Chapter 131
The high-intensity confrontation continued throughout the first half.At the end of the second quarter, McGrady used the cover to pull up and hit a three-pointer regardless of the defense.
Lakers 45-45 Rockets!
The two sides are back on the same starting line!
Gao Fei walked into the player tunnel, recalling the first half of the game in his mind, looking for what he didn't do well.
He has all the skills on the basketball court, as long as he finds a way to improve, he can make adjustments immediately.This is the reason for being able to quickly adapt to the league.
Away team locker room!
Jeff Van Gundy limited Dayao's playing time to about 30 minutes, and in the playoffs, it increased slightly.Tonight's game is of great significance, so the limit was raised, but it still did not exceed 36 minutes.
Chuck Hayes and Dikembe Mutombo are the Rockets' substitute insiders, and they can also play well against the weak front line of the Lakers.
"Tracey, your task in the third quarter is to organize and dispatch and try to maintain the balance of power. In the fourth quarter, you will see the truth with them." Jeff Van Gundy assigned tasks to McGrady.
Juwan Howard volunteered: "Lamar's defensive attention is on Yao, and I will actively look for opportunities to pass the ball to me."
Jeff Van Gundy knew that at this stage of the series, in addition to the core performance, occasional surprise soldiers were needed, so he replied: "Everyone must increase their movement and strive to disrupt the Lakers' defense."
Dayao rested as much as possible and did not participate in the discussion.
Intermission is about 10 minutes.When it comes to the playoffs, the breaks are slightly extended due to mid-time events and commercials.
The fans looked at the cheerleaders dancing in the arena, changing their mood, and at the same time resting their sore throats.
The score is extremely anxious, which indicates that the second half will also usher in a bloodbath.
Gao Fei returned to the court early and immediately attracted most of the attention.
He has long been used to being watched intently by everyone, unmoved, and quietly warmed up for shooting.
A few minutes later, the rest of the players also returned to the court.
Dick Bavita put the whistle in his mouth, held the game ball, confirmed that the players were ready, and passed it to Juwan Howard who was waiting on the baseline in the backcourt.
Alston received the serve from the backcourt, took it slowly across the half court, and then passed it to McGrady at the top of the arc.
Gao Fei's center of gravity is extremely low, which does not affect movement at all. Relying on the bullet speed, it can also form restrictions on shooting.No one on the perimeter can do that.
The best defensive lineup is divided into positions, but the best defensive player award is a competition for all positions.Since it can win the award, it naturally has its own unique features.
McGrady knew Gao Fei's strength, raised the ball above his head, avoided steals, and observed his teammates' running positions.
Zhuwan Howard ran towards the vicinity of Dayao, bypassed it cleverly, and got a fleeting space.
McGrady seized the opportunity and made a wonderful pass to help his teammates.
Juwan Howard scored with an empty basket!
45-47!
"The Rockets are really tough." Matt LeBron said, "With such a strong defense, the score can still be bitten."
The other few people don't know the game very well, silently cheering for the Lakers, hoping they can win.
Goofy advanced with the ball and gave it to Odom.
Kobe settled on the right side, and while McGrady was not paying attention, he ran laterally without the ball.
Goofy screened in the paint, blocked the chasing McGrady, and helped Kobe create offensive space.
Odom pass to!
Kobe catches and shoots the ball and seizes the hard-won opportunity!
47-47!
Kobe and Odom clapped hands, simply celebrated their cooperation, and immediately put themselves on the defensive end.
Gao Fei was in charge of facing McGrady and focused on defense.
"This guy is really annoying!" McGrady has never met a player who can limit him, and his patience value is lower than usual. He hurriedly passed the ball and thought to himself: "No, I must stay calm. Basketball is a team sport, not a game. One to one."
Juwan Howard tried the same strategy again, luring Odom away and creating low post opportunities for Yao.
Chris Mim defended his back, stretched his arms, and watched Dayao turn over and shoot a jumper!
There is no possibility of defense!
47-49!
Dayao kept a low profile, clenched his fists in celebration, and retreated to the backcourt as soon as possible.
Gao Fei glanced at the scoreboard, confirmed that the game was balanced, and passed a long pass to Kobe who came out of the bag.
McGrady is a defensive player, subject to physical fitness and body, after the offensive task is heavy, the defensive intensity is gradually reduced.His defensive skills are still there, single-handed defense against Kobe who holds the ball.
Kobe tested the defense with a fake move, dribbled the ball with his left hand, made a straight line assault, and changed the defense along the way.
Gao Fei didn't stop, and was ready to compete for offensive rebounds at any time.
Bryant fought a layup on the move, tried to foul, only to score the ball.
49-49!
With a calm expression, Bavita continued to run towards the other half.He has established a penalty scale, as long as he does not pass the line, he will basically not give a whistle.
McGrady gradually entered the game state, no longer thinking about personal outcomes, and devoted himself to maintaining the tactical system.
Dayao made a high screen to block Gao Fei who was moving laterally.
Chris Mim misplaced McGrady.
Pull out the jumper and reappear in the arena!
Gao Fei quickly ran to the penalty area, and the moment the basketball jumped out, he immediately held it in his hand.
Luke Walton just ran to the top of the arc, turned around and ran towards the unguarded frontcourt.
Goofy's pass shooter is on the way!
Luke Walton is not flying, he chooses to lean forward for a layup and hit the board!
51-49!
The Lakers overtook the score!
The fans at the scene could feel the surging desire of both sides to win, and the cheers went first, cheering for the players on the field.
McGrady used the cover to get rid of Goofy's defense.
The offense became easy in an instant. Facing Odom's defense, he was calm and unhurried, facing the frame!
Swish!
51-51!
Dayao saw the ball go in, stopped getting stuck, and hurried back to the backcourt.
"The Lakers have A Fei and Kobe, and we have Tracy McGrady. The outcome is not certain!" Dayao has confidence in the Rockets' perimeter.
With a calm expression, Gao Fei advanced to the frontcourt and also called for cover.
Chris Mim came up, blocked David Wesley, and helped Goofy create a mismatch.
Dayao moves slowly and cannot be lifted up, leaving a lot of space.
Take off in one step from the high-flying three-point line, elegant and unrestrained, and make a jump shot in the air!
Swish!
53-51!
"Yao is still a bit clumsy, and the effect of misplaced defensive backs is not good." Kenny Smith said.
Barkley said: "Gao just entered the league with unstable shots and relied more on breakthroughs. The big center can give him a certain degree of restrictions. Now he has perfect shots, and it is not so easy to defend."
"He has too many offensive methods, and he has a pass threat, which is really not easy to limit."
"The Rockets still have to play to their strengths," Barkley said. "They also have points that the Lakers can't limit. If they pay too much attention to the Lakers, they will easily fall into a passive situation."
Dayao catches the ball in the low post, turns over in the paint and leans back, making unreasonable jump shots!
The shot point is high and steady, Chris Mim can only look at the ocean and sigh!
53-53!
Draw again!
Jeff Van Gundy didn't expect the team to play so well. He stood on the sidelines and loudly encouraged the players.
His shouts and the cheering shouts of the bench players turned into extra motivation and injected them into the hearts of the Rockets players.
