Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 111 Supersonic life and death battle

The third game of the noisy first round of the playoffs has officially begun, and the Rockets are easily repairing the Timberwolves.

The situation has become clear, the Rockets can completely let the soy sauced Timberwolves go home, and the third game is basically a matter of going through the motions.

However, the most intense matchup between the Sonics and the Spurs in the West.It is also unlucky for the Sonics, with the same record as the Lakers, but it is used for the divisional relationship, ranking third, directly facing the No.6 Spurs.

It would be better if they ranked fourth, after all, the current overall strength of the Suns is still a bit worse than that of the Spurs.

No way, let's fight, who let us run into it.

The Supersonics were very unfortunate to encounter an explosive Barkley in the last quarter of the first game. They hit 5 consecutive three-pointers and scored 22 points in a single quarter. The Supersonics lost the first game 108:101. The game, let the Spurs take the lead.

In the second game, the Supersonics didn't dare to be careless after the start, and strengthened their defense against Barkley, effectively cutting off the opponent's internal and external connections, and isolating the opponent's scoring players.

In the end, it was difficult to win the second game.

98:89
Although they won by 9 points, the Spurs' toughness also made the Sonics suffer.

Today is the third game, which can also be said to be a decisive game. Whoever wins this game will win the match point, and whoever has both feet has already stepped into the semifinals of the Western Conference. George ? Karl and Popovich are very serious about this game.

In the Supersonics locker room, George Karl took the tactical board and explained the tactics of the Supersonics on the field today.I just heard him say: "Today's game is very important. I don't want to repeat the criticality of the game with you. Now I will tell you what we should pay attention to in this game. Everyone knows that the Spurs The strongest points are that, in the first game, we did not restrict Barkley enough, which caused his explosion in the last quarter and completely defeated us. In fact, the biggest key is our restriction on the inside of the Spurs Insufficient, with David Robinson and Duncan's interior containment, we gave Barkley a lot of space in the final game, and gave him a chance to explode. In the second game, our interior Baker and Jim McGee protected the interior very well, fully restricted the inside of the Spurs, and provided us with the opportunity to fully restrict Barkley on the outside, so we were able to win the second game. This fully shows that the inside line is the key to our victory, there is no doubt about it, and finally I think you all understand my thoughts."

Everyone at Supersonic nodded and said, "Understood."

George Karl also nodded and said: "It's good to understand, let's start, guys, one step forward is heaven, one step back is hell, you choose yourself, I can tell you what I can tell you. After playing, it is up to you to perform on your own, but I believe that the final victory belongs to the Sonics, go forward guys."

George Karl was doing the final mobilization, and the Supersonic players were also cheering themselves up, shouting: "Go forward, Supersonic."

And in the Spurs' locker room, Popovich was also making the final tactical arrangements.

Popovich looked at the Spurs players, held the pointer, pointed to the large tactical board and said: "We can beat the opponent in the first game. The main reason is that David and Tim controlled the inside and gave the outside Charles opened up quite a lot of space, and coupled with the physical strength of the opponent, we won the first game. In watching the second game against the Supersonics, the Supersonics strengthened their defense inside. It has greatly suppressed our inside line, resulting in the lack of our internal and external offensive and defensive chains. Therefore, the focus of this game is to compete for the inside line. Charles will have a heavy task in your game today. You need to connect the entire Inside and outside, it will be very difficult, do you have any questions?"

Barkley nodded calmly and said, "Don't worry, coach, there's no problem."

Popovich nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's go and beat our opponents, go, lads."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the Spurs players to enter the field.

The game started in such a tense atmosphere.

Players on both sides entered a tense state of play from the very beginning.

The Supersonics and Spurs players, keeping in mind the coach's instructions, fought for the interior. Jim McGee held back David Robinson, and Duncan and Baker were also entangled. The inside line began to scramble.

There is also a special figure on the sidelines today to watch the game.

That is Tiger Jones, the owner of the Rockets. He came to relax with Amy Adams. The game between the Rockets and the Timberwolves is nothing to watch. The Rockets are like a strong man bullying a minor. Not in a class.Therefore, Tiger chose a city that is closer to Houston, and the strength of the two sides is relatively close to the more exciting team. In this way, Tiger and Amy came to San Antonio to watch the third game between the Supersonics and the Spurs .

Without disturbing the Spurs club, tickets for two front-row games were sold, and Tiger and Amy began to enjoy the two-person world.

Tiger looked at Amy and said with a smile: "Honey, I was going out with you to relax, but I didn't expect you to come watch basketball with me."

Amy smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, Tiger, don't say that. After leaving you for such a long time, I finally have some free time. Shouldn't I spend more time with you?"

Tiger was happy when he heard it, and said: "Hehe, our Amy is now a strong woman. She used to be a man with a woman, but when you become a woman with a man, why are you not afraid of me stealing sex?"

Amy rolled her eyes fiercely and said, "If you dare to cheat, I'll tie a bow on your little brother and see how you cheat."

Tiger pursed his lips and said happily: "Amy, you always say bow tie, bow tie, what the hell is that thing?"

Amy glanced at the crowd around her, and whispered in Tiger's ear: "It's just to put Indian oil on your little brother, and while it's effective, make a knot inward, I usually take care of this It's called a bow tie."

After hearing this, Tiger immediately broke out in cold sweat, and said in his heart: Unexpectedly, this girl is still a fierce character. If something really happens outside in the future, my brother will be in trouble.

Amy looked at the cold sweat on Tiger's head and the embarrassment on his face, covering his mouth and having a good time.

Then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, Tiger, what's wrong with you, why is your head covered in sweat, are you sick?"

Tiger was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said: "No, no, my dear, I'm fine, don't worry, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Amy asked intentionally, "You're really all right."

Tiger nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "It's really okay, it's really okay, let's watch the game outside, the game has already started."

Tiger quickly changed the subject, but fortunately the game between the Sonics and the Spurs had already begun.

Amy also diverted her attention and began to watch the players on the field.

The game between the Spurs and the Sonics has been in a heated state from the first second.

The fierce internal struggle between the two sides is the focus of both sides today. The combination of Duncan and Robinson can be called the most powerful inside combination in the past 10 years, and it still has a certain advantage. After the game started, basketballs were frequently sent to the inside. David ? Robinson and Duncan took turns attacking the inside of the Sonics.

For a while, the inside of the Supersonics was jittery, and the other players of the Supersonics took turns to return to the inside to help defend.

But the result of the defense was not very good. In the first quarter of the game, Duncan and David Robinson jointly scored 19 points, which made all the home fans ecstatic.

At the end of the first quarter, Popovich praised Duncan and David Robinson.

Popovich said: "It's great, guys, you are really good. For the whole quarter, you suppressed your opponent very well. Although Payton scored 10 points in the first quarter, he may stay like this." Continue to attack their inside line and let them know how powerful we are. Charles has also done a very good job, connecting the inside and outside very well, so let’s do this, beat them, and let us enter the semifinals.”

After speaking, let the Spurs players play.

The Supersonic players were on the bench, and were reprimanded by George Karl.

George Karl said: "What are you going to do? Don't you want to lose the entire series? Do you want to go home in such a dismal state? If you don't want to, give me some energy. For the Spurs The interior defense must be strengthened, don’t be afraid, it’s useless, Baker, McGee, you two must go up to know, don’t be afraid of fouls, this is the playoffs, you know this is the playoffs.”

The Supersonic players all kept their heads down, ready to give their opponents a good look.

Looking at the situation on the field, Amy, who was watching the game from the sidelines, asked Tiger: "Tiger, my dear, you see who will win this game."

Tiger heard this, and smiled bitterly: "Amy, this is very difficult to say. Now the Spurs have the advantage, but as long as the Sonics adjust their tactics, they have a chance to win. Now it depends on how the two sides play on the court. own advantage."

Amy looked at Tiger, curled her lips and said, "I thought you could tell at a glance who won and who lost. Aren't you known as an expert in basketball issues?"

Tiger laughed and said, "Hey, isn't that just bragging?"

Amy gave Tiger a blank look, hummed, and continued to watch the game.

Tiger also wiped the sweat off his head, and continued to focus on the game.

In the second quarter, the Supersonics really strengthened their control of the inside line and slowly caught up with the score.

The Sonics finally tied the game with 6 minutes left in the second quarter.

However, Tiger, who was off the court, watched the game on the court with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He could see that the Spurs had the upper hand.

Because, the Supersonic's perimeter defense has already seen a huge loophole, because Barkley is now also investing in the interior offense from time to time.

Now the Supersonic's defense on the outside line has almost been emptied.

Even if it is, "Little General" Johnson and Negro, JR? Jackson, no matter how low the shooting percentage is, it will be a huge threat.

If Popovich can't seize the opportunity, then he is not a competent head coach.

The Spurs' counterattack is about to begin.

Thinking of this, Tiger smiled cheaply and said to Amy: "My dear, shall we make a bet?"

Amy turned around and asked strangely: "What bet, Tiger, what do you want to bet on?"

Tiger looked at the situation on the court, and said with a pretentious solemnity: "Honey, let's bet on who will win and who will win, and we will bet on who will be on top and who will be on the bottom at night." After finishing speaking, he smiled .

Amy blushed when she heard it, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Well, don't regret it, hmph, I'll bet on the Supersonics to win. If you lose, you can just stay here."

Tiger quickly nodded in agreement, thinking to himself: Anyway, I am on top, or you are on top, I will not suffer, what am I afraid of.

Just after the two completed their intimate bet, the Spurs' counterattack began.

　Asking for everything I can ask for, my grades are dismal, everyone is so supportive.
