Chapter 168: Subversion in Progress (2)
Before the start of the second game between the Rockets and the Bulls, both sides can be said to have carried out the most rigorous arrangement, according to the performance of the players in the first game of the two sides, both sides have made a surname arrangement, and it can be said that both sides have done the greatest research on the opponent.
The Rockets' research on the Bulls is relatively better, after all, the people who play the Bulls are those people, and there will be a lot of changes in tactics, but after all, there are fewer people, so it is easier to study.
But the Rockets are different, almost everyone on the team can play, which makes the Bulls' coaching staff struggle to make a general analysis of the team's main team and the main bench players.
With players from both sides on the inlet, the Rockets' players spotted Tiger behind the bench.
Everyone hurriedly walked over to say hello, Mark? Jackson was the first to step forward and said, "Hey, boss, you didn't come to the last game, I'm scared in my heart, if you don't have you and we lose to the Bulls, you won't kill us afterwards." ”
Tiger hugged his shoulders and teased Mark? Jackson said: "Mark, if you really lose the last game, I don't care if anyone else is there, I have found a good place for you." ”
Mark? Jackson said heavily, "There, I know." ”
Tiger said sneeringly, "You know, Brazil, you know? ”
Mark? Jackson nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"What about the Amazon jungle."
"Yes."
"That's fine, I'll get you a parachute, and I'll kick you down in the air, and you'll go on a one-way trip to the Amazon jungle alone."
Looking at Mark, who has been completely stupid? Jackson, Rockets burst into laughter.
Rodman looked at the harmonious atmosphere of the Rockets on the Bulls' bench and thought to himself: In fact, it is good to go to the Rockets.
Looking at Rodman who was a little distracted, Phil? Jackson shook his head on the side, and secretly thought to himself: It seems that the bull is really going to die, where will I stand next.
After the Rockets' players frolicked with Tiger, they all began the final preparations.
With the referee's whistle, the second game between the Rockets and the Bulls officially began.
Garnett won the jump ball again, Mark? Jackson was firmly in control of the basketball, and the Rockets continued their slow offense.
However, today's rocket offense has a new trick, which used to be the pursuit of stability and the pursuit of stable attack power.
Now the Rockets' offense began to become a combination of fast and slow, and the Rockets' sudden acceleration at the moment of launching the attack caught the Bulls off guard.
Although the Rockets have played like this in previous games, it was only a few games.
The old men of the rocket began to burst out with powerful attack power.
Lao Tang, who was standing on the sidelines, smiled brightly, really brightly, and the whole season of hiding finally began to break out in the finals.
Olajuwon is no longer so evenly offensive, and the Rockets' offense starts to get faster the moment it transitions between offense and defense.
Let the Bulls players, who are already familiar with the speed of these old men, start to slow down by half a beat one by one.
The first five minutes of the first quarter became the performance time for the old man.
Olajuwon began to show off his dream dance moves.
Drexler's breakthrough has become as sharp as it was five years ago.
Mark? Jackson's big ass continues to be powerful.
The bull was blinded by a combination of punches from the old men, and it was indeed blinded.
5 minutes to the end of the game 13:4.
The Rockets took all the points and saw that the situation was not good, Phil? Jackson could only call a timeout.
from the new tweaks and arrangements.
Phil? Jackson said with the tactical board: "The Rockets are really too cunning, their change has been hidden for a whole season, this sudden change of rhythm shows their strong on-court control ability, now we have to cheer up, the speed change between offense and defense of the Rockets, double the care, Harper from now on, you have to put more defensive pressure on Mark, he is now the offensive playmaker and engine on the Rockets field, you have to disrupt his rhythm, so that the quick transition between offense and defense, The most afraid is that the rhythm will be disrupted, Mark is very important at this point, in the defense of the inside, Luce continue to be tough when you defend, don't be afraid of fouls, if you foul, you will die, don't give the opponent a '2+1' chance, Dennis is the same, the defense of the inside line can never be relaxed, okay, that's all, let's play. ”
The Bulls players silently appeared on the court to start the game.
The referee's whistle blew and the Bulls went on offense.
The Bulls attacked, and Jordan looked at his teammates who were a little demoralized today and decided to go it alone.
Jordan, who took the ball, started his first active attack of the day.
Looking at the Bulls players who are pulling away, Jordan is really a bit of a dead end now.
This feeling has never been felt in previous games.
As a strong Jordan, his paranoia does not allow him to admit defeat, but the strong pressure of the Rockets makes Jordan, who is a strong man, unable to do anything.
Jordan began to face Drexler and said with some bitterness: "Clyde, you guys are really strong, and you are so strong that you can't bear it. ”
Drexler shrugged indifferently and said, "We're strong on our own, and you don't have to say it, Michael." As you should know, our goal this year is to defeat you. ”
Jordan shook his head and said: "Admitting defeat is not my surname, even if it is me, I will persevere until the end." ”
Drexler smiled and didn't say anything, just tighter on Jordan's defense.
Jordan leaned his back against Drexler, arched inward little by little, and at the moment Garnett made up for it, he made a step-back jumper and threw the ball out steadily.
The movements are always so standard, and the postures are so beautiful.
"Huh"
hit, and the Bulls finally started scoring.
After watching Jordan hit three shots in a row, all the Bulls players began to reflect on themselves.
What are we doing, I'm a professional footballer, and the state we are in right now, is it what a professional player should do.
The rest of the Bulls players were slowly adjusting their attitude to the game, and Rodman threw himself into the crowd as he saved the ball.
Pippen desperately put Olajuwon behind him for a rebound, allowing Longley to control the rebound.
Harper's current opportunity is with Mark? Jackson fights hand-to-hand, although he still can't stand Mark? Jackson's big ass, but still resisted it desperately.
Under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls are regaining their confidence little by little.
The Rockets also gradually felt the difference between the Bulls, and the old soup on the sidelines also felt the difference.
Seeing such a situation, the rocket quickly called a timeout.
Lao Tang said with some hesitation: "Everyone, don't you feel it, the bull is changing little by little, from the laziness at the beginning to slowly start to get serious, this is led by Michael." I don't really admire Michael's ability to lead, he can use his own strength to drive the performance of the players, we have to suppress it, otherwise the tragedy may be us. On the offensive side, we increase the intensity of the attack, try to involve the energy of the other players of the Bulls, so that they do not have the energy to devote to the attack, and if they have their hands free to attack, we are passive. ”
Drexler thought for a moment and said, "Coach, how do we suppress Jordan." ”
Lao Tang said with a wry smile: "This is a difficult problem, and I haven't been able to solve it yet." Do you guys have any good ideas? ”
Hearing this, everyone only smiled bitterly.
Lao Tang sighed and said, "What we can do now is to consume Michael's physical strength as much as possible and minimize his threat." ”
After saying that, the game continued.
Looking at the bull slowly regaining his confidence, Phil? Jackson was also very happy, at least he saw hope, which is the most important thing.
The situation on the field slowly returned to equilibrium, and the game slowly entered a stalemate.
Tiger, who was on the sidelines, looked at the situation on the court and was also worried, he knew the Bulls team in front of him very well.
They are tough, tenacious, have a fighting spirit, and have a paranoid leader, such a team is the most difficult to deal with.
Looking at the appearance of their boss, the Rockets players know that they are worried about the Rockets.
At this moment, Bodi Roga said: "Boss, don't worry, what kind of opponent we haven't seen in the regular season, what kind of scene we haven't experienced, it's nothing." ”
Tiger frowned and said, "But, Deyang, it's the finals now." ”
Hearing this, Bodi Roga was happy at the time.
Then, I heard him say: "Boss, you forget, we also played in the finals, and we also played 7 games, but the opponent is no different from the current one." ”
Tiger was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly, shook his head and smiled: "I forgot, we were also one of the teams in the finals last year, although we were losers." ”
Bodi Roca smiled indifferently and said, "Boss, last year was a loser, but this year is not." ”
Tiger also smiled and said, "That's, if I lose, I can go Atlantic jumping." ”
The Rockets are players on the bench, and they are also a burst of laughter.
Big Ben said on the side: "Boss, don't jump, if you jump, we will pay your salary." After saying that, he squeezed his eyes at Tiger.
Tiger was full of black lines and said to Big Ben: "In your kid's heart, is the boss the one who pays the salary?" ”
Big Ben nodded very sincerely and said, "Yes, if the boss doesn't pay the salary, then he won't be the boss." ”
As soon as these words came out, the rocket crowd burst into laughter again.
The laughter on the Rockets' bench also alarmed the players on the court.
The players of the Rockets, looking at the relaxed state of their teammates, slowly let go of their nervousness.
And the Bulls' players looked at the Rockets players who were laughing off the court, and they inevitably felt a little nervous in their hearts.
Old Tang shook his head on the side, not knowing what he was muttering to himself.
However, the mood of the Rockets' players is relieved.
In the last three minutes of the first quarter, Jordan was substituted to rest, and the Rockets wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to widen the score gap.
But it didn't work, and the other players of the Bulls stubbornly defended the Rockets' flood of offense.
Firmly bites the score.
However, the Rockets did a very uplifting thing, looking at the timer that was about to reset to zero as the first quarter of the game was about to end. As soon as Jackson was still in his hand, the basketball drew a strange arc in the air and smashed directly into the basket.
Looking at this unbelievable goal, Mark? Jackson's gaping mouth was filled with laughter.
The other players of the Rockets were also cheered up and began to ravage Mark? Jackson.
Tiger also looked at Mark with an incredulous expression? Jackson, and then to Mark? Jackson stuck out his middle finger and said loudly, "Shit luck." ”
With the help of a shit-lucky goal, the Rockets led by six points in the first quarter.
26:20 Rockets take the lead for the time being.
