Tyronn Lue made a very unprofessional mistake this time, which completely annoyed Van Gundy. However, he has a different temperament from Skiles. He didn't even scold him, and directly waved to Sura who was still sitting on the court.
Sura understood that this was the rhythm for him to come on the court to replace Tyronn Lue.
Sura, who had just come off abnormally, was also very happy at the moment. He couldn't wait to go on the field and prove himself again.
Taking off his coat in three quick steps, Sura immediately ran to the technical platform.
However, if you want to make a substitution, you still have to wait for the dead ball, so Sura can only wait at the technical table.
But when he walked to the technical stage, all the players on the field saw it.
Everyone knows that Van Gundy can't stand Tyronn Lue anymore. He will replace Tyronn Lue with Sura, and Tyronn Lue will end up in a humiliating way.
He was defeated by Du Hong and Chen Jie of the Bulls!
Seeing that Van Gundy had taken measures, McGrady, who had originally planned to talk to Tyronn Lue, gave up the idea and asked him to go down and calm down.
Tyronn Lue stood on the court in a daze, feeling like he was surrounded by laughter.
In this offense, he didn't even touch the basketball. The Rockets sent the ball down and directly found Tracy McGrady.
McGrady acted as the point guard and dribbled the ball past half court. Yao Ming resisted Chandler's position in the paint and McGrady passed the ball in.
Yao Ming posted up Chandler, and Chandler worked hard to guard and refused to take a step back.
But after all the differences in height and skills, Yao Ming finally scored two points with a turn-over jump shot.
Then, Chen Jie broke through and fouled Yao Ming. Tyronn Lue was replaced by Sula.
Tyronn Lue's nightmare is finally over.
Chen Jie made two free throws and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
The Bulls' counterattack wave finally came to an end. At this stage of the counterattack, they recovered a full nine points. It also gave the team hope of victory again.
However, Rockets fans are quite satisfied. They are used to seeing the team collapse, and they feel that it is good to be able to stabilize the situation and maintain the lead now.
Just seeing the Bulls' attitude, they thought the game was going to be completely reversed!
Fortunately, there is Yao Ming. Fortunately, there is Tracy McGrady!
After seeing that the score difference remained at ten points, all Rockets fans felt so lucky in their hearts.
If these two superstars hadn't scored goals that stabilized the military's morale at critical moments, maybe the Bulls' flurry of moves would have filled up the score gap and seized the initiative in the game!
However, in retrospect, Chen Jie's consecutive scoring just now is really scary. I'm afraid Van Gundy has to break out in a cold sweat. I believe that after this time, the name Jay Sean has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of Rockets fans. Rockets
Within the team, no one dares to underestimate Chen Jie anymore?
Even Tyronn Lue should understand how ridiculous his ridicule is?
In the third quarter of the game, the two sides began to get anxious when Tyronn Lue came off the court as a turning point.
Chen Jie, Du Hong, Chandler and others still tried their best to counterattack. However, although Sura had just been bullied by Du Hong twice in a row, his performance was still solid, and he did not make too many mistakes in passing and dribbling, while McGrady still
Maintaining the feel of the first half, Yao Ming's advantage in the paint was still difficult to shake, so the Bulls did not recover the score.
However, due to the return of Chen Jie and others and their increased seriousness in the game, the Rockets were never able to open up the score.
The score difference between the two teams hovered around ten points, with the minimum reaching six points and the maximum not exceeding fifteen!
Until the fourth quarter when the main players of both sides came on the court again, the Rockets still led the Bulls by eight points, 88 to 80.
At this time, Chen Jie's score had reached 30 points. In the entire third quarter, he scored 20 points.
McGrady scored more points than Chen Jie, with 38 points, which is almost half of the Rockets' total.
Coupled with Yao Ming's 28 points, the two of them can be said to support the entire Rockets team!
It is worth mentioning that Chen Jie’s 8 assists and Yao Ming’s 15 rebounds are also very eye-catching. The outstanding performance of these two people is worthy of the term Chinese Derby.
Except for Tracy McGrady, basically this game was dominated by Yao Ming and Chen Jie.
With eight minutes and thirty-five seconds left in the fourth quarter, Tracy McGrady and Chen Jie, who finally got some rest, both appeared on the court, which also marked that the game entered the final decisive stage.
In this game, McGrady seemed to be particularly excited. He came on the court after nearly six minutes of rest. But McGrady's touch was still hot. After receiving Yao Ming's inside pass, he made a pull-up three-pointer and directly hit the net. In exchange for a burst of cheers from Toyota Center
.
The shouts of MVP resounded throughout the Toyota Center.
But less than ten seconds later, Chen Jie's three-pointer also resulted in a 3+1 foul by Tracy McGrady, which silenced the Toyota Center.
Superstar 1vs1!
Is this a complete start?
In the CCTV broadcast room, Zhang Weiping shouted this sentence excitedly.
Seeing the two Chinese players performing so well, not only Zhang Weiping, but also Yu Jia and Yang Yi were very excited, and the commentary became more and more passionate.
At the decisive moment, coupled with the passion of the commentary, the Chinese fans truly enjoyed a visual and auditory feast.
Chen Jie made a free throw and the score gap narrowed again to seven points. With eight minutes left, the suspense of the game was not lost at all.
Both head coaches Van Gundy and Skiles were standing on the sidelines, unable to calmly direct the game.
For the Bulls, they need this victory to get their Western Conference campaign off to a good start. For the Rockets, why don't they need such a victory to stabilize their league ranking?
This game is of great significance to both teams!
Next, the Rockets will challenge the Mavericks away from home, and then fly to Miami to challenge the Heat. Although O'Neal is still suspended, the Heat cannot be underestimated.
Before these two fierce battles, the Rockets hoped to defeat the Bulls first.
The Bulls have four road trips. After the Rockets, there are the Nuggets, a game of great significance to Chen Jie, and then there are the Spurs and Mavericks, both of which are strong teams.
If it is a mistake, it is possible to lose four games in a row. Therefore, every game must be fought with all one's strength. This is also the tone set by the Bulls from the beginning.
This first game is even more crucial! If we lose this game against the Rockets, how will the team maintain morale in the next three games?
No one dares to neglect the decisive battle between the two teams in the last eight minutes! (To be continued...)
