I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 169 Glass Man? (seeking collection recommendation)

At [-]:[-] p.m., players from the two teams entered the arena one by one, and the Rockets created a grand welcome ceremony for Grant Hill.

After all the Rockets' Jordan and other four starters entered the court, Grant Hill entered the court at the end. At that moment, the Rockets fans gave him the most solemn cheers, and the boos were loud. Grant Hill's eardrums were trembling.

He really can't imagine that he will be treated so favorably in the Rockets. You must know that he has not participated in a game for a season.

This kind of courtesy is something he didn't get in the Magic.

The generals of the Kings were watching silently. They could understand why Grant Hill was crying. This was the most authentic reaction of a veteran to gain recognition.

After a brief video introduction, Grant Hill was sent to the court by coach Tomjanovich. Today he will be the starting member of the Rockets, and this is the greatest trust that the Rockets have given him.

At the beginning of the game, the referee threw the basketball into the air, and Olajuwon and Divac jumped up at the same time. Today's Olajuwon is particularly motivated, and it seems that his bounce is better than usual.

Before Divac touched the basketball, Olajuwon's fingertips touched the edge of the basketball. He pushed slightly, and the basketball was pushed to the backcourt by him. Jordan grabbed the basketball and dribbled two steps forward and handed it directly to the Grant Hill, and signaled Hill to make the first attack.

The former head star of the Magic has experienced ups and downs in life, from the rising successor of Jordan, a highly anticipated superstar, to being injured and thrown out of the team like a hot potato by the Magic, and then to the Rockets The team went to the hospital to recuperate without a game, and he felt that if he didn't perform well, he would be sorry for the appreciation of President Su.

Grant Hill is very excited today, but his pressure is even greater. Under the expectations of all Rockets fans, if he can't perform as he should, he will disappoint these lovely fans.

But Grant Hill has worked hard in the NBA for several years. How much criticism he received as Jordan's successor in those years, and how many seniors wanted to bully him. He has not become one of the superstars in the NBA. How can he be under a little pressure now? to knock down.

But as soon as he rushed into the three-point line, a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes.

Chris Webber, the superstar player of his time, actually switched to his side.

But Grant Hill didn't hesitate. He didn't stop the ball. This was his first shot back in the NBA. He was confident that he could do it, no matter who was defending in front of him. This was his confidence.

Grant Hill moved quickly against Chris Weber's body. He used his right arm to push the distance away from Weber. This action made Weber unable to use his strength. Even though he was stronger than Grant Hill, he was still blocked. Hill makes room for some impact.

But Webb didn't give up. He moved sideways quickly and blocked Grant Hill's breakthrough again in front of the paint area.

With such fast pace, Grant Hill did not expect Webber to have such a strong defensive ability, but he is no longer the successor of Jordan in the past, but was ridiculed by the media as a "glass man".

After the serious injury, he no longer has the peak speed of the peak season, but he still retains the peak basketball skills, which will be his future support in the NBA.

The moment he touched Chris Weber, he suddenly turned backwards, leaning on Weber's body to accelerate and turn to the other side, as if he wanted to break through in another direction.

Hill did not become a glass player who was afraid of confrontation as the media thought. He was able to confront the league's hottest insiders. Although he was covered with injuries, he did not give up his favorite basketball. He I hope that my strength can help these teammates.

Seeing that Hill had accelerated his breakthrough, Weber didn't hesitate, and immediately backed up. He needed to back up a certain distance to get in front of Grant Hill first.

But at the same time that Webb was retreating, Grant Hill's sprinting figure stopped abruptly. Instead of sprinting forward, he took half a step backwards and jumped up on the edge of the paint.

Although he didn't jump high, this distance was enough for him to throw the basketball safely and smoothly.

The other players of the Kings trusted Chris Webber very much. They never thought that Webber would not be able to defend a seriously injured Grant Hill, so after Grant Hill shook Webber away, no other player of the Kings had Time to help defend, I can only watch Hill throw the basketball and successfully hit the shot.

The fans off the field cheered loudly. This goal at least shows that Grant Hill's basketball skills have not been completely lost due to serious injuries. Isn't this the best news!
The next few offensive and defensive teams played inextricably. The Kings are not a weak team that is completely helpless. They also have their own pride. Although Weber failed to defend Hill's goal in the first round, but in the next few rounds In the second offense and defense, he also did everything a team leader can do.

Under his leadership, although the Kings fell behind by 2 points, the game was not overwhelmed, and the morale of their team was good.

Grant Hill, who has just turned 30, no longer has the fast footsteps of the wind. He dribbles very slowly, and he is not in a hurry to break through to find opportunities. Instead, he directs his teammates to move.

Although Su Yi played point guard in this game, he had no intention of sticking to the ball at all. He always threw the basketball to Grant Hill the first moment he received it.

This humility moved Hill very much. In his heart, even when he was in the Magic, McGrady had never been as humble as him.

Of course, McGrady should be quite depressed today, because he has returned to the position of the sixth man. If you say that he is an All-Star player, he has fallen to this point, but think about it. This is for his former teammate Grant Hill. A way to celebrate his return, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Although the speed is slower than before, Grant Hill's dribbling rhythm has been changing, making Peja, who is facing him, unable to grasp the law to intercept.

At this time, Su Yi suddenly slipped past the baseline, and Mike Bibby behind him was hotly chasing him. Grant Hill's basketball suddenly disappeared from his hands, just in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the basketball had already quickly flew towards the bottom line, and there was no one there. When there was no time left, Su Yi rushed over quickly, and at the moment the basketball flew out of the bottom line, he scooped the ball into his arms.

This is a very sudden and fast pass, and this kind of pass is very dangerous, if Su Yi's reaction is slower, he will miss the ball.

But as long as he can catch the ball, the Kings can't defend the ball. Naturally, Su Yi won't miss such an easy ball.

Su Yi leaned back against Mike Bibby's body so that he had enough space for a layup. With a flick of his wrist, he threw the ball towards the basket with a light pick.

It seems that Su Yi and Olajuwon haven't practiced for so long in vain. They are very proficient in picking the basket. The basketball fell into the net after a slight bump on the hoop. Su Yi made his first throw of the day. ball.

Although Su Yi's desire to attack is not high today, and he only scored 2 points until now, the fans still gave him applause. In their eyes, Su Yi is the player who can create miracles for them.
