Chapter 161 The Rockets Against the Jazz
The league really has no way to judge such things!Because, what the Lakers did is really not setting a precedent!Of course, the league still said a word about the behavior of the Lakers!It's kind of a criticism!
But Thomas didn't care at all!In order to win, he went all out!Thomas this season knows that everything is still played according to the conventional style, and everything is being calculated, but who knows what will happen in the NBA next season?
The final battle was also particularly powerful for the Lakers!The 8th place is the Timberwolves!The Rockets finally caught up, and Nick's last madness led to the Rockets ranking 7th!
According to the previous practice, the entire league has three days off after the end of the regular season!Let the teams make final preparations!It is also time to give your list of 12 players!Of course, don't think about it if the Lakers only have 12 people!The Lakers also gave the players a one-day holiday and two days of training to prepare for the final sprint!

For April 4th, prepare yourself for your first game!Thomas hasn't slept a single day for these three days!The contest with the Timberwolves is just a good study of a person!Although the Lakers are 24% advanced, Thomas doesn't want to give his opponent any chance!

But before that, what the Lakers want to watch is the game between the Jazz and the Rockets!Thomas specially arranged a large color TV to be placed on the basketball court. Everyone held their own benches and watched the game in such an environment. First, it increased the team's good atmosphere!The second is to let your team better understand the Jazz. The goal of the Lakers has not changed since then!Every opportunity to learn about the Jazz will not be missed!

"Who do you think will win?" Kevin asked when everyone was watching the game!
"Jazz, right? Their system and players have reached the peak level! The problem with the Rockets is that there is too much difference between the substitute and the main force, and their main force does not cooperate so tacitly! When the Jazz was in the past, I think He played with a substitute! Overall, the Jazz have the advantage!" Fisher was the first to respond!

"You underestimated the Rockets! Especially you underestimated Olajuwon!" Horry looked at Olajuwon in the video with a feeling of sadness! "He's getting old and doesn't have such good physical strength, but in terms of technology, the inside teams are all his apprentices! Or his juniors! Even Ma Long is the same!"

"Horry is right. Why doesn't the Rockets want to meet our Lakers? It's because we sometimes rely on our bodies and our own special skills! Hill's breakthrough, Kobe's youth, O'Neal's scoring, The Rockets, who lack physical strength, are very afraid of encountering them! What's more deadly is that our Lakers' substitutes are more than 2 grades behind the Rockets' substitutes, and our main players can get more rest! This is also one of the reasons. !” Hill also expressed his views!

"According to your inference, at the beginning of this game, the Rockets will suppress the Jazz's offense? Have you played everything you have? By the 4th quarter, you will start to use the time-killing skills of these veterans? "Kobe asked at this time!

"You really have the potential to be a coach! You are very right! If I were Tang Shuai, I would do the same, but I won't let the other party discover my purpose. Although the Jazz team as a whole , the explosive power is a bit weaker, but the persistent scoring ability is very strong. No team dares to say that he is definitely better than him in this aspect! The Rockets will use their 8 points in the first quarter, and then In the second quarter, it’s time for the bench, play out your own advantages, and decide your own victory in the third quarter! That’s it!” Thomas continued his words!

"Coach! Are you sure the Rockets will do this?" O'Neal asked very uncertainly!

"You all remember Olajuwon! You forgot one person! The former super guard Drexler! He has made it clear that this season is his last season, even if he has got all the Honor, but, in perhaps the last few games, his performance is the key to the Rockets' victory! Olajuwon's defense is what the Rockets need most, otherwise Malone alone can resist the Rockets Three-quarters of the attack!"

Time is fast, the Rockets really followed Thomas' statement at the beginning, Nick was put on the bench by Tang Shuai, and Drexler started to attack with the ball!The Rockets led the Jazz with a slight advantage at the beginning, and the Jazz themselves did not expect to fall into the trap of the Rockets!The Jazz themselves are still slowly finding their status!
In the second quarter, under the leadership of Nick, the Rockets began to press the Jazz's substitutes exhausted, and they just tied the place where they did not have an advantage!Even ahead of the Jazz!
In the third quarter, Madman Fan played again after the halftime break, and the Rockets' strongest lineup attacked!From the very beginning, the Jazz showed a desperate attitude, and the Jazz faced it passively!The Rockets completely took the away victory in their own hands with a score of 28 to 14!
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets really deliberately slowed down the pace!The Jazz desperately chased the score. Although the Jazz had an absolute advantage on the scene, the Rockets did not score low. The Rockets with Olajuwon are the team that can score points!The Jazz finally lost Game 13 with a [-]-point loss!
"Coach, you are really amazing! Tang Shuai's arrangement, you have completely hit the mark! This is something that a person who has studied Sloan to a certain level can do! Coach, has your level reached Tang Shuai's level? ?” Fisher said in surprise!
"Ha! You have underestimated your own role! Even a person of Tang Shuai's level must have the cards in his hand! Without Drexler's efforts in the first quarter, without his 23 points today, the Rockets No wonder the team wins! It’s normal for our coaches to choose tactics that can bring out your full power! Alright! Tomorrow we will meet our first playoff opponent! Timberwolves! Um! This They played very well this season! Garnett has grown very well! But he is still too young!"

"Let's break them down tomorrow! Such a team doesn't need us to exert our full strength! Just 6 points is enough!" Thomas said proudly!Now he is constantly using every opportunity to increase his prestige!
On April 4, the Lakers welcomed the first playoff game at home!
The Timberwolves team can be said to be very lucky, or their vision is very good!Although the boss is unlikely to have too much input, the main body of the Timberwolves already has a structure!If it weren't for Garnett's big contract, the Timberwolves' performance would not necessarily be better!

Although from today's point of view, the future Garnett is worth that price!However, at that time, he was definitely not the object of being hugged by others!

The main force of the Timberwolves is very characteristic, there is not a thorough center, eh!Garnett seems to bear a lot of center responsibility!There are Marbury, Garnett, forward Mitchell (later served as the head coach of the Raptors for 5 years!), veteran forward Hammond, and guard Anthony Peeler!
This lineup is really the young Marbury's favorite lineup!All players have the ability to shoot, have the ability to move, whether it is pick-and-roll or breakthrough is Marbury's favorite!
However, such a lineup has a very big problem, who will defend O'Neal?Garnett?

This is the arrangement of the Lakers, O'Neal, Horry, Hill, Kobe, Fisher!
"Kobe! You are the protagonist today! Well! You are here to attack with the ball! You and Hill pick and roll and constantly break through their forward defense. If Garnett defends O'Neal, pass the pass and consume Garnett's energy! The role of Fisher, you and Horry is to open up the defensive players and give them enough space to do anything! We will end the battle with a massacre today, so that they don't want to fight us!" Thomas fiercely Said!
