Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 76 Winning, this reason is very good!

Tomjanovich has a very sharp eye.

On the field, soon, Barkley was caught by O'Neal in a pinch, causing a foul by the thugs and a second foul on his back.

At this time, the game lasted less than 3 minutes. If Barkley couldn't play because of the number of fouls, the Rockets might not be able to win the Lakers.

I'm sorry to point you out, it's not possible, but it's definitely impossible to win.

Even if Barkley played perfectly to the end, it doesn't mean that the Rockets can beat the Lakers.

In other words, with two fouls on his back, the Rockets' flanking tactics were broken, and Barkley would definitely not be able to jump over to help defend, and O'Neal could only be handed over to Olajuwon alone.

You can't stand it!

O'Neal caught the ball and looked over, causing doubts to appear on Olajuwon's face, and the defense no longer stood firm.

Bang-!
O'Neal slammed into the basket, turned around and jumped up.

Bang-dang-!
Flowing clouds and flowing water, low singles moves like an assembly line, Olajuwon has the power to parry, but failed to stop O'Neal's offensive score.

"The insiders of the Rockets are all lightweight, and the disadvantage against O'Neal is too obvious.

Of course, Barkley is not included! "

Why is it not counted?
Barkley is too fat now, and he can't control his body. Wanting to hit the NBA championship is just a wonderful dream.

At this time, Flying Pig really can't fly, and his excess weight makes him only use experience awareness and positioning skills to grab rebounds at the basket.

Big Ben relied entirely on his physical talent to win. With his height still dominant, what can Barkley use to win?
Olajuwon can't defend O'Neal alone, and Barkley can't grab rebounds to grab the big book. They can only score goals against the Lakers on offense.

Not to mention, after a season of training with games, Olajuwon's state has returned.

The 10 all-around skills and the center's ceiling skills can be compared with O'Neal.

On Barkley's side, he is overweight and his butt is more powerful, although he still can't stand Da Ben, who has the league's top strength talent.

But it also made Daben's defensive energy unable to take into account other things.

You know, Barkley's skills are also very comprehensive, mid-range jumpers, breakthroughs to the basket and strong kills, and he frequently succeeds.

The pattern on the court has become a duo of Sharks and Sharks, and the game is played very anxiously.

Bang, bang, bang——!
The reason for the anxiety is because the Lakers are too tight outside.

Kobe and Billups are really a match.

Tie Ke and Tie Lu can still become their 'black material', who can blame this?

As the game progressed, a group of blacksmiths from the Lakers finally hit out that thing called feel!

It's not easy!

It's not easy! !
When Kobe Bryant and Billups feel back, this is undoubtedly the most fatal for the Rockets.

Mobley couldn't let the snake go, Kobe rushed in and pulled the ball up, feeling that Mobley's defensive action was the ultimate, but Kobe could always send the basketball into the basket with a swish.

Dixon must always pay attention to Billups' three-point shots. Then, Billups' organization is easier, and the occasional breakthrough makes Dixon very passive.

After a season of polishing, Mobley and Dixon have been playing starters, and their strength has indeed grown a lot.

Dixon was pressed, or at least lasted longer.

Mobley defended better and shot more decisively.

But that's all comparing yourself.

With a potential value of 85 points, the two of them can play at most 79 points.

This is already the acme of what they are doing now, and it is still a partial one.

Kobe and Billups.

One can burst 120 points.

One can hit 80 points steadily.

The state has come, only the shooting is not pitted, and the situation where the Rockets fall outside is nothing more than the length of time.

Pippen alone can't handle it at all.

After the first quarter, the score was 29 to 24, and the Lakers led the Rockets by 5 points.

O'Neal scored 15 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter. He played very strongly and was very incomprehensible.

Barkley and Olajuwon teamed up for 18 points, but the score was still behind.

……

In the second quarter, Li Mu allowed Billups, Kobe, and Ben to stay on the court, replaced Rice and Horry, and played a small lineup.

Tomjanovich scolded his mother while trying to find a way to deal with it.

In fact, the Rockets had no choice but to keep Pippen and Barkley on the court.

Then, the Rockets' perimeter collapsed.

Rice started by hitting two consecutive three-pointers.

When Pippen switched defenses and Kobe broke through to the inside, without Olajuwon, the Rockets would have no basket protection, and they couldn't prevent Kobe's rush to the basket at all.

If you shrink, you will be thrown to death, if you don't shrink, you will be killed suddenly.

When it was over, the Lakers rushed up and led two old ghosts to play fast break.

The Lakers' offensive firepower was fully fired, hitting waves of attacks.

Tomjanovich could only call a timeout, interrupting the Lakers' offensive rhythm.

There is no use for birds.

This is called unreasonable lineup crushing.

The fight is hard power!

At this time, the blacksmith had a good hand, and with two shooters, the game was completely spent.

The Big Three of the Rockets came back, and they couldn't stand the crazy Lakers. The shock wave of 37 to 19 came out!

"It's a one-sided game!
Is there such a big gap between the rotations of the two sides?

I can't imagine it! "Mike Breen nodded.

You know, the rocket is over!
After the second quarter, the score was 66 to 43, and the Lakers entered the locker room with a 23-point lead.

Compared with the ease of the Lakers, the Rockets are very quiet.

To be reasonable, head coach Tomjanovich saw that Barkley and Olajuwon were in such a good offensive state. He actually wanted to fight hard to win this first game. In the next game, he will have a psychological advantage and a home game. In terms of advantages, you can make a fuss, and maybe you can give the Lakers some unexpected surprises.

Unexpectedly, Tomjanovich's idea had just arisen, but he couldn't survive the second quarter.

Coming back from the second half of the game, the Rockets let the Big Three continue to fight to see if they can be rescued. If not, they must stop the loss in time, stop as soon as possible, and give up this game.

Not to mention, the Big Three of the Rockets are really powerful.

After all, after half his life in the playoffs, the ability to fight tough battles is obviously not comparable to the Lakers.

In the second quarter of the game, all the players of the Lakers broke away, thinking that the game was over, the offense was very simple, and the defensive awareness could not keep up with the rhythm.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets played a 10-3 offensive, narrowing the difference between the two sides to 16 points.

Li Mu didn't bother to call a timeout, but just yelled at Billups and played off the ball.

On the court, after the players communicated, Kobe immediately ran without the ball.

From Li Mu's point of view, this game has already been won. If the Rockets want to play, they don't mind spending more energy on them.

After all, this is a best-of-seven series.

With Kobe running, the Lakers' offensive efficiency improved a lot.

However, the Rockets played aggressively, and they were overwhelming the Lakers offensively.

After the third quarter, the Rockets have narrowed the score to 11 points.

There is still play in this game!
Tomjanovich gritted his teeth and let Pippen, who had only rested for less than 2 minutes in the first three quarters, continue to lead the team to attack.

Barkley, who had rested for 4 minutes, also changed into the game ahead of schedule.

Not to mention, the main force of this kind of deadly manipulation is still the main force of a real superstar, and the effect has also come out.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets once narrowed the score to 6 points.

Afterwards, Tomjanovich's eyes lit up, and he played the last hole card.

The so-called hole card is Olajuwon, who rested for 12 minutes.

That's it, you call him the hole card?
No way, Tomjanovich really can only call the hole card.

Otherwise, you have no cards and no bottom cards!

On the field, the situation is very strange.

When Olajuwon was not on the court, the Rockets counterattacked like a rainbow, eroding the Lakers' score advantage a little bit.

As a result, as soon as Olajuwon's hole card was played, the Rockets' counterattack flames suddenly became much weaker.

On the contrary, the Lakers played loud and sound offensively, regaining control of the situation on the court.

"The Rockets fought with all their might, and suddenly they couldn't play anymore!

Could it be that Pippen and Barkley have lost too much physical fitness? "

In fact, this is also a reason.

In the second half of the game, Pippen and Barkley were the main attackers, physical fitness, if they can hold it, then hell.

Of course, there are reasons that Li Mu understands.

Don't ask, it means that the three monks have no water to drink.

This reason is ridiculous!

So far, Li Mu, who came from the flower planter, can't figure out why!
The Chinese class was handed back to the teacher. I guess I was a little bit confused at the time!

Not to mention, you Americans who haven't heard the story of the florists.

hum~~
Along with the scoreboard, the buzzer sounded, and the game time was over.

With a score of 115 to 105, the Lakers beat the Rockets by 10 points and won the first victory of the series, leading 1-0.

O'Neal scored 33 points, 14 baskets and 4 assists, and continued to maintain a strong performance against the Rockets.

Kobe Bryant also performed well with 21 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.

Rice scored 19 points. He deserves to be an All-Star scorer. He didn't play much time, but his efficiency was very efficient.

巴克利25分10篮板，奥拉朱旺22分8篮板，皮蓬17分10篮板8助攻，三巨头已经打出了所有。

Helpless, the quality of the role players is too bad for the Rockets.

Billups, Big Ben, Bowen, Curry, Horry, etc., all call them role players.

The only ones that the Rockets can afford are Mobley and Dixon, both of whom are first-year rookies.

The Rockets are not wronged to lose.
