Chapter 118: The Strength of the Other Party (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, 3/3)
Jackson was watching the game with his shoulders crossed. He didn't want the timeout just now, but he's interested in tonight's game now. In the absence of those two, the Lakers players still listened to the Zen master.
Because some of his tactical arrangements are still very effective. During the game, the players also had a lot of rest. A pause is basically spent most of the time resting. During the regular season, Jackson put little pressure on his team's players.
He just asked the players to listen carefully to his layout in the playoffs. The Zen master at that time would also become stern!
Vujacic hit a three-point shot immediately after getting Zhou Yang's pass! 69:58! The current strength of the Lakers Zhou Yang and Odom is very strong. The team also needs to rely on the two of them to play!
"This Zhou Yang is really exciting in the arena!" Thinking so, Mutombo ran over with his teammates. Zhou Yang gives people the feeling of seeing the intentions of Team Rocket!
This sense of smell is more important in the game. Some players don't find out who is really defending them until they are under the basket!
And Zhou Yang just now has already discovered the movements and eyes of the players at the end of Houston. Even if you can't prevent him, you can basically interfere with his attack to a certain extent!
Bogans dribbled the ball past Wharton in the front court and then made a layup that was directly covered by Mime! In the scramble, Smash got the basketball and made a long pass to Vujasic! The latter hit another three points directly from Alstom in the middle of the half!
Van Gundy is going crazy! Although he didn't roar over there, he knew from his movements that it was emotionally bad.
"I just said, Zhou Yang and Wu Jacic have to guard against it!! What are you doing on the field?! You can't let Mutombo run after the opposing defender, can you? ...... all."
Just because his team will always make him feel overtaken in the second half at times. And then the advantage accumulated in the first two quarters is gone. And then the opponent also won the game.
And so they are!
Alston didn't shoot a three-point jumper after a quick pass to Smush! After Zhou Yang got the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Wharton after passing the opponent directly to Stromeyer, who jumped directly into the net after coming to the frontcourt! 69:64!
With 6.1 seconds left on the clock, Alston got a direct pass from Derek in front of the court and returned a three-pointer! The third quarter of the game is over! 72:64!
After Zhou Yang came back, he immediately narrowed the score difference!
"Odom, like Zhou Yang, don't go to the basket unless you want to dunk. Fisher and Vujacic listened to Wharton, you have to keep changing positions and running around the field. It's better to get rid of the opponent's defense, and you must be quick to get the ball! Zhou Yang also pulled it out and hit ......"
In the final quarter, the Zen master told the players to pay attention to what to do. Yao Ming is definitely coming back, and his ability under the basket is basically impossible for Odom and Zhou Yang to score right away.
In this case, the Lakers can only choose to shoot quickly without O'Neal!
With a score difference of 8 points, there is still hope for a quarter.
The lineup on the Rockets' side who came back in the fourth quarter was Yao Ming, Hayes, Maddy, Alston, and Wesley. Wesley mainly guards against small fish! Because the Lakers' Fisher is still good in terms of individual breakthroughs! He has a strong physique!
originally wanted Tracy and Zhou Yang to play against each other, but Van Gundy sighed after seeing the opponent's lineup. On the Lakers' side are Odom, Zhou Yang, Luke, Fisher and Vujasic!
Wharton still organizes the team. Zhou Yang, who got the basketball in the front court, directly hooked 2 points when Maddie was stuck by Wharton! 72:66!
Tracy got the basketball in the backcourt, and the Lakers immediately began to defend it, but they were all passed by Maddy and hit a three-point jumper! 75:66!
With Odom's shot interfered with by Yao Ming, Hayes got the basketball and immediately hit the ground and passed to Alston. The latter came to the frontcourt, and Maddie received the ball and shot a three-point shot!
......
"The Lakers did a good job on offense in this game. We didn't defend well in the third quarter. Let the other party get a lot of points. The other party's Zhou Yang? Yes, a young man with potential......"
Van Gundy replied at the post-game press conference when asked how the Lakers evaluated the game, as well as Zhou Yang's evaluation.
"I thought this would be the result for tonight. But it's a bad thing that the players can hone in on this game. The Rockets have a decent defense, which is their strength. Yao Ming is fantastic, this doesn't need to be said......"
Jackson answered reporters' questions. It looks light-hearted.
"So what do you think of this game? Give yourself an evaluation~"
A tall and thin male reporter present said to him at this time.
"I didn't do enough in terms of moving the ball and some of the attacks. Wharton, Fisher, Odom, they're all good! Sometimes I miss some opportunities."
102:91! In the fourth quarter, the Rockets began to attack wildly, and the Lakers were basically unable to parry. "Yao Mai Combination" has played a lot of power!
In this game, Yao Ming of the Rocket team got 12 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists! Hayes had 6 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Maddy had 30 points, 4 assists and 1 steal! Alston had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Derrick had 10 points and 2 assists.
On the Lakers' side, Odom had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Zhou Yang 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Wharton 12 points, 2 rebounds and 8 assists! Fisher 19 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists! Vujacic had 14 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
It can be said that the whole team has done their best. But the Rockets' offense was too fierce. If O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are on the team, they can also win. Zhou Yang felt that losing this game made him a little uncomfortable.
I made too many mistakes in the final quarter. And as the Zen master said in the dressing room after the game, everyone will go through this. Maybe you've been playing basketball for a few years. In the final minutes of the final quarter of the game, the Lakers found their shooting touch, but by that time there was no way to catch up.
In order to protect the rebound, Mutombo also played! Yao Ming and Mutombo are basically difficult to get rebounds when they go to the basket!
Odom didn't score more than 10 points in the whole game! That's because Team Rocket "took good care" of him. After the game, the players had no choice but where to go. Everyone returned to the hotel with the bus.
Jackson still gave the players a holiday. Zhou Yang did not enter the system after returning to the hotel. Instead, I watched a TV show for a few hours. Some programs he watched carefully for a while, but some programs did not attract his attention.
He just wanted to send down that feeling of loss in his heart.
