The NBA game is not just about fighting on paper, but every game has a winner or loser.

The Rockets' bench is obviously the biggest winner and loser of the two teams.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Bryant on the court.

Kobe Bryant still feels the same after he re-enters the game, but the strong offense can't change the team's defensive problems, Kobe Bryant went to top Maddy, but the Lakers were a bit miserable at other points.

Gasol played tougher than his brother on the inside, and after Sun Yue expanded the space, Scola also used the cool Argentine footsteps to frequently play Odom, poor Odangdang has not stopped for a minute now, and his lack of physical strength was played as a monkey.

The two teams alternated scores, and for a moment the score was deadlocked.

This situation is obviously what Tang Tian wants to see.

In the last game, the Rockets lost in addition to Kobe's excellent performance in the last quarter, Yao Ming and Billups were too physically exerted in the first three quarters was also an important reason.

Sure enough, in the second half, Kobe Bryant fought hard to finish the third quarter, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson didn't dare to let him play again, and Odom and Gasol also continued to play because of the great physical exertion, and the Rockets' bench group took advantage of the situation to open the score.

In the final decisive moment, the Rockets held a 10-point lead and the main team was full of physical strength, while the Lakers from Kobe Bryant to Gasol to Odom were out of breath every step after running, and the game was not finished but the winners and losers were divided.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Lakers 112-96 to win the second game of the series, and the overall score of the series was tied at 1-1.

Kobe Bryant scored 42 points in the game, but to no avail, Maddy scored 37 points on the Rockets' side, Yao Ming scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and the whole team of six scored double-doubles.

In the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson left the court without saying a word.

It's not terrible to lose, it's scary to be caught by the opponent in the soft underbelly, and if you can't find a way to deal with it in the next game, the Hornets who were eliminated by the Rockets in the last round are a lesson from the past.

The players of the Rocket team shouted excitedly in the locker room after the game, especially Maddie, who danced directly in the locker room after having fun.

Returning to the coach's office with a smile, Tang Tian then took out the national team's squad and looked at it.

Phil Jackson isn't Popovich, he's not a coach who is good at adjusting, and judging by his performance throughout his career, the biggest adjustment is probably to increase the playing time of a few key players.

Although the Olympics are in August, they are also imminent, and he has to put things on the table first when he has time.

Center: Yao Ming.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Li Xiaoxu, Zhang Kai.

Small forwards: Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Lei, Du Feng, Xu Yong, Zhou Peng, Ding Jinhui.

Scoring guards: Wang Shipeng, Zhang Qingpeng.

Point guards: Liu Xiaoyu, Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei, Sun Yue.

The list in hand was released as early as March, and the people on the list began training as early as March.

Looking at this familiar list, Tang Tian shook his head helplessly.

Although Sun Yue has made great progress in the Rocket team, and Yao Ming has also developed all his response skills, such a lineup has no special system, and it is still a bit reluctant to break through the quarterfinals.

And in this squad, Yao Ming has no substitutes at all, and he especially remembers the scene when Yao Ming beat Spain and collapsed at the Olympics that year.

After looking at it for a while, Tang Tian didn't have any thoughts for the time being, and then put down the list.

The training plan he asked Thibodeau to give Li Yuanwei before, the main thing in it is Cole's three-point training method, I hope it can have some effect in the past two months.

Putting the list aside first, Tang Tian got up and left the office.

The next game was at the Staples Center, and in just two days, he had to go back and pack his personal belongings or something.

When I passed by the locker room, I found that there were still several players who had not left, and they were whispering something, and I couldn't hear it clearly.

Tang Tian's brows furrowed.

Last season, the team had a smooth ride before the playoffs in the Western Conference finals, but in the end, Maddie and Alston stole the bar, is this season still coming?

He stood at the door for a moment and saw that there were Maddie, Sun Yue, Gasol and Scola inside, all of whom were players in the rotation.

When the team members were about to come out, he walked down the aisle behind him.

The players shouted and walked out, looking excited.

Keeping a distance behind him, following the players out of the stadium, and then looking at the direction they were going, Tang Tian was stunned for a while.

They went to a training gym!

The gap is to describe a person's emotional change from joy to sadness, Tang Tian was just the opposite at this time, he didn't hold back, and smiled.

"Don't you just practice more, it's so exciting." Tang Tian shook his head, but he was happy in his heart, and left with a smile.

There was a muffled thud in the training hall, and the group of guys began to practice.

The finals in the West are hot, but the East has just started, the Celtics fought seven games with the Hawks in the first round, and the second round with the Cavaliers to tie seven, which is really surprising.

Everyone seems to think they've watched a fake Eastern Conference playoffs, and the Celtics seem to be playing far weaker in the playoffs than they thought.

Two days later, just as the Celtics and Pistons kicked off Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Rockets flew to Los Angeles for Game 3 against the Lakers.

The Purple and Gold have one of the league's most glorious history, with 14 championship flags hanging above the arena, which is the biggest incentive for fans and players who play for the team.

That night, the Staples Center was packed, and the team's number one fan, actor Jack Nicholson, deliberately chose a red tie to get the Lakers off to a good start on their home court.

The two teams were in a state of anxiety as soon as the game began.

Kobe Bryant continued the excellent feel of the previous game, and Maddy on the Rockets' side was also-for-tat.

The two teams played a fast quarter and played a 30-all.

Both sides entered the rotation one after another, and at this time the Lakers made changes in the rotation.

Sure enough, as Tang Tian guessed, the biggest change came from the playing time of the main force.

The Big Three of Kobe, Gasol, and Odom all stayed on the court, and only role players like Fisher and Radmanovic were replaced.

This is also Phil Jackson's usual urine.

On the other hand, on the Rockets' side, Maddie and Yao Ming were replaced by Tang Tian early and went to rest, and Billups was playing with a group of benches during this period.
