The Godfather of Basketball

"Pay attention to catch the ball!" Jackson stopped chewing gum at this time, standing on the sidelines and shouting to his teammates.

Although tactical command is not his strong point, as a top coach, the Rockets can still feel the momentum.

The Rockets' frontcourt.

Artest sent a sideline ball, and Billups motioned for the players to pull away after receiving the ball.

Yao Ming received the ball in the low post on the right with his back against Bynum.

On the defensive end, like the Honey Badgers, they work hard and are fearless. On the offensive end, they also need to be like the Honey Badgers, knowing how to use their own advantages.

Yao Ming scored 16 points in the first half, which is obviously the most advantageous part of the Rockets matchup.

Bynum lowered his focus and firmly held Yao Ming.

Although he suffers from height and weight, his strength is not bad.

Yao Ming turned his head and saw that the Lakers were not double-teaming. He turned around to the baseline and then made a long-distance hook.

"boom!"

The ball wipes the board diagonally and enters the frame.

Yao Ming came back in the second half and scored 4 points in a row.

The emotions of the fans at the scene are getting higher and higher.

Yao Ming's performance this season is really too stable, more stable than in the past 6 years.

The Lakers attacked, Bryant dropped low, and Artest fought him close.

Kobe moves, Artest moves, Kobe stops, Artest still moves, it feels like the cells in the whole body are in a state of infinite excitement.

Tang Tian's choice was correct. Artest was not the best person to defend against Kobe, but he was the most suitable person to defend against Kobe.

Fight to the death with the black mamba like a real honey badger.

Kobe ran back, turned around and left Artest and ran to the basket.

Fisher a lob.

But Artest jumped ahead of schedule.

"Snapped!"

The pass was successfully interfered by him and he shot it directly.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, McGrady turned around to catch the ball, and then hugged it firmly.

At this moment, Phil Jackson put his hand on his forehead and kept shaking his head.

The Lakers made two turnovers in a row.

The cheers on the scene were loud. Although Kobe's state was still hot, the Rockets had restricted his catches for three consecutive rounds.

This is an absolutely positive sign.

The Rockets attacked, and Billups took the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Yao Ming. This is exactly what happened.

Gasol came to help defend, Yao Ming stretched out his hand and made a pass to force him back, and then took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and hook to the basket.

Bynum jumped to his feet.

Yao Ming suddenly received the ball and turned back, and after flying Bynum, he scored with an easy rebound.

Hitting you is like playing!

After Yao Ming came back from the second half, he scored 6 points in a row!

58 to 67!

This wave of his personal attack also instantly narrowed the point difference between the two sides to 9 points!

Kobe looked up at the point difference at this time, and then went straight to the baseline to catch the ball.

Since the Rockets don't let him catch the ball in the frontcourt, he dribbles from the backcourt himself.

Ariza gave the ball to Kobe, and Kobe directly passed Billups and Artest alone, and dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

The rest of the Lakers directly opened up the space.

At such a critical moment in the game, there is no need to talk about triangle tactics, as long as you can score.

Kobe and Artest one-on-one at the top of the arc.

Dribble, cross step, acceleration, emergency stop, change of direction.

Kobe's whole body was moving, it felt like he was dancing instead of playing!

Artest tried his best, but he was still shaken out of a gap.

At this time, Yi Jianlian quickly rushed out to help defend.

But Kobe was faster. He didn't have any intention of choosing to pass the ball.

"Shua!"

The ball passed over Yi Jianlian's head and fell steadily into the net bag.

Kobe finally scored, and the Lakers also successfully broke the scoring drought.

Point difference, once again came to double digits!

There was a commotion at the scene, Tang Tian got up from the bench and stood on the sidelines.

Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Yao Ming.

Gasol didn't care about Yi Jianlian at this time, and immediately jumped over to help defend.

Yao Ming didn't pass the ball when he saw this, he turned directly to the baseline, and then shot directly with a fadeaway.

Gasol's double-team was useless, and Bynum struggled to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

This slap hit Yao Ming's arm directly, and it was crisp and audible.

"Shua!"

The ball followed and went into the net.

This is a 2+1!

The cheers immediately exploded.

Bynum held his head in his hands.

Phil Jackson kept shaking his head, turned to the bench and called Odom.

It was too easy for Yao Ming to beat Bynum.

"Yao Ming~Yao Ming~Yao Ming is terrible~"

Yao Ming scored 8 points in a row. Naturally, the home fans would not miss such an opportunity. Seizing the gap, they began to sing the song of Yao Ming.

"This year is Yao next year, man." Barkley said with a laugh in the commentary booth.

Originally, he and Smith felt that the Rockets were powerless, but Yao Ming's attack on the offensive end pulled the Rockets back from the cliff.

Yao Ming made an extra penalty and made a steady hit, chasing the point difference to only 8 points.

Ariza sent the ball from the backcourt, and Kobe went all the way to the frontcourt against Artest's defense.

The other players of the Lakers still opened up, and the top of the arc was still one-on-one between Kobe and Artest.

Change direction, cross step, stop suddenly, turn around, turn around again, fake, fake again, jump up and lean back.

Bryant's movements are still extremely coherent.

Artest's defense of the ball is also very good, and he is inseparable, forcing Kobe to choose to use the difficult action of jumping and leaning back, and he took off at almost the same time, pressing his hand to Kobe's eyes.

Kobe shot almost lying flat.

"Shua!"

The ball still goes in.

The black mamba's fangs were still shining coldly.

"Keep faith, be fearless!" Tang Tian stood on the sidelines and shouted to remind him.

Artest nodded and slapped his chest hard.

Honey Badgers won't give up a fight after one or two failed attacks.

Billups dribbles to the frontcourt and continues to hand the ball to Yao Ming.

It's not the only offensive option the Rockets have, but it's the most effective.

Gasol reacted quickly enough, and the ball was caught directly without hesitation.

The pass to Yi Jianlian was blocked, and Yao Ming held the ball high.

"Yi! Yi!" Billups showed the strength of Mr. Big Heart at this time, and immediately greeted Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian heard the shout, looked at Billups' gesture, and directly mentioned the high position and made a pick-and-roll. Billups cut in and then ran out.

By the three-point line, Fisher had been blocked by Yi Jianlian.

Yao Ming's excellent vision quickly found out and threw the ball directly.

Billups catches the ball from outside the three-point line.

The ball crossed a high parabola. Falling straight toward the hoop.

"Shua!"

The ball crashed into the net.

"Chauncey Billups!!"

The live DJ shouted Billups' name.

Cheers resounded through the arena.

This three-pointer helped the Rockets narrow the point difference to 7 points!

And less than half a quarter had passed since the start of the second half.

This is the rhythm for the Rockets to turn!
