Rebirth of My Rocket Dynasty

Chapter 56 The Trifecta Before Christmas
Before the end of Christmas, the Rockets still have three games, the Kings at home on December 12, the Spurs away on the 20st, and the Lakers at home on the 21rd.

Except that the Kings are not very strong, both the Spurs and the Lakers are strong teams.

When the Rockets played against the Spurs at home, the Rockets and the Spurs fought inextricably and passionately.

It was only by relying on 4 three-pointers at the last minute that they defeated the Spurs.

The Lakers even gave the Rockets their second defeat of the season at their home court.

Encountering such a strong team before Christmas, the Rockets are also a little overwhelmed.

In the game against the Kings, the Rockets almost let the substitute players and young players play the whole game.

118:98, the Rockets' substitutes beat the Kings.

Garnett played 30 minutes and had 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Bodiroga recorded a triple-double with 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in 13 minutes.

Ray Allen played 35 minutes and scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

A style of play centered on three players is taking shape.

Add the inside full-time defender Ben Wallace, and the outside defender Saulius.

This kind of plastic surgery has become more and more complete, and even Ben Wallace, who has never been good at offense, can score wonderful goals with the assist of Bodi Roga.

The rest of the Rockets, Shandon Anderson, Malik Rose and Anthony Johnson also got a chance to play.

The Rockets' substitutes used a big victory to declare that the Rockets are not just Olajuwon and Drexler.

After defeating the Kings, the Rockets went to the Spurs' ATT Center Arena.

The Spurs launched a fierce attack amidst the cheers of the fans in the audience.

The combination of David Robinson, Tim Duncan and Barkley is still strong.

However, after experiencing the contest with the Spurs at home, the Rockets have found a way to deal with the Spurs.

Shandon Anderson, Saulius and Horry took turns defending Barkley.

These three people annoyed Barkley so much that Barkley had no way to organize the team's offense.

Popovich made a decisive change and handed the ball to Duncan.

Let Duncan organize the offense. This change made the Rockets very uncomfortable at first.

Watching Duncan use his height to tear the Rockets' defense with passes again and again.

Duncan has his own mind, which proves that he is not a brave man who can only fight inside, but also a wise man who can use his brain to command the team.

After seeing the Spurs' change of tactics, Lao Tang decisively strengthened the defense of other Spurs players, trying to cut off Duncan's pass to other players as much as possible.

After the Rockets changed their moves, the Spurs' offense was hit again.

Duncan, who cannot pass the ball effectively, can only play singles by himself. However, under the defense of Garnett, the success rate of the offense is not very high. The Rockets quickly led by 51 points at the end of the first half with 46:5 .

After an adjustment at halftime, the Spurs launched a counterattack at the beginning of the second half.

The inner twin towers are opened to provide a channel for the outside players to strengthen the ability of the outside to go inward.

After the two big men on the inside are separated, they can use their excellent shots to more effectively hit the opponent's basket.

For a while, the score was narrowed again.

The rhythm and atmosphere of the third quarter of the game between the two sides made all the fans and reporters present feel suffocated.

The powerful aura erupted by the double-serve team is even more astonishing.

The two sides are like two wild beasts from the wilderness biting each other.

If so, let all the media vote for the most depressing game of the week.

Then this game can definitely be No.1.

The third quarter of the game can already be called a melee field.

After all the players on both sides got the ball, they were definitely facing an opponent with red eyes.

Forging, forging, forging.

The baskets on both sides are like adding a cover.

Constantly rejecting opponents' goals.

Terrible defense, the defense of both sides has entered the playoffs and even the finals ahead of schedule.

When everyone was about to stop breathing, the third quarter was finally over.

69:66
The Spurs won back by 2 points in the third quarter.

Just after all the hearts were relieved, the fourth quarter of the game between the Spurs and the Rockets began.

Continuing the dignified atmosphere of the third quarter, the Rockets started a tenacious attack.

Take advantage of your tall backcourt players.

The Rockets guards hit the Spurs' inside again and again.

Like 10 years younger, Drexler threw himself into the Spurs' inside jungle with breakthroughs again and again.

Under the leadership of the explosive Drexler, the Rockets pulled the score away again and again when the Spurs were about to catch up.

In the fourth quarter, Drexler scored 16 points himself and sent off Duncan's six fouls.

After Duncan went off the field, the Spurs' inside line collapsed as if they had lost a gate.

After losing the height of the inside line, Dameng and Garnett completely changed the state of the inside line being evenly matched.

The Rockets played a 16:4 attack wave, which completely stabilized the situation on the field.

95:80
The Rockets were the basis for victory at the last moment.

After the game, Barkley said angrily that the Rockets were like the Bulls in 95, saying that his own championship dream had been delayed.

Everyone in the Rockets smiled slightly when they heard this statement. It was obviously a lie. Who would believe it.

The Rockets' last game before Christmas was against the Lakers at home.

After the Lakers defeated the Rockets at home, they achieved 4 wins and 1 loss.

The Sharks are still strong, Van Exel is also radiant, and 'Peter Pan' is also a strong attack to become the main offensive force of the Lakers.

But after the start of the game, the Rockets seemed to be on a stimulant.

The defenders are all incarnations of Jordan, breaking through, assisting, and scoring.

Even Mark Jackson, known for his speed, played a breakthrough in front of Van Exel.

With his own weight advantage, Van Exel didn't stop him.

The Rockets stumped the Lakers in the first quarter.

28:16, the Lakers trailed by 12 points.

The Sharks scored a poor 4 points.

This is why, the reason is very simple.

Because the boss of the Rockets spoke before the game, as long as they can win the last game before Christmas, all players are invited to have a top-notch Christmas dinner at their own homes. There are 3 world-class players in Tiger’s home. chef.

After hearing this, can the Rockets players not work hard?

Waves of offense flooded the Lakers like tides.

From the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers fell into a situation where the offense could not improve and the defense could not return.

The big shark met inside, the most powerful blocking, the bus and the big ben took turns to ravage the big shark.

The big shark in this game was pushed out of the danger zone again and again like an angry little daughter-in-law.

O'Neill is also wondering, how can this group of people still have so much energy after fighting the Spurs just now.

Did you use any banned drugs?

Kobe on the outside was defended by Drexler and Saulius in turn.

Drexler is relying on his own experience and mind to defend Kobe.

Then Saulius is defending Kobe with his tough attitude and belief of never giving up.

Those who joined the NBA in 96 are all afraid of others.

In this way, the Rockets, stimulated by a meal, completely ravaged the Lakers. (It seems that the Rockets players are all gluttons)
108:82
The Lakers were beaten to tears by the Rockets.

Not long after the Rockets slaughtered the Lakers, the votes for the new All-Star voting were announced.

Although Hardaway is injured at the point guard, his popularity for many years is unstoppable.

All the teams looked at the Rockets and Lakers in the West, and they were very envious of their results in the All-Star voting.

Everyone knows that the day of the rise of the West is coming.

Among them are the Rockets, Lakers and Spurs.

The age of youth has quietly arrived.
