Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 196 We Are Creating Miracles

After the Rockets defeated the Spurs by 20 points at home, the Rockets have a record of 32 wins and 3 losses this season.

Such a result is infinitely close to the Rockets' performance last season.

On the second day after the game, the Rockets got another one-day vacation. After the vacation, the Rockets will go to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz again. This challenge, the Rockets came with revenge.

On the day of the break, Lao Tang called Olajuwon. On the phone, Lao Tang said: "Hakeem, I want to talk to you."

Olajuwon said with a smile on the phone: "Coach, I know what you want to tell me, is it about the main force?"

Lao Tang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and praised: "As expected of a player, these things can be known at a guess."

Olajuwon took the phone, poured himself a glass of water and said, "Coach, did the bus leave the team?"

Lao Tang on the other side of the phone was silent for a while and said: "I hope you keep it secret, Hakim, although many people can see this matter, as long as it is not confirmed for a day, it will only be a wish, do you understand? ?”

Olajuwon said with a serious face: "Don't worry, coach, I know what to do. However, I have a question, if the bus leaves, who will make up for the defect that he left."

Lao Tang said with a smile: "There is already a candidate, you can rest assured. After this person comes, I hope you can be his full-time trainer."

Olajuwon was slightly surprised when he heard it, and he immediately understood how much the Rockets executives had hoped for this new player. It is my honor, and I am very much looking forward to the arrival of this kid."

The two chatted for a few words, then hung up the phone. After Olajuwon put down the phone, he took a deep breath and said in his heart: I don't know what kind of person this new guy will be, what will happen to him? Such a talent makes the coach spend such a large amount of money to train him.

While Olajuwon was still guessing, Lao Tang called Horry again, and Horry's deep baritone voice came from the phone, and Horry said: "Hi, Coach, what are you looking for?" Is there anything I can do?"

Lao Tang heard the voice of this good man and said: "Robert, I want to tell you about the fact that Austin always replaces you as the main force in the game recently."

Huo Li was stunned when he heard the words, and said: "Coach, this is your arrangement, I just obey, you don't need to explain anything, I am a professional player, I know how to do it."

Lao Tang shook his head on the phone and said, "Robert, you are the most important part of the team. I have to explain to you. It's my fault for taking so long to tell you."

Huo Li knew what Lao Tang was like, and quickly said on the phone: "You mean coach."

Lao Tang said unhurriedly: "Robert, I can only tell you one thing. Your position in the Rockets is very stable. The opinion of the boss and me is that as long as you still like to play in Houston, then you can play for the Rockets." Play here until retirement."

Although Horry was very prepared, Lao Tang made such a promise to him, which warmed Horry's heart, and said: "Don't worry, coach, as long as I can still play, as long as the Rockets still need me, I will definitely play in the Rockets." Go down, I swear on my daughter's name."

Hearing what Huo Li said, Lao Tang quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, Robert, I know what you're thinking, hehe, are you staying with Ai Xue again today? I, an old man, haven't seen this for a long time. Little girl, take me to say hello to him, and say that there is an old man who misses her very much."

Huo Li stabilized his emotions and said: "Thank you, coach, I think Ai Xue also misses you very much, and I will take her to see you when I have a chance."

The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

Lao Tang pondered for a while, picked up the phone again, and called Garnett.

Garnett, who was practicing shooting on the court in his home, picked up the phone and quickly connected the phone, saying, "Hi, Coach, I'm Kevin, what do you need?"

Lao Tang smiled and said, "I'm not bothering you, Kevin."

Garnett also smiled and said, "No, coach, I'm practicing on the court at home."

Lao Tang joked: "I thought you were sleeping late on the bed now, kid."

Garnett scratched his head and said, "That coach, am I that lazy in your mind?"

Lao Tang laughed and said, "Okay, Kevin, I'm not joking with you. I called you today to tell you something. Only you and Hakim know about this matter. I hope you don't spread it." .”

Garnett was stunned at the time, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking curiously: "What is it, such a mystery."

Lao Tang shook his head and said: "You boy, remember that outside rumors are not allowed. If there are some substitute players who have played a lot of playing time recently, they will leave the team next season. I hope you don't have any bad thoughts about Malik, you know."

Garnett understood what it meant as soon as he heard it, and immediately assured him: "Don't worry, coach, I will sort out the seriousness of the matter. I will not talk about such things."

Lao Tang nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Finally, let me tell you something, the boss once told me that as long as Kevin maintains his current state, he will be the leader of the Rockets for the next 10 years, you should understand The boss meant it."

Garnett was also stunned by Lao Tang's words, and opened his mouth wide, unable to react for a while.

Lao Tang heard no movement on the other side, thought something happened, and shouted loudly: "Hey, Kevin, Kevin, what's wrong with you."

Garnett, who was awakened by Lao Tang's loud shout, said quickly: "Nothing, nothing, coach, thank you for telling me these things, thank you so much."

Lao Tang encouraged Garnett to say a few words, and hung up the phone. After hanging up, the excited Garnett picked up the basketball on the ground, ran to the basket and slammed a 360-degree mid-air spin.

After the successful slam dunk, he roared loudly a few times to vent his excitement.

Lao Tang is also very satisfied with the realization of the three people. He is also very happy to see the problems in the team being stifled in the bud by himself.

After the team assembled, the Rockets went to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz again.

At the beginning of the game, the Rockets sent all the main players except the bus.

Today, the bus continued to compete with Ostertag on the inside. In the last game, Ostertag was struggling to deal with the bus, but he was still able to persevere. But after the game started, Oster Tag is completely at a disadvantage. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the bus has obviously suppressed Ostertag. The bus may be slightly inferior to the technical center forward. The problem is that the pace is slow. , It will not be corrected in a short while, but against a center like Ostertag, the bus is still very sure.

Several hits in a row, scoring points in the paint, forced the Jazz to help defend the bus. At this time, the bus's passing skills began to show, and the Jazz saw the continuous delivery of precise passes. A side of this player that is not usually seen.

Under Malone's defense, Garnett continued to cooperate with the bus in the inside line, and Horry also used his height advantage to go deep into the inside line again and again, carrying out strong attacks.

The Jazz's defensive center of gravity was forced to tilt inside, and Hornacek and Stockton had to often enter the inside to help defend.

In this way, the outside players of the Rockets have more space to attack, and the continuous firing of Rockets Ray Allen and Bodi Roga put the Jazz in a dilemma.

Seeing this situation, Sloan immediately called a timeout, replaced Hornacek with Shandon Anderson and began to strengthen the defense of the outside line and speed up the speed of rotation.

Such measures played a very good role, and it became difficult for the Rockets to attack.

On the defensive end, the Rockets are facing the Jazz, whose pick-and-roll tactics have penetrated into their bones, and the Rockets' defense is often broken.

The two sides formed a stalemate on the field, and neither team could do anything to the other for a while.

By the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 23:23, and the two sides were tied.

After a short break, Dameng replaced Bus, and Dameng's appearance increased the pressure on the Jazz's inside defense. Ostertag couldn't deal with Olajuwon at all, and could only be beaten again and again by Dameng's footsteps And fake moves.

Malone could only make up for his center again and again, and Dameng's passes were sent to Garnett again and again, which gave Garnett many mid-range shots. The consecutive mid-range shots made the Jazz only increase their defense on the inside.

Although the Jazz switches positions very quickly, the ball is faster than people after all. Under the wide range of conduction, the Rockets can always seize the Jazz's defense and score points.

In this way, the Rockets took advantage of the field little by little, and took the initiative in their own hands little by little.

When halftime, the Rockets have expanded the score of the two sides to 8 points.

Looking at the dejected Jazz, Lao Tang knew that the balance of victory in this game was already tilting towards the Rockets.

After halftime, the Jazz tried to fight back in the third quarter, and Ostertag grabbed a rebound over Bus's head with a near-foul move.

After Ostertag controlled the rebound, he handed the ball to Stockton immediately, and Stockton passed a long pass to Malone who was about to go down.

Just when Malone stuck Garnett behind him and was about to layup to end the attack.

Horry, who had returned to defense, made a fierce foul and hit Ma Long directly.

After landing, looking at the red arm, Ma Long smiled wryly and said, "Robert, you are so ruthless, you are really dark."

Horry smiled lightly and said, "Okay, Carl, this is a game. If I want a layup like this, you will slap me down like this."

Ma Long nodded, thought for a while and shook his head again.

Just walked over to the free throw.

Malone made two free throws and made one. This foul is still very appropriate.

The Jazz's counterattack failed under the Rockets' foul tactics, and the Rockets still controlled the situation on the court.

In this way, at the end of the third quarter, the Rockets continued to maintain an 8-point lead.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to keep the pressure on the Jazz. Many counterattacks organized by Sloan were killed by the Rockets.

At the end of the game, Sloan let out a long sigh. He knew that with the current capabilities of the Jazz, they had no way to stop the Rockets from advancing.

The Rockets are creating their own history and miracles.

　Tianjie has a bad stomach today, sorry, the one tonight will be later.
