After O'Neal was beaten, the Lakers were half as strong, and in the next game, the Rockets played with ease, expanding their lead, and by the middle of the second quarter, the Rockets' lead had reached 29 points. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jackson saw that if O'Neal didn't play again, there would be no need to play next, so he sent O'Neal on the court again, and O'Neal lived up to expectations, scoring two points for the Lakers through a quick hook as soon as he got on the court, which was a long drought for the Lakers who had not scored for three minutes.

The Rockets attacked, Ding Hongxing hit the basket again, but this time O'Neal obviously learned a lesson, no matter what, he didn't jump, just stood straight under the basket and raised his hands, even if he had physical contact with Ding Hongxing, it was a reasonable confrontation, the referee would not blow him foul, besides, the Lakers fell behind so much, O'Neal also committed three fouls, not a particularly obvious foul, and the referee probably wouldn't blow it.

Of course, O'Neal's defense like this, it is impossible to block the ball, Ding Hongxing's throw hit smoothly, after landing, Ding Hongxing looked at O'Neal and laughed, it seems that O'Neal has also learned to be obedient and is no longer fooled, but this is fine, so O'Neal's defense under the basket has also lost that deterrent.

O'Neal stayed on the court, the effect on the Lakers is still obvious, the Lakers' outside line has also recovered some touch, their score gap with the Rockets has not expanded, but is gradually narrowing, by halftime, the Lakers narrowed the score gap to 23 points, although the gap is still very large, but it is much stronger than the close to 30 points difference.

What's more, O'Neal made it through the second half of the second quarter without any increase in his foul count, so he could play with a relatively normal defensive posture in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets still used two Wallaces to defend O'Neal, they can be said to be the best pair of partners in the entire league to defend O'Neal, O'Neal played very uncomfortable and depressed throughout the game, although he could also score more than 20 points in the whole game, but the efficiency decreased a lot compared to usual, in the third quarter of the game, I felt that the Rockets did not use their full strength, but the point difference still did not narrow.

As soon as the game came up in the fourth quarter, the Rockets used Stephen. Jackson replaced Big Ben and used a five-shooter lineup, this lineup does not compete with the Lakers for the inside, but the rhythm is too fast, and because O'Neal can't defend it, there is always an empty space on the outside, and now the situation of leading by more than 20 points, the shooters of the Rockets have no psychological pressure to shoot in the open position, just like doing shooting training, such a shooting rate cannot be low.

Although O'Neal also scored a few goals in these few minutes, he also made a few mistakes under the defense of the Rockets' fast-moving defenders, and the Rockets' wave of three-point rain quickly widened the score gap to more than 30 points, and the game has completely entered garbage time.

With Phil. Jackson replaced the main lineup, the Lakers announced that they conceded defeat, Tom Janovic also replaced his main team, 2-0, and the Rockets won their two home courts in succession.

After the game, O'Neal said in an interview with reporters that the Rockets will only shoot from the outside, which is a sign of weakness, and if the Rockets are really strong, they should fight them on the inside.

However, this is obviously O'Neal's words after losing in a hurry, the reporter took out the statistics of this game, and the result was that the Rockets' inside score in this game was 68 points, but the Lakers' inside score was only 41 points, and the Rockets won far ahead.

The statistics obviously don't lie, O'Neal was dumbfounded, but he said in a blink of an eye that these interior scores were all taken by the Rockets when he was not on the court when he encountered foul trouble, and if he had been on the court, the Rockets would never have scored so many inside points, and he also said that the Rockets' center was so incompetent that they didn't dare to go head-to-head with him on the inside.

A reporter took out the statistics of the finals between the Rockets and the Magic team a few years ago, when the young O'Neal and the thirty-two-year-old Olajuwon averaged a few points less than a few points per game, rebounds and assists are not much different, their meaning is obvious, the thirty-two-year-old Olajuwon has a certain advantage in data, and swept the Magic team 4-0, and now O'Neal is in the prime of life, but to bully the thirty-seven-year-old Olajuwon, want to go head-to-head with him on the inside, a little unkind.

After reading this technical statistic, O'Neill's face couldn't hold back, and he read the book and walked away.

It's just a small episode, it won't have any impact on the outcome of the game, O'Neal is still a sometimes childish person, he always feels that he is the first center, the best player, but in the playoffs this season, he always doesn't play well against Western teams, he feels faceless, of course he has to say something to vent.

The Rockets are soaring in the playoffs, on the other side of the ocean, Chinese fans are also jubilant, many Chinese TV stations have broadcast this year's playoffs, the Rockets' games are always at the top of the list in the ratings, most of the time the Rockets play games start at half past nine in the morning Beijing time, many college students have to skip class to watch the game every time they have the day of the Rockets game, many middle school students fly home as soon as they get out of school at noon, in order to watch the last few minutes of the game, Then take a look at Ding Hongxing's wonderful performance from the sports news, in the university cafeteria, there is a spectacle of crowds watching the game, if it is a weekend game, then there is no suspense, at least more than half of the TV sets that are being turned on in China are broadcasting the playoffs of the Rockets.

On China's Internet forum, it was also dominated by the name of Ding Hongxing, Ding Hongxing has become the pride of Chinese in many fields over the years, and now in basketball, he has also become the top person in the top league, how can this not make Chinese proud?

Of course, there will occasionally be one or two trolls on the Internet, Spray Ding Hongxing does not play for China, spray his children were born in the United States, etc., etc., anyway, as long as you want to spray, even a saint can let these trolls find a spray point, but most people are still very reasonable, every time these trolls appear, they will always be scolded by countless netizens for being indecent, and they will be drowned in countless saliva.
