Chapter 252
After the Rockets defeated the Heat in an away game, they returned to Houston leisurely. They will face their old rival Jazz at their home court.

Before the game, the Jazz issued a cautious declaration of victory. Before the game, Malone believed that the Rockets were a strong team. This is beyond doubt, but the Rockets are not invincible. Now there are several teams in the league that have the strength to beat the Rockets , but everyone hopes to save some physical strength to fight against weaker opponents, so that it is easier to win.However, it is this kind of thinking that makes the Rockets go faster all the way, allowing them to have home court advantage and psychological advantage in the playoffs. Let's compete.

Ma Long's remarks were reported by a large number of media. Lao Tang looked at Ma Long's words and comments in these newspapers, and just smiled slightly and said to Olajuwon: "Karl is jealous."

Olajuwon also smiled: "Yes, the Rockets have been too popular in recent years, which has aroused the jealousy of many people. However, if you are not jealous, you must be mediocre, so we don't have to take it too seriously."

Lao Tang didn't say much, but the Rockets players are not so easy to deal with. When Da Ben was interviewed by the reporter, he was asked about Malone. Da Ben's answer was very concise: "Let's see you on the field. As one of the top 50 superstars in the league, it's really not interesting to talk like a kid. Let's see the real chapter under our hands."

Daben's explosive answer made many media very excited. Many people were looking forward to the Rockets and Jazz's spat, but the fact disappointed many people. After hearing this, Malone just replied lightly: "Then We'll see you on the field."

It seems that the matter is over like this, but everyone knows that both the Rockets and the Jazz are really ready to educate their opponents.
Because both sides are silently preparing for the game.

On January 2000, 1, the game between the Rockets and the Jazz officially started at the Sky Arena, the home court of the Rockets. The Rockets' home court for this game was packed. People wanted to see how the two strong teams in the West finished the game. After the verbal fight, they are fighting a hand-to-hand fight.

Tiger also appeared behind the Rockets' bench once again. The players were very happy to see the boss who hadn't appeared for a long time.

Especially the old boy Mark Jackson, when he saw Tiger, he sneaked over and said in a low voice, "Boss, I heard that your wife is pregnant."

Tiger was taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "Yeah, what's the matter, what's the problem?"

Mark Jackson smiled and said, "It's not uncomfortable. Would you like me to take you to a place to relax?"

When Tiger heard this, he glanced at Mark? Jackson said disdainfully: "Mark, do you think it will be difficult for me, your boss, to find a woman?" Then he whispered: "You boy, I won't rush to come after the game , I am now being positioned by my wife's global satellite. If there is something wrong with my report position at any time, I will die miserably when I go home. Let me remind you, my sister is nearby. If you let him I heard, hey, I can't save you."

When Mark Jackson heard this, he shrank his neck and went back. He said loudly, "Forget about me, honest men like the boss are really hard to come by now."

After speaking, he blinked at Tiger, and Tiger secretly extended his thumb.

However, just as Mark Jackson turned to leave, Olajuwon came over and sat next to Tiger, softly telling the tragic experience of two NBA players in the hot spring street in Japan.

Tiger immediately pointed to Mark Jackson who was practicing with his eyes wide open. Olajuwon nodded sadly. Tiger sighed and said in a voice that he could only hear: "This fucking is really talented."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and Terrier, who just came back, saw her brother smiling like this, and was very proud of her wise decision to bring her brother to the arena for a release and proud.

Amid Tiger's laughter, the game between the Rockets and the Jazz began, and the players on both sides entered the game wholeheartedly at the first moment of the game.

Karl Malone turned his back to Garnett, who was [-] years younger than him, shaking gently, and Garnett was constantly adjusting the angle of his body, preparing to meet Malone's impact.

Ma Long said in a low voice: "Kevin, you have been enjoying a lot recently, the Rockets are now your world, Hakeem is about to retire."

Garnett raised his eyebrows: "I said Carl, you just play well, and say what is useless, and an old guy like you can go home directly."

Malone glanced back at Garnett and sneered, "Boy, today I'll show you how the old man overthrew you." Before coming over, a single-handed dunk directly smashed the basketball into the basket, and a loud "boom" was heard throughout the Sky Arena through the loudspeakers.

The Rockets fans at home, watching Malone ravage the Rockets' basket, booed everywhere for a while.

The success of the dunk reflects Malone's powerful strength, because when Malone turned around and broke through for the first time, Garnett was directly knocked away by Malone's strength two steps away.

Garnett touched the hurting chest, and cursed secretly in his heart: This old guy is really strong, and ordinary people really can't deal with him. This old guy is almost 40, why is he still so strong? big.

Big Ben next to him saw Garnett's expression was not very good, knowing that the hit just now was serious, he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Kevin, how about we change positions and I will deal with old Carl. You go and deal with the great pyrenes."

Garnett looked at Big Ben and said, "Dude, in the pre-match arrangement, my opponent was Old Carl, a bastard. I won't give up. Go and keep an eye on your man."

After finishing speaking, he gritted his teeth and pressed directly towards Malone. At this time, Garnett also felt a sense of evil in his heart, and said secretly: I don't believe that I can't handle you old bastard.

As soon as Garnett exerted his strength, the offensive power of the Rockets' insiders began to rise. With the support of Da Ben, the Rockets' insiders did not fall into a disadvantage at the beginning of the game.

However, the outside defensive Rockets encountered a lot of trouble, Jazz today's starter is not Hornacek, but Shandon? Anderson.Anderson has grown very rapidly in the past few years in the Jazz. With his precise three-pointers, coupled with his good breakthrough and active defensive attitude, he has become No.1 on the Jazz bench. If Hornacek retires If so, then Shanton? Anderson will immediately become the main player.However, when the Jazz met the mighty Rockets today, Hornacek was at a disadvantage in terms of offense, because the Rockets' perimeter defenders were really great.

Horry is getting older and smarter. Now Horry is the Rockets' No.1 defense on the perimeter. His sophisticated defense, precise judgment, and flexible foot movement ability are becoming more and more in Lao Tang's hands. The ace of the swingmen on the perimeter.

Although Ray Allen was killed by Iverson at the last moment in the game where the 76ers had a classic record, Ray Allen's defensive ability was also accepted by the entire league. There is no way for a super god Not everyone can deal with the 'AI' in the state.Under such circumstances, it is already very difficult for Ray Allen to be able to conduct such a defense.

Even Iverson admitted after the game that Ray Allen's defense against him was very successful. If he didn't feel good that day, the 76ers would surely lose.

However, today Ray Allen once again met a super god player, he is Shandon Anderson.Under Ray Allen's defense today, Anderson seemed to have transformed into Jordan. His shooting today was simply unstoppable. At the beginning, Ray Allen thought he could use fouls to interrupt the opponent's touch, but this turned out to be His substitute has quietly grown to such a height.

Consecutive shots, consecutive hits, even if it was Ray Allen's foul, when Anderson shot, he slapped the opponent's arm directly, even this could not stop Anderson's shooting.

The entire first quarter was a one-man show for Anderson.Yes, a one-man show, a show that no one can stop.

After the start of the second quarter, Ray Allen confronted Shandon Anderson again, and he heard Ray Allen say, "Shenton, you really did a good job today. Your pain is so hot."

Anderson smiled and didn't say anything. Facing Ray Allen's defense, he didn't know what happened today. Shandon seemed very confident today. That kind of self-confidence that he didn't know why had become his biggest trump card today.

Seeing the defenseless Ray Allen, Lao Tang could only replace Saulius to strengthen the defense and put more pressure on his opponent.

Ray Allen, who returned to the field, sat on a chair weakly, not knowing what happened to him today, even if he made his best efforts, he couldn't stop Anderson from playing today.

Old Tang was sitting next to Ray Allen, watching his love general turn into the whole shape, Lao Tang smiled and said in a low voice: "Ray, no more, don't you see that Sboga can't defend against opponents. "

Ray Allen was slightly taken aback when he heard Lao Tang's voice, but when he looked up, he saw that Saulius had been shot again by Anderson. Before the second quarter was over, Anderson had become the Jazz's scoring leader.

And his performance today is not over yet. After adjustments during the intermission, Ray Allen and Saulius felt that Anderson's touch should have declined, but the amazing performance continued.

Saulius looked at his former teammates with some breathlessness, just looked at him without any expression, and Anderson was the same. The current score difference between the two sides is only 3 points, and there are still 2 minutes and 07 seconds left. Now it is The Jazz lead, and it is the Jazz who holds the final offensive power.

Looking at Anderson who has been burning today, it is estimated that even Jordan will be blown up in front of him now. How many points Anderson has scored now, Saulius did not remember, he just remembered him Ray Allen He has been completely blown away by the person in front of him.

Looking at the gestures on the sidelines, Saulius suddenly discovered that the teammate in front of him had already scored 45 points. This is a terrible guy.

There are still 2 minutes left, and now the Jazz lead by 3 points, which means that the Rockets must put down the ball, but do the Rockets have such confidence?It seems not.

Lao Tang, who was on the sidelines, made a gesture to Horry, indicating to flank Anderson. Horry pounced on him like a hungry wolf. Unfortunately, Hornacek, who came on the bench, was emptied because of Horry's flank.

It was at such a moment that Hornacek completed his most deadly three-pointer in the game. He only took two shots in this game, but all of them were hit.It was this precise three-pointer that completely wiped out the Rockets' hopes of overtaking the score.

Lao Tang completely saw how the ball was scored from the sidelines. It can be said to be very simple. Anderson was flanked, Hornacek was emptied, and then Anderson passed the ball, and then Hornacek hit a very simple open space three-pointer.It was such a simple cooperation that made the Rockets' efforts throughout the game in vain.

Lao Tang was very helpless. When Hornacek received the ball, he already knew that it was not good. At that time, Lao Tang wished he could go up and give Hornacek a shot.

The Jazz led by six points with 1 minute and 50 seconds left in practice. Tiger, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also sighed, because he also knew that the Rockets had no hope for this game.

If other teams still play, but facing the Jazz, Tiger can only smile wryly, watching his team silently, losing to a team that has always wanted to beat them at his home court, And this team still has such strength.

The game ended with the roar of the timer, and all the Jazz players were celebrating this hard-won victory. Tiger didn't want to see the Jazz celebrating their victory over the Rockets, so he got up and left immediately.

At this moment, Mark Jackson stopped Tiger, and Mark Jackson said bitterly, "Boss, I don't want to take it today. I lost the game today. I'm very sad. I'm going home first."

Tiger nodded, without saying anything, turned around and continued to leave.

And all the players of the Rockets left with some sadness, and the Rockets finally ushered in their fourth loss of the season.

Tiger sighed on the way home: "Hey, it seems that this game is not so easy to win."

Thinking about the Rockets 111:103 today, Tiger knows that the Rockets' road to defending this season is definitely not so easy.

At the press conference after the game, Sloan was very proud, but Tang's words made all the teams who wanted to see the Rockets' jokes shut up.

Lao Tang said with a murderous look on his face: "If the end game is against the Jazz, no matter the home or away game, as long as I lose, I will resign and go home."

Looking at such a rocket, the old Sloan, who was very proud just now, is completely speechless now.

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