Terry dribbled to the frontcourt, and Nowitzki went to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll.

One gear and one dismantle, Nowitzki received the ball and hit the basket, and turned back to score under the bag of Yi Jianlian and Artest.

The Rockets attacked, Yao Mai was still the focus of the call, but this time Billups stepped up, he deceived Barria with a feint after blocking the pick-and-roll, and scored a low-handed layup.

In terms of ability and experience alone, the strength of the Rockets team is obviously stronger except for Yao Mai.

Coming back, Terry and Nowitzki played another block, this time Terry went inside and Nowitzki went outside.

Terry broke through to the inside and split the ball outside, and Nowitzki received the ball and hit a solo shot from Maddy's turnaround golden rooster.

At the critical moment, King Nuo stepped forward.

There was a stir at the scene, and such a stalemate made people feel a little uneasy.

However, Tang Tian did not get up again or call a timeout.

Maintaining this point difference is not a disadvantage for the Rockets.

After Nowitzki stepped up, the Mavericks held the situation deadlocked, and the margin between the two sides fluctuated by about 15 points.

When it was more than 10 minutes old, the two sides successively replaced the substitutes.

On the Rockets' side, Artest and Maddy were left behind, and Billups, Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. were retained.

On the Mavericks' side, Terry and Bass stayed on the court, while Dampier and Kidd and Antoine White came on.

On both sides there were three main players with two substitutes, and there were only two young players on the pitch.

Coming up to the Mavericks' offense, Kidd controlled the court, and Terry borrowed Dampier to block and dismantle it, and received the ball with a three-point quick shot.

Yi Jianlian's defense was very timely and successfully interfered with his shot.

"Bang!"

Terry's three-pointer missed, and the rebound was picked up by Jordan Jr.

Billups took the ball to the front court, looked for Jordan Jr. to block and dismantle, broke through the basket to attract the bag and then split Maddy, Maddie received the ball, waited for White to come over and accelerated, ate the opponent's center of gravity was unstable, and directly stopped and pulled out his hand.

"Huh!"

Maddie's shot goes in!

The cheers from the audience rose again.

"Defend! Defend! ”

Kidd stretched out his hand to signal the players to steady, but could feel that the players on the field were a little panicked.

Terry picked up Bass to block and dismantle, the Rockets strangled Terry's catch, and Kidd accurately passed the ball to Buss.

Bass hesitated to receive the ball, and Artest immediately made up for it.

There was a cheer from the audience.

Carlisle was holding his forehead for a while.

In this kind of high-intensity competition, opportunities are fleeting.

The Mavericks didn't seize the opportunity, Kidd hit a hasty three-pointer at the end, and Yi Jianlian collected the defensive rebound.

The ball was given to Billups, Billups was not in a hurry, the ball went to the frontcourt, he looked for Maddie again, Maddie burst to the bottom corner Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian made a decisive three-point shot.

The cheers of the audience have exploded.

During this period of bench time, the Rockets directly beat the Mavericks 7-0!

Once again, the margin was widened to less than 20 points.

On the last attack of the third quarter, Kidd sent a second pass, but White's three-point shot was significantly shorter.

When the interjunctive whistle blew, Kidd shook his head helplessly.

At the same time, Kidd's ability to control the game may have been even better than Lupus, but the result was that the Rockets pulled the score back to 20 points.

This is very revealing.

Whether it's a starter or a bench, the Mavericks don't have an advantage at all.

Carlisle also looked helpless, he is a typical clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice.

"The Rockets are a bit of a bully in this rotation." After seeing Kidd and Carlisle's expressions, Brin said with some indignation.

This fight, Jordan Jr. and Yi Jianlian, comparing Buzz and White of the Mavericks, really responded to the sentence "no comparison, no harm".

"Isn't that also a coach's ability?" Miller said with a smile.

Brin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

Every player has his strengths and weaknesses, strengths and weaknesses.

Before the start of the season, Yi Jianlian was generally considered to rely on the space of the Chinese market, and Jordan Jr. was just a jumping man, and even the strongest reinforcement Artest was rarely talked about in the trading market because of personality problems.

But no matter who it was, when it came to the Rocket team, they were trained by Tang Tian for a while, and they all played the strongest performance.

This is also one of the qualities of the manager.

Tactics are one thing, Carlisle is a master of tactics, but in terms of player training and motivation, he and Tang Tian are not at the same level at all.

Take Barria, who previously played for the Rockets, and also played brilliantly.

"Speaking of which, I remembered a rumor that Tang Tian wanted to sign Matt Barnes in the offseason, but then he didn't sign for some reason, Barnes is the seventh or eighth man in the Suns this season, and if it is taken by ......the Rockets," Brin said here and stopped.

"Yes, including the Rockets management traded the team's sixth man, Marc Gasol, for the Grizzlies' first-round pick, if Mark is still with the Rockets, if Tang Tian has more say in player changes......" Even Miller also stopped after saying a few words.

"Then the league can award the Rockets a third championship trophy in advance!" Brin answered in the affirmative.

That kind of Rocket team is really terrifying to think about, the whole team has 12 people, all of them have rotation strength, it's scary to think about.

Coming back in the fourth quarter, the opening game played more than two minutes, and the Mavericks went straight to 30 points away.

Carlisle finally lost his desire to be the main force.

Although it was a playoffs, it was a series after all, and he didn't want his players to waste their energy in vain.

In the end, the Rockets were in full swing and defeated the Mavericks 127-98.

Yao Ming had 26 points, 14 points and 8 assists, Maddy had 28 points and 7 rebounds, Artest had 20 points and 6 boards, Yi Jianlian had 17 points and 7 boards, and Billups had 10 points and 13 assists......

Seven of the Rockets scored double-doubles and played more points.

127 points, also the highest score for each team since the playoffs.

Don't underestimate the 127 points, the defensive intensity in '09, and the bombardment of a team like the Suns, may not be able to score such a score.

This game also made the league realize the horror of this team.

In particular, the Nuggets and Hornets, who may become the next round opponents of the Rockets, shivered.

But that's not all, the Lakers faced the Jazz behind the Rockets, and they were also stronger, leading by 20 points at the end of the third quarter, and the Jazz surrendered early, but they still fought to the death, and the result was also a high score of 125 points.

As a competitor, Tang Tian also watched the video of this game later, and he couldn't cry or laugh after watching it.

Phil Jackson: This is a child's temper!

But just play it, for the Rockets, the more the Lakers do this, the more beneficial the Rockets will be.
