057 old friend
Houston's fan culture is very Buddhist. They come late and leave early, and season ticket holders are often absent. No matter how hot the Rockets' ticket sales are, their home atmosphere will be awkward.
But something was different today. The Buddhist-minded Houston fans showed some enthusiasm that they had not shown for a long time.
After all, they all said it by word of mouth, and today the classic scene of Olajuwon training the Sharks will be staged again.
Before the game started, 90% of the spectators were already in the stadium, and only about 10% of the seats were empty. For Houstonians, this was already a huge shame.
In such a competition that attracts the world's attention, big stars with dignity must show their graceful side.
Shark O'Neal walked up to Hakeem Olajuwon and the two put their arms around each other's shoulders and chatted. This set of American politeness was a necessary formality. Charles Barkley also chatted with Shaquille O'Neal for a few words, but
The two of them didn't seem to be interested in each other.
Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich also greeted Delmar Harris. The pre-game greetings between the two teams seemed friendly, but everyone knew that there was a heart behind their fake smiles.
I wish I could tear my opponent's heart to pieces.
And Wang Dazhi also had to chat a few words with his old friend Derek Fisher, so that rookies like them would not be so embarrassed in this session.
Wang Dazhi: "Brother, it's okay! Now they are all the team's main force!"
Due to the departure of Sam Cassell, the Houston Rockets' defense line is very empty, which also provides rookie Derek Fisher with a large number of opportunities.
As a point guard, playing with Hakeem Olajuwon and Charles Barkley was simply relaxing and enjoyable. Derek Fisher, with his solid basic skills, immediately became the team's number one point guard.
Derek Fisher: “God closed a door for me, but opened a window for me!
Now it seems that I am quite lucky not to be selected by the Lakers. You have also performed well recently. I am really happy for you!
Your hairstyle is so cool! DZ, it’s really yours!”
It was obvious that there was only a two-way relationship, but the two men looked very much like veterans who were about to retire. What they were talking about here did not seem to be about the future, but like the glorious years in the past.
The coaches of the two teams made the final mobilization of their players, and the battle was about to begin!
The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers for this game is Shaquille O'Neal, Elden Campbell, Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, and Nick Van Exel.
For the Houston Rockets, Olajuwon and Charles Barkley partnered on the inside, and Clyde Drexler, Matt Maloney, and Derek Fisher served on the outside.
The referee blows the whistle! The game begins!
Dream Olajuwon beat Shark O'Neal to win the jump ball!
The Rockets' tactics this season are very clear, that is, Barkley will do it, and Barkley will do it after his dream!
Such luxurious twin towers are the nightmare of every team in the league. Even a solid insider like Elden Campbell can only get slapped when facing the arrogant flying pig Barkley!
On the first kick of the game, the other four members of the Houston Rockets opened up the right half for Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley attacked with his back. The flying pig in the air didn't even take off, and his big butt only arched twice (??
?????) pushed Elden Campbell to the basket in the next moment and hit two points!
If Olajuwon’s back-up attack is an intoxicating French meal, then Charles Barkley’s back-up attack is a heavy metal BBQ of death!
Rockets fans who are accustomed to eating exquisite food will feel particularly fresh when eating this wild barbecue. The cheers given by the Houstonians to this big-name new player are no less than the dream of bringing them two championship trophies.
Although Shaq O'Neal really wanted to make up defense, coach Delmar Harris' repeated emphasis before the game still made Shaq resist the urge.
Shaquille O'Neal knows that with Charles Barkley's personal ability, if he crosses the entire three-second zone to help defend, then Charles Barkley will definitely use a beautiful inside pass to help the big dream Olaju
Wang gave a wonderful assist.
And Da Meng will also use more powerful dunks to shock the Lakers. In this comparison, Charles Barkley's two points are better than Hakeem Olajuwon's dunk and Charles Barkley's one assist.
Be strong.
In this game, the Lakers also had a high degree of unified thinking, that is, they will not double-team even if they are killed!
If you can't defend, you have to score. Elden Campbell set up a screen for Nick Van Exel. Derek Fisher was blocked. Charles Barkley extended out to switch defense. Nick Van Exel
Er's breakthrough attracted a double-team from Matt Maloney, and Nick Van Exel quickly passed the ball to Eddie Jones who was ambushing outside the three-point line!
Matt Maloney quickly found his defender. As soon as Eddie Jones raised his head, he looked at the basket and dazzled his opponent. After adjusting one step, he made a jumper and made a three-pointer, making a solid hit!
When the Houston Rockets serve, the glider Drexler would sometimes dribble across half court in the past, but from the first second of the game, Kobe was like a ghost possessing him. Kobe, who was serving as a starter for the first time,
You must complete the tasks assigned to you by coach Delma Harris to the letter.
The most difficult thing about the Big Three teams is that they have a high fault tolerance rate and many people who can attack. Drexler, the glider stuck with dog skin plaster, is not in a hurry to attack personally, because Charles Barkley will complete the scoring.
very good.
This time, Charles Barkley faced the frame to attack, started with a big step, and then turned around with his huge hips. Eldon Campbell, who was all over the place, was shocked and lost his center of gravity. He put the basket lightly under the basket and the Rockets scored two more points!
Eddie Jones scored a three-pointer, and the Los Angeles Lakers were not in a hurry to let Shaq O'Neal attack the big dream Olajuwon.
Elden Campbell once again screened, this time Derek Fisher's light bypass made the screen ineffective, and Kobe was playing a cat and mouse game with Drexler, the glider. Kobe played the mouse at the beginning.
That pissed off Team Rocket's gliding cat.
Kobe, who has been running without the ball, makes Drexler extremely annoyed. The star guard who has won a championship has never seen a player like Kobe. He feels that Kobe is not here to play basketball, but more.
Chapter completed!
