Chapter 240 The Return of the King

During the intermission, DeWeese first started thinking about finding a substitute for O'Neal.

In the first two seasons, O'Neal only missed less than 5 games in total, but this season so far, O'Neal has missed 5 games.

DeWeese knew it was a consequence of O'Neal's weight gain.

Although O'Neal's physical fitness is at the historical level, the weight that has been gaining still puts a lot of burden on his body.

In order not to be directly taken away by the Rockets in the first half, Davis remained on the court in the second quarter.

Coach Lao Tang put Olajuwon off the court to rest for a while with peace of mind. The team's excellent performance in the first quarter gave him confidence.

After the baptism of eight top games in the system space, although Davis's ability value has only increased a little, his massive game experience has made him more calm no matter what the situation is.

The first half of the second quarter became Davis' performance time.

When O'Neal is on the court, Davis prefers to hand over the offense to O'Neal, and he helps O'Neal as a partial support role.

But after O'Neal came off the court, facing Olajuwon, DeWeese's offense was greatly hindered. He didn't dare to make too many breakthroughs, and the Rockets restricted his shooting very severely.

Now, here's your chance.

The Rockets only replaced Olajuwon, and Drexler and Kenny Smith remained on the court.

But facing the young man who was holding the ball across from him, Kenny Smith didn't know what was going on and panicked.

Davis unhurriedly crossed his hands and dribbled, looking for Smith's flaws.

Then he made a big change of direction, and Kenny Smith moved laterally hard to block DeWeese's drive.

DeWeese directly pulled the ball back with his left hand and returned the ball to his right hand from behind.

Faced with the choice of left or right twice in an instant, Kenny Smith is like a Spartan, and Davis's dribbling frequency is very fast.

Just when Kenny Smith was still looking for the real breakthrough direction of DeWeese, DeWeese joined the ball with both hands and made a jumper.

Go in!

Davis waved his hands to accept the cheers from the audience.

Kenny Smith tried to play an answer-ball, but DeWeese's current defensive strength against him is still relatively simple.

After all, he has been taught by McGrady, Stockton, Maravich, Hardaway and many other big guys one by one, and now he is facing a little Kenny Smith.

DeWeese said, you should go to explain it earlier, or there is more suitable for you.

Kenny Smith's attack was finally abandoned by Davis, who could only pass the ball to Drexler who was supporting him.

Drexler caught the ball and swung Horry away with one stride.

Although he is 32 years old, he can still vaguely see the shadow of the frightening "glider" back then.

Facing the inside of the Magic team without O'Neal, Drexler did not hesitate at all. He took a big step into the free throw line and jumped up high.

Marks was firmly blocked by the Rockets' backup center, and he could only watch as Drexler smashed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk.

But Drexler's performance can't change the fact that Smith was blown up by Davis.

In the next attack, DeWeese, without the biggest threat inside, once again suddenly attacked poor Smith.

Why do you say poor?
Smith, who was swayed by Davis with his legs crossed, almost didn't do a split, could only sit on the ground and watch Davis and Max perform an alley-oop cooperation.

Now DeWeese is more and more like to go to the inside and open the other players.

For nothing else, it's over when it's cool. . .

Although Max now relies on Davis to feed the cake into his mouth for most of his points, his performance after the lob is still remarkable. . .

He hammered his chest frantically, just like the gorilla in New York. . .

This also caused another cheer from the fans.

Coach Lao Tang on the sidelines frowned.

He found that the Magic team, which was under pressure in the first quarter, had a feeling of momentum.

But looking at Olajuwon next to him, coach Lao Tang decided to wait a little longer.

On the next ball, instead of the poor Smith who had just been knocked down, DeWeese faced Drexler.

"If it was you three years ago, I might still be afraid, but it's not your age anymore."

Davis looked at Drexler whose hairline had receded to the center line, thinking silently in his heart.

He slammed the ball forward with his right hand, then pulled it back in an instant.

Sam Gold!

Drexler, who had rarely seen this move, made a complete misjudgment, and was no different from Smith, and was passed by Davis again.

After dribbling the ball behind the opponent's defensive player, Davis made a light pick and put the ball into the basket.

Seeing that the lead in the first quarter was about to be regained, coach Lao Tang replaced Olajuwon and Drexler during the official timeout.

Obviously, Drexler was a little bit hit by Davis's ball, and his performance in the first two minutes was very poor.

Olajuwon's appearance immediately stabilized the situation.

DeWeese wants to use the state just now to hit another one on Olajuwon's head.

But it was obvious that he was thinking too much. . .

He literally twisted his body into a twist when laying up, and the range of the pull bar was also very large.

However, Olajuwon still pressed his shot to the backboard.

After landing, Davis just shook his head in frustration, and then quickly ran to the backcourt.

Facing Olajuwon, it is impossible not to get hated. Olajuwon once again used his personal performance to tell everyone this irrefutable truth.

Rodman wanted to defend Max, but Olajuwon seemed to have eyes behind his back, and gave the ball directly to Pete, who was in the air. Pete caught the ball with both hands and made a powerful dunk to end the offense.

After playing, Olajuwon didn't even score, but just one block and one assist stabilized the shrinking point difference.

Davis tried his best to get close to the score, but the Magic still had a little less offensive points on the court.

Olajuwon's footsteps at the basket directly swayed the young Max, who jumped up lightly and dunked the ball into the basket.

The point difference finally came to ten points.

"Are you going to overturn at home today?" Davis couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

At this moment, the fans on the sidelines cheered, and the cheers became louder and louder.

Davis looked to the sidelines in surprise and found that the fans stood up and applauded wildly in one direction.

That's the direction of the player tunnel.

"Could it be?"

Davis turned his attention to the player tunnel.

There, a huge figure came out step by step.
