The crushing defeat in Game 3 dealt a heavy blow to the Rockets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although the Rockets players are still young, they are also experienced as professional athletes and grew up playing ball. It's okay to lose, but this time it's useless to lose. In the words of the casino, this is the underwear is going to be lost.

In a depressed mood and a dull atmosphere, the two sides ushered in the fourth finals on June 13.

"Yao, you have to be more resolute with Ben and let him vote. He shot 77-of-323 from the field this season, shooting 24 percent from the field. The last game was accidental, and I definitely can't take care of one or the other, and I don't dare to sit on the inside line. It's your responsibility to protect the backcourt rebounds. Before going on the field, Yuan Fei was still telling Yao Ming.

"Yes, I'll be careful." Da Yao, who usually likes to laugh, also has a serious face, he knows that the team has reached the most dangerous moment.

The Rockets' starting lineup followed the forward combination of Steven Gerrard and Oku, and the other three positions certainly belonged to the CTM trio. Jefferson, who was in a slump in the last game, returned to the bench. The Pistons are still the five Tigers who can't be beaten. Compared to the fatigue of the Pistons in the second game, the third game was easier for the Pistons to win, and only Hamilton played more than 40 minutes in the Tigers. Combined with two days of rest, the starting five are in good shape.

Yao Ming jumped the ball to win, and the Rockets got the priority offense. Billups reached out from outside the three-point line on the right wing to signal for play, and Gerrard received the signal and immediately stepped forward. "It's a pick-and-roll!" Hamilton saw through it at a glance and followed without hesitation.

But Gerrard ran to the free throw line and suddenly stopped, and Hamilton didn't expect him to stop and run past the defensive position. Billups calmly played a pass to Steven Gerrard, who won the ball and passed it to the rear of the right wing. Maddie had already cut to that position, and Prince was distracted by Gerrard's movement and hesitated for a few tenths of a second to keep up.

Maddie made an easy layup, and the Pistons had time to make up for it inside.

"Good shot!" Tang Shuai applauded, he was very satisfied with this cooperation.

"At least I didn't come up and get beaten 10-0." Bosh had a blank look on his face.

Prince missed a three-pointer and the Rockets got the ball back. This time Billups made a wonderful pass, Yao Ming received the ball in a deeper position, turned around and dunked with one arm! Big Ben didn't go too far with the ball, and he still remembered Larry before the game. Brown's arrangement:

"Reducing fouls against Yao, his free throws are very accurate, and it is not advisable to curb his scoring with fouls. Our interior has to cut fouls. Anyway, Yao's physical fitness is not good, and there is a limit to his scoring, so on the basis of ensuring that the confrontation consumes him, let him score a little. ”

Bodiloga passed to Hamilton in the bottom corner, but instead of facing Billups' defense, he faked and shook Billups to break through 2 steps, and hit a jumper with a tilted body under the interference of the help defense, 4:2.

"The masked man (Hamilton wears a mask all year round due to a nose bone injury) yes, such a difficult ball has been thrown." Gerrard teased his opponent as he ran.

The rocket handed Yao Ming a single again, and Yao Ming took a strong step with his back and turned around to hit a hook shot.

"Yao feels good when he comes up, which is a good sign. The Rockets have to rely on the interior to win the game. Barkley commented.

But Yuan Fei on the sidelines vaguely saw that Yao Ming had seen beads of sweat on his head. It's just the beginning, and Big Ben's strength is not fake, with a bench press of more than 200 kilograms. Even the aging O'Neal is no match for the bench press.

Due to Yao Ming's brave state, Tang Shuai was reluctant to replace him to rest, and simply let him take it with him in the second lineup. Da Yao held out until midway through the second quarter before taking a break, but was soon substituted again.

At the end of the first half, Yao Ming played 22 minutes, shooting 8-of-10 and 4-of-5 free throws to score a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. But the Rockets had a mediocre outside shot, shooting only 2 of 13 three-pointers, and the Rockets only led by one point at 42:41.

"Yao, can you still hold on?" Tomjanovich asked with concern.

"No problem!" Yao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Let me continue to play in the third quarter!" ”

Everyone knows that Yao Ming's physical fitness is not good. is stubborn, but in fact, it can't hold it anymore. But no one said anything, especially if Tang Shuai wants to maintain the team's spirit and hold on to this breath, he will never be defeated like the last game.

Three years ago, Yao Ming was only a leading player in the CBA, when the CBA only had 22 regular season games in a season, and it was not as good as more than half a season in the NBA when it was counted in the playoffs. Most of the time it's a one-week race, the schedule is very loose, and there are not many fitness problems. In the first year of going to the United States, Yao Ming was already unsustainable by the end of the season, and this season the Rockets went further to the finals, from October 03 to June 04, which has never been such a long season for Yao Ming.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to keep playing the game. The Pistons handed over to Big Ben at the beginning again, this time Yao Ming was prepared, Big Ben barely shot the iron, and Yao Ming protected the rebound.

Teammates also paid attention to help Yao Ming relieve pressure, and Maddie hit a pull-out jumper.

After Prince hit a two-point shot, Bosh held the ball high above Rashid's head, and Yao Ming received the ball to resist Big Ben and turned around and shot, 46:43.

But the Pistons' superstar will also hit back in time. Bodilloga held the ball at the free-throw line, took advantage of his footwork and turned to create some space and hit a jumper.

Gerrard was annoyed that he had lost his center of gravity slightly, revealing such a small space for his shot, and his opponent threw in.

Yao Ming won the ball in the low post and faked the real pass to Billups, who cut through the gap between Rashid and Big Ben and made an easy layup. The Pistons showed no weakness, and Rashid hit Bosh for 2 points.

Yao Ming's footsteps faltered more and more, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks. Tang Shuai finally couldn't stand it anymore and called a pause.

"I can do it, Coach!" Da Yao's voice was weak, but he just didn't admit defeat.

"Listen to the coach's arrangement, let you rest and rest!" Yuanfei finally couldn't stand it anymore. If Captain Olajuwon was here, he would have stopped Yao Ming a long time ago.

"I don't have you to score for the time being, but I still have me." Maddie rarely speaks to comfort people.

"We'll hold on desperately, so they won't get a few points!" Gerald said.

Yao Ming worked so hard that he completely motivated the team. Inspired by the "Crowd Bloodlust", the Rockets united and launched a hand-to-hand defensive battle with the Pistons. The interior line is not as good as the opponent, but the Rockets' wing defense is strong. In the next half quarter, Prince and Hamilton struggled to even get a shot.

But the Pistons still have Bodi Loga. Seeing that the Rockets were about to defend for 24 seconds, Bodiloga received a pass from Prince at the top of the arc and made a direct three-point shot and hit! The Pistons finally took a one-point lead.

"A successful defense is just one last shot." Kenny. Smith also lamented the ball.

Billups took advantage of Oku's covered jumper to give the Rockets the lead again.

Gerrard and Maddy suddenly closed around Bodi Loga and scrambled for the ball and was knocked off the touchline.

"I'm back!" With this shout, Team Rocket asked for a substitution. Yao Ming is up, Oku is down. The Pistons players looked stunned, and Yao, who had a headache, returned.

With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, the two sides entered the stage of fighting for their lives.
