After O'Neal wreaked havoc on the Rockets' basket, the Rockets' players went on offense.

Bodi Roga's raised arm was held high like the peerless sword in Achilles' hand, and he said loudly, "Guys, let's give them a ball." ”

The Rockets responded loudly.

The players of the Rockets began to follow the arrangement of Lao Tang and began to run tactics.

Fan? Axel looked at Bodi Roga in front of him and felt a huge amount of pressure, the kind of invisible pressure that only happens to some of the old guys in the NBA, such as Stockton.

Axel was awe-struck in his heart, and secretly wondered: Is this Yugoslav really as difficult to deal with as those old guys? Can I stop this person's attack, the suspicion in my heart is slowly increasing.

Just in Fan? When Xcel's heart was churning, the rocket's attack began.

Bodi Roga relied on his height and weight to begin to break through to the Lakers' interior, his breakthrough speed was not fast, but the sense of rhythm was very strong, stepping on the opponent's most uncomfortable place at every step, and breaking through inward with people.

Very practical and effective.

Bodi Roga, who had already made a big break through to the paint zone, swept away from the corner of his eye, and Drexler and Horry, who were in ambush on the two bases, had already begun to slip in along the bottom line to the inside.

And O'Neill saw that Bodi Roga had broken through to the inside line, and did not hesitate to meet him, wanting to give Bodi Roga a big hat.

It's a pity that people weren't fooled at all, and at the moment when O'Neill was raised, Bodiroga passed the ball.

With a flick of the wrist, a ground-hitting pass bounced off O'Neal's side, and Drexler, who had already sneaked behind O'Neal, scored two points on a beautiful backhand layup.

Looking at the wonderful layup, Drexler hit Bodiroga with a punch after landing and said loudly: "Deyang, you passed awesomely." ”

Seeing this situation, O'Neill's face was even more unbearable.

However, he is not allowed to complain about anything, because the Lakers are starting to attack.

Fan? Xcel controlled the ball and continued to look at O'Neill on the inside.

Now the shark is competing with Big Ben for strength, and although O'Neill has a slight advantage, he does not have the advantage of the surname.

Observing the situation on the court, only to see Kobe? Bryant accelerated abruptly, and Drexler was a step away from him.

Running to the inside line at high speed, Xcel, who understood it, used his footsteps to shake off the first-line passing space, and the basketball was accurately handed over to Kobe? Bryant's hand.

Kobe Bryant, who caught the ball, took a big step into the interior, and then jumped high to complete a powerful one-handed slam dunk in the Rockets' basket.

The idea was good, but he also underestimated the Rockets' ability to confine the air inside, and just when he thought he was about to succeed in his dunk, a big black hand covered the basketball straight up, and the power from the hand was not something he could compete with.

Then I heard a voice in my ear, saying, "Man, you are underestimating us too much." ”

Bryant was in the air, with a corner of his eye swept away, only a mouthful of white teeth were seen, and then he felt like he had lost control of the ball.

With a "snap", the basketball was pulled out hard.

The man who covered Kobe Bryant with a big hat roared wildly when he landed on the ground, and the sound was full of wildness.

Kobe Bryant looked at the person in front of him with a dark face, this high school student like him, who was now his target to catch up.

He's Kevin? Garnett.

Looking at such a powerful block, the Rockets' players all stepped forward to celebrate with Garnett.

Horrible guy, here's what all the Lakers players have to say about this Garnett.

And former Celtic superstar McHale, who is far away in Minnesota, is also bleeding in his heart.

Lao Tang on the sidelines also jumped up from the bench happily when he saw the ball, raised his hands excitedly, and hugged the staff around him.

Looking at the situation in front of him, O'Neal, as the leader of the team, stepped forward, comforted Kobe, and said, "Okay, man, don't be sad, just call back." ”

Kobe Bryant said with a dark face: "Shaq, I'm not sad, I'm just thinking about how to fight back." ”

After speaking, he went to serve without looking back, and O'Neal, who was hit hard by Kobe's attitude, was a little unbearable on his face, and he was about to reprimand Kobe when he turned around.

Fox on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Okay, Shaq, that kid is covered, and he's in a bad mood, don't worry about him." ”

Seeing that the good old man of the team spoke, O'Neal could only hold back the words that came to his lips, glanced at Fox and said, "Okay, brother, give you face." ”

After that, he went deep into the basket and was ready to start the offense.

The Rockets continued to strengthen their defense, but the offense was still scored by the Lakers, and after a number of turnovers, Fox threw in a mid-range shot.

The Rockets attacked again, looking at the Lakers who had already set up the formation, the Rockets still started to attack according to the established tactics.

Bodi Roga broke through the defense that attracted the inside, and if the Lakers center was raised, then Drexler, who slipped on the baseline on both sides, or Horry, or Garnett, all launched an attack.

Once, the Lakers' center is not mentioned, then Bodi Roga can completely score on his own.

In addition to the basket with a rebounding monster Ben? Wallace really caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers' interior line.

And once the Lakers strengthened their defense of the two baselines, then Horry and Drexler took turns outside the three-point line between 30 degrees and 45 degrees left and right, and made frequent shots.

For a time, the Lakers fell into a state of internal and external difficulties.

Seeing this situation, Harris also quickly made adjustments, and Fox switched to Bodi Roga.

An attempt was made to suppress the engine of the rocket and, as a result, to control the attack of the rocket.

Seeing this situation, the Rockets began to make substitutions, with Big Bus and Saullius coming on to replace Drexler and Big Ben.

In this way, the Rocket's passing point has increased by one.

Bodiroga Saullius and the two began to change positions frequently, and with the addition of both of them having accurate three-point shots, the Rockets occupied an absolute advantage in the entire outside competition.

Kobe Bryant can occasionally score on the offensive end, but on the defensive end he encountered a great challenge, the fierce Lithuanian, hit Kobe Bryant with his muscles again and again, obviously when the two people lost their center of gravity after hitting each other, the opponent could always pass the ball or shoot by himself, and after he was hit, it was difficult to exert force, Kobe Bryant fell into confusion for a while.

It was in this situation that the Rockets ended the first quarter of the game.

The Rockets led by eight points at 30:22.

In the interval between games, Lao Tang said to his players: "Good job, we can suppress the Lakers to such an extent, it seems that our tactics are still effective." The basis of our tactics is compressed by the Lakers' overall defensive formation, and then a hole is opened in the back of the opponent's defense, and if the opponent starts to defend behind, then our frontal shooters have a chance to shoot and hit them. Okay, keep playing according to the predetermined tactics, go ahead, the Lakers are not your opponent. ”

And on the Lakers side, Harris is also making-for-tat deployments, Harris said: "Everyone, look at it, the Rockets are now attacking our basket through two bottom corners, Shaq, from the second quarter, you have to defend the basket for me, no matter whose offense it is, to the basket then you are your territory, you have to play down, let the Rockets know where your no-fly zone is, Kobe, and Eddie, you two give me a good look at the bottom line, Fox, you continue to keep an eye on the Yugoslav for me and don't relax in the slightest, I'm going to see what else they can do. ”

But what Harris didn't want to play was that the second quarter of the Rockets' game was opened on the inside.

After the start of the second quarter, Bodiroga controlled the ball and slowly approached the Lakers' three-point line.

After receiving the ball, the bus looked at O'Neill, who had already followed, with a slight smile on his face.

With a flip of the wrist, a pass close to O'Neal's waist reached Garnett, who had slipped inside.

Against Campbell, who was defending himself, Garnett just took a step, and then a quick one-handed dunk with a "bang" gave the Rockets two points.

Seeing such a situation on the court, Harris shouted from the sidelines: "Shaq, watch the inside, the inside." ”

O'Neill, who heard the shouting, nodded silently, signaling that he knew.

However, the next offense, made O'Neal more uncomfortable scene, if he did not follow the bus out, then the Chinese's accurate shot, the threat to the Lakers is also quite large, if you go out, then Garnett will frequently go deep into the basket singles.

If he goes to defend Garnett, then Campbell can't withstand the Chinese's back hit, and Garnett's mid-range shot is also very accurate.

Now O'Neill is really struggling and doesn't know what to do at all.

Halfway through the first half, O'Neal called a timeout, and the Sharks, who returned to the sidelines, looked at Harris and said, "I want to know how to beat the Rockets, can you teach me?" Instructor. ”

Looking at the fat face that was full of sweat but full of sincerity, Harris was silent.

One such request from a player made Harris very helpless.

However, now the rocket is invulnerable, what should I do, what should I do.

This made the old man very helpless.

Taking a long breath, Harris said, "Shaq, I know you want to win, but I also want to win, but the current Rockets are very powerful, and I think you have experienced it yourself." So, it's up to everyone to win, now everyone doesn't play marking, start playing zone defense, and wrap up the personnel in the area at any time, no matter who it is, as long as it enters your area, just keep an eye on him for me, and definitely can't let them shoot so easily. ”

As he spoke, he drew a large section of tactical running on the tactical board.

After the players on both sides came on the court, the Lakers obviously started to defend the area, which effectively suppressed the Rockets' offense.

However, Harris was overlooked, and now the players on the court, three of whom have played under international basketball rules, are familiar with such tactics, and after a minute of silence, the Rockets found a way to deal with it.

That is, the ball is always faster than the person, speed up the pass, and look for opportunities on the run.

The Rockets quickly suppressed the Lakers on both offensive and defensive ends, and the passing and receiving cooperation of three international players completely broke the Lakers' regional defense.

At the end of the first half, the Rockets ended the game with a 13-point advantage.

Looking at O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, who were leaving with black faces, Olajuwon, who had already sat on the court for half the court, said to Lao Tang with a smile: "Coach, isn't it time for me to show off in the second half." ”

Lao Tang also laughed and said, "Why do you old guy, you also want to tease that shark." ”

Olajuwon laughed and said, "Coach, I don't have many opportunities like this in the future." ”

Hearing this, Lao Tang just smiled and didn't say anything.

Olajuwon himself understands quite well, even if he is playing, I don't have many opportunities, don't take advantage of the fact that I am molesting more now, this cute shark, hehe, there will not be many opportunities in the future.
