Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 252 Big Dream Becomes Old Dream
Wang Dazhi's opinion is still very positive, it's useless to say more, everything depends on how the game develops.

At the start of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics were cornered, and the home fans at the Key Stadium showed all their enthusiasm, but from the scene and atmosphere, they were still a little pale compared to the people of Salt Lake City.

George Karl made huge strategic and tactical adjustments in this game. As Wang Dazhi said, the Seattle SuperSonics finally stopped double-teaming Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley without thinking .

From the first minute of the game, Gary Payton began to show the aggressiveness of breaking the boat. With the hoarse support of the home fans, Gary Payton completed two consecutive steals against Derek Fisher!

Up 4-0, the Seattle SuperSonics gave the Houston Rockets a blow!

After Derek Fisher struggled to dribble the ball across half court, the Houston Rockets finally put together a decent play, Hakeem Olajuwon didn't draw a double-team after receiving the ball in the low post , he easily scored the ball in the face of Sam Perkins' defense!
Shaquille O'Neal: "Perkins' defensive ability can't limit Hakeem at all, such a defense that looks like a display has no practical effect!
With this quality of defense, I think the Supersonics should just surrender! "

Seeing his old enemy score, Shaquille O'Neal felt mixed feelings.

Wang Dazhi didn't say anything, just watched the game in silence.

The offense of the Seattle Supersonics is also very decisive, because Hakeem Olajuwon's defensive deterrence is too frightening. If the Seattle Supersonics want to make a difference in the opponent's interior, they must first open the outside attack!
The first one to stand up was Jose Hawkins!
With the help of Sam Perkins' off-ball screen, Gary Payton's ball was extremely fast, and the ball arrived!
Once the athletes are determined, the hit rate will be greatly guaranteed!
With a knife in hand, an arrow pierces the heart!
7-2!

Turning back to defend, Gary Payton and Sam Perkins began to bite the Houston Rockets' back line frantically!

Their task is to limit the opponent's offense while also taking into account the Rockets' lobs to the inside!
If the ball is handed over to Hakeem Olajuwon or Charles Barkley, then the Seattle SuperSonics are left to their own fate.

Throughout the first quarter, Hakeem Olajuwon got what he wanted inside the Seattle SuperSonics. Even though he scored 11 points in a single quarter, the Houston Rockets still trailed by 19 points 27-8!
Derek Fisher and Mario Eli, who provided stable output in the previous few games, are no longer miraculous. Under the high-pressure defense of Gary Payton and Jose Hawkins, the Houston Rockets' back line has already There was a situation of being overwhelmed.

In the second quarter, the two teams did not carry out a large-scale personnel rotation. The overall style of that era was like this. If a star did not play more than 40 minutes in the playoffs, you would be ashamed to say hello to him!
As the game continued, the Rockets' back line was completely misfired. Clyde Drexler, who was promoted to the back three, stepped forward, and finally stopped his own decline with consecutive mid-range successes.

Here the glider boarded the main stage, and Sean Kemp also activated the rain man mode over there!

Although Charles Barkley is a veteran superstar, Sean Kemp at his peak is not far behind!
The two came and went in the second quarter, and Houston also won back 3 points in a single quarter. After halftime, the Seattle SuperSonics still led by 57 points 52-[-]!

Delmar Harris: "These two teams played very anxiously in every game. In fact, this matchup is the same as ours. The big score seems to be very different, but if you really go through the whole process of replaying, every game The outcome is one or two goals."

The situation is indeed like this, the strength of the four top four teams are all in the middle, and no one can defeat the opponent in one fell swoop by relying on a scoring climax.

Shaquille O'Neal: "Hakeem scored 18 points in the half, and his state will definitely lead the Rockets to win the game!"

Shark, who has always cherished Dameng, only has eyes for this man who once swept him in the finals.

Wang Dazhi: "The big dream is about to become an old dream. If the Supersonics suddenly increase their defensive strength against him in the fourth quarter, then Olajuwon may not be able to stand up in the fourth quarter."

Wang Dazhi's worries were not unfounded. The reason why Hakeem Olajuwon deliberately controlled his desire to shoot was that he could stand up physically when the team needed him at critical moments.

At the end of the game, Wang Dazhi's prediction came true.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, the two teams drew 94-94!
After the timeout, the final battle begins!
The Seattle SuperSonics attacked, and Gary Payton rushed to the basket. After successfully attracting the defense of Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley, he calmly scored the ball to Sean Kemp!

The stamina blamed Sean Kemp's strength at the basket, causing Charles Barkley to foul, scored two points and hit an additional penalty!

97-94!

Houston Rockets attack, Gary Payton shows lifelong defensive skills!

Derek Fisher almost violated the eight-second rule, but fortunately, Clyde Drexler caught the ball in a critical moment!

When Calede Drexler wanted to organize an attack, half of the 24 seconds had passed!
Hakeem Olajuwon, who scored 31 points at this time, was frantically surrounded by Sean Kemp. This was the first defensive round of the Rain Man after switching to the center position!
The visual effect of his claws and claws around the front is extremely explosive. When others seem to be a little slow, he can still maintain a defensive posture full of strength!
Hakeem Olajuwon is indeed a bit weak after supporting the team's offensive mission for almost the entire game!

In the battle with Sean Kemp, he was exhausted!
At this moment, Charles Barkley was asking for the ball on the other side. Although Sam Perkins was much smaller than Sir Charles, he was taller than his opponent!
Charles Barkley, who has been doing his best on the defensive end, is almost at the limit of his physical strength at this time, and the jump shot after the hard hit failed!

Gary Payton shrunk back to the basket and took off the backcourt rebound strongly!
After leading by three points, Gary Payton began to press the rhythm, and the little fish Fisher also wanted to retaliate in the same way, but his defensive skills were still too immature!
