The Rockets called a timeout first, but the Lakers changed more of their lineup, and their five players on the court became: Van Exel, Starks, Finley, Zhang Mao, and Mutombo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Barkley was thrown to death by Tang Shuai in front of Zhang Mao after a timeout, and now the Rockets can only choose to continue to drain the veteran's physical strength.

Zhang Mao did not make a provocative remark after returning to the game, but it could be seen from the ill-intentioned eyes on his face that he was very satisfied with the result of Barkley coming to defend himself, which was originally what he wanted to do next, and now that the other party sent it to the door, it was the best.

Barkley is a little empty in his heart, a player like Zhang Qiu is unprecedented in history, he feels that this guy is an enlarged version of his body, and he is afraid that this old bone is about to be knocked apart.

That's what Zhang Yu thinks, and that's what he does, so he won't play with Barkley, this kind of old guy is not afraid of any feints, their experience is enough for them to deal with all kinds of dazzling plays, but when it comes to his speed and power flow, or the pure speed flow of rookie Iverson, they can basically only defend with their eyes.

Barkley has been standing very far back in defense this time, but Zhang Qian didn't shoot at all, but still plunged into it, and the two were a little unstable after a body contact.

Although the big butt is old, it is still stronger than most of the young No. 3 and 4 positions, and there are not many players who can resist Zhang Mao's first wave of charges.

But then, the speed at which the two recovered their center of gravity showed a difference, Zhang Fu's body just shook slightly, and immediately stabilized his body and re-accelerated to change direction, while Barkley needed more time to stabilize the balance of his body, and when he adjusted his body, Zhang Qian had already started to complete the change of direction, and Barkley could only chase from behind.

Olajuwon hurriedly came up to trap the trap, and although Barkley was thrown away, he successfully bought Olajuwon time to make up the defense, so that the two could attack the little bastard back and forth.

Zhang Qian said that it was not that he didn't want to score, but that he wanted to kill Barkley and Olajuwon alone, which was beyond his ability, and it was not impossible to force a shot at the moment, but it was strange that the efficiency was high, so he passed the ball again.

Starks received a pass on the wing and started with an 18-foot jumper, and Zhang's 15th assist was so easy to get his hands on.

"That's awesome!"

Zhang Yi said that the biggest advantage of this Starks is that he dares to shoot, of course, the disadvantage is that he dares to shoot too much, but as long as there is an opportunity to pass the ball to his hands, even if he shoots 0 in 5 before, he dares to make a decisive shot, and throwing it is an assist from Zhang Zhu, regardless of whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage, he is the best helper to brush data.

Tang Shuai began to scratch his head in his heart, although Zhang Wei didn't score much today, but once his breakthrough came out, the Rockets' defense would be torn apart, and the Lakers' three guards felt around 50% today, which was a bit scary.

But the problem is that if he doesn't do this, let him find a chance to shoot at close range, then the efficiency will be higher, and how to choose is a very unfriendly answer for the Rockets.

Tang Shuai's troubles, the 6 teams that played against the Lakers before have experience, it can only be said that this year's Lakers lineup is too strong, there are almost no loopholes, but there are a lot of strong points, especially the three quasi-all-star guards under the leadership of Zhang Zhu, everyone can play enough damage when they get the opportunity, but the strength of the Rockets' guard line is very poor, so there is really no good way to solve these troubles.

Soon, the Rockets chose to focus on the offensive end, and Tang Shuai knew very well that no matter how hard his guard line worked, he couldn't make up for the talent gap, so he had to replace the Big Three to strengthen the offense.

Today, the two giants on their interior were outstanding on the offensive end, only Drexler was habitually sluggish against the Lakers, and if he could step up in the final quarter, the Rockets would have the ability to fight the Lakers on the offensive end.

Drexler was soon on the pitch with the manager's expectations, and instead of Zhang Fu, who had moved up to the number four position, meaning that "The Glider's" opponent had become Finley, and the pressure had been reduced by at least two intensities.

Not to mention, Drexler has hardly played above average against the Lakers since last season, Zhang Yi is like a 33-year-old "glider" of Tianke, but Finley does not have this ability.

The Lakers' lineup is not said offensively, and it seems to be better than the main lineup defensively, Starks has been the Knicks' main defender of Jordan in previous seasons, and has been ranked in the top ten in the "Best Defensive Player" selection for several seasons in a row, which is a bit of a low match for Payton, although he has not been the top defensive player, but there are only a handful of guards who can blow him up in the entire league, and he has always been able to maintain this level.

Not to mention Zhang Mao, when he plays the No. 4 position, his deterrence on the defensive end is not inferior to Rodman, the Lakers' lineup also has no shortcomings, Starks is more suitable for the sixth man on offense, but he is more suitable for playing the main force on defense, which belongs to a contradictory existence.

However, there are times when the strength on the books cannot determine the victory of a game, and Drexler is not much better than Finley in terms of numbers, but when it comes to the real fight, it is difficult for Finley to defend the "glider" who has been depressed for a whole game, and the latter has two wonderful one-on-one passes, making Finley look less like a young man with more physical fitness than Drexler. The Lakers' side had just opened up a little score, and in the blink of an eye, they were beaten back by Drexler's play.

At 6 minutes and 25 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score came to 100:95, and the Rockets began to make desperate bets on the offensive end.

Zhang Mao's defense is very good, and he can make Barkley a head two big on the offensive end. But back to the defensive end, Barkley's fame is not for nothing, Zhang Fu found that even if he can dominate his footwork, he can't guarantee that he won't foul, and he can't do anything about those historic big butts, which is a bit embarrassing.

Barkley is now inferior to Zhang Qi in dynamic confrontation, simply put, on the defensive end, his big ass is useless, because at this time he has to face Zhang Qi, and he can't turn around and pout his ass to defend, right?

But on the offensive end, his historic big butts give his height of less than two meters a more terrifying center of gravity than Mason, and he can concentrate his strength on the butt more accurately, grinding the opponent with a high center of gravity inch by inch into the penalty area.

Drexler's side singled Finley, and Barkley's side also singled Zhang Zhu, and both of them had better singles than expected.

If it is normal for "Glider" to use experience and technology to teach Finley a lesson, then Zhang Zhu's inability to prevent Barkley is really unexpected, the key is that in addition to those big butts, Zhang Qian found that he could not judge Barkley's turn and the direction of his shot.

Barkley's long-range shooting has always been bad, and his three-point shot has always been embarrassing, and today he was overperforming in this regard. But at mid-range range, Jazz has always had a high shooting percentage, especially on his back, where he can squeeze enough space with his butt before turning around to find the crosshairs. Especially near the penalty line, his left hand can also finish off, which greatly improves his ability to fight on the inside, so his two-point shooting percentage has been among the top in the league, and Zhang Mao was a headache by Barkley's back today.

"This bastard's turn is too hard to guard, and I don't know if he's going to shoot with his left or right hand, so I can't predict the direction of his turn."

Zhang couldn't stop Barkley's ass first, and secondly, he couldn't prevent Barkley's turnaround or turnaround shot, because he was at a disadvantage in the initial static confrontation, and Barkley's left-hand and left-handed all-around advantage made it more difficult for him to defend the next finishing shot.

And Zhang Wei knows that even if he can increase his weight to more than 250 pounds in the future, it is estimated that he will still be no match for those big butts, after all, this is the guy who eats at Barkley, and his fame depends on this part, how can he be so easy to be guarded against.

At this time, Zhang Qian finally saw that when he had the upper hand in the team, there was no hidden danger of going all out, if he could widen the score difference to 20+ in one go, maybe the Rockets would lose their ability to resist.

Now, the bad news is that this season's Lakers are a team that is more inclined to score from the outside, and their shooting efficiency finally began to decline in the final stages of the fourth quarter.

The Rockets have been very good at turning the tables in the last few seasons, because they are a team that relies on interior offense, and their explosive output may not be as good as many strong teams, but their stable output is stronger than the Lakers.

Olajuwon and Ross Barkley, both of whom are among the top in terms of physical fitness, will not be trapped in the fourth quarter and will be able to use their solid interior offense to continue to score steadily while everyone is declining. And those teams that rely more on line shooting or breakthroughs, such as the current Lakers, at this time, after the physical fitness declines, the shooting efficiency will also decline, once the Rockets successfully chase the score, it is easy to be broken down mentality, let the Rockets take away in waves.

The Lakers' defense is indeed good, but under the existing rules, they are more single-defense, good at dealing with strong teams on the outside, but it is difficult to put the outside bull in the restricted area.

Barkley continued to score points on Zhang Zhu, the Lakers' most reassuring core, and the Lakers couldn't help it, after entering the last three minutes, Van Exel chose to help Zhang Zhu wrap Barkley, but as soon as the big ass shook his hand, the basketball went to Emmanuol on the outside, this guy has made 4 three-pointers today, and this time he shot today's 5th three-pointer.

The score was 107:104, and the Lakers' lead was only 2 points in a blink of an eye.

Harris knew he couldn't play like this anymore, so he called a timeout and put Mason back on to resume his starting lineup.

Although Zhang Mao blew up Barkley on the offensive end during this time, he was also blown back by Barkley's back on the defensive end. Zhang Mao can't help it, in terms of low-post defensive ability, Mason is indeed much stronger than him, and only he Mason in the Lakers can withstand Barkley's back punch and barely deal with those big butts.

Drexler also played well during the period when Zhang Qi went to face Barkley, with breakthroughs, scores, assists and defenses, and formed a three-dimensional attack formation with Olajuwon and Barkley inside.

However, when Zhang Zhu returned to the No. 3 position, this guy, who has always been considered the second guard in the NBA, returned to silence again.

Rocket fans really can't understand why Drexler stopped eating as soon as he met Zhang Qi, and it is estimated that even Zhang Qi himself does not know the answer.

There's nothing hard to explain about it, Drexler is a year older than Barkley and Olajuwon, and if he had met Zhang Qi before the age of 30, he really wouldn't have been as embarrassed as he is now, when he was an all-around swingman who was more versatile than Jordan, and his ability value was still above Pippen.

But just like the 33-year-old Barkley can't guard against Zhang Qi, does the 34-year-old "glider" take his head to fight Zhang Qi?

So it's very simple, being old is the only answer, just like the later peak Harden can shake Kobe Bryant, but if the two are in the same prime, it is difficult for Harden to have an advantage in the matchup.

"Damn, I'm also sitting and fighting!"

Although Zhang Mao returned to the No. 3 position, he could not let go of the unhappiness of being dominated by Barkley's pair of butts before, and he also began to play a back-to-back attack on the offensive end, and he also sat in little by little.

This surprised the Rockets, although Zhang Mao strengthened his back in the summer, but after the start of the season, he still mostly attacked with a face frame, who made such a play efficient.

This time, he suddenly played his back, and his teammates all pulled away for him to play one-on-one, and the Rockets could only watch Zhang Qi force Drexler to score two times in a row, and the Lakers' lead came to 5 points.

The closer the NBA game gets, the slower time flies because the clock stops on the court.

Tang Shuai saw that something was wrong, and immediately called a pause again, and the watch stopped again.

Zhang Mao's data has unknowingly come to 22 points, 12 rebounds and 16 assists, he has equaled his single-game assist record, and the next step is to surpass ......

Random Mission: [Career Record] Start——

"Breakthrough 16 assists in a single game", status: Unfinished, 5000 match points, 500 reputation.

"Breakthrough 18 assists in a single game", status: incomplete, 10,000 Arena Points, 1,000 Fame.

"Break through 20 assists in a single game", status: incomplete, 30,000 Arena Points, 3,000 Fame.

"Breakthrough 22 assists in a single game", status: incomplete, 50,000 Arena Points, 5,000 Fame.

There is no failure penalty for this kind of "random mission", and the mission name is [Career Record], basically every time he is about to break some career data records, he will receive this kind of task.

Of course, this kind of career record has to carry a bit of weight, and he has never received such a task before he got 15 assists. It is estimated that the system thinks that a No. 3 position, getting less than 15 assists is not a great achievement. At the same time, he can't get 50 points and can't receive score-related tasks, and it is estimated that the system thinks that it is too common to score more than 40 points, and at least 50 points will be awarded to him.

"Awesome!"

As soon as Zhang Qi saw that he had 5,000 competition points with 16 assists, he decisively began to brush up assists again.

After the game restarted, Zhang Mao still attacked with his back, but he knew that the Rockets would definitely have a targeted strategy after the timeout, so he wittily turned and broke through early, so that Olajuwon's ambush did not work, and he burst into the restricted area instead.

At this time, as long as Zhang Mao made a quick shot, whether it was throwing or hitting the board, he basically made a decision, but he passed the ball to Mutombo in one fell swoop.

Thankfully, Mutombo's shot from inside the box was solid, and this time there was no one to defend and a close-range hook shot was easy to score.

"Haha, 5000 competition points are in hand!"

After Zhang Wei got 17 assists, he naturally set his sights on 18 times, and as long as he got 2 more assists in the next step, it would be 10,000 competition points.
