The first quarter was over, and the Bulls only led by three points.

It seems that the Bulls' idea of suppressing the Rockets in the first quarter didn't come to fruition, and the Rockets survived.

The tactics of the bull's drill have been memorized by Lao Tang, and he has thought of a way to crack it.

On the sidelines, Lao Tang took this tactical board and said loudly: "Guys, Chicagoans are disrupting our inherent rhythm, but don't be afraid, the second quarter of the game begins, De Young, Ray, Sboga, Kevin and Hakim, you guys play, remember if the Chicagoans play fast, De Yang you play fast with Ray and Kevin, if they play slow, give the ball to Hakim to deal with, when you play fast, Hakim you have to be wronged, pay attention to control the rebound, Sboga, you stare Pippen to death, Now the core of the Bulls is Pippen, we can't let him go, Robert, I need you to rest, you're going to have a tougher task in the second half, the Bulls aren't that tough to deal with, we can fix them. ”

With a wave of the hand, the Rockets players began to play.

The second quarter of the game began, and the Bulls' tactics were suppressed after the start, and the Bulls were ready to continue to rely on the individual abilities of Pippen and Jordan to drive the rhythm of the court when they saw Hakim on the court, but the other players of the Rockets were the type who could run and jump.

After Saulius targeted Pippen, Pippen's role was significantly reduced, and the speed of the bull was completely reduced, and the bull had to play the usual tactics again.

However, even if the Bulls played a regular 'triangle offense', they did not have much effect in front of the Rockets led by Olajuwon, and the rotation of the Rockets and a group of young people and their excitement and speed made the Bulls feel the difficulty of attacking.

Defensively, the Bulls must start to pinch in the face of an interior like Olajuwon, but does this pinch play work? The answer is no.

Olajuwon does a very good job of passing, as long as someone is pinching, then Olajuwon will pass the ball, as long as he is given a chance to play singles, then Olajuwon will score the ball.

The first five minutes of the second quarter were Olajuwon's game.

Watching Olajuwon's performance, Phil? Jackson couldn't sit still, looked at the score that was quickly pulled away, and quickly called a timeout.

Phil? Jackson looked at the Bulls players and said, "Luce, you get off the court, Tony, you play, Dennis you go to defend Olajuwon, Scott I need you to defend Garnett, Tony you go and watch Bodi Roga, you used to be teammates, you should have a way." Strengthen defense, defense is the most critical in the playoffs, and for the finals, defense is the key key, and no team has won the championship without a strong defense. So, the next task is to defend, defend, defend, and ensure more success in terms of offense, Michael, I need you to strengthen your offense more now, because the defensive pressure on us by the Rockets is quite big now, and we can only rely on you more to control in terms of offense. Okay, let's play, do a good job, the rockets are nothing special. ”

After the timeout, the Rockets' offense was suppressed, and the Bulls accelerated the speed of their rotation when defending, greatly inhibiting the advantage of the Rockets' interior line, and in the last 2 minutes, the Rockets continued to hit the iron.

On the contrary, the Bulls relied on Jordan's individual play to score 6 points in a row, stabilizing the already dangerous situation.

When Olajuwon and Jordan were wrong, Olajuwon said in Jordan's ear: "Michael, I can't lose to you." ”

Jordan smiled indifferently and said, "Man, let's talk about it when you win the game." ”

The next time became the time for Jordan's solo performance, step-back jumpers, pull-up jumpers, and empty shots after blocking, Jordan showed his superb shooting skills, and Jordan's Ray? Aaron was even more exposed.

Still, looking at Ray? Allen looked calm, Joe really couldn't stand it, if this was put on other players, it would not be crazy.

Watching Thunder? Aaron felt like he was useless.

Jordan and Ray? After Allen was in the opposite position again, Jordan asked, "Boy, don't you really feel it, I've already scored a lot of points on your head." ”

Thunder? Allen smiled very quietly and said: "Michael, I wish you could score all the points, then the Rockets will win, you want to score, please continue, Clyde will do it for me in a while, I think he will be very happy that you can score like this." ”

Jordan looked at the kid in front of him, and his heart swelled with uneasiness, could we really not win the championship this year.

Jordan shook his head fiercely and thought to himself: No, we will definitely win, I swear to God.

Thinking of this, Jordan made a sharp acceleration, directly from Ray? Aaron's left side killed and stepped on the paint area and began to jump.

In the air, he collided with Garnett, who came to defend Gan, and still watched as he threw the ball into the basket while his body lost his center of gravity.

Looking at Jordan sitting on the ground with his body out of balance, the Rockets' players were full of admiration.

Garnett, who fouled twice, was substituted, and Malik? Rose was substituted.

As a result, the height and defense of the rocket's interior line dropped by a notch, and Pippen felt much more relaxed about Rose, who was about the same height as himself.

The Bulls also had the strength to start counterattacking, and seeing that the situation was not very good, Lao Tang immediately replaced Olajuwon with Big Ben to strengthen the defensive intensity of the interior.

Moreover, the assistance of the outside personnel has also been strengthened, and the rocket has gradually stabilized the situation.

Looking at the tenacious and shrewd evil rocket, Phil? Jackson is also in the middle of nowhere.

The Rockets are not like the Pacers, there are only a few people on the inside, and the thickness of the Rockets' inside line can be described as the first in the league.

Needless to say, Olajuwon's rapid growth is frightening, and the bus is also remarkable as a substitute, and Garnett doesn't need to say anything, Malik? Although Rose is not very tall, his solid basic skills are also praised.

In addition, at the moment of crisis, Horry can also go to the position of big forward, such a thickness of the inside line, the Bulls still want to continue to kill the opponent's inside line, it is almost impossible, I don't know which one is not done well, my own player is injured, then the gain outweighs the loss.

I can only think of a way in other directions, but now the rocket is like a hedgehog, and there is no place to talk about it.

At this point, there were less than 4 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, and the two sides were now tied.

The Rockets attacked with the ball, Bodi Roga looked at the form on the court, Rodman and Big Ben on the inside were wrestling, Rose was also entangled with Pippen, Kukoc was shaking back and forth in front of his eyes, Ray? Allen was targeted by Jordan, and Saullius and Harper were jockeying each other for positions.

Looking at the situation on the field, Bodi Roga was ready to go it alone.

Controlling the ball and looking at the former teammate in front of him, Bodiroga smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Then, suddenly, a disguise in front of the body dodged a bit of space, and then Bodi Roga carried Kukoc on his shoulders and burst inside.

Watching Bodiroga's breakaway, the Bulls' defenders began to shrink inward, blocking Bodiroga's breakaway route.

However, Bodi Roga didn't break inside at all, carrying Kukoc's body, and then one-footed, a golden rooster read-back shot.

"Huh"

The basketball hit the basket accurately, and the Rockets led by two points.

Looking at this wonderful goal, the fans at the home stadium of the Rockets were also excited.

For the past three years, this handsome former Yugoslavia, who is also now Sevian, has brought them too much joy and joy.

Looking at such a wonderful goal, the Rockets fans also chanted, and the Bulls players also had no good way to score such a difficult goal, and the European felt really good.

Maybe it was stimulated, maybe it was encouraged, and Kukoc, who was opposite Bodiroga, was not to be outdone when he returned to Bodiroga.

With the same technical moves, the same body in front of the body, Kukoc also burst into the paint area, and then prepared to make a pull-up jumper, but an unexpected scene happened.

Big Ben, who was defending under the basket, kept his eyes on Kukoc, because Bodi Roga knew his former teammate, and just whispered in Big Ben's ear: "Ben, give him a big hat in a moment, look at my gestures." ”

Big Ben nodded knowingly.

Sure enough, when Kukocz was about to retrieve it himself, Bodiroga secretly signaled that Big Ben would approach this side and begin to ambush him.

At the moment when Kukoc made a move, this opportunity was seized by the astute Big Ben, relying on his terrifying bounce and slender arms, only to hear a "pop", and the basketball that was still rising was slapped out.

It's very exciting.

After watching the ball be covered, Bodi Roga was already quickly activating and catching up with the basketball in three big steps.

Dribbled two steps, and with a quick run dunk with the ball in one hand, the attack ended.

Although the jump is not high, and the buckle is not very powerful, but the kind of relaxation and freehand is still pleasing to the eye.

Watching Bodi Roga score two goals in a row, the Rockets already have a four-point lead and less than 2 minutes left.

Phil standing on the sidelines? Jackson made a gesture, and seeing the coach's gesture, Jordan and Pippen nodded.

This time the Bulls' offense was scored, Pippen ran back, Jordan made a ground-hitting pass when he broke through, Pippen got the ball and made a layup, scoring 2 points for the Bulls.

Looking back, the Rockets attacked again, Bodiroga just crossed the halfway line, Kukoc pounced, and Pippen, who was supposed to retreat to the basket, suddenly grabbed an up, double bag to try to steal Bodiroga.

But Bodi Roga, who was often caught in the regular season, was used to it, and although it was a little sudden, it was not panicked.

Seeing such a situation, Saulius quickly stepped forward to answer.

Bodi Roga passed the ball to his teammates, and Saulus, who got the ball, did not stop the ball, and a long pass went directly to the basket to the already vacated space Marik? Ross.

Malik? After Rose got the ball, he didn't dunk, and he turned around and dodged Rodman, who came up to make up the defense, and a light board added another 2 points to the Rockets.

The gap widened again to 4 points.

At this time, there were only 48 seconds left, and looking at the form on the court, Jordan took the initiative to ask for the ball.

In Ray? Allen's chance has been covered in the face and he throws in the middle again.

Jordan glanced at Ray? Aaron, without saying a word, retreated to defend.

The rocket attack is also very stable, and after the fast attack can't be hit, the rocket young man's positional attack is also very distinctive.

Bodiroga was not caught this time, controlled the ball steadily and controlled the tempo of the court, settled sideways, looked at the time on the timer, and prepared to end the attack in the last few seconds.

However, just when the Bulls were a little slack, Bodi Roga suddenly started and carried Kukoc into the Bulls' interior.

In Rodman, who was returning to defense, when the defense was in place, he made a successful layup with a wrist.

There are only 6.3 seconds left for the Bulls in the first half.

The Bulls, who had 6.3 seconds of offensive time left, quickly sent out the baseline ball, and Pippen took the ball directly into the basket with a high degree of half-court, but all five Rockets players recovered to the inside, Pippen saw such a situation, and with a flip of his wrist, the basketball was directly passed to the outside.

Harper, who was already standing outside the three-point line, received the ball and threw it steadily.

The trajectory of the basketball in the air is very beautiful, but this beautiful arc makes all the fans in the Rockets look so annoying.

"Huh"

Accurate hitting of the basketball.

At the same time as the basketball hits, the red light on the timer also comes on.

At the end of the second quarter, the Bulls relied on a whistle ball to take a one-point lead at 54:53 and end the first half.
