Chapter 205: The true meaning of lying down

The second round of the highly anticipated playoffs has finally begun.
　　Western side...On May 11th, the sun hit the Spurs, and the previous day on the 10th, the Rockets played the jazz, the second round of the G1 battle in the Rockets home stadium Compaq Center.
　　 Houston Rockets.
In 84 years, the current champion Olajuwon was captured, followed by the 85-86 season and rushed out of the west. In the finals and the Eastern Celtics, although the championship failed that year, but also accumulated a lot for the Rockets experience.
　　However, after that, the Rockets' record has deteriorated. Occasionally second round games, regular first round games, and even individual seasons, even the playoffs, can not see the shadow of the Rockets.
As for this season, Olajuwon’s statistics are still strong, and the regular season record is good, but the first round and the Clippers played a 3:2, encountering a stronger Jazz Legion, encountering a combined linkage Lee Mas, Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovic expressed a headache.
Throughout the Rockets game, this is a single-core team built by the center, Olajuwon is the core of the core, and his play is the most critical factor affecting the game's winning or losing, so the most annoying thing for the Rockets is to touch On the inside team, the most feared thing is that Olajuwon is blocked.
　　 In view of this, the Rockets prepared Olajuwon's inside left and right arms, power forward Otis Thorpe.
Thorpe and Olajuwon logged in in the 84th draft at the same time, and the 9th pick in the first round was won by the King. The pick was not high, but Thorpe averaged 20.8 points + 10.2 rebounds in the last season of the King. Can be described as the first-class power forward at the time.
Although the Rockets became Olajuwon’s second child, the data has declined, but Thorpe can provide a little help for Olajuwon. The two combined into a twin tower that is not high inside. This is the The Rockets' second key factor in the Western Conference this season.
　　However, compared to the jazz...not talking about others, only talking about inside.
At the power forward position, Thorpe and Malone face off.
　　On the strength, Thorpe is not as good as Malone; on the data, Thorpe's peak data is also inferior to Malone, and in this position, the Rockets' disadvantage is basically determined.
As for the center position, Olajuwon and Lee triumphed.
This season's Olajuwon, looking at the data, can be regarded as the center's strongest, but the new generation center Li Shengli, who is a new army, can not be underestimated. The difference between the two is not as big as the power forward position, so look at these , Jazz has a greater advantage.
Although the game is not more than the previous data, the data is only for reference, and it really depends on the live performance, but the Rockets coach Rudy is still worried. After all, the Jazz outside has an assist king, Stockton... that is a crazy 12 assists per game. , Far from being comparable to a rocket point guard.
　　Luxury!
　　 Even luxury!
　　'S lineup made Rudi envious of Jerry Sloan. After all, Limas had a weak opponent in his hand. They were on the sidelines and sleeping on the floor.
　　 lie and win!
　　 This is a real lying win!
　　Sleep to the end of the game, go to the interview after the game and blow up, praise the opponent's sportsmanship, this is definitely the highest treatment of the head coach.
　　 But Rudi envy envy, there are no weak teams in the playoffs, the Rockets are not, the Jazz want to take the first voyage in Houston, Rudy is definitely not the first to agree.
　　 After all, the Rockets that have Olajuwon and are slowly running in are already very strong. All they have to do is to maintain their current competitiveness, wait for an opportunity, and pass the jazz.

　　 Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets, the second round of the g1 battle, officially started.
　　 Jazz starting: center Li Shengli, power forward Karl Malone, small forward Tyrone Corbin, point guard John Stockton, shooting guard John Croti.
　　 Seriously, the weakest link in this starting lineup is shooting guard Croti, but there is no way... there must be something to lose, Jeff Malone was used to trade Lee victory.
　　 This position was originally played by Jane Henriris, but let Croti start, and Jerry Sloan's fancy is his defensive ability.
　　 Defensive with a shooting guard?
　　 The shooting guard doesn't score, it sounds like nonsense.
But in fact... Jazz does not lack sporadic firepower on the outside. Even if Jeff Malone is still there, there will be a lot of outside shots, so Croti is the most suitable candidate, a defensive, light-scoring shooting guard .

　　 Rockets starting: center Hakim Olajuwon, power forward Otis Thorpe, small forward Robert Horry, point guard Kenny Smith, shooting guard Vernon Maxwell.
　　 The inside lineup of this lineup is needless to say, but there are two defenders. Kenny and Vernon are worth mentioning because they both like to make three-pointers.
　　Although in this era of sparse three-pointers, Vernon still reached an average of 5.1 three-pointers per game, shooting 33.2%.
Two points are difficult to kill, but three points are okay. If Vernon and Kenny are allowed to shoot the three points, it is still very difficult for the Jazz to follow the two points inside. This is also Jerry S. The reason why Long started Detroit shooting guard Croti.
　　Crotti and Stockton are the main force to suppress Vernon and Kenny, and at the same time...Crotti also loves to shoot three points.

In the jump stage, Li Shengli and Olajuwon met in the midfield.
　　 "Li, meet again!"
　　 "Yeah, see you again, UU reading www.uukanshu.com brother!"
　　 "I want to win this game, you... don't resist!" Olajuwon's face was calm and calm, but when he saw Li Shengli, his heart was blocked.
　　He was the only record holder of four pairs in the active center, but Li Shengli also scored four pairs and successfully stood side by side with him.
　　 He is the holder of a single game rebound record in the playoffs, but Li Shengli played the first time in the playoffs, with 32 rebounds in the first round to cover his 26 rebound records.
　　 Always feel that this kid is chasing his ass? !
　　 For this, Olajuwon also felt the pressure from the new generation center.
　　 "Brother, I'm sorry, I have to win this game, but... you can resist, but it's useless to resist." Li Shengli was also expressionless.
The award for the best rookie was inexplicably received, and O'Neill met Olajuwon several times, including the All-Star Game, and was all beaten by Olajuwon, so he has 10,000 reasons to be in Ola Zhu Wang proves... that he is better than O'Neill!
　　 "Then touch it!"
　　 looked at each other, holding back the strength of the whole body, and the real, full-time confrontation between the old and the new, the first time it was displayed in front of the entire league, is also the biggest attraction of this game.

The referee tossed the ball to a high point, and the two immediately launched. Even if it was just an unimportant jump ball, they also exerted all their strength. However, Li Shengli’s height was still an advantage. He successfully used the superhuman wingspan to dial the ball and sent it to Stoke accurately. In Dunton's hands, the Jazz attacked in the first round.
