At the referee's whistle, the second half of the first game of the finals began.

After the start of the game, it was still the Bulls who took the lead in attacking, and in the face of the Rocket's lineup in the second half, although the Bulls were a little confused, they still resolutely started the offense.

The Rockets' lineup for the second half was Mark? Jackson, Ray? Aaron, Horry, Garnett and Big Ben.

Or did the bull suddenly pick up the pace, hoping to use the speed to break through Mark? Jackson's this, and then can make a difference.

However, what the Bulls didn't expect was that the Rockets in addition to Mark? Jackson's men were a little slower, but the rest of the Rockets weren't slow.

The Bulls' several fast attacks failed to work under the Rockets' rapid retreat, and the Bulls could only slow down the pace and play their own long-term tactics.

The Bulls, who slowed down, continued to let Jordan play alone, watching Jordan continue to wreak havoc on Ray? Aaron, Lao Tang didn't look very bearably off the field, and was thinking about when, let Lei? Aaron came down and rested.

Just when Lao Tang was thinking about whether to replace Lei? Allen's time, the Rockets inadvertently launched a wave of attacks, Harper's pass was a little less powerful, and Garnett behind Rodman used his height and arm length to break the ball.

Mark? Jackson took the basketball, just swept the situation on the court, and made a long pass through the whole court, and passed directly to Ray, who was already almost down to the opponent's three-point line. In Aaron's hands, no, don't say and thunder? Allen's Jordan is also an excellent defensive player, and at this point he is already standing in Ray? Aaron's in front of him.

Put on the defensive and watch the thunder? What did Aaron do with the ball.

However, just look at Ray? Aaron smiled slightly, raised his hands, and the ball was quickly passed.

Seeing such a pass, Jordan secretly screamed in his heart, this is an aerial relay ball.

Jordan guessed correctly, Horry, who had already come down from the other side, had already risen up, and after making a stretch in the air, he smashed the basketball into the basket.

A loud "bang" was heard by the loudspeaker on the basket.

Looking at this momentum dunk, the fans at the Rockets' home court cheered once.

After the rocket stabilized his position, he began his own counterattack, and the counterattack was quite fierce.

After watching this wonderful air relay, Ray? Aaron and Horry fist-banging, Horry said, "It's a beautiful pass." ”

Thunder? Aaron replied, "It's beautiful." ”

Mark, who was listening to the conversation between the two on the side? Jackson said, "You two just keep blowing, I'm getting goosebumps." ”

The three of them burst into laughter.

Such a wonderful cooperation of the Rockets also really stimulated the nerves of the Bulls players, especially Jordan.

Jordan singled up again, no, not to mention that Jordan's shooting rate was really high, two consecutive mid-range shots, let the defense of his thunder? Aaron still couldn't do anything about it.

But Phil on the field? Jackson sensed something different.

Standing on the sidelines and shouting, "Michael, pay attention to passing the ball and maintain your physical strength." ”

Jordan vs. Phil? Jackson nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to defend himself.

When the Bulls started to defend, Ray? Allen continued to run with Jordan strolling, further consuming Jordan's physical strength, the concept of the rocket in the second half is to drag Jordan to death, one person does not become two, two people do not achieve three people, anyway, it can't make you feel better.

This offensive of the rockets, continuing their own stability, Mark? Jackson pouted his ass and hit it inside, resisted to a little position, and shot himself without anyone to help defend it, anyway, this old boy's ugly little hook hand is still so **.

The Bulls can only help defend, Rodman on the inside can only come up to help defend, Jordan carries thunder? Allen ran with madness, Pippen on the outside against Horry, these two can't relax, but Garnett, who is opposite Rodman, can relax? The answer, of course, is no.

When Rodman stepped forward to help the defense, Mark? Jackson passed, a very wonderful horizontal pass, Garnett, who took the basketball, took a small jump, raised his hands high, faced Longley's defense, and directly dunked the ball in, showing Garnett's good speed.

The two sides are evenly matched, and the rockets have Mark on the field? Jackson, the rhythm controller, adapts well to the rhythm of the Bulls' attacks on the court.

The Rockets can always find holes in the Bulls on the offensive end to attack, and on the defensive end, the defensive enthusiasm of the Rockets players is also high, and the rapid rotation position, although the Bulls can also score, but such a goal will be very difficult and a waste of physical strength.

Looking at Jordan, who is consuming more and more, Phil? Jackson finally knew the Rockets' way to deal with Jordan, and that was to keep running.

I said that in the first quarter, Drexler's running could be so much, it was completely bullying the Bulls just after 7 big battles, and his physical fitness couldn't keep up, this is the Rockets showing the cart and horses to bully you, you can't say anything yet, this is the tactics of the Rockets.

And once the Bulls become a stamina-saving joint defense, then the Rockets will send their own perimeter pitcher corps, as long as your Bulls' defensive bomb is not enough, then the Rockets' outside pitcher group can shoot you to death.

The bull is slowly moving towards an endless cycle, a cycle with no solution.

Thinking of Phil? Jackson glanced helplessly at the Rockets' bench, then there are also excellent players such as Olajuwon, Drexler, and Bodi Roga, who will pose a huge threat to the Bulls once they play.

But looking at Jordan who is getting slower and slower, Phil? Jackson could only grit his teeth and replace Jordan to give him a good rest.

This game still has to be played, and if it goes on like this, you can surrender the gun without fighting the bulls.

In the sixth minute of the third quarter, Jordan was substituted for the break, and Kukoc was substituted.

Watching the Bulls make substitutions, the Rockets are also starting to make substitutions, Mark? Jackson goes off and Bodiroga plays.

Because Mark? Jackson's height on the back line is a flaw after all, and in the face of Kukoc's height, Mark? Jackson will always be a shortcoming.

Bodi Roga's play also brought impact to the Rockets on the court, although the ability to play alone with his back is not very good, but Bodi Roga's breakthrough is still very distinctive.

has height, weight, stride length, and a very good sense of rhythm, so the Rockets sent him up, one is to strengthen the height of his guard line, and the other is to strengthen the offense, during the time when Jordan is off the court, try to widen the gap in the score, which is conducive to the final quarter of the game.

Looking at his former teammates, Bodi Roga smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Kukoc, on the other hand, said a little dissatisfied: "Deyang, what are you laughing at, are you looking down on me." ”

Bodi Roga shook his head and said, "You're wrong, I'm not looking down on you. ”

Kukoc felt better and said, "That's why. ”

Bodi Roga said indifferently: "Because you are not in my eyes at all." ”

Before the words fell, Bodiroga broke through Kukoc's defense with a big stride, and two steps in front of the free throw line for a pull-up jump shot.

"Huh"

The basketball landed safely in the hoop.

Looking at Bodi Roga, who left indifferently, Kukoc was angry for a while, but there was nothing he could do, now it was a basketball court, and people could only do one thing, and that was to talk with basketball.

Turning around, Kukoc wanted to return Bodiro, but Pippen, who controlled the ball, felt that it was not a good idea to return Kukoc's own return after looking at the big hat before the end of the first half.

Looking at the Rockets' rigorous defense, Pippen glanced at Rodman, and Rodman, who understood it, quietly took two steps out.

After Pippen saw this action, he suddenly accelerated, and directly rushed through Horry's marking and directly entered the inside line, while Garnett and Big Ben, who were defending on the inside, also shrank inward, trying to pinch Pippen who broke through.

But it wasn't that Pippen flipped his wrist in the process of breaking through, and the ball went over Garnett's head and passed to his side, and Rodman, who began to run inward when Pippen began to break through, caught the basketball and held the ball in both hands was a violent dunk.

And the thunder who tried to help defend it? Aaron was directly knocked out of the bottom line.

After landing on the ground, Rodman kept spitting dirty words on his lips to vent his excitement.

This ball is really wonderful, especially this overhead ball passed by Pippen, accurate, delicate, absolutely mastery.

The Rockets players could only helplessly watch Rodman vent his excitement there.

Seeing Bodi Roga, who scored like this, he walked up to Garnett's side and whispered: "Kevin, we have to return one, this ball is too slap in the face." ”

Garnett nodded and said, "You pass the ball, I'll finish, how about it." ”

Bodiroga nodded, didn't say anything, and went to serve.

The rocket went on the offensive.

The initiator of this attack is still Bodi Roga, who defended him, Kukoc, and said to Bodi Roga with red eyes: "Deyang, here, there is one on my head, I am waiting for you." ”

Bodi Roga looked at his former teammates and said: "Tony, we're playing, not vindictive, like you think of a 14.5-year-old like a provocation, do you think I'm going to be fooled, look, Tony, it must be the Rockets beating the Bulls today."

After saying that, leading Kukoc to run to Garnett, who had already come out to block people, after Garnett blocked people, Bodiroga took a big stride like an inside kill, and Rodman, who was opposite Garnett, pounced on him.

After taking two steps to the ball, Garnett, who had already reflexed off the free-throw line, was in place.

I could only watch Bodi Roga walk and walk, a direct pass with a flip of his wrist, and the same flew over Rodman's head, Garnett, who had already jumped up, grabbed the basketball tightly in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket fiercely, which was a very exciting aerial operation.

Rodman was also a little stunned when he looked at the same goal as himself, until Pippen pushed him and remembered that this was a game, not an exhibition match.

The Rockets launched a rapid offensive in the minutes after Jordan was off, and Garnett turned into an interior beast, scoring eight straight points, four rebounds, and two big hats in just four minutes.

Such an attack strength makes Phil on the sidelines? Jackson stood up anxiously, and in the meantime, the Rockets had extended the score to 12 points, and if it continued like this, the final quarter of the game would be difficult to play.

In the face of the rocket's strong attack, there was only one person left on the field to resist.

That's Pippen, although Rodman is also working hard, but Rodman really can't help on the offensive end, so Pippen can only resist the offense alone.

This is the last offense of the third quarter of the game, as long as you can score the Bulls and control the score to 10 points, then the fourth quarter will not be very difficult, if you can't get in, then the fourth quarter will be difficult.

Looking at Hori, who was defending himself, Pippen slowly controlled the ball, watching the timer pass quickly.

Just when there were 6 seconds left on the timer, Pippen moved, from extremely static to extremely dynamic, and the frequency conversion was so fast that Horry really couldn't finish it, looking at Pippen, who stepped into the paint area in two steps, Garnett and Big Ben won indomitable.

Looking at the two people who pounced, Pippen dribbled the ball with a very light crotch, pulled the ball back, and made a jump shot.

The basketball flew past the fingertips of Garnett, who was the tallest jumper, and Garnett, who was in the air, felt that he could touch the basketball as long as he turned it up a little, but this point was like a moat that could not be crossed.

Basketball is like a child returning to a mother's arms, getting into the basket accurately.

"Huh"

"Toot"

At the same time as the basketball drilled into the basket, the third quarter of the game was over.

81:71 The Rockets ended the third quarter with a 10-point lead.
