Chapter 581: Amazing speed of downfall


The rhythm changed too fast. From 14 points behind in the first half to the big headwind, and now the point difference is returned to within 10 points, the Lakers only took half a quarter of the time, and the Rockets coach directly called a timeout to try to contain the Lakers. Overtaking.
   Return to the rest area...
  Olajuwon will be upset, because the difficulty of defending Li Shengli is hell. Although he also played a good stat, the problem is that he does not care about the stats, he wants to win.
   "Buckley, can't you look at Olajuwon's location?"
"Man, what do you think of me? The Lakers are so scattered, and there are a total of five people on defense. Don't you know Lee's assist ability? As long as he scores, the defense pressure is on the periphery. The Lakers will be on the floor. But three guards, do you think the Lakers can't vote for us?"
  Drexler was a little anxious, as was Barkley, and Olajuwon's face was cold, and he didn't like the feeling of disagreement because of small problems, especially for Rudy as the head coach.
"Okay, you don't talk a lot of nonsense!" Rudy would be a little angry. "Now there is a lead. If we stabilize and play or we win. Buckley, on the defensive end, you can let go of your opponent appropriately, put Pay attention to Li's body. He has no way to overturn the jumper, but if it is an attack from the basket, you have to find a way to interfere with the basket. If necessary, directly foul!"
   "That Lakers power forward?"
"Resolve the main problem first and let go of your opponents will not make the opponent more efficient." Rudy turned around and said to Drexler: "Clyde, the defensive tasks are all inside, you All you have to do now is stop attacking, Mario will cover you, try to burst into the penalty area, and make a foul!"
"Also Olajuwon, you must stabilize your mind now. Your performance on the offensive end is not a loss. The only problem now is that the Lakers have a higher hit, but in fact, as long as Li is restricted, the problem is not great. You can Do you understand what I said?"
   Rudy is obviously a little anxious and speaks faster than usual.
In the first half, I thought about chasing after the victory. The Big Three did not participate in the rotation. The second half only played half a quarter. The Lakers rose against the wind. The Big Three have no chance to rotate. The current three players are playing for 30 minutes. The more troublesome, the feeling of death is a bit slow.
  ……
  At the same time, the Rockets' restlessness is naturally the excitement of the Lakers.
Harris would really want to beat himself, because a mistake in the opening decision made the Lakers burp. This is not to show his own coaching skills and tactics. He just wanted to liberate Li Shengli. Offensive, I did not expect the results to be sparse. Instead, it seemed that the least tactical plan and the most unreasonable offensive method had a good effect.
   deliberately arranged a mess, can play it casually to turn over?
   Harris glanced aside, lamenting that he still underestimated the victory of Li Shengli's terror. In fact, since this season, his own knowledge has been repeatedly refreshed, and it has been a new high.
  ……
   Harris briefly mentioned a few words.
   There was no change in the personnel of this meeting, but when he returned to the field, the Big Three of the Rockets glared at Li Shengli, and Li Shengli naturally also felt the'hate' of the Big Three against him.
  This...... Is this anxious?
It stands to reason that the Big Three are experienced big-name players, and this kind of mentality fluctuation should not occur, but the problem is that the opposite brother has felt the pressure, and almost all the pressure comes from Li Shengli. Li Shengli can’t vent his heart without staring at him. Resentment.
   However, the glare was not enough, the anger of the Big Three finally ended up on the field with the suspension.
   The Rockets have teamwork, but the Big Three have a high percentage of singles.
Barkley couldn't hold back the fire, playing singles in a row, and one was a league veteran and a new devil muscle man. The friction between the two was intensifying, but because this is the Western G1 battle, everyone is holding it down. Of course, overall Barkley has the upper hand.
   The same is true for Drexler on the other side. The difference is that Croti's breakthrough restrictions on gliders are very large, and gliders basically rely on two teammates to cover and hit the basket.
   Of course, the handling of Li Shengli's encounter with the two of them was still a score. Olajuwon's offense also improved, and the Rockets temporarily stabilized the situation.
   As for the Lakers...
From the first half, in fact, the Rockets couldn't hold back on the defensive end. The real reason for chasing points was to improve the offense. Li Shengli stood out and stabilized the singles. Then Croti served as the linking point for Li and Ke. Kobe also officially stood out.
  ……
   The situation was controlled by the Rockets.
The Lakers will turn to worry, although the points difference has not continued to expand, but it has not continued to shrink, and what is even worse... As Barkley and Drexler repeatedly hit the penalty area, Li Shengli finished in the third quarter. The number of fouls rose to five, and the Lakers were 7 points behind in the final.
   Hope to come back?
Seeing this, the Rockets fans rekindled their hopes again. Murphy on the game commentary immediately rose up, and the Lakers were still making final efforts during the break. Instead, the Rockets breathed a sigh of relief.
   So in the fourth quarter.
Harris temporarily won Li Shengli. The re-planned inside line is Big Ben + Campbell's offensive and defensive combination. As for the rockets... Rudy basically determined that Li Shengli will rest for a while in the final quarter, so he can't wait to arrange the rest of the Big Three. Join first. It was Drexler who rotated.
  ……
   However, neither side thought.
The main battle so far has not been able to determine the final result, and the Lakers’ substitutions and the ability to cause defects are limited, but the Rockets are quite painful. The opening period is three minutes. The Rockets’ lead has risen steadily, so Rudy By the way, Buckley also changed to rest, but the next three minutes... The Lakers bench sitting on the sidelines was stupid.
"How could this be?" Nick was speechless, but he still squeezed out of his teeth. "Olajuwon should have seen Lee's absence and felt he could take a breath, but it's estimated that he didn't expect...it would have been this way. Isn't it tough, he even hit a big loss and lost all rebounds?"
   "Cough, maybe it is a physical problem." Eddie coughed dryly.
   "Is that all?" Nick turned his head and glanced at Li Shengli, lowering his voice and said, "Look at Ben's confrontation and card position, the horse is the same as Li."
   "And Campbell, Barkley is not there, why did he suddenly explode? Even Kobe started to show his power?"
  ……
  Nick and Eddie are talking, and Li Shengli is also ignorant.
   As an opponent, I don’t know that the Rockets’ backup depth is poor~EbookFREE.me~ but I don’t know that it will be so bad.
   It was just Drakesler and Barkley who got down. The Rockets crashed immediately. There was no movement in the first three minutes. After three minutes, the Lakers were chased by 8 points to complete the lead.
  Rocket is not strong?
The Rockets are really strong, they are super teams with the Big Three, but the problem is that the cost of setting up the Big Three is too high. The trade case of several seasons has emptied the Rockets’ mid-rise building and role players. decline.
   It's just... The speed of this downfall is a bit exaggerated!
   replaced Buckley with rookie Osella Harrington, Campbell was stunned by Buckley, and Harrington was stunned by Campbell, forming a food chain on the 4th position.
  Eddie Johnson replaces Drexler although he is a veteran.
I ran to gold panning in Europe before returning to the NBA in 1995. When the Pacers were traded, the Nuggets were laid off, and then they were found by a very lacking rocket. This is the 14th year that Eddie Johnson has fought on the court. Although I have just entered the league as a capable player, it is undeniable that...it is really old now.
But even so, Eddie Johnson is the Rockets' most important substitute. From this, it can be seen where the Rockets are missing, and when the veteran meets the madman Crotty, it really has been sticking to him and even There is no time for panting.
   As for Olajuwon who is still present in the Big Three, the situation is also precarious.
On the one hand, it is a comparison with Big Ben's physical fitness, on the other hand, Big Ben is inherently defensive material, and without the cover of the wingman, Olajuwon is difficult to play and it is normal. It is impossible to expect two new teammates to play. .
