Chapter 171: Subversion in Progress (5)

The Rockets were unhurriedly attacking with the Bulls, and the Rockets' small-ball play proved that such tactics could only cause some problems for the Bulls for a short period of time.

However, the Rockets who started the half-court offense, coupled with the active running of young people, the Rockets slowly gained the upper hand, and many of the Rockets' interior players took turns to play, and the combination of Olajuwon and Big Ben is also very applicable, anyway, Big Ben and Rodman's offense is not very good, and they both need good passers to play their own offense.

The Rockets are not lacking in passers, Mark? Jackson, Bodi Roga, Saullius and even Daniels all had an excellent pass, and the Rockets played a pleasing combination in the third quarter of the game, combining inside and outside very well, multiple passes, tearing the Bulls' defensive space, constantly pulling out open space to shoot or directly attack the basket.

However, defensively, the Rockets still did a bad job, and the Rockets obviously didn't have much to do with offensive combinations like Jordan and Pippen.

Thunder who has already been blown up by Jordan? Allen continues to be under tremendous defensive pressure.

Tiger, who was on the sidelines, looked at the game worriedly and said: "Rudy, that's no problem, look at what Ray has been beaten by Michael, you can't replace him and let him rest." ”

Lao Tang shook his head and said, "Boss, haven't you noticed that when Ray defends Jordan now, it's getting better and better?" Now Michael can't get rid of him easily, and now Michael needs more and more physical exertion to get rid of Ray's defense? Now Ray is transforming, his defensive ability is transforming, this is a good opportunity, I don't think there will be many opportunities like this in the future, after the training of top scoring guards like Michael and Clyde, I think Ray's future will be brighter. Boss, look at Ray's eyes, what kind of light is that, that is the light that is transforming. ”

As he spoke, Lao Tang's hand pointed at Lei? Aaron's eyes.

Following the direction of Old Tang's finger, Tiger is really in Thunder? In Aaron's eyes, what he saw was not the decadence and despair after being hit, but the light of determination and hope.

Tiger looked at it and said, "Rudy, how can I say it, you are so bold, you are using Michael as a whetstone, you are really not afraid of scraping the knife of Ray." ”

When Lao Tang heard this, he smiled and said, "Boss, if this is really wasted, last year's finals will be wasted, and you will have to wait until this year." ”

Tiger nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "What you said is true. ”

Just as the two were chatting at the bottom, the form of the Rockets on the court suddenly changed, and the Bulls increased the encirclement and suppression of the Rockets' interior line, and the defense of the outside line also began to increase the intensity of rotation and positioning.

However, at this time, the Bulls replaced Jordan and Rodman, and Kukoc and Kerr put on the line.

Kukoc was pushed to the inside, Pippen and Longley were ramping up their defense on the inside, and Kerr and Harper were chasing the Rockets' outside offensive players like mad dogs.

Looking at the situation on the field, Lao Tang is Yile stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Kevin, go to the inside line, go to the inside line." ”

Garnett looked at it and nodded to know, intensifying the blow to the Bulls' interior, the Rockets' players began to frequently impact the Bulls' interior, Kukoc is not a qualified interior defender, and it is really embarrassing not to hit such a weakness.

Going deep into Garnett, the Bulls' interior was a mess, and Harper didn't start to defend the inside.

In the final five minutes of the third quarter, the Bulls' interior players were torn apart by the Rockets.

looked at Rodman on the field, his eyes were full of fierceness, but he was still beaten by Phil? Jackson pressed to the bench and watched the rockets rage on the field.

And Jordan is also accumulating this anger off the court, although he is angry, he can't help it. A Jordan who has no physical strength will not be very useful on the court, especially with a strong opponent like the Rockets now.

The Rockets quickly extended the score to more than 12 points in these five minutes, and at the end of the third quarter, the Rockets had expanded the score to 80:68 and the Rockets led the Bulls by 12 points.

In between matches, Phil with a grim face? "The last moment is coming, guys, it's going to be the last quarter, and I don't think you're going to lose this game, so the last quarter, you're going to start working hard," Jackson said. In the last quarter of the game, everyone strengthened the defense of the inside line of the rocket, and in the defense of the outside line, don't be afraid of fouls, be sure to interrupt the rhythm and feel of the opponent's shooting, be ruthless, don't be afraid, it's the finals now, who has ever seen the finals without confrontation.

There's no turning back, it's just going back to the home stadium, we've all won, then we're still going to have one less home, I don't want to repeat the importance of this game, but you have to put your heart and soul into the game, understand? ”

The Bulls player whispered, "Understood." ”

Immediately, the fourth quarter of the game between the Bulls and Rockets began.

The Rockets continued their tactics in the third quarter, constantly pressing the Bulls' interior and then combining the offense inside and out.

However, with this defense against the surname, the Rockets' interior advantage began to balance in the interior battle after the return of Rodman, an old ruffian, and Jordan, whose physical strength has been restored, once again wreaked havoc on Ray? Alan.

Pippen's also began to explode in the final quarter, and the Bulls' Big Three began to exert their strength at the same time in the final quarter.

When Rodman was defending Garnett, he took advantage of Garnett's inattention and clicked off the basketball in Garnett's hand, although Garnett's reaction was fast, but Rodman, who was already prepared, directly hugged the basketball in his arms.

At the moment of the steal, the Bulls had completed the transition from defense to offense.

Pippen and Jordan, like two ghosts slamming the door, hit the Rockets' half.

And the Rockets have only one player to defend back? Alan.

Thunder? Aaron is very experienced and runs like his own half in the middle of the two.

The cooperation between Rodman and Pippen and Jordan is already superb, a long pass across the halfcourt, and the basketball accurately finds Pippen.

Pippen, who was holding the ball, looked at Jordan on the other side, who was already about to fall, and threw the ball to the rebound with both hands.

Jordan, who understood it, took off in stride, ignoring the thunder in front of him? Allen, grabbing the basketball with one hand, makes a folding motion in the air.

With a "boom", the basketball was smashed into the basket.

And in front of his own thunder? Aru was knocked out by the heavy men.

How to describe this dunk, that's one word: wild.

Jordan blew the horn of the Bulls' counterattack with a wild dunk.

In the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Rockets were beaten 8-0 by the Bulls.

Seeing the Bulls' swift counterattack, Lao Tang quickly called a timeout, looked at the Rockets players who returned to the sidelines, and said loudly: "Defense, defense, don't you know how to defend, this is the finals, not the regular season, strengthen your confrontation, don't hesitate when it's time to foul, if any of you don't want to play, hurry up and talk to me, I'll let them come down." Now the expanded defensive circle, if Pippen gets the ball, I'll stare him at him in the middle of the half, don't give him too much passing space, Ray you are resting now, you have been entangled with Michael for too much time, take a break first, Clyde you play, continue to pester Michael. Pay attention to the inside to protect the rebounds, whether it is in the front court or in the back court, cheer me up, now is not the time to relax in the finals. ”

After laying out the tactics, the two sides continued to play.

After the Rockets made adjustments, they solved the defensive problem very well, and Drexler got mixed with Jordan again.

Pippen was under the guard of Horry, and there was a clear passing of the suffering.

In the battle for the inside, it was even more intense, Big Ben and Olajuwon suppressed Rodman well on the court and effectively controlled their backcourt rebounds.

On offense, the Rockets also opened up the situation, and Olajuwon continued to exert power on the inside.

The continuous strong play on the inside line made Longley bitter, and he could only ask other players to continue to help defend.

Rodman and Big Ben are two freaks mixed together, and the functions of both sides are basically the same, defending strong and attacking weak, and both sides are right as pairs.

However, the rocket stabilized the situation, and the two sides entered a stalemate again.

The Rockets are now only four points ahead, and there is really nothing to guarantee such a score.

An attack wave can overtake, and the rocket is under tremendous pressure.

Tiger was also nervously watching the game on the sidelines, looking at Tiger with a worried face, Lao Tang said with a smile: "Boss, don't be so anxious, now we are still ahead and not behind." ”

Tiger said a little nervously: "Rudy, we don't lead very much, Chicagoans can overtake us with a counterattack, can I not be in a hurry." ”

Lao Tang said with a smile: "It's nothing, such a game can really train the team, the team's city battle must be tempered, if a team wants to have a future, it must be beaten, even if it loses." ”

Tiger nodded and said, "I see what you mean, I hope the players can get through." ”

Lao Tang also nodded and said: "I believe they can get through, they are the best players, as long as they can get through, they will achieve a dynasty, and they are stepping on the shoulders of mythology, I am very much looking forward to the arrival of that moment." ”

Tiger nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to it." ”

Just when the two were chatting, the rocket suddenly began to exert force, and the time to decide the outcome of the game came.
