Chapter 156: Fighting to the Last Moment (Part II)

After the first half of the battle, the Spurs, who had already begun to fight hard, took the lead in the score.

Although it was only 8 points, it was enough to make the Spurs more relaxed in the locker room for the second half of the game.

Vicky smiled with interest and said: "Guys, how about it, the rockets are not so difficult to deal with, you guys are doing quite well now." ”

The Spurs laughed in a low voice.

** Vicky looked at the Spurs whose morale was okay and said: "Everyone, you must be careful in the second half, the Rockets will definitely start to fight back, they won't give up a game like this, remember what I said to everyone before the game?" ”

The Spurs roared: "Fight until the last moment." ”

** Vicky waved his hand passionately and roared: "That's right, the battle to the last moment, we crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, we climbed up on supersonic speed and jazz corpses, what are we still afraid of, we will not be afraid of anything, you all have to play every game as the last game of the finals now, so that we can have a chance to win, don't be afraid of anything, we are making history every step forward, we will not easily admit defeat." ”

Vicky is making the final mobilization, and everyone knows that if the Spurs lose this game, then the Spurs will also lose the entire series.

Barkley, David? Both of the old guys, Robinson, knew that their time was running out, and if they didn't take advantage of the last chance to gamble now, then they really didn't have much chance to touch the highest honors.

The two of them glanced at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw a raging battle fire and unyielding fighting spirit.

At this time, in the locker room of the Rockets, Lao Tang looked at the Rockets' players with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Guys, everyone knows the seriousness of today's game, if we win this game, then the whole series will lose suspense, but if the Spurs want to win this game, then the entire series will become more confusing, and we will stand on the same starting line with the Spurs from the new side, if this happens, then the psychology of the Spurs will change greatly, They will have the confidence to overcome us. I really don't want that to happen, if it does become like that, the Spurs will be unstoppable, our championship path will be uncertain, I don't want that to happen, the players who came on from the second half to cheer me up, the players off the pitch to cheer me up, to watch the opponent on the pitch. This second half is probably going to be a tough game in the series, and I hope it's us who will win in the end, do you have confidence? ”

All the players of the Rockets replied loudly: "Yes"

Looking at the rockets with high morale, Lao Tang slightly let go of his heart hanging in mid-air, and Lao Tang knew that the next half of the game would be the biggest test for the rockets.

Time is fast, and the second half of Game 4 of the Spurs' Western Conference Finals against the Rockets is about to begin.

The rocket was replaced by the old men, and at this time the old men's experience and psychological endurance were still stronger than the young ones.

However, Saullius, who was desperately eyeing Barkley in the first half, was left on the pitch.

Saulius, who has already committed three fouls, knows exactly what he has to do today, which is to exhaust Barkley's physical energy to the best of his ability.

Although, Barkley is called a monster, but you can't expect a 35-year-old man to be physically fit.

After the start of the third quarter, Saullius continued to post Barkley, Barkley glanced at Saullius and said: "Boy, you have already committed three fouls, and your head coach still won't let you go off?" Do you want to let your 6 criminals go straight home. ”

Saulus's expression did not change at all, and he said silently: "My task is to defend you, I don't need to think about anything else, if I really get out of the game with 6 fouls, it is also a choice made by the coach according to the needs of the game." ”

Barkley shook his head and stopped talking, although not speaking doesn't mean that Barkley will give up the game.

Although Saulius's defense is in place, the huge difference in strength makes Saulius always get knocked away, and then Barkley rages into the interior and attacks the Rockets' basket furiously.

From the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Rockets withstood a wave of attacks from the Spurs, Barkley and David? Robinson's desperate offense made the Rockets' defense useless for a while.

Looking at the Spurs' aggressive and extremely strong attack, Lao Tang's brows became tighter and tighter.

Lao Tang slowly stood up, ready to adjust the tactics on the field, but Lao Tang, who had just stood up, saw Olajuwon gesturing to himself and signaled him not to rush.

Seeing such a gesture, Lao Tang sat down slowly, not understanding what Olajuwon was going to do.

Only David? After Robinson got the ball, Olajuwon quickly stuck to it, and his body was very big. Robinson kept in very close contact.

But in David? The moment Robinson began to turn and break through, Olajuwon screamed like a felled tree and fell to the ground.

And at the moment of falling to the ground, the referee's whistle blew.

David? Robinson fouled offensively, looking at such a penalty, the ** Vic on the sidelines covered his eyes and shouted in his heart: Oh no, David fouled four times, this is the beginning of the third quarter.

And David on the field? Robinson was also very excited and was arguing with the referee.

The referee doesn't care about you, a foul is a foul, there's nothing to say.

Looking at David? Robinson was still babbling on and on, and the referee, who was already a little annoyed, was about to give a technical foul.

Buckley next to him hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed David? Robinson said: "Hey, hey, David, what do you want to do, do you want to go straight down, if you do, we will completely lose today's game, calm down, calm down." ”

David who has come back to his senses? Robinson, shocked in his heart, said in his heart: What's the matter, how can I make such a mistake.

Stuck on the sidelines and ready to play? Elliott, David? Robinson immediately walked to the sidelines and calmed down first.

Watching Olajuwon beat David? After Robinson, Lao Tang also waved his fist excitedly on the sidelines.

The rocket at the most important moment, gets a respite.

Although Elliott is also a good interior player, the experience gap was magnified when Duncan faced Olajuwon.

After two successful attempts under the basket, Elliott had to start helping Olajuwon, and as soon as he started to help, Olajuwon's started passing.

After opening up the situation on the inside, the Rockets began to close the gap in the score little by little.

By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had closed the score to just five points.

Looking at the score that was pulled into the field, ** Vicky to David next to him? "David, I need you to be on the floor for the whole of the fourth quarter, but you've got four fouls, you're a veteran, can you control your fouls," Robinson said. ”

David? Robinson nodded very firmly and said, "I can." ”

**Vicky stared at David solemnly? Robinson said a minute later, "Okay, David, you play, it's the last chance, and if we lose this game, then we're going to lose the whole series." ”

David? Robinson was still very firm and said, "I understand. ”

There are not many words, but the firmness in the tone has been expressed with these six words.

The fourth quarter of the game began in a more tense atmosphere.

Spurs put David again? Robinson switched to the court, and the Rockets' interior became a bus.

Although the pace of the bus is slow, the bounce is not very good.

But the biggest strength is the strength, under the impact of the strong power of the bus, David? Robinson can only focus on defense.

On the offensive side, it was more to Barkley.

However, Barkley was also in trouble at this time, and Saullius was off, and he was out of the game with 6 fouls.

However, he also took away a lot of Barkley's physical strength.

Barkley, who had been pestered for three full quarters, met Horry, who had been rested for the second quarter.

Before going on the court, Old Tang said to Horry, your task is to follow Barkley in the fourth quarter.

It doesn't matter what position he is, to keep up with him is to win.

Although Barkley can still hold on, the large amount of physical energy consumed has made him lose the threat of the first three quarters.

Barkley's silence reduced the Spurs' attack power from the outside by 50%.

The current Spurs can only rely on Duncan to score some points, but it is also quite difficult to score, because it is Garnett who is opposite him.

Garnett focused on defense today, especially Duncan, who was across from him.

The two have been entangled in the game for three quarters.

As long as Duncan is on the court, then Garnett will be on the court.

The two of them were like fighters in ancient Rome, wielding the swords in their hands and attacking each other again and again.

With the gradual extinguishment of the firepower of the Spurs' triumvirate, the Rockets are gradually gaining an advantage on the court.

The Rockets equalized with four minutes remaining.

Looking at the equaliser, Vicky closed his eyes in pain, he knew the game was over.

The Rockets relied on their strong bench strength and gradually regained their form on the court.

The Spurs players on the bench also covered their heads with towels in pain, but at this moment, a very familiar voice came from them.

"Give me the ball."

Who, who is still in this state of mind.

Vicky was shocked, thinking to himself what was wrong, I'm the manager, I can't lose hope, I'm a role model for the whole team.

Thinking of this, ** Vicky looked up at the guy who was still fighting.

The short, but very strong guy with a basketball in his hand, was in a stalemate with the Rockets player opposite him.

It's Barkley, yes it's him, this guy hasn't given up hope yet.

Controlling the basketball, Barkley shouted loudly: "There is still time for the game now, the Rockets are just equalising the score, and it is not the end of the world, what are you afraid of." ”

With Barkley's words, the Spurs began to restore morale on the court, and this is the ability of an old guy to not only break the morale of the opponent, but also improve the morale of his own side.

Watching Barkley crash away from Horry and hit a solid shot, all the Spurs players began to cheer.

Even David? Robinson raised his arm and extended his thumb to show wonderful.

The Rockets looked at such a situation on this side, and the eyes of the players on the court turned to the old soup on the sidelines.

Lao Tang just stood up, pressed down with both hands, and signaled to stabilize the rhythm, there was still time.

Looking at the calm old soup on the sidelines, the emotions of the players on the Rockets court also calmed down, and Bodiroga controlled the ball steadily and slowly advanced to the Spurs' half.

Ignoring the harassment of 'Little General' Johnson, Bodi Roga handed the ball to the inside.

The bus is close to David behind him? Robinson, with his own strength, is advancing little by little.

The bus is well aware of its strengths and weaknesses, and uses its strength to advance into its own attack range.

A sharp turn and put David? Robinson is stuck behind him and is about to make a layup.

David who has come to this time? Robinson didn't care, he had five fouls.

With less than 2 minutes to go, the Rockets must not be allowed to score a goal.

David? Robinson reached out and grabbed the bus, and the whistle blew.

David? Robinson made 6 fouls, looking at Robinson who went down, the Rockets had held the victory tightly in their hands this time.
