the game is extremely slow, especially the Heat are the best defensive team in the league.

How can we defend well?
Pat Riley's answer is to reduce the pace of the game and reduce offensive and defensive rounds-"Even if I don't score, you don't want to score easily!"

Accustomed to watching the NBA in the small ball era, Wang Dalin is very disapproving of this kind of game rhythm.

This kind of extremely dull game, like an old lady's foot wrap - "smelly and long", who would want to watch it?
No wonder David Stern wants to support the Lakers!

They have Kobe and O'Neal!

Even if the pace of the game is still slow, even if the muscular sticks under the basket are still entangled, but their stars can perform!
These days, fans in Los Angeles are undoubtedly very happy, because "Peter Pan" has all kinds of dazzling fancy dunks emerging one after another, and "Big Shark" will come up with a thunderous dunk from time to time, and then take the "overlord step" that no one knows...

Therefore, even if the Spurs "Twin Towers" led the team to win the championship, the ticket prices for their games could not keep up with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the ratings of the national live broadcast were far worse.

No matter in any period, a team with a gorgeous style of play is definitely more popular!
In the second quarter, both sides sent out a rotation lineup, and Wang Dalin finally played.

If it was the first few games, he would probably have played for a few minutes now, but he did not perform well in the first two games, and Riley also reduced his playing time.

Counting it now, his position in the team's rotation is probably back to the beginning of the season.

"Isn't it just to start all over again, what's the big deal?"

Wang Dalin's mentality is quite good... He was just a fat guy who loves basketball, but after time-traveling, he got the "Hanging Match System" and even made it to the NBA. What is there to be dissatisfied with?
The Rockets' "Dream" also played again. He only played for less than 3 minutes in the first quarter, but he was quite energetic.

Because of the Heat's third place in the Eastern Conference last season, the NBA also arranged a nationwide live broadcast of this game, and a pair of live treasures from TNT TV naturally appeared in the live broadcast room as scheduled.

"Charles, look, Darling Wang is on the field, and it looks like he's at the center... yo! Are you going to play against Hakim?"

"Hehe, he's such a small guy...Hakim can blow him to pieces!"

"Not necessarily? Hakim's condition this season is very bad. Didn't you miss the previous game? He is really old!"

"I, Sir Charles, have always been spit and nailed when I speak, let alone Hakim, even if I go up now, I can give this Chinese kid a good lesson!"

"Pull it down, Charles! At your current weight of close to 400 pounds, I think any NCAA college student can blow you up!"

"Hmph! Kenny, I, Sir Charles, am not a big talker! I bet that Hakeem will score higher than this Chinese kid in this game, do you dare to bet?"

"Haha, Charles, you're going to die again, right? Forgot what it was like to only wear a tank top and shorts during the live broadcast? Alright, I'll make you happy! What's the bet?"

"The loser...kiss the other side's ass in front of the national audience, do you dare?"
