Chapter 170
Chapter 170
Fisher's mistake this time seems to be the beginning of the Lakers' nightmare.
Then...
Kobe Bryant missed a single shot against Wei Guo, Dayao grabbed a defensive rebound, Francis held the ball, and passed the ball to Wei Guo on the move.
Wei Guo made a three-point shot.
"Shh!!!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
then...
The Lakers made a mistake in cooperation. Wei Guo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt after stealing, and shot with two steps away from the three-point line.
"Shh!!!"
The basketball hits the net again.
Immediately after...
Kobe gave the ball to Horry, and Horry's shot was blocked by Wei Guo. After Francis got the ball, he passed the ball to Wei Guo.
"Shh!!!"
This voice is like a sharp sword, piercing into the hearts of the Lakers.
63:53! ! !
In the opening 3 minutes, the Rockets scored 10 points in a row and stopped the game.
.......
"Pause! Pause! Pause!"
Zen master immediately signaled the referee to suspend the game. If this rhythm is followed, the Lakers can surrender without waiting until the fourth quarter.
"Dribbling carelessly, shooting casually...is that how you guys play the game?"
"This is still only the second round of the playoffs. Didn't everyone shout at the beginning of the season to win the championship?"
"If you don't want to fight, get out, now I will raise the white flag against Gentry and end this game as soon as possible!"
It was rare for Master Zen to be furious. When he spoke, his saliva was sprayed on the players' faces, but these words also made the players bow their heads in guilt. They played really badly in the past 3 minutes!
After Zen master's lecture, Kobe raised his head, "Coach, I want to win!"
"If you want to win, show me a winning attitude."
Zen master looked at all the players, "I'm not just talking about Kobe alone, but all of you."
Rockets bench.
Wei Guo said: "After the timeout, the Lakers will counterattack. As long as they can suppress this wave of counterattacks, even if they maintain this score advantage, they will win the game for sure!"
"What should we do?"
Francis and the others looked at Weiguo, and even Gentry looked serious.
Wei Guo said: "The tight press on the court gives them a sense of oppression and defends against the most competitive player on the opposite side. If O'Neal holds the ball, Lao Mao, you can help Dayao to defend, and you don't have to worry about fouls!"
"I see, Brother Wei."
Mobley nodded.
Wei Guo just told Mobley not to worry about fouls, and there was no need to say more about what he really meant.
Mobley has only committed one foul now, the player with the least number of fouls among the main players of the Rockets, and Dayao has accumulated three fouls. He must have concerns when defending O'Neal.
........
The time-out is over and the game continues.
Francis stayed in the backcourt, and as soon as Fisher received the ball, Francis stepped forward to press.
"Are you a mad dog?"
Fisher cursed, and he almost missed the dribble.
Fortunately, Horry, who had served the baseline ball, followed in time and received a pass from Fisher, but before Horry could secure the ball, Thomas suddenly slapped the ball out of Horry's hand.
The Rockets' regular lineup has five players: Francis, Mobley, Wei Guo, Thomas, and Dayao.
Thomas is a power forward. Although he doesn't have a high sense of presence, he is also a good player.
actually...
The previous owner of the Rockets considered trading Francis, Mobley, and Thomas away in the middle of the season...but before he started to act, the team was acquired by a mysterious rich man in China.
This mysterious Chinese rich man is also very powerful in country M. When he proposed to buy the Rockets, the former boss dared not refuse at all.
"Beep!!!"
The referee's whistle sounded and Thomas was called for a defensive foul.
"Did I make a foul?"
Thomas ran to the referee, "What a clean steal."
"I saw you hit Horry on the wrist."
"I missed it!"
"You hit..."
"I missed it!"
"you..."
When Thomas was putting pressure on the referee, Wei Guo pulled him away. Wei Guo secretly patted Thomas on the ass, "Nice job, little man!"
This is the effect Weiguo wants.
Thomas made a foul move when cutting the ball, and the referee's penalty is not a big problem, but this defensive attitude will scare the opponent, and Thomas' pressure on the referee is also for the Lakers players to see.
The Zen master folded his arms around his chest!
The Rockets have led 3:1 in this round of the series, but the defensive attitude of the role players is better than that of the Lakers role players.
........
The Lakers sent the ball to the sideline, and the basketball finally reached Kobe's hands.
Weiguo's defense put too much pressure on Kobe...
Wei Guo is taller and faster than him, and seems to be able to see through all his tricks. Kobe can only face Kobe with his back, go to the basket and fake a shot, and then turn around to find a shot.
"Snapped!!!"
Wei Guo blocked Kobe's layup.
"brother..."
After getting the ball, Wei Guo said, "Let's practice the footwork around the basket during the offseason."
Kobe, "???"
Kobe's talent exploded during this period, but it wasn't until five or six years later that Kobe learned his dream footsteps from Olajuwon. At that time, his footwork at the basket was close to unsolvable.
Francis dribbles upfield.
He waited until Weiguo and Dayao were in position before starting to organize the offense. Weiguo held the ball to attract the defense and hit the ground with a backhand pass.
The basketball is in Dayao's hands.
"Shh!!!"
Dayao easily caught the ball and scored a layup.
65:53! ! !
The Rockets lead by 12 points.
"Continue to press the audience!"
"Press the Lakers!" Gentry yells.
Wei Guo said just now that the Lakers should press hard and keep putting pressure on the Lakers. As long as they persist through the third quarter, the Lakers will have no hope of winning.
Gentry thinks...
What Brother Wei said is very reasonable, and this tactic is really great.
........
Pressing the whole court all the time consumes a lot of energy, and it is easy to make mistakes.
But...
This kind of momentum made the opponent terrified.
The fans also enjoyed watching it, and everyone finally saw a spirit from the Rockets, the spirit of the championship!
It is different for a team to have two championship players. It is no wonder that some people say that this kind of experience is very important to win a championship. The Rockets' Wei Guo and Cummings have this experience.
and...
Cummings has been paddling in the regular season, and Cummings, who acts as a technical statistician, needs to play more than ten minutes in each game during the playoffs.
From Cummings' point of view, it's good to win the championship lying down, but when the team needs him, Cummings won't be stingy with sweat.
