After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 296 295: The fifth strongest west in history, chasing the dragon officially begins!
Overnight, Olajuwon once again became a top star in the league.

When Payton was already arrogantly considering his opponent in the second round before McGrady.

When the whole world feels that the rocket is hopeless.

However, Olajuwon used his powerful personal performance to turn the impossible into a possibility!
The newspapers are also discussing the series between the Lakers and the Rockets:
"Shay's season of conferring gods? Now Shay may not even be able to enter the finals!"

"Can Olajuwon perform another miracle!?"

"Before Shay broke up the Bulls, Olajuwon had already broken up the Lakers once! Now, it is very likely to stage a second time!"

"Facts have proved that a team with 72 wins is not invincible, and a low-ranked team does not mean that it is weak. Let us wait and see!"

"Judging from the record in the regular season, the two sides are not at the same level. But as we all know, the strength of the Rockets can never be evaluated by the record! They look very thin at first glance, but they are really fleshy!"

After the boring first round, everyone finally got excited again.

Shay and Olajuwon, these two people seem to be connected by the bond of fate.

Last time, if Shay succeeded in winning three consecutive championships, it is estimated that his status has already surpassed Jordan.

As a result, Shay's journey to becoming a god was interrupted by Olajuwon just as he was about to kick the door.

This time, Shay saw that he was about to overtake Jordan again, and he was going to become a god again, but he met Olajuwon again!

Olajuwon seems to be the stumbling block placed by heaven for Shay.

If Shay is a dragon, then Olajuwon is simply performing "Chasing the Dragon 2"!
This is considered to be Olajuwon's pursuit of Shay!

This fateful matchup even made Lakers fans a little nervous.

Who hastened to introduce another 18-year-old little wife to Dameng!The only thing that can prevent Olajuwon is the fresh fruit just over 18!

The day before the start of the game, when the reporters interviewed Shay, they also said a lot of things about how strong the Rockets are:

"Gary Payton was under the timely attack of the Rockets in the last round. Although he averaged 22.6 points per game, his shooting percentage was only 41.3%, which was terrible.

The Rockets' defensive mobility is no worse than that of the Supersonics.

Do you think that will affect your offensive firepower? "

People thought that Shay would be nervous when meeting a nemesis like Dameng again and facing the pursuit again.

But Shay stared at the camera with calm eyes: "What's the point of saying this? I'm not Gary Payton."

The implication: Can contain Payton's defense, but can't contain me!
Shay certainly knows how great Olajuwon is.

But Shay firmly believes that this is his own season!
In this way, under the eyes of everyone, on May 5, the NBA Western Conference semifinals officially kicked off.

When Olajuwon walked into the court with a deadpan face, many Lakers fans felt that their breathing became heavier than before.

This terrifying giant tower is simply a psychological shadow for Lakers fans.

They all recalled the despair and powerlessness under the oppression of Olajuwon in the summer of 95.

The Magic are also warming up for the upcoming game:

"This season, Shay almost wiped out the entire league, and even Jordan lost to Shay twice.

He almost wants to create an era of his own.

But at this time, the old opponent who had defeated him at the peak had returned!
For Olajuwon, his career is legendary enough.

12 All-Stars, 2 rebounds, 3 blocked shots, 2 best defensive players, the holder of the most 5X5 data record in history, the most perfect center in history, and the most gorgeous dancer.

He has it all, well, just a championship!

Therefore, he tried his best to make up for this regret! "

The words of the magician made the tense atmosphere before the big battle even more intense.

When the two sides started to take their positions near the middle circle, Olajuwon really stared at Shay like a hunter chasing prey.

Even Tomjanovich saw Olajuwon look like this for the first time.

But Xie Yi did not avoid Dameng's gaze, he held his head high and stared at Dameng as well.

This round, make a break!
On the Rockets side, the starting five are Kassel, the most present man in history, Mario Eli, Horry and Olajuwon.

After the last round of fighting, everyone on the Rockets looked extremely confident.

It seems that they are the team that won 72 wins in a single season.

Moreover, people found that the Rockets generals have been thinking about something from time to time since they appeared on the field today.

Now that Shay caught it, they were always saying, "I'm the best! I'm the best!"

This look is Master Tang's masterpiece.

When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you.

God let Mr. Tang lose his brain, but let him learn how to make chicken soup.

The rocket's mental attributes are already full, which will undoubtedly make their combat effectiveness several times stronger than the regular season!
The referee whistled, and Olajuwon jumped up excitedly, fighting for the basketball from Mutombo's fingertips, and the Rockets attacked first.

As soon as the first attack came up, Olajuwon directly raised his hand for the ball!
Before, some Lakers fans were still optimistic about this round of the series.

Because in addition to Shay, the Lakers this season also have the block king Mutombo.

He can certainly contain Olajuwon's offense a little bit.

However, Olajuwon's position with the ball at this time made Mutombo very uncomfortable.

Olajuwon did not fight the African mountains in the low post, but caught the ball in the middle distance and prepared to play singles with the ball!
As we all know, Dikembe Mutombo is very dislike to defend in the high post.

But he can only open his arms as much as possible to increase the defensive area.

Olajuwon started to move, he first pressed the center of gravity of his whole body to the right.After deceiving Mutombo to move laterally, Dameng used a beautiful Crossover to change direction to the left, completely passing the African mountains!
At that moment, Shay felt that Olajuwon's speed was not much different from his peak period.

How much does Dameng want to fuck me?I'm hard when I see it!
Olajuwon broke through the African mountains with the ball, but this year, the Lakers don't just have Mutombo.

As soon as Dameng climbed over the African mountains, the guy with pink hair immediately stepped up to defend him!
Seeing this situation, Dameng stopped abruptly, raised the basketball, and seemed to want to shoot before Rodman was completely defended.

Rodman and Mutombo also both flew towards the big dream to try to interfere.

As a result, Dameng's realistic action was just a fake shot, and the two DPOYs, Rodman and Mutombo, were sent flying at the same time!After swaying Mutombo and Rodman at the same time, Olajuwon stepped forward deftly and made an easy layup!

On the first attack of the first round, Olajuwon shattered the beautiful fantasy of the Lakers fans.

The flexible body, superb footsteps, soft touch, the big dream is still the big dream, and it is still the most perfect fifth position in the world.

Rodman and Mutombo's defense may be very strong, but Dameng's rich offensive methods are unmatched by other insiders!
The magicians shook their heads. Dameng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. When he comes up, he will come up with Shuangfei first. It looks like an old player.

The game continues. This year, Tomjanovich sent Mario Eli to defend Shai.

Don't ask, if you are afraid of sending a glider to defend, the glider can't help but want to break Pippen's record.

After a feint, Shay broke through directly. The speed was so fast that Mario Eli couldn't react in time.

But even though he had entered the penalty area at the fastest speed, a group of players wearing dark blue jerseys appeared in front of Shay's eyes.

The Rockets' flank was one of the fastest Shay has seen this season!

Back then, the Lakers had Barkley and Robinson who could get beyond the three-point line, and the Rockets' defense still made Shay uncomfortable.

There is not so much support now, and the rocket's attack is even more rapid.After all, both Horry and Olajuwon are very mobile insiders.

And the Rockets didn't just shrink inside, but all five of them shrank, and they were going to trap Xie in the iron cage!

Seeing this, Shay quickly passed the ball back to Finley.

As a result, Drexler made a quick save, blocking Finley's shooting space.

Ah Hua's defense in this period is very active. He knows that his offensive firepower is weakening day by day, so now he prefers to use active defense to help the team.

Seeing this, Finley gave the ball to Dell Curry again.

Finley hesitated to make a shot, and he couldn't play at a glance.Unlike inferior horses, they shoot directly the moment they receive the basket!

But the moment Curry shot, a face that looked like an alien suddenly jumped into his vision.

At that moment, Curry felt that he was startled by a monster that suddenly appeared while watching a horror movie, and the younger brother almost spit out a few drops.

Curry's shot was affected by this unique appearance, so the basketball finally hit the right side of the basket. It's a pity that it bounced!
Interfering with the opponent's shooting with his face, Cassel, No. 1 in the NBA relying on his face to make money!
As the reporter said before, the Rockets' defense in the playoffs is infinitely close to the Supersonics.

What are the defensive characteristics of the Sonics?Two words, fast!
It's not just double-teaming fast, there are more teams that double-team fast.

The biggest feature of supersonic speed is that it expands quickly!

They can use their strong mobility to pinch the opponent's arrow and force the opponent's arrow to pass the ball.

Then, continue to use mobility to throw out and interfere with the shot in time.

Back then, the Sonics had always been the Rockets' nemesis, because their defense was the best against a one-star style of play.

As the saying goes, it takes a long time to become a doctor. Based on the principle of learning if you can't beat it, the Rockets are now super aggressive on the defensive end.

First quickly pinch Shay, and then immediately expand the defense to block the shot after waiting for Shay to pass the ball, it is simply airtight.

Olajuwon blocked Mutombo in advance, and Horry also hurriedly wrestled with Rodman.

In this way, Dameng finally succeeded in picking off the rebound, and the Rockets won the ball!

NBA Kaede Rukawa dribbled the ball for half the court, and Mutombo went around the front to defend Dameng this time.

Mutombo said before when he was in the Nuggets that Dameng and Ewing were the only two people he couldn't guard.

Speaking of Ewing, it may be because of trying to save face.After all, he had to prostitute Ewing's Gold Club platinum VIP card during the holidays.

But Mutombo is absolutely telling the truth when he says he can't guard against the big dream.

It can make Mutombo forced to go around to defend in the second round, and the deterrence of the big dream can be seen.

Seeing that Dameng couldn't catch the ball for a while, the handsome Houston Xiandao waved his hand.

He is calling on Dameng to pick and roll for himself!
Not all top centers are willing to go out for pick-and-rolls.

If it's a shark, he'll just smile contemptuously, and then crouch under the basket to watch you make a fuss.

If it was Howard in the future, he would frown, give you a look, and then continue to ask for the ball.

And this is the difference between Dameng and them.

Although Dameng's status is extremely high, he is very willing to cooperate with pick-and-rolls.

Dameng went up to set up cover for Kassel, which made it difficult for Mutombo.

If he wants to switch to Kassel, Olajuwon can shoot directly, and can also break through quickly. In short, there are countless ways to score.

Therefore, Mutombo finally chose not to switch defenses and stayed with Dameng.

Dell Curry used all his strength to pull out Stephen to squeeze the screen, but still let the basketball player Takeshi Kaneshiro slip in.

At the mid-range position, Cassel used a posture as handsome as his face, and shot the basketball steadily!
Cassel's biggest feature is stability, passing the ball steadily, controlling the field, and the mid-range shot is even more stable.

He and Dameng's pick-and-roll has long been a big move for the Rockets.

Cassel has averaged 30 points per game in the past 19.3 games since he came to the Rockets.

Already squeezed Ah Hua, who averaged 18 per game, to the third place!
The basketball is in the net, and now, the Rockets are not afraid of Dameng being strictly guarded, nor are they afraid of Drexler being locked up by Shay.

Because they still have Kassel, the third offensive point!

Lao Tzu's face value card, handsome and able to fight!

4 to 0, although the point difference is not big, but the Rockets have the advantage after the start!

On both offensive and defensive ends, they have shown a powerful force that far exceeds the ranking.

The Houston Rockets, fifth in the West, are really not afraid of the 72-win Lakers!
The strongest fifth in the history of the West began to exert its strength, Chasing the Dragon 2 officially started!
Shea also admitted that the Rockets after the mid-term trade were stronger than he expected.

Olajuwon's state is also much better than at the beginning of the season.

However, in the face of menacing pursuers, Shay was not afraid or nervous, but eager to fight.

This kind of Olajuwon has gold content only by defeating him!

The superstars of the 90s were still short of big dreams, and Shay even ruled them all once.

Then, make up for the big dream!
Shay, the stamp collector, wouldn't waste this opportunity.

Although the Rockets' defense is very tight, double-teaming is very fast.

But Shay has discovered that the distance between the three-point line and the free throw line is still a defensive vacuum.

At that distance, Shay only had to face Mario Eli's defense.

Xie Yi is not picky eaters, I will take whatever you give me!

Shay is not Payton, and he is no longer himself.

Two years later, it is still uncertain who is the prey and who is the hunter!

The fifth strongest Western Conference in history?
It's just the fifth one.

　Today's [-]D update is here, and the conscientious old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!Thank you all!
