Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 253

The Rockets were overthrown by the Jazz at their home court. Shandon Anderson used his performance to prove that he is strong, and that anyone who goes out from the Rockets has considerable strength.

After the game, Lao Tang's declaration of battle also let all the teams in the league know the bloodiness of the Rockets, but these are not important anymore. What matters now is that the Rockets lost.

And it was defeated by a former Rockets player, which is already a great gimmick. From the moment the Rockets were defeated, all the media reporters went crazy to dig out all the things between the Rockets and Shanton Anderson. the past.

The uproar seems to be far away from the Rockets, because these boys of the Rockets are no strangers to it. They have experienced too much of this kind of mad dog report, and they have long been immune.

On the training ground, the Rockets were not affected by the loss to the Jazz in the last game. Although the rest was canceled the next day after the game, the training continued as usual.

Looking at the relaxed Rockets players, Lao Tang also had a smile on his face. Although they lost the game, the spirit of the Rockets remained the same.

Olajuwon watched Lao Tang walk to the edge of the training ground, greeted him, and said in a low voice: "I said, coach, didn't you set yourself up, your statement after the game was really not for yourself. Stay behind."

Lao Tang said nonchalantly: "Hakeem, if you still can't beat the Jazz in the next game, then you can go home directly. I can also go home directly. It is definitely luck that the Jazz can beat us in the last game. Shandon's outburst gave them a chance to beat us, or if you think that the Jazz and the old men want to win the Rockets, they are 5 years younger and talking about it."

Olajuwon thought about it for a while, and it was the same thing, and then he said: "Then you have talked too much, isn't there a just in case?"

Lao Tang gave Olajuwon a sideways look, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, if you are losing to the Jazz, I will give the boss and the new coach a very cool training plan. I think the person who takes over, No matter what, give my ex a little face."

Olajuwon looked at Lao Tang in horror and said: "I said, Rudy, you are not serious, if this is the case, I will retire immediately and go home to coax the children. I don't want to go to Hell in January and get a one-way ticket."

Lao Tang didn't speak, just pouted his lips so coldly, and this appearance of Lao Tang directly made Olajuwon break out in cold sweat.

Olajuwon saw that things were not good, so he laughed dryly twice, ran back to the training ground, and conveyed Laotang's meaning to all the Rockets players. After listening to what Olajuwon said, all The Rockets players all vowed secretly in their hearts that they must not let the Jazz get any advantage under their hands.

After two days of training for normal people, the Rockets set off again for 4 consecutive away games, which is a relatively big test for the Rockets. In addition, these 4 teams have many strong teams such as the Kings and Mavericks.

Guys, the first opponent in the 4 road trips is the Kings. The Kings, who have defeated the Rockets once this season, are gearing up to pack the Rockets once.

I don't know if it will be successful this time, but Adelman's team is now slowly on the right track. With Webber as the core and Divac, Williams and Peja as supporting roles, the team has already been able to compete in the Western Conference. The strong are occupying a place in the atmosphere.

At this time, before facing the Rockets, Adelman had carefully studied the videos of the Rockets losing several games, looking for ways to defeat their opponents.

The day before facing the Rockets, Adelman gave the Kings players a pregame meeting.

After the meeting started, Adelman was the first to speak, and Odelman said: "Guys, you know who our next opponent is."

The Kings players nodded, and Adelman continued: "The Rockets, the most powerful team in the league right now, can be said to be under the rule of the Rockets. That's all I can say now. The Rockets are very powerful now. They are so powerful. They can even be compared with the Celtics in the 60s. There is no doubt that they are strong, but they can also be defeated. We have defeated them once. I want to beat them once. There's a chance to beat them a second time, so they're also beatable."

At this time, the Kings players were constantly whispering in the meeting room. Looking at the Kings players who were discussing, Adelman continued: "To beat them, we must understand them. First, let's take a look at the main lineup of the Rockets. They The current main lineup is Big Ben, Garnett, Horry, Ray Allen and Bodi Loga. Now I ask you a question, what do you think are the characteristics of the Rockets' main lineup."

The Kings players were discussing in a low voice below, and finally Webber stood up and said on behalf of everyone: "Coach, we all think that the defense of the Rockets' main lineup is really good, and we really didn't find anything else."

After hearing this, Adelman signaled Webb to sit down with satisfaction, and Adelman continued: "Yes, the current main lineup of the Rockets is really very strong, especially in terms of defense. Next, let's analyze one by one, Let’s talk about Big Ben first. This person has excellent jumping and extremely strong upper body strength. Coupled with the influence of Olajuwon, he has developed very superb footwork. In this way, the Rockets have a powerful inside protector. The protection of the backboard and the lethality of the players attacking the inside are huge, but I am very fortunate that once this kid's offensive ability leaves the basket, his power will be reduced by 80%. I am now I think, if this kid has a precise mid-range shot, who can defend him? This is really good news for us, so when I play tomorrow, I ask this kid to be squeezed out of me Under the basket, squeeze out his threat zone, if Da Ben suddenly hits a high percentage of mid-range shots tomorrow, then we can only raise our hands and surrender, but the chance of such a thing is really too small."

The king burst into laughter.

Adelman raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he spread his hands and listened to him continue: "Now let's talk about Garnett. Well, I really don't know how to deal with this kid. Do you have any good methods?"

Everyone in the king was in awe for a while, and no one expressed their opinion on this issue, because everyone knew that Garnett was already a figure who had no solution in the insiders of the league.

Adelman said with a smile: "Okay, we can only do our best to suppress this person. It is very difficult to prevent him. Let's not talk about him, let's continue to talk about the next character, Horry Do everyone in Horry think this person is difficult to deal with?"

Everyone in the king nodded, and Adelman continued: "It is difficult to deal with, and I know it is difficult to deal with. This person is already the defensive gate of the Rockets' outside line. Don't look at this person's offensive ability. The ability to grasp the key ball at critical moments, in the league, you can enter the top three, don't be convinced, it is not his stage yet, when it comes to the playoffs, that is his stage. So, for this Human defense, you must not relax, this is a character who can send you to hell if you give him a little space, you have to kill him like a vicious dog, do you know?"

The king and the others recalled Huo Li's past achievements, put dignity on their faces, and nodded vigorously.

Adelman wrote a huge name on the playing board and said to the Kings players: "You all know him."

The Kings players were startled. Does this person hold such an important position in Adelman's heart? Everyone was thinking silently in their hearts.

Adelman continued: "You are right. This person is Ray Allen. Everyone thinks that he is just a pitcher. It's no big deal. Just keep a close eye on him. Remember, whoever has such a If you think about it, then the day when he will be completely blown by this person will not be far away. Ray Allen is definitely not as simple as a pitcher for the Rockets. In my opinion, he is the most threatening figure on the field for the Rockets at this stage. Ray Allen Is the kind of hard-edged player, he can open a blood hole in your body when you least pay attention, and then you will bleed to death. He is a natural killer, as long as he is on the court, then he He is the most threatening player on the field, he is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, when you are most deadly, he will give you the most fatal blow, so the outside players must not give this kid a chance. Are you sure."

The king's players all signaled that they understood. Seeing the strength of the king's players now, Adelman continued: "The last one is Divac and Peja's teammate Bodi Loga. How about you two? Do your teammates have anything to say?"

Divac and Peja shook their heads hastily, and then motioned for Adelman to continue talking. Adelman said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I can continue talking, hehe, Bodi Loga is the brain of the Rockets , Almost all of the Rockets' offenses are launched from him. I don't need to say more about his importance. Let me stare at him. This is the only thing you have to do. As long as Ray Allen and Bodi Loga If these two points are blocked, then the Rockets will lose their two sharpest knives, and our chances of victory will increase a lot, and the Rockets' substitute players are also quite capable. I have a piece of information here for you guys Go back and have a good look, study their substitute players well, as long as everyone plays the game with all their heart, I believe the Rockets are not that difficult to deal with."

After finishing speaking, Adelman sent all the information in his hand, and the players of the Kings couldn't wait to read it, and then combined their own experience and lessons with their teammates to discuss intensely here.

On January 1999, 1, the Rockets visited Sacramento and started the first game of their consecutive road trip. After the game started, the Rockets found themselves in the quagmire of today's game. A huge net was drawn, a net big enough to tie a rocket.

When Weber was facing Garnett, he was always recalling Adelman's advice to himself, that is, to restrain Garnett as much as possible and not try to prevent the opponent, that is possible.

Because as one of the unsolvable players in the league in the future, Garnett has initially realized this state.However, Weber's defense was very successful today. Garnett was not allowed to turn around easily. When Weber was attacking, he tried to lean on Garnett's body as much as possible, and the opponent fouled as early as possible, so that Garnett shortened his presence on the court. on time.

When the first quarter ended, the king's strategy succeeded. The king actually opened up the scores of the two sides by 7 points at the end of the first quarter, which rarely appeared in previous games.

Lao Tang looked at the situation on the court, and his brows were already furrowed. He could see that the current staffing of the Rockets had been thoroughly researched. Facing the King's targeted defense, today's Rockets players All lost their fighting power.

The assistant coach Brooks on the sidelines also frowned and said: "Teacher, the current situation is very bad. According to my observation, the current Kings have studied the Rockets very thoroughly. Our main players are in their Under the restriction, the Rockets were suppressed as a whole."

Lao Tang looked at the players on the sidelines, his face changed again and again, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that there is no strange move, it can't be done, the main players in the second quarter except De Yang, all come down, Dayao, Hakeem, Matt, Sboga, the four of you come on the field, give me the main attack on the opponent's inside line, and let me blow up their inside line. I don't believe that they can withstand the impact of the two major centers on the inside line. "

After the start of the second quarter, the Rockets' up-and-down tactics achieved some success. Matt Harprin and Saulius were like two mixers, turning the King's outside line upside down. It's unspeakable, especially Matt Harprin, a famous villain in later generations, has now shown his edge, and the inside of the Rockets is even more frightening. An AK-47 came over and stumped these two people, and the complementarity between the two made the king's inside line a scorched earth.

Divac panted and said to Weber: "Chris, I need help. Hakeem and that Chinese kid are very difficult to deal with. I need you to lure one away."

Weber smiled bitterly and said, "Man, who do you think I'm going to deal with? Dealing with Dameng, even if Dameng is old, it's still very easy to deal with at the basket. I think I will go crazy when dealing with the Chinese kid. As long as he doesn't listen Turnaround jumper, then I will die miserable, now the only thing we can do is to strengthen the offense."

As Weber said, Divac is not a fool, and Adelman is a strong man. After the King's counterattack began, the King continued to maintain the advantage in the score.

Facing Webber's various offensive methods, the Rockets have no good defensive methods inside. Even if Olajuwon personally marks, there are not many good ways. Weber's light footsteps are no longer Olajuwon. Zhu Wang's clumsy footsteps can keep up.

By the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides remained at around 7 points, and the Rockets were ready to continue to widen the score between the two sides.

During the intermission, Lao Tang said to the Rockets players very seriously: "The second half of the game is the most critical time. In the third quarter, Dayao continued to start. I need a height to suppress the King's inside line. Kevin, you When you play after work, your role is to deal with Webber, and I think you will do a good job." Garnett nodded, and Lao Tang continued: "Robert, Sboga, Dejan, the three of you will play the backcourt in the second half. My role is to defend, defend, and then defend. Ray, you have to be ready at all times. I will need your three-pointer, but you have to understand that maybe you will have to make a lore and make the last shot. I hope You have to keep a good touch, I always feel that in this game, we have to play until the last second to decide the winner."

Lao Tang’s intuition was correct. After the game started after work, the Rockets and the Kings joined forces to defend. The Rockets’ Garnett, Horry, and Saulius blocked it like three big walls. The king's offense was overwhelmed, and Dayao's threat in the interior never dared to let the king take it lightly in the interior. The two sides teamed up to score 31 points in the entire third quarter, which shows the strong defense of both sides.

By the time of the third quarter, the Rockets managed to catch up with the score of the two sides by one point, and the score gap between the two sides was still 6 points.

During the interval between the games, both sides waited breathlessly for their respective coaches to explain the tactics of the last quarter. Before going on the field, Adelman said to his players: "Everyone should know that the game is no longer easy. Now the competition between the two sides is about the will and quality of the two sides, now it is the time for the two sides to see who can grit their teeth and persist until the end, and now it is to see who can stand up."

The king's players all gasped for breath, and then nodded heavily. Everyone knew that it was the last moment, and Weber roared in a low voice: "Guys, the game is already at such a time, and I don't want to What are you talking about, it's the last moment, everyone held on, won the game, I invite everyone to drink."

The Kings players made a promise.

The game in the fourth quarter was still so anxious. Both sides were gritting their teeth and persevering. It depended on who could make it to the end. With 2 minutes left, Lao Tang, who was on the sidelines, looked at the situation. He beckoned Ray Allen, who had been resting on the sidelines for half the time, and said in a low voice, "Shoot them to death, go, Ray."

However, Lao Tang's last wish came true. Ray Allen's two shots were all stopped by the King's players, because they always remembered Adelman's words, the person who could make blood holes in them at the last moment , was firmly suppressed by them.

At 92:86, the Kings firmly defended the last 6 points. The Kings once again won a victory over the Rockets, and the Rockets ushered in a two-game losing streak.

　Keep asking, thank you from the heavens.
