The first quarter of the game was over, and the Zen master seized the time to lay out the tactics for the second quarter of the game to the Bulls players.

"The Rockets, the first quarter was very successful, he kept you at bay and let Michael play alone, so they cut off our overall offensive power. Michael is just being great and needs help, and you can't expect him to do the same way he did all the time. So, Scott, Tony, you have to share the firepower of the attack, and try to control the rhythm as much as possible, don't compete with the young guys about the speed, no one can survive the whole race in that rhythm, it's not much easier than running a marathon. The Zen master held the tactics board and explained the tactics of the second quarter.

The Rockets were not idle, and Lao Tang also explained the tactics of the second quarter, and the coaches of the two sides began a battle of wisdom.

"Guys, yes, we did a great job of playing tactics in the first quarter and kept the Chicagoans at bay. However, the second quarter of the game will be like this, they will definitely make changes, and Big Phil is not easy to deal with. In the second quarter of the game, the Bulls will definitely strengthen the overall offense, strengthen the connection between Jordan and other players, Pippen and other Bulls players will be tough, you have to start paying attention, once the Chicagoans start to really pay attention, then they are definitely the most difficult to deal with, you have to be mentally prepared, in the second quarter Hakim, they will not play, you boys have to pay more attention on the court, you know. ”

The Rockets players nodded when they heard this.

Time was fast, and at the urging of the referees, the players of the Rockets and Bulls returned to the court and began the second quarter of the game.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls' players really strengthened their overall offense as Lao Tang said, and Pippen began to invest in the offense when he was in control of the rhythm.

Pippen and Rodman cooperated, Rodman responded with a high position, Pippen passed the ball to Rodman, and then accelerated into the paint area of the rocket, Rodman, who held the ball in the high position, made a beautiful ground pass, accurately handed the ball to Pippen's hands, and Pippen after receiving the ball was caught by Big Ben and Horry, and threw the ball horizontally, and Rodman, who had already strode into the basket, received the ball was a violent dunk.

Rodman, who succeeded in dunking, was very excited, waved his hand fiercely, and cursed out a word that started with an American national curse "F".

Pippen smiled as well and stepped back to defend.

The ball was sent quickly, Bodi Roga looked at the situation on the court, his wrist suddenly flipped over, and a pass through the half court was handed over to Horry, who was already close to the three-point line, and Horry took the ball to the three-point line, and Pippen, who was returning to the defense, had already blocked Horry outside the three-point line, looking at Pippen, who was back to defense, Horry grinned and threw the ball high with both hands, Pippen suddenly felt a gust of wind passing by his side, and when he turned around, a rocket player with an explosive head had jumped high, Grabbed the basketball in his hand and smashed it into the basket.

The amazing explosiveness that even Pippen was deeply shocked.

Pippen asked Horry a little sluggishly, "What is that kid's vertical bounce?" ”

Horry looked at Pippen and said with a smile, "It's about 1 meter." ”

"Oh." Pippen nodded abruptly.

In the next game, both the Rockets and the Bulls tried to control the tempo on the court.

However, the Bulls and the Rockets have their own metronomes, both are playing their own rhythm, the Rockets want to get up, and the Bulls are always slowing down the rhythm, the contrast between the two sides is extremely fast and slow, so that the audience who came to watch the game is addicted, the Rocket's style of play is quite attractive to the audience, wonderful fast passing, explosive dunks, fast and sharp three-pointers, very eye-catching.

Although the offensive rhythm of the Bulls is a little slower, when they cooperate in the half, they can always play a wonderful match, and after mobilizing the young people of the Rockets, they can pull out space or shoot, or dunk.

For a time, the two sides fought an evenly matched.

It was at this time that the Rockets made another substitution, with Marrick Ross and Saurius coming on for Horry and Garnett.

This time, the Rockets are all substitutes for plastic surgery, facing the Bulls' four main forces plus the sixth.

This change made Phil Jackson, who was a little idle on the sidelines, sit up straight suddenly, secretly thinking in his heart, what does Lao Tang mean by this.

After the Rockets replaced new players, they still did not change their fast offensive routine.

They are all in high-speed movement, looking for opportunities to solve the battle.

Phil Jackson looked at the situation on the court, and he was also very impressed, a player like Bodi Roga is really rare, this is definitely an excellent rhythm controller, the Rockets did not feel chaotic at all in such a high-speed movement, which largely depends on the level of control of the organizer.

Halfway through the second quarter of the game, the Rockets' young men and the Bulls' three old guys played a deadlock.

Seeing that this was the case, the Zen master called a timeout.

Looking at the players who returned to the bench, the Zen master said: "We have to make changes now, otherwise we will continue to entangle with these people on the field, you will run out of energy in the second half, I must open a certain score, so that the main players have a chance to rest, I finally understand the intention of the rockets, now there is no main player on the field of the rockets, just to let their young people exhaust your physical strength, you are now going to suddenly expand the defensive range, Scott and Michael, you two, Give me a flanking attack on this European, I can't let him calmly organize an attack at the first time, I want to see what they do when the rocket's offensive engine is turned off. ”

At the end of the timeout, the most surprising scene happened, when Bodi Roga was in possession, Pippen and Jordan quickly stepped forward to wrap up.

Pippen and Jordan are both NBA 50 superstars, and these two guys are definitely superstar-level treatment.

Such a situation made all the Rocket fans present exclaim.

Lao Tang also exhaled and stood up from his seat.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Bodi Roga, who was still firmly in control of the ball.

And in the center of the storm, Bodi Roga's heart was calm, watching the two strongmen of the Bulls attack on him, Bodi Roga didn't take it seriously, but the defense of the two people was not so good to deal with, and he just felt that he couldn't move an inch now.

The bag of two people had to be broken, but he couldn't do it alone, and just as he was looking for his teammates, he heard someone shout: "Deyang, here." ”

A slightly accented English, a familiar voice, his European comrade-in-arms Lithuanian Saulus.

Bodiroga, who heard the voice, raised his hand and passed the ball.

Saulus, who received the ball, also did not hesitate to make a pass through the half, and accurately found Marrick Rose, who was almost down.

After Rose received the ball, Rodman had already pounced fiercely.

No, not to mention, now the Rockets' players are playing selflessly, and Marrick Ross swept the corner of his eye and saw that Ray Allen had been outflanked in place.

Rose is not greedy either, pressing down with both hands, a ground-hitting pass, Ray Allen, who has been quickly outflanked, after taking the ball, invaded the paint area in two steps, grabbed the ball with one hand, and dunked very elegantly.

The ball is smooth and pleasing to the eye, and the final dunk is also very elegant.

Seeing this goal, Lao Tang returned to his seat with a smile on his face, compared to the severity of his face just now, it was really a heaven and an underground.

Just after Saulius made the half-court pass, Phil Jackson closed his eyes in some pain.

Where did this guy come from, according to the information, isn't this European just a defensive player, this defensive player, can he pass the ball so accurately, and how many secret weapons the Rockets have not tried.

To the old soup, there was a smile on his face, and he secretly thought to himself: Sboga can not only defend, can shoot three points, this hand pass is also very sharp, in the game Dejan and Mark have occupied most of the ball, Sboga quickly realized that he is fighting for the limited ball, there is no hope at all, he knows what he should do and what he can do,

It's very rare to find a player like that.

The Rockets once again cracked the Bulls' defense, and the Bulls players who were a little surprised looked at the Rockets and remained calm.

They were still determined to execute Jackson's tactics, but in two consecutive rounds, Bodi Roga's bag failed, and Jackson, who had confirmed Saulius's passing ability, immediately made adjustments.

Pippen single-handedly dealt with Bodi Roga's other players, strengthened his defense against the other Rockets' players, and cut off Bodi Roga's connection with the other players.

This change of tactics had some effect, and the Rockets' offense began to be curbed by the Bulls.

However, it is a pity that the Rockets made another substitution, Big Ben was replaced, because of the bus injury, the (small) Mark Jackson who entered the 12-man squad was substituted.

This change in the rocket made Phil Jackson stunned again, what is this for.

However, Phil Jackson quickly understood what the rocket meant.

That's (Jr.) Mark Jackson can shoot, and Marrick Rose can shoot too.

The two inside lines, which can be said to be in the middle of the shot, took turns to pull them out and block the wall for Bodi Roga and others on the outside.

Break through and pass to the center or power forward for a mid-range shot.

All of a sudden, the rocket changed its tactics again, and this change made the unusually experienced bulls a little uncomfortable.

The Rockets' rich and changeable tactical system has overwhelmed the Bulls' players.

Seeing this situation, Jordan handed over a timeout himself.

Back on the bench on the sidelines, Jordan said to Phil Jackson: "Coach, the Rockets are changing so fast, I don't even know what to do. ”

Phil Jackson looked at the somewhat confused Bulls players and nodded, and said: "Now there are two ways, one is that you continue to fight with the Rockets on the court and finally be defeated in a mess, and the other is Michael, you are now resting, looking for the Rockets' flaws on the sidelines, and then start to fight back in the second half and beat them." ”

Jordan paused for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come down and observe." ”

Phil Jackson nodded, motioning for Kerr to come on the court for Jordan, and then motioned for the rest of the Bulls to come on.

After the Bulls came on the court, when they didn't have Jordan, they paid more attention to the conversion of positions in the 'triangle offense', so they didn't let the Rockets continue to open the score and continue to keep it at about 10 points.

The second quarter was over quickly, with the Rockets leading by 10 points at 57:47 going into halftime.

Compared to the Bulls' somewhat heavy face, the Rockets walked into the locker room with an excited face.

But the head coach of the Rockets, Lao Tang, knew that the Bulls' counterattack in the second half would be overwhelming.

It's a good show, hehe, it's just beginning.
