In the locker room, the Rockets were still excited about Jefferson's midfielder three-pointer. Jefferson was modest www.biquge.info and said again and again that it was just a balloon.

"Richard said the ball was luck, but luck is also part of the strength. Being able to shoot this kind of ball is the result of his hard work. I hope that other players can learn more from Richard in this area, and there are not many people who can take the initiative to stay and practice three-point shooting after training. Yuan Fei hurriedly made a summary, and he needed the players to quickly focus on the game, so the conversation turned back to the game. But we also have to realize that we didn't play well before, and we only had a slight lead thanks to Richard's magic three-pointer. I have to reiterate that if we lose this one, the next three straight away games will be 1-2 and the finals will be over. Who can be reconciled with such an outcome? ”

The players were silent. Of course, even the F4 Lakers have been killed, and the Finals are lost to the civilian Pistons, who can be willing?

"Even if we win this game, we still have to go to Detroit with one less home disadvantage. So we are already in the dangerous stage, and we have to fight. Tang Shuai also seconded the proposal.

"I'll shoot in the second half." Maddie made a succinct statement.

Tang Shuai nodded, the introverted Maddie can take the initiative to take responsibility, which is very good.

The Pistons adjusted to the five-tiger lineup, and it was a cooperation in the inside pass, and Big Ben assisted Rashid to cut the air.

Larry. Brown was smiling in the dugout, and that's certainly his set-up. It is true that Oku is the best choice for the Rockets to defend Rasheed, but Rashid was fully rested in the first half, using his physical advantage to run off the ball, and Oku's weakness of slow movement was exposed.

Yao Ming misses singles. Bodiloga picked up the rebound and went straight to attack, Jefferson let go of a step and didn't give him space to break through, and the Pistons' fast break was effectively blocked.

Bodiloga saw that Jefferson's defense was in place, and Maddie on the other side was eyeing him at any time to help defend, and he had no good scoring opportunities and had to throw it to Hamilton on the weak side. The latter catches the ball and makes a direct jumper, and Billups doesn't give enough harassment despite not being enough to block the opponent.

Rashid missed the shot, and Rashid grabbed the rebound and then split Hamilton. Hamilton made a wobbly jumper and missed the jumper.

"Protect the rebound!" Tang Shuai was so anxious that he shouted from the sidelines. Even though the Pistons didn't make a shot, losing a rebound was always a bad thing.

The Pistons were a little impatient on the offense, but Billups controlled the rhythm with weight, and when the center fell to the position, it was still handed over to Yao Ming to play alone. This time caused a foul on Big Ben, and Yao Ming made two free throws, 47:50.

Bodiloga relied on his skilful footwork to break through to the basket, and Jefferson pulled him down, of course, being whistled for a foul. Bodiloga also made 2 of 2 free throws, and the two teams were still only 1 point apart.

Yao Ming missed a single shot, Oku pulled out the frontcourt rebound, Maddie got the ball, connected with Jefferson outside the three-point line, and hit the three-point again!

"Amazing Jefferson!" Kenny. Smith couldn't help but admire.

"There's also a key rebound, and that rebound is Memet. Thanks to Oku! Barkley has always had a penchant for exaggerating the role of the insider.

But when Oku and Billups were substituted for a break, luck went to the Pistons' side. First, the stable Rashid stood up and singled Wang Zhizhi three times in a row. After Maddy returned a shot, Bodi Loga hit another three-pointer to put the Pistons up by one point.

Wang Zhizhi missed a three-point shot, and Gerrard scrambled to grab the rebound, but Yao Ming's turn hook still slid out of the basket. Hamilton pushed to the front court and directly hit a three-pointer, and the ball went in! The Pistons led by four points.

Maddie finally turned on scoring mode to take over the game, and he used his extremely fast first burst to shake off Prince in an instant and break through again and again. Also made a foul on Big Ben. Campbell had just been replaced for his fourth foul while defending Yao Ming, and the Pistons had no one available inside, so Brown had to replace Milicic.

Bodiloga didn't show any signs of weakness and turned on scoring mode, drawing fouls on Steven Gerrard and Turkoglou in quick succession, making 6 of 6 free throws.

At the end of the third quarter, Rashid scored 8+3 in a single quarter on 4-of-5 shooting, and Bodiloga relied on 8 accurate free throws to hit 16+3+2 in a single quarter. Relying on the excellent play of these two, the Pistons successfully overtook 75:71 and led by 4 points on the road.

The Rockets struggled, and Yao Ming played almost the third quarter, sitting on the bench gasping for air, obviously needing a break. The only advantage of the Rockets is that the Pistons' Big Ben, Rashid and Campbell each have 4 fouls, but unfortunately at this moment, the interior core Yao Ming is resting again.

Tang Shuai considered that Jefferson was almost playing at the highest level at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, anyway, no one could curb Bodi Loga, who was in a violent state, and let Jefferson, who was in the best form, go to the opposite of him. He still has to free up Maddie on the defensive end and let Maddie go on offense.

Sure enough, Maddie came up and broke through and hit a jumper.

Milicic missed a shot from close range, and Prince rushed to grab a rebound and distributed it to Hunter from the perimeter under the Rockets' multi-pack, who still missed a three-pointer. But Prince's long arm probed and actually grabbed the rebound in the front court, and then handed it to Hunter. Hunter made another pass to Hamilton for 77-73.

Maddie once again singled and forced a shot to hit with Big Ben's help.

The Rockets bench sweated, and Maddy's shots became more and more difficult, and although they all shot, the situation was indeed tilting towards the Pistons.

Milicic responded with a high post and assisted for Hamilton to hit a 2-pointer.

Maddie answered with a three-pointer, 79-78.

The fans in the Toyota Center began to be agitated, although the Rockets were in a very passive situation, Maddie relied on his personal ability to chase the score closer.

Milicic responded again in the high post, but this time his passing path was judged by Maddy. A key steal, Maddie staged a big windmill dunk in one go! 79:80Rockets overtake by 1 point!

The cheers in the stadium were like a tsunami landslide, and the enthusiasm of the fans was ignited by Maddie. The head coach wants to see that every ball can be played reasonably and tactically coordinated, but what fans want to see is Maddie's unreasonable strong play, unreasonable defense, and unreasonable scoring.

Big Ben received a through ball from Bodiloga under the basket and caused a foul on Oku, but he missed two free throws. This time, Maddy finally missed the shot, and the Pistons were a little relieved.

Bodi Loga was also tired. The two Wallaces also rotated normally due to the fouls, and Bodiloga's bench was not enough to support the team, and he has only played for five minutes so far.

Prince misses a jumper. Bodiloga fought for a rebound in the frontcourt, causing a foul on Oku. He made two free throws and two hits to overtake the score again. The rocket also replaced Yao Ming into the final battle.

With Hamilton scoring four straight points on key shots, the two sides entered the final minute and a half of the game, with the Pistons leading 94-90.

Exhausted, Maddie showed the last of his fighting spirit and broke through Prince's defense, causing a foul on Rashid, who came up to assist the defense, who committed five fouls.

But Maddie was so tired that his steady free throw shot was out of sorts, and he hit one of two free throws.

Bodiloga calmly wasted 20 seconds to distribute it to Hamilton, who missed a shot. But Big Ben grabbed this priceless frontcourt rebound against Yao Ming, and made a rebound, 96:91 The Pistons led by 5 points, and there were only 50 seconds left in the game.

Yao Ming beat his chest and blamed himself, if he grabbed this rebound, the situation would be much better.

That kind of moment had to be left to Maddy, who missed a three-point shot with Prince's interference. As the basketball slammed out of the hoop, the fans seemed to let out a sigh at the same time.

But they sighed too soon.

"I was robbed just now, take it back!!"

With this roar, Yao Ming picked up this gold-precious frontcourt rebound on Big Book. He also drew a foul on Big Ben and hit a free throw. Big Ben 6 was full of fouls, and he left the scene dejectedly.

96:94。 There are 30 seconds left in the race. Larry. Brown asked for a timeout.
