Chapter 224 The Game Begins
Coach Brown is quite satisfied with Olajuwon's reminder and apology. This is indeed the demeanor that a leading star should have, but Barkley's mouth is so stinky that it makes people feel a little disgusting.
For the next game, Coach Brown knows that there is no need for everyone to have indifferent conflicts, and everything will be true 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 impulsive."
Olajuwon nodded and took Barkley away.
After seeing Barkley being so provocative, Zhao Qiang originally wanted to start 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 appearance of Olajuwon kept the game from going to extremes, so Zhao Qiang put down the second set of tactics in his heart, so he would use the first set of tactics.
Just use their youth and vitality to drag the Rockets down.
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 in it, so that it can better consume the opponent's physical strength."
Coach Brown thought about it. He had seen Zhao Qiang, Da Ben and Iverson practice this tactic. It is indeed fast and consumes a lot of energy, which can mobilize the opponent.
Coach Brown nodded, "Well, you can temporarily adjust the tactics on the court. I believe you have the ability, and the players will follow your arrangements. I allow it."
Zhao Qiang showed a smile. As long as he is allowed to freely adjust his tactics on the court, then winning the game today should not be a problem.
To put it bluntly, conducting such a game is just to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.
No way, there are not too many tactics for the team to use now, after all, not every player is all-round.
The game started quickly, but the atmosphere of both teams was a bit tense. Although the Rockets were under pressure from Barkley, the atmosphere was still very tense.
The 76ers have already held back their energy. Barkley is indeed a jerk for treating his head coach so recklessly.
In any case, everyone must teach him a lesson on the court.
Of course, the most important thing is Big Ben, because he and Barkley are facing each other.
Zhao Qiang confessed to Daben before the game, "Your experience is definitely not as good as Barkley, so I need you to stay by his side all the time, don't be easily passed by him, let him catch the ball without manipulation Space, not to mention grabbing rebounds easily."
This is also no way, the experience of Big Ben and Barkley's experience is really a bit different.
That being the case, it’s better to let Big Ben not stop, no matter whether he catches the ball or not, he must be tightly entangled. If he wants to shoot and does not take off, then let him shoot well, anyway, he will be entangled. , Let him feel all kinds of uncomfortable.
As for Olajuwon, to be honest, the Philadelphia 76ers don't have any good means of restriction. Compared with Olajuwon, Mutombo is indeed a bit too different.
So we can only do our best, relying on them to stabilize the situation by scoring from the outside, otherwise they will definitely be defeated by the Rockets and Olajuwon.
As for Drexler, Zhao Qiang decided to defend by himself, at least he could limit the opponent to a point where Big Ben and Barkley could reach a 55-[-] situation, and then Olajuwon let him score.
After all, his physical strength can't last too long. He can't stay on the court for a long time like Zhao Qiang and Da Ben.
It is youth is capital.
The game is about to start, the 76ers' starting lineup has not changed, the Rockets' starting lineup is point guard Kenny Smith, shooting guard Mario Alley, small forward Clyde Drexler, power forward Charl Barkley , center Hakeem Olajuwon.
The centers of both sides came to the center line for a jump ball. Olajuwon took the lead in hitting 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 from this season, it can be seen that the biggest shortcoming of their lineup is the serious aging of the team lineup.
This not only affects the state of the players, but also makes them unable to persist for too long in the regular season. Although they have selected two rookies this season, it is clear that these two rookies still cannot carry the banner of the Rockets.
To put it bluntly, the Rockets are now a team that lives on their laurels, even if Barkley joins.
As soon as Smith dribbled the ball for halftime, Iverson came to defend him. The real name is that he didn't expect that the opponent's No. 2 guarded him, and he really didn't take himself seriously.
He observed the situation on the field and found that the opponent's No. 1 was defending Drexler.
Is the glider so well defended?
Smith immediately passed the ball to Drexler at a 45-degree angle.
It's a pity that Zhao Qiang had already seen through his passing movement, and Zhao Qiang had already been stopped by Smith when he immediately started the basketball and passed it to the middle of Smith's pass.
After the ball was broken, Zhao Qiang immediately launched a fast break. Smith and Avery reacted and immediately chased Zhao Qiang.
Although the speed of the two of them was very fast, Zhao Qiang came to the basket of the Rockets even faster, jumped high and dunked the basketball into the basket with one hand.
A small group of 76ers fans followed the team to the Toyota Center, and they came here to cheer for the team.Zhao Qiang's quick steal and dunk made them jump up excitedly.
"Chong Duck, Zhao!"
"Show the people of Houston a little color!"
"They are so careless about our team, then we will prove ourselves with our strength!"
"What about last season's championship!"
Lao Lin also came to the Toyota Center to watch the game, but the tickets he bought were 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 his hands.
In the end, he found that something was wrong with the surrounding situation. There were all Rockets fans around, and they all looked at Lao Lin with unfriendly expressions.
Lao Lin was very embarrassed and scared, and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, it's the wrong person to cheer."
The crazy old Lin of the fans knows it, and he doesn't want to be beaten up by the fans in Houston because of this incident.
Lao Lin hurriedly sat down and lowered his head, but he was still cheering for Zhao Qiang in his heart. This is why our players in Longguo are so good, so what if your Rockets were the champions last season?You can't stop him. .
