After Bynum made two fouls, the first quarter was almost over.

Yao Ming also scored 1 goal against Lakers substitute inside man DJ Mbenga.

The score in the first quarter was 28-38, and the Lakers fell behind by 10 points in the first quarter.

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's continuous outbursts in this quarter, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, the Lakers would have fallen behind by more than 20 points.

Now it can be said that Kobe alone carries the offense of the entire Lakers team.

Wang Jiexi sat on the sidelines and watched the entire quarter of the scoring battle between Kobe and Yao Ming. He couldn't help but marvel at Kobe's basketball talent.

He is indeed the man closest to God.

Even after Yao Ming integrated singles tactics, with the addition of the tactical board, Kobe could not fall behind in scoring.

His unwillingness to admit defeat infected everyone around him. After the first quarter, the audience gave the two men warm applause!

The second quarter of the game begins.

Gasol returned to the field to face Yao Ming. The Lakers had completely given up on the idea of ​​​​strangling Yao Ming. Gasol was brought in because in addition to passing the ball, Gasol also had a good mid-to-short range shot, which could stretch the distance.

space.

Bynum, on the other hand, is a completely rough guy with rough skills and a bit of a brain problem.

However, Yao Ming did not play in the second quarter.

Because after Yao Ming finished the first quarter, when he came to rest, his physical fitness had already sounded the alarm.

The system panel data shows that Yao Ming's physical strength has changed from 60/60 to 37/60. If he continues to fight, his efficiency will only decrease.

So Wang Jiexi asked Yao Ming to take a good rest.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Even if there is a completely suitable purple tactical card, there is no way to save Yao Ming's physical deficiencies.

So this is why many people say that Yao Ming can only be regarded as a superstar in the first quarter. In the last quarter, he lacks physical strength and often cannot display his strength and behaves like an ordinary star.

In the final analysis, the tactical board only raised Yao Ming's upper limit, but did not raise Yao Ming's lower limit.

Therefore, Wang Jiexi decided that since he was leading by 10 points in the first quarter, he would let Yao Ming take a good rest off the court to regain his strength.

Yao Ming did not play in this quarter, so Wang Jiexi asked Hayes to play as a substitute center to support the empty interior without Yao Ming.

All the fans in the audience, the on-site commentators, and NBA legend Barkley who was live broadcast on American TV were shocked by Wang Jiexi's arrangement.

Fans complained loudly: "Why not play center?"

"Is it center Ron Artest?"

"Why not let Landry go? At least Landry is about 10 centimeters taller than any other short guy."

The fans were talking a lot.

The on-site commentator exclaimed!

"Look, Hayes pick-and-roll!"

"He cut inside."

"Oh my God, Hayes as center?"

Next to him, Adelman also expressed deep doubts about Wang Jiexi's decision.

"If you let Hayes be the center, aren't you afraid of being beaten inside?"

Wang Jiexi smiled slightly and said, "Just watch."

Adelman was dismissed with one sentence, and he was too lazy to argue with this man.

Hayes' defensive ability proved to everyone what it means to be strong when he served as the Rockets' starting center in 2010 when Yao Ming was seriously injured!

Even though he is short, he is tough enough and has a lot of muscle. He can even compete with Howard the Warcraft.

Who would believe a short center with 1.98? If you hadn’t seen Wang Jiexi with your own eyes, you wouldn’t believe it either.

Wang Jiexi looked at the five Rockets players. The tallest one was Artest, who was 2.01 meters tall.

With such a lineup, the second quarter begins.

Hayes and Lowry, who came on the bench, actually helped the Rockets stabilize the score and prevented the Lakers from taking the lead!

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant combined with sudden shots and scored 18 points in the second quarter without rest, and scored 35 points in the entire first half.

In the end, Gasol used his own skills to hit Hayes under the basket, and the score reached single digits.

The Rockets brought out the confidence of Brooks and Battier in the first quarter, and they performed equally well in the second quarter, so even if Yao Ming was not on the court, they still held on to the score.

The midfield buzzer sounded, 53-62, and the Lakers were still 9 points behind.

Wang Jiexi happily greeted the five players who came off the field and said, "Well done! Have a good rest. We will definitely win in the second half."

In this game, Brooks was in a good mood. He made 3 of 6 shots in the first half and scored 9 points! In the second half, he only needed one more goal to reach double figures.

On the Lakers side, although everyone was a little depressed, they got much better under the leadership of Kobe Bryant in the second quarter.

A 9-point gap is nothing in the game. The Lakers still have two full quarters to catch up.

In the Lakers locker room, Zen Master looked at the Lakers generals. With his rich experience in the game, he knew what to do at this time.

I saw him standing in the middle, clapping his hands and saying loudly: "We haven't lost yet!"

Then, the Zen Master told his own story: "What is your current situation? In 1993, the Bulls I led faced the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. At that time, they were trailing 0-2. In the third game,

After halftime, we were still 15 points behind! But we still made a comeback!"

"Besides, we are only 13 points behind now, and there are still two full quarters in the second half. You must have confidence in yourself and the team! We will definitely be able to come back!"

Zen Master pointed at Kobe Bryant and said: "Look, we have the best shooting guard in the entire league, and you have the best team. Our goal is the championship, and we will definitely be able to overcome any difficulties."

!”

The Zen Master's words immediately inspired everyone present. During the short intermission, everyone's fighting spirit was raised. Kobe's eyes were sparkling.

It has to be said that Master Zen still has two skills, at least he is very good at grasping the hearts and minds of players.

Thinking about the Bulls' two and three consecutive championships, Zen Master played a huge role.

His legendary experience can make his players confident.

Then, at the beginning of the second half, the Lakers were high-spirited and caught the Rockets off guard.

However, Yao Ming, who then regained full health, once again turned the Lakers inside.

The newly restored confidence of all the Lakers players except Kobe was instantly wiped out.

If you don't double-team me, I'll blow up your inside line! If you double-team me, I'll have 4 shooters outside who can shoot 3-pointers.
Chapter completed!
