Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 228 Rocket China Trip

After the league determined the four teams for the preseason in China, the Rockets once again became the focus of attention, and the Chinese No. [-] pick Dayao also once again became the focus of all media.

However, the Rockets, who have experienced a lot, no longer take these things to heart, and they are still waiting for the game to come.

Some of the Rockets players are suffering because they failed the physical examination, waiting for their training plan specially formulated by the Rockets coaching staff. At this moment, those players who failed the physical examination really cried.

No way, who told them to have so much fun during the holidays, and now I don't know how they died.

Dayao was very excited when he knew that he was going back to his hometown for the preseason game, because this kind of homecoming is the favorite thing for Chinese people, and he can show off to the person in his heart. Wrong, to show off, you have to know that the current Dayao is still a kid who is not yet 19 years old, so it's not bad if he doesn't get carried away.

However, Tiger couldn't go because he was going to get married soon. If he was only going to China at this time, Amy might be able to kill someone with a knife. It's better not to touch the woman's bad luck at this time.

Hey, women who are planning to get married are irrational. (Heaven has a deep understanding. When that brother gets married in the future, don't make troubles yourself. You will die miserably.)
Tiger could only lament, don't go, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

In the blink of an eye, it’s October, the preseason is about to start, and the Rockets are starting to go to China. At the Houston Airport, Tiger is seeing off all the Rockets players. Watching the Rockets’ players board the plane and leave one by one, Tiger There were bursts of sighs in his heart. He really didn't expect that because of his arrival, the NBA's preseason games would land in China this year, and the NBA's internationalization process was also advanced because of his arrival.

On October 1999, 10, the Rockets and Trail Blazers arrived in Shanghai.To be honest, this preseason game is much more enjoyable than the preseason game between the Rockets and the Kings in the previous life.

Needless to say, Pippen and Olajuwon, who are 50 NBA superstars, have an unprecedentedly strong fan base in China. In addition, after Olajuwon completed his subversion of the Bulls dynasty, Olajuwon also It has become the second only to Jordan in China.

In addition, Garnett and Rasheed Wallace, the leaders of the new generation of the team, are both representatives of power forwards in the new century. One is the fourth pick in the 95 draft, the other is the fifth pick. The picks are close, and the strength is not much different, so this game is full of confrontation.

Although there are no Chinese players in the Trail Blazers, the existence of Sabonis has also aroused the memories of some old fans. This figure who is an all-powerful figure in the international basketball world is the idol of many people when they did not see too many NBA games. , and he is Dayao's only idol. People want to see how two center forwards over 2.20 meters fight on the field. Well, let's forget about the fighting skills and see how Dayao is abused.

In this way, with the addition of some other players, the game between the two sides is definitely a focus level. Although the league decided to come to China in a hurry, this year the Rockets chose a Chinese champion. The matter was settled very quickly, and the companies that undertook the two teams' competitions in China were also very energetic. In just a few days, a lot of trivial matters were taken care of.

Although they didn't come and the general manager Dawson led the team, the Rockets and his team still received the best hospitality. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the Rockets and the Blazers received the highest standard of courtesy, which made the players of the two teams very happy. satisfaction.

On October 1999, 10, the Rockets and Trail Blazers started the NBA's preseason trip to China at the Shanghai Stadium with 14 people. , the game started, both sides lined up their main players, Olajuwon, Garnett, Ray Allen, Horry, Bodi Loga, Sabonis, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, These NBA superstars delivered a perfect basketball feast to Chinese fans.

Olajuwon's dreamy dance steps made all the fans present fascinated. Garnett's wildness made people realize that basketball is not as simple as people think.

Ray Allen's precision and elegance have attracted many female fans, and Bodi Loga's handsomeness and precise passing have also made him the favorite of the two Shanghai fans.

The Blazers also performed well. In front of Pippen, all those fans who love the Bulls dynasty saw their idols at close range.

Although Sabonis is old, the passing of this old man is still so threatening. He can always hand the basketball to the most suitable player at the most appropriate time.

Rasheed Wallace and Garnett fought very fiercely, but they just had fun fighting on offense. Both of them relaxed a lot when defending. After all, it was a preseason game that they would not defend. So strict.

In the first quarter, the two sides were tied. In the 5th minute of the first half, Dayao was replaced on the field. Facing his idol, Dayao showed no mercy. With a very beautiful turn, he got rid of Sabonis' defense. , came to the basket with a big step, and scored two points for the Rockets with a light basket. The noise of the Chinese fans present almost broke the roof of the stadium.

And Sabonis also used his own experience and technology to make Dayao understand what the real 'roof of the world' is.

The competition between the two sides was fierce, but this was a preseason game after all. After their main players played for a whole quarter, the two sides began to replace substitute players from the second quarter to give more chances to substitute players. Let the young players on both sides have more opportunities to exercise themselves.

However, the young people's game became more intense and exciting, with both sides' wonderful slam dunks emerging one after another, and even Dayao and Bodi Loga made a beautiful alley-oop.

The game ended in such an atmosphere at 95:88, and the Rockets only won by 7 points. Although the Rockets won the game, the atmosphere between the two sides was still very harmonious. Everyone knows that this is just a show, and winning or losing is no big deal.

After the game, Dayao invited all the Rockets and Trail Blazers to have a good meal of Shanghai's local dishes. Although he ate a little blood, seeing how satisfied these NBA stars ate, Da Yao Yao is also very happy.

And this time back to Shanghai, the famous Yao team of later generations has already been established, but with the help of the Rockets, such a Yao team is more rational.

On the second day of the game, under the leadership of Dayao, the star of the Rockets visited the scenery of Shanghai Beach, and Dayao became the tour guide for the whole process.

The Mavericks and the Eagles in BJ were evenly matched. Neither side expected that the other side would have such fighting power. On the Eagles side, Steve Smith was not sent to the Trail Blazers when the bus arrived. The offense of the bus was obviously stronger than Mutombo is better, and he is also good at passing the ball. He often forms a joint force with Steve Smith and constantly impacts the opponent's defense.

With the addition of new arrivals Terry and Coles, the Hawks are still very competitive in the new season.

The same goes for the Mavericks. Now the Mavericks are also very good inside. Although their physical condition is generally average, they have flexible footwork, a tough style and a ruthless style in the inside offense. In addition, they are quite accurate in mid-range and long-range shots. Inside the Mavericks has become an indispensable main substitute player.

Another big man, the German Dirk Nowitzki, has improved even more rapidly. With the height of a power forward and the skills of a small forward, plus a stable mid-range and long-range shot, he and roughly two people have become all opponents What the Mavericks lack is a real inside defender.

On the outside, the combination of Michael Finley, Nash and Ginobili has initially shown its power. Although there is still a problem with the distribution of the ball, fortunately, neither Ginobili nor Nash is a top-notch figure. The atmosphere is still very harmonious.

The game between the two sides was very intense. The Eagles had a great advantage in the interior strength, and the Mavericks' shooting also made the Eagles uncomfortable.
The score between the two sides has been deadlocked like this.However, under the leadership of Ginobili, a group of Mavericks' substitutes played a very exciting wave of attacks. Ginobili broke through continuously, and the famous snake-shaped breakthrough is now very powerful. up.

The Eagles were caught off guard by the Mavericks in an 8:0 attack wave. At the end of the first half, the Mavericks led by 10 points.

However, after the off-hours started, Steve Smith began to explode. This underrated All-Star and member of the Dream Team, who was underestimated by many people, showed his strongest side in the off-hours of this game. The sudden stop jump shot made Finley who was defending him very distressed. There was no way he couldn't defend him.

Steve Smith scored 16 points in a single quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the scores of the two sides became a tie again.

After entering the fourth quarter, the two sides were still anxious, probably due to physical reasons. Steve Smith failed to maintain the strong attack power of the third quarter, and the two sides continued to pull hard in the last quarter.

The most exciting moment of the game appeared in the last 7.6 seconds. At the last moment, Bus used a layup to give the Eagles a one-point lead.

In the last 7.6 seconds, the Mavericks had the final attack.

Roughly a 45-degree angle ran out from the inside, received the ball at a 30-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line, then turned around and made a jump shot. The basketball was hit immediately. The Mavericks relied on this shot to kill the Eagles at the last moment.

However, after the game, the winner generally paid a big Donglaishun hot pot, and the players of the Eagles and Mavericks ate a hard meal, which made the general's purse less. However, this is not a big deal for the general. Yes, the annual sponsorship is a big number.

On the second day, I strolled in BJ for another day, and on the third day, the Eagles and Mavericks were flying to Japan.
