At halftime, Phil Jackson was in the Bulls' locker room, looking at the Bulls' players, and said casually: "How do you feel about this game, let's talk about it." ”

For a while, there was no sound in the Bulls' locker room, and even Rodman, who is usually the most maverick, was silent.

Seeing all this, Jordan stood up and said: "Then I'll talk about it, in fact, we played very badly in the first half, really bad, look at who they are on the court in the second quarter of the Rockets, they are all a group of hairy boys, I was actually suppressed by a group of hairy boys for a whole section, which is incredible." I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm very, very dissatisfied. Jordan fully expressed his dissatisfaction at this moment.

Rodman was a little embarrassed on the side, and muttered: "Those kids from the Rockets are not as weak as you think." ”

Jordan glared at Rodman and said, "Dennis, do you have any comments. ”

Looking at Jordan, who was about to get angry, Rodman pouted and said, "No, you go on." ”

Seeing Jordan who was about to get angry again, Phil Jackson hurriedly said: "Guys, it can be said that the current Rockets are our biggest opponents on the road to defending the title this season, we have lost to them once on our home court, we can't let them beat us again, in that case, the Rockets will build strong confidence, so that it is possible that they will gain some kind of psychological advantage in the future championship competition." So, this game, we have to win. The first half of the game, in my opinion, was just a test to see how many of the Rockets' hole cards have not been revealed, and now that their hole cards are almost all opened, then in the second half, it is time for us to fight back. Immediately, he picked up the tactical board and began to lay out the tactics.

The Bulls players were quietly listening to Phil Jackson laying out the second half of the game.

And in the locker room of the rocket, the same scene is unfolding.

Lao Tang, drawing complicated lines on the tactical board, began to explain the tactical system of the second half of the rocket.

"Boys, oh, and the old men over there." Before the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.

"Hehe, it's good for everyone to be relaxed. But don't be too relaxed, our opponent is the Chicago Bulls, it is an opponent who is not careful, and even the belt bones will be swallowed by others, don't believe it, if it doesn't work, let's make a bet. At the start of the second half, the Bulls will fight back to the death, because we have already beaten them once on their home court, and I guess they don't want to lose to us once. Otherwise, there will be some subtle changes both for them and for us. So, they will inevitably start fighting back. Jordan's point, it's impossible to block it, all we can do is to create trouble for him and increase the pressure, and that's what we're going to do now. Pippen is very critical to this, we can put Jordan, but absolutely not Pippen, Jordan is just a scorer, and Pippen is a playmaker, there is a big difference between the two. Robert and Sboga, you two will take turns in the second half, keep an eye on this guy. Rodman's point, his biggest energy is reflected in the defense, in the second half all the inside lines take turns to play, let him know what a wheel battle is, I believe he can't be tired, other people, such as Harper, Kerr, Kukoc, Longley and other role players, you have to be careful, if they suddenly erupt, then the Chicagoans will easily take away a victory. Old Tang took this tactical board and began to explain the main points of the second half of the game.

The clock passed quickly, and the third quarter was about to begin.

When the players on both sides entered the stadium, what made the Bulls very angry was that the Rockets still did not replace the main players, and they were still a group of benches fighting against them.

However, this also shows the Rockets' strong reserve strength, and a team that can fight with the Bulls to this level with a group of bench players is really not the only one in the league.

As the referee's whistle blew, the second half of the game between the Rockets and Bulls began.

As Lao Tang expected, the Bulls launched a counterattack at the beginning of the second half, Jordan got the ball directly into the Rockets' restricted area, shook off Marrick Rose on the inside, and dunked it again.

Looking at the arrogant and domineering dunk and the calm Jordan, such a strong contrast made the Rockets feel a strong sense of slaughter.

After all, the Rockets are all young players, and under the strong pressure of the Bulls, the Rockets began to make mistakes.

Bodi Roga put the ball in the hands of Marrick Ross on the inside, and Rodman pounced like a mad dog, and Rodman muttered: "Boy, look at your mid-range shooting in the first half." However, only those who can attack under the basket are real men, do you kid, let me see if you are a real man. ”

Marrick Ross looked at the fierce man behind him, and he hesitated a little, not knowing whether to prepare to play himself or pass the ball out.

Just as he hesitated, he heard (Jr.) Mark Jackson say, "Be careful, Malik. ”

It turned out that when Marik Rose hesitated, Harper had sneaked over, and then stabbed his hand suddenly, and the basketball in Rose's hand lost control and flew out directly.

Pippen had already started to go down quickly when he saw Harper make a successful steal.

Three big strides across the half, Saulius followed like a shadow, but Pippen is Pippen after all, after receiving the ball, he slammed and stopped the assault, Saulius was caught off guard and braked the car, the center did not take back, at this moment, Pippen started again, 2 big strides to throw Saulius away, and then a flying buckle.

The speed is no less than the rapid attack tactics of the rocket.

The Bulls' counterattack was so fast and ferocious that in just three minutes, the Rockets' lead had been lost.

It has gone from a 10-point lead to a draw.

Looking at the situation on the field, Lao Tang's assistant suggested whether to take a timeout to ease the situation.

Although Lao Tang frowned, he still shook his head firmly and said: "This is a test for them, look at this ball, if this ball can't be scored, then we will call a timeout, if it is scored, we will continue." ”

After speaking, his eyes were fixed on the situation on the field.

Bodiroga was in steady control of the ball, and he knew that the ball had to be scored, and if he couldn't score it for the Rockets, he would be very passive.

Thinking of this, Bodiroga took a deep breath and slowly increased the speed of the dribble, and he decided that the ball would come by himself.

Standing in front of Bodi Roga was Pippen, who looked at the young man in front of him and immediately remembered the young man who scored 23 points in front of him at the '96 Olympics.

Pippen said lightly to Bodi Roga: "You can't get this ball in." ”

Bodi Roga didn't say anything, still firmly controlling the basketball, his eyes as if searching for the space behind his opponent.

Just when Pippen thought that Bodiroga was not ready to pass, the Europeans began to break through, Bodiroga's breakthrough is not speed, nor power, it seems to be relatively slow, but the rhythm is very good, and every step is stepping on your most uncomfortable place.

This unique breakthrough made Pippen, who had seen various opponents, very uncomfortable.

After two big strides into the paint area, Harper and Rodman had already made up for it, and it was up to them to see if they were going to flank Bodi Roga.

Bodi Roca knew that if he was pressing one step upward, he would inevitably be caught by three people.

However, I am already destined to play this ball by myself, I can't be afraid of anything, I don't have to be afraid of anything, I'm afraid that it can solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Bodi Roga gritted his teeth, and suddenly put the back of the ball on Rodman's body with both hands, and Rodman was also stunned.

At this moment, the most exciting scene happened, Bodi Roga made a standard center move, a left foot as the axis, and a turn dodged Rodman, Pippen and Harper's blocks, ending the offense with a layup.

This series of actions was smooth and natural, very charming, and his goal won the applause of all the fans present.

The applause from the fans endured.

Even Lao Tang applauded this ball hitting festival, and the Rockets' bench was also full of admiration.

Garnett was also stunned when he saw Bodi Roga's action, and immediately complained to Olajuwon: "Hakim, you are eccentric, see that Dejan has learned your movements so well, why am I still doing it so bluntly." ”

Olajuwon laughed and said, "Kevin, don't be envious, I just told him about this action, but I didn't expect him to use it well." Still, it's a bit blunt, not much better than you. ”

Looking at the jubilation on the Rockets bench, Rodman, who was thrown away by Bodi Roga, was also angry enough.

Seeing that the defense was about to be successful, this boiled duck could also fly, which he did not expect.

Looking at Bodi Roga, who was about to retreat, Rodman whispered: "Boy, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it." ”

Bodi Roga shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Are you God?" I'm sorry, you're not. ”

Looking at Bodi Roga, who had left with a relaxed face, Rodman already had a feeling that he was about to explode.

Although, the Rockets scored a very wonderful goal, but in terms of momentum, the Bulls have been suppressing the Rockets, and in the next game, the Bulls opened the score little by little.

With five minutes left, the Bulls had stretched the score to eight points.

At this time, Lao Tang stood up from his seat.

waved Garnett and Big Ben for (Jr.) Mark Jackson and Marrick Rose.

looked at the two people who came down and said, "You played well, have a good rest, you still have a chance in the fourth quarter." ”

After hearing this, the two blushed a little, they knew that during the period just now, the Bulls caught up and overtook the score, completely because of the loss of control on the inside.

Garnett and Big Ben quickly took control of the somewhat out-of-control interior, and the Rockets stabilized their line.

The scores between the two sides hovered back and forth between 6-8 points.

Such a score made Phil Jackson feel very uncomfortable, if the Rockets' original two interior lines were still on the court just now, then after this quarter, the Bulls would definitely increase the score to 15 points, but this is just Phil Jackson's wishful thinking.

The head coach of the Rockets is not a rookie, he is also an old fox.

Now that Phil Jackson understands what Lao Tang means, he wants to use this game to let the young people who are still a little scared of the bulls see the world and practice and lay the foundation for the playoffs in the future.

However, there is absolutely no way to stop such an action. I can only watch.

In Phil Jackson's thoughts, the time for the third quarter of the game came.

The Bulls caught up and overtook the lead in the third quarter, but as everyone knows, it wasn't a big deal.

83:77

The Bulls went into the deciding quarter with a six-point advantage.
