Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 101
When Tiger started to have a headache for the 98 draft, the Rockets ushered in their biggest opponent, the Chicago Bulls.

Before the start of the game, there was silence in the Rockets' locker room. Lao Tang looked at his players, but just looked at everyone silently.

In this silence, the bell for the game rang, and Lao Tang said a word at this time: "We have defeated them once, then I can win the second time, the third quarter, and countless times, Go ahead guys and show everyone that you're still the best."

Everyone in the Rockets stood up silently, formed a circle, put their shoulders on each other and bent over, Olajuwon said: "Think about how we lost to our opponents last year, think about how we beat them at their home court. , the Bulls are not invincible, Jordan is not invincible, we are invincible."

Olajuwon's voice became louder and louder, and at the end he started to roar. As a superstar of the same generation as Jordan, he is sad and happy.

Sadly, his light can only be shrouded in Jordan's light.

Fortunately, he was extremely happy to be able to win two championship rings in the same era as Jordan.

However, this year he has the opportunity to subvert all this. He has a group of strong teammates around him, a head coach with rich experience, an extremely shrewd general manager, and an infinitely amazing boss. With these, why couldn't he start a dynasty?

Today is just the beginning, the beginning of a rocket dynasty.

Players from both sides began to appear on the stage. Seeing the old man who had been with him for a year, Olajuwon's heart was not only full of enthusiasm.

Jordan walked over to the Rockets' bench, greeted Olajuwon, and said, "Hey, Hakeem, you guys are awesome this year. I wonder if you can break our regular season record."

"Hehe, Michael will definitely. When the old dynasty is overthrown, there will always be new miracles. I think this may be the roar of the new era established by the Rockets." Olajuwon is uncharacteristically The humble, aggressive today.

Jordan's expression froze when he heard the words, and he said angrily, "Hakim, I'm here to congratulate you, don't you guys know the kindness of others?"

Olajuwon smiled indifferently and said: "Michael, after so many years, I don't know you yet. You just came here to attack the morale of our young people. You know that these young people may have watched you grow up playing, and even Some people are your fans and if you give them some hints, it will put a lot of pressure on them. So put away your tricks, it doesn't work for me.

Jordan looked at the guy who was the same age as him and said: "Hakeem, well, I won't say anything, so I wish you luck, but today we will definitely take away a victory."

Olajuwon was not excited at all. He glanced at Jordan and said, "Then come and try."

After speaking, he turned and left to practice with his teammates.

Looking at Olajuwon going away, Jordan shook his head bitterly, and then said to himself: "Hakeem, in our class, you might be the one who is qualified to be my opponent. Who told you I am No.1, I am No.3, we are born to compare, this is fate."

After speaking, Jordan also got ready to start the game immediately.

As the referee whistled, the game between the Rockets and the Bulls officially began.

At the time of the jump ball, Garnett undoubtedly won over Longley. The ball was in the hands of Mark Jackson. Mark Jackson stabilized and directed the Rockets' players to start tactics. The Rockets had to win this point first.

After watching the Rockets' players settle down, the ball was handed over to Olajuwon. Looking at Longley behind him, Olajuwon smiled and said, "Luce, I think you should go back to Australia."

Langley was a little puzzled, and asked aloud, "What do you mean, Hakim."

Olajuwon said: "I mean you are not as good as an old man like me in terms of strength." After collecting the ball, a 360-degree turnaround jump shot.

With a slight force on the wrist, the fingers gently pushed the basketball out. The basketball spun gently in the air and happily got into the basket.

"Swish"

The Rockets scored 2 points first.

Seeing Olajuwon leaving with a smile on his face, Langley could only serve with a wry smile and went to the bottom line.

Looking at the helpless Langley, Jordan stepped forward and said to Langley, "It's nothing, buddy. I'll call you back."

As he spoke, he controlled the basketball to advance towards the Rockets' half court.

After halftime, Jordan handed the ball to Pippen to organize the offense.

And Jordan took Drexler to the inside and walked over.

Jordan looked at Drexler, who was following him like a shadow, and said, "Clyde, how did I hear that your season is over this year and you are going to retire."

Drexler nodded and said, "Yes, this year's season is over, and I'm going to retire."

Jordan smiled and said, "Why, I can't move."

Drexler also replied with a smile: "Are you still playing, Michael? Rather than being knocked down on the court by the new generation, it's better to retire with honor."

Jordan was also bitter when he heard the words, yes, he is already 35 years old, so what else is he fighting for?

However, the following sentence from Drexler aroused Jordan's infinite fighting spirit.

I only heard Drexler say: "I think this year the Rockets beat the Bulls to win a championship and then retire. This is the biggest reward for my NBA career for so many years. Are you ready, Michael?"

Hearing this sentence, Jordan's dejected momentum once again evaporated, and he glanced at Drexler and said, "Clyde, it's too early for the Rockets to beat us."

After finishing speaking, with the help of a screen from Longley, he threw off Drexler, received a pass from Pippen, and made a mid-range shot.

"Swish"

The basketball that hit the net made a very pleasant sound.

Jordan's stern-faced stepback started his own half on defense.

The two sides entered into anxiety from the very beginning of the game.

Starting from 2:2, the Rockets and Bulls had consecutive draws in the following games.Such consecutive draws show that the two sides are quite fierce.

Although fierce, the wonderful goals of both sides are still emerging one after another.

Garnett and Olajuwon cooperated, and after the misplaced defense, Garnett hung up Longley and made a layup in the air.

Pippen, in turn, steals Mark Jackson's cross pass and succeeds in a fast-track dunk.

Watching Horry and Mark Jackson run a pick-and-roll and force a layup against Harper's defense.

Immediately, the Bulls' Rodman and Pippen cooperated. After Pippen attracted the defense, Hua Dachong slipped to the bottom line and succeeded in a backhand layup.

Both sides played wonderful cooperation.

With 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets replaced Bodi Roga and Ray Allen and Big Ben.

The Zen master saw that the rocket was ready to start his own quick attack.

He also waved his hand and replaced Kukoc to increase the speed of the Bulls' defense.

When the Bulls thought their countermeasures were successful, the Rockets continued to attack in the regular halfcourt.

Watching Rodman being led around by Big Ben, Pippen struggled to deal with Garnett, who had a height advantage, and when Jordan didn't know how to defend the three outside pitchers, Phil Jackson knew he had been fooled.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Zen master immediately called a timeout.

The Rockets took advantage of the Bulls' misjudgment and played a 6:0 spurt.

All of a sudden, the score was opened by 6 points.

The Zen master looked at his team members and said: "Now the Rockets have a few points, everyone pay attention to it, it is Garnett, Bodi Roga and Ray Allen, these three people form a new triangle, everyone has seen it Now the Rockets' offense is imitating our offensive method. Yes, that is the triangle offense. I have to say that Rudy is really a tactical genius, and any tactics used by his men are very good. Let’s not talk about the half-court offense, let’s talk about the quick attack tactics, which are also superb in his hands. Well, it’s a bit far-fetched. Now we have to pay attention to these three people, Daben, as long as Don’t worry about him when he’s out of the restricted area, he doesn’t have any mid-range attacking means, don’t be intimidated by him, Horry must pay attention to this point, Tony, Horry will leave it to you.” Zen Master said to Kukoc.

"Yes, coach, don't worry." Kukoc nodded in agreement
"Okay, everyone, let's play. There is nothing to be afraid of. Use the tactics we are most familiar with to beat us. The Rockets are looking for bad luck." Zen master encouraged his players.

On the Rockets side, Lao Tang also arranged tactics.

Lao Tang said: "De Yang, you control the rhythm, go fast if you want to be fast, and slow if you want to be slow. One thing you have to remember is that you don't want to fall into the rhythm of the bulls. They are masters of rhythm. Remember this Ray, I don’t ask you to be able to guard Jordan, I just ask you to interfere with him, Robert and Kevin, you two should also pay attention, Pippen and Rodman are not so easy to deal with, you take it The next task is to defend, you know, don't foul, well, go on the court, the Bulls are nothing special, didn't they make our "triangle offense" a little dizzy just now, go ahead and show your true level. "

The game between the Rockets and the Bulls continued.

After the Rockets played a round of 'Triangle Offense' and were easily defended by the Bulls, they immediately changed their mode and started a high-level assault.

This sudden change from extremely slow to extremely fast made the Bulls very uncomfortable. After two raids, the Rockets have expanded the score to 8 points.

This annoyed Jordan very much when he was playing on the court, but on the court, he really couldn't say anything.

However, fortunately, the Bulls did not fall into the rhythm of the Rockets, and their experience played a big role.

Although this can't help them in defense, but in terms of offense, because Jordan was very annoyed in his heart, the resentment in his heart was completely vented on Ray Allen. In the last few minutes, Ray Allen Was completely blown away.

However, looking at Ray Allen who was still so refreshed, Jordan was very puzzled, so he asked Ray Allen at the end of the first quarter, and Jordan said: "Boy, how come you have already lost?" I feel it, after being scored so many goals, you can still be so calm, I don’t know if it means you have concentration or you are heartless.”

Ray Allen smiled gently when he heard the words, and said: "Michael, you should look at the score. The first quarter is over, and the Rockets have already led by 10 points. What can you do if you blow me up in the last few minutes? Is it possible to score like this in the whole game? If we can, we have nothing to say even if we lose."

Jordan reacted this time. The Rockets are deliberately playing singles to consume their physical strength and the touch of other Bulls players.

Jordan was taken aback, and then asked Ray Allen, "Boy, why did you tell me this?"

Ray Allen smiled and said: "Hehe, if the Zen master still can't see it, then he is not a Zen master."

Jordan looked back and saw that the Zen master had picked up the tactical board and was about to start explaining the tactics. Jordan took a deep look at Ray Allen and said, "Boy, you are very good."
