The Rockets attacked, and Hakeem Olajuwon finally got the ball once, and he forced a shot against O'Neal's defense to pull back 2 points.

Despite being 36 years old, Hakeem Olajuwon is still the Rockets' top scorer, averaging 18.9 points per game this season, and Olajuwon has scored 2.5 points more than last season in a difficult shrinking season.

The same goes for Charles Barkley, who averaged 15.2 points per game last season and has risen to 16.1 points this season.

Although Eddie Jones, who joined later, gradually became the Rockets' first offensive option, he averaged only 17.2 points per game, which was lower than Olajuwon.

Therefore, the Rockets' offensive first choice is still Hakim Olajuwon, and when the game can't open the situation, the Rockets will still give the ball to Olajuwon and let Olajuwon solve the problem alone.

Big Dream hit a ball, O'Neill naturally couldn't bear it, he opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Scott Pippen gave the ball straight over.

In the one-on-one duel between the two super centers, O'Neal first took the ball in the frame, and in the face of Hakim Olajuwon's defense with open arms, O'Neal turned directly, leaned on Olajuwon, and squeezed back.

Olajuwon pushed forward strongly, but when O'Neal chiseled backwards for the second time, Olajuwon was a little unbearable, and with continuous strong hits, O'Neal gave full play to his physical advantages, and the aging Olajuwon couldn't stand it directly.

O'Neal opened his big dream, turned around, took a step towards the basket, jumped up, and bang!

With a bang, the Lakers are another violent dunk!

7:4。

The Rocket's offense, they are still playing slowly, in Qiao Hai's view, the Rocket's offense is very sluggish, and in the absence of organized players, they can only look for opportunities through the singles of star players, and their offense is even more difficult when they forcibly control the rhythm.

With another 24 seconds to play, Eddie Jones raised his hand to shoot near the end of offensive time.

With a bang, the shot that barely hit the shot, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers broke fast.

Kobe Bryant dribbled to the front court, his speed was very fast, and he rushed directly to the front of everyone, so Kobe Bryant didn't pass the ball, rushed into the three-point line, and directly supported the ball to the basket.

Swish! The goal is scored, and another 2 points are scored!

"The Lakers launched a fast-break counterattack again, Kobe Bryant is very fast, the Lakers have launched a fast-break counterattack many times in this game, and in the case of Shaquille O'Neal, they are still insisting on a fast-break counterattack, which is surprising, but the effect of this play is very good, the Lakers have scored 4 points because of the fast-break counterattack, and they only scored 9 points in total, and the fast-break counterattack has accounted for almost half of the scores."

McBrin made an analysis, and Mav Albert also took over: "That's right, almost all the opportunities obtained by the fast break counterattack are easy scoring opportunities, and after seizing such opportunities, the Lakers can always score easily." ”

On the court, Kobe Bryant has gradually suppressed Eddie Jones, and the Rockets' outside offense can't find a chance at all, so they can only give the ball to the inside line one at a time, and let the interior duo Charles Barkley and Olajuwon take the ball to solve the problem.

The Rockets' offense was inefficient, and the Rockets scored just 17 points at the end of the first quarter.

The Lakers' offense played well, Kobe Bryant was in good shape, not only defending Eddie Jones on the defensive end, but also scoring 10 points on the offensive end, O'Neal also scored 9 points, OK teamed up to score 19 points, and the Lakers ended the first quarter with a 7-point lead of 24:17.

In the second quarter, the Rockets directly adjusted, giving up the rhythm on the court, and Olajuwon, who played a full quarter in the first quarter, was replaced and led by Charles Barkley, directly disrupting the game.

Rudy Tomjanovic already has some meaning to give it a go, although the Rockets have been controlling the rhythm in the first quarter, but the court has been suppressed, and the Rockets are also behind by as many as 7 points.

The rocket has several masters of chaos, and there may be a chance to fight the chaos.

Qiao Hai's thinking is different from Rudy Tomjanovic's, in Qiao Hai's view, no matter how the Rockets adjust and how they are arranged, as long as the Lakers play at their own pace, focus on the triangle offense, and create one-on-one singles opportunities for O'Neal, Kobe and Scott Pippen.

And seized the opportunity to quickly counterattack after grabbing the defensive rebound, and killed Eddie Jones on the defensive end, and put the inside double old singles.

Even if the Lakers fell behind in the first two quarters, they could catch up in the second half, and in terms of physical fitness, the Lakers with a more reasonable age structure were undoubtedly better.

What's more, now the Lakers are still ahead, suppressing the Rockets in the first quarter.

Just go down and the victory will soon be in the bag.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers continued to suppress the Rockets, and Charles Barkley and Catino Mobley scored back-to-back points in a chaotic battle.

The Lakers directly focused on Scott Pippen and Kobe Bryant in the second quarter, relying on the scores of Scott Pippen and Kobe, the Lakers tied with the Rockets in the first half of the quarter, but in the second half, the Lakers switched back to O'Neal, relying on O'Neal's outburst, and the Lakers extended their lead by 4 points in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Lakers led the Rockets by 11 points, 50-39.

At the end of the half, the Rockets were already consumed, and the inside duo forced all kinds of singles to drag the team forward.

However, in the second half, the scoring efficiency of the huge interior duo was greatly reduced in the second half, but the Lakers relied on reasonable rotation to continue to maintain a strong second quarter.

O'Neal scored in the third quarter, and in the first half, facing Olajuwon, he almost played an equal match with Olajuwon, O'Neal forced Olajuwon to score 16 points in the half, and Olajuwon also scored 14 points in the half.

But in the second half, Olajuwon consumed a lot of energy, and in the face of O'Neal's continuous strong play, Olajuwon could not withstand it.

O'Neill scored one after another, and he showed the evil anger of the first half, and directly broke Hakim Olajuwon in the second half.

After three quarters, O'Neal scored 25 points and 10 rebounds, while Hakeem Olajuwon barely scored 19 points and 7 rebounds in the third quarter, and the Lakers had a clear advantage in the center position.

However, in the shooting guard position, the Lakers have a greater advantage.

Kobe Bryant scored 22 points in the third quarter, while Eddie Jones scored only 11 points, and the gap was opened by the outside players, and Kobe Bryant proved that he was better than Eddie Jones with his excellent performance.

The Lakers led by 22 points in the third quarter, and the Rockets had collapsed.

The Lakers played wave after wave of climaxes, and the cheers on the sidelines also came one after another, and Qiao Hai just stood on the sidelines, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the timer beeped, and the game ended, and the Lakers easily won the playoffs with 112:91!
