With 6:50 left in the third quarter, Ron Artest's breakaway caused a foul on Sean Marion, not a shooting foul, just an ordinary foul.

And the fouls haven't accumulated yet, so the Rockets need to re-serve from the sidelines.

The Rockets changed three players at once, the lineup on the court suddenly became one big and four small, and Hubi Brown suddenly became very uneasy.

"They're on one big and four small, and they're going to play fast again, what should I do?" Hubby Brown turned his head to look at his coaching staff, in addition to Lionel Hollins and Dave Jogle left by Joe, there were also two veteran coaches brought by Hubby Brown himself.

Dave Jogle looked helpless: "And, Hubi, there is another problem, after a few more minutes, Tracy will have to come down and rest." ”

Hubbie Brown glanced at the score, 51:56, still a 5-point difference.

But in the next second, the score jumped and became 51:58, and the difference suddenly came to 7 points, and on the court, Steve Francis, who had just come on the court, broke through to the layup and scored 2 points.

The big four small of the rocket are starting to exert their power......

Steve Francis scored two points first, and then, Ron Artest and Jamal Crawford scored one after another, and the Rockets hit a three-in-a-row offensive end.

With a score of 55:64, the Rockets suddenly expanded the difference to 9 points.

Then, Steve Francis hit a chasing three-pointer in the fast break, and Chris Anderson on the inside ran back to catch and dunk, scoring another five points in a row.

57:69, 12 points of difference.

Hubby Brown immediately called a timeout, but when it did, Hubby Brown was confused.

"It's time for Tracy to rest, if he doesn't rest, he won't be able to play in the fourth quarter."

"But now in the third quarter, we can't play, 12 points difference, how to play?"

"Let's also play fast, replace Tracy to rest, let him explode again in the fourth quarter......"

There was an argument between the coaching staff, and Hubi Brown quickly took Dave Jogle's advice – play fast!

He can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor......

……

After the timeout, the Grizzlies made a substitution, with Lorencent Wright at center and Sean Marion, Michael Reed, Chauncy Billups and Wesley Persson on the outside four.

Fast offense vs. fast offense, the Grizzlies fell into the disadvantage, which has to mention the fast break foundation left by Qiao Hai to the Grizzlies back then, Billups controls the rhythm, and the Rockets have no point guards who can control the rhythm.

At the end of the third quarter, the score became 74:70, and the Rockets still led by four points.

……

But for the Grizzlies, the bitter fruit of the three-quarter game has already appeared, and Maddy played at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but his hand was very bad, and he hit the iron continuously.

On the Rockets' side, Yao Ming, who had rested for most of the quarter, scored consecutive mid-range jumpers as soon as he came out.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Rockets continued to widen the point difference, and on the Grizzlies' side, Maddie was in a bad state and was completely powerless against the state of constantly falling behind.

In this case, with 6:37 left in the fourth quarter, the score became 87-77 and the Rockets led by 10 points.

The next two minutes are very important, and if the Grizzlies still can't close the gap, then after two minutes, the Rockets can seal the victory.

……

Hubi Brown called a timeout, and after the timeout came back, Maddie took the ball straight and started to play alone.

"It's time to play Megaplanet......"

Qiao Hai immediately judged the Grizzlies' intentions, and his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately called Steve Francis, who had been resting, from the bench, and Steve Francis, who was in full condition, was ready to play!

On the court, Maddy singled out Ron Artest, broke through on the right side and made a quick stop to pull out a jumper.

Bang, didn't go in!

The Rockets won the rebound, and Qiao Hai stood on the sidelines and shouted twice: "Control the rhythm and play attrition!" ”

At the last moment, Qiao Hai is going to consume time, as long as the crazy counterattack of the grizzlies is dragged over this time, victory will automatically come to the door!

In the positional battle of the Rockets, Ron Artest broke through the inside line after blocking and dismantling the top of the arc, attracting the pinch attack and distributing to the wing.

James Posey received the ball, forced the opponent to return to defense, and then burst into a ground-hitting pass, to Yao Ming, who cut the basket in the air, Yao Ming received the ball and jumped up, and the dunk was successful!

The difference has widened to 12 points!

Maddie turned around and played a 2+1, and Steve Francis took the opportunity to play.

Once on the pitch, Steve Francis immediately contributed, breaking through the interior and attracting defenders on the flanks to pounce on him.

Then he divided the bottom corner, James Posey made a three-point shot, and went in! The difference is still 12 points.

The Grizzlies played more and more impatiently, Billups held the ball and burst inside, didn't find a chance, the ball was outside, and Maddie shot directly!

Bang!

This brutal shot actually went in, and Qiao Hai was helpless.

But the Rockets' offense, James Posey's touch also came, he received the ball at 45 degrees on the left side, faced Sean Marion's defense, and directly shot a three-pointer!

Bang, it's in again!

In this way, the Rockets always maintained a 12-point lead.

The clock kept ticking, and with just over a minute left before the end of the game, the score was 97:85 and the Rockets still led by 12 points.

The Grizzlies tried to hit another ball and didn't score.

Then, Hubbie Brown signaled for a dead-ball chance on the pitch and replaced all the main players......

There was a loud and frantic boo from the GM arena, and Qiao Hai knew that the boos were not aimed at him, because when he got up to replace the main force, there were some cheers on the sidelines.

There were even fans who shouted, "We need Joe!" ”

……

That was the end of the game, with the final score at 99-88 and the Rockets winning by 11 points on the road.

The commentator kept congratulating the Rockets: "Congratulations to the Rockets, they won a victory away from home, and now, in this matchup between the seventh and second in the West, the Rockets already have an away win advantage!" ”

"Just like Qiao Hai said, they do have a chance to complete the black seven against the Grizzlies!"

TNT's commentator Cherry Miller also commented on the game: "This game, in terms of the process, was full of all kinds of accidents, and the result of the game was also very unexpected, the Rockets actually snatched a victory from the hands of the Grizzlies!" ”

"In fact, throughout the game, the accident should have happened in the first quarter, the referee's strict penalty scale caused Pau Gasol and Wang Zhizhi to leave the court early, Qiao Hai immediately made adjustments, and after attacking the inside, the Rockets gained an 8-point lead."

"The next game is Qiao Hai's unilateral crushing of Hubie Brown in terms of on-the-spot command, the big and four small at the beginning of the second quarter, and then Yao Ming, who suddenly appeared on the court, Yao Ming led the team to support the first half of the third quarter, and in the second half, it was a big and four small play, and suddenly a wave defeated the Grizzlies."

"In the back and forth between the regular lineup and the big four lineup, the Rockets finally won the game......

For Yao Ming, I also have to mention that the last game was Yao Ming's playoff debut, and this game is his first victory in the playoffs.

"In the last game, Zhuang Yuanlang made his playoff debut, and he got 21 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, which was not particularly good."

Indeed, in his playoff debut, Yao Ming's performance was not outstanding, and it can only be said that Yao Ming completed his task, but at the critical moment, when Yao Ming needed to stand up, Yao Ming was dumbfounded.

In this game, Yao led the team to the first victory of the playoffs, and he scored a team-high 26 points in this game, and also had 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

"A superstar on the rise in the playoffs ......"
