Before the start of the game, Jordan looked at the bench of the Rockets, Olajuwon had some solemn eyes, releasing huge pressure, at this moment Jordan finally regarded this big man as his strongest opponent, the most powerful and last opponent in his life.

Jordan thought to himself: This is my last stage, I am going to beat my last and strongest opponent on this stage, come on, Hakim, this will be my last fight.

Thinking of this, his eyes swept directly to Olajuwon, probably feeling Jordan's fiery gaze, Olajuwon turned around and saw Jordan, the eyes of the two people were instantly intertwined, and both sides felt the strong fighting intent on each other.

And the eyes of both of them reveal only one thought, and that is that I want to defeat you.

The leaders of both sides were already engaged in the battle before the game even began.

The game started at the referee's whistle, and the Rockets' Garnett still pressed Langley and gave the ball to Mark? Jackson.

Mark? After Jackson took the ball, he didn't look at it, he raised his hand and it was a long pass, Drexler, who had secretly gone down, had already entered the Bulls' paint area, and Drexler, who received the ball, turned around and dodged Harper, who stepped forward to defend, and carried Jordan's forced layup on his body and successfully scored the first goal for the Rockets.

Drexler looked at the goal and said when he was wrong with Jordan: "Michael, this ball is to greet you first, don't think that your opponent is only one Hakim." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back to defending.

Jordan, who was a little surprised, looked at Drexler's back and thought to himself: Is Clyde going crazy today, hehe, interesting, very interesting.

The Bulls began to fight back, Pippen controlled the ball, looking at Horry in front of him, Pippen was also scratching his head, the Rockets now have two walls on the outside, one is Horry, who has height, skills, defensive experience, and a big heart. The other is Saulus, this kid's defense is even more fierce, his close ability is very strong, his physical fitness is very good, passing, three-point, organization, and strong play on the inside line have one hand, and he is a jack-of-all-trades player, who can wander back and forth in the No. 1, 2, and 3 positions. These two people caused great difficulties for Pippen in the first two finals, which gave Pippen a lot of headaches.

Looking at Horry, who is staring at him today, Pippen is also really no good way.

Looking at the Rockets' tough defense, Pippen could only control the ball by himself, directing the Bulls players to run back and forth.

At this time, Jordan suddenly changed direction, using Longley, who came out to respond on the inside, suddenly threw off Drexler, who was defending him, and flashed outside the three-point line with a big stride, and there was no one around to defend him.

Pippen is also the master who sees the ball, and when he receives the pass, Jordan is just outside the three-point line, a beautiful shot, and the basketball goes into the net with great precision.

Looking at the accurate shot, the Rockets didn't panic at all, Mark? Jackson ended up serving in the backcourt and started attacking.

Slowly advancing to the frontcourt, the Rockets were slow at the beginning, Mark? Jackson gave Garnett a look on the inside, Garnett nodded slightly, turned around, turned over and inserted directly into the inside.

After making a switch with Olajuwon, blocking Longley and Rodman, who was chasing him, Olajuwon, who had been vacated, took the basketball and turned around for a layup.

Pippen, who didn't see things well, quickly made up for it, but it was too late, Olajuwon's wrist flipped lightly, and the board went into the basket.

Olajuwon smiled and shook his head as he ran towards his own half.

Pippen shook his head with a wry smile, took the basketball, and continued to attack.

The first three minutes of the game between the two sides were so smooth that the scores of both sides rose alternately.

Both sides have shown their strong offensive ability, although the defensive ability of both sides is very strong, but with the tacit cooperation of both sides, such defense can only be useless.

In such a situation, the Bulls took the lead in starting to adjust, further strengthening the defense, and making a strong deployment to the interior line where the Rockets focused on it.

The Rockets' offense was sluggish, and with their excellent defense, the Bulls began to slowly gain the upper hand.

After Jordan hit two mid-range shots in a row, the Rockets were already trailing by five points, and they had to call a timeout.

On the sidelines, Lao Tang took the tactical board and said loudly: "Mark, Robert, Clyde don't be afraid, you must dare to shoot on the outside, only if you dare to shoot can you use the hit rate, how to hit without a shot, the Bulls have done a good job of defending our interior line in these few minutes, but this will inevitably involve their outside defensive strength, the outside line must be thrown to me, only the outside players can pull away the shot, and maintain a considerable shooting rate, our inside line can have room to play, once the outside line can't shoot." ,The space of the inner line is compressed.,We have something to do.,Don't be afraid.,It's the first quarter.,It's just that we can't get in.,We also have time to chase it back.,Now everyone is looking for the feel.,Do you know.。 ”

The Rockets nodded repeatedly.

After the timeout, the game continued, and according to Lao Tang's instructions, the Rockets increased their attack on the outside.

Mark? Jackson held the ball, looked at his defense and relaxed a lot, and took aim on the outside for a full 3 seconds, and the basketball shot.

"Huh", the sound is very crisp.

Mark's three-pointer made the Bulls realize their lack of outside defense.

The Bulls adjusted very quickly, and after returning a ball, the Bulls increased their defense on the outside and deliberately suppressed the Rockets' offense.

However, while the outside defense is strengthened, the Bulls are still staring at Olajuwon and Garnett on the inside, and the role of the two is greatly limited, so that the difficulty of the Rockets in scoring points has greatly increased.

And defensively, the Rockets can't limit the Bulls' offense, so the Rockets are in a dilemma, that is, they can't attack and can't defend.

Looking at the situation on the field, Lao Tang was a little anxious, and shouted loudly on the sidelines, trying to remind the players how to play on the field.

Seeing this situation, Tiger who was behind the bench calmed down, and watched Lao Tang return to his seat, Tiger said: "Rudy, don't worry about anything, believe in these boys, believe that they have the ability to solve this problem, calm down, now the players are watching you." ”

Under Tiger's comfort, Lao Tang's mood also calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "Boss, I'm really a little anxious now, watching the game of these stinky boys, I can't help but be in a hurry, I can't attack it now, I can't defend it, it's not a thing." ”

Tiger smiled and said, "Then don't worry, you can't solve the problem in a hurry." ”

Lao Tang shook his head a little bitterly, looked at the field, and after watching for less than thirty seconds, Lao Tang suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Clyde, strengthen the breakthrough, strengthen the breakthrough, give me the inside line to kill the opponent." ”

Drexler nodded on the court to show that he knew, and then the Rockets began to counterattack, Drexler slammed into the Bulls' interior like a tiger, and after two consecutive successful fouls, the Rockets' passive situation changed slightly.

At least the Rockets can score, which is a good trend.

With five minutes left in the first half, Olajuwon was replaced by a bus, which strengthened the Rockets' strength advantage on the inside, and even Rodman was reluctant to touch this guy who could fight O'Neal on the court.

On the outside, the Rockets replaced Bodi Roga, which will strengthen the height of the outside line, and after Lao Tang's orders, Horry continued to wander outside the three-point line, and Bodi Roga and Drexler strengthened the assault on the inside.

Strive to increase the strength of the opponent's interior line, the Rocket's approach is still very effective, and Bodiroga scored 4 points on the inside line in 2 minutes, because the Rocket's interior players have not dared to continue to foul, the Rockets are now looking for your foul, I entered the inside line, not to avoid playing, but to hit, people's hands touch your hands.

What's terrible is that the Rockets are not afraid of you, there are a lot of people on the bench who can play, but the Bulls don't dare, there are only a few people who can play on the inside, and they really beat it, isn't that unlucky?

As a last resort, the Bulls replaced Winnington and came on the court to carry a foul.

The Rockets' players also complied with their opponents' demands, and in the final minutes of the first quarter, Winnington was saddled with three fouls.

The Rockets relied on free throws to keep the Bulls open in the final minute of the first quarter.

At 24:19, the Bulls ended the first quarter with a five-point lead on their home court.

Returning to the Bulls off the court was killed by Phil? Jackson gave a good compliment.

And Lao Tang Hu looked at the players of the Rockets with a face, looked around, and then rebuked loudly: "Look at what you did in the first quarter of the game, you can't attack, you can't defend back, is it that I talked to you before the game started, you didn't understand, this is an away game, an away game, there are many, many factors that affect both sides, you are still so careless." From the next quarter of the game, strengthen the defense, we must strengthen the defense, it doesn't matter if we don't score, the key is that we can't let the opponent score, if you don't score, and the opponent is scoring, then you don't have to play, defense, defense, defense, understand? ”

Everyone in Rocket said in unison: "Understood." ”

Lao Tang nodded and said, "Understood, everyone is ready to play, Rodt, you come down to rest, Sboga, Clyde, you can't hold it yet, if you can't hold it, let Ray come for you." ”

Drexler shook his head and said, "No problem, I can hold on." ”

Lao Tang looked at it and said, "It's good to hold on, if you can't hold it, tell me quickly." ”

Drexler nodded, turned to the court, and ushered in the start of the second quarter.

The second quarter of the game began at the whistle.

The Bulls controlled the ball and started their first offense, but the Rockets' defense was still very strong, and after several revers, Harper made a shot in the open space.

But, alas, missed, Garnett quickly controlled the rebound and handed it to Bodi Roga.

After Bodi Roga took two steps, he pushed with both hands, it was a pass that ran through the whole court, in the front court Saullius received the ball and faced Pippen who defended himself, his footsteps did not move, a ground pass, directly passed to Drexler, who had followed up quickly in the middle, and received the basketball on his own forward line, Drexler, who grabbed the basketball with one hand, stepped on the free throw line and jumped one step, it was a one-armed small windmill, Jordan, who had been pressed behind him, could only watch Drexler and staged such a wonderful dunk.

At the same time, it also announced the resurrection of rockets.
