With his strength, of course he knows how the Magic punished Barkley at this time, although the Magic does not have the super defensive skills of Russell, but the Magic is the first point guard in the history of the league after all, and when defending, he is almost instinctively thinking about how to promote the team's fast break, in this case, even if Rodman's defensive strength is the king of the ball, compared with the Magic, the damage to the Rockets is not so great, after all, when Lin Han was the core of the defense before, In fact, the most beneficial point for the Rockets is that it is difficult for Lin'an to break fast, as the Rockets who fought with Lin Han last season, they know too well what Lin Han's fast break power is.

This guy can't be blocked at all after he runs, if the magician really lifts Lin Han's fast attack, with Lin Han's fast attack ability, even if it is half the court, the Rocket team will be beaten.

It's just that if it is suspended at this time, it will definitely be a harm to Barkley, after all, Barkley himself can't see the magician's punishment of Barkley, as far as Barkley is concerned, he is not at a disadvantage in the competition with the magician, and he is 100% sure that the magician will be killed as time goes by!

This is not a joke, Barkley has such strength, Tomjanovic also believes that Barkley has such strength, it's just that time waits for no one, if the first half is over, the Rockets are really behind the Lakers by more than ten or twenty points, even the Rockets will be difficult to catch up, right?

What's more, if Lin Han doesn't feel that Barkley is a player who must be paid attention to, then even if Barkley really doesn't attack Magic, then the Rockets' strategy has also failed, and letting Olajuwon and Lin Han one-on-one is the failure of the Rockets, if Barkley didn't even break the Magic, but kept the Magic on the court, why did Lin Han deliberately face Barkley and Olajuwon like he did in the previous two games? I'm afraid that Lin Han will entangle Olajuwon more and more on the defensive end.

Let Barkley break the Magic, the team is likely to fall behind at halftime, but in the future, it can return to the advantage of the first two games, and not let Barkley continue to beat the Magic, then let the Magic stay on the defensive end and put the focus of the offense on Olajuwon, even if Olajuwon scored 50 points in this game, it will be a loss for the Rockets.

Although Tomjanovic does not have a huge choice problem in whether to defend against Linham's pass or Linham's offense like the Spurs in the previous round, but in the same way, when the magic does this, Tomjanovic is actually quite passive at this time.

Of course, he has a third option, that is, to directly give up Olajuwon and Barkley's behavior of wanting to take revenge on Lin Han, and directly use all the strength of the Rockets to play the Rockets, but it is actually quite risky to change the team's playing style in such a hurry in this game, and when the team has not yet encountered a real crisis, if he really does it in order to prepare for a rainy day, I am afraid that the two bosses of the team will not agree to it in the first place.

Although Tomjanovic predicted that if the team continued to play like this in the first half of the quarter, the team was very likely to lose a lot of points after halftime, but if nothing happens, who can guarantee it 100%? After all, these are all speculations, and even Barkley, as a player on the court, can think in his heart, you think I need half a game to be able to beat the Magic, but I think I can be faster, and after beating the Magic, even if we are really behind by more than ten points, or more than ten points, why do you think we can't catch up in the second half, you know, in the first two games, we can easily win the Lakers by more than 10 points.

Therefore, at this time, when the Rockets did not encounter setbacks, the team did not go according to his ideas, but according to the ideas of Barkley, Olajuwon and Drexler, which can be regarded as a gentleman's agreement between him and these three superstars.

For these three people, their feud with Lin Han is almost incompatible, in this case, even if they know that the Rockets are likely to encounter a crisis in this game, but at this time, as the head coach of the Rockets, Tomjanovic can only watch.

For the Rockets, Barkley's offense is the focus of this game, and for a player like Magic, Barkley is also quite confident and strong to defeat the opponent, although the two are now similar in offensive and defensive battles, but Barkley can clearly feel that the Magic's physical condition is actually already a problem at the end of the first quarter. Even when the magician was leaving, Barkley could clearly feel that the magician's legs were a little fluttering at this time.

In this case, this is quite advantageous for Barkley, and as long as the magic is blown up, Lin Han and the Lakers are still at the mercy of the Rockets, and at this time, as for whether the Rockets have lost to the Lakers 25-37 in the first quarter of the game, it has already been 12 points, which actually does not make Barkley feel that there is anything bad, and even for Barkley, this is not even nothing.

But there is nothing for the Rockets and Barkley that is really quite exciting for the Lakers, after all, their team is at home, and in a game that they think they will definitely lose, they actually led the Rockets by 12 points after the end of the first quarter of the game, which is simply incomparably exciting for these Lakers fans on the scene, and even some fans shouted loudly!

Of course, the Lakers fans are quite excited at this time, and the Lakers players are also in the same mood at this time, everyone didn't think there was any hope in this game, especially when Lin Han didn't play singles, the team couldn't see how to beat the Rockets, but what people didn't expect was that Lin Han had been in control of Princeton's organization because of Lin Han, and the magic who had not been very good in the team. Although this career is extremely great, in the minds of many Lakers players, he is actually a player who deliberately gave way to Lin Han, but his contribution to the team is limited, and even in the hearts of many people, after the team's trainer from the Celestial Empire is selected by the team in this season's draft, the Magic even has to slowly hand over the starting position to the Celestial Empire boy, after all, the Celestial Dynasty boy is a real insider, so, in the eyes of Lakers players, after the Magic next season, I'm afraid that the players will really retire and become full-time managers.

It's just that what is completely unexpected is that they didn't wait for Lin Han's outburst in this game, they first saw the Magician's outburst, although the Magician's efficiency in defending Barkley was not much higher than Rodman's, but the Lakers were able to lead so much in the first quarter of this game, Barkley was a fan as an authority, but the other players on the court and other players and spectators on the sidelines really saw it, and almost half of the 37 points scored by the Lakers in the first quarter were the Lakers' fast-break scores, From Lin Han's 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first quarter of the game, you can see what Lin Han's table is like in this game, and what kind of help the magic has for Lin Han, after all, when the Lakers play Princeton, Lin Han's rebounds and assists will not be less, but there has never been so many points in a single quarter!

Therefore, at this time, in the minds of Lakers players, this team super legend who has always been a little despised before, at this time the image has almost changed dramatically, at least at this time, almost all Lakers players are full of wonder and shock when they look at Magic.

They really didn't think that the magicians were about to retire, and they still had the strength to change the game.

However, when I saw that the Magic was still smiling at this time, but his body was a little prostration, the Lakers players standing next to him were actually a little regretful.

Judging from the situation of the Rockets in the first quarter of this game, if the Magic is really at the peak, the Lakers will definitely be able to win this game, of course, if the Magic is really at the peak, with the strength of the Magic and the assistance of Lin Han, it is really very likely that there will be nothing to do with the Rockets, after all, four years ago, the Lakers team, Abdul-Jabbar retired, and the Lakers bigwigs, old and young, were all brought into the finals by the Magic, and even in the finals. Such a 30-year-old Magic faced Jordan and Pippen, the two strongest players in the league's outside defense, and actually did not have the upper hand at all when one-on-one, and even Jordan and Pippen, who are also in the top five in the league in terms of back ability, these two people can't play Magic with their backs, although the Bulls are stronger overall and beat the Lakers, but the Magic is still quite terrifying.

So, not to mention the peak magician, even if it was the magician who didn't retire because of AIDS four years ago, I'm afraid that the Rockets were all bad luck in this game, and now, although the magician has returned, the HIV virus is also under control, but a large amount of medication in recent years has still made the originally chic and handsome magician become a wealthy uncle, not only the change in body shape, but also the function of the body is completely incomparable with four years ago, and the magician four years ago can still compete with Jordan and Pippen without being at a disadvantage. Although I still have some such ability and experience, the physical destruction is still too strict, and the physical fitness is too poor.

"Magic, are you okay now?"

Of course, although the smile on the Magician's face was very bright at this time, the constantly undulating chest still made everyone feel his consumption at this time, so after sitting in the seat, when all the Lakers starters sat down, Lin Han also asked with some worry.

"I'm fine, at least, I can hold on until half-time, Lin, this is a big chance, this game will be handed over to you later"

Facing the worries of Lin Han and other Lakers players, the magic also said with a smile.

And after the magician finished speaking, Lin Han also nodded after being stunned for a moment.

Of course he knows, what is the big opportunity that the Magic said, the Rockets did not change the formation in the first quarter, so it means that the Rockets will not become in this game, after all, if the Magic is really blown up in the first half, then in the second half, there is no need for the Rockets to change the formation, that is to say, in addition to the first quarter, the Lakers have a lot of opportunities to expand the score, then there is still such an opportunity in the second quarter, and even if it is not for the Magic to hold on, Lin Han can't wait for everyone to still play against each other in the second quarter. You must know that the Rockets, who do not have an advantage on the bench, are not afraid to play 48 minutes with the Lakers!

It's just that, obviously, since the Magic can't hold on, the Lakers' bench has an advantage in facing the Rockets, who almost sent away a large number of high-quality substitutes for Barkley, and Lin Han can only sit on the bench and watch the bench duel between the two sides in the end.

"Magic, don't worry, we will definitely win this game!"

Seeing that the Lakers bench suppressed the Rockets' bench a little at this time, Lin Han also said with some excitement, and the magician also smiled brighter after hearing Lin Han say this.

I have to say that this game is going in the direction of the Lakers, this time, the Rockets give the Lakers the opportunity, it seems that the Lakers have seized it, and the same, even if this opportunity is seized, this is also the last chance for the Rockets to the Lakers, after this game, the Rockets will not be the Rockets of this game at all, and whether the Lakers are the Lakers like this now, it depends on Lin Han.

When he thought of this, the magician also looked at Lin Han with some expectation.

"I've done everything I can, and it's up to you where the team can go in this series."

In the end, the magician looked at Lin Han, who had already stood up excitedly because the team's substitutes were playing very well at this time, and sighed a little in his heart.

Of course, the situation in this game slowly favored the Lakers, which made the Lakers very happy, and the Lakers fans on the sidelines and the expert reporters on the scene were also exclaimed, but as the head coach of the Rockets, Tomjanovic was actually quite helpless at this time, he could expect such a situation, and even this situation was worse than he expected.

After all, in the first two games, although the Lakers bench had an advantage, but the advantage was not so big, obviously, after being pressed to the death for two games, the Lakers bench players were also suffocated, at this time the team was finally in such a good situation, and the momentum of the Lakers bench players also rose, coupled with Lin Han's words before the game, it can be said that the entire Lakers team is a little angry at this time, and even can't stop it.

In this case, when the half of this game ended, the Rockets actually came to the second half with a score of 49-70 with a huge difference of 21 points at halftime, although they knew that the Magic, who had been defeated by Barkley in the second half, could not continue to defend like in the first half, sure enough, when the Lakers started in the second half, they really took Rodman up again, facing the Magic who defeated the Magic in the first half, and was ready to be happy and crazy Barkley in the second half. It is the best choice to let Rodman, the league's most entangled inside, entangle Barkley, although Rodman can't defend Barkley, but entanglement Barkley can make him crazy, which is also the biggest feature of Rodman's defense, which is also the reason why he can't prevent most of the league's superstars inside, but he can win the best defensive player and a lot of defense, because it is not so easy for any superstar player in the league to score high points in front of him.

It is precisely because of this that although the Lakers tried to find the advantage of the first two games after the start of the second half, and by the way chased the difference back, but to get the advantage of the game, this is quite possible for the Rockets to do, after all, without the Magic's turmoil, Barkley and Olajuwon can attack both Rodman and Lin Han without thinking about whether they will be punished after failure, which allows the Rockets' innate advantages to be greatly exerted.

But in the same way, because Lin Han and Rodman's defensive combination is very congenitally flawed, the Rockets can win the Lakers by more than ten or twenty points in the whole game, but such a win is to be divided into a fixed four or five points per quarter, which is also possible, but if you want to really play a high [tide], or to recover more than a dozen points in a quarter, and recover more than 20 points in the half, it is almost impossible, at least in the face of Rodman and Lin Han's defense, such a high [tide] is difficult to appear!

In this case, in the face of the madness of the Rockets in the second half, although the Lakers gave people an extremely shaky feeling, this team has always withstood the impact of the Rockets, but it has not really fallen, which even makes many Lakers fans on the sidelines worry and is even more excited!

"The tenacity of the Lakers team is really good, in addition to the absolute lack of strength, this team already has other elements that should be used to win the championship!"

Even when this game came to the fourth quarter, the Lakers, who had been weak in this round of the series, still stubbornly came to the fourth quarter with a fifteen-point advantage, Larry Bird on the sidelines was amazed, the Rockets are indeed stronger than the Lakers, but if you want to defeat the Lakers, the Rockets still can't do it, if the Lakers are given enough hard power, this team may really be able to reach the highest peak in the league!

Of course, whether the Lakers will have such strength will be known later, but now, when this game is over, when the Lakers defeated the Rockets 128-115 in this must-lose game under the leadership of Lin Han and Magic, when Lin Han scored a terrifying 41 points, 16 rebounds and 14 assists in this game, and when the Magic actually sent 6 blocks in this game, when the DJ on the scene shouted such a number.

The atmosphere in the entire Forum Arena, which was already frantic because of the team's victory, became even crazier!

Maybe this game will be the Lakers' last win of the series, but anyway, the Lakers held on to a victory on their home court in a very tenacious way! R1152
