? As the defending champion, the Rockets in the 1994-95 season aimed to hit two consecutive championships and establish a brilliant Rockets dynasty.
However, due to the impact of injuries, the team's record in the regular season in 1994 has been tepid, and it has been very difficult along the way.
Even in the middle of the season, the Rockets brandished checks to strengthen the lineup through the precious opportunities opened by the trading window, but teammates still had the influence of running-in, and the chemical reaction was not as good as expected.
At the end of the regular season, the Rockets ranked sixth in the Western Conference with 47 wins and 35 losses, and their prospects were bleak.
Many people in the sports media, including Houston, don't believe that the Rockets can pass the first round, let alone win the championship, because so far, there has been no tradition in the history of the NBA.
? In the first round of the playoffs, a 5-game 3-win system was adopted. Karl Malone and "The Glove" Stockton, who were in peak form, took advantage of their home court advantage in the regular season to face the Rockets at home in the Devils at an altitude of 1,300 meters in Salt Lake City.
After the first 3 games, the Rockets fell behind the Jazz 1-2. It seems that the Rockets' playoff journey is coming to an end.
At this time, Olajuwon and "Glider" Drexter stood up and broke out together. With great desire for the championship, Drexler scored 41 points, leaving the suspense until the fifth round .
The total score was tied at 2:2.
In the fifth game, the Utah Jazz's Karl Malone's 35 points and 10 rebounds were evenly divided with the Rockets' big dream Olajuwon's 33 points and 10 rebounds. The two famous centers performed equally well.
However, the Rockets took the victory 95 to 91 and eliminated the Utah Jazz in the first round.
The second round of the playoffs;
The Rockets faced their old rival Suns with 59 wins in the regular season, and adopted a 7-game 4-win system. Last year, the Rockets stepped on the corpse of the Suns to ascend to the championship throne. This feud can be said to be extremely deep.
The two sides met again in the playoffs, and "Flying Pig" Barkley's old and new grudges welled up in his heart. Seeing the Rockets' eyes were red, he wished to tear up this group of people.
There is no need to mobilize at all. In the first 4 games, the Suns, under the leadership of "Flying Pig" Barkley, were on the offensive. The game was very tough, leading the Rockets with a big score of 3-1.
At this crucial critical moment, Rockets head coach Tomjanovich uttered a famous saying that resounded throughout the league; you should never underestimate the heart of a championship.
The veterans of the Rockets said so, and they also did so at the same time. Facing the desperate situation, the leader of the Rockets, Olajuwon, broke out completely, leading the whole team to fight against the opponent.
In the crucial fifth game, "Glider" Drexter even went into battle with an illness. The entire Rockets team had the last laugh with their unyielding fighting spirit and tenacious willpower.
The situation changed dramatically. The Rockets once again won two consecutive cities to drag the game into the tie-break, and the total score was tied at 3:3.
Both sides in the tiebreaker were red-hot, and the Suns stood on the edge of the cliff and could not retreat. This battle also broke out unprecedented bloody courage.
The scores alternated leading on the field, and the situation has been very anxious. Until the last moment, the Suns still led by two points. In the end, Mario Elie hit a quasi-killing three-pointer for the Rockets, and the Suns made a 1-3 comeback.
Luck is on the Rockets' side, and they are destined to make history.
Relying on their rich experience in the playoffs and the solidarity of veterans, the Rockets finally overthrew their old rivals, the Suns, leaving deep pain in their hearts.
These two seasons were also the highlight period of "Flying Pig" Barkley's career, but it was a pity that he became a stepping stone for the big dream Olajuwon to return to the top, and was trampled on the soles of his feet again.
This kind of pain of failure will never be forgotten. After retiring, Barkley served as a TV commentator to broadcast Rockets games.
Later generations
After the Rockets won Yao Ming's No. 1 pick, Barkley made a bet with his partner Smith, teasing Yao Ming for not scoring 19 points in a single game in his rookie season. As a result, Yao Ming scored 20 points in the Lakers game. Barkley lost the bet and had to go kiss him. Ass ass.
Tracing back to the source, "Flying Pig" Barkley still broods over the two disastrous defeats in his career.
? In the last three games, the Rockets' core big center Olajuwon became the decisive factor in victory, averaging 45 minutes per game.Read, but not necessarily guaranteed to understand.
Amid the crazy cheers of the fans, Wang Yaocheng could not show half a point of shrinking, that would be too disastrous, he walked into the field calmly holding the ball, and at the same time raised his hand and waved it to the enthusiastic audience around him.
In this way, there is no need to dribble or walk.
Stopping outside the three-point line, Wang Yaocheng seemed to throw it on the basket casually, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the net.
Hakeem Olajuwon and Drexler were dumbfounded at the time.
The ball is high and floating. The key is that the arc is too high and the distance is not enough. As soon as they take a shot, they know that it is a three-point shot and it is too far away.
at this time
A black lightning rushed up at high speed, jumped high at the top of the free throw arc, grabbed the tall and floating basketball with one hand, and moved several meters in the air. A powerful windmill dunked the basketball hard. smashed into the basket.
This is Robert Horry, who is physically fit, a key player with a big heart, a role player who can always throw key shots in fierce playoff games, and an indispensable piece of the championship puzzle.
Wang Yaocheng was very satisfied. This Robert Horry was pretty good. He lifted his hands upwards like booing, which drove the fans all over the field to cheer enthusiastically, and made the atmosphere of the Compaq Arena warm again.
At the same time, Wang Yaocheng naturally greeted the head coach of the Spurs, and Shi Shiran walked out of the court.
