With Harper hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Bulls took a one-point lead in the final moments of the first half, which made the Bulls players very excited and hugged Harper towards the locker room.

The Rockets are a bit depressed, and it is definitely not a cool thing to be overtaken at the last moment.

Mark? Jackson muttered, "This Harper's luck is too good, didn't this kid wash his panties last night." ”

Hearing this, the other Rockets players shook their heads for a while, and Drexler came up and put his arms around Mark? Jackson walked in the direction of the locker room.

As he walked, he said: "Dude, don't talk about it here, let's just pay them back in the second half, do you need to talk so much." ”

After returning to the locker room, the players took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat there waiting for Lao Tang to arrange the tactics for the second half.

However, Lao Tang did not arrange the second half tactics for the Rockets' players, because the tactics he wanted to talk about now had already been arranged before.

Lao Tang smiled and said to everyone: "Guys, you know, this time next year, we can move into the new arena for the game. ”

Olajuwon also smiled and said: "We heard, coach, it is said that the facilities are very good and very modern. ”

Old Tang nodded and said, "Yes, Hakim, no one in the new venue has a personal reading space to store their belongings. However, don't do any contraband, if you really do any contraband, you don't need the alliance to take action, our boss can clean you up by himself, don't blame me for not interceding for you when the time comes. ”

Everyone at the bottom laughed.

At least these current players are not hard-hearted players, or players with heart, there are old soups, Dawsons, and Tigers, and they can also clean up and obey.

Lao Tang looked at his players and said: "I told you about the new stadium to tell you that the boss has promised that if we can win the championship this year, our bronze statue will appear in the championship corridor, hehe, this is good news." ”

As soon as these words came out, the rocket crowd was in a heated discussion.

Garnett said in a loud voice, "Coach, don't lie to us. ”

Lao Tang shook his head and said, "What am I lying to you about, do I have any benefit, and Kevin, you kid actually suspects the coach." Tomorrow's regular training, your kid's training volume is double. ”

Garnett was crying at the time, and Mark was beside Garnett and encouraged him to ask questions? Jackson laughed a little.

However, Lao Tang also cried when he said the next sentence, so he heard Lao Tang say: "Mark, I see that you are smiling very strongly, and your training volume will be doubled tomorrow." ”

Mark after hearing this? Jackson screamed at the time and said, "Coach, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Lao Tang shrugged indifferently and said: "Anyway, one person is also practicing, and two people are also practicing, oh, by the way, I forgot to say, guys, if you win the game today, and tomorrow morning's training is canceled, you can take a good rest." ”

After saying this, Garnett and Mark? Jackson hugged his head and cried.

However, Lao Tang's words changed sharply, and it also gave hope to the two of them, so they heard Lao Tang say: "If the two of you can win the game after the game, the team wins, Kevin can reach a score of 20+8+3, you can rest, and if Mark can reach a score of 12+6, you can also rest, don't say I didn't give you a chance." ”

After hearing this, the two of them immediately came to life, and one by one they patted their chests properly, and they all said that there was no problem.

After the atmosphere of several people was adjusted, some of the solemn atmosphere in the locker room completely disappeared.

The Rockets are still very good at adjusting the atmosphere of their players.

Lao Tang wasn't joking, he was just telling the Rockets players about the precautions of the game in the second half.

And some problems in the first half of the game, the defense of Pippen, how to speed up the rotation and how to continue to consume Jordan's physical energy, etc.

The atmosphere on the Rockets side is relaxed, while the Bulls side is a little solemn.

In the Bulls' locker room, Phil? Jackson was also talking about some summaries of the first half and some general directions and things to pay attention to in the second half.

Just listen to Phil? Jackson said: "Guys, everyone played well in the first half, we effectively suppressed the Rockets' offense, successfully disrupted their rhythm, failed to let them play their rhythm, which everyone did very well, and we have to keep going in the second half, look, I said, the Rockets have nothing to be afraid of, are we still leading in the first half." ”

The Bulls' players let out a chuckle.

Phil? Jackson also smiled and continued: "However, in the first half, the defense of everyone still needs to be improved, especially the defense of Olajuwon and Bodi Roga, which is not very in place, in the first half, Olajuwon, an old man, played 15 minutes and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, why do you want this old man to score a triple-double in today's game." Although, Olajuwon has such ability, but we are against him, not to watch the game, all the second half starts, as long as Olajuwon is on the field, I will stare at him to the death, you know. ”

Phil? Jackson glanced at the defenders on the inside, and Longley and Rodman nodded hurriedly.

"And this Serb, you let this kid score 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half of the game, you guys are really good, you have to make two triple-doubles in a game, you guys are very good, don't you think we have enough championships, don't you care about this one, you don't care, I care, is it easy for everyone to get to this point today? At the beginning of the league, Scott was injured and everyone's results were miserable, and then Scott came back to ensure the strength of the rotation on the field, and we slowly became the best team in the East, so everyone must concentrate, a team that is not focused will not be able to achieve good results. "Phil? Jackson's tone gradually intensified.

And Jordan on the side was also silently watching Jackson talk about some precautions in the second half.

However, some scenes of the game in the first half were still Jordan's own heart, although the Rockets were also very strict in their defense in the first half, they were not the most desperate, Jordan always felt that the Rockets had any special tactics for themselves.

However, at this time, Jordan didn't know if raising this question now would have any impact on the psychology of his team.

Just when Jordan hesitated, Phil, who had already discovered that Jordan was a little abnormal? Jackson, to Jordan, asked, "Michael, what's wrong with you, what's wrong?" ”

As soon as Jordan looked up, he saw Phil? Jackson was watching him.

At this time, Jordan did not hesitate and said: "Coach, I don't think the Rockets' defense against me in the first half is not very good, I don't think they have any specific tactics waiting for me." ”

Listened to Jordan's question, Phil? Jackson was also stunned, but he didn't expect Jordan's question to be this, thought for a moment and said: "I estimate that there will be, but it won't be a lethal tactic, the Rockets are not the bad boy army of the original Pistons." Well, I'm sorry, Dennis, I'm not talking about you, I'm just referring to you. In the second half, I estimate that the Rockets will continue to consume your physical strength, after all, we have just gone through 7 big battles with the Pacers, and it is a defect in physical fitness after all, so I think they still pin their hopes on the last quarter of the game, the Rockets can play a lot of people, and all 12 of their players can play, and they all have their own characteristics, so they have different options, we are different, we have relatively few people who play, and we can only rely on a few main players or main substitutes to grab points, The rockets can take turns on the field, consuming our physical strength and energy wave by wave, this is their theme strategy, this is completely overwhelming. ”

Looking at Phil who was a little worried? Jackson, Jordan next to him, immediately reminded: "Coach, it's time for us to play." ”

Jackson, who reacted immediately, nodded to Jordan, and then said loudly: "Okay, guys, let's play, let's go beat the Rockets." ”

The bulls shouted in unison, "Defeat the Rockets." ”

Watching the high-morale bulls rush to the ring, Phil? Jackson walked up to Jordan and whispered, "Thank you, Michael, if the players notice that their manager's mood is not normal, it will affect the combat effectiveness. ”

Jordan smiled and said, "It's nothing, Phil, this is what I should do, don't you have much confidence in this series." ”

Phil? Jackson said with a wry smile: "Seriously, Michael, I estimate that the Bulls' winning rate in this series is less than 30%, and the Rockets are now very well configured, and there are players in every position." The current rocket has experience, momentum, calm and spicy and extremely impactful, quite difficult to deal with, our biggest reliance is you, if there is no you, we can surrender directly. ”

Looking at Jackson with a wry smile on his face, Jordan nodded silently and said, "Don't worry, Phil, I won't give up, the next rocket to the top must step on my corpse to go up." ”

Phil on the side? Jackson looked at Jordan with a resolute face, and not only sighed, Jordan is Jordan.

If it weren't for the strength of the Rockets today, the Bulls' second triple championship would have been completely complete.

And Phil, who completed two dynasties? Jackson will definitely be one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, and his name will definitely be engraved in NBA history.

However, it's hard to say now, looking at the strong rockets, Phil? Jackson has a deep sense of powerlessness, and he can vaguely feel that his future will deeply intersect with the rocket, but he doesn't know whether it will be good or bad.

Right in Phil? While Jackson was thinking, the second half of Game 1 of the Finals began.
