NBA players' biological clocks are very accurate. Night game time is their most energetic stage. The Lakers players seem competitive, and the momentum of the Houston Rockets is not weak, and they have won seven wins in a row. Win being their only goal.
With a highly anticipated gaming focus, TNT will be broadcast live worldwide. The game's commentators are Magic Johnson, Moses Malone, and Larry Bird, as the legendary Houston Rockets star Moses. Malone couldn't explain the game together.
The players from both teams ran out of the player channel and started to warm up. Rockets fans are still excited today, as Judge Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler enter the field.
Before the match started, 90% of the spectators were already seated in the stadium, and only about 10% of the empty seats were left.
In such a world-focused competition, as superstars with a face and a face, they had to show a side of their attitude.
Shark O'Neal walked over to Hakeem Olajuwon and the two of them held each other's shoulders and greeted each other. This American-style guest set is a must-see cutscene. Charles Barkley also chatted with Shaquille O'Neal, but the two didn't seem to be cold to each other.
Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich also greeted Delma Harris. The greetings of the two teams before the match looked good, but everyone knew that they had a smirk behind them. Can't wait to tear the opponent's heart.
Michael Udin also got to speak a few words with his old friend Derek Fisher.
"Dude, it's okay! Now they are the main players of the team!"
As a point guard, playing with Hakim Olajuwon and Charles Barkley was quite relaxing and fun. Derek Fisher, who has solid basic skills, immediately became the team's number one point guard.
"God closed the door for me, but opened the window for me!
Now it seems I was lucky not to be picked by the Lakers. You've been performing well recently. I am so happy for you!"
Obviously there are only two sides to each other, but these two people are like veterans about to retire, what they are talking about here is not like the future, but like the prosperous years of the past.
The coaches of both teams mustered their players one last time, and the battle was about to begin!
Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup for this match, Shaquille O'Neal, Elden Campbell, Kobe Bryant, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel.
The Houston Rockets, Big Dream Olajuwon and Charles Barkley partnered on the inside, and Clyde Drexler, Matt Maloney, and Derek Fisher were outside.
The referee blows the whistle! Let's start this game!
OlaJuwon beats the Sharks and O'Neal wins the jump ball!
The Rockets' tactics this season are very clear: Barkley will do it, and Barkley will make his big dream come true!
Such luxurious twin towers are every team's nightmare in the league. Even if it was a solid deep line like Elden Campbell, he could only suffer when facing the arrogant Barkley flying bull!
With the first goal of the opening game, another four of the Houston Rockets opened the half right for Charles Barkley. Charles Barkley attacked with his back. The flying bull didn't even take off, and his big ass was only two hungry. He pushed Elden Campbell into the basket and scored two points!
Rockets fans go extra fresh. Houstonians cheers for this big new favor is nothing less than a dream to take them two championship trophies.
Although Shaq O'Neal was very much concerned about replenishing the defence, coach Delmar Harris' repeated pressure before the game kept Shaq from holding back the urge.
Shaquille O'Neal knows that, in terms of Charles Barkley's personal ability, if he crosses the entire three-second zone to assist the defence, then Charles Barkley will surely use a beautiful deep pass for Olaju's big dream. great help last time.
In comparisons like that, Charles Barkley scored two points, how he could beat Hakim Olajuwon's dunk and another Charles Barkley assist.
In this game, the Lakers are also very united in their thoughts, that is, they will not die in pairs!
Elden Campbell offered to install the sails for Nick Van Exel. Derek Fisher blocked. Charles Barkley expanded and changed defenses. Nick Van Excel. The breakthrough drew two goals from Matt Maloney. team, and Nick Van Exel quickly passed the ball to Eddie Jones, who lunged just outside the three-point line!
Matt Maloney quickly found his defender. As soon as Eddie Jones looked up, a quick glance at the basket sent his opponent swaying. After adjusting one step, he did a three-figure jumper and hit it hard!
The Houston Rockets serve the ball. In the past, Drexler would sometimes dribble more than half the time. However, from the very first second of the game, Kobe is entangled with him like a ghost and becomes the starting Kobe for the match. Must first complete the task assigned to him by coach Delmar Harris.
The most difficult thing for the Big Three teams is the high level of fault tolerance and the large number of people who can attack the formidable Drexler not rushing for his personal offense, because Charles Barkley will make very good judgment.
This time Charles Barkley's face-to-face attack started with big strides, and then turned around with his big ass. Elden Campbell, who was full of flesh, was so dumbfounded that he lost his center of gravity.
Eddie Jones made a three-pointer, and the Los Angeles Lakers didn't want to let Sharks O'Neal attack Olajuwon's big dreams.
Elden Campbell returned to cover. This time Derek Fisher dodged the cover lightly to render it useless. Bryant plays a game of cat and mouse with a Drexler glider. Kobe plays the mouse in the beginning. Annoying cats gliding in Rockets.
Kobe, who had been running without the ball, was furious with the Drexler glider. The star guard of this champion had never seen a player like Kobe. He sensed that Kobe didn't seem to be here to play basketball, but rather if you're competing with yourself, a veteran like Drexler glider can definitely break through the Lakers' tactical intent at a glance.
Kobe ran out of blanks for a moment, and Nick Van Exek immediately picked up the ball. Kobe's character certainly couldn't let go of such an opportunity, but Drexler's glider still rushed to send him off before Kobe took the shot. Approaching, this defense gave Kobe a chance to make a powerful shot.
Kobe could only distribute the ball to Eddie Jones. There is not much remaining offensive time. Eddie Jones crossed the three-point line in disguise, stopped a mid-range jumper, and made a 45-degree long two-pointer!
Even though this ball accounted for most of the luck, it still shows that Eddie Jones is feeling hot and in good shape today!
Throughout the first quarter, Charles Barkley played against the Lakers guard line, and the exchange of Shark O'Neal and Olajuwon Olajuwon was more like a point-to-point comparison.
In the first quarter, the two teams drew 28-28.
Michael Udin did not get a chance to play.
Charles Barkley scored 8 points in the first quarter and managed four singles with Elden Campbell. Such a one-sided fight did not give Coach Delmar Harris the idea of sending Michael Udin.
Since Elden Campbell found no fault in Charles Barkley's single defense, and even reigning champions like Elden Campbell were pressured, Michael Udin was sure to be swallowed up by his opponents when he played.
In the second quarter, Sharks O'Neal started to increase his personal attacks, and Hakeem Olajuwon certainly couldn't show any weakness, they were still in a pairing condition because they couldn't defend each other in deep attacks.
The inner line exploded when the meteor hit the earth, and the outer line of the two teams also rose. Derek Fisher's squat defense made Nick Van Exel very upset. Their offensive and defensive data increased together!
Kobe doesn't hear anything about the world, he just stares at drexler!
The intensity of the whole game is very high, in short, anxious, anxious or anxious!
The level of confrontation of this game seems to have reached the conference finale, Delmar Harris seems to feel that Michael Udin is currently unable to adapt to such a game.
Such a cold reception made Michael Udin very frustrated. He was clearly still focused on his plans before the game, but now he was not substituted in the first half of the game. This made Michael Udin even more anxious after he did it. recently changed her hairstyle.
At the end of the first half, both teams drew again, 49-49, and neither side took advantage.
Scores like that make the coaches of both teams very satisfied. No one dared to dream of eating their opponent with a single bite. a temporary series is an ending that everyone is willing to accept.
The scene in the first half looked fierce, but the Lakers players did not see the trend of physical fatigue, the soaring adrenaline made these athletes temporarily unable to see any fatigue.
In the second half, the frequency of attacks by Shaquille O'Neal and Hakim Olajuwon increased sharply, but an overzealous Shaq was rocked several times to pay for fouls, and Delmar Harris was called up early. Dazhi couldn't wait to play, but Shaq pointed to the bench to show he could control the situation.
Michael Udin could only return to his position, Delmar Harris still did not put Michael Udin in the rotation.
The reason, Charles Barkley played 24 minutes in the entire first half without a break.
It seems that in the second half, Rudy Tomjanovich may not let him go for a while.
Nick Van Exel's sudden explosion made the Los Angeles Lakers briefly open the scoring at the end of the third quarter, but the situation was towards the end of the fourth quarter. With three minutes remaining of the game, the situation suddenly changed. Shark O'Neal killed, Kim Olajuwon fouled and sent off!
And the Los Angeles Lakers are just four points away!
Shaq passed, giving 34 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Shaq O'Neal left.
"Odin! Come here!"
Delmar Harris called timeout and called Michael Udin.
It was only at this time that he played for the first time. Michael Udin is very unfamiliar with such an arrangement, but he has no complaints as a substitute.
Only those who can stand out in various situations can be the real answer in the head coach's mind.
"Odin, you defend Barkley. He has played 40 minutes. You try to strengthen his physical weakness as much as possible!
Elden, Olajuwon will leave it to you!
The next offense was dominated by Nick. The closest person gave him a pick-and-roll. Another gave Kobe a five-goal display. The Rockets can't run anymore. Let's work harder! "
Delmar Harris traced the cover line on the tactical board.
"How is your physical strength?"
Michael Udin and Kobe walked side by side on the field, he leaned on Kobe's ear and asked him.
Kobe and Drexler were almost out of the whole game. Kobe lost all 2 shots and scored a point with just a free throw. Drexler isn't much better. So far, he has got 2 of 9 4-point shots.
"I'm fine, but Drexler should be throwing up."
Kobe was very confident in his physical strength, but running at such high intensity would indeed affect his feelings, and he was also in no hurry to attack, after all, today was the day when Nick Van Exel's little universe broke apart.
"Shaquille O'Neal was sent off at a critical time. It seems the balance of wins has tilted in favor of the Houston Rockets.
The rookie who was replaced by the Los Angeles Lakers had not played in the previous minute. The power within the Lakers has fallen off a cliff. Now the balance of the two teams has been completely broken!
Charles Barkley is in good form, and this young man named Michael Udin is sure to be a breaking point for the Rockets to turn the game around. "
As a Houston Rockets legend, Moses Malone finally saw the dawn of victory.
"I really like Michael Udin, an Asian lad. If he can spin normally in this game, no matter what he has played before, I think he will appear at a critical moment.
But today Coach Harris didn't seem to trust him much, and it was a little unfair for him to be ordered to at a time like this. "
Magic Johnson has watched every Lakers game this season and personally believes that Michael Udin's strength should emerge in today's regular rotation of matches.
Maybe Delmar Harris was being overly cautious, and Magic Johnson was getting a lot of criticism over coach Delmar Harris' choices.
"I also think that Odin should play early. If he could have shared the time, Shaquille O'Neal wouldn't have taken the full penalty at a time like that.
Playing in such a period of time, it was difficult for Odin to exert his true strength. "
In fact, Delmar Harris' strategy was very successful before Shaq was sent off.
However, several refereeing whistles in the final quarter turned his initially successful strategy into a criticized conservative.
