Chapter 157: One Man, One City (3/5!) )

The score on the court was 101-98, and the Rockets led by three points.

Such a situation is obviously what Tang Tian is willing to see.

At this time, it was the official timeout, and Tang Tian called all the players together.

"Hold the tempo, win this game, let's end the series."

"Come on!"

The Rockets players had confident looks on their faces.

Like the past few games, the Lakers' three main players have reached the end of their strength until now, and the Rockets' starters are still full of energy.

The cheers and shouts around are still there, but they can't save the Lakers.

The timeout came back to the Lakers' offensive round.

Fisher dribbled the ball past half court and then handed it to Gasol high post.

Gasol, Odom and Fisher opened up a trademark triangle attack on the right side of the half.

Fisher gave Odom a successful block and Gasol followed suit.

Odom took the ball and shot, but the Rockets were full of energy and quickly switched defenses, and Billups pounced on him almost at the same time as he shot.

"Bang!"

Odom's shot missed, and the rebound was picked up by Yao Ming.

The Rockets advanced to the halfcourt, Billups and Millsap blocked and dismantled directly to Odom, and waited until Gasol came over to make up for it, and directly distributed the ball to Yao Ming at the free throw line, Yao Ming took the ball and rushed to the basket, Gasol's physical strength was not enough to support him to return to defense, and he could only watch Yao Ming score with one hand.

The Lakers' offense is still a triangle, but this time the Rockets defended very hard, Kobe Bryant was also stuck to Battier, Gasol chose to attack by himself, and after continuous shaking, Yao Ming's long arm swung out, although it was not covered, but it successfully interfered with his shot.

The rebound was picked up by Millsap, and the Lakers came back from a timeout without scoring for two consecutive games.

The scene was restless.

On the Rockets' offense, Maddy played a small pick-and-roll with Millsap on the right side, and after facing Odom, he shook the latter directly to the ground with a continuous change of direction, followed by a trademark pull-and-shoot shot.

The Rockets played a 4-0!

The scene was in an uproar.

The Lakers, exactly like the previous games, are about to collapse in the final moments.

"The Lakers have done their best, and the Rockets are really the stronger team." Seeing this, Brin in the commentary seat couldn't help but sigh.

"Although I don't agree with Phil's approach, the Lakers didn't practice bench in the regular season, and they can't do anything better in the playoffs." Mark Jackson nodded in agreement.

"Come on! Lakers! ”

Although the cheers of the audience led by the DJ are still shocking, everyone can feel that the Lakers have gone over.

On the Lakers' offense, Gasol played a block and pick for Odom, but because of physical problems, the quality of the block and pick was very poor, Odom was almost cut off when he received the ball, and he was forced to stop the ball.

There is not much time left for a set of tactics to play, and it looks like the Lakers' attack is going to be useless again.

"Ball! Give me the ball! At that moment, Bryant gritted his teeth and shook off Battier's defense and rushed to Odom's side.

Odom didn't hesitate to hand over the ball, but Bryant caught the ball in one step outside the three-point line and was killed by Battier.

Although his movement speed is a little worse than that of Petrus, in terms of experience and skill, Battier is clearly superior.

With little time left on offense, Bryant didn't have much choice, he used his body to squeeze Battier to create a bit of shooting space for himself, and then dribbled a step straight back to pull it off.

Battier defended with his trademark blindfolding.

Bryant shot a three-pointer against the defense.

"Toot!"

Almost immediately after the shot, a short whistle sounded on the sidelines for 24 seconds.

"Bang!"

The basketball hits the back edge of the basket, and there is a scramble under the basket.

However, the basketball did not go out of the range of the basket after bounce, and it actually went in after a jump!

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

It's a fairy ball.

Life-saving fairy balls.

This kind of team has a big morale boost for the home team, and it is a big blow to the morale of the opponent.

"It's okay, keep the pace." Tang Tian stood up and applauded at this time to cheer for the players, and at this time, he, the head coach, needed to stand up as a backing.

Billups, as a veteran and commander on the field, was also shouting at this time to remind the players to stay focused.

On the Rockets' offense, Billups handed the ball to Yao Ming, and then directed his teammates to run, and he himself followed up with Maddy to make a no-ball block, and cut to the basket after dismantling the ball.

Yao Ming followed the pass, and after Billups saw the Lakers shrinking, he glanced back at Maddy, and after the deceived Gasol made up the defense, he then hit the ground to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming receives the ball and makes a mid-range shot.

"Huh!"

Yao Ming's shot hit steadily, and the Rockets once again took a six-point lead.

There was some desperation among the fans at the scene.

Kobe Bryant's fairy ball had just ignited their hopes, and Yao Ming's goal extinguished their hopes.

"Damn, why didn't that Mitch [Kupchak] guy bring Yao to Los Angeles?" Nicholson, who was in the front row, couldn't help but curse.

Kobe Bryant's fairy ball pulled the Lakers back from the edge of the cliff, but it couldn't make up for the team's physical strength.

The quality of the pick-and-roll was not high, and it could not create advantageous matchup opportunities, and the Lakers' triangle offense became very weak at this time.

Kobe Bryant fell directly to the low post at this time, leaning his back against Millsap and reaching out for the ball.

Fisher motioned for everyone else to pull to the other side, then gave the ball to Bryant.

The eyes of everyone on the scene also looked at Kobe.

After O'Neal's departure, Bryant was undoubtedly the only symbol of the city, and now everyone naturally pinned their hopes on him.

"Turn around!" Thibodeau was on the sidelines at Millsap at this time.

Although this is a misalignment, Kobe Bryant has scored 46 points in this game, to say tired, he is definitely the most tired, Millsap is full of energy at this time, and he has a chance to defend himself.

Kobe Bryant took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the Rockets' defense, and after seeing that there was no bag, he directly leaned into the fight.

Although his physical strength is close to the limit, his rhythm is still very good.

To be called the strongest scoring guard since Jordan is not for nothing.

Millsap was also very hard, and he didn't let Kobe get too close.

Kobe Bryant felt that he couldn't move, and directly turned around and shot a dummy shot.

Millsap didn't jump.

Kobe Bryant shook again.

Millsap still didn't jump.

Bryant shook for the third time and jumped straight back.

Millsap also reached out to interfere.

This ball defense is very good, and Kobe Bryant is difficult.

"Huh!"

A crunch, it's hard, or in.

The cheers at the scene exploded directly, and the sound flooded the entire stadium like a wave.

Nicholson was even more excited to stand up directly from the front row and raise his hands high.

One man, one city!
