Yao Ming pulled the ball back to the Rockets half court from Gasol's hand, and in the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans at the scene, Billups held the ball across the half court and kicked off the second game of the Western Conference finals.

The Rockets are still using the infinite air-cut tactic they played all season.

This opening was with Maddy's No. 2 ball at the top of the arc.

The Rockets' Billups and Petrus cut to the basket in quick succession, and when they came out, Billups and Millsap cut another round.

The strength of this Lakers team is offense, and the defense can only be regarded as the middle of the league, Bynum is absent from Gasol as the center, and the defense is further weakened, while facing the infinite air cut that the Spurs can't resist, there is also a defensive misposition.

This is also the main reason why Maddy is absent from the Rockets and the Lakers for more than three quarters.

Billups' Wharton, who got rid of the help defense, went to the basket, and Maddy made the first pass to the ground.

"Smack!"

Billups received the ball and scored a layup past Gasol.

Team Rocket takes the lead!

The cheers of the fans at the scene shook the sky.

The Lakers' offense, Gasol, Fisher and Kobe Bryant pulled to the right, and Odom and Radmanovic roamed on the left.

Gasol asked for the ball in the high post, and after Fisher gave the ball in, he went to the weak side to cover Kobe Bryant, Kobe inserted into the basket, and Fisher ran to the three-point line.

A typical triangular offensive tactic.

The triangle offense is a free offense, but there are two general principles, one is to give the star more one-on-one opportunities, and the other is to narrow down the five-on-five full-court to a three-on-three zone offense to create advantageous one-on-one opportunities.

The Rockets and Lakers have played each other many times in the regular season, but before Gasol joined the Lakers, the triangle offense basically stayed in the first one, but after Gasol joined, the system was basically complete.

Gasol held the ball high at this time with his back to Yao Ming, turned left and right to prepare to hit his back.

As a well-known team member, he lifts the ball and turns his head back and forth to observe the position of his teammates.

After Kobe Bryant cut in, he turned to attack when he landed a beautiful shot.

Bryant caught the ball and misplaced it directly against Billups.

Petrus quickly recovered the basket, and the Rockets were already on guard.

Kobe Bryant faced the double bag and did not pass the ball, but directly chose to make a quick stop and turn back to shoot a jumper.

"Huh!"

The basketball went over the two-man defense and through the net.

Kobe Bryant felt very good as soon as he came up.

Phil Jackson was chewing gum and smiling at this time, it seems that what he said in the pregame interview is about to come true, and Kobe Bryant will obviously feel better tonight than the last game.

The Rockets' offense is still a smooth coordination, but this time Petrus, who received the ball, failed to shoot an open three-pointer, and the rebound was picked up by Odom.

The Lakers pushed back and Bryant made a three-point stop in the fast break.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Kobe Bryant's opening performance was a bit explosive.

The Rockets' offense, Maddy passed the ball to the empty cut Billups, Billups hung the ball inside Yao Ming, Yao Ming turned and shook Gasol hook hand to score.

Looking back, Radmanovic missed an outside three-point shot, Odom rushed to grab the rebound in the front court and gave it to Kobe, who turned over and scored a jumper against Petrus's defense!

Scored 7 points in a row in the opening game!

Three goals, two of which are difficult!

Such a performance is worthy of being the peak Kobe, you must know that he averaged 28.3 points per game in the regular season this season, and since entering the playoffs, this data has soared to 30.6 points!

The last game was actually out of play compared to the season!

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time, made a 5 tactical gesture to the players, and then shouted at Maddie: "More responses!" ”

On the court, in the strong point of the Rockets, Yao Ming and Billups have an advantage in the matchup, but they are not stars, and Maddie has the most advantage against Rademanovic.

Billups advanced to the front court and then handed the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming responded in the high post, and after seeing Maddie's air cut, he immediately flicked his hand and passed the ball over.

After Maddie received the ball, he pressed Radmanovic and rushed directly to the basket.

The Lakers' interior Odom came out to help defend, and Maddy directly chose to shoot a pull-up jump shot.

Radmanovic obviously couldn't keep up, Maddie stopped, and he couldn't stop the car and took two steps back, and even hit Odom who came over.

"Huh!"

Maddie's quick stop hit steadily.

The cheers at the scene shook the sky.

Yao Ming couldn't do it alone in the last game, and now Maddie is back to help!

The Lakers' triangle offense, Radmanovic holds the ball, Gasol blocks one for Kobe, and Kobe catches the ball and then shoots.

"Huh!"

Return in!

This feels hot and hot!

9 to 4, Kobe Bryant is going to play 1 to 5.

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming passed the ball to Maddie again, and after this pass, he directly made a big block for Maddy, blocking Gasol and Radmanovic all.

Maddie quickly retreated to the outside of the three-point line after receiving the ball and made a quick shot directly.

"Huh!"

It was the same crisp sound, and Maddie's three-pointer also scored!

The cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped at all.

The two sides are quite enjoyable to fight in the big battle!

And the key is the confrontation of two outside superstars!

You have the pinnacle department, I have the pinnacle microphone!

The Lakers' offense, Tang Tian signaled to Millsap to assist in defense at this time, Kobe Bryant was caught in the bag, and Odom received the ball on the outside and missed it directly.

On the Rockets' offense, Maddy was also caught by Odom and distributed the ball to the empty cut of Petrus, who also missed a layup.

The defensive intensity on both sides was high, and the role players played iron for a while, and the score was deadlocked for a long time.

The two sides played for more than five minutes, and the Lakers led the Rockets by one point at 12-11.

Phil Jackson couldn't sit still first, he reached out and called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, he didn't let Gasol play again, but directly let everyone else pull away, allowing Kobe to fall on the right high post and hit Petrus.

It's ready to start the easiest and most effective scoring mode in the triangle attack.

Petrus was tough on the front, and Bryant's back-to-back shots didn't advance much.

The strong attack failed, Kobe Bryant directly made a large turn, and Petrus stuck on the right side in advance, but this turned out to be a false move by Kobe, he quickly turned back, and then a backward drift shot.

"Huh!"

Advance again in a chic posture! Kobe Bryant scored his 9th point of the game!

The fans at the scene couldn't sit still, this Kobe Bryant really looks like he's going crazy tonight.

The Rockets' offense, Billups passed the ball to Maddy again, and Kobe Bryant quickly put the defense in place.

At this time, the rest of the Lakers followed very closely, and Maddie took a look and leaned directly on Kobe.

After scoring for a while, Maddie and Kobe Bryant talked to each other directly!
