In the remaining 4 minutes of the second quarter, the Rockets' young people's rapid offense was like a high-speed chainsaw, cutting the Bulls' defensive formation on the court, the Bulls' Big Three defense is strong, but the basketball is always the offensive side has the advantage.

Tiger on the sidelines also likes it very much, the Rockets' current offensive mode, high-speed assault, accurate shooting, the Rockets young people have played their own vigor and publicity.

For a time, the Rockets' surprise attack set off an endless frenzy in the four minutes of the second quarter of the game.

A ** impact on the Bulls' defense, but now the Bulls really have no good way to suppress the flamboyant offense, and now the two Europeans on the court, Bodi Roga and Saulius, have become the most propulsive engines of the Rockets.

Although the Bulls increased their defense against the two, under the cover of the other Rockets players, the two began to attack violently.

In the last 4 minutes, the two men combined to score 10 points.

Solidified the Rockets' dominance on the court.

At the end of the game, the Rockets had a five-point lead at 53:48.

In the locker room of the Rockets, the players of the Rockets were joking with each other, Lao Tang was watching this situation on the side, and he was also full of joy, so he saw Lao Tang and said with a smile: "Hey, guys, don't make trouble, you are only 5 points ahead now, that is only a 2-goal gap, the Bulls can catch up with the score by defending twice, don't be happy too early, be careful and be happy." ”

There was a chuckle in the Rockets locker room.

Mark? Jackson said loudly from the side, "Guys, the coach doesn't trust us right now, everyone says what to do." ”

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, Mark? Jackson looked around at the Rockets' players, all dressed to watch the show, smiled stiffly, and asked Garnett beside him, "Hey, Kevin, what do you say to do?" ”

Garnett was chatting with Big Ben as if he hadn't seen him: "I said Ben, today when you rushed out of the field to save the ball, you pounced on a beautiful woman, tell me how it feels." ”

Big Ben is not a stupid person, hehe said: "It feels great, it feels very good." ”

Daniels, who was sitting across from them, rolled his eyes and said, "I said that the two of you have really different tastes, Ben smashed a fifty-year-old aunt-level person, and that figure is no different from a gasoline barrel." ”

Listening to Daniels' words, the Rockets players burst into laughter again.

Old soup looked at Mark? Jackson, Old Soup's gaze makes Mark? Jackson felt like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake, and a cold feeling crawled over him.

Mark? Jackson hurriedly said: "The coach's distrust is the biggest spur to us, isn't it, guys, don't you all feel like that." ”

Mark? Jackson was so bad that he put all the players in one sentence.

For a while, all the players of the Rockets set their sights on Mark? Jackson, if the eyes can kill, I guess Mark? Jackson has been dead n times.

When Lao Tang heard this, he was also happy, and said in his heart: Mark, this kid is really bad.

As soon as Lao Tang raised his hand, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then listened to him say: "Okay, Mark, you don't dig a pit like this, bury yourself while digging." In the first half, everyone played very well, I guess Phil and Michael are still having a headache now, just play according to this mentality, I believe that the final victory we won is not a distant thing. ”

Rocket crowds, chanting: "Victory"

Lao Tang signaled quiet again, and then said: "In the second half of the game, the Bulls will work hard, if they want to win the final victory, they must win a victory on our home court, in fact, they have the best chance in the first game, but they consumed too much energy and physical strength in the game with the Pacers, and finally lost to us, in fact, we have to thank the Pacers." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Olajuwon, intentionally or unintentionally.

Olajuwon's face was hot, and the resentment towards Miller in his heart intensified.

Everyone in the rocket also glanced at the big brother knowingly, and said in their hearts: This is really an old heart.

Lao Tang continued: "The Bulls will definitely strengthen their defense in the second half, the Bulls' problem now is not offense, but his defense has problems, especially in the last 4 minutes of the first half of the game, their defense of Dejan and Sboga is a little abnormal, and the Bulls will definitely defend them in the second half." Their offense in the first half is still very good, the threat of the Big Three in the offense is still huge, in the second half you still have to follow the established policy, a lot of consumption of Michael's physical strength, as long as he is rested, then the Bulls are losing the sharpest spear, then our pressure will be reduced a lot. ”

The Rockets nodded their heads, signaling that they understood.

"Okay, it's nothing, get ready, we're on the field."

Everyone in the rocket got up one after another, packed up and prepared to play.

But in the Bulls' locker room, it wasn't so easy.

Phil at this time? Jackson is commenting on the Bulls' first-half game.

Phil? Jackson on the huge tactical board, rowing the offensive routine of the Rockets in the first half, explained loudly: "Look, our defense in the first half was not good, when Olajuwon was on the court, I won't say anything, he is at the same level of strategic weapons as Michael, and dealing with them is by no means a single person can solve it, so if they are on the court in the second half, we must cut off his line of receiving the ball, and we can't simply rely on one person to defend him, but to help defend with many people, so as to effectively control their offense." The worst thing we did in the first half was the defense of Bodi Roga and Saulus in the last few minutes, they were too easy to get points, so that the more effective attack of the first half of the game became useless, so in the second half we had to strengthen the defense, especially after the two people came on the field, the ball didn't care, people had to be stared at me. ”

The bulls nodded silently.

Finally, Jordan stepped up and said to the Bulls: "Guys, I don't want to leave Houston with these two losses, then our road to the championship this year will be extremely difficult, we have to get a win in Houston, then we will be much better to go back to Chicago, you know our goal." ”

The bulls nodded their heads to show that they understood.

"One last thing I would like to say to everyone, I don't want to go home like this, I don't want us Chicago city heroes to be the object of laughter."

After that, I packed up my things and got ready to play.

Phil? Jackson looked at the Bulls' players, nodded secretly, and thought to himself: It seems that there is still a fight.

The second half of the game between the two sides began with the referee's whistle.

The Rocket's fast offensive system was greatly inhibited at the start of the second half, the Bulls' slow Ristiao offense, when the Rockets attacked, ensured their backcourt rebounds, pursued the success rate when attacking, and opened and closed the offensive method, so that the Rockets, who played the tactics of small balls, played extremely jerky, so that the Rockets fell into a disadvantageous state on the court for a while.

The Rockets' lead was quickly caught up by the Bulls and overtaken, which made Lao Tang stand up wrinkledly, walked to the sideline and pressed down with his hands, signaling the Rockets to stabilize the rhythm first.

Bodi Roga looked at the coach's gestures, nodded, and began to slow down.

The Bulls are actually more adaptable to the small-ball tactics played by the Rockets, the Bulls' Big Three are not the kind of slow-paced players, the defense is very fast, and the Rockets' offense is still very adaptable.

However, the Bulls still don't have many ways to attack this kind of slow-paced half-court, they can only speed up the speed of players' assistance and defense, but after all, the ball is faster than the speed of people, as long as the players on the inside have good passing vision and solid basket skills, then this kind of offense is still quite effective.

The rocket slowed down, and the bull also became quite uncomfortable.

Watching the Rockets change their moves, the Bulls immediately replaced Harper with Longley to increase their defensive thickness on the inside.

Longley's play, increased the difficulty of the Rockets attacking the opponent, now the Rocket's inside line is Big Ben and Jie Nett are paired, Big Ben's defense and rebounding are excellent, but in terms of offense is still very poor, Garnett is all-round, but unfortunately after facing Rodman, his ability is also limited, after all, the rebounding king of several consecutive years is not so easy to deal with.

Lao Tang saw such a situation on the court, called the bus over, and said: "Bus, what is it now, has it been figured out, basketball games are like this, it is always the offensive side that has an advantage, and you are still facing the best player since the 90s, and it is normal to be deducted by others." ”

The bus nodded and said, "Coach, don't worry, I'm fine, hehe, such a blow is nothing to me." ”

Looking at the relaxed bus, Lao Tang nodded and said, "Okay, you can play, but be careful, now the bull's momentum is very strong, cooperate well with Kevin and Deyang, do you understand your task." ”

The bus nodded and didn't say anything.

The Rockets made substitutions, the bus came on the court to replace Big Ben, and the Rockets also began to play a slow Ristiao offense.

The bus desperately resisted Longley under the basket, restricting the Bulls' best planners on the inside, and on the offensive end, the bus continued to block and dismantle the players on the outside, and he also had an accurate mid-range shot, as long as he ran out of position, Bodi Roga would never hesitate to pass the ball to him.

For a time, the inside line of the bull was turned upside down.

The inside combination of the bus and Garnett has height, strength, speed, and bounce, which can be used inside and out, which is very easy to use.

After Lao Tang's two games and the regular season, the Bulls still have a good way of dealing with teams that rely on speed, flexibility and shooting, but when dealing with teams with strong interior and accurate outside shooters, the record is generally not very good, although they have won two championships, such shortcomings still exist.

The Bulls' last interior player is Rodman now, but how tall Rodman is, 2.03 meters, such a height is a freak and there is a limit, and Longley is still okay as a strategic center. However, it is still difficult to make him the core of the interior defense, so that the Bulls can only help the defense, and either Jordan or Pippen enters the interior to help the defense.

This greatly affects the defensive energy of the Bulls on the outside, as long as there are good shooters, then the Bulls will always have defensive holes on the outside.

This kind of defense, in fact, has a very visual compatibility, that is, the Bull's defense is like a shield, then the rocket's small ball tactics are fast knives, fast knives can cut butter but when they meet the shield, it is not very easy to use, and the big ball tactics are like a heavy hammer, and the defense of the shield is very limited.

The Rockets seem to have found a way to deal with the Bulls.
