The Rockets head coach looked around the bench and found that there were no available players at all.

At this time, he couldn't help but think that if the Rockets had signed this yellow-skinned player, then he would not be worried about these things at this time.

Now we can only continue to play with this lineup. After the team doctor checked, Olajuwon has no chance to play again in this game.

So we can only hope that the opponent's rookie will suddenly perform so well, and then the team will start to arrange pick-and-roll tactics to free Drexler.

No way, now the Rockets have no way to score, and the point difference is widened by the 76ers. In addition to Smith scoring a few points, they also need a scoring point.

Barkley was no longer expected. Basically, the two 76ers insiders didn't pay much attention to the substitute center that the Rockets replaced. They focused all their energy on Barkley.

If the substitute center has strong scoring ability, then he does not need to be a substitute.

The head coach of the Rockets only has desire. This is the only way to solve the current situation.

Drexler, the glider expected to retire soon.

Drexel can only play for a year or two. After winning the championship, his condition declined too quickly.

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court, and Smith of the Rockets organized the offense.

Drexler, who had been tightly guarded, started running. Zhao Qiang immediately followed him, but was blocked by Avery as soon as he followed.

Then Drexler ran out of the open space, and Smith immediately passed the ball. When Zhao Qiang was about to follow, he was already entangled and could not defend it.

Drexler took the ball and entered the paint area and immediately scored a jump shot.

Zhao Qiang nodded. As expected of last season's championship, they are quite capable. If they can do this and even simple warriors can't break it, the Rockets will stop playing this season and will completely become a bottom-tier team.

But how long can Drexler's physical strength last? As long as his physical strength is exhausted, the Rockets will be in offensive trouble again.

Now all they have to do is consume their physical strength indefinitely. This tactic can also be called the old man tactic.

At the end of the first half, the Philadelphia 76ers led 61 to 48, leading by 13 points.

In the locker room, Coach Brown was very positive about the performance in the first half.

"Very good. The boys performed very well in the first half. This also proves that our tactics worked very well. Zhao, your performance is still stable. I also need you to maintain such efficiency in the second half."

"Iverson, keep the touch. You only need to keep the touch to cause damage to the Rockets. If you can't keep the touch, pass the ball more."

"Ben continues to maintain the same state as before, the defense goes all out, and the offense is involved at any time."

"Others have made arrangements for their own duties, do you understand?"

All the players responded in unison, "Understood coach."

Inversely proportional to the atmosphere in the 76ers locker room, the atmosphere in the Rockets locker room is very low.

No one knows why the Rockets played like this in Game 2, and the doctor also said that if Olajuwon wants to play in the next game, he should not play in the second half.

But if they don't play in the second half, they will lose to a rookie team, which is a very shameful thing to say. This is a rookie team that is different from the team they imagined and what they have encountered.

The rookie team is different.

The Rockets' head coach can only stabilize the team's momentum.

"Don't think so much, work steadily and show your true level. You can't be inferior to a group of rookies, right?"

Barkley wanted to complain, but he was really not as good as a group of rookies, and he was defeated by these rookies on the offensive end.

But fortunately, they can still score here. If it is difficult to score, the Rockets can surrender.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Zhao Qiang let Iverson be the main point of attack, and Ailey really couldn't defend Iverson.

Iverson rushed into the paint over and over again, his nimble steps playing like a game with Avery.

Iverson really dares to play, which is also his confidence as a No. 1 pick.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were somewhat defeated, because in addition to assisting his teammates, Zhao Qiang kept shooting cold arrows from outside the three-point line.

The point difference is getting wider and wider.

The third quarter is over and the Rockets have lost by 25 points.

Barkley angrily asked after the game, "Do we still want to play? Do we want to chase points in the last quarter?"

The head coach of the Rockets sighed. They had already lost by 25 points. There was no good way to solve the current situation. The glider could no longer move and was running out of energy.

Olajuwon really can't play anymore. The regular season is a long process. If Olajuwon's health is not ensured, then the rest of the regular season will really be impossible.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets head coach directly replaced all substitutes and announced that he would give up the game.

Rockets fans saw such a scene and left the Toyota Center early. Why do they need to continue watching such a game? It is really disgusting.

The remaining small number of spectators were 76ers fans, and these fans had already cheered in advance.

Lao Lin has endured it for a whole game, and now he can cheer for the 76ers unscrupulously.

Originally, he was too afraid of being beaten. He couldn't let a foreigner beat him up just for cheering, right?

Now that the Rockets have given up resistance, the 76ers naturally can no longer be aggressive.

Head coach Brown replaced the substitute lineup which also meant that he won the game.

Zhao Qiang, Ben, and Iverson came off the court and high-fived their teammates.

In these two games, the three of them have grown really quickly.

Zhao Qiang is very stable, so stable that it makes people feel scary, because as soon as he gets the ball, he will basically take into account all the mistakes on the court.

Ben, his defensive experience has grown rapidly in these two games, and he has also developed a certain offensive ability. Such offensive ability will have a strong impact on the opponent's inside line. In time, he will definitely become an all-around inside line.

Iverson, with his super talent, was always daring to fight and fight hard. Now he is gradually learning from Zhao Qiang's calmness and diligently practicing his shooting percentage.

It can be said that the young people on the 76ers team are developing in a good direction. The successful victory of these two games further proves how terrifying the talents of these three young people are.
