Chapter 582 The God of War in Los Angeles, but that's it?

Entering the halftime break, the live broadcast screen switched back to the commentary seat.

The two guest commentators invited by the Rockets at home this time.

The first one is center Moses Malone, one of the top 70 stars in the league who played for the Rockets in the late 80s and early 50s.

The second is Calvin Murphy, a retired Rockets star of the same era, and Rudy Tomjanovich, the Rockets player of the same era, but the latter became the head coach, and the former two served as the head coach. time explanation.

……

"Ma Long, did you see that, the Rockets have seen hope, and they have accomplished the task of restricting Lee!" Calvin Murphy said quite excitedly: "If we continue to play like this, the first half will be the template for the future, unless the Lakers can Respond in time or the game will be ours."

"That's right, Murphy, you're right," Moses Malone responded.

"Of course, this is a halftime lead of 14 points. The advantage is too great. The Rockets have enough reaction time. Also, Moses, do you know that before this game, our fans were worried about Olajuwon and Lee. Counterpoint, but now I want to say that everyone's worries are superfluous, as far as this match is concerned, the God of War in Los Angeles...is nothing more than that!"

"Oh, my God! Wake up Murphy, we are commenting on the game, are you sure you are responsible for your remarks, have you considered the feelings of the Lakers fans?"

"Oh God, what did I just say?"

"You said, the God of War in Los Angeles is nothing more than that!"

"Huh? Did I say that? How about... I apologize to the Lakers fans first?"

"Hahaha, you better apologize now, or you will be hated by Lakers fans for the rest of your life."

"Oh, this is really a bad thing, will they ban me from going to Los Angeles? It's terrible, I apologize, Lakers fans and friends, I really apologize, I solemnly apologize to the God of War from Los Angeles!!"

……

The teasing of the guest commentators stimulated the Lakers fans who were watching the game.

In turn, it also aroused more ridicule from the Rockets fans to the Lakers. At this time, the fans watching the game shouted loudly, and the Lakers fans who were not present took the lead in firing and bombarding Calvin Murphy on the Internet.

"Damn it, can this bastard also comment on a game?"

"This son of a bitch, our Li is also what a second-rate retired player can say?"

"Fuck, the No. [-] in the Western Conference has been overthrown by us. Your Rockets are the No. [-] in the Western Conference. How dare you talk?"

"That's right, winning one game can turn the world upside down? This year's championship must belong to our Lakers. This game will be given to you first, so that you can save yourself from the Big Three and be swept away. It's embarrassing!!"

……

Cursing is scolding, but the hip-pull in the first half and the 14-point difference are still true.

So even the Lakers fans are not optimistic about the team's second half, and the Lakers players who are playing certainly don't know these strange ideas and off-court voices. They only know that the home court of this meeting is extremely noisy and harsh.

"Crotty, don't let Drexler in."

"Good!" Crotty responded.

"Big Ben, it's the same with you, you need to remember long after you are beaten, don't let Barkley keep beating you!"

"Okay boss, leave this guy to me to clean up!" Da Ben clenched his fists.

"And Nick, you come to receive the pass." Li Shengli turned his head and glanced at Kobe after speaking to Nick, "Kobe, it's our time now, seize the opportunity, I will play singles."

……

Walking back to the field, the first round of the second half was the Rockets' offense.

The Rockets' tactics are already very clear. It's not even a tactic. It's all about using Barkley and Drexler's singles ability to break the defense.

In the eyes of the two, there are only two results after breaking into the inside line.

The first is that someone other than Li Shengli will make up the defense, shoot according to the situation, score, and if Olajuwon can't score, Li Shengli will be in the position, creating rebounding space for Barkley.

The second is that Li Shengli defends himself, which is also easy to deal with. It is nothing more than splitting the ball. Barkley and Drexler, who were the main attackers just now, have become Olajuwon's wingmen, creating output for Olajuwon. environment.

In the third quarter of the second half, the Rockets still played like this.

Drexler holds the ball, and Crotty keeps a certain defensive distance, and there is a height difference between the two. Crotty is much shorter, so that it is more difficult for Drexler to single-handedly attack. And he simply took advantage of this distance and height difference to hit a three-point jumper.

It's just this shot, Crotty also kept up with the interference, and the hit from outside the three-pointer was already much lower. Picked out the rebound over Olajuwon's head.

……

"Oh, come on, it's the Lakers attacking again."

"Let's take a look and see what ideas they came up with, and what ideas can defeat our Houston army?"

The guests explaining the live broadcast were still teasing and laughing, but the situation on the field had already started.

It's just different from the first half. It should have been Nick's routine of holding the ball and trying to break through the ball. This will become Li Shengli's unassisted and naked singles against Olajuwon.

"Oh, look, the God of War in Los Angeles is trying to single Olajuwon, and his guts have finally grown. This seems to be one of the few singles in this game, right? Come on, fight like a man!!"

Murphy was still jokingly teasing the Lakers, but Moses Malone, who was on the side as a partner, was also a player at the center position. He just watched the details of the game and didn't speak. At this time, Olajuwon's pressure was beyond what the two could imagine. .

……

Again?

Li Shengli's back hit! !

Olajuwon was engrossed. Although he was familiar with Li Shengli's style of play, he was not familiar with Li Shengli's "chaotic" force, because this thing is changing at any time. He can only try to ensure that his center of gravity is not lost, and let Barkley Always keep an eye on the basket.

Just as Olajuwon was thinking, Li Shengli had launched an offensive.

It can’t be said that it was bullying Olajuwon’s old age and infirmity. Although Olajuwon was declining during this period, he was still very strong in confrontation, but Li Shengli was stronger, and his high-frequency back-to-backs had already allowed him to advance to the basket. In the last step, turning his back and stepping lightly, Olajuwon was thrown away, causing him to turn over and dunk with both hands.

……

This... just after you finished speaking, you finally became courageous, and you just dunked Olajuwon in a single hit?

At this time, the atmosphere in the commentary booth was a little awkward. After glancing at the silent Moses Malone, Murphy hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Cough, it's okay, this ball is played..."

"Well, in fact, it's so-so, it's just taking advantage of my physical fitness!"

"But one round doesn't mean anything. The Lakers still have no chance in this game."

"You...you're right." Moses Malone bit the bullet and agreed with his partner, but he knew... Olajuwon was humiliated by the ball.

……

The Lakers played back the most familiar, simple and rude tactics, but the effect was better than Harris' "carefully arranged" effect. No matter what the situation was, Li Shengli was playing singles, and the commentary seats of this game were full of The sound of slapping in the face.

"This ball is not good, Olajuwon did a good job defending, Lee is under pressure...damn, he scored?"

"Come again? Okay, you damn it, I don't believe it... Damn, he scored again?"

"Fuck, director, can I say a few more swear words? No? No, I'm going to say it, this guy... Fuck, he exploded Olajuwon?"

"The Lakers are only this guy alone. You can see that other people can't make it. For example, this Kobe, yes, you can see that he has nothing to do... What? He also made it?"

"Yes, this is the dual core of the Lakers! Apart from them, if you look at this power forward, he can't score... Did he score?"

Murphy was really about to cry, and Moses Malone couldn't stand it anymore.

Although Olajuwon is also bombing the Lakers' basket with the support of the two wingmen, his efficiency is still much worse than that of Li Shengli. With the return to rough play, the rise of the Lakers' offensive end and the oppression of the defensive end are only After more than half a quarter, the point difference was narrowed by 6 points.
