"The game started, the Rockets served from the backcourt, and it was Gary Payton who held the ball......"

Gary Payton pushed, crossed the halfway line, and suddenly started picking up speed.

Yao Ming pounced on the top of the arc and instantly gave a single block, and then, Gary Payton killed it.

On the other side, Yao Ming raised his right hand high and pulled it to the wing, and soon he received a return pass from Gary Payton.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming directly made a mid-range jumper, and with a bang, scored two points!

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai immediately waved his fist.

In the first half, Yao Ming's mid-range shooting was not good, so the Rockets failed to get too many advantages, just imagine, if Yao Ming's shooting rate in the first half was not 4 of 12, but 6 of 12 or even 8 of 12, 10, the Rockets' lead would obviously be greater.

After all, every time Yao Ming makes a move, there must be an opportunity.

In the first ball of the second half, Yao Ming accurately threw a hollow into the net, and it seemed that Yao Ming's hand was indeed back.

At 48:45, the Rockets led by three points.

The Lakers' offense, they pulled away with all of them, and then the ball was given to Kobe Bryant, who started to play singles, which was one of the few singles he had in the game.

In the face of Wade's defense, he directly tested his back in the middle distance, and then suddenly turned around and raised his hand to lean on Wade.

With a beep, a foul was made.

At the free throw line, Kobe Bryant hit one of two free throws, and the Rockets continued to lead by 2 points.

The Rockets served from the backcourt again, and Wade advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Yao Ming stood in the middle distance, and Wade changed direction sharply on the outside, almost shaking off Kobe.

Although he couldn't get past Kobe Bryant directly, Wade still got a space to break through, and he took a sudden step and went straight to the three-point line.

Yao Ming appeared near the free throw line and gave a pick-and-roll.

Kobe Bryant hurriedly bypassed the cover and cooperated with Karl Malone to contain Wade.

At this time, Wade cooperated through hand-to-hand, and the ball was given to Yao Ming, who hit a mid-range jumper again!

At 50:46, the margin widened to four points.

On the Lakers' offensive round, Derrick Fisher passed the ball to Karl Malone in the low post.

Old Malone singled and forcibly advanced, but Chris Anderson avoided it, and after avoiding Karl Malone's edge, he saw that Karl Malone was about to make a move.

He immediately fought back, using his bounce and flexibility, snapped, and went straight to the front! Rewarded Carl Malone with a hot pot!

The Staples Center was naturally full of exclamations, and in this exclamation, Rick Fox grabbed the basketball and then hit a basket to help the Lakers narrow the two-point gap.

The Rockets' offense, they continued to maintain a high-intensity run in the half.

It was still Yao Ming who took the ball in a high position, and after Yao Ming hit two goals in the opening game, the Lakers defended Yao Ming much more tightly.

As a result, Yao Ming didn't get too good a shot.

Gary Payton came out of the box and instantly opened the middle to the penalty area.

Wade suddenly rushed out from the flank, and the speed was so fast that even Kobe Bryant couldn't keep up with him, and there was a lot of openness in front of him.

So, Yao Ming passed the ball and Wade received the ball.

Then, Wade stepped on the inside circle of the free throw line, and then took another step, holding the ball with both hands, and the whole person jumped wildly, and soon approached the basket, and it was higher than the basket!

With the ball in one hand in his right hand, he slammed the slam dunk!

Bang bang!

The Staples Center was filled with a bang and a wave of scare, followed by a flood of boos as the Rockets bench erupted in frenzied celebration......

……

The Rockets extended the margin to four points again.

Then, Kobe Bryant hit a mid-range single, turned over and jumped, and with a bang, didn't score.

The Rockets grabbed the rebound and tried a wave of fast breaks, but it didn't work.

Gary Payton controlled the ball and waited for Yao Ming to rush to the frontcourt.

Then pass the ball directly!

Yao Ming also shot directly, stepping on the three-point line, and smack!

The ball went in, Yao Ming scored another 2 points, and in the third quarter, he had already scored 6 points in a row, and his hand felt hot!

As a result, the Rockets' lead came to six points.

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal hit hard inside, was hard pressed by Yao Ming, and the next layup was off, and the rebound was directly grabbed by Yao Ming.

Then, the Rockets tried again to counterattack with a fast break, and Yao Ming threw the ball to Wade.

Wade received the ball quickly, and after a flash of lightning and thunder, he quickly rushed to the front court with the ball.

The front court formed a two-on-one, and Qiao Hai stood up all of a sudden, ready to cheer!

Wade hit the penalty area, and Kobe, who was the fastest to retreat, was forced to step forward to delay, but at this time, Wade directly passed a high lob ball over Kobe's head.

In the next second, there was a bang, and there was a loud bang behind Kobe's head!

Ron Artest is already hanging on the hoop!

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle.

On the sidelines, Rick Carlisle couldn't stand it anymore, and he called a timeout directly.

At 48:56, the Rockets led by 8 points in a wave! The difference has been widened!

……

After a timeout, Rick Carlisle reprimanded again and then asked the players on the field to pass the ball to O'Neal.

On the other side, Qiao Hai once again guessed the adjustments that Rick Carlisle might make through analysis and prediction, and then responded: "In the next game, as long as Shaquille O'Neal gets the ball, he will immediately foul him and send him to the free throw line!" ”

……

After the timeout, the game resumed.

Bryant forced the ball, and the more Rick Carlisle asked him to pass the ball to O'Neal, the more he resisted, so the first shot after the timeout, he went straight to his own single.

Rick Carlisle stood on the sidelines and glared at Bryant.

But Kobe Bryant turned his back in the middle distance, pushed two steps, turned over, and with a bang, he actually scored a goal!

Rick Carlisle was also speechless for a moment......

The Rocket's offense, Yao Ming once again took the ball from mid-range, this time in singles.

Facing Karl Malone, who was defending him, Yao Ming pushed a step in with his back and little effect.

But he immediately turned to the right and took a kick, and Malone immediately made up to the right.

Yao Ming had already retracted his steps, and then quickly took a step to the left, and with an acceleration of his short body, Karl Malone was out of position.

In the face of Yao Ming's subsequent layup, Malone directly reached out and pulled it and contributed a foul.

Yao Ming walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws, and the difference returned to 8 points again.

……

Lakers offense, Derrick Fisher possesses the ball.

"Give the ball to Shaq!" Rick Carlisle stood on the sidelines and reminded that he was afraid that Kobe Bryant would pass the ball again.

Carlisle believes that at this moment, the safest way for the Lakers to score is still the strong play of the big shark's inside line, and he doesn't trust Kobe's singles very much.

After trailing by 8 points, at this point, the Lakers are in dire need of scoring.

Derek Fisher quickly found his way and played the ball in.

O'Neal hit the ball twice, and when he turned around to go to the basket, Yao Ming reached out and pulled it.

With a beep, the referee signaled a foul.

Although the number of fouls was not reached, O'Neal made a layup, so O'Neal needed to make free throws.

Two free throws, O'Neal stands on the free throw line.

In front of the Lakers' bench, Rick Carlisle was already frowning.

But when the thud came, Rick Carlisle's deep frown deepened again, and after a while, there was another thud.

"The Rockets grabbed the rebound after missing both free throws, and now they have a chance to extend the margin to double digits!"

The opportunity is in front of him, this offensive round, the Rockets played carefully, the ball went to the frontcourt, Gary Payton organized slowly, obviously, this ball, they are going to play the success rate.

Gary Payton beckoned, and Wade got past Yao Ming's cover and walked inside.

After going around in a circle, Yao Ming also walked inside.

Gary Payton suddenly made a pass to the ground at this time, and he actually found Yao Ming accurately!

Yao Ming raised his hand to shoot about a meter below the basket, and O'Neal immediately waved his arm and hit it hard!

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle and signaled for a foul on O'Neal.

But at the same time, with a bang, Yao Ming's shot went in again!

Two points are scored, and a penalty is added!

Before the penalty was executed, McBrin in the commentary box was already announcing: "At 50:60, the Rockets are already leading by 10 points!" ”

"The second half of the game has just begun, and no one thought that the Rockets would break out in a wave, instantly opening up the difference, a 10-point difference, for the Lakers, this game is already very dangerous......"
