The Rockets' pre-game mobilization was very effective, and it was clear from the hard work of the players that they were ready for the fierce battle of Game 4.

After a two-day offseason, the fourth series between the Rockets and Jazz kicked off in Salt Lake City.

Unlike the previous three games, the Jazz had a closed training session before the game this time and refused to be interviewed by the media.

It's an attitude on the part of the team that, after losing their first three games, they have no way back.

Unable to interview the Jazz, the reporters naturally turned their guns to the Rockets.

To their surprise, the Rockets, who had kept a low profile before, showed unprecedented confidence this time, and the players were unanimous in tone, all bluntly saying that they wanted to end the series in Salt Lake City.

On the one hand, he was destined to die, and on the other hand, he was determined to win, and before the game began, it was already possible to foresee that this would be an unprecedented fierce battle.

Alexander the owner of the Rockets also appeared in the front row of the audience, and the boss, who is in his sixties, is cheering for the Rockets in his way.

"Guys, go get this game."

The game started immediately, and Tang Tian shouted at the players at the end.

"Victory!"

The team members shouted with their hands held high.

The Rockets kept their starting lineup, while the Jazz replaced Fisher with Sharplin, who was better defensively.

"Toot!"

With the referee's whistle, the game between the two sides officially began.

As soon as it began, there was a near-explosive sound of interference at the scene.

In the midst of a desperate situation, Salt Lake City fans are even crazier.

This madness also affected the field, and from the beginning, the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

More physical confrontations, more aggressive rushing, and frantic pressing, the Jazz players were completely stumbling.

However, the Rockets players also showed their toughness, one player was knocked down, got up and immediately crashed back, and a foul was made here, and he responded immediately when he turned around.

The sound of muscle confrontation was drowned out by the earth-shattering sound of the scene, and only the players in it knew what a crazy game it was.

The two sides fought for each other without giving in, and Sloan and Tang Tian also yelled at the field from time to time to remind the players.

The anxiety continued, and the margin fluctuated in the single digits until less than 30 seconds left before the end of the game, and the two sides were tied at 92.

The Jazz offense, Sloan is nervously arranging the final tactics.

The fans were also nervous like never before, and this was the first time the home team had a chance to win the series.

"The Jazz will definitely play the pick-and-roll in the next round, Paul, you have to keep up with Boozer, if the others encounter a pick-and-roll without the ball, they must change the defense quickly, this is their last chance, keep this ball, and the victory is ours."

Tang Tian drew on the tactical board quickly as he spoke, unlike Pat Riley he had met before, Jerry Sloan was a very stable coach, and the probability of success would be much greater for this point of defense.

Coming back from a timeout, the Jazz serve in the backcourt.

After DeLong dribbled to the frontcourt, he did not rush to attack, but held the ball with his back to Blake and pressed time on the outside.

As time passed, the emotions of the fans at the scene became more and more restless, and almost the fans in the entire stadium stood up from their seats, their eyes fixed on the field.

When the time of the attack entered 10 seconds, Delon finally attacked.

He turned around and broke through with a change of direction.

At the same time as he broke through, Boozer moved quickly from the inside.

A classic inside and outside pick-and-roll!

Tang Tian's judgment was correct!

DeLong broke through the basket with the ball, and after meeting Battier's help defense, he returned the ball and gave the ball directly to Boozer.

The bench of the Rockets on the sidelines was boiling, and the Jazz's offense was completely predicted by Tang Tian!

Boozer was immediately confronted by Millsap's tight defense after receiving the ball, and he didn't have a chance to shoot!

And at the same time, the other points of the Rocket team also changed defenses infinitely, completely choking the other points!

The scene was noisy, and the Jazz were completely restrained on the court!

Time was ticking by, and seeing that the time for the attack was approaching, Boozer could only attack.

He chose to turn and lean back, his long arms pulling the ball high, but he couldn't get rid of Millsap in front of him.

The ball was almost grazed with Millsap's fingertips.

A difficult shot!

"Bang!"

The ball hit the rebound, causing an exclamation from the fans.

However, the basketball bounced and landed straight towards the basket.

This ball, bounced in!

94 to 92!

The Jazz took the most crucial lead!

The cheers at the scene exploded instantly.

"Incredible! That's what a star is capable of! Mike Brin, who was commentator at the scene, couldn't help but exclaim.

The Rockets' defense was perfect, but in the end, luck was on the Jazz's side.

Alexander's breath on the sidelines was stagnant, the ball was too deadly.

The Rockets' players were also a little depressed, and the situation was almost fatal to the team's morale.

"Well done, well done, God is fair, luck is on our side in the next round." Tang Tian said loudly to the players who were leaving.

Hearing Tang Shuai's words, the frustration on the faces of the team members obviously recovered a lot.

"Steve, you're ready to play." Tang Tian then stretched out his hand and pointed at Novak.

……

"And the last eight seconds, Reggie, do you think the Rockets will end up playing a two-point or a three-pointer?" Brin then turned his head to look at his commentator partner Reggie Miller.

"Three points, playing overtime is very bad for the Rockets who are playing away, and the Rockets have three match points, they have the capital to gamble, and of course, the most important point, you see, Novak is ready to play." Miller said with a smile.

Brin turned his head to look at this and noticed this as well.

Novak hit a heart-wrenching three-pointer against the Heat in the regular season, and the commentary for that game was Brin and Miller, so the moment they saw Novak play, they all understood.

"But...... Wouldn't that be too obvious? Brin followed.

Miller paused, then nodded thoughtfully.

Sloan is a famous coach in the NBA, and he is the kind that is very strict with himself, he must have seen Novak's game against the Heat, and the current Novak is not the unexpected bench fringe wonder in the regular season, but a regular rotation player for the Rockets.

Such an arrangement is so obvious that the probability of the Rockets trying to play the tactic that they did at the beginning is very low.
