At the Toyota Center on June 11, the second battle of the finals kicked off here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the day off, Brown Sr. learned his lesson and arranged a lot of defensive tactics in response to the Rockets' Yao Ming and Parker's strong impact characteristics. However, there was little change at the start, and the two sides still used the same starting line-up from the previous game.

The change was seen in the first ball, Wallace, who was strong against Yao Ming, was replaced by Rashid, and Big Ben followed out to defend Bosh's mid-range shot. Rashid is a little more passable than Big Ben, who is very mobile and may shrink back at any time to wrap Yao Ming. Brown hopes that such adjustments will curb Yao's play.

This adjustment worked as if Yao Ming hit twice and handed it to Tekoglu on the outside, and Lao Te's three-point shot was rubbed by Prince's fingertips and the iron missed. Rashid protects the rebound.

Bodiloga played Jefferson with his back in the high post, and Billups waited for an opportunity to step forward to help, but Dejan was very resolute and was not disturbed by Billups at all and wanted to break through between the two. Chauncy originally wanted to make a fake move to harass him, but he didn't expect that as soon as Jefferson gave way, he retreated and made room for a breakthrough. Bodiloga stepped over and made an easy layup, and it was too late for Bosh to pounce.

"Last year, I seemed to be so kind enough to do me a favor and give Maddie a little bit." Jefferson vaguely remembered the unpleasant memory, "Is this retribution?" It's back to me. ”

The Rockets played quite hard, and basically relied on Yao Ming's inside singles to score points. The Pistons seemed to be feeling good from the outside, and not only did Bodiloga keep scoring, but Hamilton also hit the shot.

Bodillo added a cross-directional dribble in front of him, pulled the ball back with a backhand and deceived Jefferson into completely losing his center of gravity. Bodi Loga made an easy layup, and the score was already 12:6.

"Richard wasn't in good shape today, he couldn't keep up with Bodi Loga's rhythm at all." Curry Road.

Tang Shuai turned his head to look at Reed and said, "Michael warms up and is ready to play." ”

Soon Reid replaced Jefferson, Tekogluu took on the responsibility of changing Bodi Loga, and Reid faced Prince, who was not very attacking.

Reid made a difference as he ran off the ball from the bottom corner of the right wing to the top of the arc, and Yao Ming came on to cover Hamilton at the right time. Reed shook off his opponent and ran to the front of the three-point line, receiving a well-timed pass from Billups for a three-point shot, and Hamilton had just bypassed Yao Ming's massive body and could only watch the ball cross his head and fall into the basket.

"Michael. Reed's brilliant three-pointer, which was also credited to Billups and Yao, played a big role in Billups' accurate and timely passing and Yao's high-quality coverage. Smith commented. As a former Rockets ace shooter, he has a special say in the three-point shot.

"Yao played very maturely these balls, he not only scored himself, but also began to help his teammates score, and even did off-ball cover." Barkley gave Yao a rare endorsement: "t_mac is not there, Yao has taken on the responsibility of a leader very well. ”

Prince had a height advantage over Reed, and he boldly made a strong throw, but unfortunately missed. Attacking Reed, he made a three-point shot against the defense, and he scored and equalized!

"This ball is unreasonable, it should be given to Yao Ming!" CCTV commentator Zhang Weiping instructed and commented that "reasonable" was his mantra, so much so that later he had a nickname in the fan circle called Zhang Lili.

Bodiloga usually faces a dislocation of defenders who are shorter than him, and this time against the taller Turkoglou is a rare occurrence. But he still coped with it with ease, and after a big shake, he changed hands behind his back and dribbled past Turkoglu and made a jumper.

"Switching to a big man doesn't necessarily work well defensively. At the Atlanta Olympics that year, Pippen, known as the strongest defender in the NBA, came to guard him. He also scored 13 points in that game. Yuanfei checked the information and said: "At that time, Bodi Luoga was only 23 years old and still very immature. ”

"Is there really nothing you can do about this guy?" Assistant Smith was unconvinced.

"To be honest, no...... Can you imagine a team defending Tracy? Players of their level, unless they are trapped, they can't be prevented at all. But they're still passing masters, and they can't just get on the bag. ”

The Rockets can't defend against Bodi Loga, but the Pistons have a hard time defending Reed. Reed was another off-ball run, catching the ball and turning directly into a 180-degree jumper, and the shot was very fast, although Hamilton followed closely and did not have time to interfere. But the ball was too difficult, and it popped out of the frame.

Yao Ming firmly stuck Rashid, and Bosh slammed into the three-second zone to grab the rebound before Prince.

"This ...... Reed's ferocious three-point shot is a rebounding that trusts his teammates! Barkley got it," the Rockets suddenly stepped up their scramble for frontcourt rebounds. ”

Once again, he handed it to Reed, who was in a 90-degree position in the front, and he immediately aimed for the basket to hold the ball.

"How can I make you happy again!" Hamilton sealed it with all his might.

As soon as Reed reed's hand was closed, he dribbled the ball low and went inside. This shot was a feint, because he had completely deceived the Pistons' defenders with consecutive shots before, not to mention Hamilton, even Bodiloga, the master of feints, didn't see it.

Big Ben hurriedly made up for it, and his defensive ability was the top in the league, but this time he was played by Reed. I saw Reed return a behind-the-back pass, Bosh cut in from the bottom corner just in time to receive it, and there was no defender in front of him to dunk vigorously.

"Whew!" Bosh roared. Reed held out a finger and pointed to the scoreboard. The two mobilized the enthusiasm of the audience, and the Toyota Center was noisy again. Reed's three-pointer, Bosh's rebound, Reed's wonderful pass behind his back, and Bosh's violent dunk, it's so exciting!

Bodi Loga hit again with a single hit. Reed returned another bottom corner three-pointer and missed. But Yao Ming reached out and pulled the ball out this time, and it happened to fall into Billups' hands.

Reed didn't pause in place after shooting, but immediately cut to the basket. Chauncey reacted very quickly and made a well-hit pass to Reed. It's too late for Big Ben to pounce on the foul, and Reed makes it 2+1!

The first quarter seemed to be a heads-up battle between Bodiloga and Reed, with Bodiloga scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Reed, on the other hand, scored 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting, and three of those four were three-pointers. At 22:24, the Rockets temporarily led by 2 points.

Despite the score, the smile on Bodiloga's face bloomed even more. The Rockets are truly an amazing team. Last year, when they were on the verge of despair, Jefferson, Oku, Billups, Yao Ming, and Maddy stepped up one by one to save the team. This year, Parker and Reed have played star again, and this team feels unfathomable.

Originally, Maddy's absence was disappointing, but now it looks like the Rockets are still a great opponent. Bodi Loga thought so, and his fighting spirit burned. (To be continued.) )
