Chapter 228 Take Down the Rocket
The Rockets head coach looked around the bench and found that there were simply no players who could be used.
At this time, he couldn't help but think that if the Rockets had signed this yellow-skinned player, then he would not be troubled by these things at this time.
Now we can only continue to play with this lineup. After checking by the team doctor, Olajuwon has no chance to play again in this game.
So we can only hope that the opponent's rookie just suddenly performed so well, and then the pick-and-roll tactics will be deployed here to liberate Drexler.
No way, now the Rockets have no way to score, and the point difference has been widened by the 76ers. In addition to Smith scoring a point, they also need a scoring point.
Barkley is no longer counting on it. The Rockets replaced the backup center. Basically, the two insiders of the 76ers didn't care much about him. They focused on Barkley.
If the backup center has a strong scoring ability, then he doesn't need to be a backup.
The head coach of the Rockets has only desires. This is the only way to solve the current situation.
Count on the soon-to-retire glider Drexler.
Drexel may still be able to play for a year or two. After winning the championship, his state declined too quickly.
At the end of the timeout, players from both sides returned to the court, and the Rockets Smith organized the offense.
Drexler, who had been guarded so hard before, started to run, and Zhao Qiang followed immediately, 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 couldn't defend it.
Drexler took the ball into the paint and immediately scored a jumper.
Zhao Qiang nodded. As expected of last season's championship, they are still of a good level. If they can do this, even simple fighters can't solve it.
But how long can Drexler's physical strength last, as long as his physical strength is exhausted, the Rockets will fall into offensive difficulties again.
Now it only needs to consume their physical strength infinitely. This tactic can also be called the old man tactic.
At the end of the first half, the Philadelphia 76ers led by 61 points 48-13.
In the locker room, Coach Brown was very affirmed by his performance in the first half.
"Very good, the boys performed very well in the first half, which also proves that our tactics have played a very good role. Zhao, your performance is still stable, and I also need you to maintain this 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 maintain the touch, then pass the ball more."
"Ben continues to maintain the state just now, puts out his best defense, and participates in the offensive end at any time."
"Others make their own job arrangements, understand?"
All the players answered in unison, "Understand the coach."
Inversely proportional to the atmosphere in the locker room of the 76ers, the atmosphere in the Rockets locker room is very low.
Everyone doesn't know why the Rockets played like this in the second game, 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. It's a very shameful thing to say. This is because the rookie team is different from the team they imagined, and it is also different from what they have encountered. The rookie team is different.
The head coach of the Rockets can only stabilize the momentum of the team.
"Don't think so much, play steadily and play at your true level, it's impossible for you to be inferior to a group of rookies."
Barkley wanted to complain, but he was really not as good as a group of rookies, and they were all blown up by these rookies on the offensive end.
Fortunately, they can still score. If it is difficult to score, the Rockets can hand in their guns and surrender.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Zhao Qiang made Iverson the main attack point, and Avery really couldn't defend Iverson.
Iverson rushed inside again and again, playing Avery with his nimble feet.
Iverson really dared to fight, which is also his confidence as a champion.
At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets were somewhat overwhelmed, because in addition to assisting his teammates, Zhao Qiang had been sniping outside the three-point line.
The difference is getting bigger and bigger.
The third quarter is over, and the Rockets have lost by 25 points.
Barkley asked angrily after the end of the game, "Should we still play, and should we chase points in the last quarter?"
The head coach of the Rockets sighed. They had already lost by 25 points, and there was no good way to solve the current situation. The glider could no longer move and had no energy.
Olajuwon really can't play anymore. The regular season is a long process. If Olajuwon's health is not well ensured, then the regular season will really be impossible to play.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Rockets head coach directly replaced all the substitutes and announced that he would give up the game.
The fans of the Rockets left the Toyota Center early after seeing such a scene. Why should they continue to watch such a game? It is really disgusting.
The remaining small part of the audience is 76ers fans, and these fans have already cheered in advance.
Lao Lin has endured the whole game, and now he can cheer for the 76ers unscrupulously.
Originally, he was too afraid of being beaten up. He couldn't just be beaten up by foreigners for nothing, right?
Now that the Rockets have given up resistance, the 76ers are naturally not aggressive anymore.
Coach Brown's replacement of the bench also means winning the game.
Zhao Qiang, Daben, and Iverson high-fived their teammates.
In these two games, the three of them have grown really fast.
Zhao Qiang is very stable, so stable that it makes people feel terrible, because as long as he has the ball, he will basically take into account all the mistakes on the court.
Daben, the defensive experience of these two games has grown rapidly, and he has also developed a certain offensive ability. This kind of offensive ability will have a strong impact on the opponent's inside line. Over time, he will definitely become an all-around inside line.
Iverson, who has a super talent, dares to fight, and now he is gradually imitating Zhao Qiang's calmness and diligently practicing his shooting percentage.
It can be said that the young people of the 76ers team are developing in a good direction. The successful victory of these two games also proves how terrifying the talents of these three young people are.
Of course, Brown's head coach also played a key role here, whether it was tactical formulation or stabilizing the team's morale. , are inseparable from the head coach. .
