Head coach Brown was quite satisfied with Olajuwon's prompt apology. This is indeed the style a leading star should have, but Barkley's mouth was so foul that it made people feel a little disgusting.

For the next game, head coach Brown knows that there is no need for everyone to have insignificant conflicts, and everything can be settled on the court.

"Olajuwon, take care of your teammates. I don't want anything bad to happen before the game. You know our team is all young people and they are all quite impulsive."

Olajuwon nodded and took Barkley away.

After seeing Barkley's provocation, Zhao Qiang originally wanted to activate the second set of tactics arranged by Brown's head coach. Although that set of tactics was more dangerous, it was just enough to vent everyone's anger.

However, the emergence of Olajuwon prevented this game from going to extremes, so Zhao Qiang put aside the second set of tactics in his heart, and then used the first set of tactics.

Just use their youth and energy to bring down the Rockets.

Back on the court, Zhao Qiang said to Coach Brown: "Coach, since we are going to use the first set, I think we should add air cuts to it, so that we can better consume the opponent's physical strength."

Coach Brown thought for a while. He had seen Zhao Qiang, Big Ben and Iverson practice this tactic. It is indeed fast and consumes a lot of energy, and can mobilize the opponent.

Coach Brown nodded, "Okay, you can adjust the tactics on the court temporarily. I believe you have the ability, and the players will obey your arrangements. I allow it."

Zhao Qiang smiled. As long as he is allowed to adjust tactics at will on the court, winning this game today should not be a problem.

To put it bluntly, such a competition is just to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.

There is no way, there are not too many tactics that the team can use now, after all, not every player is omnipotent.

The game started soon, but the atmosphere of both teams was a bit tense. Although the Rockets were pressed by Barkley, the atmosphere was still very tense.

The 76ers have already been simmering with enthusiasm. Barkley is indeed an asshole for treating his head coach so unscrupulously.

No matter what, everyone must teach him a lesson on the court.

Of course, the most important thing is Ben, because he is facing off against Barkley.

Zhao Qiang had explained to Ben before the game, "You are definitely not as good as Barkley in terms of experience, so I need you to always be around him, and don't let him pass easily, leaving him unable to operate after receiving the ball."

There is no space, let alone grabbing rebounds easily."

There's nothing we can do about it. Ben's experience and Barkley's experience are quite different.

If that's the case, then it's better to let Ben keep going. Whether he catches the ball or not, you have to keep him entangled. If he wants to shoot without taking off, then let him shoot. Anyway, you have to keep him entangled.

, just make him feel uncomfortable.

As for Olajuwon, to be honest, the Philadelphia 76ers don't have any good restrictions. Mutombo is indeed a bit different from Olajuwon.

So we can only do our best and rely on their outside scoring to stabilize the situation, otherwise they will definitely be defeated by the Rockets and Olajuwon.

As for Drexler, Zhao Qiang decided to defend himself. At least he could limit the opponent's one point and Barkley to a 55-open situation, and then Olajuwon let him score.

After all, his physical strength cannot last long, and he cannot stay on the court for a long time like Zhao Qiang and Da Ben.

That is, youth is capital.

The game is about to start, and the 76ers' starting lineup has not changed. The Rockets' starting lineup is point guard Kenny Smith, shooting guard Mario Alley, small forward Clyde Drexler, and power forward Char Barkley.

, center Hajime Olajuwon.

The centers of both sides came to the midline for a jump ball. Olajuwon took the lead in passing the ball to Smith, and the Rockets attacked first.

This game is also a big test for the Philadelphia 76ers. You must know that the Rockets were the championship last season.

But it can be seen from this season that the biggest shortcoming of their lineup is that the team's lineup is seriously aging.

This not only affects the players' condition, but also prevents them from persisting for too long in the regular season. Although they selected two rookies this season, it is obvious that these two rookies are still unable to carry the Rockets' banner.

To put it bluntly, the Rockets are now a team resting on their laurels, even with the addition of Barkley.

As soon as Smith dribbled the ball past half court, Iverson came over to defend him. He didn't expect that it would be the opponent's No. 2 guarding him. He really didn't take him seriously.

He observed the situation on the court and found that the opponent's No. 1 was guarding Drexler.

Are gliders so defensive?

Smith immediately passed the ball to Drexler at a 45-degree angle.

Unfortunately, his passing movement had already been seen through by Zhao Qiang. The moment Smith passed the ball, Zhao Qiang immediately started the basketball and passed it to the middle, but he had already intercepted it.

After the ball was intercepted, Zhao Qiang immediately launched a fast break. Smith and Avery reacted and immediately chased Zhao Qiang.

Although the two of them were very fast, Zhao Qiang came to the Rockets basket even faster, jumped high and dunked the basketball into the basket with one hand.

A small number of 76ers fans followed the team to the Toyota Center, and they came specifically to cheer for the team. Zhao Qiang's quick steal and dunk made them jump with excitement.

"Chongya, Zhao!"

"Give the people of Houston some color!"

"They are so careless about our team, then we will prove ourselves with our strength!"

"So what about last season's championship!"

Lao Lin also came to the Toyota Center to watch the game, but the ticket he bought was not very good and he sat among the Rockets fans.

When Zhao Qiang dunked the basketball into the basket, he stood up excitedly and waved.

As a result, he found that something was wrong with the situation around him. He was surrounded by Rockets fans, and they all looked at Lao Lin with unkind expressions.

Lao Lin was very embarrassed and scared, and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I came to the wrong person."

Lin knew how crazy the fans were, and he didn't want to be beaten up by the Houston fans because of this incident.

Lao Lin quickly sat down and lowered his head, but in his heart he was still cheering for Zhao Qiang. This is why our Dragon Country players are so good. So what if your Rockets were the championship last season? You can't stop it.
