BOOM！

Huge dunks filled the entire West Jersey Arena.

Rumble!

The whole stadium immediately burst into jubilation.

Less than a minute into the fourth quarter, the Suns successfully overtook the score with O'Neal's dunk.

Uncle Mu still couldn't resist Shaq's attack.

The 36-year-old Shaq, like the twenty-six-year-old him, is still fierce and demeanor.

The Rockets fielded a twin-tower lineup of Raylin and Uncle Mu in the fourth quarter to increase the team's interior defensive intensity.

Although Uncle Mu can't stop O'Neal, he can at least play a role in restraining him, so that Lei Lin can deal with Xiao Si easily. Compared to Scola's defensive hole, Raylin's defensive enthusiasm and movement speed can better cause problems for Xiao Si's jump shot.

The Rockets missed the offense, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, the Suns broke fast, and Barbosa hit a direct jumper.

At one and a half minutes, the Suns had a four-point advantage in the opening one-and-a-half.

Compared with the first half of the game, the second half of the game was full of suspense, and the tense atmosphere has been spreading in the West Jersey Stadium.

After Barbossa hit the shot, Suns fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Clang!

The moment Hyde made a move, Leylin directly stuck Xiao Sze behind him.

When the basketball bounced off the basket, Leylin grabbed his arms and easily picked up the rebound. Then hit a board shot to help the Rockets score two points.

Swish!

The Suns' offense, once again got the ball into O'Neal's hands.

After beating Uncle Mu hard, O'Neal turned around and hit a two-point hook to help the Suns stabilize the situation.

Watch the Suns frequently stuff the ball into O'Neal's hands.

made Lei Lin think of a sentence, those who have the inside line win the world.

It can't be denied that basketball will always be a five-person sport.

Therefore, having an inside line does not mean that you can win a championship with a strong inside player. But if a team loses control of the interior, it will never win the championship.

First of all, what is within?

Inside, not just refers to a certain inside player, but refers to the entire area under the basket, which is a relatively abstract concept.

Anyone who plays basketball knows that scoring under the basket is always easier than shooting from 10 meters away. Therefore, in the game, you can often see many players desperately rushing to the basket.

If you can easily hit the basket, then you can score easily.

What does this mean?

It means that you have got the inside line, which means that you have absolute control over the inside line, that is, the other party has lost control of the inside line.

Therefore, interior defense is very important for any team.

Because only when your interior line becomes an iron bucket, and only when you absolutely control your interior line, can you prevent others from scoring on your inside, can you easily control the rebound, and can you get more opportunities to attack the basket twice.

So every team attaches great importance to the construction of the inside line.

That's why good interior players are so popular in the league.

Because the interior players will protect the team's interior in the first place, they are also the vanguard of attacking others' interior lines, and they can use their containment power in the attack to create scoring opportunities for their teammates.

Therefore, a good inner line should be the rock of the town, and it is also the axe of the mountain!

And O'Neal has such a ability, not only to be able to turn over the river on the inside, but also to contain the opponent, give teammates the opportunity to impact the inside, and shoot on the outside, so that the team can achieve real internal and external training.

At this point, the Rockets seem to have such a tradition of controlling the interior.

From the period of two consecutive championships to the current Yao Mai era.

The Rockets all attach importance to the control of the team's interior line, with Olajuwon in the front, Yao Ming and Uncle Mu in the back.

Although the current Lei Lin is not as high as Yao Ming. But at least it has given the Rockets a piece of support to the inside line.

When the Rockets attacked, they handed the ball directly to Leylin.

Beat Xiao Si strongly.

It seems that in Xiao Si's body, Lei Lin has found the joy of life.

Every time he attacked, he was happy to arch Xiao Si with his ass there, and then turn over, either hitting the board, dunking, or putting the basket.

And so on and so forth.

Although the Suns have O'Neal in charge of the interior, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and when defending, one Uncle Mu is enough for O'Neal to deal with.

Swish!

The sound of the basketball rubbing against the net sounded wonderful to Leylin.

Of course, this is limited to your own shots.

For Xiao Si's shooting, Leylin will only curse "DAMN"!

As the game progressed, the playing style of both sides gradually evolved into "Inside-out"!

Use the inside line to contain and then shoot on the outside.

However, in this regard, the Rockets are more skilled than the Suns.

Maddy, Battier, Alston or Hyde, Bobby Jackson frequently shot from the outside, and when there was 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game, Battier's long-range jumper directly helped the Rockets overtake the score 115-112, and the Rockets led by three points.

Beep!

D'Antoni directly called a timeout, and what was supposed to be a win in hand has now slipped away, which is impossible for the Suns, who are bent on pursuing a championship, to tolerate.

There are almost two minutes left, and that's enough!

D'Antoni watched as his sweaty disciples walked to the bench, took the tactical board and called them around.

When Ryling returned to the bench, Adelman quickly drew there with a tactical board, spitting as he painted, and this game seemed to give him a long-lost sense of accomplishment.

"DiCambe, you have to guard against Shaq, even if it's a foul, you can't let him score easily. Ray, your task is to follow Amare, I don't care what method you use, just can't make him shoot easily, but also pay attention to the control of the rebound, if you can't make sure to catch the rebound, then just hit the outside! Tracy, Raff, Sean, watch out for your guys, don't get them to shoot threes! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Honk......

Pause back.

The Suns attacked, hanging directly to the inside.

The two old guys have been fighting for almost a game, and their physical strength is almost exhausted, and now they are fighting for perseverance.

O'Neal made a few takes, but couldn't get the right shot, and passed the ball to Nash again.

Nash controlled the ball, watched O'Neal unable to force the play, and looked directly at Xiaosi.

The two have worked together for many years, and with one look, Xiao Si knows what Nash is thinking.

With an arrow step, Xiao Si shook off Lei Lin and ran directly to the high position.

"Pick-and-roll!"

After being stunned, Leylin quickly followed Xiao Si, but just ran to the free throw of one meter, he was blocked by Nash.

Swish!

I could only watch Xiao Si hit a jumper.

115－114。

It's only a one-point difference.

There was still 1 minute and 28 seconds left.

“DAMN！”

After scolding, Leylin turned and ran back to the half.

As soon as Alston dribbled past half-court, Nash came over to interfere. Steals and defense have never been Nash's forte, so he can only interfere with Alston there as much as he can.

When the offensive time was nearly ten seconds away, Maddie suddenly threw off Hill next to him and went straight to the basket.

Hill didn't hesitate to follow, although Maddie's hand was not particularly good in this game, but he couldn't be unguarded.

After seeing Maddie rush to the basket, Leylin lifted up and directly blocked Hill's route, and Maddie, who came to the baseline, received a pass from Alston and opened his hand to shoot.

Rumble!

But Maddie's shot was sprayed by Hill. Although Leylin delayed Hill and created a time difference that allowed Maddie to shoot, Hill, who was quick to shoot, still interfered when Maddie was shooting.

The basketball was rubbed by Hill's hand and fell straight down.

The West Jersey Arena was filled with cheers.

But in the next second, there was a boo.

After Maddie grabbed the basketball, he took a sideways step and made a jump shot directly.

Clang!

"Rebound!"

Almost all of them are focused on the basketball that is bouncing.

The basketball smashed outside the side of the basket, bounced straight out at a forty-five degree angle, and flew towards Nash.

Syllable!

After grabbing the basketball, Nash rushed to the Rockets half court like a gust of wind.

At the same time, the other players also rushed towards the half court quickly.

Clang!

When Leylin and Xiao Si just got to the basket, the basketball popped up in the frame.

Xiao Si jumped quickly, grabbed the rebound, and directly made a half-volley.

"Damn!"

Leylin, who had no time to defend, could only jam Xiao Si stubbornly, hoping that the goal would not be scored.

Clang!

The basketball smashed on the basket seemed to be nailed to it, and for a while, all the people in the Meixi Arena held their breath, and it seemed that a little air movement would change the outcome of this game!
