The Godfather of Basketball

"Defend! Defend!"

Billups' three-pointer completely drove the atmosphere of the scene.

Kobe advanced halfway, Tang Tian directly signaled the team to 3-2 zone defense, and let McGrady go to double-team.

Bryant's play has exceeded his tolerance, he would rather let Ariza go outside to throw a three-pointer.

Kobe passes the ball to Ariza, and Ariza catches the ball for an open three-pointer.

"boom!"

Ariza made 31.9% of his three-pointers this season. Although he improved to about 40% in the first two rounds of the playoffs, he is still unstable.

In fact, this was part of the reason why Tang Tian did this.

Ariza in his previous life should join the Rockets next season, and then become the "Tie Zha" in the mouth of the fans.

Yao Ming received the defensive rebound, the Rockets continued to push the frontcourt, and Bynum and Yao Ming received a foul in the scramble for the basket.

At this moment, a short whistle came from the sidelines, and Odom rushed to the technical stage.

Phil Jackson finally couldn't stand Yao Ming's feeling that he could get whatever he wanted on the offensive end.

Odom came on, replacing Bynum.

Gasol directly faced Yao Ming.

Although the strength is not as good as Bynum, Gasol is much stronger in terms of weight, wingspan and experience.

Yao Ming's back attack was blocked this time.

The Rockets chased the score for half a quarter, and at this time the situation fell into a stalemate.

The score difference of 5~7 points continued until the end of the third quarter.

In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, Artest and Yi Jianlian led Battier, Sun Yue and Jordan Jr.

On the Lakers side, Odom and Gasol lead the team, with Shannon Brown, Farmar and Walton.

This period is very critical for both sides. Artest also played very tough, rushing to grab offensive rebounds consecutively.

Driven by him, the Rockets' substitutes continued to attack the inside of the mixed team. Gasol had 4 fouls, and Phil Jackson could only go to Bynum.

After Bynum came up, Jordan played a role in the interior barrier, and the Rockets caught up with the point difference a little bit.

By the time there were about 6 minutes left in the game and both sides were replaced by substitutes one after another, the Rockets had already tied the point difference to 101.

The two sides are still deadlocked.

Kobe has already scored 50 points, and Yao Ming also scored 40 points. At this time, the two sides have really become a war between poisonous snakes and honey badgers, biting and entangled, and no one will let go.

The game went from 101 to 105 to 110.

When there was 1 minute before the end of the game, the score on the field was 113.

After a whole entanglement and wrestling, the two sides stood on the same starting line again.

The Lakers' offense, Bryant panting outside holding the ball.

Throughout the game, he showed the fierceness and aggressiveness of the black mamba, and also showed the endurance that the black mamba does not have.

But no matter how fierce the poisonous snake was, he became exhausted after a whole fight. He was already fighting by will.

But the Rockets players couldn't beat them no matter what.

The Lakers all spaced out the floor, and keeping Kobe from being double-teamed was all they could do.

Change direction, speed up, change direction, cross step, shake, pull up jump shot.

Kobe held his breath and made another coherent attack.

But Artest is like a tireless honey badger, always biting him.

"boom!"

The ball bounced out of the basket.

Yao Ming fought hard to grab the defensive rebound from the double team of Bynum and Gasol.

Billups advanced the ball to the frontcourt and handed the ball to the inside Yao Ming again.

The Lakers double-teamed directly, Yao Ming returned the ball to Billups, waited until the double-team was dispersed, and Billups gave the ball in again.

Just as the Lakers tried to give the ball to Kobe, the Rockets' strategy at this time was to try to give the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming received the ball and did not give Gasol any time to double-team. After receiving the ball, he turned to the baseline and leaned back to shoot.

"boom!"

The ball hit the edge of the rim and crawled in.

Yao Ming waved his arms excitedly. This was his 42nd point in the half game!

The cheers on the scene burst, this is simply a golden goal!

Phil Jackson didn't call a timeout, and Kobe dribbled the ball straight forward.

The Rockets' double team rushed forward at halftime, but Kobe did not choose to pass the ball.

He is still him, and he will only choose to believe in himself at the most critical moment.

With a super-sharp turn, Artest and Yi Jianlian, who were double-teamed, were left behind.

He accelerated to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer directly. Yi Jianlian flew out from the inside and almost blocked the ball.

But in the end, the ball flew over Yi Jianlian's fingertips and flew straight towards the basket.

"Shua!"

After the basketball crossed a high parabola, it fell directly into the net bag.

Big heart three points!

Although they are not the most accurate shots, but when it comes to critical moments, superstars are the ones who can make the most shots.

The Lakers lead by 1 point!

There are still 20 seconds left in the game!

The Rockets called a timeout.

Tang Tian took the tactical board and quickly set it up.

"This game was really soul-stirring." During the timeout, even Barkley couldn't help feeling emotional.

The Rockets chased from 15 points behind to the present, showing the tenacity that a defending champion should have, while the Lakers reached the last moment under the leadership of Kobe.

This game is destined to become a classic battle.

When the timeout expired, the Rockets made substitution adjustments, and Morrow replaced Artest.

"Kenny, who do you think the Rockets will take this shot?" Barkley saw this move and turned to look at Smith beside him.

"Dude, I really don't know. There are probably more than a dozen tactics on Tang's strategy board. Even if he let Yao Ming shoot a three-pointer at the end, I wouldn't be surprised." Smith said with a smile.

Buckley paused, then nodded with a big smile.

At this time, the Rockets were only 1 point behind, and there were N choices, and with Tang Tian's usual style, you thought he was going up to Morrow with a feint, and maybe it was Morrow who threw a three-pointer in the end. For three-pointers, he may just come to screen.

Almost all the fans at the scene stood up and looked straight at the field.

This is really life and death.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded to continue the game, and McGrady sent the ball to Billups.

Billups turned his back on the clock.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the ball hitting the floor was like hitting everyone's hearts.

The time entered the last ten seconds, and the players on the Rockets field began to pick and roll back and forth.

Yi Jianlian blocks for McGrady, McGrady blocks for Morrow, Morrow circles around and then comes back to block for Billups.

You are dazzled by the tactical moves, and you don't know who the tactics will be designed for in the end.

Going around, the ball flew out of Billups' hands and flew towards the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the oblique side.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the end of the pass.

The eyes of the fans at the scene widened.

It turned out to be him!
