Chapter 296 295: The fifth strongest Western Conference in history, Chasing the Dragon officially begins!

Overnight, Olajuwon once again became the league's top star.

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

When the whole world felt that the Rockets were hopeless.

Olajuwon used his strong personal performance to make the impossible possible!

Newspapers are also discussing the series between the Lakers and Rockets:

"Shay became a god for one season? Now Shay may not even be able to make it to the finals!"

"Can Olajuwon still create another miracle!?"

"Before Shea disbanded the Bulls, Olajuwon had already disbanded the Lakers once! Now, it is very likely to happen 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 regular season record, the two sides are not on the same level. But as we all know, the strength of the Rockets can never be evaluated by their record! They look thin at first glance, but they really have some meat!"

After experiencing a boring first round of competition, everyone finally became excited again.

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

If Shay had succeeded in winning three consecutive championships last time, his status would probably have surpassed Jordan's by now.

As a result, just at the last moment, Shay's journey to becoming a god was interrupted by Olajuwon.

This time, Shay was about to surpass Jordan again and become a god again, but he met Olajuwon again!

Olajuwon seems to be the roadblock placed by God 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 showdown even made Lakers fans a little nervous.

Someone hurry up and introduce another 18-year-old wife to Dameng! The only thing that can guard against Olajuwon is the fresh fruit who has just turned 18!

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

"In the last round of the game, Gary Payton was attacked by the Rockets in time. Although he averaged 22.6 points per game, his shooting percentage was only 41.3%, which is terrible.

The Rockets' defensive mobility is no worse than the Sonics.

Do you think this will affect your offensive firepower?"

People thought that Shay would be nervous when meeting a nemesis like Dameng again and being hunted again.

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

The implication: Payton's defense can be contained, but it can't contain me!

Shea certainly knows what a great man Olajuwon is.

But Shay firmly believes that this is his season!

In this way, under the spotlight, on May 5, the NBA Western Conference Semifinals officially began.

When Olajuwon walked into the court expressionlessly, 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 they felt under Olajuwon's oppression in the summer of 1995.

Magic is also warming up for the upcoming game:

"This season, Shea almost wiped out the entire league, even Jordan was defeated by Shea twice.

He almost created an era of his own.

But at this time, the old opponent who once defeated him at the top is back!

For Olajuwon, his career is legendary enough.

12-time All-Star, 2-time rebound champion, 3-time block champion, 2-time Defensive Player of the Year, holder of the most 5X5 data records in history, the most perfect center in history, and the most gorgeous dancer.

He has it all, well, just short of a championship!

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

The magician's words made the tense atmosphere before the battle even more intense.

When the starters from both sides took their positions near the center circle, Olajuwon really looked like a hunter chasing his prey, staring at Shay.

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

But Shay did not avoid Dameng's gaze. He held his head high and stared at Dameng as well.

Let’s end this round!

On the Rockets' side, the starting five are Cassell, the man with the most presence in history, Mario Elie, Horry and Olajuwon.

After experiencing the last round of battle, everyone on Team Rocket looked extremely confident.

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

Moreover, people discovered that since the Rockets generals came on the court today, everyone would always be thinking about something from time to time.

Now Shay hears it clearly, they are always chanting: "I'm the best! I'm the best!"

This looks like Master Tang’s masterpiece.

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

God caused Master Tang to lose his brain, but also taught him how to make chicken soup.

The Rockets' mental attributes have been fully maxed out, which will undoubtedly make their combat effectiveness several times stronger than in the regular season!

When the referee blew the whistle, Olajuwon jumped up with great excitement, snatched the basketball away from Mutombo's fingertips, and the Rockets attacked first.

As soon as the first attack came up, Olajuwon raised his hand directly to ask for the ball!

Previously, some Lakers fans were still optimistic about this series.

Because in addition to Shea, the Lakers this season also have the shot-blocking leader Mutombo.

He can definitely contain Olajuwon's offense a little.

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

Olajuwon did not fight with the mountains of Africa in the low post, but caught the ball in the mid-range and prepared to play singles with the ball!

As we all know, Mutombo doesn't like 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 his entire body weight to the right. After tricking Mutombo into moving laterally, Dameng used a beautiful Crossover to change direction to the left and completely passed the African mountain!

At that moment, Shay felt that Olajuwon's speed was not much different from his peak period.

How much does this guy Dameng want to fuck me? He gets hard when he sees me!

Olajuwon broke through the mountains of Africa with the ball, but this year, the Lakers don't just have Mutombo.

As soon as Dameng crossed the African mountains, the guy with pink hair immediately stepped up to guard against him!

Seeing this situation, Dameng stopped suddenly, raised the basketball, and seemed to want to shoot before Rodman could fully defend.

Rodman and Mutombo also flew towards Dameng in an attempt to interfere.

As a result, Dameng's realistic action was just a fake shot. Rodman and Mutombo, the two DPOYs, were knocked away at the same time! After knocking Mutombo and Rodman away at the same time, Olajuwon

He took a step forward deftly and made a layup easily!

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

With his flexible posture, superb footsteps, and soft touch, the dream is still the same dream, and he is still the most perfect No. 5 in the world.

Rodman and Mutombo may be very defensive, but Dameng's rich offensive methods are unmatched by other insiders!

The magicians all shook their heads. Dameng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He did a double trick first. At first glance, he was an experienced player.

The game continued. This year, Tomjanovich sent Mario Eli to defend Shay.

Don't ask, I'm just asking because I'm afraid that if gliders are sent to defend, the gliders can't help but want to break Pippen's record.

Shay made a feint and 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 as quickly as possible, a bunch of players wearing dark blue jerseys appeared in front of Shay's eyes.

The Rockets' double-team attack is one of the fastest Shai has seen this season!

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

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

Moreover, the Rockets are not only shrinking inside, but all five players are shrinking, which is bound to trap Shay in the iron cage!
