The Godfather of Basketball

Billups controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Yao Ming passed to Yi Jianlian's outside three-pointer, but the Rockets retreated as soon as possible, not giving the Lakers a chance to make a fast break.

The offense and defense of these rounds also became a microcosm of the first quarter.

Regardless of whether they scored or not, the Rockets seemed unhurried.

The Lakers played the first quarter, but at the end of the quarter, the two teams scored 26 to 24. They only had a two-point lead, which was so small as to be negligible.

Phil Jackson stood on the sidelines and shook his head while watching the score.

Obviously he also knows what such a difference means to the Lakers.

The opening of the second quarter, the two sides replaced one after another.

On the Rockets' side, Jordan, Yi Jianlian, Artest, Morrow and Sun Yue.

On the Lakers side, Bynum, Gasol, Luke Wharton, Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar.

The Rockets' offense was organized by Sun Yue from the perimeter. Artest blocked Morrow and blocked Brown completely. Sun Yue then passed the ball.

Morrow catches the ball.

"boom!"

The ball was a bit shorter, and Bynum turned to receive a defensive rebound.

The Rockets retreated quickly and did not give the Lakers a quick break.

After Famar pushed forward to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Dagasol. Gagasol played against Yi Jianwen, and he did not move a few times.

After all, the first quarter was full, and his physical exertion was great.

Just then, Bynum reached for the ball and leaned on Jordan.

Greater Gasol.

Bynum received the ball, rushed directly to Jordan, and was about to get a two-handed dunk.

"boom!"

The two muscles collided, but Bynum failed to break away.

He was unwilling to hit a few more times, but did not grasp the ball in his hand, and went straight to the bottom line.

The Rockets have the ball.

There was a commotion at the scene, but Tang Tian didn't seem too surprised.

Bynum is still growing in 2009, and low-post offensive technology has not been developed. What he is most afraid of at this time is that Howard is better than him.

Although Jordan is not as good as Howard, he is also a type of player.

For the Rockets' offense, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll at a high post, and the ball was returned to Yi Jianlian after dismantling.

Yi Jian kept the connection ball and borrowed Morrow from Artest.

Morrow catches the ball and then shoots.

"Oh!"

A crisp sound.

This time he finally hit.

The Rockets overtook the score 27-27.

The Lakers attacked and Gasol was organized from a high position. Seeing his teammates had no chance, he turned and played Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian had a good defensive position and interfered when he shot.

"boom!"

The ball came out of the basket, and Jordan jumped high to grab the defensive rebound.

Sun Yue quickly pushed the offensive after receiving the ball and passed it to the follow-up Morrow, who then made a three-pointer.

"Oh!"

Even came!

With two three-pointers, Morrow successfully played the role of a surprise soldier.

"Follow me!" Shouted Phil Jackson's red-hot Shannon Brown.

He knows that the Lakers don't have the advantage, but he can't accept being scored by Morrow's losing draft.

The Lakers attacked, Gasol came out with a beautiful high drop ball, Bynum took the slam dunk after an empty cut, and finally helped the Lakers score.

Looking back, Morrow was focused on defense, but his off-ball run successfully ripped the Lakers defense line. Artest got a three-pointer in the corner and caught the ball to make up for Bynum's defense. The layup and scoring at the rim also caused Wharton's hitter foul.

In a wave of 8-2, the Lakers were stopped.

"Keep the rhythm, attack the perimeter more on the offensive side, pay attention to protect the penalty area on the defensive side." When suspended, Tang Tian continued to tell the players.

On the Lakers field, Gasol's physical strength is limited, and his strength is in Bynum. Although Bynum is not yet mature, the inside deterrence is still there. His arrangements are all directed at Bynum.

After the suspension came back, the Lakers replaced Big Gasol with Odom, and the Rockets also replaced Yi Jianlian with Shane Battier.

Artesta made a free throw and the Rockets led 33-28.

Odom organized at the top of the arc and sent a second pass to Wharton in the air, but Shane Battier retreated quickly and stood directly outside the reasonable collision zone, creating a Wharton offensive foul.

Wharton jumped into an argument, hissing at the scene, and the referee did not change his sentence.

Sun Yue advanced to the front court, and after looking for a small Jordan pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Artest.

Artest flew to Odom, holding the ball to break the basket, seeing that Jordan Jordan passed the ball directly.

Little Jordan took a big step with the ball and dunked directly with one hand after taking off.

Vujacic also pulled down, but he did not pull it down.

On physical fitness alone, Jordan is not necessarily weaker than Bynum.

Staples Center is also silent.

Over the past three minutes, the Rockets have played a wave of 11-2 attacks, and the Lakers have been 7 points behind.

Bynum was a little irritable, and in the low position, leaned directly on Jordan to reach for the ball, and kicked his back.

With all his strength, Jordan could not hold it a little.

Bynum turned and pressed the ball directly into the basket across Jordan.

"Oh!"

Although Jordan couldn't hold it, it wasn't air. Bynum's body center of gravity was crooked, and the ball flew directly.

Artest jumped and grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Rockets pushed the fast break.

Sun Yue received Artest's pass in the frontcourt, and quickly stopped to make a three-pointer shot.

"Oh!"

The ball echoed into the net.

The Rockets hit a 14-2 climax!

The difference is 10 points.

Phil Jackson finally reached out and called for a pause.

This substitute for the Lakers was directly knocked out.

"Good job!" Tang Tian and the players in the end gave high fives.

After Phil Jackson chose to raise Odom, the situation was now doomed.

Even if the second quarter didn't start with an advantage, the Rockets will start in the fourth quarter.

Without Odom, or without physical Odom, the Lakers' bench is still weak.

After a pause, both sides replaced the main force.

The two teams are deadlocked again, and the difference has been fluctuating around 10 points.

At halftime, www.readwn.com, the Rockets led the Lakers 54-44.

Phil Jackson realized that the momentum was wrong in the second half and pulled Odom back into the regular rotation.

then.

There's no after that.

Although Bryant is still brave, the Rockets are not outdone.

After a fierce battle, the 10-point difference finally maintained to the end.

102 to 92, the Rockets won the third game of the series at the Lakers home, leading the opponent 3-0.

Yao Ming had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Tracy McGrady had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The dual-core play was average.

But the bench exploded, Artest 17 points, Sun Yue 10 points, Morrow 12 points ...

A decision by Phil Jackson perfected the Rockets' bench.
