"Hollins, cheer up Lao Tzu! Don't let that kid score again!
"Hakim, this is not a college competition! Don't lie on your stomach like a piece of!
"You little brats, see clearly! There are 3 main forces missing on the opposite side, if you can't beat it in this way, go home and eat milk as soon as possible!
"Don't let that kid catch the ball again! Do everything you can to stop him from scoring!
"Let that kid fall, and the Lakers will be finished, do you understand?"
On the Rockets' bench, head coach Bill Feige ranted frantically at the players, pouring out all kinds of ugly words.
In the passionate and confrontational 80s, this happened from time to time, the manager had absolute power in front of the players, and it was common to scold the players in the blood.
Compared to the Pistons' Chuck Daly and former "Cardinal" Auerbach, Bill Feige is already a civilized man.
What's more, at this moment, they are still facing the remnants of the Lakers, with the league's highest "twin towers" combination, the proud Rockets head coach naturally did not put the opponent in his eyes.
He didn't want to lose a game, he just wanted to sweep the Lakers out the door and get to the damn Finals.
Back in the game, the Rockets' tactics at this time are also clear.
That is to prevent Zhou Chen from scoring.
It's just that their tactics of blocking Zhou Chen are somewhat special.
It did not send two or three people to brainless Zhou Chen like other teams.
Zhou Chen took a step inside the three-point line, dribbled the ball in his crotch continuously, ready to change direction and break through.
Seeing that the player defending himself was still Hollins himself, he smiled coldly and collected the ball directly!
"Toot ~ toot!"
Before Zhou Chen could make a shooting move, he was directly pulled by Hollins.
Seeing this, the referee directly sounded the whistle!
"What is this operation? Cut me?
"Don't you know I'm shooting 96 percent from the free-throw line?"
Although Zhou Chen said so, this foul was not a shooting foul, but an early foul.
The Rockets didn't foul either, so Hollins' foul was just to disrupt Zhou Chen's offensive rhythm.
But over the next few rounds, the Rockets' tactic worked immediately.
They did not choose to bag Wu Ming, but let Zhou Chen fall into the strange circle of singles.
Constantly changing people to single-handedly stop Zhou Chen's attack.
Whether it is with all kinds of rude dirty moves or early fouls, in short, it will not let Zhou Chen score comfortably.
Even though Zhou Chen can still score points for the team through his strong shots and free throws, under the interference of this tactic, his connection with his teammates is completely cut off.
The Lakers' fast-paced offensive tactics have also been dragged into a tug-of-war in positional battles.
The Rockets quickly caught up with the score and completed the comeback.
In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Rockets by three points 19-22.
19 points in a single quarter, which is far from the usual Lakers' score, and 16 of these 19 points were obtained by Zhou Chen alone.
The Rockets' tactics did succeed, and although they did not prevent Zhou Chen from scoring, the Lakers as a whole were completely suppressed.
After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers replaced Zhou Chen with 4 substitutes, while the Rockets kept Olajuwon on the court and the other starters rested off the court.
A direct confrontation between champions and top stars.
The Rockets still adopt the "wheel" defense tactic, and have been using different defenders to consume Zhou Chen's physical strength.
Compared to the remnants of the Lakers, the Rockets' advantage is not only on the inside, but also in the number of players on the team.
In this game, they even sent players who had barely been able to play time in the playoffs before, in order to constantly pull with Zhou Chen.
In the face of such extreme defensive tactics, Zhou Chen is also helpless, he can only make free throws that should not be missed, and seize those fleeting shooting opportunities.
Whenever he wanted to break through to the box, the opponent's human wall and big elbow followed, and the Rockets would rather pay the price of a foul than let Zhou Chen easily cut points on their twin towers.
"Since you don't let me score, then don't try to score!"
After an attack was destroyed again, Zhou Chen threw down a cruel word and began to devote himself to defense.
This is the only "game-breaking" strategy he can think of.
That is to fight violence with violence, and use defense to defeat defense.
Zhou Chen has Chamberlain's physical talent and Leonard's defensive awareness, and can almost defend without dead ends.
The Rockets attacked, the backup guard organized the attack in the high position, and after Olajuwon blocked it from the high position, he went straight down!
An inside and outside connection after a hit pass! The ball came to Big Dream.
Olajuwon raised his hand high, raised fire to the sky, and directly smashed into the basket with one arm!
Zhou Chen's body was like a gallop, three steps straight to the basket, a big hand covering the sky, like a divine help.
"Snap!"
Directly fanned the ball of Big Dream!
Zhou Chen, who was suppressed for most of the quarter on the offensive end, the defensive strength of this ball seemed to vent all his anger!
After completing the block, Zhou Chen did not have the slightest hesitation and received the floor ball snatched by his teammates!
Change direction and dribble at high speed, rush to the frontcourt!
The players of the Rockets, seeing this, wanted to step forward to foul and stop Zhou Chen's fast attack!
But it's already too late!
Zhou Chen had just been transported outside the three-point line, and when the defender on the opposite side was still not on his feet, he braked sharply!
Then make a quick three-pointer!
When he saw that Zhou Chen had already thrown this ball, it was too late for the opposing defender to retract his body!
"Toot!"
"Ugh!"
The goal is scored!
The whistle blows!
3+1!
Between one defense and one attack, it shows the true colors of superstars.
Now Zhou Chen is completely shoulder to shoulder at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, carrying the Lakers on his body to advance.
With blocks and 4 points from this round, the Lakers regained the lead on the court!
After the start of the second half, both sides engaged in a defensive battle.
In the half of the Rockets, Zhou Chen's figure can be seen in almost every corner.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a Super Saiyan, with endless energy in his body.
Steals, blocks, pressing defense, Zhou Chen's spirit and hard work also infected the rest of the Lakers' teammates.
Let the teammates, who had already lost confidence, rekindle their fighting spirit.
After the fall of Worthy, Abdul-Jabbar and Magic, the young Zhou Chen finally slowly grew into the team's true leader on the field.
But two fists are always hard to beat four.
Relying on Zhou Chen's outbreak alone was far from enough.
The rest of the Lakers' current players are far from being comparable in talent to the current Rockets.
In the final quarter, the Rockets gradually took the initiative on the court with the steady play of Twin Towers Sampson and Olajuwon on the inside.
Watching the time on the field slowly pass, the difference is getting bigger and bigger.
Zhou Chen sat paralyzed under the technical stage on the sidelines, like a melancholy drunkard, his eyes were confused, and he kept sending wine to his mouth.
"Is it really over?"
He was drunk, he was completely drunk.
