Maybe it's the relationship of training, or maybe it's the relaxation of mentality, Marc Gasol, Scola and Sun Yue played very positively after they went up, even in the face of the three cores of the Lakers, although they couldn't play, they were not suppressed too much in the situation.

The second quarter opened with more than three minutes to go, and the Rockets trailed the Lakers by just four points, 35-39.

Phil Jackson sat on the sidelines chewing gum and chewed crookedly, biting directly on his tongue and biting out blood, covering it with his hand at this time, and went to the team doctor for emergency treatment.

Sun Yue's three-point miss, Mark Gasol forcefully squeezed his brother Pau Gasol to get the offensive rebound, and before the shot was scored, the follow-up Scola clicked to make up for the basket.

The shouts of "defense" in the Staples Center were sparse in a blink of an eye.

This main force plays on the bench, and it stands to reason that it should take advantage of the situation to open the score, but this rocket bench group is stronger than the last game, how to play this!

They turned their heads to look at the Lakers bench, what was the "Zen Master" doing with the team doctor with his hands covering his face!

Jackson took care of the wound, but he still didn't mean to change the three cores.

In the end, Kobe, Gasol and Odom played the entire first half, but the Lakers did not get the advantage they imagined, and the two teams went from 30 in the first quarter to 60 at the end of the half.

Phil Jackson is smashing the main force to death, using half court as physical recovery time.

However, fans don't think too much about it, and as the Lakers and Rockets played five or five at halftime, their emotions were also quite high.

Coming back in the second half, the three cores of the Lakers played the entire third quarter, and the score on the court also rose alternately.

Looking at Kobe Bryant, who was panting and gritting his teeth when defending, although he was not on the first team, Tang Tian felt a little sorry for him.

When there were more than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, Tang Tian replaced the main force on the court and played the final decisive stage.

At this time, the score on the court was 96-93, and the Rockets led by three points.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant played the whole game, Gasol and Odom only had less than 2 minutes of rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were normal people, and they could see the tiredness on their faces.

Playing the whole court at the intensity of the NBA playoffs, you can imagine how much physical exertion there is.

The Rockets' offense, Yao Ming responded in a high position, and the main force of the Rockets was full of physical strength, and at this time, the Lakers players who were playing with infinite air were trembling on the soles of their feet.

Maddie sped away from Kobe Bryant and rushed straight to the basket.

Yao Ming understood and threw the ball directly into the air.

Gasol's excellent sense of smell sensed the Rockets' intentions, but the pace couldn't keep up with the thoughts, and Maddie jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket in front of him.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound.

After the dunk, Maddie swung around the basket before coming down.

The scene was in an uproar.

"Luke, the one who is following you!" Phil Jackson couldn't blame the three main forces at this time, standing on the sidelines and shouting at Wharton.

Wharton looked helpless, he had already been blocked by the Rockets.

On the Lakers' offense, Gasol held the ball in the high post, although he was almost conceded by Yao Mingding several times, but he gritted his teeth and resisted.

Kobe Bryant held his breath and rushed to the basket, Gasol put the ball in, Kobe Bryant took the ball against Petrus and forced it, and when he shot, he didn't stand on his feet and lay down on the court.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows for a defensive foul on Petrus.

Bryant was lying there panting violently, and Wharton and Fisher went over to pull several handfuls without pulling them up.

In the end, Kobe Bryant stood up on his own, and it seemed that he took the opportunity to rest for a while while lying down.

Bryant walked to the free throw line, wiped his sweat and hit two free throws to help the Lakers tighten the score.

The Rockets' round is still Maddy, but this time he uses Millsap's block to break through.

Kobe Bryant barely followed, but Maddie made an abrupt stop, his feet were weak, and the whole person fell straight backwards.

The scene was in an uproar.

"Huh!"

Maddie shook Kobe Bryant and scored on a jumper.

Phil Jackson shook his head with his hands on his head.

The Lakers' offense, the Rockets' defense is very dead, Gasol does not have a good passing opportunity, he plays directly with his back against Yao Ming.

After a series of turns, he directly made a half-hook hand.

However, at the moment of the shot, Yao Ming had already predicted, and his big hand directly fanned his shot.

Gasol was softened by Yao Ming's feet and fell directly to the ground.

The scene was full of sighs.

First Kobe, then Gasol, the performance of these two rounds shows that their physical fitness is really to the limit.

The Lakers sent the sideline ball, Kobe Bryant handled it simply on the outside, and missed Petrus's three-point strong shot, and the Rockets collected the defensive rebound.

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time and made a tactical gesture to Billups to attack the basket.

Billups advanced to the front court and directly let Yao Ming sit in the low post to play Gasol.

Gasol and Yao Ming belong to the same technical stream, and they don't suffer too much in the alignment, but the premise is that the physical fitness of both sides is about the same, and at this time, the two people are not at the same level at all in terms of physical fitness.

This is just the beginning, after Tang Tian's instructions, Yao Ming took advantage of your illness to kill you, and continued to play strongly under the basket, the Lakers were afraid of Yao Ming's passing ability and did not dare to wrap up, this is a dozen and one accurate.

The last half quarter or so did not become the decisive moment that fans imagined, and the exhausted Lakers players had little power to parry against the main force of the Rockets.

In the end, the Rockets went 111-100 on the road to extend the series' total to 2-1.

At the post-game press conference, Phil Jackson was a little slurred because he bit his tongue during the game, and left the court in the middle of the interview.

In contrast, Tang Tian on the Rockets' side was smiling and answered reporters' questions fluently.

"The Lakers stuck with the main lineup, but the Rockets continued to use rotation players off the bench, wouldn't you worry about the team falling behind or collapsing?" The press conference has been going on for a long time, and the reporters' questions have become more and more detailed.

"Of course not, I trust my players, they have proven themselves in the regular season." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"What if I said that?" The reporter asked.

"Of course, that's possible, but even then, I won't keep them from playing, it's a whole series after all, and I don't want my main players to be tired and weak, because that means they won't be able to talk to their wives when they go back at night, especially since there are people on our team who have just gotten married." Tang Tian said seriously.

After saying this, the reporters below suddenly burst into laughter.

Yao Ming even laughed into a big embarrassment, the person who just got married obviously refers to him.
