Chapter 202: The culprit

The game quickly came to the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was 70-84, and the 76ers led by 14 points.
The start of the fourth quarter was originally a break time for the main players, but the coach of the Huojian team had to replace them in advance.
Because now the 76ers are on the field again with those "substitutes", those nasty "substitutes"!
"Damn it! If I'm a few years younger, I'll have to lie down!" Barkley wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Olajuwon next to him was patting his calf, relaxing his muscles. He has played this game for 28 minutes! The legs are a little sore.
Coach Rudy supported Olajuwon's back and cared. "Hakim, areyouok? Are you okay?"
Olajuwon grinned, his thick black beard stretched into a line, "It's okay!"
He said that, but Olajuwon was indignant.
It's really hard to be a big man inside this season!
Foul at every turn, foul at every turn. Although it was cool to play against others, it was really depressed when defending. Many people want to come to Olajuwon to break ground.
"It's all to blame on that nasty old man Stern, change the fart rules!"
After playing, Olajuwon was even more angry.
"F@#￥! I rushed in again!"
The teammate's defense is weak, and he is required to make up for it!
This time it was Li Nan again. He had long wanted to challenge Olajuwon again. Now is the time!
Olajuwon didn't think much, and went straight to Li Nan.
Li Nan jumped up! Challenge Olajuwon again.
The body collided with a "peng" sound.
In the air, Olajuwon was blocking like a big mountain.
However, this time, Li Nan was already prepared.
He raised his hand high in the air, shooting with one-handed straight arm!
The basketball crossed the mountain and flew to the basket. Strong as Olajuwon also failed to touch the ball.
With a bang, the ball hit the board into the basket.
"Pretty!"
Li Nan himself was a little excited when he scored this goal. This is a goal scored under Olajuwon's defense.
The audience also gave a warm cheer.
"Wow! Pretty!"
"Lee! Good shot! One more one!"
However, Li Nan found that the situation on the other side was not so good.
"Hakim, what's the matter with you?"
Olajuwon sat on the ground, hugging his knees, gritting his teeth, and did not speak.
Is this injured?
Li Nan just remembered that Olajuwon's bounce height just didn't seem to be enough.
I just won a fluke.
However, Li Nan was also sighed at the scene before him.
Olajuwon is 34 years old! Veteran! Injuries!
Olajuwon waved his hand and rejected the team doctor. He didn't seem to want to go on like this.
Li Nan couldn't help but think of his future self. "When I was 34, could I still persist like him?"
The 76ers fans in the stands suddenly quieted down.
After a while, Olajuwon stood up by himself, stomped his feet and frowned slightly, but still made an "OK" gesture.
Li Nan clapped his hands gently.
There was also sparse applause, and then they gathered together.
Shattering~~
This was given to the veteran Olajuwon.
Beep!
The game continues.
Although Olajuwon insisted on coming back, he didn't have such a great deterrent power.
The Sixers' momentum is unabated, and the offense remains the same. Everyone will not show mercy to you just because you were injured.
Slowly, the Rockets couldn't resist.
Coach Rudy also replaced Olajuwon with Kevin Willis as the backup center.
But, how can Willis' defense compare with Olajuwon? The effect is not good.
The Sixers' offensive momentum can't be resisted, especially those two nasty little guys.
With 5 minutes left, the score of the two sides has come to 75-100, a 25-point difference.
"No chance!"
Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovic also made a decisive decision.
Mingjin retires and stops fighting!
...
Beep beep! The game is over.
The 76ers finally won!
89-108
The 76ers beat the Rockets, No. 1 in the Western Conference, with 19 points.
Ribbons flew in the audience, 76ers fans swayed.
"Won, we finally won!"
Although it is just a game, it is too precious for the fans.
Waiting for a long time, waiting for the last sweetness, what a beautiful thing is this?
On the court, Li Nan and Iverson also slapped high fives, bumped their chests, and finally embraced.
"Play beautifully!"
"We are the best!"

After the game ~EbookFREE.me~ the press conference was again by Larry Brown himself.
The reporters are not surprised.
Soon a reporter asked directly, "Coach Brown, what do you think of this game?"
"Today our defense was very good. We only allowed the West No. 1 Rockets to score 89 points, which is a big improvement."
Defense! This is Larry Brown's favorite thing, and it must be emphasized.
The reporter also took offense as an example. After all, Larry Brown and Li Nan and Iverson had conflicts because of offensive concepts.
"Lee and Allen came off the bench today and scored 66 points together. Do you still stick to your offensive play?"
"No, 66 points are not the key to victory, defense is! Without a good defense, even if we score 120 points, we are likely to lose."
Still defending! Larry Brown wanted to talk about defense all day, even carve it into his bones.
Finally, a reporter asked, "The next game against the Mavericks, will you let Li and Allen return to the starting lineup?"
This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.
"Perhaps."
Larry Brown responded indifferently, and left the crowd first.
...
In the 76ers boss' office, Larry Brown is here again.
"Coach Brown, you~"
Before Pat Cross finished speaking, Larry Brown stretched out his hand first.
"Pat, I let them play as agreed, and the game won."
"Hen~" Pat Cross took a thick envelope out of the drawer and patted it on the table in front of Larry Brown.
Larry Brown was about to reach out for it, but Pat Cross stopped.
