บท 299: 128: The problem must be resolved (Requesting monthly passes!)_2

After the game, Orlando fans were quite excited.

They were not excited because their team crushed the unthreatening Timberwolves, but because the slumbering Shaq Daddy was finally going to awake after two long months.

The whole of Orlando was looking forward to Shaq's return; even though the team had been winning lately, with Shaq and Grant on, would Roger really need to fight it out with Pat Riley's team till the last moment to decide the winner?

Shaq himself was also very excited; he hadn't felt such a longing for the game in a long time.

He told the media, "We'll easily take down the defending runners-up, even more easily than you think!"

O'Neal was not blindly confident; this season's Rockets had clearly shown signs of aging.

Olajuwon and Clyde the Glide had both aged another year, and the Rockets hadn't made any successful signings this summer.

Besides, last season's failures made Tomjanovich's motivational speeches a little less effective.
