Chapter 324 Sweeping and Not Wanting to Be Swept
On June 6, the Magic started their first game against the Rockets in the Finals.

It is the first time for the entire Magic team to participate in the finals, but this does not affect their confidence in winning the finals.

In the regular season and the Rockets' two duels, the Magic won all of them.

Although both games were won when DeWeese played almost all the time.

But does it matter?

The Magic started aggressively trying to control the rhythm of the game.

The Rockets' current point guard combination, to put it bluntly, can't compare to Davis alone.

Yep, that's Kenny Smith and Sam Cassell.

DeWeese remained stuck for 24 minutes, which was enough time for the Magic to win Game [-].

And Davis scored 24 points and 24 assists in this short 12 minutes, with a shooting rate as high as 70%.

It can be said that in these 24 minutes, he exploded the Rockets' perimeter.

The Magic didn't win much in their first home game, only [-] points, but the dominance they showed throughout the game made the Rockets have no hope of winning.

Olajuwon played this game very atypically.

他全场砍下了31分6篮板7助攻2抢断4盖帽的数据。

Why are there only 6 rebounds?
Drexler scored 23 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, more rebounds than Olajuwon.

奥尼尔26分16篮板9助攻的准三双，罗德曼9分16篮板3助攻，迪威斯24分6篮板12助攻。。。。

The Magic scored a full 57 rebounds, 41 more than the Rockets' 16 rebounds. . . . . .

After G1 of the finals, the entire league exclaimed that the Magic could play such a big advantage in the interior against the Rockets, a traditional interior team in the league.

"There is no suspense in this round of the series. Now it's just a question of whether Michael will lead the team to end the game in four games or five games. Another question is whether he can get the final FMVP if he only plays more than 20 minutes per game." Jordan said to Armstrong when he called Armstrong to discuss where to go for vacation.

Although the 3-year-old O'Neal was severely restricted when facing Olajuwon, what is different from his previous life is that O'Neal is now surrounded by Michael Dewes, Clay, Robert Horry, Rodman, rather than the immature Hardaway, Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott in his previous life.

Even in G2, Sam Cassell, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 31 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 3 steals while Davis was away, but the Magic still relied on their absolute hard power to win the game.

Unlike the previous life, O'Neal is no longer the only strong point of the Magic. Even though Olajuwon can prevent O'Neal from playing 100% of his strength, the Magic's comprehensive crushing of the Rockets in other positions can still allow them to easily suppress the Rockets on the scene.

June 6, Space City Houston.

"Today, I should be able to win this round of the series." O'Neal said to Davis pretending to be relaxed.

Davis looked at O'Neill's trembling hands.

"Even O'Neal, who created the Lakers dynasty with his own hands, will inevitably be nervous when he is about to win his first championship." Davis chuckled inwardly.

"Of course, Shaq, just wait until you win the championship trophy, just think about where to relax during your vacation."

O'Neill rubbed his hands excitedly after hearing DeWeese's assurance.

"I'm going to the beach in Miami this vacation and have a good summer."

Davis did not forget to tease O'Neill.

"Of course, if you don't want to be scolded by Mike in front of the whole team at the beginning of the season, I have nothing against you."

The big shark froze.

Seeing that his stamina had risen to 65, Davis felt that it would not be a big problem for him to play for 30 minutes.

Obviously, after the Rockets were beaten 3-0, the heart of the entire team has completely vented like a leaky ball.

But in the locker room, coach Lao Tang said that the Magic's game was not as simple as they imagined before the game.

"Are you going to watch Orlando sweep us to win the championship in front of so many home fans? No matter what, I can't accept that they can sweep us. We are the champions of the Western Conference!"

Coach Lao Tang was spitting and talking to his players in the middle of the locker room.

In order for the team to win a game at home, coach Lao Tang has put down his dignity as an old coach.

As for the members of the Rockets, under coach Lao Tang's chicken soup, their eyes were red, and they walked onto the court screaming.

Indeed, it is still very embarrassing to be swept away in one's own home court. . .

But in this game, DeWeese prepared to rest for a while in the second and third quarters, and stayed on the court completely in the first and fourth quarters.

He also wants to see if his physical fitness can support him to finish a game of moderate intensity.

But the intensity of this match was completely beyond his imagination.

The Rockets players fought for every ball and grabbed every ball as if they were desperate.

However, relying on their own hard power, the Magic still played a [-]-[-] with the Rockets.

Davis originally wanted to continue playing in the second quarter to help the team establish an advantage, but was stopped by Ana and D'Antoni.

The two people's thoughts are very unified, even if they lose this game, as long as Davis is fine, they will still win the final championship.

Davis could only watch his teammates fight the Rockets off the court.

By the fourth quarter, Ana and D'Antoni had no reason to stop DeWeese from playing.

Davis stepped onto the court aggressively.

Olajuwon performed extremely well in this game. He has scored a full 40 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. He completely suppressed O'Neal and also dominated the restricted areas of the two teams.

It was also under his outstanding performance that the Rockets were able to keep biting the score and even maintained a slight advantage over the Magic.

But after Davis came on the field, he relied on his absolute matchup advantage to help the team score consecutively.

Coach Lao Tang arranged a double-team for Davis in time, limiting his performance.

O'Neal, on the other hand, has long lost the ambition he had at the beginning of the game, and just wants to get some face back on Olajuwon.

D'Antoni and Ana have no good solutions off the court. Neither of them has played in the finals. At this time, everything can only rely on their own players on the court.
