The Bulls players who returned to the sidelines all hung their heads, not daring to look at their coaches, everyone knew how important this game was, and they lost the opponent by 7 points in the first quarter, how to score.

Still, Phil? Jackson's face didn't change much, so the mood of the Bulls players was even more like a roller coaster.

Phil? Jackson picked up the tactics board, and without any preface, he began to explain the tactics for the Bulls players, and after the explanation, he just waved his hand and signaled that the Bulls players could play. Then, sit down in your seat without saying a word.

The Bulls players were a little panicked and could only look at their team leader, Jordan.

Jordan also looked at Phil confused? Jackson, however, as the leader of the team, has an obligation and responsibility to ask for clarification for his team.

Jordan walked to Phil? Jackson's side whispered, "Coach, did we do something wrong?" ”

Phil? Jackson looked up, smiled and said, "No, Michael, you guys didn't do anything wrong. ”

"Then why don't you say something to us?" Jordan spoke out the mystery in his heart.

Phil? Jackson looked at the Bulls players and said, "I can say everything I can say, now it can only depend on your own performance, I have done my best as a coach, and you can only rely on yourself if you want to continue to win." ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The Bulls players were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

As long as Jordan understands Phil? Jackson meant, turned to his teammates and said, "Coach, that's right, he's done what he should have done, and now it's time for us to save ourselves." Come, brethren, if we do not fight hard, then victory will surely be farther and farther away from us. ”

After that, they got ready for the game, and the rest of the Bulls players also understood the thoughts of the head coach and their team leaders.

Everyone glanced at each other, then took a deep breath and strode behind Jordan to start the second quarter of the game.

Sure enough, in Phil? Under the stimulation of Jackson's alternative, the Bulls' players in the second quarter were like doping, playing on the court with all their might, and the Rockets were oppressed by the momentum on the Bulls for a while, and there were continuous mistakes.

Seeing that the form on the field was not good, at this time it was Olajuwon who stepped forward again, and Olajuwon said loudly on the field: "What are you in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, play slowly, play according to the tactics arranged before the game, and hand over the next ball to me." ”

Watching the Bulls score six straight points in one minute, Olajuwon knew he had to do something.

Turning around, Olajuwon held the basketball, Langley behind him, desperately resisted him, Olajuwon felt the defensive strength behind him, took a deep breath, and suddenly arched behind him, and Langley, who was a little caught off guard, was suddenly pushed a step, it was the space of this step, giving Olajuwon more opportunities, a very beautiful cross step to get rid of, between Rodman making up, a slight flick of the wrist, a successful layup, two points for the Rockets to stabilize the game.

Seeing the Rockets players who scored goals, the irritability calmed down all of a sudden.

Knowing that the leader of his team is still unstoppable, the backbone of the Rockets is back.

That's the role of a leader, when the game is in a stalemate and none of the players on his side can score, he can score, he can lead the team to win, that's the role of a leader, Olajuwon is like that, Jordan is the same.

After the Rockets stabilized the situation, they also began their own stable performance, Olajuwon's basket offense, Garnett's straight-arm back-up shot, Horry's pull-up jump shot, Ray? Allen's efficient positioning, Bodiroga's scheduling throughout the field.

All of this shows the powerful strength of the rocket.

As the opponent of the Rockets, the Bulls also performed very well, Jordan's step-back jumper, Pippen's breakthrough, Rodman's backcourt rebound, Harper's accurate three-point shot, and Longley's selfless assists and strategies.

It also shows the strength of the bulls.

Tiger, who was on the sidelines, watched the performance of the bulls on the field, and was also very impressed.

Tiger knows how powerful the Bulls were in his previous life, but as a fan of the Rockets, he can only silently watch his beloved team, in the game in his previous life, he did not return without feathers, and he can only keep sad and cry on the side, and he can't do anything.

And now, he is very grateful to God for giving him this opportunity to start anew, so that he can use his own strength to realize such a dream for himself.

In the hands of the rocket, the red bull dynasty ended, and at this moment, the dream in Tiger's heart is gradually approaching, and it is almost within reach.

The rocket is moving according to his vision, his goal is moving forward, on the right path.

Just as Tiger was thinking, the second quarter was over.

The Rockets didn't give the Bulls any chance in the second quarter and held on to their advantage.

53:48 The Rockets walked into the locker room with a five-point advantage.

In the locker room, Lao Tang praised the players who played the game in the second quarter of the Rockets, and listened to Lao Tang say: "Stinky boys, you played very well in the second quarter, you stubbornly withstood the Bulls' counterattack, this is good news for us, bad news for the Bulls, can just end the second quarter of the game, the Bulls can be said to have played their strongest strength, their' The triangle offense has perfected, that's undeniable, the back-to-back shots we conceded at the beginning and the 29 points they scored in this quarter are great examples, but you played just as well, you stubbornly withstood the opponent's offense, and your offense made the Bulls' proud defense useless, you guys are really amazing, I'm proud of you. ”

Lao Tang's mood is now overflowing with excitement, and his face is full of redness, and when he sees the game in the second quarter, he knows that if the Rockets continue to play like this, there will be no problem in winning this game.

Looking at the excitement on Lao Tang's face, the mentality of the Rockets' players began to relax, and this state was very conducive to their performance in the second half.

Tiger didn't know when, drilled into the locker room of the rocket, looking at such a relaxed atmosphere, Tiger said loudly on the side: "Guys, I have something to ask you." ”

The Rockets players looked at their boss strangely, thinking to themselves: What can their boss ask us for?

Tiger said: "I think with everyone's current state, it won't be a problem to win the Bulls in the end, but when you guys win in the end, you guys will do me a favor, okay?" ”

As he spoke, he said an idea.

As the Rockets listened, their eyes kept widening and their mouths expanding.

In the end, everyone was looking at Tiger with a different kind of eye.

Hearing that Tiger finished speaking, Olajuwon stood up and said: "Brothers, we will definitely help the boss with this favor, not because he is our boss, we will help him, because this is our friend, and it is such a special thing, we must help, you say yes, brothers." ”

The Rockets players shouted in unison, "Yes." ”

After shouting, the Rockets players burst into laughter, not knowing that their boss was so interesting.

After hearing this, Lao Tang also laughed, walked to Tiger's side and said, "Boss, I support you, do you want to count me as well." ”

Tiger nodded hurriedly and said, "That's great, Rudy, I really can't ask for it." ”

The Rockets ended the break with such a happy plan and idea.

The halftime on the Bulls' side was much more dreary.

The Bulls are summing up the lessons learned from the first half.

The Bulls players at this time, like schoolboys, listened to Phil? Jackson told them about the first half.

After talking about the precautions and experience, after arranging the tactics for the second half of the game, Phil? Jackson still said a word lightly, and listened to the Zen master say: "I still say that, I have done everything I can, now it depends on your own play, now one step is heaven, one step is hell, you can choose for yourself." ”

After saying that, after signaling that he could play, he sat aside and did not speak.

Jordan stood up again and said, "There is still half of the game, we are five points behind, I don't want to lose, which of you wants to lose." ”

The Bulls were silent, and Jordan looked at it and said, "Okay, everyone didn't say anything, then when everyone wants to win, then we can only fight to the death." ”

Jordan walked to the door of the locker room and said: "Out of this door, we have no way out, we can only move forward, we are only greeted by victory or defeat, what do you want, shout out loud before going out." ”

Jordan reached out and pushed the door open, motioning for the Bulls players to start.

Pippen was the first to walk up, and after high-fiveing Jordan, he shouted, "Victory." ”

Then Rodman, Longley, Harper, Kukoc, Kerr, Winnington, and all the other Bulls players walked out of the locker room door, high-fived Jordan and yelled, "Win." ”

Looking at the Bulls players who have walked out of the locker room, Phil sitting on the sidelines? Jackson opened his eyes and smiled.

The Bulls players who returned to the court were all with a murderous aura.

Looking at this murderous aura, all the players of the Rockets just smiled faintly and continued to prepare for the game.

The second half of the game began after the referee's whistle blew.

The Rockets served from their own half and started their first offense of the second half.

After serving, Bodiroga came to the Bulls' three-point line with the ball, and Harper was still staring at this Bodiroga, looking at the guy in front of him who had been entangled with him for 4 games. Bodi Roga just smiled softly.

With both hands raised and thrown, a tall and thin figure suddenly burst out under the bull basket, gently grabbed the basketball in the air, and the body was hard in the air, grabbed the hand of the basket, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and smashed into the bull's basket.

There was a bang of "boom".

Garnett completed a brilliant aerial relay.

It's exciting, it's exciting.

Bodi Roga and Garnett used a wonderful tacit cooperation to loudly announce to Chicagoans that the Rockets are invincible.
