Chapter 317 Radiant

In the first game with the Lakers, the Rockets have lost the meaning of the game after O'Neal left the court early. Johnson and Ac Green tried their best, but they couldn't stop the Rockets' rotation of attacks from several interior lines, especially the combined attack of Da Yao and Garnett.

There were no surprises in the game, and the Rockets came out victorious. However, when the game was over, looking at O'Neal's iron-clad face, the Rockets players knew that they were not going to be so easy to deal with in the next game.

When the Lakers go back to their hotel, Phil? Jackson walked up to O'Neal and said in a deep voice, "Shaq, I know you're very annoyed right now, but do you know why the Rockets are using lethal tactics against you?" ”

O'Neal whispered with blood-red eyes: "I know, they're scared of me, and Rocket is scared of me." ”

"You're right, Shaq, but the best way to get revenge on the Rockets is not to punch them on the field, but to beat them in the game. Then, humiliating them severely, that's the best way to get revenge, you know? "Phil? Jackson's voice exuded a hint of cruelty.

"Coach, I understand what you mean, I know what to do, I won't let those kids of the Rockets watch our jokes, I vow to give them a good look, a lesson, a lesson to remember in the next game." O'Neill gritted his teeth and said, but the murderous aura that loomed in his words was already chilling.

On the Rockets' side, Lao Tang smiled at his players and said, "Good play, stinky boys, I guess Shaq is crying now." ”

The Rockets players laughed for a while, and then listened to Lao Tang continue: "Today, everyone's restrictions on the Lakers have done a very good job, and they can be described as the best teams in the league, but you must remember that O'Neal is the most lethal player in the league, you must not be careless, the Lakers are not so easy to deal with, they will not be willing to lose today, they will fight back in the next game, I am sure of this." ”

Hearing this, the Rockets' players were also silent for a while, they knew that the Lakers would not give up like this, and O'Neal would not give up like this.

Tiger, who was on the side, looked at the solemnity on the faces of the Rockets' players, and said with a smile: "Okay, guys, what is there to be afraid of, we can beat them once and beat them a second time, don't forget that our Rockets are the team that kicked Jordan off the altar, what do we have to be afraid of." Do you think O'Neal is more difficult to deal with than Jordan? Everyone should have faith and not be so depressed. ”

"Hey, boss, we're not depressed, we value our opponents, we won't be afraid of any opponents, and the rockets are not so easy to defeat." Mark? Jackson screamed from the side.

"Well, Mark was right. In addition, I think it should be that the Lakers should be afraid of us, not that we are afraid of the Lakers, even if O'Neal is very strong, but we are not papery. Garnett snarled from the side.

Then, the Rockets players began to talk nonsense, cheering themselves on.

Lao Tang and Tiger glanced at each other, very satisfied with the morale of the Rockets now, Lao Tang whispered to Tiger: "Boss, do you think we can solve the Lakers in a few games." ”

Tiger thought for a moment and said: "I estimate 7 games, because the strength of the Lakers is really strong this year, the Lakers are stronger than the Trail Blazers, I am sure of that." ”

Lao Tang was shocked when he heard it, he knew that his boss had a very experienced grasp of the trend of the game, and even sometimes Lao Tang felt that if he retired, his boss could take over the Rockets and become an excellent head coach, but this matter is just a matter of thinking, you let a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions become the head coach of a basketball team, I don't know who is crazy.

And the second game proved everything Tiger said, O'Neal was like eating gunpowder, it began to explode, the inside line of the rocket was ruthlessly ravaged, and even Big Ben was blown up by the angry O'Neal.

The crazy O'Neal scored 46 points and rebounds in the second game, but such a result still did not allow the Lakers to achieve the final victory, because the Rockets also exploded, and this person's explosion was even crazier than O'Neal.

Let's get back on the field and take a look at Team Rocket's performance.

Harper looked at the opponent in front of him, full of cold sweat, because the person in front of him had scored 4 points after the end of the first three quarters of the game, such a score could not help but shock this old guy who has been in the league for more than ten years, he knew that this foreigner was strong, but they didn't know that this Yugoslav would be so strong.

Harper looked at Bodiloga with a blank face, knowing that he was in the background today. Yes, there is no doubt that Harper is in the background today, just as O'Neal turned Big Ben, Big Yao, Muhammad and others into the background, Bodi Loga turned Harper, Fisher and even Kobe Bryant into the background.

Today's Bodi Loga seems to have become a scoring machine, constantly scoring, scoring, scoring.

Bodiloga, who controls the ball, is now in a very calm mood, it can be said that he is calm to the extreme, he is observing the movement of his teammates on the court, and suddenly Big Ben is raised, Bodiloga takes the ball around, Harper hits Big Ben's body, and Bodi Loga, who has space to sell, does not hesitate to shoot three points.

Harper could only helplessly watch the ball drill into the Lakers' basket again, Phil on the sidelines? Jackson is also very helpless, today does not belong to O'Neal, today belongs to Bodi Loga.

Looking at the data in his hand, he knew that today's Lakers no longer had any chances, and today's Yugoslavs had already scored 5 points when the game was 6 minutes left.

Match with Phil? Jackson's sigh was over, and O'Neal also left with heavy steps, he couldn't believe today's game, today's game his swing was perfect, but the Rockets cut a terrifying 6 points and rebounds and assists today.

In the face of such ungodly data, what else can O'Neill say, looking at the smiling Yugoslav with a spring breeze on her face, he has no temper at all.

Lao Tang didn't want to believe that all this was true, and looked at the data on the sidelines, while Tiger was already excited and couldn't help himself, and rushed directly into the court and hugged the handsome Yugoslav.

The second game was in the explosion of the two people, and the final victory was the Rockets O:O, and the Lakers lost to the Sky Arena again.

On the flight back to Los Angeles, O'Neal closed his eyes and reflected on what he had experienced in the autumn sky, and he knew that if he couldn't find a way to deal with the rockets, the championship would be more and more distant from him. With that paranoid upbringing, he didn't know how long he could rule the Lakers.

Looking at O'Neal with his eyes closed, Phil? Jackson sighed softly, not only for O'Neill, but also for himself. In fact, he knows many people who say that his road to success is due to people, this is the case in the Bulls, and it is also the case in the Lakers, but now the most envious is indeed his current opponent Lao Tang, there is a world-class rich man behind Lao Tang, people don't care about money, there is a most humane general manager in the league, and people know how to deal with the relationship with players.

And he, a shrewd boss, a tough general manager, which makes it very difficult for him as a head coach, to say when the results are good, but when the results are not good, it is uncomfortable.

He is also under tremendous pressure now, the Rockets' strong combat power has always suppressed the Lakers' progress, and he doesn't know what he is going to do, because the strength of the Rockets has cast a shadow on the Lakers' future.

Some time ago, the Lakers wanted to exchange O'Neal for Garnett and the national champion of the Rockets, but he proposed it to Old Bass in private, but the Rockets didn't take care of the Lakers' trade, and they also buried a huge hidden danger within the Lakers, which made Phil? Jackson had a terrible headache, and he really didn't know how long he would last.

And at this time in the Lakers, there is even one person who has a lot of doubts about the Lakers' current tactical play, this person is Kobe? Bryant, the current Kobe Bryant is no longer the rookie of the tough league, Kobe Bryant, who is already an All-Star level player, now wants to get more say, now he can only be regarded as the No. 3 figure within the Lakers, O'Neal, Rice, and even Harper and Ac Green are not very cold to him, and Kobe is very dissatisfied with the performance of other Lakers players in the two games of the Rockets. He complained a lot about Fisher, who had a good relationship with him, in private, and he wanted to get more shots and basketball dominance, but now he could only follow Phil? Jackson's strategy, playing the ball on the outside for the inside, is more about cutting into the air rather than taking the ball to break through or shoot as he pleases.

The Lakers' two-game losses made him feel that he was thinking correctly, and he even decided when he wanted to play Phil? Jackson: Let's talk about it.

With a lot of ideas, the Lakers welcomed Game 3 of their Western Conference Finals against the Rockets at Staples Arena. Before the start of the game, Phil? Jackson said to the Lakers players, "Boys, I don't want to get tired of reading how important this game is to you, you know, if this game is lost, then we're just going to go home, think about your championship dreams." With that, he raised his hand to signal that the players were ready to play.

O'Neal roared in a low voice as he came on, "Guys, let's teach the Rockets a good lesson and let them know that this is Stamps, not Sky Arena." ”

With the roar of the Lakers players, the third game of the Western Conference Finals between the Rockets and the Lakers officially began.

After the start of the game, the Lakers behaved very strongly, and the Rockets also behaved very tough, as long as they were not blocked on the inside, they resolutely fouled, and O'Neal fell into the quagmire of free throws again. However, today's explosive O'Neal has a very high shooting rate in free throws, and the Lakers' outside players are also very good today, the Lakers can be said to be leading all the way and winning the game they must win.

turned the big score of the two sides into: , Bodi Loga's performance is still eye-catching, although he is not scoring such perverted data, but the results of rebounds and assists in the whole game once again shocked the Lakers into a cold sweat.

After a home win over the Rockets, there was a lot less pressure on the Lakers, and they could breathe a sigh of relief and prepare for Game 4 between the two sides.

After the game, in private Leo O'Neill showed great interest in Bodilloga, and he even suggested in private that the old Bas get Bodiloga in his hands.

Old Bas listened to a wry smile in his heart, and wanted to grab food in Tiger's mouth, which was purely looking for death.

The fourth game continued to be played on the Lakers' home court, and although they won one game, the Lakers did not dare to be careless at all, because they didn't know that the Lakers' player in that game could make the Lakers fall into the abyss.

Sure enough, the Lakers' caution was justified, and Ray was suppressed for three games? Allen, who made his own voice in the fourth game, shots, wonderful passes, violent dunks, and was forgotten in the first three games, began his own performance, and in addition to Bodi Loga's consistent toughness, the Rockets' backcourt combined to score 54 points in the fourth game, which once made the Lakers feel amazing pressure.

Fortunately, the Lakers players withstood the pressure, and O'Neal, Rice and Kobe Bryant all scored more than O points before pulling the Lakers up the cliff again.

The Rockets lost to the Lakers by a difference, and this game let the Lakers know a little, as long as one of these people in the Rockets can explode, then the Lakers will be very dangerous.

The Lakers, who finally made the score to: dare not slack off in the slightest, they have to prepare for the most critical battle of Tianwang Mountain.

And the Rockets, who lost two games in a row, cheered up under the supervision of Lao Tang, and on the training ground, Lao Tang scolded loudly: "Do you stinky boys think that we have a home-court advantage, even if we play the seventh game, we also have an advantage, why don't you want to think about it, now we are playing against the Trail Blazers, if it weren't for a key frontcourt rebound from Big Ben at the last moment, you might have gone home." Now you are still so complacent, who gave you all the strength to do this, who allowed you to do this, I now tell you very formally, if anyone does not give their best in the game, then who will wait for me to sit on the bench. ”

Lao Tang's words are categorical and resolute, and even the most sluggish people can feel the ruthlessness, and the Rockets players know that Lao Tang is not telling them jokes, if anyone really doesn't work hard in the game, then they may be greeted with endless bench careers.

With such hunger and ruthlessness, the battle between the Rockets and the Lakers began.

At the beginning of this game, the Lakers and Rockets put their best energy into competing for the victory of this game, and both sides felt that whoever can win this game will get the final victory.

The game was extremely dull, and the defense-oriented strategies of both sides made the game drowsy, and many Lakers fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the game after the game, because it was not like playing basketball, but playing football.

Fouls became the main theme of this game, the Lakers' defense was very tough, and the Rockets' defense was the same as suffocating, O'Neal and Bodilloga became the main players of the fouls on both sides.

But it was not these two people who dominated the outcome of the game, a red number player, who became the key to this game.

Yes, you guessed it right, it was Garnett, who stepped up in the fifth game of silence, and his inexplicable straight-arm shot became a nightmare for all the Lakers' defenders. In the first half alone, Garnett had nine points and seven rebounds.

At the break, Garnett became the most popular figure in the Rockets locker room.

However, after the start of the game in the second half of the game, the huge sharks of the Lakers began to threaten, and the continuous attacks on the Rockets' interior line have made the Rockets' interior line rumorful.

O'Neal scored 4 points in the entire third quarter of the game, looking at O'Neal who walked off the court with an arrogant face, and after the start of the game in the fourth quarter, he found O'Neal with red eyes and panting.

People say: The soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead. Now the big book is already dead, looking at the violent big book, even O'Neill has been suppressed.

In the entire quarter of the game, O'Neal only made four shots, and such a result directly led to the loss of the Lakers.

At 99:9, the rocket won the battle of Tianwang Mountain with great difficulty.

And the most amazing thing is still Bodi Loga, this kid has won a triple-double in 4 consecutive games, which can be described as radiant, everyone knows that the Rockets have half a foot in the finals.

On the special plane back to Houston, Old Tang smiled at Brooks and said very relaxedly: "Hehe, Scott, it seems that we have hope to end this series in Game 6." ”

Brooks also said relaxedly: "Yes, teacher, very hopeful, I don't know who our opponent in the finals is." ”

"It doesn't matter who it is, anyway, the final victory will be rockets, I can be sure of that." Lao Tang said very firmly.

"Hehe, teacher, you have to be careful of that kid 'Big Bird', walkers are not so easy to deal with." Brooks spoke of his choice.

Lao Tang smiled slightly: "It seems that you are optimistic about the walkers." However, I do have a big eye on the Eagles, and maybe my opponent will be Wilkens. ”

"Hey, teacher, you have to know that the score between the two sides is now: yes, the Pacers are ahead, and the Pacers still have the home court advantage." Brooks laughed and pointed out the big score of the two sides.

Lao Tang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, stinky boy, let's see the final result, I have confidence in the bus."

Brooks listened, "I knew you had this idea, or we would have made a bet." Oak Coffee Shop drinks coffee, whoever loses is treated. ”

Lao Tang laughed: "Deal, don't regret it." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the Rockets players looked at their coach with a burst of belly.
