The third quarter of the first Finals between the Rockets and the Bulls ended, and the Rockets took Jordan off the court for more than 5 minutes to catch the Bulls off guard, and Garnett's strong outburst on the inside gave the Rockets a 10-point lead at the end of the third quarter.

During the interval between the games, Lao Tang said to his players: "Guys, do you see, at the end of the first half, they relied on a whistle ball to lead us by 1 point, and now they can only rely on the whistle ball to give us a 10-point lead, feng shui take turns, hehe." ”

The Rockets also chuckled.

However, I immediately heard Lao Tang continue: "In the last quarter, everyone must be careful, Jordan will definitely play the whole game." However, even if he rests for half a quarter, it is impossible to recover his physical strength to the best state, Clyde, you play, continue to entangle him, and don't keep your hands, this is the final battle, I know your mind, understand? ”

Drexler chuckled as the rest of the Rockets replied, "Understood."

In the fourth quarter, the game continued to start after a short break between the two sides, and the Bulls' Big Three continued to appear collectively, not to mention that the physical strength of the Bulls' Big Three was really good, especially Rodman and Pippen, who were completely monsters in the two guys, after three quarters of fierce competition, Pippen only rested for less than 5 minutes in the first three quarters of the game, and Rodman, as the pillar of the inner line, has been fighting for three consecutive quarters, and is facing Olajuwon, Garnett such a top inside, I have to admire such an energetic guy.

After the game started, Garnett continued to confront Rodman, and Garnett was heard saying to Rodman: "Dennis, you are such a monster, you have not been out of the game for the entire three quarters, did you take any medicine." ”

Rodman glanced at Garnett with contempt and said, "Young man, if you can't stand it, you will end up if you can't stand it." ”

Garnett looked at the old guy and said, "It's not that I can't stand it, it's that I'm afraid that you won't be able to stand it, and you will die suddenly after you go home, and I will send flowers and spend money, which is really not worth it." ”

Hearing this, Rodman shrugged his shoulders and said, "Boy, your trash talk is really good, but do you think that such words would be useful to an old guy like me who has been playing in the league for more than 10 years?" Shut up, boy. ”

After saying that, he didn't bother with Garnett, Garnett was also stunned, and then shook his head and stopped talking, because he knew that in a game like this, in the face of an old guy like Rodman, trash talk is basically useless.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Rockets uncharacteristically did not use the Bulls' interior as a breakthrough, and now the main point of attack has become Drexler.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Drexler, like he was 10 years younger, continued to attack the Bulls' defense.

And Jordan, who was in charge of defense, recovered his physical strength in the third quarter, and he was also rapidly losing under the pressure of Drexler, which made Phil on the sidelines? Jackson was helpless, because Drexler, who had already exploded, was not so easy to deal with.

This character, who was just as inexplicable as Michael at his peak, if he is allowed to play the rhythm, then this game will be dangerous.

Looking at Drexler on the field, constantly breaking through, Phil? As soon as Jackson made a gesture, the Bulls had to turn into a zone defense.

In this way, the Bulls' players began to guard their defensive area, constantly pinching the players with the ball.

This sudden change made the Rockets on the court a little uncomfortable, and after the Rockets missed two consecutive offenses, the Bulls quickly narrowed the score to six points.

Seeing that the form on the court was not good, Lao Tang quickly called a timeout, and Lao Tang quickly picked up the tactical board and said: "Everyone is optimistic, this is the defensive formation of the Bulls." ”

Before he finished speaking, he took out a marker pen and drew the Bulls' defensive formation and focus on the tactical board.

Then, he continued: "Now the Bulls use zone defense, and every player who attacks inwards will face multiple people, so I now ask everyone, fast passing, wide area passing, Mark you get off the court, De Yang you play, after strengthening the height of the backcourt, Hakim you and Kevin, you must stand on the inside, Clyde you continue to break through, have a chance to score yourself, if you don't have a chance, you pass the ball, Robert and De Yang you are pitchers now, as long as there is no one in front of you, Don't hesitate to shoot, you must dare to shoot, dare to shoot, do you understand, Clyde, Hakim and Kevin, the characters of the three of you just want to press the opponent's defensive formation on the inside, leave room for the outside, okay, that's it, let's play. ”

After saying that, he motioned for the Rockets players to play.

The game continued, as the Rockets expected, the sudden adjustment of the Rockets' tactics made the Bulls' attempt to reverse the situation come to naught, and the Rockets' two consecutive three-pointers and Drexler's inward breakthrough broke down the Bulls' defense at once, and the Bulls did not expand their defensive circle again, so that the Rockets' interior line was resurrected again.

Garnett received the pass, and Rodman began to hit the inside, Harper came up and smashed, and the basketball was passed outside, and it was passed in as soon as it was separated.

Sure enough, after many rounds and a few rounds, Harper did not come forward to help the defense, and at this time, Garnett suddenly turned around and broke through, and directly faced the basket.

However, Rodman's defense is very in place, a step, a raise of his hand to block Garnett's shooting space, no one expected, this ball Garnett has no own offense, a low wrist, one-handed send, is a beautiful assist, Olajuwon, who caught the ball, took advantage of Longley's focus on Garnett, a turn over to play the board, lightly scored two points again.

Looking at the resurrection of the Rockets' interior line, the pressure on the Bulls on the defensive end is even greater.

And the pressure on the defensive end of the Rockets is also huge, and a single Jordan has brought huge pressure to the Rockets as a whole.

The Bulls' offense is still handed over, Jordan is to play, the body is leaning on Drexler, Jordan is silently looking for the Rockets' defensive loopholes.

At this time, Harper suddenly ran from the weak side, and Bodiroga, who was opposite him, also followed, Pippen and Rodman also moved, but Longley simply took a step across and did not move.

Jordan, who paid attention to the situation on the court, saw that the Rockets' defensive formation began to move, threw it with one hand, and after Longley raised his hands to catch the basketball, he turned around and hit the board to get back 2 points.

There are still 5 minutes left in the clock, and the score difference between the two sides is still 10 points, which makes the Bulls players desperate.

However, what happened below also proves that basketball is a sport full of accidents.

The Bulls attacked, or handed over to Jordan as the first point of attack, but this time it was obviously the old soup on the sidelines who gave a signal, that is, the pinch, Bodiroga quickly stepped forward to attack, and Jordan's reaction was also fast, he passed the ball on the spot, Harper received the ball on the spot, and wanted to shoot, but the rocket's rotation was very fast, and at the same time that Harper received the ball, Horry had already pounced, and the Bull had to pass the ball again, and in Pippen's hands, Pippen, who got the ball, broke through inward, and just took two steps, It was passed to Rodman on the inside again, looking at Garnett, who was not on him, Rodman made a very standard center turn, and then hit the board into the basket, and Garnett, who was one step slower, could only contribute one foul.

Rodman is very rare to get a "2+1".

Garnett looked at his hand with some uncertainty, and then raised his hand helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.

Rodman hit the ball and swung it in front of Garnett to go back to defense.

Garnett, who was a little stimulated, turned around and wanted to return one, but the strength was a little greater, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

The rebound was picked up by Pippen, and the two sides switched offense and defense again, and the Bulls continued to attack.

This time, the basketball was in Rodman's hands, but this time the opponent was Olajuwon.

But Rodman used the same way to hit the board into the basket again, and still got "2+1"

All of a sudden, the Rockets fans in the audience were stupid, and the Rockets players were also a little blindsided, and even Lao Tang didn't know what was going on.

And the Bulls, Phil? Jackson looked at this situation and shook his head in disbelief.

Jordan, Pippen, and the Bulls players burst into laughter, and no one expected that it would be this guy who broke out at this time.

Pippen stepped forward to Rodman and asked, "Hey, man, how did you do that." ”

Rodman thought about it seriously and said, "If they don't foul me, I don't think I can score these two goals." ”

Hearing this, Olajuwon and Garnett on the side looked helpless.

What's going on?

The Bulls relied on two of Rodman's inside shots to narrow the score to four points.

Seeing that there were less than 3 minutes to go, the Rockets continued to strengthen their defense.

The Bulls, who still want to do the same, continue to deal with the ball to Rodman, and the Rockets, who know the lesson, when Rodman gets the ball, this is a help defense, and Rodman will see that I still pass the ball.

I can't help but say that God is a master of playing balance, Rodman's pass, the pass was lost, and it was quickly cut off by Horry, and the next fast attack.

Garnett, who followed the fast break, vented his frustration on the Bulls' basket.

The score was stretched to 6 points again.

Looking at the last two minutes of the game, the Bulls' players once again rekindled hope in their hearts, and the difference of 6 points in 2 minutes is really not a problem.

That's when Phil? Jackson called a timeout and looked at the Bulls players back on the sidelines, Phil? Jackson picked up his tactical board and said loudly: "Good job, guys, especially Daniel, I thought it was David for those two balls just now?" Robinson is playing, and he deserves praise. ”

The bulls laughed.

Phil? Jackson waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time to praise, there are 2 minutes left in the game, a gap of 6 points, we still have hope, now everyone does two things, the first is the success rate of the offense, whether it is a few points, at least to score, the second is the inhibition of the rocket line, there are two minutes left in the time, now the referee will not blow the whistle easily, increase the defensive strength, don't be afraid, but if you foul, you must commit a crime, don't give the opponent a chance to play '2+1', seize the opportunity, we will win." ”

With a wave of his hand, the Bulls players began to prepare for the final 2 minutes of the game.

2 minutes of time 6 points to see who has the last laugh.
