Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 209 The Old Enemy Meets

In the first game of the Western Conference finals between the Rockets and the Spurs, the Rockets encountered great difficulties after the start of the game. The Spurs resorted to the man-to-man zone defense they had practiced for a long time, although the Rockets had also practiced the solution to this defense before. .

However, due to the degree of cooperation between the Spurs players, the supplementary defense of the personnel, and the awareness of assisting defense, the Rockets have encountered unprecedented pressure on offense. As long as the Rockets attack with the ball, they will be double-teamed by at least two people.

After the start of the second quarter, Lao Tang made adjustments during the break, but the Rockets still couldn't solve the problem of weak offense.

Looking at such a game, Lao Tang hesitated a little. What should he do now, whether to attack with all his strength or strengthen the defense? Such a question made Lao Tang tangled up.

After thinking for a while, Lao Tang waved his hand from the sidelines, called Horry and Big Ben over, and said in a low voice: "Robert, Ben, you two will come on the field in a moment, and replace Austin and Hakim. Then, Tell everyone, let me defend, we can't score and let the opponent score, the only thing you two have to do is defend, Ben on the inside, Robert you on the outside, give me a real defensive battle."

After Horry and Big Ben played, the players on the Rockets began to implement Lao Tang's tactical intentions, although the Rockets are still 8 points behind.However, the Rockets' defensive shield had already been set up. Lao Tang, who was on the court, gritted his teeth and said in a voice he could only hear: "Play defense with the Rockets and see who dies first."

This is a real defensive battle. The Spurs hide their best defensive method, which is for the Rockets.

And once the Rockets defend seriously, they can suffocate any team. From the second quarter, what the Rockets' home fans saw was a real collision. The "bang, bang" collision between the muscles of the players on both sides, Because of the heavy breathing after the position was exerted, and the sound of the basketball hitting the rim, these sounds converged into the main theme of the second quarter.

The Spurs players suddenly discovered that the Rockets' defense has gone up to a new level. They were able to score just now, but now they can no longer score. In the second quarter, the two sides played for 4 minutes. No point.

Only the sound of the bodies of the players on both sides colliding and heavy breathing can be heard, but the fighting between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.

Big Ben used his strength and jumping to control his own rebounds. David Robinson was pushed outside by Big Ben, and there was nothing he could do.

Duncan faced Garnett. This pair of people who were destined to be opponents was also fighting desperately in this game. Arms were wrapped around arms, thighs to thighs. For the victory of their team, they were desperately fighting. Biting.

Horry gritted his teeth and resisted Barkley, but the shocks from the fat man's body came one after another, so Horry could only grit his teeth and resist desperately.

The only ones who can be more relaxed are Ray Allen and Bodi Loga. These two people are relatively easy to deal with Steve Kerr and "Little General" Johnson. After all, they are physically fit and old. They are all inferior.

The only good news on the field is that after the Rockets strengthened their defense, Bodi Loga can often use his height to create some opportunities on the offensive end and shoot shots. Although there are not many opportunities, the two sides scored in 4 minutes after work. The famine was broken by Bodi Loga.

After the Rockets strengthened their defense, Popovich couldn't sit still in his position, and frequently walked to the sidelines to direct the Spurs players to attack.

But the Rockets' approach is too tough. Whether it's inside or outside, the impregnable defense made all the Spurs feel helpless.

Popovich knows that now the Spurs need someone who can break the deadlock, someone who can kill the inside of the Rockets, and a strong breakthrough player. , is enough to save everything, but there is no such person on the Spurs bench now, no one, and the only one who can count on now is the "Little General" Johnson.

Can you expect a pure point guard who is not very physical to break through?This is somewhat unrealistic.

Therefore, now the Spurs can only bear it until the Rockets can't bear it anymore, but Popovich still underestimated the Rockets' tenacity. At the end of the second quarter, the Rockets still insisted on themselves tactics, aren't your Spurs well-trained in defense?Well, buddy and you will compare defense.

At halftime, the Rockets actually narrowed the 8-point gap between the two sides to three points. Such a score made Tiger excited on the sidelines.

42:39
The Spurs ended the halftime game with a three-point advantage. Popovich returned to the locker room with a headache. According to his vision, a strong team like the Rockets will definitely increase their attacks against a tortoise shell like the Spurs. Intensive, trying to use offense to solve their opponents, as long as the Rockets' offense is blocked, they will definitely become impatient, and the Spurs' opportunity will come.

However, what people didn't expect was that the Rockets also put on a tortoise shell. When they defended first, they used their own defense to ensure that they would not lose points first, and waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

This tactic is really different from Popovich's initial vision.

Popovich thought to himself: It’s a bit difficult. Now that the Rockets are playing defense, their defense is even better than ours. If this continues, it will be the Spurs who will suffer. The Rockets have many players. Due to physical problems of the game's own players, the defense is even worse. Then the Spurs are in crisis, and they must find a way to solve this problem.

As for the Rockets, Lao Tang is also thinking about the specific tactics for the second half. The Rockets are a team with a balanced offense and defense. Although the defense wins the championship, but now the Rockets are behind, we must solve the problem of weak offense. The determined Lao Tang strode towards the locker room.

This time Tiger didn't follow to the locker room, because Amy came with her.

Among the Rockets fans, Tiger's prestige is still very high. Many fans like this boss who is worth billions of dollars but is approachable. Not the boss of the Rockets.

Seeing the appearance of Amy, it attracted the attention of many people. We all know that Tiger is a beautiful girlfriend. I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful. Unlike the kind of wild and sexy women that American men like, Amy is That kind of beauty full of classic atmosphere, and such a beauty attracts men's attention even more.

Who knows, anyway, there are quite a few male fans around, all envious of Tiger, making jokes about Tiger, making Tiger laugh constantly.

During the intermission, Tiger led Amy, bought some snacks, and prepared to continue enjoying them after get off work.

Amy looked at the man next to her, busy holding a big bag of snacks for herself, sweating on the tip of her nose, Amy felt a burst of warmth in her heart, to find such a man, her last life It might really be a princess.

Back on the sidelines, pick a fan in his 50s, Jim Haas, a veteran Rockets fan, and when he saw Tiger taking back a big bag of food, he smiled and said, "I said, Tiger Ge, you eat so much food, you are not afraid to make your fiancée fat, if you really gain weight, I will see how you hug her into the wedding car when you get married."

Tiger said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, Jim, you don't know, my brother's strength is not free, as long as it doesn't exceed 200 pounds, I can bear it."

Jim held back his anger and asked, "That's more than 200 pounds."

Tiger is also a smart person. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I can hug more than 200 pounds. Do you think it's Amy?"

Amy gave Tiger a blank look at the side, and said, "You're smart."

The surrounding fans laughed again.

Amidst laughter, the intermission finally came to an end.

The second half of the game between the two sides also started. After the start of the second half, the rhythm of the game between the two sides seems to have changed a bit.

The two sides began to test each other and started to attack. Both sides realized that once this kind of entanglement continued, at the end of the game, who knows what would happen.

Such a change is really surprising.

The head coaches of both sides have also discovered this, but neither side is making any changes, because both sides know that a critical moment has come, a moment to decide the outcome has come.

Throughout the third quarter, both sides were cautiously carrying out tentative attacks. In such a trial, the Rockets had the upper hand, because the individual combat capabilities of several Rockets players were quite powerful.

Whether it is Bodi Loga, Ray Allen, or Garnett, the fighting power displayed by these three people is undoubtedly strong. Relying on their own abilities, the three of them struggled to win in the Spurs' iron barrel formation. When the score is reached, push the rocket forward with difficulty.

On the other hand, the Spurs really fell into the Rockets' defensive system, completely unable to extricate themselves.

Big Ben and Horry are like the Rockets' defensive gates on the inside and outside, blocking the Spurs' offense wave after wave.

David Robinson turned around and shot a jumper, and was slapped by Ben who was close to him, David Robinson could only stare at him with wide eyes, that's why you kid can jump so high.

When Duncan passed Garnett for a layup, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of him. Duncan shook his hand in shock, the basketball missed the basket, and Garnett controlled the rebound.

After Barkley forcibly broke through Horry, when he was smiling and preparing for a layup, an exploding head appeared in front of him again, and the bodies of the two collided in the air. There was a "bang", which made everyone's hearts tremble. , What a powerful impact, Barkley's hand was unstable, and the basketball missed again.

Big Ben thoroughly embodies the biggest characteristics of a defensive insider in this game. Everything that a super blue-collar can have can be found in Big Ben.

Horry's performance on the perimeter is also excellent. If Horry hadn't restrained Barkley, then the score between the two sides is uncertain now.

And Horry's supplementary defense also made the Spurs' perimeter defense airtight. Mario Eli, Steve Kerr and "Little General" Johnson felt that they were shrouded in that giant in the third quarter. The number 25 is under the shadow.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had overtaken the score by 4 points.

This score made Popovich and Lao Tang feel that there is a double sky of ice and fire.

　Ask for everything you can ask, thank you from the heavens.
