With Sun Yue completing this unguarded fast-break dunk, the time of the first half was also over, and no one expected the Hawks to enter the halftime break with a 61-52 lead.

"Jeff. It's time for Van Gundy to pull a small note out of the pocket of his jacket. "Bill. Wharton joked that this little old man with a shiny head is famous all over the league, except for being the head coach of the Knicks holding Mourning's thighs, he always stands on the sidelines with his brows locked, and according to the situation on the court, he takes out small notes from his suit pocket from time to time, and then gives instructions to the players.

"Van Gundy was too old-fashioned, he didn't trust his new players easily, he relied only on old guns, and he was too poor in command on the spot, often making wrong judgments at crucial moments, which led to the team losing the game." Rick. Barry's spicy comments are also a big signature of CBS TV.

Unlike the two commentators in the United States, the two commentators at CCAV focused on the performance of the two Chinese players.

Xu Jicheng asked: "Coach Zhang, could you please briefly comment on the performance of the two teams and the two Chinese players in the first half." ”

Zhang Weiping: "The Eagles played very reasonably in the first half, shooting inside and outside, playing very reasonable, Sun Yue broke into the Rockets and had to make up for the defense, which restrained more than half of Yao Ming's defensive attention, and then he divided others, so that other people have a hit rate, and such a team is difficult to defend." ”

And the outside line of the Rockets played too poorly today, and they couldn't give Yao Ming strong support at all. If the rocket wants to catch it back, it has to look at Yao Ming, and it must hit Yao Ming more. ”·

When the game restarted in the second half, the conservative Van Gundy actually played a double-center tactic, Mutombo and Yao Shu stood on the court at the same time, and when the two towering mountains of one yellow and one black stood in the penalty area, the Eagles were in big trouble.

The Eagles fell into positional offense, Sun Yue's pass began to struggle to play a lethal effect, and the Rockets players formed a well-packed defensive net, and Mutombo showed his housekeeping skills to Josh, who dared to offend the penalty area he guarded. Smith and Al. Harrington was shaking his fingers on the basketball court with a big hat on his shoulder.

And the Rockets' offense has also changed, and the halftime moment does not know what Van Gundy fed Maddy with chicken soup for the soul, and Maddy began to incarnate as a playmaker.

When a two-time scoring champion like Maddie starts to organize, it's hard to cut off his ball.

And to add insult to injury, Yao Shu quickly echoed in the restricted area, although his back single did not add assist stats for Maddie, but the Rockets found a suitable channel for them to move forward.

The duo began to take over the ball and the game, and the other role players played their roles around Yao Mai, and the Rockets exerted great power to recover the trailing score left in the first half until they overtook it.

Woodson was not dead set on either, seeing the team's interior offense in a hurry, he simply replaced Josh in the middle of the third quarter. Smith, Jean Al. Harrington stepped into the power forward position.

See Al. Harrington walked on, especially his shiny head reminded Sun Yue of a person: Carlos. Boozer, in the 7 playoff games of the Rockets vs. Jazz in 06-07, Yao Ming couldn't defend Boozer at all. Carlos, who was replaced by Boozer and Delon. Williams' pick-and-roll offense went completely insane.

Deron and Boozer stayed on the outside after the block, Yao Ming was slow, and if he was out of the paint zone then Boozer had an advantage in speed to break through. If you don't get out of the paint zone, you shoot from a distance, and the Houstonians are overturned in the first round of the playoffs with a two-game lead.

Thinking of this, Sun Yue hurriedly pulled his teammates and whispered something on the side.

Harrington has always looked down on this little white face from China, and he also ignores his tactical command Harrington, but this time Sun Yue proposed to block and dismantle himself to create a large number of singles opportunities, which made Harrington, who loves scoring data, forget his contempt for Sun Yue all of a sudden, and nodded again and again in agreement.

Under the referee's urging whistle, after the game restarted, Sun Yue and Al . Harrington frequently blocked and dismantled at the top of the arc, "Eh, I didn't play according to the positioning and covering three-point tactics we arranged during the timeout." Assistant coach Carl couldn't help but shout at a few players on the pitch who didn't follow the tactics. Woodson waved at him, he wanted to see what tactics Sun Yue was going to play, because he knew that Sun Yue was a player with a high basketball IQ and strict team discipline.

Pick-and-roll tactics let Al be dismantled. Harrington became the Eagles' offensive starting point and passing point. He took Yao Shu's defense out of the penalty area, and at the same time liberated Sun Yue, allowing Sun Yue to easily become a setter.

When Harrington's offensive opportunity was not good, he passed the basketball to Sun Yue, who was able to quickly speed up the rotation rate of the basketball and pass it to the bottom corner of the three-point line in an incredible way, or deep in the restricted area, several players on the Hawks. Johnson, Childis, Pachulia benefited greatly.

"I have to say, Coach Van Gundy should call a timeout." This is no longer Bill. Wharton said this for the first time from the commentary stand.

However, Jeff on the sidelines. Van Gundy is still clapping his palms loudly, reminding the Rockets how to run and how to defend. Van Gundy's stubbornness in employing people and tactics is sometimes puzzling.

While the Rockets have had big problems on the defensive end, they are still excellent on the offensive end, with their two offensive origins consistently maintaining a strong firepower.

Yao Ming and Maddy both trankled their Hawks players on the offensive end, and by the end of the third quarter, both had already scored more than 20 points, and if there were no accidents, both could have scored 30 points before the end of the game.

Even so, in the El. Harrington's outside shot and inside burst in, Sun Yue's needle lead, the Eagles have caught up with the trailing points, and there is a tendency to extend their lead.

With 30 minutes left in the third quarter, Jeff. Van Gundy finally called a timeout.

"Thank goodness, Jeff. Is Van Gundy finally willing to use his precious little note? "Bill. Wharton said humorously.

Next to Rick. Barry flipped through the stats: "Al. Harrington has scored a game-high 25 points, and Van Gundy's stubbornness is incomprehensible, and now I can expect to score more than 20 points when I go to play in a suit and leather shoes. ”
