Pulling the chair away - this action has been criticized among the people, but it is a very practical move in regular competitions.
Some experienced players often use this trick to make a difference.
Griffin was dumb and unable to express his pain, so he could only raise his hand to apologize to his teammates.
The game continued, and Ross continued his performance.
Facing Lowry's defense, he made a huge crossover to get past him, rushed to the penalty area, made a difficult throw, and sent the ball into the basket again.
60:54, the Bulls continued to narrow the score.
At this moment, all the Rockets players realized something was wrong and looked at the coaching bench.
However, Mark Jackson still crossed his hands on his chest and watched the game calmly, without any intention of pausing.
Lori couldn't help but feel a little confused.
[In such an important game, shouldn’t we call a timeout and adjust our tactics now?]
[No matter what happens, just interrupt the opponent's rhythm...]
He thought in his heart.
At this moment, Yao Ming raised his hand and motioned for everyone to gather around him.
"Brothers, calm down, the advantage is still on our side."
"I'll use my normal tactics for a while, pass the ball through my hands first, and pass it a few more times, and the opportunity will definitely come up!"
When everyone heard Dayao's firm words, the confusion in their eyes dissipated a little.
After rejoining the offense, Lowry handed the ball to Dayao according to tactics and immediately started running.
This time, the Bulls chose to let Noah continue to guard Yao Ming alone.
Upon seeing this, Dayao immediately started beating him from behind.
This time, he hit the ball high and did not give Noah a chance to strike. He turned over and hit the ball steadily.
62:54, the Rockets finally broke their scoring drought!
On the coaching bench, Mark Jackson silently clenched his fist with his right hand.
As soon as the goal was scored, it showed that the players gradually calmed down.
And this experience of solving problems in adversity will be very important in the future competition for the championship!
After this ball, the Rockets regained their first half form on both offense and defense.
Because of Rose's outstanding performance, the Bulls' morale is high and their condition is still hot.
The two sides then entered a stalemate - if you advance one, I will advance too; if you don't advance, I won't enter either...
This wonderful tacit understanding lasted for nearly 5 minutes, and the game once again entered the transition period.
For the Rockets, it’s still a regular rotation.
The Yao-Mai team all took a break, and many substitute players came on.
On the Bulls side, Thibodeau walked to the sidelines during a free throw and asked his beloved general: "Derek, how are you feeling now? Can you continue to play?"
Rose turned up his jersey, wiped the sweat from his face, nodded and said, "No problem."
Ever since, the rose continued to stay on the court.
He plans to play the entire third quarter!
It has to be said that the young and healthy Rose does have the style of a veteran player.
He is just like Allen Iverson back then, staying on the court for almost the entire game and always running tirelessly.
Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls successfully caught up with the score in the transition period.
At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 75 and the two teams returned to the same starting line!
During the break, CCTV commentator Yu Jia couldn't help but sigh: "This year's Ross is just like the advertising slogan designed for him by Adidas - too.big, too.strong, too.fast, too.good!"
"The translation is, too high, too strong, too fast, too perfect!"
"Objectively speaking, his performance in this game was better than Tracy McGrady."
Yang Yi nodded, agreed with his partner, and added: "After three quarters, Rose has scored 30 points and 7 assists. As a point guard, he also got 5 rebounds."
"Tracy McGrady also performed very well. He scored 25 points, 5 assists, 1 block and 1 steal."
"Rose not only has the upper hand in terms of statistics, but his influence on the game is also unique. But I believe that McGrady will respond in the fourth quarter."
............
At this time, in the box, Shen Fei was still watching the arena calmly.
The progress of today's game was actually a bit beyond his expectation.
Obviously the book strength is obviously better than that of the other party, but there is a faint tendency to be overturned...
Moreover, this is the first time since Shen Fei took over the Rockets that he has seen the team be completely passive at a certain period of time.
Rose's outstanding performance also sounded a warning to him - this Rockets team is not invincible, and may even reach a stalemate due to the sudden outburst of a certain opponent's star.
Shen Fei thought carefully about the cause of the problem, and soon, he had a glimmer of understanding.
In fact, the two core players of the Rockets - Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming - are essentially players between stars and super giants.
In the original time and space, Yao Ming was not recognized as the number one center at his peak, but was only one of the candidates.
The peak of Tracy McGrady's competitive status should be during the Magic and the short period of time when he first joined the Rockets.
But even during his strongest period, he could not touch the MVP trophy.
In fact, McGrady's best result in the MVP selection was only fourth place.
To put it simply, in the original time and space, Yao Mai was never at the level of the OK combination from beginning to end.
But now, because of Shen Fei's appearance, the two of them have recovered their health in their golden years.
They are now stronger than any period in the original time and space, after all, their skills and bodies are at their peak.
But...this does not mean that the Yao-Mai combination will definitely become the best players in the league.
Now, McGrady ranks first in the MVP list, but judging from this game, Rose seems to be the better player.
"Prove that my past expectations were not just fantasy..."
Shen Fei muttered to himself.
In his previous life, he always believed that if the Yao-Mai combination could stay healthy and Alexander could help them allocate enough helpers, the Rockets would have the potential to win the championship.
The subsequent many setbacks did not fully reflect the true strength of the two men.
And now, Shen Fei believes that he has equipped Yao Mai with the best helpers.
If such a configuration still fails to win the championship, it may only be an issue with the quality of the core of the team.
[Perhaps, today’s game is a good touchstone.]
Shen Fei thought in his heart.
He is a very realistic person.
If the Yao-Mai combination does not have the ability to become the core of a championship team, Shen Fei may have to change Curry to be the core in the next season.
After all, Meng Shen is a proven superstar who can lead the team to build a dynasty!
Of course, if Yao Mai can prove himself, Shen Fei will let Curry develop for a period of time before slowly taking over the "flag".
............
While Shen Fei was brainstorming, the Bulls took the lead early in the fourth quarter!
Rose continued to stay on the court, leading the Bulls to battle against the Rockets' substitutes.
The Bulls were in full swing, and when the players saw their core working so hard, they naturally gave 120% of their energy to the game.
With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mark Jackson sent the main force led by Tracy McGrady back to the court with a wave of his hand.
