The Godfather of Basketball

Maybe it's because of extra training, or maybe it's because of a relaxed mind. Marc Gasol, Scola and Sun Yue played very aggressively after they went up. The situation was not suppressed too much.

After more than 3 minutes in the opening of the second quarter, the Rockets only trailed the Lakers by 4 points 35 to 39.

Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines and chewed gum crookedly, biting directly on his tongue and bleeding out. He covered it with his hand at the moment and went to the team doctor for emergency treatment.

Sun Yue missed a three-pointer. Marc Gasol forced his brother Pau Gasol to get an offensive rebound. Before the shot was scored, Scola followed up and made up the basket.

The shouts of "defense" all over the sky at the Staples Center disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The main force is playing as a substitute, and it stands to reason that they should take advantage of the situation to open the score, but the Rockets' substitute team played stronger than the previous game, how the hell are they playing!

They turned to look at the Lakers bench, "Zen Master" covered his face with his hands, what was he doing with the team doctor!

Jackson took care of the wound, but still didn't mean to change the three cores.

In the end, Kobe, Gasol and Odom played the entire first half, but the Lakers did not get the expected advantage. The two teams tied from 30 in the first quarter to 60 at the end of the half.

Phil Jackson is fucking the main force to death, using halftime as a time for physical recovery.

But the fans don't think too much. As the Lakers and Rockets played 50-50 at halftime, their emotions were quite high.

Back in the second half, the three cores of the Lakers played the entire third quarter again, and the scores on the court also rose alternately.

Looking at Kobe who was panting and gritted his teeth while defending, even though he was not in the first team, Tang Tian felt a little bit sorry for him.

With more than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, Tang Tian replaced the main force and played the final decisive stage.

At this time, the score on the court was 96 to 93, and the Rockets led by 3 points.

For the Lakers, Kobe played the entire game. Gasol and Odom only took a break of less than 2 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Playing the whole game under the intensity of the NBA playoffs, one can imagine how much physical exertion it takes.

The Rockets' offense was supported by Yao Ming at a high position, and the main force of the Rockets was full of energy. At this time, the soles of the Lakers players who played infinite air cuts trembled.

Tracy McGrady accelerated to shake off Kobe and rushed directly to the basket.

Yao Ming understood and tossed the ball into the air.

Gasol's excellent sense of smell judged the Rockets' intentions, but he couldn't keep up with his thoughts. McGrady jumped up at this time and smashed the ball into the basket in front of him.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

After the dunk, McGrady swung around the rim before coming down.

There was an uproar at the scene.

"Luke, keep up with your people!" Phil Jackson couldn't blame the three main players at this time, standing on the sidelines and yelling at Wharton.

Wharton looked helpless, he had already been blocked by the Rockets.

In the offense of the Lakers, Gasol held the ball in a high position. Although he was almost missed by Yao Ming a few times, he gritted his teeth and resisted.

Kobe took a deep breath and rushed to the basket, Gasol gave the ball in, Kobe took the ball against Pietrus, and when he made the shot, he lost his feet and lay down on the court.

"beep!"

The referee blew his whistle to signal Pietrus' defensive foul.

Kobe was lying there panting violently, Wharton and Fisher pulled it several times but failed to get up.

In the end, Kobe stood up by himself, and it seemed that he took the opportunity of lying down to rest for a while.

Bryant walked to the free throw line, wiped his sweat and made two free throws to help the Lakers bite the score.

The Rockets' round was still McGrady, but this time he used Millsap's pick-and-roll to break through.

Kobe barely kept up, but McGrady made a sudden stop, his feet went limp, and he fell directly backwards.

There was an uproar at the scene.

"Shua!"

After McGrady knocked Kobe down, he scored a jumper directly.

At this moment, Phil Jackson held his head in his hands and shook his head.

The Lakers' offense, the Rockets' defense was terrible. Gasol didn't have a good chance to pass the ball. He leaned against Yao Ming and directly hit.

After turning around continuously, he directly made a half-hook.

But at the moment of the shot, Yao Ming had already made a prediction, and he slapped his shot away with a big hand.

Gasol was softened by Yao Mingding's feet and fell to his knees directly.

There was a sigh of relief.

First Kobe, then Gasol, the performance of these two rounds, shows that their physical fitness is really to the limit.

The Lakers sent the ball from the sideline, Kobe handled it simply from the outside, and missed a strong three-pointer against Pietrus, and the Rockets received a defensive rebound.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time, and made a tactical gesture for Billups to attack the basket.

Billups advanced to the frontcourt, directly letting Yao Ming sit down and play Gasol.

Gasol and Yao Ming belong to the same level of skill, and they don't suffer too much in the matchup, but the premise is that the physical fitness of the two sides is similar. At this time, the two players are not at the same level in physical fitness.

This is just the beginning. After Tang Tian's order, Yao Ming took advantage of your illness to kill you, and continued to hit the basket. The Lakers were afraid of Yao Ming's passing ability and did not dare to double-team.

In the last half quarter or so, it did not become the decisive moment that the fans imagined. The physically exhausted Lakers players had little power to parry against the Rockets' main force.

In the end, the Rockets made another victory 111-100 away, extending the series to 2-1.

In the post-match press conference, Phil Jackson bit his tongue during the game, and his speech was a little slurred, and he left the field hastily in the middle of the interview.

In contrast, Tang Tian on the side of the Rockets was smiling and responded to reporters' questions fluently.

"The Lakers insist on using the main lineup, but the Rockets continue to use rotation players during the substitute period. Don't you worry that the team will fall behind or collapse?" The press conference went on for a long time, and the reporters asked more and more detailed questions .

"Of course not. I believe in my players. They have proven themselves in the regular season." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"What if I said?" The reporter asked.

"Of course, this kind of if is possible, but even then, I will not let them play, the game is a whole series after all, I don't want my main players to be tired, because that means they go back at night. I can't do business with my wife anymore, especially if someone in our team just got married." Tang Tian said solemnly.

After saying this, the reporters below burst into laughter.

Yao Ming even laughed into a big embarrassment. The newly married person obviously refers to him.
