Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 232 The Second Yao Shark War

After the Rockets beat the Lakers at their home court, O'Neal returned to Los Angeles full of reluctance.However, before leaving, Shark dropped the words, saying that when he returns to Los Angeles, he must teach the Rockets a good lesson, especially the kid from China. The kid played for 2 minutes and molested O'Neal twice. At that time, he didn't even play, which made Shark very upset.

After the game, Dayao also asked Olajuwon privately. Olajuwon smiled and said to Yao: "Okay, Yao, I know what you are thinking, but there is one thing you need to know. Rudy did this. There must be a reason, you have to trust Rudy."

Dayao said with some desire and dissatisfaction: "But, I really want to compete with O'Neill."

Olajuwon patted Dayao and said: "Man, you have to know that as long as you are in the Rockets, then you have at least four chances to fight that shark every year. Don't worry, and we will soon After playing against the Lakers, I believe Rudy will give you a chance."

Dayao nodded and said nothing.

On November 1999, 11, the Lakers' new arena at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.Just this year, the Lakers bid farewell to the Great Western Forum and moved to the Staples Center. Although the Lakers players and fans were a bit reluctant, for the development of the team, Old Buss insisted on moving the team to the Staples Center. .In a previous life, the Lakers experienced their three-peat here, and the Sharks and Peter Pan made a very strong 'OK' combination.However, they now encountered an unprecedented strong enemy, that is the Houston Rockets, the team that had declined in the previous life.

However, the current Rockets are like a mountain, weighing heavily on the teams of the entire league. This year, a large number of Western Conference teams have begun to strengthen their teams, and the Lakers are no exception.

After finding the Zen master, the current Lakers really have the strength to wrestle with the Rockets.

But after losing to the Rockets in the last game, the Lakers finally discovered that the Rockets are still so strong, and with the psychological advantage, the Rockets still have an advantage against the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, the Rockets are still the original main force, Big Ben, Garnett, Horry, Ray Allen, Bodi Loga.

The same is true for the Lakers, Sharks, AC Green, Rice, Kobe, Harper.

In fact, if you compare the lineups of the Rockets and the Lakers, you will find that there are many similarities. The offensive lines of the Sharks, Kobe and Rice can score close to 70 points in a single game, while Harper and Green focus on defense.

The same is true for the Rockets. Big Ben and Horry focused on defense. Garnett, Ray Allen and Bodi Loga also scored about 65 points in the game.

But when it comes to substitutes, the Lakers are a lot short of the Rockets.

After the start of the game, the Lakers and the main players had an inseparable fight with the Rockets' main players, but the Rockets' substitutes were obviously much higher in quality than their opponents.

Fox, Fisher and Brian Shaw, against Olajuwon, Harperin, Saulius, Daniels, plus a group of potential rookies from the Rockets, the Lakers played very tired. When the team provokes the Rockets, they are very tired.No way, the Rockets' bench is really too strong.

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, the Rockets replaced Dayao again.

Immediately after Dayao took the ball, O'Neal took the initiative to meet him. He lowered his center of gravity, showed his white teeth, and said coldly: "Boy, welcome to the NBA, come to Staples, I will Let you know how brutal the NBA is."

Dayao Bird didn't have any birds with O'Neal, and directly used his height to make a jumper, and the basketball accurately got into the basket behind O'Neal.

Dayao smiled lightly and said, "Dude, is this the cruel NBA you're talking about?"

Looking at Yao Yun's calm goal, O'Neill's face is now green. He was tricked by the Chinese twice in the last game, and he must get it back this time.

Thinking of this, O'Neal snorted coldly and said, "Boy, don't be arrogant, the coaching between us has just begun."

Dayao looked at O'Neill, who was rising with false fire, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I know, buddy, I'll be waiting for you."

Looking back, the Lakers attacked. After O'Neal asked for the ball, he directly squeezed Dayao away, hugged the basketball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket. With a "boom", the basketball stand was crunched by the shark. It made a noise, as if it was about to fall apart.

Dayao on the side nodded in admiration and said, "It's so strong. If it was in my hometown, with this kind of strength, there would be no need to raise cattle at home. This is definitely more powerful than two cows."

Shark, who just took two domineering steps on the side, was so soft that he could hang on the ground. The momentum that Shark had created with a dunk just now was completely lost by Dayao's words.

All the Rockets players next to them were laughing, and the Lakers players were all blushing, not daring to laugh.

O'Neill, who had already walked back, turned around and walked to Dayao's side, and said in a hateful voice, "Boy, what are you talking about, believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

Seeing the ferocious O'Neal, Garnett rushed over quickly, stood between the two, and shouted in a low voice: "Shaq, what, do you want to fight? If you fight, I will accompany you. What do you mean, kid? If you can't beat the ball, just hit someone."

O'Neal looked at Garnett with a fierce face, and other Rockets players also surrounded him. At this time, the referee saw that the situation was not good, so he rushed up directly, separating the players from both sides.

Although there was no conflict between the two sides, the referee still gave a T to O'Neal who provoked the conflict. When Dayao was replaced, he whispered next to O'Neal: "It seems that my dad is right. A dog that bites never barks, and a dog that barks the loudest never dares to bite."

Hearing this, O'Neill understood at this moment that this kid is definitely a slob, and I must hold back, I must hold back.

Sharks showed amazing self-control at this moment. Dayao, who returned to the sidelines, hurriedly said to Olajuwon and Mark Jackson: "Hakeem, Mark, I have told you everything you taught me. Why Shaq, or It didn't catch fire."

At this moment, O'Neill, who didn't go far, cried directly. It turned out that these two old bastards taught this rookie to do this. These two old villains, you two will have children without assholes in the future.

Don't mention that O'Neill scolded Olajuwon and Mark Jackson in his heart.

By halftime, the Rockets had a seven-point lead over the Lakers.

During the halftime break, O'Neal and Kobe were a little frustrated because they had lost to the Rockets countless times. The Zen Master on the side looked at the two of them. Phil Jackson walked up to the two of them and said: "Shaq , Kobe, are you frustrated because you are once again behind the Rockets, and you may even lose to them again.”

The two nodded helplessly, and Phil Jackson smiled and said: "When I was coaching Michael, the championship I lost was lost to the Rockets, but in the first two years, the Rockets were not our opponents at all. , then I admit that the Rockets are very strong now, but are you weak? I just want to tell you that the real strength of a strong man is in his own heart, and it is my confidence that I can fight any opponent, and I can still defeat the opponent. In this state, it is impossible to defeat your opponent."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the two of them and left directly.

Such words shocked Shaq and Kobe quite a lot, because they always asked themselves when they met the Rockets, especially at the most critical time of the game, can we beat the Rockets?This is because of their own lack of self-confidence. At this time, they are thinking, if we don't even have the confidence to defeat the opponent, then we are still playing a fart.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the burning flames of war in each other's eyes.

After the game started at off hours, the Rockets began to suffer, and O'Neal and Kobe were attacked like a tide.Seeing this situation, Lao Tang on the sidelines frowned.

A fearless O'Neal plus a fearless Kobe, there is definitely a superimposed effect between the two. Under such circumstances, the score was caught up by the Lakers bit by bit.

Such an effect was exactly what Phil Jackson wanted. Sitting on the sidelines, Phil Jackson watched the game leisurely with his legs crossed.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the Rockets and the Lakers had become a tie.

In the last quarter of the game, Lao Tang replaced Olajuwon, hoping that Olajuwon could create a little trouble for O'Neal inside.

However, the Rockets were very unfortunate to encounter a person's outbreak, not O'Neal, not Kobe, but Rice.

This guy who was underestimated by many people began to explode. He scored three consecutive three-pointers, making all the arrangements of Laotang come to naught. The Lakers began to take the initiative on the field in the fourth quarter, and the "triangular tactics" with O'Neal as the core Started to show off again.

Facing the Lakers and accurately passing the ball, the Rockets faced serious confusion in their defense. The Lakers seized the opportunity to hit the basketball consecutively, and the score between the two sides was quickly opened.

When the clock was up, the Lakers beat the Rockets 98-91 on their home court.

The Lakers players on the field were celebrating the victory of the game wantonly, while the Rockets left the field a little sadly.

Dayao looked at the wanton celebration of the Lakers players on the field, with tears in his eyes, and said to Olajuwon in a low voice: "Hakeem, why does my heart really hurt?"

Olajuwon said calmly: "Yao, you have to remember that this is an NBA game. There are winners and losers. You have to learn to adjust yourself. Just like what Shaq told you, welcome to the NBA. The game was brutal."

The Rockets ushered in their first defeat of the season.
