Then O'Neal found that Olajuwon had run to guard Grant, and the Rockets actually used Thorpe to guard himself.
He immediately raised his hand for the ball, and Thorpe directly moved in front to guard, sitting right on O'Neal's legs.
Roger noticed something, and he quickly called Grant to come up and perform a pick and roll with him.
After getting around the screen, indeed, that familiar oppressive feeling returned. Hakeem Olajuwon was like a huge net in front of Roger, and Roger was like a little fish, hardly able to escape.
Not, like last season when it was hard to escape. Now, Roger had ways to tear this net apart.
Facing the defense of Olajuwon, Roger immediately passed the ball to Grant, who popped out after the screen.
Roger knew the opportunity was under the basket, but under Olajuwon's complete cover, his passing ability wasn't enough to directly assist Shaq. Thus, he needed to transfer the ball first to Grant.
