Chapter 183: Chicago's Tears (4)
As the game resumed, the Rockets changed their style of play, and Olajuwon and Drexler went on their own after they didn't get the ball.
Now the rocket has once again been transformed into an efficient whole.
In Mark? After Jackson and Horry hit two three-pointers by pulling, the Rockets narrowed the score to 2 points again, and the situation of the game in the first quarter went on smoothly.
Now that both the rocket and the bull have transformed into giants from Greek mythology, the two sides begin to wrestle.
The Bulls relied on their 'triangle offense' and fluid coordination to make the Rockets' defense seem like a void.
The rocket relies on a strong inner line to constantly tear the bull's defensive circle, and as long as there is any hole in the bull's defensive circle, it will be caught by the rocket.
Both sides were playing their team's best offense, and in the first quarter of Game 4, the Rockets and Bulls put on a perfect meal for the fans in attendance, and the name of the meal was Team.
With 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Jordan was replaced with his back, and looking at Jordan's departure, the Rockets quickly began to make substitutions. With Jackson, Drexler and Olajuwon off the court, the Rockets' fast-break trio is on the line.
However, when the rocket wanted to speed up, it was suppressed by the bull and suffered so many losses, if the bulls didn't remember their surnames for a long time, then they wouldn't be called bulls, they could be called stupid cows.
After the failure of the Rockets' small-ball tactics, under the command of Bodi Roga, the Rockets continued to carry out their own half-court offense, but this time it was not Olajuwon who sang the leading role inside, this time it became Garnett.
Facing Rodman, Garnett was not afraid at all, and took advantage of his height and arm length to start a continuous single against Rodman.
Rodman is very at a loss, looking at Garnett, who is 10 years younger than him, Rodman now really feels like his years have passed.
In fact, Garnett will also be very uncomfortable, Garnett, who secretly scolded in his heart, scolded: Why doesn't this old man go home to pick up the child, he is so old, what are you still messing with in the alliance, and how difficult it is to deal with, now when he lifts his clothes, Lao Tzu's body is like he has just finished s|m, this old pervert.
After hitting two balls in a row, the Rockets took the lead in the final 30 seconds of the first quarter.
At 22:20, the Rockets overtook the score, and the Bulls still had the right to attack.
Pippen controlled the ball and started the last offensive of the first quarter of the Bulls, Pippen controlled the ball steadily, directing the Bulls players to run tactics while searching for holes in the Rockets' defense.
At this time, Kukoc, who came on as a substitute for Jordan, began to slip to the bottom line, and Bodiro, who was in charge of defense, followed closely.
However, Kukoc was smart enough not to ask for the ball under the basket and strode to the opposite corner, while Bodiroga was blocked by a sideways by Longley.
Kukoc, who was already in the open position, immediately picked up Pippen's pass and hit a very comfortable open three-point shot.
Before the end of the first quarter, the score was 23:22.
At the last moment, the rocket organized an attack, but unfortunately did not score.
In the first quarter, the Rockets trailed by one point.
Looking at the situation on the court, Lao Tang was still very satisfied, in the first quarter of the game, it was very good for the Rocket to control the score to such an extent.
Picking up the tactics board, Lao Tang began to explain the tactics, and listened to Lao Tang say: "Everyone played well in the first quarter, but everyone must remember that any small mistake may lead to the collapse of the team." So it's very dangerous to be in a situation like this now, you have to concentrate, and once everyone's lack of concentration leads to more mistakes, against an experienced team like the Bulls, they will directly trample you under your feet. ”
The Rockets were sweating profusely and nodding.
After arranging the tactics, Lao Tang waved his hand to signal everyone to play, and when he sat down, Tiger stuck his head out from behind Lao Tang again and said, "Rudy, the Bulls are in good shape today." ”
Lao Tang nodded and said: "Yes, they have rested for two days, and they are still in their home field, which is very effective to restore their physical strength and energy, and we are a little bit at a loss, although the conditions of our hotel are very good, but after all, it is not our own home, but I believe that these stinky boys are used to this kind of life." ”
Tiger sighed and said: "Everyone has seen professional players make a lot of money, but who can know the life behind their games, it's okay at their home stadium, after all, the home is there, if it's away from home, it's uncomfortable, especially the away game, they all say that these kids have a lot of scandals, who you let run outside every day, who can stand it, are all energetic young men." ”
When Lao Tang heard this, he said with a smile: "Boss, what's wrong with you today, how did you start such a feeling, don't you know that these boys can't sympathize, if they really loosen the shackles, then with an annual salary of millions and tens of millions a year, these boys would have fallen a long time ago." ”
Tiger also smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, our team is quite good, there is not so much lace news, you have worked hard here, Rudy." ”
Lao Tang sneered and said: "Forget it, boss, it's the players you choose are good, basically they are all players with no bad problems, the two Europeans are very clean, not to mention the bus, except for liking to drink some wine, there is nothing wrong with it, Kevin was a high school student when he came, very well adjusted, Lei is a humble gentleman and a good man, Daben also came out of the grinding, although the temper is not good, but this is not a problem, Daniels is a little arrogant, but in the face of so many good players in the team, Can he be arrogant and still say, Rose is also a good child, little Mark, Austin and Vaughn although they don't play a lot, but they are all obedient children, not to mention the rest of the old guys, Hakim, Clyde, Mark and Robert are all good men of the Gu family, I said boss, you are there to exchange so many good players, your vision is really blind if you don't want to abduct people. ”
Tiger listened to the previous words, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, his whole body was comfortable, but in the last sentence, several black lines rose directly on Tiger's head for a few days.
After a long time, I have the potential to be a human trafficker. Ah, no, what kind of human trafficker, it should be a high-level headhunter.
After finding a step for himself, Tiger decided not to take care of the old soup and focused on the field again.
The second quarter of the game began during the conversation between Tiger and Lao Tang, and at the beginning of the game, the Rockets wanted to take advantage of Jordan's absence to see if they could quickly open the score.
However, what no one expected was that it was the Bulls who took the lead in counterattacking.
With a layup by Pippen, the Bulls players began the second quarter as if they were possessed by a god.
Pippen made two layups, a three-pointer from Kukoc, and a mid-range shot from Harper, and the Rockets quickly trailed by nine points.
Looking at the sudden changes on the court, Lao Tang was also a little caught off guard, but he didn't expect the Bulls to be able to play such an efficient offense when Jordan was not on the court, which made Lao Tang on the sidelines a little unstable.
Lao Tang stood up, walked to the sidelines, and shouted loudly: "Pay attention to your defense, what are you thinking, defend and defend." ”
Bodi Roga, who was on the field, made a gesture on the field to make Lao Tang steady, and then continued to attack with the ball.
Bodi Roga controlled the ball and watched the Bulls' tight defense, gesturing while checking the changes in the Bulls' defensive formation.
Thunder? Allen's sudden acceleration got rid of Kukoc, who was entangled with him, and took advantage of Big Ben's blocking to gain a space to shoot.
Bodi Roga's pass, accurately found the vacated position of Ray? Allen, the result of the ball of the thunder? Aaron didn't even think about it, he raised his hand and threw it.
"Huh"
Very accurate drill into the basket.
hit this ball, and Lao Tang's hanging heart also let go.
After all, the difference is only 6 points, and the game has only just started 3 minutes.
Even if Jordan hasn't played yet, this score is not enough for the Rockets to change anything.
Just after the Rockets hit this three-pointer, the Bulls replaced Jordan, after all, a 35-year-old guy needs a break.
Jordan, who was on the court again, gave the Rockets a stick on the spot, still a standard backward shot, and scored two points for the Bulls again.
Thunder? Aaron looked at the 35-year-old man in front of him, and was really helpless, because this guy's shooting was too accurate.
With such an accurate head, it is easy to make people feel powerless.
There's no way to continue to top, but this has inspired Ray? Aaron's faith.
Thunder? Allen once again took advantage of Big Ben's cover, pulled out the shooting space, and hit a three-point shot again.
A series of two-pointers and three-pointers allowed the Bulls to improve their game against Ray? Allen's defensive intensity, the Bulls' players know that it's not so easy to deal with for a guy like this to go crazy.
Jordan stepped up against Ray? Allen's defense, extremely oppressive defense, made Ray? Allen's offense was greatly restrained.
After all, Jordan's defense is also very good.
But are rockets that easy to suppress? The answer is clearly not.
If the Rockets were that easy to deal with, then they wouldn't be in such a position to compete with the Bulls for this year's championship.
In Ray? After Aaron was suppressed, it was Bodi Roga who stepped forward.
Watching the Bulls squeeze the space of his teammates little by little, Bodi Roga felt that he should do something about it.
The future king of Europe slowly took control of the basketball, looking for shortcomings in the Bulls' defense with his eyes wide open.
Harper didn't dare to slack off, and concentrated on the defense.
Still, he underestimated the future king of Europe.
saw Bodi Roga's sudden dry three-point shot, the arc of the ball was flat and fast, and with a "bang", it smashed directly into the basket.
Harper didn't have any preparation, and could only watch the ball smash directly into the basket.
In an instant, the score gap between the two sides became 2 points.
For such a goal, the Rockets players were all chanting on the sidelines, and even Tiger and Lao Tang jumped up happily and hugged each other.
Tiger shouted excitedly: "Deyang, you are amazing, you are really a master, I must ask my wife to introduce you to a big beauty." ”
Looking at Tiger, who was already a little carried away, Lao Tang coughed lightly and said, "Boss, boss, don't be like this, you are a person with status." ”
Tiger, who was on the side, froze for a moment, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It seems to be foreign again, hehe." ”
Lao Tang laughed on the side, but didn't say anything.
I secretly thought to myself, how could I be such a boss, it's really embarrassing.
Thinking about it, not only did he shake his head, but there was really no way.
Relying on a dry three-pointer from Bodi Roga, the Rockets managed to chase the score to 2 points.
There were five minutes left in the second quarter.
